Don't confiscate my identity as a human race-Chapter 1078 - 773: Hyperion Returns to the Starting Point
Wisteria petals fell with the wind outside the window, scattering a plethora of colors across the ground.
Antanas counted the number of people.
"Did Talia follow Lanci in as well?"
She could never quite tally the numbers, always feeling someone didn’t match up.
Even excluding the five who had entered with them and Lanci, Lan Qi Tatta, and Cat Boss on Lanci’s side, it still wasn’t enough.
"I think, maybe she did."
Pranay muttered noncommittally to himself.
"When you say it’s so, it’s usually true..."
Antanas surmised that Pranay had probably once again successfully triggered his Thousand-Mile Eye and glimpsed only a fragment of the Shadow World.
Diviners were considered the most noble attribute because they could always obtain intelligence that was too advanced for the moment.
As long as Pranay was not in an episode, he was an ace in the Shadow World.
And to prevent the leaking of heavenly secrets that could cause a chain reaction affecting both their vision of the future and their best strategies for responding to it, they often chose to speak in riddles.
This would make those around them anxious, even to the point of wanting to read the truth directly from his mind.
"Pranay, tell me the truth. Did you see something more dangerous, and that’s why you chose not to go to Purgatory City with Huebelle, and instead chose to act as the big brother leading the surrender?"
Antanas observed Pranay with narrowed eyes.
A few days ago in Thuringian Province, Nistrello City, when they witnessed the Empire’s opera performance, Pranay had suddenly disappeared.
Antanas had suspected Pranay then.
"No, why would that be?"
Pranay said, unemotionally.
"It’s just that Huebelle might encounter Lanci and Talia, right? What’s so dangerous about that."
Sinola interjected from the side.
"Er."
Antanas thought that made sense.
Aside from the occasional storm, the three of them had learned how to live harmoniously together.
"What if Huebelle can’t get into Ancestral Land in Purgatory City?"
Snow Witch was deep in thought, concerned about Huebelle.
Although she did not usually seem very close to Huebelle, always maintaining aloof and intellectual coolness, she had long since regarded Huebelle as her treasure. Now that Huebelle was left to explore the unknown Demon World alone, she was quite worried.
According to the information Antanas, the socialite, had gathered from Naikarisu the day before, the Blasphemy Lord was a member of the Great Demon Clan with an extremely evil taste, cruel and devoid of any ethical concept; the purer the creature, the more she wanted to desecrate and destroy it.
Snow Witch could see that the Blasphemy Lord harbored a particularly twisted desire for Huebelle.
She dared not imagine what might happen if Huebelle angered the Blasphemy Lord and was captured by her.
"It’s all right, Talia and the others should also be heading that way."
Pranay shook his head.
"Your plan really has no omissions."
Antanas gave him a thumbs up, praising Pranay.
Mrs. Lan was there too, so it should be fine.
"Wait, so you did see Talia and Lanci together, right? And who’s the Challenger?"

Antanas frowned, as it suddenly dawned on her.
"Such a good sister won’t be found again in the future..."
Pranay stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the falling wisteria petals, his eyes distant and pensive.
"I don’t understand."
Antanas thought for a while but couldn’t grasp Pranay’s meaning.
On the tea table, there were never-seen-in-this-world treats from a bygone Demon World era.
Cookies embedded with rare Demon World berries gave off a fragrant aroma, flaky pastries filled with luxurious nuts were rich in layers and delectably crisp, and there were also three boxes of puddings in several flavors.
"It seems we can only rest well in Naikarisu, then return to the present world and ask Xiu Bao."
While speaking, Antanas unceremoniously picked up another pudding and placed it in her mouth to savor it carefully.
Compared to the suspect Stormy Shadow World, the present world was so tranquil it was featureless.
The only thing to do was to rehash the strategy.
"So does this Shadow World’s goal still concern us?"
Snow Witch still felt uneasy.
She didn’t understand how Antanas and the others could slack off with such ease and peace of mind.
Having not been seen for a long time, the noble pride of the three Great Demon Clan had already been worn away; now they were only focused on lying low or getting by.
"The so-called leisure study is a science of ranking up in the Shadow World while lying down."
Antanas earnestly explained to Snow Witch.
For a support class like her to achieve a sweeping victory, it’s often most important to identify the boss of the team, and since they encountered the Tongtian Generation, they no longer had to worry about how to win.
"We shall consider it three weeks of preparation, then return to the South Crayney Empire’s Imperial Capital, Brilda."
Sinola said, seated on the sofa and sipping her tea lightly.
Brilda was the real battlefield.
Being in this Shadow World, the old magical capital from ten thousand years ago, felt like a dreamlike experience.
It was unimaginable to even think of coming to such a place as a tourist.
This sort of treatment was simply on par with being a distinguished professor at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.
Ever since following Lanci, they hadn’t experienced any hardships. Every day was like staying in an amusement park with only occasional actions needed, and Lanci always ensured their safety with full security. In any incident, he would be the first to rush to the forefront.
Such a boss, if he had any ambition to become a behind-the-scenes ruler of the world, his subordinates couldn’t help but be utterly loyal to him.
Unfortunately, Lanci was too laid-back, with no desires like a common person.
"So I really don’t have to do anything next, just pretend to be utterly loyal to the Blasphemy Lord and wait for the Shadow World settlement? Aren’t you concerned at all about contribution points and the rewards associated with them?"
Snow Witch felt that playing the Shadow World this way was utterly ridiculous.
