System's POV-Chapter 953: The Suspense Is Terrible. I Hope It Will Last

Shana used her magic to help everyone recover faster.

The incident was already reported to her father, and right after their conversation ended, Tristan immediately sent a gag order. With that, the attempted kidnapping of his daughter and Erica was thwarted from spreading.

The special forces from Myrtle City, who had come to give the two ladies additional escorts, had also been briefed on the situation.

The credit for saving Erica and Shana was given to Siri, further increasing her reputation within the Central Government.

This was a part of Zion's agreement to make the young lady of "unknown origins" treated as an ally instead of a spy from whatever faction they believed she belonged to.

Zed had also been tasked to continue escorting the two ladies back to Casimir City and ensure that they wouldn't suffer any inconvenience during their travel.

Meanwhile, in the Domain of the Apocalypse…

"I'm a little jealous of Thirteen," Camazotz said to Kamrusepa as he looked at the latest victims of the teenage boy's meticulous preparations. "Not only is Metatron giving him special treatment, he can even toss whoever he wants inside the domain given to him and imprison them for life."

"Are you complaining?" asked Metatron, who suddenly appeared beside the Death Bat, with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Why should I complain?" Camazotz was already used to Metatron appearing out of nowhere, so he wasn't surprised when the latter appeared.

In fact, he already expected it to happen.

"Thirteen is physically the weakest among us, so I understand the special treatment," Camazotz added. "And since we are on the same team, I can only see this as a win for our faction."

Kamrusepa only smiled faintly because she agreed with Camazotz's words.

The stronger Zion became, the more powerful their faction would be.

"Still, who is this pitiful kid?" Camazotz poked the unconscious Prince Zorren. "Did he antagonize Thirteen? That kid only sends people and monsters who offended him to this domain."

Khan, Harahon, and Lord Zorca, who had been tossed to the Domain because they had offended Zion, flinched at the same time.

They almost felt sorry for the Prince. Their offenses were nothing compared to the attempt to kidnap their Master's women.

If they were Thirteen, they would have already ripped the Prince to shreds and made him regret his decision until he passed on to the afterlife.

But Thirteen was far crueler than any of them.

"His name is Prince Zorren," Khan replied. "A prince from the Skavari Race, or at least that's what I learned from that guy."

Khan pointed at the giant purple snail he had beaten up black and blue.

The pitiful creature's body was shuddering because Kamrusepa and Paimon had been paying close attention to it.

If not for the fact that the monster was Thirteen's captive, they might have already forced it to sign a contract with them.

They could tell how valuable the monster called Ossan was.

So, the two planned to negotiate with the teenage boy and see if they could strike a deal with him to trade for its ownership.

Ossan didn't dare to use its powers against the Majin Prince and the two Majin Princess, who were looking at it as if it were some kind of delicious food.

It understood the difference in their Ranks, so it decided to stay put and find a way to survive his current predicament.

"Will Zion come to deal with them today?" Kamrusepa asked Khan. "I heard he had fallen ill. I expected this to happen sooner or later since he has been pushing himself lately."

"I don't know if Master will visit today," Khan answered politely. "From what I gathered, he's still not feeling well."

Kamrusepa nodded in understanding and once again shifted her attention to Ossan.

She and Paimon completely ignored the Rank 7 Harpy Queen, which was temporarily held inside the Domain as well.

Camazotz also didn't put any importance on the monster. In his eyes, it didn't hold any redeeming qualities.

While most Wanderers would jump for joy if they managed to get a Harpy Queen Avatar, to the beings of the trio's rank, it was just an ordinary monster they could kill with a slap of their hand.

"By the way, Metatron, you said the veil that protects Solterra and Pangea is starting to weaken, right?" Camazotz asked. "Will that ambitious Artemian King really make his move?"

"He will," Metatron smirked. "I'm even looking forward to seeing his schemes in action."

The God of the Apocalypse would happily approve of anything that would give the Laplace Demon and The One a headache.

There was no love lost between them, and seeing the two of them suffer would only make him sleep better at night.

They had agreed on a temporary truce, so Metatron planned to enjoy the show on his front-row seat and eat some popcorn as he watched the entertaining play that would soon be played on a grand stage.

The veil that protected Solterra and Pangea was now at its weakest, and this would certainly be exploited by different factions who wished to lay claim to the worlds of Solterra and Pangea.

He knew what Gomorra and the Artemian King were planning.

However, there was a possibility that a third or even a fourth party might join this three-way battle of supremacy.

The God of the Apocalypse was very curious if Thirteen had made enough preparations to handle any unexpected variables that might appear in the next few months.

'Unfortunately, he is but one person,' Metatron thought. 'While he has created several trump cards, everything revolves around him. If something were to happen to him, everything would crash and burn.' freēnovelkiss.com

Of course, Metatron was also aware of the trump cards the Monarch Clans and the Prestigious Families, as well as the Central Government, had prepared for the upcoming invasion.

He even had high hopes for Project Exodia by the Ashford Clan.

The only ones whom he couldn't predict were Laplace Demon and The One.

'Still, this will be a good show to watch,' Metatron mused as he eyed Camazotz and Kamrusepa.

He was also aware of the sneaky preparations that the two of them were doing, but he had no intention of leaking this information to anyone.

The God of the Apocalypse was happy that the members of his organization were also actively making their moves in both Solterra and Pangea.

'The suspense is terrible,' Metatron thought with a smile. 'I hope it will last.'

And with that, the God of the Apocalypse disappeared, waiting for Zion to visit his domain and deal with the unconscious Prince, who would soon face a suffering worse than death.
