Universal Lord: Creating My Valkyries Army
Chapter 144 World(2)
"Then what do you suggest we do, brother?"
Ner asked after calming down his anger. He knew he could get quite emotional sometimes, so it's best to get his advice from his brother.
"I understand your anger, but we can't move due to anger."
Balmond Nightless spoke as he put down the glass of wine, his face turned serious as he continued to speak.
"We need to form an alliance with the beastmen."
"Hhhh!!"
Hearing his words, Mai Skyfall reacted the strongest; the law contained in her body exploded outward before she managed to calm herself down.
"Are you sure!"
She asked in a cold tone as the glass in her hand shattered, spilling the wine. Hearing her words, he nodded his head.
He knew how much she hated the beastmen, after all, her one and only lover in her long life was killed by a beastman. If not for the fact that at the time she was pregnant, at the time she would have attacked the beastmen without caring for the consequences.
"I see."
She spoke softly as she calmed her anger; she knew that the situation called for such a response.
"I will join the alliance, but don't partner me with a beastman."
She spoke as she picked up the bottle of wine and started to chug it down. Ner watched from the side silently.
"Will the beastmen accept?"
"They don't have a choice; the situation of the continent has shifted far too quickly. If we don't make a plan, we will all be swept away by the tide."
He said sternly, he wasn't wrong, after all, within the span of less than half a year, the situation of the world had been flipped over its head.
The appearance of the lords was one thing, but the temporary corruption of the sun and the moon seemed to have lit a fuse as the situation of the world started to deteriorate rapidly.
Now the lords have also become so strong that even without the protection covering their main city, they will need a heavenly King to have a chance of destroying the strongest among them.
"You two should be prepared for war."
Balmond spoke as he felt a pang of sadness looking at the empty glass of wine. It was a very precious wine, even though he only had three bottles in his collection.
"Understood."
"Don't worry."
Both of them spoke as the throne underneath them started to collapse, and the three of them gave each other one last glance before their figures disappeared.
Far in the distance, the beastmen alliance had also finished their talks, since the most affected by this incident were the humans; the beastmen didn't have too much to talk about.
"Baron stays, others disperse."
As all the leaders finished their talks, an omnidirectional voice spread throughout the room, and hearing that voice, all the chiefs turned their attention toward Baron, one of the Mortal Kings, to survive that battle.
Although they had a lot of questions in their hearts, they didn't dare stay any longer than needed; giving each other a signal, they dispersed one after another.
Baron watched the room become empty with cold eyes. After surviving so many near-death battles, his will had grown stronger than it even was.
"Do you know why we stopped you?"
A course voice floated as a white-haired bull beastman appeared before him. The presence of the beastman made Baron's body freeze as he barely managed to answer.
"Ple-as-e-ase enligh-g-tene me, you maj-majesty."
Saying those five words felt even harder than surviving that dragon's domain to him. It was as if what stood before him was the world itself.
"HAHAH, don't scare that little fellow."
A loud laugh sounded as a lion beastman with golden fur appeared next to the bull man, followed by him, a female deer beastman, and a female cat beastman, who also walked out.
All four were the false gods of the beastman race of this era, although all of them were only in the initial and mid-stage false god realm. In a battle, they are equal to the human side due to their number.
"Unserious."
The deer beastman said as she created a throne beneath her and sat down, the cat beastman just gave a smile as she also sat next to her.
"Well, there is no need to be serious all the time, ahah."
The lion beastman laughed just to be suddenly kicked by the Bull beastman, the strongest among them.
"Calm yourself down."
The bull beastman spoke as he patted Baron's shoulder, as if by magic, Baron's shaky body started to straighten. His mind, which was also consumed by fear, also cleared.
"As he asked, do you know why we called for you?"
The deer beastman spoke as she looked at Baron with piercing eyes. Baron's body shook a little as he felt that his very existence had been seen through.
He wasn't wrong, as the deer beastman was using a skill of hers to make sure they had called out the right person.
"Is it for my failure?"
He asked as he prepared himself to be punished, though he felt in his heart that this wasn't the case.
"No, silly, if you needed to be punished, the demigods, heavenly kings, and the earthly kings are more than enough to punish you."
The cat beastman spoke as she took out a bottle of fruit juice and started to enjoy it in a leisurely manner.
"We have called you to tell you about your special identity."
The lion beastman spoke in a serious tone as he stood up from the rubble surrounding him.
"Special Identity?"
Baron spoke in a confused voice. He wondered what kind of special identity he had that required the gathering of all the false gods of his race.
"Have you wondered why the number of false gods in this continent has always remained consistent?"
The bull beastman asked as he looked at Baron, waiting for his answer, though he knew that Baron couldn't answer this question.
"Pardon my lack of knowledge, but I am unaware of such things."
Baron answered, trying to act as respectfully as possible, though he wondered why a small mortal king like him was asked about the affairs of the False Gods.
"Well, it would have been weird if you were aware."
The lion beastman once again returned to his joking self as he took out a bottle of beer and started to chug it.
"You see, since the creation of this continent, there have been thirty-nine false gods standing tall at a time."
"This number had decreased but never increased, because all false gods must face a god's calamity every nine billion years or when a new false god is about to rise carrying the luck of the new era."
"Gods Calamity?"
"When a new false god is about to rise, and if the number of existing false gods is thirty-nine, then the calamity will strike all false gods; in this calamity, either they will ascend to true godhood or die trying."
"If they survive the calamity and don't rise to godhood, they will gain another nine billion years of existence."
"So you may be wondering what this has to do with us calling you here."
"It's simple, you are the child of fortune of this era for the beastman race."
"What!!"
Baron shouted as he was shocked beyond belief, after all this news was shocking enough. He who was a mere Ascension rank beastman just a few months ago, was being told that he is destined to reach the false god realm.
"Don't be surprised, haven't you wondered why you have survived so many calamities and are now almost on the verge of reaching the Earthen King rank?"
The deer beastman spoke as she put down her cup of herbal tea. Hearing her words, he snapped out of his confusion.
Just as she said, if he looked back, it was a miracle he had survived for so long. The mortal kings who were once his superiors are now dead, and the earthen kings whom he followed are injured and resting.
Even in such a situation, he had somehow managed to survive relatively unharmed. Plus, the fact that his realm was advancing far too quickly.
After all, a normal Mortal King takes a few thousand years to reach the Earthen King rank, even if they are talented beyond belief.
Before she pointed it out, he seemed to have ignored this point, not just him, but also all the other chiefs he had met.
It was as if some unknown force was playing with their cognition. As he thought more and more, he finally understood how outrageous his life had been these past few months.
"It seems you have more or less understood your situation."
The bull beastman spoke as he looked at Baron, whose eyes had gained a layer of clarity.
