Chapter 848: Chapter 112 Solving Problems

"Blood of Divinity? Oh, you mean the blood that belongs to the Triclops themselves," Victor said after some thought. "But I wasn’t the one who transported that, Felic, did you handle that affair, or was it Sandy? I’m the one who captured three Marsh Stalkers in the swamp, but I didn’t bother with the rest, it’s too time-consuming, and my time is precious, I can’t waste it all there. So, I left the matter of the Blood of Divinity to them."

"It was Sandy," Felic said. "He retrieved the Blood of Divinity from the Perpetual Icefield, but it was me who sent the Lurkers back to the swamp and then infused them with the Blood of Divinity, which I did while I was fetching medicine for the teacher. It wasn’t much trouble."

"Alright, I understand," Pannis nodded. "I still have a few more questions about them. Do you know the exact location of their headquarters? Not looking for precise information, even a guess will do."

"Not certain, I’ve never been there. They’re very cautious; they wouldn’t let us know, and we don’t need to know." Victor shook his head and said, "But if I had to guess, I’d guess the Forest of Death. When we trade materials with them, they often choose spots on the edge of the Perpetual Icefield, which probably means they come from the Forest of Death and take a detour. The only territories connecting to the Perpetual Icefield are the Forest of Death, Whispering Swamp, and our Butte. They previously mentioned they couldn’t enter the Whispering Swamp, which is why they asked me to capture the Marsh Stalker for them, so it’s unlikely they’re hiding in the swamp. As for our place, it’s impossible for the Mage’s surveillance not to detect them. Therefore, it’s probably the Forest of Death."

"Of course, it’s not out of the question that they chose the Perpetual Icefield to misdirect us from their true headquarters," Felic added. "But from my experience, they don’t really need to. Our cooperation is mutually beneficial and quite pleasant for both parties. Moreover, they’ve said that after their god’s resurrection, what they’re going to do is tantamount to making enemies of all deities in the Yarran World, so they also need allies like our god who can accept their existence. Hence, there’s no need for them to deceive us."

"Yes, I can accept what they’re about to do. Among all the deities, I’m probably the only one who can accept it," Victor nodded. "And that’s precisely why our cooperation is unreserved."

"Do you know what they’re about to do?" Pannis asked, squinting his eyes. "Can you tell us? Is it about resurrecting Danacus again?"

"Resurrecting? No, not quite," Victor said slowly. "Danacus has already been resurrected, Mr. Kyle. Don’t you understand yet, or are you still holding out hope? The fact that you’re still alive means that Danacus is still alive. If he were to fall again, you would have already died."

"Because of the Death Curse?" Pannis didn’t show any surprise as he calmly asked, "The Reversed Death Curse functions on his Divine Power. If he falls, his power would dissipate, and I would die too. Is that what you mean?"

"See? You know it very well," Victor said slowly. "Therefore, they believe Danacus is merely sleeping, which is why he can’t respond to their prayers or absorb the strength of their sacrifices. What they’re about to do is reopen Death’s Gate, re-establishing the connection between the two worlds and releasing the Undead from behind Death’s Gate. The innate hatred of the living within the Undead will create mass slaughter, and the resulting Power of Death will awaken Danacus from his slumber."

"And after he awakens?" Catherine pressed on. "Danacus won’t show mercy, and the billions of Undead released will engulf the world, destroying everything in the Yarran World, including your Butte Plateau."

"What does that have to do with us?" Victor tilted his head slightly, asking calmly in return: "I don’t need ordinary people as followers to provide faith; I just need those who believe in me as assistants in the pursuit of knowledge, and that’s enough. And these assistants, naturally, I will take with me into my Divine Kingdom. Even if the Yarran World were truly destroyed, it wouldn’t affect us, right?"

"But you’re not yet a deity; you’re still a human," Catherine said gravely. "Haven’t you considered what would happen if you failed? And even if you succeed, Master Filas, I don’t believe, would be of your faith. You can’t possibly bring him into your Divine Kingdom. Are you going to just watch him die at the hands of frenzied Undead?"

"This is a very lengthy process, and the teacher is too old to wait for that day," Victor said unflinchingly, "Unless through our experiments, the teacher can gain enough experience to see through the secrets of time, it is unlikely that he will live to see the day of the Undead invasion. Moreover, even if such a day did come to pass, it is inevitable. We have repeatedly told you that nothing is beyond sacrifice, including ourselves, and naturally also the teacher. In the pursuit of knowledge, we are willing to exchange everything we have for just one second, including our humanity and lives. We believe that the teacher thinks the same, as we can tell from his past teachings."

"There’s no use continuing this, Catherine. With the determination in their hearts, you will not be able to persuade them, just as you cannot accept their views," Pannis said to the knight girl, shaking his head and sighing, "Victor, about the news of the Divine Servant, is there anything else you can tell us?"

"For the demigods, their ghouls are insignificant," Victor slowly said, "However, they did mention that they have cultivated a magical beast force, ready to be sent to the Winged People Mountain Range to test its effectiveness. Although they didn’t elaborate, I believe that what they’re referring to as a magical beast force must be a group of demigod magical beasts. If the force contains a significant number of magical beasts, it will likely be difficult to deal with, and they may even undergo Undead Transformation, after all, that is their specialty."

"Huh, so the abnormal surge of magical beasts in the Winged People Mountain Range was their doing after all? The number is indeed large, and they’re just sacrificial pawns used for testing purposes," Pannis sighed and said, "Although I had a premonition, I still thank you for your information. As for now..."

Victor shifted his arm from supporting his chin and straightened up his body, locking eyes with Pannis, he said, "As for now, it’s time we talk about the issue between us, right?"

"Yes," Pannis said with a faint smile, speaking softly, "No matter how long the exchange takes, the issue that needs to be resolved will always be there. It cannot be postponed indefinitely."

"So, how do you plan to resolve it?" The magical energy around Victor began to surge violently, and the power of the elements nearly burst forth from his eyes. Merely the mana carried by his gaze caused the air to resound with faint explosive sounds, "Or rather, how do you plan to sabotage our plans?"

"For centuries, battles between demigods have been rare, as demigods are too scarce. Moreover, when demigods fight each other with all their might, life and death are hard to predict, often decided in an instant. Even when one seems far stronger than the other, with the aid of the Inherent Psychic Domain, the outcome could still be reversed. Hence, demigods do not engage in a life and death battle unless absolutely necessary," Pannis lowered his head to look at his clenched right fist, speaking softly, "But have you ever thought, why then was I called the strongest human, and why even Arrogant beings like master Philarx never opposed this title?"

"I’ve also asked the teacher, but he never gave an answer," Victor’s expression remaining impassive, he asked, "What is the answer, then?"

"Because, back in the day when I wasn’t relying on a Domain, or when I simply couldn’t use one, I had fought life-and-death battles with two demigods." The gleam in Pannis’s eyes was as sharp as a blade, but it wasn’t focused on Victor’s face, instead, it was on the ground. No energy fluctuations of Aggression were present around him, as if he was just an ordinary person standing there, "By chance, when the Domains shattered, both times, it was me who walked out alive."

"So, you plan to make me your third prey?" During their conversation, the energy around Victor increased in intensity, with sparks of energy-formed lightning flickering in the air. Nevertheless, Victor maintained his seated position on the Divine Throne, slowly saying, "Since the disagreements between us are so vast and neither side can persuade the other, then we have only life and blood to judge our rights and wrongs. The teacher once said that you are very powerful and also mentioned to Felic that you are now very difficult to kill. In fact, the more the teacher said this, the more I wanted to try. However, now our lives probably belong not just to ourselves. Whichever of us wins or loses, it will affect the lives of 740,000 people in Fiery City. Or do you naively think that killing me will solve all the crises?"

"That’s exactly what I think," Pannis sneered, "The fact that the Divine Servant’s people came to you with this Array, instead of seeking other dying demigods, shows that the Array can be used only by someone who knows Time magic. Otherwise, they could have used it as bait to recruit more powerhouses. So, without your control, these Arrays are meaningless."

"Have you forgotten?" Victor actually laughed, shaking his head, "All those experiments that you’ve discovered many times, I never participated in a single one. They were completed by others."
