Chapter 993: The Day When The Sky Fell [Part 2]


    ?


    "Ethan, the best case scenario is for this war not to happen," King Austen said. "That way, there will be no mothers and fathers weeping the death of their children. There will also be no children who will be orphans after their parents die fighting in this war.


    "Since we can solve this issue without bloodshed, I believe we should pursue this option as well."


    The Elven Queen and the Wood Fairy Queen also nodded in agreement.


    The Dwarven King, who was usually hot-tempered, didn''t voice out anyints in settling this matter peacefully.


    As for Seff, he only wanted to fight the Chieftain. If his people didn''t need to die then, as their King, he wouldn''t bring them to their deaths.


    Ethan, who could sense everyone''s willingness to talk things out, no longer said any provoking words.


    "Then tell me, what will you do after finding your King?" Ethan asked. "Please don''t tell me that all of you will peacefully go back to where you all came from after that task is done, right?"


    "Of course not," Caddor answered. "But we will no longer trouble the Shire Continent after this."


    "I see, so you''re basically telling me that after you''ve found your King, you''ll just conquer the Kingdoms of Midgard and let us off the hook, right?" Ethan sneered. "You sure know how to crack a joke."


    If the Fomorians did indeed wage war on the Kingdoms of Midgard after finding their King, Ethan would feel guilty because it would feel like he quietly watched everything happen and even condoned it.


    Since Caer Wydion and the Lands of stor were within the domain of Midgard, this meant that the mes of war would also spread to those ces.


    Ethan would never allow such a thing to happen under his watch.


    The Rulers of the Shire Continent feltplicated because they also realized what the Fomorians would do after they got what they wanted.


    However, since Midgard was a continent far away from them, it was hard to empathize with people whom they had never met in their lives.


    Ethan could understand what the leaders were thinking and knew that they were willing topromise.


    However, Lia Fail was in the possession of his cousin, Chloe, who was also his lover.


    She had formed a connection with it, which was also why she had distanced herself from Ethan-to keep her maidenhood, which was a necessity for safekeeping the Stone of Destiny.


    Just like how the Cauldron of Dagda was soul bound to Princess Ariel, the Stone of Destiny was also soul bound to Chloe.


    Only she would be able to use the power of the stone that had the power to determine the rightful King of each race.


    If the Kings agreed, if Ethan didn''t agree to it, then nothing could be done.


    No one knew where the Stone of Destiny was currently at, with the exception of a select few whom Chloe trusted with her life.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The young man remained silent and allowed the Leaders and the Fomorian Kings to discuss their conditions.


    At most, if things really becameplicated, he would just take the Stone of Destiny and lock it up in Antis.


    Although Leviathan, the Progenitor of the Sea, didn''t wish to participate in worldly affairs, he was duty bound to protect Antis.


    With a Progenitor guarding the Ancient City, the Fomorians wouldn''t dare to approach it easily.


    Besides, Antis could hide anywhere in the open seas.


    Finding it would be extremely difficult unless it wanted others to find it.


    But just as everyone was about toe to an agreement, they all heard a loud crack resounding from above their heads.


    Baradiel, who was standing on the surface of the water, smiled faintly because she already knew what was going to happen next.


    Cracks had formed on the skies, taking everyone by surprise, with the exception of a select few individuals who had already seen it happen in the past.


    Ethan and Godfrey, who had seen something simr happen at World''s End, immediately became vignt.


    King Arawn, who also wasn''t ignorant of such things, unsheathed his de from his scabbard. "Caddor, make the ships in the sky descend while there''s still time!" King Arawn ordered.


    Caddor, who had known the King of Annwn for a long time, understood that this was not a time to ask questions.


    Using his power, he forcefully made the Flying Ships, who were high up in the sky descend to the sea.


    "Your Majesties, please tell everyone to prepare for battle!" Ethan dered.


    "Ethan, what is happening?" Seff asked.


    Seeing the young man''s reaction, the Beast King could tell that he knew what was happening right above their heads.


    "Otherworld Creatures from other nes of existence have breached the defenses of our world," Ethan said as the cracks in the sky spread into a wide area, and pieces of the sky started falling to the ground.


    These pieces vaporized into nothingness halfway through their fall, and only darkness could be seen in the ces where they had falled off.


    "I''ll call a truce for now," Ethan said to the Fomorian Chieftains. "Prepare to fight the invaders from another world."


    As soon as he finished talking, countless flying insects the size of cars and buses poured through the holes in the sky.


    Their screeches made the hairs of those who heard them stand on end, the sight of these horrendous beasts that came from the shattered sky made them grimace.


    Baradiel didn''t n to interfere with this battle and simply disappeared without a trace.


    The Progenitors had already decided from the start that regardless of whether the Defenders of the Shire Continent and the Fomorians really fought against each other or not, they would make them see the real enemies whom they should be pointing their swords at.


    The time hade for the people of the world to know the existence of the Otherworlders, whom the Guardians of the Lands of Saraqael had been fighting on a regr basis.


    They were certain that after seeing these greedy, grotesque, and malevolent beings, the people of the world would understand that a greater threat existed beyond their wildest


    dreams.


    *****


    At World''s End...


    The Progenitors, who were drinking wine and watching the battle unfold, all had smiles on


    their faces.


    "Whoever thought of this idea is a true genius!" Ashmedai said. "I''d love to give him a pat on


    the back."


    The other Progenitors looked at the handsome Incubus in disdain.


    Ashmedai was the one who hade up with this idea, so hearing him call himself a genius made everyone want to spit on him.


    However, they ignored his nonsense and simply focused on the battle that was about to start.


    They knew how strong these monsters were.


    But they believed that the Champions of the world, like Ethan, Seff, King Arawn, Godfrey, and the Fomorian Chieftains, would be able to deal with these monsters.


    If not, then that meant that they had greatly underestimated their strength, which would


    result in massive casualties on both sides.


    Still, they believed that they made the right choice.


    Even enemies would stand together as one when facing outside threats who hade


    uninvited to their world.
