Chapter 213: An Invitation-2

"No, King Vaelor hasn’t chosen any side — King Vaelor can travel across worlds and bring back things you couldn’t even dream of!"

"Other worlds?! Do you mean other lands, like the ones the four ancient races traveled to, or is it something else!" everyone was puzzled by this term Orion had brought up and looked at him in confusion.

"No, the lands the four ancient races went to are still within this world!" Orion raised his hand and used the Law of Formation to display a blue sphere made of light, surrounded by numerous glowing points representing stars, and used it to explain what he had learned from Vaelor...

"Worlds are gigantic masses that hold life on their surface, and the universe is vast, far greater than you could imagine!" Orion spread his hands, widening the distance between them, and several more luminous bodies representing planets appeared.

"The universe contains countless numbers of planets, and an uncountable number of creatures. There are numbers beyond imagination of kingdoms like ours, and there are empires that rule an entire world, and there are empires that rule whole worlds, and there is something even greater — empires that rule thousands of worlds, and the number of such empires is by no means small!"

Everyone listened and looked at Orion in astonishment, like children listening to a legend, but among them was someone overtaken by doubt, who furrowed his brows and asked "you speak of countless universes, an unimaginable number of creatures, and many empires, each with thousands of worlds like ours — do you take us for ignorant children, or what!" one of the ministers shouted, looking at Orion with contempt, and waved his hand "if you’re telling the truth, what’s your proof of this!"

Orion looked at that person and furrowed his brows, a touch of anger stirring in him at the tone he’d been addressed with.

"You there, the only reason you received King Vaelor’s mercy in being invited to him is because of your connection to me, otherwise you would have been dealt with like the rest of the kingdoms. And I came to you today as the King’s First Guardian, not as this kingdom’s Crown Prince, so this is the last time I’ll warn you to treat me with respect!"

Orion’s aura gradually rose, and the tattoos on his body lit up intensely in a deep crimson light, and quickly ten gigantic tattoos emerged from his body...

A dragon, a lion, an eagle, a tiger, a crocodile, a snake, a gorilla, a bull, a wolf, a deer.

The ten beast manifestations stood behind Orion like gigantic phantoms, and quickly imposed their aura and presence upon the throne hall with overwhelming force, exerting tremendous pressure on everyone present!

Upon seeing these ten beasts, Valeria too smiled, unwilling to simply stand by with folded arms while Orion showed off, so she also drew out her Fifth Level scepter and tapped it on the ground!

BOOOOM!

A muffled ringing sound resounded, and energy suddenly burst forth behind Valeria, drawing everyone’s attention, their eyes widening even further in astonishment at what appeared!

Ten fire dragons appeared behind Valeria, their aura slightly weaker than Orion’s, but not by much.

Previously, before breaking through to the Fourth Level, Valeria could barely produce two Third Level dragons, but now, having reached the Fourth Level and with the Law of Formation having become part of her, it was easy for her to produce ten dragons with the strength of an ordinary person at the start of the Fourth Level, and it was clear that any one of these dragons would be a match for most people in the hall!

Twenty beasts, brimming with life, floated behind Orion and Valeria, causing immense pressure throughout the hall, and Valeria’s eyes gleamed as she smiled, holding her scepter in one hand while placing the other behind her back...

"Gentlemen, I hope you’ll watch your words the next time you speak with the First Guardian, for even as we’re having this discussion, our armies in other regions are crushing kingdoms and wiping them out completely. And as the First Guardian said before, you wouldn’t be enjoying this opportunity if it weren’t for your connection to him, so I hope you’ll cherish it!" Valeria spoke calmly, but her words reached everyone clearly.

"Are you threatening us, girl! Has your king’s and your own vileness and tyranny reached such a point that you’d attack your own kin? The Sacred Tree of Cradle would never have done such a thing, or allowed it, were it still around!" the old elf who had scolded Orion before turned to Valeria and shouted at her!

In the face of this shouting, Valeria remained smiling and narrowed her eyes slightly, then waved her hand, and the ten dragons behind her began to break apart and merge together, and after a few moments they gathered into a single larger dragon, with a greater aura and a more solid body, clearly stronger than any one of Orion’s beasts. Then it tilted its head and carried Valeria atop it, and she looked down at that person from above...

"Take my words however you like, but there’s one point you should pay attention to!" Valeria looked at that person with clear condescension, her killing intent fully evident and unhidden...

"And yes, we will attack our own kin if it’s required. We obey King Vaelor, not the unity of race — where were you when our cities and homes were being destroyed, where were you when our families were being killed and made homeless, we didn’t hear a whisper from you or see a single action!" Valeria’s words grew angrier with every word spoken, and her killing intent grew along with them!

"King Vaelor’s kingdom doesn’t include the elves alone, and isn’t bound by any city or race, and we have had the honor of being his first followers. And because of your closeness to the First Guardian, you were offered the chance to be the second kingdom to follow him, but I don’t even see you trying to seize it!" Valeria said mockingly, and the ministers’ veins bulged with rage, but she paid them no mind and continued....

"As for the Sacred Tree of Cradle, if it’s truly alive as you claim, at best it will attain the rank of servant among His Majesty Vaelor’s subjects, and that will be an honor for it!" Valeria spoke without regard for what was held sacred, and her words shocked them even further!

"Enough!"
