Chapter 457 We need a Mediator.

“…”

Satisfied with having finally touched the sensitive chord of the three, Alvine scrapes his throat and explains himself without worrying about their strange expressions, for lack of a better word to describe them.

“First, she provided information about our forces to the enemies.

-Secondly, she allowed a woman, named Nelpheim, to take control over her body and to kidnap Isolet. If she hadn’t come to meet me and just sent me a message, none of this would have happened.

-Her confrontation with Nelpheim who used the appearance of my monarch here had generated doubt in her mind. This doubt, pampered by the flames of rage, in turn, influenced her decision to come to meet me without question. So far, everything is fine.

-But a sin, no, instead of talking about sin, let’s say rather her naivety led her to believe that her enemies had tried to deceive her to push her to take me as an enemy. This strategy is not complicated to thwart, you just had to think twice in a row to see that something smells shit here; it was too simple not to say stupid.

-So, I ask you all once again, was she a puppet or a naive who thought she was the goddess of wisdom?” He asks them with an ironic smile while contemplating the expressions of others with amusement.

At that moment, no one had enough bravery to cross his eyes. The most fun for him was to see Askald holding his breath with a green face as if he were disgusted with his own person.

“Finally, it no longer matters, we can’t redo the past, it will bring us more problems than fulfillment. This woman implanted part of her consciousness in Tifania’s mind, assuming that she would come to meet me to seek explanations.

-As she predicted, Tifania came to me, so she accomplished her first goal by measuring my strength at that time. I guess she didn’t attack me because she didn’t consider me a threat, it’s her first mistake.

-By forgetting the kidnapping of Isolet, we managed to purify our ranks of any spies. This is the second and biggest mistake of their shares. Thinking about it, we didn’t really lose much. But I no longer want to see you make such errors of judgment, it’s unworthy of my subordinate; do you understand me, Askald?”

He made this warning in a fierce voice.

“I apologize, my Lo–

“These are not excuses that I want. Your confidence in your judgments can sometimes play you bad tricks.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm “Yes, I would try to remember it.” The current Askald had nothing to do with the man he was, but quite the opposite.

He looked more like a boy who was lectured by his mentor; even if Alvine’s current appearance ruined everything.

“Sigh, it’s good that you become aware of this defect which can become a weakness. In the immediate future, let’s talk about important things.” He then looks at Azalea with a sneaky smile when he sees the latter just as embarrassed as the other two.

“I’m rather interested in this mysterious one that is roughly named COD. And besides, I don’t think Nelpheim used the same nickname that this entity is due to chance.” He puts forward this bold hypothesis while caressing his egg chin (without a beard).

“Huh? Do you believe that Nelpheim is actually the person who subjected us to this tragic fate!?” Azalea asks this question in a growling tone with wild eyes.

“I didn’t say anything that way, Azalea. And stop losing your cold blood when it comes to your revenge, by focusing on these flames, they can end up burning you; I know what I’m talking about.” This time, it was Azalea’s turn to be lectured by Alvine.

“I…-

Not knowing what to say, she was silent.

“What I mean is that Nelpheim is probably on good terms with this mysterious man.”

“A man?” Askald asks.

“Yes, that’s how Azalea presented it, if I’m not mistaken. Anyway, Nelpheim may be strong, but it is not enough to disturb my judgment, I only knew it after reaching my current rank. This means that she had an ally at the same rank as me or maybe more.”

-!!

“Calm your ardors, even if everything suggests that they have a hidden ally as a master card., nothing is yet certain, I just ask you to keep this in mind.” He immediately explained himself when he noticed the surprise and panic of others about his intuition.

“To finish with Azalea’s story, I can roughly guess the rest without too much trouble. This COD reappeared in front of your queen and marked her with this seal that is your crystals, am I wrong?”

Beyond being surprised, Azalea no longer seemed to be so surprised by Alvine’s insight after hearing his hypotheses.

“Yes, even if you abbreviated it, it’s not false.” She Nods.

“But I don’t understand why he targeted you, in my memories, you were not the only ones to commit such misdeeds, I think I would be his first target if his goal was to eradicate all evil.”

Askald gave a grandiose smile. “You therefore accept your role of absolute evil.”

“Shit up, Askald; this is not the time.”

“TSS~, you only show your authority when it doesn’t suit you. Finally, I agree with you on this point.” He retorts while crossing his arms and backing himself on the back of his chair always with the same teasing smile.

“By ignoring some eccentric people who play the scientist despite their terrible failures, I think I am entitled to a satisfactory answer from one of his colleagues, am I wrong?” Alvine ignored Askald and sneakily smiled at Azalea.

The evidence for everyone was his disproportionate sarcasm, which was more painful than a pious sunk right into the heart of a vampire.

“Ahem.” Azalea scrapes her throat and forces a kind smile towards Alvine.

“To answer your question, we have no idea why this bastard targeted us. All he had said was that we had deviated from the path he had traced for us; hence his punishment, which he considered a form of clemency.”

“…A clemency, huh? And why does he talk about deviance? Does he take himself for someone who balances the universal balance?” Alvine mutters as if he were thinking out loud.

“Yes, that was what he said. In fact, I think he intended to eradicate us at first, but for some reason, he changed his approach by obstructing us with an ultimate spell.

-As for how he did it, the old texts only talk about it vaguely. But if I have to explain the overall idea, he talks about him as…-

“Like your creator.” Alvine finishes her sentence in her place.

Azalea frowns, dissatisfied to see Alvine steal her role as narratress. “Yes, that’s the impression he gives. But as far as I know, no one knows how the beings before and during the era of the gods were born; hence our nicknames of gods.” She blocked her story with these sentences.

“…”

Everyone remains on the lookout, after listening to all her story.

One minute, the time it took Alvine to put his thoughts in order. Usually insightful, it was surprising to see him taking so much time to process information that is considered only as drops of water on the scale of a river by comparing it with all the knowledge and knowledge that is encompassed in his mind.

Sighing with bliss, both satisfied to know the mystery behind the curse of the Crystaluses and to learn of the existence of a possible enemy just in time, he finally opens his eyes.

“After listening to your story from beginning to end, and comparing them to mine, I think I have understood a lot of things. But since ´it is only an intuition, I prefer to keep it to myself as long as I get more clues or concrete evidence.” It was his way of making his conclusion.

He then looks at Askald. “Let’s now talk about the reason for this little meeting that was not supposed to take so much time at the start.”

Askald immediately gets up from his chair with a fierce air to answer his master’s unanimous question. “I’m afraid that the war will last longer than we imagine.”

“…Any arguments?” Alvine’s frown is accentuated following Askald’s direct assertions.

“Yes; at first I thought we had to divide our troops into several small squads with generals from different dimensions as leaders. But this may not be the right thing to do. Il–

“You’re going too fast at work, Askald.” Alvine cut him off.

“Look around you, both are confused, you have to start from the beginning, even if it won’t save us more time.” He indexes Azalea and Tifania so that Askald sees what he sees.

Indeed, the latter does not take long to raise his eyebrows when he sees their expressions.

“And there is more important, we need a mediator.” He adds without changing his expression.

“… A what?” Azalea had the impression of seeing her world collapse around her following Alvine’s proposal.

“You heard me well. I have, no, to prevent the universe from completely falling down, we need a neutral organization or entity with power capable of competing with ours, to establish rules, decide the places of confrontations, etc.

-Think carefully, it’s a more delicate situation than you can imagine. If our two sides clash without restraint and respite, the world as we know will no longer be, and the great destruction that almost occurred twice, will not be a failure.

-Because, unlike the two previous great wars that ended before and during the era of the gods, this war opposes only two camps. The others will just arrange to stand alongside the most privileged.”

“…This is a reasoning that holds the road. But where are we going to find such power?” Azalea asks the question that burns everyone’s lips following Alvine’s explanations.

The latter had an apathetic smile going from one ear to the other.
