Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Is she feeling disappointed because she was unable to kill the Oracle…
Roland did not know whether to console her or roll his eyes. Any ordinary person’s first reaction should have been joy, having survived a battle against an invulnerable entity. Yet Fei Yuhan was stuck in brooding over her failure, it had to be said that a genius’s thinking was always different from the common person.
The higher-ups quickly came to a consensus.
Information regarding both the Battle of Divine Will and the two worlds were classified as top secret information. The higher-ups of the Martialist Association deemed that before the Erosion crisis was resolved, all content related to either were banned from being leaked to prevent unnecessary panic.
As for Roland’s background and identity, the Martialist Association took it one step at a time. If they went according to Fei Yuhan’s account, his importance was even above that of the President of the Association. But the decision was not one that Prism City could make on their own; it required Sky City and the other branches of the association to have a common discussion and consensus. This process was estimated to take a long period of time.
But to not interfere with the battle against the Erosion, Prism City was to provide their full support to facilitate Roland to the best of their abilities.
After their agreement on the fundamentals, the discussion in the hall moved into details regarding the actual support.
Roland simply waited quietly for the results.
Roland walked out of the hall with Fei Yuhan and stumbled upon Valkries waiting outside for him.
Her gaze stopped at Roland after staring at the two for a while. “I wish to talk to you alone.”
Fei Yuhan smiled. “I’ll make a move first, Zero is still sleeping in the ward.”
After her departure, Roland followed Valkries to the courtyard behind the building.
Although it was winter, the courtyard still had an abundance of greenery. The lawn around the stone slabs had unmelted snow on them with sharp green grass poking out, as though reminding the people that the cold season was nearing its end, and it was time to welcome the new year.
If it was a stroll, Valkries had definitely chosen a good location. But her motive in inviting him over was obviously not to admire the scenery.
“What do you want to say?” Roland broke the silence. “You realized you’ve made the wrong mistake and decided to trust me?”
“No, I am still unable to trust you.” Valkries shook her head. “The future of our races depends on the outcome of the Battle of Divine Will. I cannot make a decision without verifying the situation first.”
“You have seen it for yourself, the Oracle was trying to stop me from seeking the truth—It might not mean anything, but doesn’t that imply that we are in the right direction? Even if I had fabricated the outcome on the Western Front, the incident with the Oracle can’t be something I deliberately arrange, right?”
“Yes, I have to admit that you’re right,” Valkries answered calmly. “But my opinion won’t change.”
Annoyed, Roland stopped abruptly. “You are helping the Gods destroy your own civilization.”
“There’s no point criticizing me when there’s an imbalance of information. Regardless, the Dream World and reality are separated by the Realm of Mind.” Valkries turned around. “If you were me, will you be able to set your resolve and cooperate with enemies that you have fought against for thousands of years? Besides, the only thing I can get is a verbal promise.”
Roland opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn’t say the word “yes.”
After a long while, Roland finally sighed. “If that’s the case, then we have nothing to talk about.”
“I will not make a decision without verifying the situation first, but—” Valkries paused, “If it can be verified, I will reconsider your suggestion.”
