Chapter 1460 - Under the Mask (1/2)

“This is all because of Hackzord’s betrayal! Your Majesty, please permit me to slaughter him!”

Within the Presiding Holy Sea, Blood Conqueror roared in anger. From the blue veins popping out of his forehead and the steam spewing out of his mouth, anyone could tell that he was genuinely furious.

The other senior lords had gloomy expressions as well.

Only Nassaupelle remained expressionless; he even felt a little amused.

Truly a bunch of fools.

He had clearly warned them before. It was a pity that aside from Undeserved, the other senior lords were skeptical about Silent Disaster’s and Sky Lord’s collusion and attack on him. Even after Mask revealed his memories to the King, all the senior lords merely suppressed their doubts. They likely believed that Mask had somehow crossed them.

Just because he looked like an assembled “monster.”

In the end, even before they could hear Hackzord and Serakkas’ explanation, the human’s “Deity of Gods” appeared.

But wasn’t it already too late to pin the blame on the traitors by then?

“The problem is, do you know where they are?” Undeserved remained unfazed by Blood Conqueror’s anger. “Currently, Hackzord might be hiding in any corner within the ridge of the continent, and our citizens of Sky City might have been compelled by him. Without investing a large force into this, we will not be able to find any traces of a senior lord like him. Furthermore…” He stared at the other party coldly. “Even if you find Hackzord, don’t forget that Serakkas is by his side. At that point, who knows who will be the one getting killed.”

“You—!” If they weren’t in the Presiding Holy Sea, Blood Conqueror would have already taken action.

“Your Majesty, I don’t understand this…” A fleshy body squirmed and spoke up.“Did the humans truly find some sort of evidence regarding the Divine Will? Otherwise, with Sky Lord’s character, how can he ever side the humans—”

“With all that they have done, are you still guessing about the reason for their betrayal?” Mask interrupted him. “Regardless of the reason, Hackzord had plenty of opportunities to report to the King. But what happened? Since leaving the Western Front, heading to the Bottomless Land and colluding with Silent Disaster, he never sought to communicate with King City from the beginning to the end! This is obviously a betrayal that had been in the planning! If I hadn’t gained a breakthrough in my abilities, I would had died at Serakkas hands!”

The other senior lords were dumbstruck.

It was a piece of memory extracted from Mask and could not be faked, while Hackzord’s wandering activities had been sighted by scouts in the northern extremity of the Land of Dawn. Regardless of how one looked at it, it was not one of a panicked and hurried decision.

That’s right, just like that… Nassaupelle smiled. Memories could not be faked, but parts could be erased and orders shifted. Mask chose to conceal clues of Valkries, and everything he reported to the King were tampered.

Reality proved that he had taken a wise choice. If the other senior lords discovered the reason for the betrayal involved Valkries’s whereabouts, the situation would have become more complicated.

In that sense, the obtaining of the human’s legacy might be delayed even further.

He did not want to waste anymore time.
