431 Temple Girl Part 1 (1/2)
”How long do we have?”
Yvonne directly asked. And hearing this, Konrad shook his head.
”That depends on several factors. Once we leave the Chthonian Realm, as long as she's aware of it, Blood Nether will spare no effort to track us. Although our Devil Bridge can elude her sight, her attention alone is a ghastly problem.
Moon and Cloud are not pressing issues, but if he manages to break the shackles of his heart demons, Night will become one.”
Konrad began in a measured tone while Yvonne leaned on his right shoulder and Else on the left. His sober drinking carried on unimpeded, and he pursued:
”As for Regretless, that's hard to say. Though his disposition possesses glaring flaws, the fact of the matter is that Regretless is the most outstanding talent of the Omniverse. Were it not for his flawed heart, he would have undoubtedly succeeded in becoming the Almighty Supreme.
Heart Demons can trap him, but counting on them to destroy him is a pipe dream. At best, a few centuries, at worst, a few thousand years. But regardless of how long it takes, he will return. And to be frank, I can't say with certainty that he won't come back stronger.”
Konrad explained, and naturally, such words rang with pictures of future calamities. However, the ladies' faces showed no ripple.
”As for Celestial Slaughter, only Regretless and his folks know the exact time, but the day will be the very instant of his past death. That, I know. For now, the best strategy is to build the strongest force we can here while I carry on a complete integration of the Realm. Once I accomplish that, the Chthonian Realm will fuse with me, and follow us wherever we go. The strength of an entire Realm will be a formidable boon in future battles.
Next, I want to retrieve the God Executing Immortal Sword. The people of the Three Realms see it as a mere, nine-stars God Artifact. I can't blame them, for only I possess the ability to unleash its True Might. Although that alone won't be enough, it will undoubtedly become one of our most reliable cards.”
Konrad rationalized, causing the dup to nod in approval.
”Very well, you seem well prepared. Now the only thing we can do is…cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate some more. Even if our odds don't seem promising, we shall turn into the 0.0001% variable even Fate can't control.”
Yvonne replied, and hearing this, Konrad burst into a peal of brash laughter.
”Hahaha! Beloved, this is my era, and none can thwart it. Regretless? Celestial Slaughter? I accept all challenges and shall squash them through all means at my disposal.
At the end of it all, only I, Konrad, shall remain standing as the sole Immortal Sovereign. And when that day comes, you will be by my side to enjoy this glory, throughout eternity.”
Konrad pledged while pulling their head against his, dazzling smiles curved their lips.
”That is natural. If we do not stand by your side, who will?”
Else chimed in and Konrad had nothing else to say. And at that time, Wolfgang's voice echoed.
”Your majesty, the Chthonian Realm is pacified. Feel free to transform it as you see fit. I've also prepared an interesting gift for you.”
Hearing this, Konrad arched his eyebrows.
”Oh? A gift? How considerate of you. If it's as interesting as you claim, I will multiply your rewards. But if it's not, off with your head.”
