447 Demons and Devas Unite (1/2)
Of course, besides the horrendous gap between every level of the Legendary God Rank, another reason for the Divine Flame Lord's inability to contend with Talroth was the gap in Laws. As a Light Embodiment, even at the same cultivation level, Talroth would forever remain leagues above the Divine Flame Lord who merely was a Fire Embodiment.
And even that was a machination of the Realm Wills which since their creation, geared the Primogens toward certain paths. With that one move, Talroth gave irresistible validation to his words, and brought both the willing and the unwilling to his side.
”Agni, please restrain yourself. As for you, Talroth, though you've spoken many truths and raised salient points, there is no need to act in such an overbearing fashion. We may no longer have the Great Primal Ancestor, but around this table, those able to contend with you are more than one.”
Bhumi, the Divine Earth Lady and Yaksha Primogen mediated. Her words forced a grumble of dissatisfaction out of Agni's mouth, but he made no further comment. Talroth, however, only went on.
”Thanks for reminding me, beautiful. I'd almost forgotten. True, you Devas no longer have Sakra, but we still have Dolgron. Therefore, we're no longer truly equal. Impressive, I must say, that you worked so hard to cut off your strongest leg just for the sake of slaughtering babies and pleasing the Realm Wills.
Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to hold onto the Dual Cultivation King title with such ease. You have my thanks.”
Talroth countered with a polite bow, and this time, from the Cardinal Lords to the Divine Lords, there wasn't one able to maintain a straight face. Surya, more than the others, glowered with blazing rage, and it seemed battle could break out at any time. The Great Primal Ancestor, Lord Sakra, was to the Devas what Dolgron was to the Demons. The number one Primogen, and sole peak-stage Legendary God.
In fact, with his Truth Wielding and Sun Embodiment, he was a step above the Asura Primogen, Dolgron. But following his daughter's and Marduk's breach, and the birth of the nephilim twins, only his self-destruction as an apology to Heaven and Hell's Will managed to quell the disturbance.
Although Surya inherited his cultivation, laws and Primogen Blood, it was, after all, an inheritance. Unlike his father, he remained stranded at the late-stage of the Legendary God Rank, unable to break through to the peak.
Now, if not for the balance between the Overlord and the Warden, the Celestial Realm would have long since fallen to demonic invasions. This was well known to be a thorn of the Deva Gods, and a taboo subject. However, Talroth addressed the subject with a perverse candor.
Demons carried the imprint of the foul. Thus, none would support the weaker Deva side, and many burst into laughter. Even Dolgron made no pacifying comment. Sakra was his rival of a lifetime. Although following his acquisition of Truth Wielding, Sakra surpassed him, he'd remained his respected foe. To see him perish not from battle but in forced suicide had left a sour taste in the Asura Primogen's mouth.
But though the Devas boiled, Talroth could see his goal of breeding resentment toward the Realm Wills achieved. Therefore, he no longer stirred past wounds.
”Be that as it may, instead of debating actions against what we can't affect, I believe the war with the Titan Domain is a more pressing matter. On this table, me aside, there is not one person that didn't participate in that war and the murder of the Third God of War, Rajan Samal.
