"Increase our defenses and double the guards patrolling. There must not be any mishap in security!" The Head of the Nimel Clan exclaimed.
Surprisingly, in the room, every influential person of the Domain was present that Lucifer had seen in the welcoming party. Raayi and Ron were also in the room.
Despite Ron not being a part of the Nimel Clan, he was the heir of another Overlord Clan and it was clear that his clan was provided the same information as them. The Nimel Clan head didn't care about his presence. If anything, it was good since it meant two Overlord Clans were getting closer.
"Your Majesty, why so suddenly? Does it have something to do with the Generals leaving in such a hurry last time?" One of the Ministers asked.
"Partially," Raayi's father modded. "My father left in such a hurry because something big had happened. An powerful enemy has returned and his Target should be the entire universe!"
"Someone that can even make the Star Alliance worry? If he is really that strong, can we really stop him based on our strength alone?"
"Yeah. Shouldn't Ancestor Nimel be here, protecting this place. If the enemy is really as strong as you claim, won't this world be destroyed if he comes here?"
Almost everyone was worried about the possibility of death since they all took this threat seriously. This was their home. If this was destroyed, they had no place to go.
"He is working with other Generals to catch that person to make sure that person can't harm them. If every General went back to their world, could that person even be captured?" The Head of Clan rolled his eyes.
"I don't want you to panic, but according to the reports, a few Generals fell for this person's trap and they are already dead. We aren't facing an ordinary enemy. I don't think even my father would be able to stop him alone!"
Even though he didn't want to scare his clan members, he couldn't lie to them either. The situation for now was really bad and no one was allowed to underestimate the threat. That's why, he told everyone the truth.
Everyone in the hall went silent, surprised to know that a few Generals were already dead. They all thought that by few, their Head of Clan meant two. Raayi's father also intentionally didn't tell the exact number since he didn't want to scare these people more than they already were.
There was a difference between scaring them enough so they didn't underestimate the enemy and scaring them to the extent that they lost all hope and surrendered before the fight even started. To avoid the latter, he was vague about how many Generals were dead. n(-1n
"Just do your duty and guard the parameters. We don't have to defeat that person. We just have to find that person and hold him back for a few minutes until the Star Alliance reinforcements come with all the Generals. That way, we could defeat the enemy! But if we can't hold him back, or can't even detect him, we'll be as good as dead. I'm sure you all understand the gravity of the situation!"
"That's why I tell you to increase the defenses. No matter what, we must do everything we can to help the Star Alliance. I think the enemy won't come here since there are a few other worlds between our World and the place where he was last seen, but I want you to work as if his next Target is us! You understand?!"
The Head of Nimel Clan also hoped that the situation could be solved by the Star Alliance before things got to the extreme point where their survival was on the line, but that was only his hope.
The meeting was over after Raayi's father assigned everyone an area to guard. All the Ministers left the Royal Hall at the end of the meeting.
Ron and Raayi also left the hall while the Head of the Clan went back to his room to rest. His headache was increasing the more he thought about the situation they were in. Ever since the Ancient Clan was destroyed, they had never faced a situation this extreme.
"Just one person from the Ancient Clan can scare the Star Alliance so much. No wonder it took all the forces of the world to work together to destroy the Clan." He sighed as he walked back, wondering if the world was coming into a full circle. The universal forces had destroyed the Ancient Clan and now the Ancient Clan was trying to destroy them.
"You're out!" Ron exclaimed, surprised to find Lucifer outside.
"Did something happen? What was this meeting about?" Lucifer already heard everything, but he still pretended to be ignorant about it all.
Ron explained everything to Lucifer, including how the forces were divided in three and one of those was sent to the world of Baltics, only to die there.
"Oh, by the way General Rasin is dead. I don't think you'll need to worry about him killing you. The sword that was hanging above your head had been destroyed already."
Lucifer didn't know how to react. He already knew what happened since that person died right before his eyes. He was happy that Rasin Clan Ancestor was dead which weakened their influence in the Star Alliance, but he also couldn't express his happiness. He had to play his part.
"That's not good. At a time like this, we need all the help we can to stop the enemy. What a loss for the Star Alliance..." Lucifer lowered his head, pretending to sigh.
"You really are special, aren't you? Even with all the bad blood between you and General Rasin, you still think about the well-being of this world above everything! As especially of my brother!" Ron placed his head on the shoulders of the man, laughing proudly.
"Don't worry. I heard that this guy used some once in a millennia treasure and a trap to kill the Generals," Raayi chimed in. "That only means he isn't strong enough now. The Star Alliance should be able to take him down easily as soon as we find him now. All this increasing security is just a precaution."
"Once in a millennia treasure?" Lucifer frowned. Did the Star Alliance come up with that explanation to justify the death of so many people at once?
'If that's the case, then it only helps me. They made my work easier for me. With the explanation of a treasure, the threat level should
be much lower foe me.'
