After heated discussion, Herzan made the final decision.
The dark gold spider eyes, like stars embedded in thick golden armor, carried a heavy sense of majesty.
"First, we must understand that if we want to utilize the power of the King of the Demonic Sea, Gustavo's survival is a prerequisite. Therefore, helping him solve his problems to the best of our ability is a precondition for executing the subsequent plans. Don't feel like you're losing out; the current investment is for a greater return. You should understand this."
After saying this, Herzan slightly, giving the other God Level Dragon-Hunting Spider time to process it.
After a brief pause, he continued, "Given Gustavo's current condition, his Fate- related talent could erupt at any moment and take his life. Therefore, we must act swiftly."
"I have decided to use Yilisham's proposed plan, in the name of our race, to request the apostles of the Northern Spirit Empire's Apostle of the God of Law to seal Gustavo's talent."
Upon hearing this, Yilisham's eyes lit up with surprise, and she quickly bowed her head to express her gratitude.
As Gustavo's great-great-grandmother, although the relationship was somewhat distant, that was before Gustavo demonstrated any value.
Once Gustavo proves her worth, even a great-great-grandmother can become a kind and amiable grandmother.
Given the kinship-based atmosphere within the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, it's easy to build rapport among them.
Therefore, after learning about the amazing and special nature of her direct descendant, Yilisham began to make plans for Gustavo.
Her proposed solution to the problem of Luck Deprivation is the safest, most reliable, and quickest, and it would also greatly benefit Gustavo himself.
In the Astral Realm, it is well known that high-ranking Transcendent Fate are difficult to deal with. However, everything in the universe has its counterpart, and even the most formidable mouse can find a cat to counter it.
The God of Law of the Northern Spirit Empire wields authority known as "Absolute Order," which is the nemesis of most Fate- based and some causality-based Transcendent.
In front of other Transcendent beings, the Fate -type Transcendent being is calm and aloof like a king. But if he encounters Apostle of the God of Law, he will immediately put on a constipated expression, as if he has encountered something dirty.
The Mitrola Clan belongs to the Eternity- level power "Primogenitor Mountain" and is subservient to the Lord of Nightmares, one of the nine Eternal.
Because the colossal beasts of the Primogenitor Mountain gathered together, containing the largest number of bloodline specimens in the entire Astral Realm, it naturally attracted the attention of spellcasters from the Adrian Federation and scientists from the Northern Spirit Empire.
To the giants, neither of these groups were good people; they were despicable poachers, and their relationship was definitely not good.
However, this is the collective will of the giant beasts of the Primogenitor Mountain. At the level of individual races, not all races are hostile to the two super civilizations.
The Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan had a fairly good impression of the Northern Spirit Empire.
This doesn't mean that the two hit it off.
Ultimately, it all comes down to self-interest.
The Dragon-Hunting Spider's mortal enemy is the True Dragon.
Whether it's the Divine Realm, the Metallic Dragon Clan led by the Platinum Dragon God, the Five-Colored Evil Dragons Clan also belonging to the Primogenitor Mountain and commanded by the Mother of Evil Dragons, or the True Dragon Empire led by the Mechanical Dragon Lord, their attitude towards the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan is always the same: to exterminate them as much as possible.
The great True Dragon Clan, the most perfect life forms in the Astral Realm, should have no natural enemies, especially those vile spiders that live in corners and crevices.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
In the Elven Plane, the Crimson Alliance, representing the technologically advanced civilization, and Dragon Island are mortal enemies, and there's a reason for that.
The True Dragon Clan is inherently at odds with forces focused on technology.
Although an anomaly like the Mechanical Dragon Lord later emerged, who, despite being True Dragon, actually became the strongest mechanical-type powerhouse, this only further exacerbated the conflict between the True Dragon Clan and the Northern Spirit Empire.
Unfortunately, there's no way to accommodate two super-civilizations on the path of material technology.
The Northern Spirit Empire could tolerate the True Dragon Empire as a peak Astral Realm civilization, but it could not stand by and watch the True Dragon Empire advance into the ranks of super civilizations, so it was bound to suppress it.
As a result, the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, which had once been suppressed to the point of near death by the rising True Dragon Empire, naturally came into the sights of the Northern Spirit Empire, and began to receive overt and covert support and wooing.
Then, an interesting scene unfolded.
The Primogenitor Mountain and the Northern Spirit Empire are in a state of hostility.
They belong to the Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan under the command of the Primogenitor Mountain, yet have an ambiguous relationship with the Northern Spirit Empire.
Even more bizarrely, the Primogenitor Mountain and the True Dragon Empire are actually in a semi-alliance relationship.
The Dragon-Hunting Spider Clan, however, is the mortal enemy of the True Dragon Empire.
It's completely a mess.
The intriguing diplomatic relations have created a delicate balance among the major powers.
Let's each do our own thing and not criticize each other. Whether we can defeat the other depends on our own methods.
This kind of ridiculously complex relationship diagram is actually quite common in the Astral Realm. There's no way around it; it all comes down to profit. People just turn a blind eye and make do. What else can they do?
Herzan agreed to Yilisham's plan because of this relationship. If this scenario were applied to other behemoth races, it would be unthinkable, let alone actually being implemented.
Looking around and seeing that none of his kinsmen objected, Herzan's eyes flashed with satisfaction. "Very good. Since no one has any objections, let's do it this way. Soon, a new wave of ' Chaos Tide ' will arrive, and many planes will be washed into the radiation range of the Treacherous Destruction Continent. At that time, conflict with the True Dragon Empire will be inevitable. The existence of the King of the Demonic Sea may very well allow us to catch those despicable reptiles off guard and usher in a great victory that will make our people cheer!"
As soon as the words "True Dragon Empire" were spoken, they immediately provoked the God Level Dragon-Hunting Spider present. Their pairs of pale green Pupil Light flashed back and forth like gamma rays. The Dragon-Hunting Spider, who were still dissatisfied with Yilisham's plan, finally dispelled their last bit of resistance.
No question, as long as we can kill those crawlers, any price is worth it!
In the midst of the enthusiastic atmosphere, Yilisham spoke again, dropping a bombshell that no one had expected.
"From what I've observed, Gustavo seems to have embarked on the path of the Devouring Faction. His ability to form a strange bond with the King of the Demonic Sea isn't entirely due to luck..."
With a flicker in her eyes, Yilisham uttered these words.
The languid, magnetic voice immediately attracted the attention of all the God Level Dragon-Hunting Spider.
Devouring Path?
Is it true or false?
A series of questioning gazes then turned towards them.
