Eight Gods' Realm Headquarters.
Dark Celestial Star.
Selwyn withdrew his Divine Power avatar, pondered for a moment, and then emitted a mental wave.
A moment later, a black-armored figure from the Ancient Hall of Dark Magic appeared like a ghost, standing in the center of the hall with his arms crossed, looking at Selwyn.
"What's up?"
The loud voice echoed throughout the hall, showing no respect and displaying a rather arrogant air.
Selwyn didn't care about the black-armored figure's attitude. He had already vaguely guessed the person's identity. He simply pointed, and pale Divine Power transformed into a projection screen, displaying Lancelot's two battles.
The battle scene displayed on the left side of the screen shows Lancelot being ambushed by two Middle God, Azure Thunder Darian and Water Demon Lord Kanerxi, but managing to escape with the strength of Lower God.
The projection screen on the right shows the battle that just happened, in which Lancelot suddenly erupted and captured Darian alive.
"The time difference between these two battles is no more than ten years," Selwyn emphasized after the footage finished playing.
Then, he waved his hand again, sending the detailed information he had about Lancelot to the black-armored figure.
The latter finished browsing quickly.
"Genius, an absolute genius!"
The figure in black armor exclaimed excitedly, appearing quite disoriented, as if he had seen some rare and precious treasure.
Seeing this, a smile flashed in Selwyn's eyes. He thought to himself, "I was right. The more talented someone is, the more likely they are to be targeted by the Ancient Hall of Dark Magic. I just wonder, what are they collecting so many powerful individuals and geniuses for? Is it really to sell them as slaves? Or for magical research?"
After pondering for a moment, still without a definite answer, Selwyn smiled and said, "I suppose you are quite satisfied with this prey?"
"Hmm, very good. I didn't expect such a genius to emerge from such a remote universe. That guy who created the Divine Kingdom is hard to capture for now, but this one can be our number one target!"
The black-armored figure stared intently at the frozen image of Lancelot on the projection, like a hungry wolf eyeing a plump and delicious sheep.
"I'm glad you're satisfied." Selwyn smiled, then changed the subject, saying, "However, capturing this person won't be easy. He possesses the combat strength of True God Tier Six, and he's incredibly elusive, always lingering around the Golden Divine Kingdom line..."
"Hmph, of course I understand what you're saying. Don't worry, since I dare to covet him, I'm confident I can take him down."
The figure in black armor spoke with great confidence.
Selwyn's eyes narrowed, and he put on a smile of great interest, asking, "Does Your Excellency have any methods you could share?"
The black-armored figure glanced at Selwyn, then, without hiding anything, said, "I will apply for a nine-star Rare- quality teleportation scroll. Once the scroll arrives, as long as I lock onto Lancelot's aura, I can instantly descend. With my True God Tier Eight combat power, I can definitely defeat and capture him quickly by surprise!"
"A nine-star Rare quality spatial scroll?" Selwyn's eyes narrowed for a moment, then he recovered and flattered, "As expected of the renowned Ancient Hall of Dark Magic, this kind of treasure would probably be worth the same as an ordinary Upper God Artifact on the market, yet you can apply for it so easily. It's true that it's good to have powerful backers."
"Of course, my Ancient Hall of Dark Magic is a powerful force that can rival the Adrian Federation. We have as many nine-star scrolls as we want," the black-armored figure said proudly.
In reality, what he didn't tell Selwyn was that even the Ancient Hall of Dark Magic wouldn't casually grant a nine-star Rare quality spatial scroll, especially one with a fixed-point teleportation function, if it weren't for capturing a genius like Lancelot.
No matter how large or powerful a business is, it can't be squandered; otherwise, it won't last.
Any major power, regardless of whether it is evil or benevolent, must be meticulous in its calculations if it wants to survive in the long run. The more resources are wasted, the bigger the loopholes in the system will be.
If something can be accomplished with one unit of resources, it will never require two. This is the style of a qualified major power.
Selwyn certainly knew how to operate a force, and he could naturally tell that the black-armored figure was exaggerating, but he didn't expose him. Instead, he flattered the latter. Otherwise, how could he use someone else to do his dirty work?
Just as the Eight Gods' Realm was undergoing various changes due to Lancelot's capture of Darian.
Meanwhile, with Lancelot's return, the Alpha Alliance Army erupted in jubilation upon seeing Darian, who was imprisoned on the earthen planet.
Near the Golden Divine Kingdom.
The land is bathed in a gentle golden light, where earth, stone, and stars are temporarily housed.
Because of their proximity, Logo can mobilize the power of the Golden Divine Kingdom, and the primordial radiation will make the suppression effect on the earthen planet even more stable.
Inside the planet, Darian, unable to move, felt yet another constraint placed upon him, and his despair deepened.
What made him even more upset and humiliated was that more and more powerful allied forces appeared around him to watch.
One by one, the True God appeared.
With Lancelot's permission, their gaze could pierce through the thick earth and see Darian, who was enveloped and bound by the star core, tightly bound by the four fundamental forces, and suppressed by the power of the Golden Divine Kingdom.
The scene before them amazed the True God, who then proceeded to make numerous sarcastic remarks.
However, at the same time, it also made them truly realize Lancelot's current combat power and the Golden Divine Kingdom's powerful overall strength, which made them feel awe.
The Divine Kingdom's defenses were already formidable, making it difficult even for Upper God to breach.
Add to that a True God Tier Six with exceptional mobility, and their Intimidation power is off the charts.
Based on these two factors alone, the Golden Divine Kingdom can be considered the most powerful armed organization in the Alpha Universe Cluster.
In terms of civilization, its overall strength ranks in the upper-middle range.
"It seems we'll need to reassess the status of the Golden Divine Kingdom from now on."
"We must be on good terms with the Golden Divine Kingdom; I can almost see the rise of the next Eight Gods' Realm."
"Putting everything else aside, I'll be impressed if you can capture Darian alive!"
The True God were discussing it amongst themselves.
During this process, the prestige of the Golden Divine Kingdom also steadily increased.
After Lancelot spoke with these True God briefly, he entered the Divine Kingdom.
at the same time.
The Alpha Civilization's mother plane.
Military headquarters.
In order to resist the invasion of the Eight Gods' Realm, the Alpha Civilization specially allocated resources to form a new organization called "Aegis Bureau." All members of the staff actually belong to this organization and are all elite members of the Alpha Civilization military.
At this very moment, inside the Aegis Bureau., in the director's office, the highest- Aegis Bureau Fulaite, sat upright, with a row of subordinates standing in front of him.
Some of these subordinates came in their real bodies, some were manifestations of power, and some were simply projections, such as the Chief of Staff of the Allied Forces.
Fulaite had just finished reviewing the work reports submitted by his subordinates, and his expression was not very pleasant.
"Across the entire universe, there are hundreds of armed groups, yet less than half have joined the coalition. How have you been doing your job?"
"Our side has numerous armed groups, each with its own agenda, and we are already in a state of disarray. If we are outnumbered by the Eight Gods' Realm, there is no way we can achieve victory."
"During this period, the allied forces have suffered repeated defeats on multiple fronts. What do you expect me to explain to His Majesty the Führer?"
