Chapter 259 - XXIX Refugees (1/2)
On the next day, Elijah was preparing to leave when the tree-colored bird and the lion stopped him.
”Oh, we forgot to tell you to be careful when you advance. Me and my friend spotted a pretty suspicious person heading in the same direction.”
”I remember too! That winged-person, there was really something like this. It was a one, two, three...”
The lion interrupted his friend, his tone was a little tired. ”It happened seven days ago.”
”Seven days ago...” Elijah pondered. It was probable the cosmic heart has realized his intentions by now and sent some of his forces to interrupt me.
”I see. It is time for me to depart.” Hanging his hammer on his waist, Elijah stored everything back into his phone and left while leaving a few gifts to the two divine beasts.
”Ell, should we make a plan first? It seems we will have a hard battle when we arrive there.”
”I know.”
....
Void Territory ten kilometers above the sky in the surroundings of Eternia.
Countless dark points, in the tens of millions approached from far away advancing on small villages and cities from both sky and land, surrounding the region around the void territory cities.
The situation was really bad, with the prime beasts surrounding the cities, it cut off most of the essential supplies for the refugees who needed it, it had been more than three days since the last group of refugees had arrived and they most believe it would be impossible with the huge numbers of beasts in the border of the territory and cities.
With both the main universe and the celestial world facing the long awaited calamity, gods, immortals and saints all over the place turned to their former enemy, the eight royal families of the abyss.
In the center of Eternia, a huge spatial gate leading to one of the main worlds in the abyss, Astaris, and a gigantic flood of people headed into the gate as the void clan's tenth and eleventh-step experts guided those who needed into the gate. The huge amount of people led by two peak tenth-realm experts on land, the caravan was full of cultivators and the relatives of celestial beings who were being evacuated to the abyss.
On top of the void palace's tower at the highest point of the city, Yawen, Cassie, Aina and the others were watching everything from above.
”Things are looking pretty bad.” Cassie held little Elliot in her arms who happily chewed on a large cheese bread Yawen had the kitchen bake for him. Feeling the melancholic atmosphere in the room, mainly from Yawen and Aina.
Sarina, Yawen's other body had left the celestial world and went to the base Elijah and she prepared in the Ancestral Spirit Cosmic Realm to check on Elijah's parents and those they sent there for protection.
”Mom, Aina, you two shouldn't be standing like this. I sure that old geezer is fine, he has more than a couple hundred years of experience together with what he inherited from the origin race. He has become much more than the naive child from before.”
”I fully understand. My worries are something else.” Yawen kept silent, she wasn't worried about Elijah. If what they knew was right, then it could be said this war's end had long been written. What bothered her was how high the price for victory be.
Suddenly a servant of the family opened the door from where a small group of six entered the room.
”Your highness, the forces of your fiance, the trinity society has arrived.” Said the servant in the front while the other ten behind her saluted Yawen with reverence. They were the greatest experts of Elijah's Trinity Society, the devil emperor and the kings Elijah purified. Since the purification, both the Devil Lord and her subordinates had changed, becoming deities. And knowing their master's relation with this princess who was the same person as that golden-haired beauty they met before, all of them sighed with admiration for their master.
”Ma'am, we all heard about the current situation and we decided to come here and help.” The leader of the group of ten, a six-armed woman dressed in heavy armor knelt down.
Yawen turned around to see their faces, then she turned to the leader after inspecting the others behind her. ”May I know the amount of forces you managed to bring with you?”
”Yes! Other than a small unit of six minor gods we left to protect our people, there are seventy origin masters with cultivation comparable to the peak of the eight realms, but they easily face those on the ninth-realm and ninth-realm peak, a seventeen fake immortals which have all refined their own origins. Seven minor gods and true immortals, two great immortals and one higher god which is me.
