Chapters Chapter 226: Stories of Old (pt. 2) (2/2)
“It’s obviously the latter. She said herself that she was shocked when she met us. Do you honestly think that she believed this prophecy in the first place?”
It was shocking how Kang Chul-In could figure this out so quickly.
Just like what Kang Chul-In had said, Circe didn’t look very enthusiastic.
She was under the nuance that she was moving due to her personal curiosity, rather than following the prophecy.
“No?”
But it seemed as if Circe didn’t agree with Kang Chul-In’s opinion.
“There’s one thing left, don’t you think so? Reincarnation of the Emperor of Blood and Iron.”
“What, are you planning on fighting me?”
Kang Chul-In stared at Circe, a fierce expression on his face.
“Of course not.”
But Circe shook her head.
“I don’t want to fight.”
“Makes sense. Well then, what’s that remaining thing to do, Witch Circe?”
Kang Chul-In asked.
“Hmm… Are you sure I can say it here?”
“What?”
“It’s your biggest secret.”
“Go ahead.”
Kang Chul-In was confident.
His biggest secret was the authority that he had gotten in his previous life as an Overlord, the Soul Backup.
And because of the fact that it wasn’t him returning to the past but data and information of him living in the future coming to him, this was something that no one could guess.
“You... you lived twice.”
A terrifying secret was spilled by Circe.
***
In the deepest place of the Bifrost territory, a meeting was going on.
“...What I’m saying...”
Albrecht Vilhelm emphasized his words.
“Is that in order to survive that terrifying monster Overlord Kang Chul-In, we have to cooperate.”
-I completely agree, Overlord Albrecht.
His ally and brother-in-law, Overlord Ao Xin, immediately agreed.
-I also agree!
-Me too! It’s better like this, than being taken over by Kang Chul-In at some point anyway!
-I also think that creating an alliance is better than being taken down one by one.”
All of the Lords of the Gulveig Region that was in the North of Pangaea agreed to what Overlord Vilhelm was saying.
As expected of the 2nd Ranked Overlord, Albrecht Vilhelm had a formidable army.
And because he was close allies with his brother-in-law Overlord Ao Xin, there weren’t many Lords that dared to disagree or speak against him.
-I…
At that moment, someone opened their mouth.
Everyone’s gaze headed towards that Lord, or more accurately, that Overlord.
Why?
Because this was the true vampire, Andrei Ivanovic, of the 10 Overlords.
-Even though I agree with what you think, it’ll be difficult for me to really help you right now.
This response was something that Ao Xin and Albrecht Vilhelm didn’t want.
In times like this, if a high-ranked Overlord like Andrei Ivanovic agreed with them, they would be able to create a huge alliance that even Kang Chul-In would have to fear.
“Overlord Andrei Ivanovic.”
But despite this, Vilhelm didn’t show the slightest bit of discontent and instead smiled.
“I respect your opinion. My aim is for peaceful co-existence and survival. If we can be safe from that monster’s grasp, I am happy to get even the smallest bit of help from you.”
-Well then, that’s fine.
At this, Andrei Ivanovic also nodded.
That damned vampiric bastard…
Invisible sparks flew between the two Overlords.
-I am speaking on behalf of Lord Peter Clemenza.
At that moment...
-Our Paramount territory will not be joining this alliance.
One asian man spoke, and the atmosphere began to freeze up.
***
Kang Chul-In’s expression froze.
You… you lived twice… twice… twice...
Circe’s words echoed in Kang Chul-In’s mind.
What did this mean?
Was this like James Bond in the 1967 movie, ‘You Only Live Twice’?
“You want me to continue? You want me to make you know what this means?”
Circe continued to speak, walking closer towards Kang Chul-In.
“Stop there.”
The Ninetails moved in between Kang Chul-In and Circe.
“There’s no reason to fear, Ninetails. I’m not planning to attack your man or to charm him. If I had to charm someone, he’s more of my style.”
Circe said, pointing.
“Interesting though… living twice?”
Kang Chul-In said.
-Soul Backup... that’s your greatest secret, isn’t it?
-In other words… returning to the past.
At this, Kang Chul-In stopped the urge to swing Kaiforce onto Circe.
