Chapter 697 - 641: The Rising MoonStar (1) (1/2)
One month prior to Arthur's meeting with his two clones, the reverberating news about what happened to the White Specter Clan reached Arthur and Lucy's ears.
The two stayed at Green-Leaf for some time and tried to find a way to Astria. The one who relayed these shocking news to them was none other than Isadore, the king of Green-Leaf.
The blond youth sat opposite of the couple, his back straight and showing no fear of hesitation as he talked. Right behind him stood Wrath and Dan, one was a deadly sin and the other one an eccentric yet strong Overgod.
”Right after the execution of Angelina Album Larva, there was a big explosion which razed the Imperial Capital to the ground. The number of casualties is incalculable and the damage the Cloud Sea Sect suffered will surely bring them down from the throne. Very soon, the struggle for power will start again.”
While Arthur remained oddly silent, Lucy frowned and asked,
”So, the White Specter Clan was massacred? What about the Matriarch?”
”There's been no sightings of her ever since the war between you two…”
Isadore sighed and looked at Lucy, who neither griefed nor cried for the loss of her relatives. In truth, Lucy wasn't sad but she did feel a bit bitter as not every person belonging to the White Specter Clan deserved to die. Nevertheless, she isn't going out of her way to exact revenge as there were much more pressing needs.
”What do you two intend to do?”
Isadore asked the couple, who both looked at him with unreadable expressions.
”I'm more curious about what you expect us to do, Your Majesty.”
Arthur coldly smiled at the youth, who lightly coughed then forced a laugh.
”I assume you still haven't found a way to Astria, right?”
”What do you think?” retorted Arthur, who stole a couple of glances at Taliya.
The demon was still wearing the maid uniform and though she became Isadore's advisor, she dutifully stood behind the parasite, clearly showing where her loyalty lays.
After a short bout of awkward silence, Isadore spoke again
”Haven't the Kang Clan contacted you yet?”
”I don't they will. They must be busy making moves in the Divine Planet.”
Hearing this, Isadore shook his head and explained,
”For them, Astria is far more valuable than supremacy on the Divine Planet.”
”Your Majesty, what about you?”
Arthur glanced at Wrath, who glared back at him, and mockingly said,
”I think you can easily secure a spot in the Divine Planet.”
”Nah, that's unnecessary. Lending you a hand takes precedence over anything else.”
The parasite laughed and retorted,
”You slick bastard. I'm quite fond of you.”
”Hahaha likewise likewise!”
The two laughed while gazing at each other, both knowing what's going inside the other's head.

Later that day, Arthur sat down with Lucy, Robin, Rey, Sonia, Delia and her sister, Saly, and, last but not least, the newcomer, Edward Ortberg, who took this world by storm.
