Chapter 661: Prelude to Chaos: Echidnas Authority (2/2)

Kirin replied to Harjahar's su her head down Harjahar s to the crowd

"You all ained with a ritual only known to Echidna's Oni royalty Your existence as the children of Echidna will get altered when you follow through with that ritual"

Harjahar flashed an evil s up

"During the Oni festival, whoever pleases our God the most will have a chance to experience the Royal Rebirth I'll offer hter's hand to the person if and when the festival's chah the process"

Kirin was shocked after hearing that her father was planning to wed her to so He often referred to the original denizens of the Anfang as well as monsters born here as lowlives

No matter if the champion turns into an Oni royalty or not, Kirin didn't think her father's point of vieould change about the champion He'd still see him as someone that was born a lowlife His father's behavior had also shown Kirin that she wasn't as precious to hiht herself to be

'Is it because I'm not a pure-blooded Oni? Because I was born here?'

Kirin thought of this and pursed her lips in desolation She was conceived when her father had his ith an elf captive born here, who died after giving her birth She was born here and yet received clarity that belonged to the children of Echidna

A progeny between a monster and an elf shouldn't have existed Therefore, Kirin's birth was an anoht not repeat itself Her existence was special Her birth had doomed her to be seen as false Oni royalty in her father's eyes

Harjahar still treated Kirin as her daughter and gave her every support he could He awakened her clarity way early when she was sht her all the customs of Oni royalty as well as the culture of Echidna But there was a lack of fatherly love attached to that teaching

Still, since Harjahar had not completely abandoned her, Kirin had respect for his father She still believed in Oni royalty custo her father's sudden decision

"That's not all Since the champion would become an Oni royalty, they would be able to travel back to Echidna when the warp gates are opened

A neorld is waiting for those who are willing to put their lives on the line with all their heart and emotions poured into the festival Therefore, dare to take risks Don't hesitate to shed blood whether it's yours or soreatness of a culture Let reatness of Echidna with my own eyes while we are all still here"

Harjahar sat down on his seat and spoke He then allowed the tribe leaders tothe Oni festival under his presence Kirin disappeared froot back to dueling with her retainers afterward

Each tribe leader had an agenda Some tribe leaders were like Borul while others supported the Oni festival wholeheartedly Borul had hidden plans of his own to make this subspace completely free of Harjahar's control

However, even he or anybody couldn't have known that the biggest spoiler of the Oni event was about to enter the dungeon
