This was—memory extraction!

The only difference was instead of exposing their memories to the King in the Presiding Holy Sea, it was Hackzord voluntarily sharing his memory to him!

Silent Disaster accepted the connection after a long while.

Memories were difficult to be faked and far more precise than a recount. But at the same time, it had its shortcomings, that was the ease of accessing other memories aside from the ‘main scenes.’ Silent Disaster did not expect Sky Lord to bare open his memories without any defenses to relay the information.

“You—”

“There is no need to speak further.” Hackzord’s voice was downcast, his actions obviously having exhausted himself. “If I didn’t do this, will you even believe everything that I’ve been through?”

The answer was undoubtedly a no.

A source of magic power that came in the form of an island actually existed near the Blackstone region. Even after going through Hackzord’s memories, Silent Disaster still found it somewhat surreal.

“You’re able to form your own Realm of Mind domain?” Silent Disaster changed the topic.

Hackzord looked at him with distrust. “I thought you would be more concerned over Valkries’s location. But you’re right… if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t be able to transfer my memory to you. When I saw the tree of light, my understanding towards the Realm of Mind suddenly deepened—if not for the interruption by the Sky-sea Realm, I might have taken a step deeper. Of course… Compared to the King’s Presiding Holy Sea, my domain is far smaller.”

“I see.” Silent Disaster sat back in the pool with his back facing Sky Lord. “Indeed, I yearn to know of Nightmare Lord’s whereabouts. Even after ‘seeing’ that piece of paper, I so badly want to look for her in the human kingdom, but my rationality is telling me to refuse you.”

“Refuse… What?” Hackzord turned and glanced at the other party’s clean back and long blue hair.

“I rarely speak, but that does not mean I don’t think,” Silent Disaster replied. “Your goal was self-evident the moment you came to look for me first instead of reporting to the King. You wish to stop the Battle of Divine Will, or hope to find out the truth before making a decision. They undoubtedly violate the King’s decree, and no different from a betrayal. The King will not let you off once he knows of this. You can’t do it alone and require support. So you chose me to help you.”

“No, I am definitely loyal to the King!” Hackzord refuted with a whisper, “Since we know that the Battle of Divine Will is all a trap, why are we still throwing ourselves into it helplessly waiting for the destined doom to come? You think that the King will cling to his way obstinately? As long as I can think of a way to contact Valkries, the King will definitely understand what is the right choice, so…”

“No, I am definitely loyal to the King!” Hackzord refuted with a suppressed voice. “Since we know that the Battle of Divine Will is all a trap, why are we still throwing ourselves into it helplessly waiting for the destined doom to come? You think that the King will cling to his way obstinately? As long as I can think of a way to contact Valkries, the King will definitely understand what is the right choice, so…”

“Damn it, you saw everything?”

“Yes,” Silent Disaster admitted. “It was not intentional, but you can’t sieve and overlook memories like words. Ever since you left for the Bottomless Land, you already knew that the King will not agree with your actions.”

The entire Battle of Divine Will was a lie and the Realm of Mind contained an even deeper and darker secret, which did not conflict with the destruction of the humans and Sky-sea Realm. Assuming that the information on the paper was real, so long as the demons did not combine the legacy shards, the ‘upgrade’ would never occur, giving them the time to unravel the mystery. Regardless, dealing with anything related to the Divine Will by themselves was safer than leaving it in the hands of the enemy.

Of course, destroying the humans might lead to Nightmare Lord’s ultimate demise. But compared to the entire race, a senior lord was insignificant, even if it was Valkries. The King never allowed emotions to cloud his judgment, and everything he did was based on cold logic and rationality.

If they stopped the war, humanity might overcome the race’s advantage with their rate of development. This was something Ursrook had stressed and the King would never take the risk—Hackzord was definitely well aware of this.

“If it had been any ordinary time, I would have cut you down and prevent you from running to deliver you to the King for judgment.” Silent Disaster sighed. “But seeing that you did everything in hopes of saving Valkries, I will act as though I am unaware of anything.”

“Since you understand, shouldn’t you do something about it! Also—” Hackzord glanced towards Nightmare Lord’s body at the other side of the Red Mist Pond. “Your respect for Valkries is all a lie. Compared to her, your greater wish is to see an empty…”

BANG!

Silent Disaster punched the Red Mist Pond, causing a few cracks to appear in the rock foundation and also stopping Sky Lord from finishing his sentence.

“Firstly, your entire plan is built on a piece of paper of unknown origins; although it is definitely Valkries’s handwriting, that’s all.”
