Chapter 1140 - A Message Spanning Over 65 Million Years (3) (2/2)
But not everyone agreed with her.
The Country of Light agreed with her. It was apparent that the angels were concerned that the strange incidents weren’t just accidents and were some kind of a bad omen. If they were to open up the passageway from the Door of Akasha in this risky situation, no one knew what would happen. Moreover, the other side was still being threatened by Chaos. If Chaos were to slip into their world through the passageway, it definitely wouldn’t be an optimistic scene.
On the other hand, the Dark Dragon’s representative rejected firmly and provided ample reasons. It was due to the current unclear situation that they should open the passageway all the more. As soon as the five Creator Dragons got here, the problems wouldn’t be relevant anymore.
The twin dragons’ representatives didn’t provide any opinion. Just like their master, they would support the party that was more convincing.
But this time, the meeting fizzled out as Marybelle and the Dark Dragon’s representative both made sense. Besides, there were also flaws in both their suggestions. Even though Marybelle’s idea was reliable, the best solution was to hand the situation over to the Creator Dragons before it ended up beyond what she could handle. On the other hand, there were also some issues with Dark Dragon’s representative’s suggestion because no one could confirm what would happen after activating the Door of Akasha. If some unknown enemies were to enter through the door and cause great suffering to the Dragon Soul Continent, the so-called retreat would basically be a worthless piece of paper.
But Rhode could see that Marybelle apparently predicted this response. She would rather not open the Door of Akasha. Even if her troops were sacrificed entirely, she wasn’t willing to witness unknown threats wreaking havoc in the Dragon Soul Continent, unless she was able to determine who they were. Up until this point in time, Rhode didn’t know if Marybelle’s choice was right or wrong. After all, if she had opened the Door of Akasha back then, perhaps Earth wouldn’t have an indigenous civilization now…
Days passed and the scenes flashed by before Rhode. He couldn’t find any useful clues. Even though Marybelle conducted investigations several times herself, there was no development to what happened around the Door of Akasha that night. Same went for the elite troops who disappeared as though they had vanished entirely from this world.
But not only was Marybelle not feeling assured, but she also became increasingly worried. She felt like this peacefulness was a sign of danger that was arriving. She raised her guard and stopped patrols from leaving faraway from the sacred palace.
And the danger erupted without any signs.
At the time of the countdown of 50 days for the Door of Akasha opening, Marybelle received news that contact was lost with the Dark Dragon’s representative’s campsite!
This news shook everyone.
This time, even the twin dragons’ representative joined in the discussion as to whether they should activate the Door of Akasha. This was because the other four representatives were similar in strength and Marybelle was the strongest. And now, they had lost contact with the Dark Dragon’s representative all of a sudden and this raised their guard.
This time. Marybelle quickly gave an order for everyone to move into the Void Palace, at the same time requesting the remaining three representatives to head to the Dark Dragon’s camp to conduct investigations. This, time the three representatives had no hesitation at all. They executed Marybelle’s orders and transferred everyone into the Void Palace. Fortunately, as only elites were here, the palace was able to contain all of them.
The situation became critical.
Shortly after, Rhode witnessed a bright flash. Then, he realized he was standing in a spacious meeting hall. In the middle, Marybelle and the three representatives were having an urgent discussion. Two of them were white elves clad in robes who were apparently the subordinates of the twin dragons. On the other side, a battle angel donned in armor listened to their words sternly.
“I think we need to change our plan since we have lost the support of the Dark Dragon. I think we may be facing an enemy we have not seen before. No matter what, we need to be more careful in our actions.”
“But Your Highness Marybelle, the timing to activate the Door of Akasha is approaching. I think we should seize the opportunity to open it and let the majesties resolve this critical issue. We didn’t manage to come up with any conclusion after long investigations, but the enemies are apparently closing in. I think the situation may be out of our grasp.”
One of the white elves knitted her brows and said in uncertainty. Facing her rebuttal, Marybelle pondered in silence and shook her head.
“We can’t risk it. What if the enemies attack us after we activate the Door of Akasha? Since they were capable of assassinating our companions, I think in this predicament, our situation may not be anywhere better than theirs. If we forcefully activate the Door of Akasha, we can’t be sure of when the enemies will strike. Perhaps this will bring forth more unprecedented threats!”
“But I think…”
Before the white elf completed her sentence, ear-deafening explosions boomed all of a sudden.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The palace shook and loud explosions disrupted their meeting. They exchanged stern looks with one another, spotting the uncertainties in their eyes. At the same time, the locked doors burst open and a flustered soldier rushed into the meeting hall.
“Reporting, Your Highness Marybelle. We’re under attack!”
