Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela slightly turned their face, the corner of their eye sweeping over that automaton.

"Remind me once more, Antitikesara person——in your field of view, where do these two roads lead respectively?"

Laigushi nodded: "You have the right to understand, that Savior from beyond the heavens is not utterly wicked. However, from the very beginning, her stance has been utterly different from that of Ongfalros."

"Their chosen path will bury Ongfalros's grand ambition: this world walking the path of 'Destruction' will inevitably stray from the glory it ought to enjoy… and on the path I reveal to you: the beings of Ongfalros shall, in the name of Caesar, slay the Creator God and conquer all realms beyond."

"You will command the beast known as the Iron Tomb, bringing great war tide and conquest to the universe—all beings of the universe will bow before your throne, submitting to you."

Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela did not turn back, merely asking lightly: "Then... what is the price?"

"The price is trivial. One need only sacrifice that fragile, incomplete humanity in 'Destruction'—as a golden heir in the divine oracle, you have already decided to abandon it, haven't you?"

"Hah..." Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela let out a light laugh, "Step back, divine audience. I already have a plan in mind."

She lifted her gaze toward the towering KefaLe; that silent deity, even if it stood heaven-high, could not break the shackles of the firmament.

"Wait for me to ignite the spark of law, to burn away the old, rotten rules…… then Ongfalros will be able to embark on a conquest spanning the stars."

"Packaging the Iron Tomb as a beast that can be 'commanded', with no mention of the destruction of 'wisdom', nor of the far-reaching disaster it would bring to the cosmos. If it weren't for the star still being able to expose its danger face-to-face in Ongfalros, it would really have let him get away with it."

"Heh... what a splendid performance."

Wei'erwei leaned against the soft sofa, watching Laigushi's respectful stance on the firmament, and couldn't help but clap their hands.

"However, although each of its words sounds deceptive to us, upon reflection they are not wrong at all. For a queen yearning to direct her conquest toward the sea of stars, Laigushi's promise is undoubtedly very tempting." Eden gently shook the wine cup in her hand, her gaze through the deep-red liquid gradually turning cold: "... it still excels at playing this trick."

"Wait, wait... Eden, will Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela really believe Laigushi's nonsense at that time?" Padou exclaimed in fear.

"Hard to say, Padou, this is also what I worry about most." Eden forced out a faint smile: "I don't think Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela will harm the star; but once the authority of the 'Law' tilts toward Laigushi, the ultimate agreement can be declared invalid. A Fire Pursuit Journey with Laigushi's interference... I can't imagine the star having any chance of success."

"Ahhh, wise Caesar must discern who is loyal and who is treacherous! This kind of non-human creature is the most suspicious!!" Padou was so anxious that the hairs on her ears stood up, almost rolling on the ground.

"Padou, is Gear Gum also an automaton? Don't deny all automatons just because of Laigushi." Wei'erwei's smile deepened: "Being able to create such an envoy as the Iron Tomb, mastering the relevant knowledge of creating Star Gods, having clashed with Bolka Kakamu and survived... I'm growing ever more curious which genius in the club it is."

Luo Xiaohei War Chronicle.

"Senior Sister, will we also be conquered?"

Xiaohei raised their head, blinking their big eyes at Luoye.

Luoye stood beside the Infinite, arms crossed, lowered their head to glance at Xiaohei: 'What we are discussing today is precisely this problem.'

Inside the Spirit Demon Hall, several elders gathered, discussing various matters concerning the demon clan and the soon-to-be-born Iron Tomb.

"Hmph, what's there to discuss?"

Chinian slammed the teacup heavily onto the table, face full of disdain: 'Let the Iron Tomb be born, what does it have to do with our demon clan? We haven't not seen it in the Yaoguang divinations; that thing only pollutes technology! Our demon clan doesn't rely on it.'

Saying this, his face instead showed a hint of joy: 'Rather, if the Iron Tomb could set back human technology, that would actually be a good thing for our demon clan. As long as their technology stops advancing, we can continue to suppress them and reclaim the space belonging to our demon clan. This is called…… "Drive the Tiger to Swallow the Wolf"!'

"Hah... 'Drive the Tiger to Swallow the Wolf'?"

Luoye let out a cold snort, the corner of their mouth curling with a sarcastic arc: 'Are you sure this isn't "Inviting the Wolf In" or "Scheming with the Tiger for its Skin"?'

"Bang——!"

Chinian angrily slapped the table with a palm, making the teacup jump: 'What do you mean by that?'

"Enough, Chinian."

The hall master, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up to stop him, brows furrowed, gaze sweeping over the gnashing, resentful Chinian: 'Your idea is too extreme; facing this extraterrestrial threat of the Iron Tomb, if we continue to think of using it to suppress humanity, it is very likely that we ourselves will be the ones to perish.'

"How could that be? The Iron Tomb only works on human technology, it won't affect our demon clan."

"Can you guarantee that?" Ximuzhi lightly shook their folding fan, the pair of eyes that were usually half-lidded suddenly flashing with sharpness.

"Huh? Guarantee what?"

"Guarantee that the Iron Tomb poses no threat to our demon clan."

Chinian let out a cold snort: 'How could that possibly be guaranteed?'

"That's it; for us, the Iron Tomb is mostly 'unknown'. We cannot just assume it only threatens technology because it showed a threat to technology in the Yaoguang divinations. As the Great Lord of Annihilation, it might well have other unknown means it hasn't yet employed."

""That Caesar is really overbearing… not giving us any chance to ask questions.""

"Upon arriving outside the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace, Xilian and the star began to review their recent discussion with Caesar."

""Moreover, she is clearly hiding something. Star, what do you think?""

""We ought to consult the geniuses about the current situation.""

""Indeed, you think the same." Xilian looked around, gazing at the crowd coming and going outside the heavenly palace: "The atmosphere in Aohema… feels so strange. Not only the Fire Pursuit Alliance, but the whole city up and down is discussing the 'world beyond the heavens'…… we should also discuss our gains with friends from beyond the heavens. Next…… huh?""

Xilian's expression changed abruptly, but quickly returned to normal.

""Next, we should go enjoy the renowned bathing culture of the holy city, relax properly! On this journey, what everyone has been looking forward to most is this!""
