Chapter 938 The Instructions
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
2 Days Later…The atmosphere in the imperial throne hall was tense yet filled with a sense of anticipation as the hundreds of people gathered, waiting for the Empress of the Nadur Empire, Kaali Adisesha, to speak.
As the female figure materialized, the entire room fell silent, awestruck by her imposing presence. She stood at an imposing height of 2 meters, radiating power and strength. The shimmering blue eyes and faint violet hair added an otherworldly beauty to her already majestic appearance.
In her god-like might, the Empress seemed almost untouchable, and those in her presence couldn't help but feel a mixture of awe and admiration. Her presence alone seemed to inspire worship and loyalty, and it was clear why she was the ruler of the Nadur Empire.
As the reigning ruler, Kaali's presence commanded respect and awe, and all eyes were fixed on her as she began to address the assembly that included the presence of all the Heavenly Kings and the entirety of the Hero's Party.
With an authoritative and majestic tone, Empress Kaali Adisesha spoke, her voice resonating with power and authority….
"I reckon all of you have been informed about where we are going and what your objectives are, right?" Her words carried the weight of expectation, and she looked expectantly at the members of the Hero's Party.
In unison, the members of the Hero's Party replied, "Yes, your imperial majesty."
Their voices echoed through the hall, a clear indication of their unity and readiness to fulfill her commands.
At this event, no one spoke openly about the battle that had taken place, and the memory of Atreus's overwhelming power and mercilessness hung in the air like a dark cloud. Many present felt a sense of terror and unease in his presence, uncertain of when he might explode with rage or unleash his devastating abilities.
Atreus had become an enigma, a ticking time bomb that no one dared to approach or provoke. The fear of facing his wrath and power kept many at a distance, and they would rather avoid being in the same room as him if they could.
Yet, despite the lingering fear and unease, the members of the Hero's Party had no choice but to be present in the throne hall.
Also, they had taken an oath to serve the imperial orders, especially for the Conclave of Heroes, as this was the primary reason for them becoming a member in the first place.
"Good. Tomorrow morning, I and the Heavenly King of Fire will be escorting you to the Sacred Isle where the Venerable Monk from the Temple of Termeszet will perform the ritual that will give all of you access to enter the Sacred Grounds of the Gods." she declared with a plain emotion, yet her voice carried absolute authority.
"Once we enter… Make sure to stay quiet and not cause any trouble or get into fights with any of the other Heroes and their Party Members.
Your main objective is to reach the Holy Site, Hesperides." she gave them their next instructions.
"This time, things will be tense and everyone will be extremely vigilant since Hero of Darkness and the rumored Cult of Darkborne might finally make their appearance.
Although the Abyss Empire no longer exists, there's no guarantee that the Cult of Darkborne doesn't have their own means to be present at the Conclave of Heroes." she revealed in a stern voice.
The Heavenly Kings also revealed a serious countenance.
"And due to the pact between the Gods, we won't be able to hunt or kill him when he does… at least not until he exits after completing his main task.
And given his history, he might target Maximus just like he did with Hero of Fire and Hero of Nature as we believe that he is following the same path as his predecessor." she proclaimed, warning them all to be vigilant.
"As for the other Heroes and their party members, they might also use his name to hunt and kill other Heroes since there is a loophole in the rules for the first time in the history of the Conclave of Heroes." stated the Empress, revealing another dangerous outcome.
Obviously, there were always going to be some loopholes in the rules one way or another and in a world where strength and cunningness triumphed everything. Thus, everyone would be looking forward to exploiting those loopholes for their own gains.
"They might as well attack you, kill everyone including the Hero, and blame it on the Hero of Darkness and his group since there won't be a way to know who actually did it on the sacred grounds.
On top of it, since the other Emperors and Empresses will also be present, even someone like me won't risk going to war with others because of the Transcendent Sanction of the Gods." the Empress' voice jolted the members of the Hero's Party.
"And even if someone succeeds, no empire would go to war with another over a dead Hero/Heroine who can't even fight against the Demon God.
To put even more stress to this already precarious situation, Emperor Havi Hos Sigfreed of the Vulcan Empire is also coming despite the death of Hero of Fire, Axel Lobethrok." she declared in a grim tone as if having an unpleasant memory of this person.
"What stance will he take after catching the Hero of Darkness is also very crucial.
Because now, he has every justification to either kill or imprison the Hero of Darkness.
And any other empire meddling or opposing his actions would go against the bylaws of the Conclave of Heroes." she shed light on the other side of the foreseeable future.
"There is so much politics involved to the point that even an 8th-stage saint like me cannot do anything but follow the laws since this matter includes the Gods and Goddesses themselves.
I and Romulus will handle those matters outside by ourselves.
However… what happens inside will be left all on your capabilities to fight and survive." she spoke as if motivating them to do their best.
"So all of you have to put your lives on the line for the sake of the Nadur Empire so Maximus can complete the main task and return safely." spoke the Empress with a benign and enchanting smile.
And with that entrancing smile, she finished her words in a kind and tender voice…
"If he dies, so do all of you."
