Chapter 921 - Osteoburg
Under the effects of the Godfall poison, Luca was incapacitated and unable to utilize the energy in his body. Several highgods of death swarmed at him and jointly sucked his divine energy dry. He could only watch helplessly as the godhunters kill him slowly.
After Luca was killed, the remaining few of his minions soon suffered the same fate. Just as Polo commanded, not a single one of them was spared.
The Godfall poison had played a significant role in Polo’s swift and effortless victory in this battle. Luca and his forces did not realize that they were being poisoned before it was too late. Without any capacity to resist, they became living divine essences for the godhunters.
After the massacre was over, it was time to clean up the crime scene. Polo’s godhunters would take out bottles of azure-blue powders and apply them to the wounds of the bodies. In just moments, those bodies would completely liquefy, leaving no evidence behind other than a puddle of bloody liquid.
Polo put on a gratified smile and explained to the House of Han trio, “Hehe, thanks to these extraordinary medicines provided by Celestial Pearl, we have a much easier time doing our jobs.”
Bollands swept his gaze across those liquefied bodies and nodded his head indifferently. He said, “We would like to meet Han Hao.”
“Chief is not in this area and His Lordship is in the middle of something. But if you will be staying in the Omphalos, you will have the opportunity to meet him in the near future,” replied Polo in a friendly manner as though he had transformed into another person.
“Alright then. Thank you for your help,” replied Bollands.
“Haha, you’re too polite. we’re all friends here, so don’t need to be so cordial.” Polo was aware of Han Hao’s relation with the House of Han and he had considered himself a fringe member of the House. There was no way that Polo would be smug before Bollands.
“Be it as it may, we appreciate your assistance. Alright, we will continue heading towards Omphalos but we will be more careful. We probably won’t run into any more troubles,” said Bollands after thinking for a moment. He then turned to Gilbert and Sanguis and said, “Let’s get moving!”
“I heard that Bryan has wiped out the godhunter bases in the Darkness and Death Dominions. The two Sovereigns consider him a threat to the existence of the Godhunter Alliance and want to destroy Bryan at all costs. As his base happens to be at the Fringe, they thought that they might as well conquer the Fringe while they are at it,” said Tyre in a grimace.
“It’s him again!” Logue got furious. He suddenly slammed the armrest of his throne, stood up, and complained, “Ever since this guy steps into the Fringe, he just keeps on making us troubles and troubles. And now, he even made the Hegemons unite! This guy is a scourge that needs to be eliminated!”
“Don’t worry about that just yet, we need to deal with the Godhunter Alliance first.” Without concealing his murderous intention, Tyre said, “I know you want him dead – so do I. But now is not the time to do so. Even if we attack Bryan and succeed, the Godhunter Alliance will still carry on with the invasion. And by then, we will be too exhausted to defend ourselves.”
Malicious, sinister lights glinting from Logue’s little eyes. He nodded and smilingly said, “I have an idea – we can push him forward and let him take the brunt of the Godhunter Alliance’s attack. Hehe, with that, he will be forced to go all out against the Godhunter Alliance. If he ended up getting killed – that’d be the best. If he won – we could then get rid of him without too much effort. In short, we must not let him live!”
“That’s a great idea!” Tyre chucked sinisterly.“But can Bryan and his forces handle the Godhunter Alliance?”
“Isn’t there Wasir and Ossora?” Logue put on a scheming smile and said, “The two of us just need to plan ahead and push the three of them to the frontline. As long as they fight the Godhunter Alliance before us, we will be in great positions. Hehe, if all three of them end up dead, the Fringe will be ours!”
Tyre kept silent for a moment before he suddenly laughed heartily and said, “It seems that I have made the right decision in coming to meet you!”
“Let’s discuss and make a thorough plan. With the power and influence we have in the Fringe, we can easily make those three fight the frontline. And when this is done, Tyre, we will split the Fringe into two – you’ll have one side and I will take the other!”
“Sounds good, let’s discuss… “ Tyre and Logue began scheming.
One day later, Tyre left the Osteoburg with a big smile on his face. He went to a secluded spot, deployed layers of barriers around him, and took out his magical mirror.
The image in the magical mirror twisted and warped, gradually revealing a face that Han Shuo knew. It was one of the Hegemons of the Godhunter Alliance – Dhaka!
“Elder Brother, so here’s the deal… “ Tyre had a relaxed look as he told Dhaka every detail about his negotiation with Logue.
Dhaka nodded as he listened to Tyre. After a while, he smilingly replied, “After this battle, I will be in charge of the Godhunter Alliance and you will be the ruler of the Fringe. And by then, we brothers will join forces, open the path to Aethernia, and steal the Quintessences!”
“Hahaha, sorry Logue, but the Fringe won’t be split into two. It will be united – under my rule!” Tyre laughed out loud.
