[Hidden City]
At this time of the night as Ingrid was having a really bad time of her life due to some nightmares that occasionally showed up during her sleep, she would somehow at some point spent her time pacing around the room restlessly
According to her deduction since the time in the void and the her world has a completely different time period, she doesn't even know when Kaido will get back in this world and leave the void
For her it's already been a month since Kaido and the rest had entered the void, but after all this time there have been no message nor connections been made
She even tried asking for Melfina to infiltrate the demon continent to check on Kaido, but when she did go away to fulfill the mission, Melfina then later on returned earlier than usual and reported about the huge wall of water separating the demon continent from the rest of the civilization
Through that she guessed that Kaido must have inputted such measure to make sure that no one can know the movement of the Demon's, especially their gathering to raid the void
Cause if such case was to be known to the world, a huge misunderstanding might erupt as the leaders would think this as a preparation for another huge war against them and based on her understanding such a guess might be possible
First of all the world doesn't know the void except the Demon's, secondly the world is still at a sensitive state since the war of nation's completely took a toll on their own progress of development, economic, and population
With this two factors, such a misunderstanding might just be possible and all of this has been speculated by Kaido
Realising that fact, Ingrid couldn't help but shook her head in amazement to how much foresight Kaido could see as a consequence to his actions, especially how he would deal with such situation by thinking outside the box
At this moment the world then suddenly shook as the invisible space around them suddenly distorted which almost made them look like to be about to break
Soon the world turned to chaos as earthquakes and landslide occur all over the world that lasted for only a couple of minutes
But for this inhabitants this few minutes felt like hours Thus, causing commotions all over the world
On one side as this happened the necklace that Kaido have to Ingrid including the ring seemed to have reacted to it and formed a small crack on its hard surface
Seeing this impossible reaction, a grave premonition suddenly dawned on her as she felt that something wasn't right with the situation at all
"Kaido is in danger..."
As she thought of this she immediately begun to call for a huge meeting with all the leaders of different kingdom
*********
[Grand Kingdom]
At this moment with heavy strides Xyrus together with the rest of the grand knights of the Beastman country soon marched towards the Hero's room as they intended to Inform Alduin about the suggested meeting that called upon the leader from different kingdoms
Since Alduin was a hero, then he has full right to attend such ceremony
"Alduin! It's me Xyrus!!! Open up or better yet get up from your bed!" Said Xyrus as he knocked of the room's door
After receiving no reply Xyrus then repeated his actions
"Alduin! Wake up! If your spending your time with those prostitute again then please ignore them first! This matter is inline with our interest, you need to attend this meeting!"
At this moment Xyrus barged inside the room together with the knights only to realize that the room was empty and has no sign of life
In fact the last time Alduin saw Xyrus, the former had ask to not disturb him for a very long time since he will try to improve the machinery of his exoskeletal bone on his arms, thus he needed to concentrate fully and have no distractions
With such request it was only natural for Xyrus to comply, thus he left Alduin's workshop and room alone for a month
What he didn't know was that Alduin went to the void the very day he asked for that request and never returned since then
Frantic as usual Xyrus then ordered some knights to search the kingdom as he search for clues inside his room and his workshop and only to find a small note
The moment he started to read of such note, all his muscles then turned limp as it was explained on the note the reason for his disappearance and based on the dryness of the ink on the paper he deducted that such note must have been placed on such place for a month now
Meaning it's been a month since Alduin's disappearance and he didn't even notice it, at that conclusion he then fell unto the floor disappointed on himself
What he didn't know was that Alduin would never return in the kingdom ever again, this false hope has been implanted unto him
*********
[Elven Nation]
Even though the situation wasn't a secret from her, the rest however was kept in the dark
But with Cara daily report of Elijah's life response, she was assured that her son was still alive in this past one month
But this day she was truly worried as she received a report that the life signal of both Horus and her son Elijah suddenly weakened all of the sudden
This only proves how dangerous the void realm was and how much pressure they were enduring inside
For her the danger in the void was immeasurable since she doesn't even know what's inside of it, thus all she can do at this moment was pray for her son's safety
*********
[Void]
In an approximately 30 km wide of a destruction plane has been formed from that explosion, due to the accumulated energy and damage she received, such destruction was really astounding
All the weaker monsters and Voidlings were killed mercilessly and only those who are strong was able to survive
But even with that those survivors however were clutching on the tiny straw of life as they tried to held on just to live
Luckily the leaders of various species except Maltheus and Seralyn together with her vassals were just outside the 30 km range thus they haven't been engulfed by the explosion
On the other hand the people who were inside of that particular range was in a grave situation
As for Hibiki, he too was shocked by such destruction from that one attack that he gripped his hand in anger while still mourning for the death of his close friends
But upon witnessing such power, he doesn't even have the confidence to face such monstrosity and has noway of defeating it
With that he then fell on his knees and begun to pray for any kind of help to the god that brought him to this place
In fact In all his life this is that first time he ever asked for a request from a god, this he doesn't know what to expect from this interaction
But nevertheless this didn't stop him from expecting some external help
"Whoever God you maybe, please just answer my one request... Please give me power..."
*********
On the other hand as the after math of the explosion showed not even one of their people from the raiding army had survived except fo the few strong ones inside the range
Among them each and everyone of them has a differing status
Both Argos and Maltheus as part of the dragon species utilized their Dragonic scales to reduce the injury and damage they will receive from such a huge catastrophic spell, due to that both of them were left in a gravely injured state but not fatal enough to kill them
At this moment Argos has fully released his form for about 75% to actually activate his dragon scales which save his his life, one aspect of this is his retractable scales and dragonic fangs and wings
The same could be said to Maltheus who nearly transformed into a dragon
As for Fengris he was still alive but barely moving due to him not being able to avoid being injured from the explosion
Luckily he had used his own Calamity Mana to cover his own body with it and survived the attack, but in exchange he was barely hanging on to his own Consciousness and trying to stay awake
At this moment he had already returned to his human fo m after exhausting his energy from the very beginning of the raid with no rest at all
He can't even speak out words as his injury cause him to bleed and unable to speak
On the other side Horus barrier around him barely managed to save himself and Elijah from the explosion, but the after effects of Asuto's spell completely affected both of them as he losses a huge amount of strength which resulted to him gasping, while Elijah became unconscious due to the spell
In fact both of them were unable to escape being gravely injured but managed to protect their lives thus weakening their life signature's
At this moment only one person was standing before them as Asuto carelessly walked out of the smoke and begun to talk down on them
"I was wondering why haven't you transformed into a dragon? Isn't transforming into a dragon fully indicates that your giving your all? Doesn't that mean your underestimating me?" Asked Asuto as he stepped unto Maltheus head
Of course Maltheus could only grit his teeth in frustration from this act but never could he retaliate cause of his injury
At this moment Argos answered him while forcefully speaking out
"We're not underestimating you... We just found that transforming into a dragon... Wouldn't help us or ease our situation... But if we did transform we will just become a huge target for you"
Hearing that Asuto nodded
"Indeed a huge target, with my speed even if you transform, you would just be at a disadvantage state, in fact you may become a burden even more... You guys made the right decision of not transforming, you guys do have brains after all" said Asuto as he turned around and headed for the device in order to break the freezing spell
Seeing this Horus could only grit his teeth in frustration as he watched Asuto walk away and complete his duty
At this moment a voice suddenly erupted out behind him, thus catching his attention
Without hesitation Asuto then slashed out his sword behind his back while turning around to identify the enemy
But as he did such a thing, the sword was suddenly stopped by an unknown barrier that he never recognize before
In fact using psychic barrier, Kaido had completely blocked a fatal strike from Asuto by an inch to his neck as he smiled while looking down on the latter
"Heya! We meet again Fallen Hero"
Of course Asuto immediately recognized the person since he had intentionally recruited him back in the Demon king's Castle
"Kaido"
In fact both Kaido and Aileene managed to survive from that attack and receive no damage due to Aileene's spell of transporting them in between space and time which negated all kinds damage
Due to severing their connections for a few moments in the reality, both of them manage to survive without recieving any injury at all
At this moment the both Kaido and Aileene were having a standoff against Asuto from this destructed plain
At this moment Asuto spoke
"So have you considered my request? I ain't asking much but with our similar behavior and attitude, you should reconsider joining me" said Asuto
"Hoh? And why would I do that? Please enlighten me" replied Kaido
At this moment Asuto spreads out his arm as he said
"Look around you!!! Your armies have fallen, my power is immeasurable, your destruction will be absolute if you decline me... With me here I can change your fate and the fate of your subordinates... Join me and change the world as I see fit, with him in power... We will rule the whole cosmos"
At this moment Kaido looked around as he replied
"So in the end I'll just be another pawn"
"But in power... With his guidance"
"I don't even know who your referring to..."
"In time you will understand the difference in power" said Asuto as he boasted everything
At that moment Kaido suddenly gave an evil laugh to ease the tension as he said
"That's quite a speech there, but if you want to kill them, then do so immediately..."
At this moment he stared directly unto Asuto's eyes and darkness started spreading out from him
"I'll show you the worst of humanity, the reason why evil was born, the monstrosity it created... I'll show you how humanity will trample you, your so called boss and anyone who is above"
Drawing closer he then said
"This battle was never between light and darkness, but rather it's between two darkness and only one of us can survive either I kill you or you kill me..."
From that both darkness will see who will subdue the other and who will be subdued
