"It's almost impossible for someone who doesn't speak the Universal Language to notice it without being told,"
Julia added. "Is there anything else you'd like to know?"
"A lot," Adan replied.
"Go ahead," Julia encouraged.
"So, how powerful are the other beings out there, and how many races exist?" Adan asked.
"Those Emperor Tiers are like child's play compared to the truly powerful. Some of them can destroy this planet if they wish with just a wave of their hand," Julia said proudly.
"You're lying," Adan said as the manor came into view.
"Not at all. Some can even play with the planet like a football, which still fascinates me—how they do it, though, is beyond me," Julia said, her expression thoughtful.
"That's a lie," Adan said, his mouth open in disbelief. "How about the races?"
"If it's about the number of races, then I don't really know because there are millions, billions, or even more. The galaxy is vast, and I haven't even explored half of it, but the number of races I do know is around 79."
"Damn," Adan muttered as they reached the gates and knocked.
"So, there are monsters like Elijah out there?" Adan wondered.
"Yes, but I'd still put Elijah in a league of his own," Julia commented. "He doesn't see it, but his very existence is an error in the system. He's like a walking cheat code."
Adan laughed at Julia's joke as Stella appeared at the gates.
"You two seem to be getting along," Stella said, wearing a beautiful dress, her golden hair cascading behind her with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
"Yeah, Stella, can we come in? We have something to discuss, and is Levi here?" Adan asked, and Stella nodded before opening the gates.
Inside the Manor
Stella sat on one side of the room with Levi standing behind her. Adan and Julia sat opposite, and Adan explained everything, their expressions darkening as he spoke. "What should we do, Levi?"
"The best course of action is to leave with Elijah's group," Levi advised.
"Okay then, can you tell Elijah we'll be ready?" Stella asked.
Julia nodded without saying much, and Adan inquired, "Do you know why they would send an Emperor Tier here?"
Stella looked at Levi for a moment before explaining, "My reason for coming here was to find the key to the Treasure Land—a realm filled with treasures beyond imagination. My guess is they've also discovered that the key is here."
"Where?" Julia inquired.
"I don't know. I've been here for some time now, and I couldn't find it," Stella admitted, but Julia didn't seem to care much.
Levi then inquired, "Isn't that why you guys are also here?"
"Nope, we didn't know. We're just passing by," Julia answered, and Levi, not sensing any lies from her, accepted it.
"So, can you explain your plan in more detail?" Stella asked.
