Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-1012-1

While Eiko and Fei Fei were busy looting the City of El Dorado, one of the Kingdoms bordering the Xeno Kingdom was having an important meeting.

In the Royal Palace of the Aston Kingdom…

"Are you sure about this information?" the King of the Aston Kingdom asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the High-Ranker nodded his head. "I am certain about it."

The King closed his eyes as he pondered on what to do with the information he currently had.

He was one of the people who had come to the Divine Empire and witnessed the destructive battle between the Heretics and the Divine Army of Light.

Although the Divine Army's influence had fallen considerably after losing their Capital City and their Main Headquarters was destroyed, it didn't change the fact that they were still one of the most powerful organizations in the world.

After thinking for several minutes, the King glanced at his adviser and asked for his opinion.

"What do you think we should do with this information?" The King asked.

The Adviser only smiled after hearing the King's inquiry.

"Is there a need to think about this, Your Majesty?" the Adviser replied. "The Xeno Kingdom survived the Beast Tide with the Heretic's help. This means that they are connected to him in some way.

"As to how to handle this information, we can just leak it to the subordinate Kingdoms of the Beast King. We don't need to get our hands dirty. We can just let them handle this matter."

The King smiled. "So we are going to make it look like we only passed along this information but didn't have a hand in this matter, correct?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Adviser replied. "If you wish, I will personally handle this matter."

"Very well," the King replied. "I will leave this matter in your very capable hands."

"As you will, Your Majesty," the Adviser bowed before leaving the throne room.

Half a day later, the Adviser arrived at one of the subordinate Kingdoms of the Beast Empire, Zane Kingdom, and talked directly to their King, sharing with them this sensitive matter.

"I see, so you wish for us to do your dirty work for you," the Rhino King smirked.

"Not at all, Your Majesty," the Adviser replied. "We are simply giving you this information. As to what you do with it, it is up to your discretion."

"No matter how hard you try to sugarcoat it, the fact still stands that you want us to trample on this Xeno Kingdom for you," the King stated.

However, a smile soon appeared on the Rhino-kin's face as he thought of the many benefits he could obtain by talking to the Divine Army.

"Very well, if things go smoothly, I will make sure to share a slice of the pie with the Aston Kingdom," the King replied.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty," the Adviser bowed respectfully. "I will now take my leave."

The King nodded. "Mmm."

When the Adviser of the Aston Kingdom left, the Rhino King raised his hand.

Immediately, four Saints appeared in front of him and knelt at the same time.

"Go and visit this Xeno Kingdom," the Rhino King ordered. "Take the children of their Royal Family as hostage and bring them here."

"What if their parents resist, Your Majesty?" One of the Saints asked.

"You can beat them up, but don't kill them," the Rhino King stated. "Someone has to inform the Heretic that we have hostages on our side."

"Understood." The Saint nodded before he and his comrades disappeared from the throne room.

The King then clapped his hand, and his right-hand man appeared in front of him.

"Go to the Beast King Empire and tell them what we plan to do," the Rhino King ordered. "Also, get in touch with the nearest branch of the Divine Army and share this news with them as well. The more reinforcements we have, the better."

His right-hand man nodded before turning into a beam of light that flew towards the window.

The Rhino King smirked because he understood that even though the Divine Army was acting as if they were lying low, they were in fact expanding their information network and doing their best to find any information about the Half-Elf.

Since that was the case, why not let them see the Half-Elf themselves?

The Divine Army hadn't used their full force in the battle in their Divine City.

Only a third of their army had been present at that time because their Higher Ups were busy with something else.

The Divine Army had discovered a hidden gateway a week before Gaap's capture, and they were doing their best to analyze where the gateway would take them.

After careful experimentation, they discovered that the Gateway actually connected to the Abyss, making it a higher priority than Gaap's execution.

News about the Xeno Kingdom's connection with Lux traveled quickly in just the span of two days.

Because of this, a handful of people, who were currently gathered in a secluded place in Elysium, received the information.

"Xeno Kingdom?" the Beast King frowned. "Those fools. Are they trying to poke a hornet's nest?"

Clearly, the Beast King was very displeased with this news.

After what happened in the Divine Empire, he had to re-evaluate Lux's threat level, and upon careful consideration, he decided that antagonizing the Half-Elf wasn't worth it.

What he was afraid of wasn't the Half-Elf.

He was afraid of the people backing him up.

Hereswith was now a Peak Demigod, and the Beast King would only be able to fight against her if he transformed into his Beast Form, which would allow him to jump to the Peak Demigod State.

Most monsters who were in human form had this ability.

The Dragon King was a Peak Supreme.

However, once he transformed into his Dragon Form, he would become a Peak Demigod.

A Demigod was stronger than a Supreme, and no one in their right mind would dare antagonize a peak Demigod unless they had a death wish.

The Oracle of the Divine Army, Maeve, frowned after hearing the report.

She was still very bitter that she had failed to kill Lux and allowed the Half-Elf to escape.

If it weren't for Gaap's interference, the Half-Elf would have died in the Divine City, and one of the Heretics threatening their organization would have ceased to exist.

Taking a golden bowl out of her storage ring, the Oracle filled it up with water before lightly tapping its surface with her fingertip.

Ripples appeared on its surface, but just like she expected, she was unable to see anything.

She was unable to use her Divination to lock onto the Half-Elf because he was protected by the laws of the world, for he was one of the beings who had unlocked a Progenitor Class.

"This might be a good opportunity," Maeve muttered as she gazed at the Beast King and the two other people beside her. "Depending on how important the members of the Xeno Royal Family are to that brat, we might be able to capture him."

"You make it sound so easy," the Beast King sneered. "Have you forgotten about what happened in your Divine City?"

Maeve and the two people sitting beside her frowned.

"What happened back then was truly unfortunate," Maeve admitted. "However, it was due to the fact that we allowed our enemies to make their preparations that caused our downfall. This time, we will act swiftly and not give the Half-Elf time to react."

"Are you going to kill him?" the Beast King asked.

The Oracle shook her head. "Killing him now is not ideal. If it were before, I would not hesitate to kill him. But now… things are more complicated."

The Oracle knew that if they killed Lux, Hereswith would avenge him.

Once the beautiful Elf came into the picture, the Elves would also join the war.

If the Elves join the war, the Dragons would also move.

Right now, a full-scale war between these factions was something that they wanted to avoid.

"You won't kill him, so what will you do?" the Beast King arched an eyebrow.

Maeve smirked. "Once we have the hostages, we will force him to sign a Soul Contract. That will ensure that he will not be able to defy us again."

"So you will make him your slave."

"As long as he is alive, Hereswith will not do anything reckless. As long as we have her Grand Disciple, we will have a leash that can control her movements. This is hitting two birds with one stone."

The Oracle smiled because this was indeed the best solution to control the two Heretics and make them submit by force.
