"You will go that far for this Soul Master, Hecate?" Thanatos slowly asked.

"You believe her words, Thanatos?" Helcan quickly asked, adding, "It's just an empty threat. What kind of status does the Skymagia Star Kingdom have? It wouldn't just move because she says so!"

"No, Hecate's words can indeed move the Skymagia Star Kingdom, Helcan," Thanatos solemnly corrected.

"Hecate is the eldest young lady of the Darkstar Aristocrat Family. The Skymagia Star Kingdom will definitely give her some face. Ten thousand years ago, the Skymagia Star Kingdom originally planned to summon Gehenna to join the Realm War."

"However, Hecate's sudden arrival made the Skymagia Star Kingdom change its plan. As such, you should be thanking her for not becoming some cold corpse on the battlefront until now," Thanatos stated.

"The Darkstar Aristocrat Family? Which Darkstar Aristocrat Family?" Astarte asked with astonishment.

According to her knowledge, she only knew of seven Darkstar Aristocrat Families within the Skymagia Star Kingdom and its ninety-eight vassal star realms.

However, none had any powerhouse stronger than an Early-stage Rank 7 Divine Being. Thus, it was also impossible for the Skymagia Star Kingdom to take such an aristocratic family seriously.

After all, that would give too much face to a family beneath it.

"Sacred Trisolar Star Kingdom's Darkstar Aristrocrat Family," Thanatos stated.

However, his answer did not produce any shock among the Great Devils, which also didn't surprise him.

Among them, how many had actually traveled to the Skymagia Star Kingdom and its ninety-eight vassal star realms?

The Sacred Trisolar Star Kingdom was even further beyond that. Furthermore, it was far more powerful than the Skymagia Star Kingdom.

"The Sacred Trisolar Star Kingdom is a strong Tier-2 Star Kingdom. On the other hand, our Skymagia Star Kingdom is only a Tier-1 Star Kingdom. Furthermore, it is among the weakest Tier-1 Star Kingdoms," Thanatos calmly explained.

"For your information, Tier-1 Star Kingdom only needs one Rank 8 Divine Being to be classified as such. However, a Tier-2 Star Kingdom has to have at least ten Rank 8 Divine Beings to be considered a Tier-2 Star Kingdom."

"Also, the Skymagia Star Kingdom only requires Rank 7 Divine Beings for a family to become an aristocratic family, but the Sacred Trisolar Star Kingdom requires Rank 8 Divine Beings."

"Now, do you understand how powerful the Sacred Trisolar Star Kingdom's Darkstar Aristocrat Family is?" Thanatos asked.

Besides Hecate and Thanatos, the Great Devils were all dumbfounded by the information.

Even the usually playful Mephistopheles had his eyes widened like saucers.

"For your information, my Darkstar Aristocrat Family has three Rank 8 Divine Beings," Hecate dropped another bomb on top of the shocking news.

"Three Rank 8 Divine Beings…" Balmodan's lips twitched furiously.

Since the Skymagia Star Kingdom was considered one of the weakest Tier-1 Star Kingdoms, the three Rank 8 Divine Beings were enough to topple its sovereignty.

After learning Hecate's background, the Great Devils couldn't help but look at her differently.

"What the hell… You're practically a princess, Hecate," Mephistopheles exclaimed, smacking his knees. Then, he asked curiously, "What made you leave your illustrious family behind to stay in this backwater realm?"

"Can we focus on the more important issue here?" Balmodan asked seriously after taking a deep breath.

If Hecate wanted to insult or humiliate him again, he would just accept it willingly. But if she wanted his life, he would resist her with everything he had.

His pride was nothing if he didn't have a life to enjoy it.

"Hecate, I apologize if I have been rude to you or offended you in any way. Since you're the eldest young lady of such a powerful family, I will give you that much respect," Balmodan stated before turning grave.

"However, if you want us to let a threat grow until it ultimately kills us, I will still oppose you with everything I have."

"You can't expect us to wait and die, right?" Balmodan added with a deep frown.

Hecate softly sighed before criticizing him, "You're very narrow-minded, do you know that, Balmodan? You keep seeing the Soul Master as the problem. But my question to you is – When will you start seeing him as the solution?"

"See the Soul Master as the solution? The solution to what? A slow death? You must be kidding me, Hecate," Helcan laughed coldly and said, "I don't know about the others, but I am more adamant about killing this Soul Master! He is no solution of mine, only a problem!"

"What do you two think?" Thanatos asked Astarte and Mephistopheles.

"Since Hecate sees the Soul Master as the solution, I'm curious to hear what she says on that matter," Mephistopheles said thoughtfully.

"I am of the same opinion," Astarte voiced.

"Very well," Thanatos acknowledged before returning his attention to Hecate. "Since you see him as the solution, I would like you to elaborate. The Soul Master is the solution to what?"

"Naturally, the Soul Master is the solution to breaking away from your mundane lives," Hecate boldly said, which could be considered offensive if taken wrongly.

Nevertheless, she continued fearlessly, "Soul Masters are always shrouded in great destiny. If we can secure a good relationship with this Soul Master, he will undoubtedly help us achieve heights we never dream of reaching."

"Have you ever heard of a Peak Demigod standing toe-to-toe with a Peak Rank 6 Divine Being without dying or suffering any loss? This Soul Master is clearly far more talented than any Soul Master I have ever heard of."

"Furthermore, he still has no teacher to guide him on the path of a Soul Master. His future is simply limitless. If we can help him when he is still weak, how much benefit do you think we will reap once he is strong?"

"You do think Rank 7 Divine Being will be your limit? What if he can help us become Rank 8 Divine Beings or even higher? Have you all thought about that?" Hecate mentioned.

Soul Masters were the most extraordinary beings in Chaos due to their ability to bend the laws to their will. They were the closest beings to Origin Creators without being at that level.

Rewriting another being's talent was one of their various known abilities. They held the key to overcoming the innate talent limit given at birth.

"You've caught my interest, Hecate. Please continue," Thanatos requested.
