Chapter 734 - 734
"It was possible that servers were destroyed in the fight, but still, it seemed a bit odd. In a quick scan, everything seemed normal at the moment."
" Still, I asked Ai to use a thorough scan, just for peace of mind."
The Youngster nodded. " So that's why it took her so long. No wonder. But still, for someone to be so thorough that even Ai couldn't detect it at initial glance, that's surprising."
Jian and his friends remained confused about what these people were talking about. Their words seemed odd, but they waited and didn't attack.
In the background, Kellian wasn't happy. These people were really too advanced. They were still able to find the deleted database? There should've been none left, so it was surprising how it happened.
A bigger screen appeared before the old man, which started broadcasting the battle from the starting moment. The deleted moments were also added in the footage, which included the arrival of Lucifer in the city.
It showed him entering the meeting with the Warlock Council and later the conflict between the two sides.
It also showed them the beginning of the battle and the strength of Lucifer and his teammates.
Jian looked at the footage more clearly. Finally, he could see what happened in Zeston and how everything unfolded.
He noticed all the attacks of Lucifer, analyzing them thoroughly.
"His father killed my father, and now the son returned to kill my brother?" Jian asked, clenching his fist.
"He is very strong," Another Warlock Council member chimed in. "No wonder he took them out."
"Not just him, but his entire team is solid, it seems. When is Milena from the Divine Empire? She cannot only kill the strongest of Variants, But she can also turn them into minions and use them in battles."
"If these two are in a team, I think we are going to have a really hard time to defeat them. And then there's the third guy, the mysterious person who can slow down time. If I'm not wrong, he should be a noble as well, working under Milena."
"These two people catch all the warlock consulates that were present in Zeston, all alone. And that's not even counting the rest of the teammates who should be special as well?"
The discussion between Warlock Council members started taking place as they watched the footage and the battle unfold.
"You are right. They seem strong. But the question remains, who are these people?" Another person sighed.
"I don't think there is any question left. They are the enemies from the Divine Empire. We sent out men there to kill their queen. They probably came back for revenge."
"I know the Divine Empire is strong, but half of the army doesn't seem to be Nobles. It's more like the Divine Empire working with powerful Variants."
"The Uprising." Jian finally opened his mouth after a long time.
"Huh? What?"
"Recently, the Warlock Council only had conflict with two sides. One was the Divine Empire while the other was the Uprising from Elisium, which was becoming a problem," he further added.
"That does make sense." The others agreed. "So two of our enemies came together to mount a surprise attack! Those sneaky bastards!"
"Not sneaky, I suppose you can call them clever," Jian let out, frowning. "I wonder who planned this collaboration. He can be a real problem."
"Wait, if it's the Uprising, that would make sense. I heard Uprising had a new leader, which made it much stronger. And he was said to be a Youngster. If I'm not wrong, the silver haired guy should be the leader!"
"But who are these two guys floating above."
"They are looking for the Uprising head," Jian said. "They shouldn't be from Uprising or from the Divine Empire. If I'm not wrong, they were misled by someone and told that we know the person they're looking for."
The footage continued and showed Lucifer with Kellian. Seeing the two people together, the one man was so enraged that he wanted to destroy whatever he could find. He was fooled by Kellian!
"This bastard! He lied to me!"
"So the man who stole the coffin isn't actually from Warlock Council. It was all their plan to mislead us and use us against their enemies. Such scheming bastards!" The young soldier also exclaimed.
"We're going back! I'll kill that guy for lying!" The old man roared.
"Wait!" Jian called out, stopping the man before he could fly away.
"I think I understand the situation entirely. Those people lied to you to use you against us. They are the enemies of all of us. Why don't we work together?"
"Work together?" The old man asked. "We don't need the help of you all."
The old man rejected the offer and prepared to leave when he suddenly stopped as another beeping sound came.
He tapped his Gloves. "What?"
"Another set of data detected. It is deleted by the same energy signature. Shall I show the reserved version?"
"Show it." The old man said.
Another screen opened up before the old man, which showed Lucifer fighting Morbius, Alexi, and Mirali and winning the battle.
"There he is! Finally! When was this footage taken?"
"Just a few minutes ago."
"Where is this place?" The old man asked.
"The satellite signature and the scene matching algorithm confirms this location to be the Academy of the Gifted Variants in the Island of..."
The assistant didn't just tell the location but also gave the coordinates.
"Ah, so that's why no cameras found him here! He wasn't on this continent! He was hiding elsewhere. Even the smartest makes mistakes, though. He can't run anymore!"
The old man flew away with the young man behind him.
Standing on the ground, Jian had also heard everything. He also knew the location of Lucifer. A smile formed on his lips.
"So this guy isn't in Zeston Capital. If that's the case, this might be the perfect time to take over the capital. Only Milena will be there," he said.
"Shouldn't we go for the boy and kill him first instead? Going straight to Milena in what is now her fortress sounds dangerous."
"But Zeston is closer, and I believe tackling Milena is easier. We need to take over the capital first so no reinforcements can get to him when we get here. In any case, he'll come back to the capital."
"Are you sure?"
"Two hundred percent. If I'm not wrong, the guy is the leader. Milena was listening to him as well. I want to catch him and get my answers as well, but I don't want to make a mistake here.. We need to tread carefully."
