Volume 3: The Land of Mist Chapter 58 Dementia and Prizes
The power of the Moon Realm Bond comes directly from the Void King himself, and temporarily blocking the road paved by these four bonds from the nearby Black Crow is definitely not something that a newly promoted demon general "Dementia" can do.
Behind it, there must be the instruction and support of its master, the "Mad and Fool".
The Thousand Faced Dancer thought so.
Therefore, unlike "Massacre", it did not intend to solve the problem directly with violence, but tried to talk to the other party - at least it needed to know what the attitude of the other Void King was in this matter.
However, after hearing what the Thousand Faces Dancer said, Dementia just yawned as if he was bored, then scratched his butt and changed to a more comfortable sitting position on the exaggerated float - without responding to the questions of the demon general in a gorgeous dance dress.
This made the Thousand Faced Dancer, who had just finished the ceremony, feel that his expression was a little stiff.
Being ignored in front of the four legions, which was almost insulting, made the dancer, who regarded vanity as her life, feel angry.
But before it could happen, the waiter who was wiping the saliva from the corner of "Dementia"'s mouth suddenly spoke.
"What Lord Dementia just meant was that it was relaying the fate declared by our Lord Valk - the time has not come yet, and the fate of Black Crow Hope and the Moon Realm Disaster will not end here. Please wait until the time of destiny is determined before making a decision."
The waiter, who was dressed in a well-dressed tuxedo, spoke calmly and composedly.
The idiot on the side turned his head slightly to look at the waiter. Although the dull expression on his face did not change, to others, it was as if he was expressing the feeling of "Is this what I meant just now?"
However, seeing that there was finally someone willing to reply, the Thousand Faces Dancer immediately asked:
"That is to say, your master is planning to stand on the side of the Heartless and become our enemy, and you are not planning to give up this path, right?"
The heartless one is a derogatory term used in the Moon Realm to refer to the eccentric king called the "Iron-hearted Widow".
In response to this question that could hardly conceal his murderous intent, the waiter turned his head again and looked at the "idiot" beside him, asking for his "opinion".
The confused and foolish expression on Dementia's face was reflected in the waiter's firm and wise eyes. After listening to the other party's humming and groaning for a few seconds, it nodded slightly and whispered, "I understand what you mean, sir."
After that, the waiter replied to the Thousand Faces Dancer:
"Mr. Dementia said that as employees of the Crazy Theater, we have never had any fixed camp. Even if there must be one, we will only stand on the side of the more interesting fate. As for the current situation, our original intention is not to conflict with you - because it would be very boring."
"But you are now blocking our way to the end, and in the future, chaotic conflict is bound to occur."
The one who spoke was a human figure made up of the remnants of countless decaying things, and its voice was like the flapping of flies' wings.
This person is none other than the "Eclipse", which symbolizes the remains left after the end of all things. He is the demon general who had a brief battle with William's clone on April Fool's Day.
To this, the waiter immediately replied:
"No, we really have no intention of getting into a conflict. Lord Dementia said that he could make way and let you pass, but the prerequisite is that the 'Moon Anchor' you are carrying must stay. Black Crow Watch is not the place where they can truly function, and now is not the time for them to appear."
Upon hearing this, the several demon generals standing in the front turned their heads and looked behind them, looking at the four big guys who were well protected by the elite troops in the center of the legion.
A secret weapon called "Moon Anchor" intended to be used against the "Lunar Disaster".
Over the past thousand years, the ten Void Kings of the Moon Realm have created a divine artifact to anchor the present world for the sake of that "plane fusion".
…………
"I ask again, why do I need your help?"
After hearing Blake's report on the enemy situation, William, who realized something was wrong, asked with a serious expression.
Black had carefully hidden the coordinates of Black Crow Wang's Moon Realm on weekdays. Now that such a large army of Moon Realm monsters had suddenly appeared, it could only mean that the content of the conversation between Ai'er and him had aroused a violent reaction from the other kings of the Moon Realm.
Maybe those kings will come out in person. If that's the case, then their current situation is a bit dangerous, after all, this is the Moon Realm, the opponent's home ground.
In response to William's somewhat excited question, Aire replied with a calm expression:
"Because this matter is not as simple as you think."
"But you said earlier that this was a simple ceremony?"
"The ritual itself is indeed simple, but the consequences it causes, if you want to fully bear them at that time, will be very difficult."
The other party replied calmly.
"What will be the consequences?"
William asked.
"When the true king of the present world ascends his throne, it means that the present world is ready."
"Ready for what?"
"war."
Air answered simply.
"War with whom?"
"The war with the Moon Realm."
Isn't this nonsense?
William resisted the urge to blurt out this sentence and said it in a different way:
"The war between the Moon Realm and the real world has never been absent since the beginning of recorded history."
This time, William's words caused a slight change in Air's icy expression, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
It's like a little surprise.
Of course, for the iron-hearted widow El, a "little surprised" reaction is enough to explain a lot of problems.
"So you always thought those were wars?"
Air asked.
After that, she didn’t wait for William’s answer and continued:
"In fact, apart from the incident one thousand and eight years ago... which you called the 'Lunar Crisis', which could barely be considered a war, there has never been a war between the human world and the Lunar Realm in the way you think of it."
Air's words made William confused for a moment.
"The Moon Realm Crisis back then could only be considered a war?"
William repeated.
At this moment, William was thinking in his heart - forget it, I have completed the whole process, even the ending where Moon Realm won, not to mention the ending where I beat up the three Void Kings like children. If Moon Realm is really as powerful as you say, it wouldn't have turned out like that.
Of course, William would not say such words directly.
"Disaster, do you know what the ultimate purpose of the Moon Realm's existence is?"
Ai'er hesitated for a moment and finally asked this.
This question stumped William.
Indeed, as the ultimate villain force in a game, Moon Realm as a whole seems to have never revealed its true purpose.
You can say that the Blood King is for more bloodshed, you can say that the Mad Fool is for more drama, and you can say that the Whispering Queen is for more schemes.
But they don't seem to have an "ultimate" goal like the traditional villains in many works.
Destruction? Chaos? Eternal domination?
None of this happened.
After all, as the Moon Realm that reflects the real world, once the real world is completely destroyed, they will no longer exist.
"So...what is the ultimate goal?"
So William asked.
"The war of the Void King within the Moon Realm is far more intense than the impact we have caused in the real world. Because our ultimate goal is to determine the only winner. And this winner will get her prize - that is, the real world... or the new real world formed by her Moon Realm."
"So do you understand? The present world is just the ultimate prize for us. Once someone ascends the throne of the Eighth Holy Spirit and becomes the true king of the present world, it means that the entire present world will also join this huge game and fight for its own future."
