“Before we leave, there are two issues” Gu Qing Shan said.
When he started speaking, everyone made a serious expression as they listened.
After all, everyone here saw with their own eyes how this man alone and his layers upon layers of means, risked his own life to kill the army of 100,000 ghosts, 2 million demonized as well as the [Demon King Order].
Of course, even more than that was because their noble Empress was sitting on his shoulder.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “First of all, Laura will have to wear the Sovereign Armor before anything else, so as to prevent any problems regarding her safety, only after that can we leave”
“Naturally” Ilya instantly agreed.
Laura, on the other hand, was reluctant: “Gu Qing Shan, you should wear the armor for now, I’ve now awoken three different abilities, one of them being the [Infinite Worlds Shelter] that allows me to hide from anyone and everyone”
“Definitely not, you have to do as I say” Gu Qing Shan refuted her.
Seeing the little girl displeased, he changed to a gentle tone and explained: “A battle’s nature is that it is ever-changing, it’s not something you can claim full control over with just a single skill, understand?”
“Fine…”
Seeing how insistent he was, Laura had to agree.
The other guards silently nodded as they saw that.
Indeed, Laura was now the last of the royal family bloodline, even if the current situation was under control, it’s unknown to them how the outside world currently is.
The Empress’ safety cannot be glossed over!
Without needing to say anything else, the Armor of God’s Protection flew at Laura and turned into a faint glow that persisted around her body.
「 Don’t worry, I’m here now 」the armor declared.
Gu Qing Shan nodded and spoke: “Good, now for the second issue, this will require Ilya’s help”
“Me?” Ilya asked.
“Indeed, this is actually my personal request”
“What is it?”
“My personal strength is still insignificant, but everything that happened in this world will definitely shock all parties involved, which will surely bring me a lot of complications and trouble, so I hope that you will gloss over the events that happened in this world. It’ll be to protect me” Gu Qing Shan explained.
Hearing that, the group couldn’t help but fall into thought.
——among those who answered Triste’s call, as a youth below 30 years old, Gu Qing Shan was indeed the cream of the crop.
But among Combatants of the 900 million World Layers as a whole, he was still only a newbie.
An unknown newbie had destroyed the [Demon King Order], this would indeed shake the entire 900 million World Layers.
He will draw a lot of curious eyes, containing both good and ill will, accompanied by various probing.
A lot of people will attempt to look into his background, wanting to know about his treasures and abilities.
No one will believe that he achieved all of this purely with his wits.
Such circumstances will indeed affect Gu Qing Shan’s future survival and growth greatly.
But if everything that happened here was the work of Frost of the Cold Night, Ilya and her subordinates, then there would be no problems at all.
The Bramble Bird Kingdom is known to have countless treasures, capable of dealing with any situation.
Not to mention, Ilya herself was a well-known Combatant in the infinite worlds.
This will be much easier for the public to accept, at most they would only praise Ilya for her great deeds.
Which was why having Ilya take credit for everything was the best choice here.
If Ilya agreed to this, Gu Qing Shan would be receiving her protection and would remain anonymous.
This will make his life much easier, giving him the peace of mind to properly cultivate.
Laura also requested right away: “Ilya, can you help him cover this up?”
Ilya seriously for a bit, then smiled and asked Gu Qing Shan: “But what benefit does this bring to us Bramble Birds as a whole?”
Gu Qing Shan instantly answered: “Because this entire affair began with the Bramble Bird Triste. As a similarly renowned Bramble Bird general, the fact that you were able to save the Empress from harm and eliminate the 2 million demonized together with the [Demon King Order] will become the biggest deterrent to all”
He continued: “This will help remove any ill will anyone dares to hold towards the Bramble Bird Kingdom, causing them to think twice before trying anything. Furthermore, this will benefit Laura’s reign in the future”
Ilya sighed: “You would make a really good politician, but you eliminated the [Demon King Order] y’know—— this is a reputation that will shake the entire 900 million World Layers, are you willing to just let it go without any thought like this?”
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “Reputation and the likes are still too soon for me, right now all I want to do is focus on my cultivation and become strong as soon as possible”
Ilya didn’t hesitate anymore and shrugged: “Truthfully, I would have already agreed to do that as repayment for you saving Laura”
“Very well, then that’s decided” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Then prepare a bit, we’ll leave immediately” Ilya told everyone.
The guards checked their equipment and prepared for battle once again.
Ilya and Gu Qing Shan prepared the details of what happened so that the excuse both sides provide won’t contradict each other.
A few minutes later, Ilya took out a silver sphere and crushed it.
The sphere scattered, turning into countless metal wires.
Ilya formed a hand seal and began to chant an incantation.
Following her chant, the metal wires began to bend and twist, forming a metal barrier that encased everyone within.
The beautiful metallic barrier shot straight towards the sky.
In mere moments, the metallic barrier had broken through space and disappeared from this world.
…
Aboul Hotel.
The royal green room.
Triste was still being held at gunpoint.
But no one dared to touch her right now.
—–if she manages to unseal the barrier in the split second that she dies, then not only Aboul but the several hundred thousand worlds around it will also be covered by the [Demon King Order].
A nightmare will ensue.
Countless living beings will become carriers of the [Order], becoming its slaves.
As time passes, the situation will only become more severe.
The Spirit of the Holy Tree, Lady Tethys sighed: “Triste, I still can’t believe that a renowned Bramble Bird general as yourself would make such a choice”
“Renowned general?”
Triste made a mocking expression and sarcastically spoke: “Can a lowly subservient lackey of the royal family really be called a renowned general?”
Suddenly, a light came from the crystal ball.
Laura, Gu Qing Shan, Ilya and the guards all appeared in the green room.
“Laura!” Triste shouted.
“Laura! Ilya! What is—–” Tethys was shocked.
“Don’t move!”
The guns around all clicked.
They held their barrels close to various points on Triste’s body, making her unable to act rashly.
The situation became chaotic again.
“Retreat” Gu Qing Shan whispered.
The group all protected Laura and retreated to behind Lady Tethys.
Under Triste’s regretful expression, the guards reformed the strict encirclement.
Laura was staring at Triste the entire time.
It wasn’t until everyone had settled back in place that she softly asked: “You really feel that you’re only being a lackey for the royal family?”
Although surprised, Triste still replied: “What a ridiculous question, the only thing I do day by day is protect and take care of your sleeping and eating schedules, this isn’t at all what I want to do!”
Laura spoke: “No one has ever forced you to work for the royal family, if you were unwilling, you could’ve just left, and no one would’ve stopped you”
“But Triste, why did you kill my parents and my brother?”
“They always treated you so well. Among the people of the castle, you are the one who received the most from the royal family, why did you have to kill them?”
Triste was speechless.
But very quickly, her expression turned crazy.
“Because I have my own dreams! To achieve that dream, I won’t hesitate to sacrifice everything!”
“But the thing you’re sacrificing is other people, how is that fair?”
“Fair?” Triste sarcastically spoke, “Laura, you’re still too young, the word ‘fair’ had never existed in this 900 million World Layers in the first place”
Laura’s eyes reddened and ordered: “Go, detain her, I want to execute this traitor of the kingdom in front of my subjects”
“Understood! Your Majesty!” Ilya replied.
She started to walk towards Triste.
Triste raised the crystal ball in her hand.
“Do not come here!” she shouted.
“Triste, everything is over, you will pay dearly for your actions” Ilya shook her head.
Her steps didn’t cease.
“It seems you still don’t understand the situation here” Triste raised the crystal ball above her head and threatened: “Ilya, if you dare take a single step closer, I will unseal this world and release the [Demon King Order]!”
“At that time, everything here will be done for, all of you will become slaves to the [Order]!”
“Ahahahaha!”
Triste laughed maniacally.
“…” Ilya.
“…” Laura.
“…” Gu Qing Shan.
“…” the guards.
Ilya took out a long bramble vine and threw it out.
“O’ spirit of the Saint Tree, in your name, I invoke the inescapable bindings” she chanted.
The bramble vine flew towards Triste.
Seeing the vine, Triste’s expression warped and yelled out in despair: “You forced my hands!”
With both hands on the crystal ball, she shouted: “Release!”
“No! You’re both too impulsive, Triste, don’t—-” Lady Tethys yelled out in horror.
“What now!?” the automatic machine gun hurriedly shouted.
There was nothing they could do now.
A chilling air came from the crystal ball, lowering the room temperature by several degrees.
At the same time, the bramble vine tightly restrained Triste.
The royal room went silent.
The crystal ball fell and rolled a few times on the ground before stopping.
Cold air was still coming out from the crystal ball, forming a layer of frost on the ground.
And then.
Nothing happened.
