"I AM NOT DEAD YET!!" "Well, you are now." With a casual look on her face, Aeliana appeared behind the no-named enemy Leader and beheaded him. Thud His body fell on the ground with a ’thud’. It didn’t take long for the rest of the Primordials to fall as one. Thud Thud Thud One by one, their bodies fell on the ground as well, and... "…" "…" "…" Silence. Absolute silence fell over the place. The Soldiers and the Leaders from both Worlds stared at Aeliana, their gazes filled with awe and terror. This woman… She took down 17 Primordial Level Beings… all on her own… And she made it look so easy… Aeliana hovered in the air like a Goddess, the blood hovering with her, as if ready to follow her command. Right now, this woman could declare the fate of 2 million lives with just a mere thought. That possibility horrified the two Worlds’ Leaders, all five of them wondering what was about to happen. After all, one thing was already clear—they were no match for her. Even after facing 17 Primordials, there was not even a single drop of sweat on her captivating face. It was as if… she just sprayed over a bunch of bugs that were annoying her, dealing with them in one go. It was then... The woman’s crimson eyes finally stared at the five Leaders. The Leaders’ bodies flinched. The fear had rooted deep into their entire being. Unconsciously, they all lowered their heads, as if submitting to the woman. Aeliana was used to that look; she very well knew what it meant. "So what am I supposed to do with you now, hmm?" She questioned lightly, none of the Leaders, however, dared to answer her. "You three are from Velcria?" Aeliana suddenly questioned as she stared at the three Velcrian Leaders. "Y-Yes! We are from Velcria!" The Velcrian Leaders nodded. They almost saluted the woman in front of them. From the very beginning, these beings had never once bowed or acted subservient to anyone. Even when their Faction sent representatives, those representatives were mostly Sovereigns or Primordials. And while they were still respectful when dealing with them, their relationship was more on an equal side. These Leaders didn’t even know how to act subservient. Right now, however, their bodies were acting on their own, submitting to the power above them. "Hmm." Aeliana nodded. Then, she glanced at the fallen Primordials and... "You know what you are supposed to do, correct?" She questioned, and the Velcrian Leaders trembled. They wanted their answer to satisfy this woman. A mistake could mean anything here, and they wanted to avoid the worst-case scenario by any means. Both Kaelgran and Elaris turned towards Liora. In the end, the Seraphyte had no choice but to step forward despite her entire body screaming against it. What else could she even do? Discuss who was going to answer and keep this woman waiting? That was certain death! "I-If the Lady wants, w-we will report them t-to our Faction. They have broken the Sacred Rules; they need to be held acc—" "Don’t be foolish." Aeliana, however, cut her off, making the Seraphyte’s body flinch again. "If you report it to your Faction, what do you think would happen to you?" At her question, Liora frowned. "Do you think the enemy Faction would let you go by directing the Supreme Worlds’ wrath on them?" Liora’s expression changed as she realized the answer to this question. They would be annihilated from the face of the Universe without being able to show any form of resistance. "T-Then what am I supposed to do?" She asked as politely as she could, making sure that her question didn’t offend this woman in any way. To her, the Faction War or whatever didn’t matter. She just wanted to live and her people to thrive. She wanted a way out. A way out for her and her people. "Report it to the Enemy Faction." Aeliana answered. An answer that made the Velcrian and even the Trandis’s Leaders frown in confusion. "Let the enemy Faction handle the problems within their Faction. Play no part in it, act ignorant. That is the only way you will survive." "I-I understand. I will follow your advice." Liora bowed her head. Aeliana commanded, but just as she was about to leave... "B-But Lady…" Suddenly, another being called out. It was Malcharon, the enemy Nightveil Leader. Aeliana turned towards him, but despite his body flinching in fear... "I-If they do that, our World will be destroyed." He stuttered. Even a child could tell how the Faction would ’handle’ problems within the Faction. Both Worlds responsible would be destroyed until there was nothing left. Even if Tandris had nothing to do with this, even if they were in a position where they couldn’t go against the command of a Middle Level World, the Faction wouldn’t care. To them, there was only a single solution to this problem, and Malchoron wanted to avoid that at any cost. Just like any World Leader, he wanted to protect his own world. Heck, from the very beginning, he and his people had only been trying to survive! It was Velcria that continuously waged war, trying to destroy their home. However... "And?" Aeliana didn’t care. "I do not see how that is my problem." The Vampire declared coldly, and Malchoron’s body trembled. But what could he do? Face this woman? He knew that even if he burned his Life Force, he would never be a match for her. The only thing he could do was helplessly watch as he and his people got annihilated for the mistake they didn’t even make. "…" Aeliana stared at this man in silence. Even if she wanted to help him, there was nothing she could do. There were too many eyes here. Even if she didn’t make a decision here, with so many eyes, it was only a matter of time before any of the two Factions learned about what transpired here, and once they did... It would be the end for not just one, but both worlds. Honestly, her suggestion was the only way out for these people. The only way to save whatever lives could be saved. "What if… we surrender?" Suddenly, Malcharon questioned as he stared at Aeliana with a determined look on his face. "Huh…?"
