Volume 2, Chapter 65 – Request

At this point, Tianyin knew she no longer had any words worth using to refute him.

No matter how you looked at it, Undead Grand Duke Sargus had his own things he wanted to do.

But…

“I see. If that is the case, then why did you ask me for my opinion about the Graveyard’s future?”

At last, Tianyin asked the question Sargus had first asked her.

After a long conversation, everything had returned to the starting point, back to when the two began speaking.

“Why?”

Sargus smiled quietly.

“For the Graveyard, you, the people of the world, everyone only sees the surface, but only I, maybe only I can see that the Graveyard only looks overwhelmingly strong on the surface, while in truth, it is not far from ruin.”

“Eh? Why do you say that?”

Tianyin could not understand.

Although Tianyin did not fully know the outside situation, from the small pieces of intelligence she had learned about the Graveyard, she knew it was hard to imagine a Graveyard at the peak of its power being close to collapse.

“Impossible right? From the way things look, your Graveyard’s strength could almost sweep the Main World.”

“Sweep? Hm… I had thought that could happen, but do you know, when Inferno once invaded the Main World under the command of that Abyssal Lord who had survived for who knows how long, the momentum of Inferno then was even stronger than our Graveyard.”

“Umm… but you have seven million Bone Dragons…”

Bone dragons.

Although they are only remnants formed from dead dragons, as former dragons their combat power still ranks them among the notable forces across factions.

At least the top units of the Sanctuary like angels must expend great effort to deal with bone dragons.

“Bone dragons are only incomplete forms that retain battle instinct. Although they are numerous, if the other factions join together, they can still be fought. Also, perhaps you do not know Tianyin, that as the highest leaders of each faction it is not simply a matter of Throne-class strength.”

“Eh… Throne-class? Not just Throne-class? Then what else do they possess?”

Tianyin could not understand.

This statement touched a blind spot in Tianyin’s knowledge about some of the Main World secrets.

“Some things are hard for me to explain, but Tianyin you must remember, although the legendaries and epics below and the outcome of every battlefield have great influence on the course of a war, what truly determines the outcome of a war are those of us at the top of the world, the Throne-class.”

Sargus explained softly.

“The reason Inferno’s invasion tens of thousands of years ago failed was because that Abyssal Lord who had survived for who knows how long was severely wounded.”

“And because the Abyssal Lord was severely wounded, all the advantages Inferno had gained in invading the Main World vanished in an instant.”

Half understanding, Tianyin felt she had grasped what Sargus wanted to express, yet at the same time not really. For a moment Tianyin fell into a state of seeming comprehension and confusion.

“Is that so?”

“It is.”

Sargus did not care whether Tianyin understood. He continued.

“Because of Inferno’s end, I chose to lie low. Actually I have been waiting, waiting for this world to fall into utter chaos, and when the factions are too busy to look outward, I would lead the Graveyard to invade the Main World.”

Just like that, Sargus casually spoke aloud the plan he had kept hidden in his heart all along in front of Tianyin.

After hearing Sargus’s words, Tianyin again fell silent.

From one perspective, if the Graveyard actually followed Sargus’ plan exactly, it would be deadly.

For the entire world, it would be a catastrophic disaster.

“But you did not do that, right?”

After a long silence Tianyin finally forced the words out.

Yes, Sargus had not done that.

“Yes… I did not do that, because the undead in the Graveyard cannot wait any longer, I even know I cannot wait… so I became the leader and started this war myself… abandoning that campaign that was destined to fail.”

“Destined to fail? So this is how you see the Graveyard’s future?”

Tianyin finally realized that the Graveyard’s supreme leader, Undead Grand Duke Sargus, had foreseen that this war was destined to fail when he initiated it.

However, Tianyin still could not understand why Sargus would start a war he knew was doomed.

“If you know it will fail, if you know the undead’s future, then why ask me? I cannot change anything for you.”

Understanding this, Tianyin fell into deeper doubt.

“Why?”

Sargus smiled faintly.

“The reason I asked is also because you possess the power of the Seven Original Sins, right? I just wanted to see how another being with the Seven Original Sins would treat the Graveyard. But if you have no opinion, I will not force you to answer.”

“Umm… very well… then one last question. I want to know what you want me to do for you in the future?”

Tianyin also knew the conversation had reached its end.

Having learned so many secrets of the Graveyard, although Tianyin did not fully understand Undead Grand Duke Sargus’s request, she had a vague guess.

“It is not a difficult thing. As one who holds the Seven Original Sins, relying on your power comparable to Throne-class, helping me with this matter would be easy.”

Sargus said in a low voice and once again bowed deeply to Tianyin.

“Originally I hoped that when the Graveyard fell, you would come to its aid and inherit my position, becoming the future ruler of the Graveyard.”

“Eh… such a thing…”

Tianyin could not help but sound surprised.

To be precise, she was too shocked to speak.

Becoming the ruler of the Graveyard seemed nothing but fantasy.

“Of course I know you cannot do that.”

Seeing Tianyin’s shocked expression, Sargus could not help but smile bitterly.

“So my request is not that. It is another…”

Then Sargus revealed the true request in his heart.
