Volume 2, Chapter 94 – Destruction of the Graveyard

“Hmm, is it only the five of us Throne-class then? What about that dwarf in the Fortress who only knows blacksmithing, and that old man in the Academy who only studies arcane arts? Aren’t those two coming?”

The Abyssal Lord’s eye turned to scan the surroundings, and after sweeping across the Throne-class present, it withdrew its gaze.

Present were only the Stronghold’s Great Prophet, the Kingdom’s King of Knights, the Elven Queen of Nature, and the Heavenly Father of the Sanctuary.

Counting itself as the Inferno, there were only five Throne-class here at the moment.

At that, the Abyssal Lord’s tone seemed somewhat annoyed about the remaining Thrones who had not shown up.

“No one has ever dared arrive later than me!”

The Abyssal Lord’s logic was a little bizarre.

“The two won’t attend this meeting. The Fortress Emperor seems to be tied up with something, and the Academy’s Magic God appears to be researching a new spell.”

The Abyssal Lord’s words were not completely ignored. As the Abyssal Lord’s nemesis, Heavenly Father took the topic up at the right moment.

“So this meeting will include only the five Throne-class.”

“Hahahahahahaha, so that means I’m actually the last to arrive? Hahahahahahaha…”

The Abyssal Lord emitted a string of low, rumbling laughter.

This kind of Abyssal Lord… really left people at a loss for words…

After all, Heavenly Father’s earlier remarks were meant to explain why the other two weren’t present, but the Abyssal Lord’s focus was on whether it was the final, show-stopping Throne-class to arrive…

“You’re still that neurotic after all these years, Abyssal Lord.”

Listening to the Abyssal Lord’s manic laughter, Heavenly Father said expressionlessly.

The other three Throne-class wore accustomed expressions.

Of course, those Thrones could also scold the Abyssal Lord like Heavenly Father did, but the problem was, they didn’t really dare.

Yes, they didn’t dare.

Every Throne-class present clearly understood the Abyssal Lord’s power. Even now, not even the other Thrones had seen the Abyssal Lord’s true body, and the incarnation it used to walk the world was already so powerful that a single Throne-class struggled to contend with it.

And apart from Heavenly Father, no one knew who could match the Abyssal Lord head-on.

Because of that, the Abyssal Lord’s attitude toward the Thrones present was different from the start.

When it appeared, the Abyssal Lord only greeted Heavenly Father. Toward the other Thrones present, though they were leaders of their factions, the Abyssal Lord did not regard them.

“Neurotic? What about you? You wear that poker face day after day. Aren’t you the one who should know best why Lucifer, who I corrupted, fell from being a lord? You, as his liege, shouldn’t you understand the reason?”

In response to Heavenly Father’s rebuke, the Abyssal Lord directly exposed Heavenly Father’s sore spot.

The fallen angel Lucifer was once Sanctuary’s strongest, and the archangel most likely to step into Throne-class.

But later, because of the Abyssal Lord’s corruption, Archangel Lucifer brought her angel legions and directly betrayed the Sanctuary, joining the Abyssal Lord’s Inferno.

It was for that reason the Sanctuary henceforth held a grudge against the Inferno, sometimes even sending an angel legion to the surface of the Inferno’s abyss to “mow the grass” and vent their anger.

“I will deal with Lucifer, Abyssal Lord. For now, let us return to the topic and begin discussing how to deal with the Graveyard.”

“To deal with the Graveyard, why not use the same method they used on me tens of thousands of years ago to deal with whichever undead Grand Duke it is?”

Regarding how to handle the Graveyard now, the Abyssal Lord seemed to have ideas.

After all, when it invaded the Main World over a hundred thousand years ago, the other factions’ Throne-class had joined hands to defeat it in a very direct way.

Indeed, such direct methods were very effective.

But…

“That method won’t work.”

Heavenly Father shook his head.

He directly vetoed the Abyssal Lord’s proposal.

“Hm? Why?”

“Abyssal Lord, that approach could work, but our goal this time is not only the undead Grand Duke Sargus, but also the endless undead under his command…”

The one speaking was the Elven Queen; her mouth carried a smile like a spring breeze, and she continued.

“The undead Grand Duke, as a Throne-class, deserves our attention, but the Graveyard’s undead need our attention even more.”

Yes, the Graveyard’s undead.

At the Elven Queen’s words, aside from the Abyssal Lord, the other Thrones present nodded slightly in agreement.

“So, you mean not only to deal with the undead Grand Duke Sargus, but to deal with the Graveyard’s undead as a whole?”

“Yes. Our main aim is actually to exterminate the Graveyard’s living force in this world… no, more than that…”

After saying that, Heavenly Father slowly closed his eyes.

“The Graveyard’s soul-summoning is too terrifying… every deceased being can become part of their fighting force. If such undead are allowed to continue unchecked, the entire Main World, aside from us Throne-class, will turn into the undead…”

“So my suggestion is…”

“No need to care what undead Grand Duke Sargus will think. Our goal is to destroy the entire Graveyard, to annihilate that faction…”

A calm, flat voice, but what it conveyed was suffocating.

To destroy the Graveyard, to wipe out that faction?

Reαⅾ оո KαtRеаⅾiոɡCаfе

This decision was no longer merely about pushing back the Graveyard. If Heavenly Father’s words were followed, the Graveyard’s future… would be nothing but annihilation…

“To annihilate the entire Graveyard? I fully agree with this proposal.”

The Stronghold’s Great Prophet was first to express their stance. For them, as long as the Graveyard was driven off, they cared little who did it.

Not to mention such a direct proposal to wipe out an entire faction once and for all.

“Seconded.”

The Kingdom’s King of Knights, who shared this view, nodded to express his position.

“Heavenly Father’s intention is mine as well. I haven’t had much contact with undead, but from frontline intel about them… undead absolutely cannot be allowed to remain. There is no reason for them to exist…”

The Elven Queen’s statement had almost decided the direction of this meeting.

At that, the Abyssal Lord, who had not yet stated his position, let out a low chuckle.

“Hahahahahahaha, interesting, interesting… annihilate the entire Graveyard? I didn’t expect the proposal to annihilate the whole Graveyard. Such a terrifying plan that even makes me tremble… I really, truly can’t wait to see that scene…”

“This plan… I, the Abyssal Lord… agree!”
