At this time, although Haru also looked down on the Demon Emperor, he was just a 'weak' High God. Not to mention him, even if the weakest Demon Monarchs arrived, the current Haru wouldn't be able to counter them. Therefore, in the face of the 'compliments' from Celestia and Svetlana, he could only sit silently.
Whenever the Angels used to call him 'Lord Almighty' or the 'Creation God' he didn't think too much about it. For him, it was just a title that the Angels bestowed upon him, but only now did he finally understand that it meant an unparalleled sense of responsibility.
He internally resolved to at least reach the early-stages of the Supreme God Tier before the war so that he could at least fight one or two levels above that with the help of the dozens of Divine Laws and make sure that Celestia also regained her peak strength to at least fight the Demon Emperor on equal terms but this was not an easy task.
For now Haru, he could only take one step at a time and focus on the Demon Slayer Tournament. He asked, "Your Holiness, the Goddess of Fate, when will the Demonic Army begin their invasion?"
"It's hard to say." Svetlana shook her head, "The future is full of infinite possibilities. Even a seemingly small decision made by us may alter the future. I can only tell Your Majesty that when the Blood Moon changes, you will be able to see the Demon Army."
Hearing this, Haru couldn't help but frown. The last time he asked this question, Svetlana had given the same answer. That's why, he has specially instructed multiple Gods and Demigods to rotate shifts and monitor the Blood Moon but there hasn't been any change so far.
Svetlana added, "Actually, even if Your Majesty knows when the war begins, it won't be of much use. You should still focus on your development path."
"Indeed." Haru nodded. The later those Demons arrived, the better it was for him.
…
"If Your Majesty permits, then I'll take my leave." Svetlana smiled and said, "Also you can always instruct Her Holiness Celestia to contact me anytime by using my Divine Mark."
Haru asked bluntly, "I'm very curious, why did Your Holiness and the Elven Goddess of Nature, Her Holiness Elunara leave their Divine Marks in Angel City?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Elunara and I have no ill will towards you!" Svetlana explained, "In fact, it's not just Angel City, we have also left our Divine Marks at the territory of some other Castle Lords as well."
Haru wondered, "What is the reason for that?"
Svetlana answered, "All of those Castle Lords have great growth potential. With our Divine Marks, those Castle Lords will not be attacked by most Gods of Faith."
Although the Supreme Gods had an agreement that no God of Faith would attack Castle Lords, and they would restrict their subordinates as well, nobody could trust many of them, especially the Evil Gods.
As for the Great Aetherium, which was also 'marked' by them but was attacked by over one hundred Beast Gods and two Evil High Gods, that was a special exception. If Haru did not have so many Godheads as trophies, those guys wouldn't have risked offending the two Goddesses.
"So that's what it is." Haru was stunned, but internally thanked the Goddesses.
Before Svetlana left, Haru suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your Holiness, how has Lily been recently?"
He hasn't seen that little girl in recent days. He guessed that she should be preparing for breaking through to the Lower True God Tier.
Sure enough, Svetlana answered with a smile, "Lily has become a Goddess and is consolidating her strength. When that is done, I will continue to improve her strength until she becomes a High Goddess."
Hearing this, Haru sighed. This little girl was really too lucky. From the beginning of their arrival to the Endless Continent, till now, she hasn't had to participate in any war, yet she was the second Castle Lord after Haru to have reached the Lower True God Tier.
Haru asked curiously, "Although I'm thankful for your help to Lily, I'm also curious why you're doing that."
Svetlana answered truthfully, "In the long river of fate, except for Your Majesty, Lily's fate is the most dazzling among all Castle Lords."
She smiled and continued, "Unfortunately, Your Majesty is a male God. Otherwise, I would've definitely chosen you to become the next generation of the Goddess of Fate after me."
"…" Haru's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that this Goddess was actually training Lily as her successor. No wonder she was so attentive.
