Chapter 931 – War is Expensive
Solara's jaw tightened.
Vizreel grunted like he hated how correct that was.
Lux continued, voice smooth. "War is expensive. Public. Unstable. It creates too many variables. Kaelmor is not trying to destroy the board." He looked toward the floating image of Kaelmor. "He is trying to own it."
Celestaria's gaze did not move from him.
Lux let the silence stretch for one breath. Then said carefully, "He may want power from a powerful heavenly creature."
The phrase landed like a blade placed gently on a table.
The council members went still.
Lux did not look at them.
His eyes went to Celestaria.
Because among everyone in that room…
She was the most suitable target.
High Custodian of Progression Paths.
A goddess with authority over growth, advancement, structure, potential, development.
If the myth was about multiplying demonic power through divine authority…
Celestaria was not merely powerful.
She was useful.
Terrifyingly useful.
