Chapter 67: What the Hell Was This
After some time, the Stone King and the Emperor's meeting was over.
The Emperor summoned all the commanders on hologram to revise whether everything was perfect or not and to ensure there was not a single mistake.
Every commander now reached the battlefield that was once a peaceful small village. A few hours ago, Commander Adrain said that they were ready for attack, and when the morning came, they would attack.
On the other side, all the princes were on their way. They were attending the meeting while traveling.
And the SHO heroes would come in the afternoon, so they had to fight without holding back. SHO heroes would back them up, and the SHO heroes that were in Diamond Heart would rescue civilians if the Diamond Heart army failed.
And they failed to get the status of the Stone Plant King and all his main fighters' status, so they had to fight wisely. The Stone Plant King had already removed the device that checked their status.
That was why, when the Emperor knew, he destroyed the hologram projector in anger.
"And do any of you know where Arthur is?" the Emperor asked all commanders, princes, and princesses.
All commanders said in unison, "We didn't find him."
Two princesses that were in the capital also started preparing to move to the battlefield with their massive armies consisting of two hundred million soldiers.
They were now attending meetings and waiting for the meeting to end. Once the meeting was over, they quickly rushed toward the battlefield.
The Emperor sent half of his army to the battlefield, and some kings from the Central Continent also sent their armies.
Now the total army size that came from the Central Continent for the fight was eight billion soldiers, along with almost fifty percent of the Diamond Heart Emperor's soldiers.
The total army now consisted of thirty billion soldiers.
Nearby villagers were already transferred to safe locations.
The Emperor's main concern was to save Arthur, and he had only one option to accomplish this task, by ordering them to save Arthur at any cost and by telling them the details about the deal he made.
He wanted his deal with the SHO Director to remain secret, but he had to tell his commanders and his children.
When the Emperor was about to speak and tell them to save Arthur, Minister March came and said, "You have to watch this."
One of the scouts returned after investigating and said that the Emperor had to watch this at any cost.
The Emperor immediately understood that this was urgent. He knew his scouts and Minister March would never disturb him when he was in an important meeting unless it was necessary.
He quickly took the recording box from Minister March's hand and opened it. Only one thing came to his mind.
What the hell was this?
Now in the Central Continent
Valvorine Kingdom
In the capital city of the Valvorine Kingdom, one small girl less than the age of ten was running in the market. She was wearing a hoodie that covered her whole body, and her face was hidden.
Three people dressed as soldiers were chasing her, but all attempts at catching her were in vain.
One soldier shouted, "Princess, return to the castle. The minister is waiting for you."
The girl who was running was the first princess of the Valvorine Kingdom. She was chosen as the queen of this kingdom. She became the youngest queen in Duskwild history, and her name was Lumire.
Her entire family was assassinated by a hidden power of the Central Continent, but her aunt, who was married to the Diamond Heart Emperor, helped her become queen before falling ill.
She became queen at the age of five, and the Diamond Heart Emperor gave their kingdom his protection and stationed a massive army to help if any kingdom tried to invade them.
He also supported them financially so she could run the kingdom smoothly.
He also ensured that there was no hidden enemy left in the kingdom and issued an order that anyone who betrayed the queen would be personally punished by the Diamond Heart Emperor.
Now she was running because she had become bored listening to minister reports and details about the kingdom.
So the minister ordered the soldiers to convince her, using any means except force, to return to the castle.
The little girl quickly understood and ordered the soldiers that if any of them caught her without using arms, she would return to the castle.
And now they were chasing her all over the place, hoping the queen would get tired after running and stop.
The little girl was enjoying herself. She spent all her days in the castle. She could not play with other children.
She was locked most of the time in the castle because of her safety. Sometimes Princess Celestia and Princess Seraphina came to play with her, but she was not satisfied.
She wanted a normal life, but she knew her dream would never become reality.
This little girl did not know that in the future she would become the person hated by all goddesses who loved Ank, and by anyone who loved Ank. Even Maya was not spared.
She would get a title that every goddess who loved Ank and Maya wanted to obtain.
She would unknowingly link her fate to Ank, and then she decided that she would not become queen.
And this led toward one of the greatest wars in the history of the universe.
A war that would shake the entire Universe.
In the far future
Lumire was now in empty space, standing in front of Creation.
She was now at the age of twenty two, with sky blue eyes and hair. She had become so beautiful that many goddesses envied her, but they could not do anything.
"Lumire, congratulations on achieving what no one else has achieved."
"And thank you for fulfilling my wish."
Lumire was very happy to see that Creation was supporting her. Before she could reply,
Boom.
Someone punched her.
"How could you do this to us?"
Then more than ten figures emerged, surrounding her from all corners.
"We treated you as our little sister, and you betrayed us."
Before Lumire could reply, Creation came forward and said, "Stop bullying my daughter in law."
"If you do not stop, you will be responsible for what happens next."
