Suddenly, a thick fog enveloped the Mortal Realm. A crimson glow illuminates the fog, resembling endless streams of blood flowing down from the sky.Everyone was aware of what had occurred, yet at the same time, no one truly understood it. All they could do was look up at the sky, which had long been obscured by thick fog. They sincerely prayed that Remus would be the one who triumphed in the end.In the command room at the border, Kaiser and others were gathered here not because they wanted to, but because they had to. Regardless of the strange occurrences in the skies or intense battles in the Upper Realms, they had a duty to protect the Mortal Realm.At this moment, they weren't discussing Remus, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't have the time to.Gabriela began by saying, "Mr. President, the military department has fully taken control of the situation."They've conducted a comprehensive sweep in Estrary to ensure that no weapons or ammunition have left t

In the Underworld, a loud noise echoed through the sky. Unexpectedly, there seemed to be a movement in the air, as if a breeze from the Mortal Realm had arisen.In the Great Palace, Roman stood in the courtyard, frowning. Even though he had long known about the conflict in the Upper Realms and the mortals' migration, it was still hard to believe that the day had truly arrived. Now, he faced a moment where a choice had to be made."Your Majesty, at this rate, the Underworld will definitely be affected. You need to make a decision quickly.""The Mortal Realm has begun to move, and many people are entering other countries. At this rate, the souls in the Underworld won't be able to reincarnate, which will inevitably lead to a buildup of spirits, causing significant problems for the Underworld.""Moreover, if the specters find out that reincarnation isn't possible, it will surely lead to chaos. The vast Underworld would fall into disorder and become unmanageable.""Your Majesty, we are

Seeing that no one was speaking, Roman asked, "What's the plan? To ease the turmoil in the Underworld, the most straightforward approach is to address the second point—the Underworld's involvement in the Mortal Realm."We need to stop the people from continuing their migration and ensure they remain within Darsia, achieving a balance between shadow and light."So, are you all in favor of getting involved in the Mortal Realm's matters? Or are you against it and prefer to let things be?"The four ghost kings actually weren't concerned about what their answers might be. After all, the mortals' migration had already seriously impacted the Underworld. The real reason Roman was holding the meeting was simply to justify taking action.Indeed, William, being the first to speak, gave an expected response. "I believe we should take action, and it should be immediate. The migration has already begun and is progressing very quickly. If we delay any longer, the consequences could be unimaginabl

The four ghost kings were also taken aback and instinctively looked at Roman.There was really no need to explain anything—instead, they could have just brushed it off with a random excuse. If Roman really wanted to explain Grant's absence to the crowd, he could have merely said that he was communicating with the three Immortal Emperors.But why use the term "kill" directly? That was too straightforward!Roman stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly oblivious to their gazes, focusing instead on observing the expressions of those present. Although the final decision rested with him, he wanted to assess the demeanor and attitudes of the majority there.Even if this wouldn't ultimately determine the outcome, it could at least ensure that, once everything was over, there would be a few more people to share the responsibility with him.Indeed, everyone present grasped the key point of this statement and understood the meaning behind it.If Grant assassinated the three Immortal

Outside Netherhold, the Immortal Emperors' gazes remained fixed on Grant, filled with questions, caution, and scrutiny.They had been telling him about the Upper Realms and Remus, even going as far as to confess that they wanted to join Roman, completely forgetting about his alignment.Grant was so nervous that cold sweat was running down his face, and he was even trembling.Their position was clear—they believed that Francis might not be a match for Remus. Even if they were evenly matched, it would likely result in mutual destruction. Therefore, the safest move would be to side with Roman to ensure their survival.Now, they were going to question Grant's alignment. How should he respond?He had told them that Roman was planning to betray Francis as soon as he came out. That was the equivalent of admitting his own betrayal of Roman, which clearly put him at odds with the Immortal Emperors.Would they believe it if he said it was just a slip of the tongue or a joke? What should he
