525 Meeting (Part 2)
Cofuran nodded at Prometheus.
Her gaze seemed very pious at this moment, which made her seem almost holy.
A clear voice then echoed in the very quiet room.
“The shrine faction holds the same view we’ve held from back then. There is no need to communicate with the Knights of the Round Table.”
“We will inform the myriad races about the red flame divine spores, and let their fears make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
“The red flame divine spores will then wreak havoc upon the world below.”
“Didn’t the Knights of the Round Table say that they were doing this for the sake of the world?”
“Then let’s show them the cruel consequences of their so-called fight for justice.”
“If they give up on attacking our moon god race after that, we can once again lock up the Heavenly Dao, and then deal with the red flame divine spores.”
“If they insist on continuing to attack our moon god race, then it’s clear that they want to completely annihilate all of the other races!”
“Under such circumstances, as the moon god race, it is our duty to summon the final form of the red flame divine spores.”
“After that war is over, the remaining myriad races will definitely understand what happened and why it happened. They will understand what we have been protecting them from, and how ignorant the Knights of the Round Table are.”
Prometheus nodded secretly when he heard what she said.
Based on the current situation, Prometheus felt that Cofuran’s plan was the most effective.
This was the best time to activate the red flame divine spores, as the density of the Heavenly Dao in the world below had not reached a critical point.
As such, the red flame divine spores would not be too strong.
Even so, simply seeing them would be enough to tell that the moon god race was not lying about the dangers of the red flame divine spores.
At that point, the situation could still be remedied fairly easily, on the condition that the Knights of the Round Table stopped attacking the moon god race.
The moon god race could then lock up the Heavenly Dao once more and slowly restore all of the moons.
This war would be able to come to a peaceful end.
That being said, although Prometheus agreed with the shrine faction’s stance, he had no say in the final decision. As painful as it was, the three factions all still had different stances, and this matter would remain at a standstill.
Prometheus could only give his final closing statement to the three factions.
“This meeting is now adjourned.”
“Since the three factions cannot reach a consensus at this time, the 53rd joint meeting will end here. The 54th joint meeting will be held as scheduled next month. This series of meetings on this matter will continue until a conclusion is decided on this matter.”
After Prometheus finished, he sighed, indicating that it was all over.
As expected, the meeting had ended in a stalemate.
The Great Lord watched as the members of the Elder Council left. In the end, he could not hold back his inner emotions and said to the eight members of the Elder Council, “Elders, I still respect you very much.”
“I also greatly respect your opinions, and believe that your faction is a pillar of the moon god race, and that you’ve done much good for our race in the past.”
The Great Lord looked at the few great elders who slowly turned their heads. His gaze was quite fierce at this time.
“However, I will be thoroughly investigating you. I have at least that much authority.”
“If I discover that any of you are connected to the Knights of the Round Table, I will impeach you and remove you from power.”
“If I discover that you have betrayed the moon god race and leaked our secrets, then don’t blame me for sending you to the beacon tower!”
After the eight elders heard this, they did not show any signs of anger.
The eight silver-haired old men bowed deeply in the direction of the Great Lord and did not say a word as they left.
When Prometheus heard the Great Lord’s words, he could clearly sense his anger.
However, the moon god race still had to abide by its laws and protocols. That was how a civilization was governed properly.
‘The Great Lord is clearly angry at the Elder Council over the moon god race’s safety.’
‘He’s still honest and upright.’
‘I take back my previous words. He’s not a frivolous man.’
‘However, that does not change the predicament that we’re in.’
Then, just as Prometheus was about to leave the room, the Great Lord came to him.
