Last Embryo - Side Story Compilation Chapter 22

Scathach stopped the G.o.d King and continued her words without a beat.

“Aah, I hope you won’t misunderstand. The “Crown Stone” does not choose Dystopia. Otherwise, there won’t be a reason for him to seal it to this extent.”

“……Ah, that does make sense.”

“That would tell us the only reason he sealed the “Crown Stone”. The one chosen by the “Crown Stone” was an existence that could counter Dystopia.”

Everyone’s face became tense upon those words.

Indeed, if there is a reason why he had to seal the “Crown Stone”, this can only be it.

Though the Demon King stood still even as a formless shadow, but now he moved his finger in response to what appeared to be the clue led everything to this point.

The G.o.d King crossed his arms on the table and looked Croix, Aira and others with a broad grin.

“Looks like my choice to come and meet with you people payed off well. If this is the truth, this “Crown Stone” would become one of the trump cards against Dystopia. Thanks for you telling us. You have my grat.i.tude, warrior of the Celts.”

“You elevated me too much, Your Majesty. However, it’s still soon to confirm that. We must focus on finding a person can unseal the curse on the “Crown Stone”, or the one put the curse on it.”

“Kihaha!! Finding the aforementioned people would really take a toll on our time! Their invasion’s speed this time is abnormal. We won’t even have the luxury to find people without making a haste for it!”

“Don’t worry about that. I’m already have a countermeasure for this situation.”

“They must be out of their mind, to think they offered a negotiation with then G.o.ds of [Tenbu], including the G.o.d King-sama. And what’s more notable, is that they proposed a ceasefire for three months as the condition.”

Hah?, Croix raised his voice in a puzzled tone.

All hostile forces against Dystopia up this point were all consigned by them to oblivion, yet they came and wished for a negotiation. Disregarding the very fact this turn of event could give their enemy an advantage, instead.

There’s no way that won’t rise a suspicion to everyone.

“Hey hey, is that even okay? It’s a trap as far as anyone can see.”

“I am very well aware that was all but a trick to buy time, but the messenger from Bishamonten is already here. Which means Dystopia has accepted our proposal, officially.”

Croix was taken by surprise at the G.o.d King’s information, however there isn’t anyone can break an agreement that was signed on Little Garden.

With this, the G.o.d King and others can finally have the necessary time for them to investigate about the “Crown Stone”.

“Haha…… so they completely messed up with their move in this point of time? Should I consider this as luck being on our side?”

“I don’t think it is that simple, but at least the situation favored us, for now. —That being said, what would be of our objective from this point?”

“Let’s see…… First, we need to find and ask an expert regarding the legends of the “Crown Stone”, any candidate, may I ask?”

Scathach only shook her head lightly to the G.o.d King’s question.

“My deep apology. Us, warriors of Elin has already been destroyed. I don’t even know many Druids knowledgeable about the “Crown Stone” is even alive……”

Scathach shook her head with a complicated expression.

But, that moment—

Canaria, who was staring fixedly on the crack on the “Crown Stone”, muttered a tiny voice.

“……Master. The magicians of Elin might have been all but annihilated, but…… by some chance, there could some survivors outside Elin.”

“Eh?”

“Master, did you know the chronological difference regarding the first Maeve — the “Queen of Elin”?”

Scathach didn’t understand what is Canaria trying to, but still nodded upon Canaria’s question.

This must be the same type of question the G.o.d King asked from Aira.

Canaria wanted to talk about the chronological difference of original era in reality and the false era in legend.

“To be true, even if there was a chronological difference, there is a method to make a person into an actual existence. I think because it is too much of a simple matter that master and everyone else failed to take notice of it.”

Canaria pointed her finger straight and started to list her reasoning.

She began to list her reasoning — about the [survivor of the magicians of Elin] and [the chronological difference of era].
