"And Zipple? Do you agree?"

"...we agree. It would have been better if you had told us in advance."

When Ronil spoke, Octavia seemed to calm her anger. Ronil didn't seem like her superior, but he wasn't in a position to be ignored either.

"Consider it the price for kidnapping the truth dragon in the past."

As they began to enter the conference room, the crowd waiting outside cheered.

Not only Tikan, but journalists from all over the world, except for Hufester, had gathered.

They were sketching ceaselessly and taking notes of their appearance in their notebooks.

It wasn't an unofficial meeting.

The conference room was filled with refreshments and simple food prepared by Latrie.

Sandra had gone crazy over the cookies when she had visited Tikan with Beradin last time, but now she didn't react.

Instead, surprisingly, Octavia's eyes widened in surprise after taking a bite of the cookie.

During the brief meal, formalities were exchanged, and as soon as it ended, Euria entered the conference room.

At just thirteen years old, Euria stood confidently before the supposed world conquerors, with an unyielding gaze.

"h.e.l.lo, I'm Euria Alfreon, who has come as a censor for today's meeting. You can have a comfortable conversation, and ask me to inspect it when you deem necessary."

"I am Latrie, Euria's guardian dragon. If a situation arises where there may be problems with the censorship process, I will let you know in advance," Latrie added.

At both their bold and friendly self-introduction, Jin smiled wholeheartedly without realizing it.

"Starting a meeting crucial to the fate of the world with cute orphans makes me smile."

"I've been bothered by the use of the term 'orphans' since before."

"It reminds me that there is a world where people can't even use the word 'orphan.'"

"What does 'orphan' mean?"

Jin had heard the term 'orphan' used by Witch Heluram on Solderet's recording device.

It didn't seem like a simple metaphor, Jin had been curious about it already.

He remembered how Quikantel had told Murakan that the expression seemed strangely familiar to him.

"It means exactly what it sounds like. It refers to someone who has lost both parents."

"You shouldn't ignore that Euria is the daughter of Sir Kashimir and Lady Alisa."

At those words, Orgal smiled significantly.

"Before your biological parents existed, there were parents who brought you into existence."

"You mean G.o.d?"

"It's a presence beyond."

"Have Sir Bishkel and Margiella received this information from Orgal?"

"I've got it!"

"Euria."

At Jin's call, Euria nodded.

"Sir Bishkel and Lady Margiella, please look into my eyes for a moment. If it's true, a blue light in the form of a rope will appear between the three of us, and if it's false, a red rope will form."

Euria resonated with Latrie and met the eyes of the two, and after about three minutes, a blue rope formed between them.

"They're not lying, Brother Jin."

Even if what Orgal said was false, at least they explained it to Bishkel and Margiella that way.

Orgal didn't seem willing to give them false information.

"I have no intention of telling a lie, even if there's no truth contractor, Jin Runcandel. The reason the world is in its current state is because the parents of life have perished."

"It's a nonsensical story. Anyway, it seems to be related to the purpose of Kinzelo that I've heard about."

"It's something that's beside the point. First of all, why don't we take a look at each other's cards? I'll refrain from using the word 'orphan' in the future."

"I agree. Then first... let's start by finding out the damage situation of each faction. I'll go first. Except for my wound and the wounds of Talaris-nim, and the wounds of the snow toad Mort, the Vamel alliance and its allies have suffered no casualties."

"Has the master of the hidden palace recovered?"

"He couldn't fight due to internal injuries and chaos invasion. We don't know how long it will take for him to recover."

"Euria-nim, please confirm."

As Ronil said, Euria made eye contact with Jin this time. Naturally, a blue light appeared.

"Zipple lost about 70% of its fleet, and Kadun-nim was severely injured. Additionally, about 300 elite magicians died, including 27 members of the Spectre squadron, and about a thousand more casualties occurred, but most were resurrected with the demon G.o.d's...o...b.. However, it will take us two months to restore the fleet."

The damages suffered by Zipple, as identified by the seven-colored peac.o.c.k, were around 50% loss of its fleet, but both Zipple and Kinzelo had been engaged in battles with the Ram for some time, even after Jin had escaped from Hufester. In the process, they suffered an additional 20% loss.

"Your patriarch did not partic.i.p.ate in this battle. But I'm curious. Did Zipple's patriarch suffer any damage in this battle?"

Ronil pondered for a moment before replying:

"...he was struck. But I can't give you any more details."

"Euria."

"Yes, please wait a moment."

Jin requested confirmation not because he thought there would be lies in the damage situation.

It was hard to believe that a fleet of that size would be restored in just two months.

A blue thread formed between Ronil and Euria.

"It's incredible that the entire fleet can be recovered in just two months. It's impossible with just manpower."

Jin didn't ask Ronil about the method.

Euria was only here to confirm the damages of each faction, not to unearth all their secrets.

After all, there were no guarantees that the other party would respond.

"Kinzelo lost around 10% of the fleet and about 1,500 ma.s.s-produced legend-type golems. I also took a hit, but I should be able to recover in about three years even without special measures."

"3 years? Are you saying that if we have to wage the final battle against Rosa in her, you won't be able to partic.i.p.ate in full condition? There's a high probability of that. We're in a situation where we can't even guarantee tomorrow, let alone three years."

"Yes. If I had been in perfect condition from the start, things wouldn't have turned out like this. You may not know it, but she's no longer human. She has become a G.o.ddess."

"A G.o.ddess?"

"She is an Evil G.o.ddess, born from Chaos. And everyone seems worried about when Rosa will move, let me tell you one thing. It will take at least a year before she moves herself. Until then, there will be no threat of world destruction."

"Still, it's less than three years, knowing that she can recover without special measures. She probably has a way to accelerate her recovery if the worst-case scenario happens."

"That's right."

"What do you base your belief that Rosa will take at least a year to move on?"

"As a G.o.ddess, don't you think there's an adaptation phase? She also needs to supply offerings for divine powers. As you know, Rosa and the Protofa use all life, including humans, as sacrifices. Do you know that on that day, all humans in the city of Kalon will become sacrifices?"

"...I expected as much."

"In the future, more lives, including humans, will become sacrifices for Rosa. If we want to reduce that number even a little, we must fight only once."

"I guess we must strike when we can defeat the Garden of Swords in one blow," said Hedo.

"Yes, Zipple's butler. If it doesn't matter how many humans die, it's fine to attempt multiple attacks."

"Putting aside ethical issues, it's also possible that complications may arise if we provoke Rosa and the speed of obtaining sacrifices unnecessarily increases."

This time Octavia spoke up, and Orgal nodded.

"That's obvious. But there's something more important."

Orgal's gaze fell on Jin.

"Jin Runcandel must be able to defeat Rosa in a one-on-one battle."

This meant nothing less than that.

"Is it because I'm immune to Chaos?"

That Jin was immune to Chaos was no longer a secret.

Everyone saw it when Jin directly faced Rosa in the Garden of Swords.

Orgal nodded.

"Because you are the only one immune to Chaos. In the current world, probably only you can kill Rosa Runcandel. If there are no special means in Zipple..."

"Euria."

As previously verified by Orphan Explanation, this time Bishkel and Margiella were also verified on behalf of Orgal.

Once again, everything Orgal said turned out to be true.

"If one is not immune to chaos, then even if there is a person who becomes a genesis knight, will they not be able to kill Rosa?"

"Yes, if your father could return from the Black Sea immediately and join the battle, the situation might change. But aren't you currently unable to contact him?"

"Yes."

Jin didn't bother to hide the content about Cyron this time.

This time, Ronil requested verification.

Zipple had long wanted to know about the communication between Cyron and Runcandel.

Of course, a blue thread was revealed between Jin and Euria.

There was a moment of silence.

"It seems like my shoulders weigh a little more since I'm the only one who can face Rosa. Kinzelo still has a variable called Orgal's recovery, but does Zipple have no moves to counter?"

"...there is."

"I didn't expect to be so relieved to hear that the enemy has hidden strength. Please tell me what it is. I suppose it's a question that needs an answer. After all, we're dealing with the public enemy."

"It's manipulation of history. However, it's a means that will never be possible without your partner, the survivor of Histor."

Jin immediately changed expression and asked, "Sir Ronil, does Zipple now know the whereabouts of the survivor of Histor?".
