Chapter 190 Chaos To Arrive
Emilia licked her lips, slowly moving towards the slumbering Banning.
Instinctively, she felt that only by nestling close to him could she alleviate the burning desire within her.
The mysterious potion's effect once again took control of Emilia's mind. By the time she regained her senses, she found herself laying atop Banning, completely naked.
At this point, she couldn't care less if her movements would wake Banning; all she desired was to intertwine with him.
She could feel her feverish body as if it was melting, and only by continuously caressing Banning's body could she assuage her burning sensation.
Meanwhile, aside from Emilia, there was another female awake in the room: the Stupid Loli, Priscilla Nissen.
The stupid loli was torn, wanting to watch but also feeling shy, so she covered her eyes and peeked through the gaps in her fingers... Of course, this is not to say she had a physical body, it's a metaphor.
Stupid loli couldn't help but marvel. Emilia was only two years older than Avril and Viviana, yet she appeared much more mature.
The allure of her developed figure would make everyone sigh in admiration, not just boys but girls too, exclaiming her as a beauty of the world, with radiant skin, that would ensnare one's soul.
As for whether to wake Tyler, the stupid loli thought there was no need to even question it.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Why should I wake him up? థ౪థ
It's not as if he were under attack. (✪ω✪)
Let him continue sleeping. d(d'∀')
In the view of the stupid loli, Tyler had had a hard day, dealing with the "Purple Trial," the "Singular Demon God," and the "Level 73 Witch Swordsman"... It's about time for him to have a proper "rest"!
— (Tyler, you should thank me, the great Priscilla Nissen!)

The dawn's radiance cast its light upon the land.
At such an early hour, the majority of the inhabitants of the Prison Star were only just stirring from their slumber. Yet, within a clandestine edifice subterranean, the leaders of the five kingdoms constituting the Human Alliance had already convened.
The urgency of their assembly was spurred by an exigent event that had transpired the previous evening.
"The Singular Demon God - The Unutterable Name appeared suddenly last night in Sunny Town, within the jurisdiction of our Lord Azure Lizard... I trust you all have received reports from your respective surveillance agencies."
As the "party concerned," the reigning monarch of the Wildforest, or, Wester Kingdom, Darmodar Das III, initiated the discussion in his capacity as the presiding speaker.
The remaining leaders of the four kingdoms observed him impassively, their poker faces masking their contemplation and calculations.
Throughout history, at regular intervals, the surveillance agencies of the five kingdoms have detected the sudden appearance of the Singular Demon God somewhere within the Human Alliance.
Since the Singular Demon God always emerges in remote locations, releasing a flame pillar from the sky before promptly disappearing, the five kingdoms have gradually 'acclimatized'.
Their 'acclimatization' doesn't denote indifference towards the Singular Demon God, but rather, their impotence to retaliate.
The Singular Demon God's appearances are unpredictable, and each instance lasts no longer than a minute. Even if the agencies could detect the massive energy of the Singular Demon God instantaneously, it would be impossible for their forces to arrive at the scene within a minute.
Moreover, even if they could reach the scene within a minute, or happened to encounter the Singular Demon God by chance, they would be powerless against her.
Hence, the five kingdoms have adopted similar defensive measures, which involve providing each kingdom's leader with a formidable guard squad.
As long as they can withstand a minute under the Singular Demon God, the leaders need not worry about being suddenly killed.
However, the Singular Demon God's appearance last night disrupted the usual pattern - she appeared prematurely!
Although this time, the Singular Demon God's stay in Sunny Town did not exceed a minute, it incited panic among the leaders of the five kingdoms.
If the established pattern could be easily broken by the Singular Demon God, the 'one-minute' time limit might also be a fallacy, rendering the lives of the leaders as precarious as a candle in the wind.
"Dear all, I am not an alarmist. But if we continue to act independently and hinder each other, we'll eventually be assassinated in our sleep!"
At the peak of his impassioned speech, Darmodar Das III slammed his fist on the table. He had been awoken from his slumber last night and still felt a lingering fear!
The other leaders were not swayed by Darmodar Das III's emotional outburst. They knew his emotions were a performance. The leaders assembled for the meeting with the sole purpose of leveraging their interests on this knife's edge.
The focal point of the leaders' concerns today was what new topics would be introduced at the meeting, and how it would impact their kingdoms' interests.
After his impassioned speech, Darmodar Das III reached the final segment of his address, ready to reveal the true purpose of convening the five national heads.
"Gentlemen, for the rise and fall, the life and death of the Human Alliance!"
"I, Darmodar Das III, the reigning monarch of the Wildforest Kingdom, hereby propose to you all!"
"Let us abandon fruitless strife and unite the strongest forces of the five nations to prioritize the conquest of the 'Ancient Labyrinth'. Only in this way can we wield the 'Light of the Divine Weapon' against the Singular Demon God!!!"
·
Simultaneously, on the other side of the Prison Star, within the Court of Abyssal Demons of the Abyssal Empire, another clandestine 'discussion' was in progress.
Contrary to the Temple of Myriad Demons used for grand congregations, the Court of Abyssal Demons was a place accessible only to a select few high-ranking demons.
At this very moment, within the grand hall of the Court of Abyssal Demons, adorned with numerous skulls, only the Singular Demon God - The Unutterable Name and The Eternal Winter Lord were seated.
Though termed a 'discussion', it was more akin to an interrogation.
The Singular Demon God sat on her elevated throne, gazing down at The Eternal Winter Lord, who was beginning to irk her.
If not for the substantial utility he still held for her, she could easily crush him with a mere thought.
Throughout history, The Singular Demon God had always been intolerant of betrayal, and now, The Eternal Winter Lord was under suspicion of such a crime.
Considering the substantial contributions The Eternal Winter Lord had made to the Abyssal Empire and the evilkind, The Singular Demon God resolved to afford him an opportunity to explain.
"Eternal Winter Lord... Did you sleep well last night?"
The unexpected concern of The Singular Demon God, coupled with the eerie environment within the Demon Court, rendered her words particularly chilling.
The Eternal Winter Lord was no fool, and upon discerning the situation, he immediately surmised that something had happened and, most importantly, that The Singular Demon God suspected his loyalty.
"The grand plan of the evilkind is yet to be realized, how could I rest? May I know what Your Majesty summons me for?"
The Eternal Winter Lord asserted his conscience was clear, yet he also comprehended the proverb that "walking with the powerful is like walking with a tiger".
From the moment The Singular Demon God began suspecting him, his neck had essentially been placed on the chopping block.
As for why The Singular Demon God suddenly acted thus, The Eternal Winter Lord could only think of one reason.
— (Banning... I've underestimated you.)
— (Who would've thought that from thousands of miles away... you could threaten my life.)
