Leo Ray and Fei’er delved into speculations about parallel universes, unraveling mysteries tied to the Era of Blankness and differing time flows between realms. They confirmed consistent timelines in areas where Otherworldly Lords arrive, contrasting with divine-watched universes lacking such arrivals. Leo Ray enlisted Fei’er’s aid to restore the appearances of Broken Valley Alliance leaders, and they set off immediately, arriving at the Ice Stone City Command Hall where Moli enthusiastically greeted them amid lighthearted banter over ages and sizes. An unexpected report then interrupted the moment.

Your Majesty, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance have dispatched messages nearly at the same time, requesting Your Majesty's presence to discuss critical issues. The liaison officer's tone carried such pressing urgency that it feels gravely serious.

Within the bright and expansive Command Hall of Ice Stone City, Elder Bing saluted by pressing a hand to his chest while delivering the report to Leo Ray.

Oh? It appears the alliance heads Loris and Sina have obtained fresh intelligence.

After a brief moment of reflection, Leo Ray nodded toward Elder Bing and remarked, Elder, given that invitations arrived from both sides concurrently, why not have them come to us instead? Ice Stone City is a place they're well acquainted with by now.

As Your Majesty decrees.

Elder Bing promptly obeyed, spinning around to execute the instructions.

Moments later, by the gates of Ice Stone City, Leo Ray encountered the Rainforest Fortress contingent first, under Loris's leadership.

A grave and anxious expression crossed the lion-resembling features of the rainforest chief. Spotting Leo Ray, mere salutations were exchanged before Ice Stone City's domain materialized once more within the Desert Alliance's lands.

As the portal swung open anew, Sina's team entered too, their expressions stern and strides quickened.

Why have you come as well?

Catching sight of one another, members from Loris's and Sina's groups instinctively creased their foreheads a bit.

Despite Leo Ray's efforts in bridging their divide, these two stubborn alliances weren't clashing like oil and water anymore, yet full mutual faith remained elusive.

It was I who called upon both alliance leaders to gather here.

Advancing with a grin, Leo Ray inclined his head to the assembly: Facing the relentless witch demon and demon forces, we placed our trust in one another's support, and events confirmed we're dependable and courageous allies. This solidarity allowed us to ultimately shift the battle's momentum in our favor, correct?

Summoning Loris and Sina together served Leo Ray's aim to further alleviate the friction between them.

Leo Ray knew well that the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and Desert Alliance stood at the summit among third-tier powers.

To advance beyond that, he'd have to not just fold them into his influence but ensure they united firmly side by side.

If it's Your Majesty's decision, I hold no reservations.

Loris voiced his stance right away upon Leo Ray's statement, without pause.

I follow Your Majesty's will.

Sina's furrowed brows eased, ceasing any opposition to Loris's followers.

Through a chain of incidents, attitudes of rainforest head Loris and desert head Sina toward Leo Ray had flipped entirely—from early dismissiveness and scorn to near-total submission.

In truth, Leo Ray hadn't just rescued them, safeguarding their positions and alliances, but had single-handedly vanquished the demon—a feat beyond their wildest capabilities or boldest dreams.

Excellent, we'll converse as we proceed.

With Leo Ray's words concluding, Jasmine swung her Magic Wand, teleporting the entire party to the Command Hall's doorway in the heart of the city.

To speak plainly to you two leaders, your dispatches reached me nearly together, suggesting a link, hence my choice to convene you both.

Crossing into the Command Hall, Leo Ray gestured with a nod for all to take seats around the arranged meeting table.

Right then, Loris and Sina alike adopted a grave and strained air, burdened by worries. They acknowledged Leo Ray's explanation with nods.

Seated at last, Leo Ray skipped pleasantries and addressed Loris initially: Leader of the Rainforest, you begin.

Your Majesty, I'll be direct.

Loris adjusted the dense fur along his neck before launching into his concern.

Truthfully speaking to Your Majesty, word has just arrived that the neighboring Half-Titan Clan to our Rainforest Fortress Alliance has covertly shifted three top-tier Fifth-Order Legions and a million-man Fourth-Order Legion right to our frontier. Such a move is unprecedented!

Loris's revelation prompted furrowed brows among all attendees, instantly thickening the room's tension into a weighty pall.

Loris's reference to the Half-Titans denotes a sprawling empire, a true second-rank force boasting depths far surpassing third-tier entities.

True to their title, Half-Titans carry diluted Titan bloodlines, blended reportedly with human heritage, akin fundamentally to Half-Elves.

Undeniably, though, Half-Titans have superbly retained the Titan Clan's might. Masters of war axes and colossal blades, they tower above five meters, forming imposing colossal figures.

Armed with such might, plus mobilizing three Fifth-Order Legions, overrunning all third-tier powers seems entirely feasible.

Indeed, one Fifth-Order Legion alone could overpower a hundred Third-Order ones and hold off more than twenty near-Seventh-Order powerhouses, showcasing its dominance—let alone backing it with a million Fourth-Order troops.

The hall's stifling vibe even drew a trace of gravity to Jasmine's ashen features, underscoring that this posed a profoundly challenging, potentially fatal threat to Leo Ray.
