The remaining Apostles of Destruction were dealt with, with the last one proving to be surprisingly weak. It attempted to escape by breaking through a wall, but was thwarted. As Alidus and Lancelot attacked, a third party intervened, stabbing the Apostle with a divine energy dagger. Weakened, the Apostle was eventually killed by Alidus and Lancelot. With the Apostles gone, the corruption energy monsters flooded in, but were unable to breach the corridor of divine flames.

"So you’re saying that there was this breeding facility that was hidden inside of the cave."

Without knowing why, I just didn’t like the way that they said this.

But I kept a calm expression on my face as I looked at the representatives in front of me and said, "It was a place that was filled with corruption energy monsters and what seemed to be new Apostles of Destruction. Based on what they were doing, it really seemed like they were planning on creating a new member of the Four Omens."

When I confirmed this, the expressions on all of their faces looked ugly.

After all, every single person here had experienced the power of the Four Omens whether directly or indirectly.

They knew what kind of threat a new member of the Four Omens would pose if something like this were to appear.

At the same time, they slowly understood why the forces of Destruction had seemingly disappeared like this.

It seemed like they had taken the destruction of the members of their Four Omens very seriously. The status that the Four Omens had among the force of Destruction was much greater than they had anticipated.

Only this was bad news for the racial alliance.

They didn’t know what would happen when the new members of the Four Omens appeared, but everyone knew that it wouldn’t be simple.

"This should be the only one right?"

There was hopeful thinking that came from the representatives that were attending the meeting, but the looks on their faces made it very clear that they didn’t believe this at all. They were certain that this wouldn’t be the only place that was currently creating new members of the Four Omens.

It was just that they hadn’t been able to find anything so far.

Even this one stronghold that they were using was something that they had found by luck. Otherwise they certainly wouldn’t have been able to find this and stopped it before a new member of the Four Omens was born.

"It takes time."

When I said this, everyone that had been letting their minds wander suddenly focused on me.

I was there and had stopped the new member of the Four Omens from being born, so my words carried a certain amount of weight. They all recognized that I had some idea of how the forces of Destruction created these new members of the Four Omens.

"It’s a simple case of survival of the fittest, that’s how they create the new members of the Four Omens. But this isn’t something that can be done that easily, so it takes time for them to even create enough Apostles of Destruction to achieve something like this. That is why they created that stronghold in the first place."

Though they didn’t see what had happened inside of the cave, they had seen the things that had been brought out. With their own specialists telling them what they had found, they knew that these things were used to incubate.

As for what they were being used to incubate, that also wasn’t a surprise.

"So we have time to search for them."

There were ugly expressions that appeared the moment that this was said, but this was something that had to be said. It was the main reason that I had given them that long explanation in the first place.

"How are we even certain that there are these spots in the first place?"

Of course there would be those that doubted this, but it was more about self preservation at this point. It was more that they wanted to deny the possibility of these places existing.

Only that wasn’t actually helpful at this point.

There were those that seemed to agree with this one representative, but most people had already accepted that there would be other spots like this hidden on the continent.

The problem was that so far, they hadn’t found a single trace of these spots.

It wasn’t as if the racial alliance hadn’t been searching for these places, it was just that they had never been able to find them before. It was that these places had been so well hidden that they left no traces at all.

Which did make sense since if they had been easy to find, it wouldn’t be the right place to do something as important as this. These places had to be well hidden so that those new members of the Four Omens could be born.

"We have to send out the full force of the racial alliance and search all those spots that we missed before."

"Are you accusing us of slacking off?"

That one representative that had been denying everything couldn’t take it anymore as he accused me of this.

However, all it took was a single glance from me to force him to calm down.

Then ignoring him, I said to everyone, "We have to search much deeper than before. If we don’t, then we certainly won’t be able to find anything this time."

Grim expressions appeared on their faces after my voice fell.

It wasn’t as if they couldn’t understand what I was saying, it was just that this was hard for them to accept. Only no matter how hard it was for them to accept, this was something that they had to accept in the end.

In fact, the longer that they stalled, the worse that it would all become.

So in the end, there was no choice but to agree with my proposal.

There was some resistance from those that denied it to the end, but the majority agreed with this proposal in the end. With the majority agreeing, it didn’t matter what those people thought anymore since it was majority rules.

Only before the meeting ended, there was one thing that I had to add.

"Some time has already passed now and we don’t know the situation of the forces of Destruction. It’s possible that there have already been members of the Four Omens that have already been born."

Once again, ugly expressions appeared on everyone’s faces.
