Chapter 1146: Cap 1144: Alliance Part 1
Of all the people here at this gathering, my sister in her current state was far from the strongest, but someone as old as her who is known as a Living Catastrophe has already caused so much death, I can't even imagine the number of lives taken by her hands, killing intent is a separate aspect of one's Aura, a mark that shows the number of lives taken.
I only realized this because I didn't have anything like a killing intent when I was born in this world, I also only noticed that I had something like this after the Goblin Village massacre, since then my killing intent grows more and more to the point of being stronger than my normal Aura.
I also noticed that even though it was a mark on my Aura, it wasn't a permanent feature, it was more like something that activated itself when reacting to my desire to hurt someone, as if it were a warning to the opposite side that a predator had targeted him, at least that's how I realized what murderous intent was and my sister at the moment looks like a beast of the apocalypse with that murderous intent like a tsunami sweeping in every direction.
Since I wasn't the target and had already felt her killing intent to a considerably lesser extent during her trainings, I was able to move and go to her by placing my hand on her shoulder.
"Elizabeth, you're not like that, what's the first rule of a ruler?" (I)
"..." (Elizabeth)
an Elizabeth's eyes were bright red, glowing with the intensity of a car headlight, the space around her trembling like a volcano about to erupt.
As soon as I placed a hand on her shoulder I used the harmony trait in my Aura on her body while trying to call her mind to rationality, which seemed to work as her eyes returned to normal while her Killer Aura seemed restricted by her Aura as it was retracted for your body.
"Sorry for losing my cool, please continue..." (Elizabeth)
She placed her hand on top of mine as she nodded her thanks, I returned to my seat with only the sweat on my face noticing at that moment.
I looked around and noticed that everyone else was calmer than I was, some were looking at Elizabeth and some were looking at me, but the two people outside who were talking were frozen in place.
Astrid had pure non-elemental Mana flowing in rings swirling around her as her companion stood forward as if protecting Astrid, both of them eyeing my sister warily.
"You were talking about your enemies, please continue." (I)
"..." (Astrid)
"..." (Miriam)
The two exchanged glances once more before Miriam's call beckoned to her mate in confirmation.
"Very well... as she was saying before, this problem started in our universe, but unfortunately they came undercover in another vehicle, their minds were consumed with becoming superior by any means necessary." (Astrid)
"Like us, we believe they haven't interacted with anyone in that universe, but it's been a long time since I dare say with full confidence what they may or may not have thought of doing." (Astrid)
"..." (I)
I fall silent after having managed to get the conversation back on track, my sister watching as her eyes still reveal their fury while her face shows no emotion.
The others are also paying attention, but when I looked at Nicole I noticed her eyes shining, I also noticed the magic circles forming inside her eyes and changing all the time.
I look at Astrid who claims to be the leader, she seems a little nervous or maybe anxious, which can be understandable for this situation where she is almost begging for something that could decide the lives of those under her leave.
She looks at everyone at the table, I imagine she's trying to analyze what they think of the use she's said so far or something, I saw her eyes lingering longer on my sister before she started talking.
"What I have to offer is information of an imminent danger, I can also provide all information about our technology and enemies, of course under some fair conditions for both sides." (Astrid)
"Other than that, I can promise to fight alongside you against these threats and monsters as long as I don't put my people in extreme danger for no reason." (Astrid)
"Let me guess, some kind of exchange of knowledge between scholars on our side and yours, an equal military alliance and information about an unknown danger as well as information about your greatest enemy which would be the abominations you showed earlier, am I correct?" (Elizabeth)
"..." (Astrid)
"Yes, that is a correct interpretation." (Astrid)
"But these are all things you offer, what do you want from us?" (Elizabeth)
"What I want is just a place for my people to call home and the blessing of their Gods." (Astrid)
"Would the gods' blessing be to adapt their bodies to the use of magic?" (Zadiris)
"During our investigations, many cases have surfaced both in the history of this world, and it is common knowledge that the blessing of your gods can grant power to your chosen ones." (Astrid)
"It seems there are holes in your knowledge, I can understand why." (Elizabeth)
"Zenos, do you mind explaining why she's wrong about the Blessings since she understands them better than anyone else here?" (Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
She knows I have many blessings and can bestow my own blessings on others myself, I'm glad she doesn't say things excessively in the midst of so many people.
"I don't know what you've learned about Blessings, but they aren't things that can be traded, loaned or given to anyone as you suggest." (I)
"A Blessing needs the sincere will of the one who grants the Blessing and the compatibility of the one who receives the Blessing, which makes his proposal to deliver a blessing to an entire Nation impossible." (I)
"He is correct, his proposal itself is an offense to the Deities and the Dragons, but we can overlook this due to his ignorance on the matter." (Uraha)
"But without a blessing, then my people" (Astrid)
For the first time I saw dread in Astrid's eyes, she almost gave in to despair when she heard my words and Uraha's, luckily her companion kept her composure and placed her hand on her shoulder reaching for Astrid.
"I am interested in this alliance, but we must come to terms with our mutual benefits." (Elizabeth)
