"Then what if they have 2 Emperors and 1 Kingdom supporting them? Won't it make it 3v2?"
Nux questioned.
Astaria's expression turned serious, however, before she could even answer, Nux realized his mistake,
"Ahh, a Kingdom would never support another Kingdom that has 2 Emperors since they wouldn't know when they might get betrayed after they are used."
"Indeed."
Astaria nodded.
"Then what about 3 Emperors, no 4? What if a Kingdom has 4 Emperors."
A wry smile appeared on Astaria's face,
"Although I said more than 1 Emperor is possible, it doesn't mean producing one is that simple. 2 is already stretching it, 3 might be possible if the Kingdom is extremely lucky, 4, however… well…"
"It is not really possible, is it?"
Nux questioned and Astaria nodded.
"Indeed, it is not possible."
Nux couldn't help but smile,
"If only you were mine,
I would have shown you more than 10 Emperors."
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Haaah?"
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything."
"…"
"…"
A strange conversation indeed.
'Your ability is quite scary.'
Evane spoke through telepathy.
'If only your grandma agree-'
Nux wanted to say it, however, he stopped midway.
This sounded strange as well.
'Haahh… I feel like I am breaking all the boundaries of degeneracy…'
Nux sighed inwardly.
'…'
Seeing his expression, Evane didn't say anything and turned silent.
"Well, even if there is a 1 in a trillion chance that the Solid Earth Kingdom has 4 Emperors with them, breaking the treaty still doesn't make sense."
Astaria said something absurd.
"4v3 would definably be simple, actually, if their power is so overwhelming, another Country might even help them with a promise of keeping them alive once they rule over the whole world."
Nux spoke, however, Astaria shook her head.
"This 'rule over the whole world' is not possible, and Herms should know it."
"What do you mean?"
Nux narrowed his eyes.
"Akibrus Valhein."
"Is that a chant or something?"
Nux questioned.
Astaria looked at him with a deadpan look on her face.
"It is the name of our Ancestor."
Evane answered.
"Hmm? So he is the Ancestor of the Skyfall Kingdom?" Nux questioned.
Evane shook her head,
"No, he is the ancestor of all the Kingdoms."
"Huh?" Nux frowned.
"Well, it is just a legend.
They say that Lord Akibrus was the one who found this Land and settled here, with his children. Then more and more people came in and started living here. When Lord Akibrus died, his children founded the Four Countries that we currently have."
Evane explained.
An absurd look appeared on Nux's face,
"So you are telling me that all the Kingdoms have the same ancestor? Doesn't that mean that they are all brothers and sisters?"
"Well, it is just a legend," Evane spoke.
Nux, however, glanced at Astaria.
Astaria understood what he wanted to ask and nodded,
"Everything Evane said is true, Lord Akibrus actually existed and this legend is true.
Well, not completely true, there were a few details that were left out.
Lord Akribus's children indeed founded the 4 Kingdoms, however, they did not do it after he died. They did it before his death.
Actually, it was Akribus's wish.
The Four brothers had a harmonious relationship with each other, however, Lord Akribus forced them to find 4 different Nations and warned them not to let this land come under a single man's rule.
If this rule is broken…"
Astaria's face then turned serious as she revealed,
"Then a catastrophe would fall over this world."
"…"
"…"
Nux and Evane turned silent however, the reason they turned silent was different.
Evane was thinking about this legend and how all of this was true, at the same time, she was also thinking about the catastrophe that would fall over the world if it is united under a single man's rule.
Nux, on the other hand, was looking at Evane with a strange look on his face.
"So the treaty…"
He spoke after a long time and Astaria nodded.
"Indeed, it was not signed because of Peace, well, it was one of the reasons, however, it was not the main reason.
The main reason was Lord Akibrus's warning."
"…"
Nux didn't know how to react.
"So… you are telling me that all of you have been following a man's 'warning' so seriously for all these years?"
The more Nux thought about it, the stranger and more absurd it got.
Hearing his question, Astaria chuckled out loud,
"Do you seriously believe that we humans can hold back our greed just because of a mere warning of a man we don't even know existed or not?"
"…"
Nux tilted his head in confusion.
This was indeed his thought, the humans couldn't possibly hold themselves back due to some warning.
"Lord Akibrus was not a fool."
Astaria spoke.
"His sons might follow his warning, his Grandsons might do the same as well, but what about his Great Grandsons? Or his Great Great Grandsons? Would they follow it? He was not sure.
He never trusted humans to begin with, the one he trusted was his most Loyal Companion."
"His most Loyal Companion?"
"Indeed, a Mythical Creature, stronger than anyone or anything you can ever imagine."
Nux's face turned serious.
"Lord Akibrus didn't ensure the longevity of his rule with feelings like 'Trust',
He used 'Fear'.
As Lord Akirbrus expected, the Great Great Great Great Grandson tried to break his rule, however, what happened next was something that was recorded in history with red color.
The Woods Dynasty, who at that time had 3 Emperor Stage Cultivators tried to unify the land, however, soon,
It appeared."
"Who?"
"Lord Akibrus's Companion."
Nux narrowed his eyes.
"That Monster killed 3 Emperor Stage Cultivators in a blink of an eye and without saying a single word, it disappeared.
The Battle that should have been written down in history, the battle that should have decided the fate of the entire world, the battle between 6 Emperor Stage Ciltivators,
That impactful battle ended before it could even begin."
