Evil God Chapter 87

Because Catastrophe was so huge in scale, you could even see it from the distance.

Of course, there are many areas where you couldn't see it.

However, those who saw it immediately spread it, and the world fell into a panic.

"What is that light!? What's that huge cloud!?"

It's figure was clearly visible from the office of Scottyard's King, George Ⅲ.

The distance between Hamilton Fortress and the capital Graggo is 100 kilometers.

Since the weather was clear today, you could Hamilton from Graggo.

George Ⅲ, who was born after the sixth demonic calamity, didn't understand what was going on.

He listened to the story of a maid who knew of 50 years ago, and understood.

According to the old woman, this light was the light of salvation that saved humanity 50 years ago.

However, George Ⅲ could only feel a bad premonition.

To sum things up, the terrifying magic from 50 years ago had been used again.

"Even if it is a light of salvation, such a thing isn't necessary for our current peaceful world."

What on earth happened?

The source of this is in the southern direction from the Scottyard capital, Graggo.

George Ⅲ gave his vassals the order to investigate it.

The result was something surprising.

Humanity's strongest fortress had been annihilated.

The impregnable fortress that was to be the hope of humanity for the next demonic calamity.

The fortress that Scottyard are unrestrainedly poured funds into had been lost without even being used in war with the demons.

"Why did something like this happen……?"

It's unknown whose work this is.

The fortress' soldiers had enough time to escape, and it seems that quite a few of them survived.

However, the people who were at the center of it including the 3rd Knight Order's Captain died, so there was nobody who could explain what happened.

If this was the same as 50 years ago, then one likely perpetrator comes to mind.

The hero of the 6th demonic calamity, the great magician Serena.

But why would she need to do this?

Does she plan to stop remaining in obscurity, and conquer the world?

While George Ⅲ was thinking, his son, Vincent hurriedly came into the room.

"What do you need? I don't have any time to speak with you right now."

George Ⅲ didn't have any composure, and was a little blunt with his son.

Vincent sensed that, and faltered for a moment.

However when he regrouped himself, he spoke to his father, as if complaining to him.

"Father, this is a matter of the utmost importance!"

"I don't need you to tell me."

"More importantly, you need to fortify our defenses. They might attack here too."

"That possibility certainly does exist."

George Ⅲ wrinkled his eyebrows.

If that happens, then he won't have any cards to play.

This has surpassed the dimension where they can do something by fortifying their defenses.

Of course, it's not like they can use that power inexhaustibly though.

If they possessed that much power, then even destroying the world would be simple.

If such a person existed, there's no way that the world would exist until now.

At least, if that plan makes it in time……

Thinking that, he looked at Vincent, who was more frightened than he needed to be.

"Calm down. It hasn't been decided that the enemy will come immediately."

Nobody has seen him yet, but someone who stands above others shouldn't how others their uneasiness.

They ought to be composed at all times.

"No, that man will surely come!"

"Un……?"

George Ⅲ was curious that Vincent recognized this differently.

Serena and the mysterious people surrounding her.

This may be their work, but how can he be so sure?

Why did he conclude that there was a high probability of them coming?

"He will surely come. We have to hurriedly fix our defenses."

Apparently Vincent is a little confused.

Realizing that, George Ⅲ soothed Vincent, and had him explain the situation.

George Ⅲ was taken aback by his explanation.

He was flustered, and there were many mistakes and parts Vincent was hiding.

But, there's no doubt that he made them angry.

Thus, it's highly likely that they would begin to retaliate with their power.

When he sent a messenger to Rhodan to confirm this, he received a report that Vincent's mansion was attacked.

It seems there was no mistake that it was the work of the person, Ashtal.

No, the expression 'person' isn't correct.

He's definitely not a human.

The general story was transmitted.

However, there were no countermeasures to the current situation.

While doing that, officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came into the room.

"Umm……a messenger has come from Rhodan."

"What's their business?"

"It's open having an anti-demon conference. It's top priority, so they're asking you to come now."

George Ⅲ listened to his explanation, and thought over it.

There's no way that the Maou appeared with this timing.

In that case, this conference must be about the annihilation of Hamilton Fortress.

Although it's completely unrelated, there are no other meetings where all the countries meet up in one place.

Of course, he could also choose to refuse to meet with them.

"It seems to be pretty important if they're asking as to go immediately. This matter isn't so big."

Vincent spits out.

"In the first place, is this not a trap? Aren't they drawing us in in order to kill us?"

"Are you saying they moved Briton? That's not possible."

George Ⅲ expressed his negative opinion.

"No, um……"

The reporting official tried to speak reservedly.

"The original proposer of the conference is the great magician Serena."

"What? This is the first time I've heard that she had the authority to call for an anti-demon conference."

Vincent said ironically.

"No……she does."

George Ⅲ denied him.

"What?"

"She has the authority to call for one and participate in them. She's never used it before though."

What did they call this meeting for?

"We have no choice but to go. If they only held hostility for us, then there would be no point in calling for a conference."

Either way, they didn't need to bother to call for a meeting.

Scottyard had no choice but to go along with them.

They have a weakness too.

The fact that they're trying to conceal their existence.

The fact that they're trying to do something to humanity with that power.

If we target that well, it'd be possible to reverse the situation.

George Ⅲ formed a strategy to lead the flow of the meeting, and headed for Rhodan.
