Across the Infernal and Celestial Realms, legions of deities rose and cast their eyes toward the turbulent sky.

　　"Natural disasters do not occur within the higher realms. That is...unless a nephilim is born."

　　Said one Deva G.o.d while gazing at the thunderstorm descending from the sky.

　　"After one million years, did another pair of impudent youngsters commit the Forbidden Act? No…this is…different."

　　While the birth of nephilims always caused celestial phenomenon, they hardly, if ever, brought severe harm. Serving more as a warning for the G.o.ds to locate the source of trouble.

　　But this time, the higher realms were facing a calamity that, if left unchecked, could possibly harvest the lives of countless sages. To say nothing of saints. On the contrary, it was the Mortal Realm that experienced mild shock.

　　Clearly, Heaven and h.e.l.l's Wills found the event harder to tolerate than the Mortal Realm's Will.

　　But as they cast their G.o.d-Senses throughout the Celestial and Infernal Realms, Devas and Demon G.o.ds failed to locate the source of trouble.

　　"Could it be…the Mortal Realm? No. Impossible."

　　Many thought, but immediately dismissed the a.s.sumption. It would already be a miracle to find pureblooded demons or devas within the Mortal Realm, to say nothing of a nephilim.

　　"Forget it. First, suppress the calamity."

　　Led by the Cardinal Lords and other leading Deva G.o.ds, the Celestial Realm's deities promptly united their strength to suppress the thunderstorm.

　　In the Infernal Realm, the Demon G.o.ds did the same.

　　Only Talroth found the event particularly pleasing to the eyes.

　　"Boy, you surely don't waste time. The first step is complete. The rest is up to you."

　　True nephilims were bred from the union of demons and devas. Therefore, when he first integrated the t.i.tan lineage, the Realm Wills didn't recognize Konrad as such.

　　However, when the Ravmalakh blood was added to the mix, it became another story. An alarming event that for some unknown reason caused the Higher Realm Wills excessive anxiety.

　　…

　　Meanwhile, within house Voight's main palace, Else, and Verena sat by a table.

　　"When do you think they will attack?"

　　Verena asked while sipping the wine gla.s.s within her hand.

　　"I heard a false crystal epidemic is flooding the country. Unless some unexpected event occurs, Adalwin should first deal with that. Then deal with Olrich, before finally dealing with us.

　　That should give us plenty of time. At least enough for Yvonne to complete her recovery."

　　Else replied. Hearing the "false crystal epidemic," Verena's lips curled into a smile. Naturally, she was well aware of the origin of those events. Crystals were the Ancient Crystal World's currency.
