Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 24 More Chaos

Sparks crackled and reflected in the blood-red eyes of the war angel. The girl seemed to see the fire and blood of war sweeping across the earth, and a wave of grief rose in her heart.

Ouroboros, with his keen intuition, approached the girl and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Isn't this great?" the boy said with his head tilted and a frown, as if he didn't understand Eve's sadness.

Yes, it is indeed perfect for high-ranking witches and hunters.

The despair and warfare brought about by this epic war meant that they didn't need to worry about rituals at all.

Eve looked at the pile of broken wood discarded beside the city gate. They were Eve's former village and home.

"Medici," Eve turned her head and stared at the war angel and said, "Do you like war?"

The boy was stunned for a moment and thought carefully.

"I need war," He replied.

Eve looked at the boy, chuckled, and touched his head. Medici was a little dissatisfied with his action but did not stop him.

He erected a spiritual wall around them, isolating them from the outsiders. Then, he sat cross-legged, one hand resting on his chin, and staring at the fire, he spoke, "The Blood Clan's ancestor has fallen, a victim of betrayal. Furthermore, before his death, he dragged the Destruction Wolf and the Alien King into his clutches. Now, the two alliances have broken apart. The confrontation between the two parties, coupled with the fighting between the two, has become a five-way melee. Add to that the fleeing followers of the fallen three gods..."

"Tsk," Eve said, scratching her hair irritably. "I never thought the world, already so rotten, could get any worse."

There had always been war in this world, and the people were living in poverty. However, there were two alliances that, even with some internal friction, maintained a trace of order amidst the chaos. But now that the alliances were broken up, that trace of order was gone too.

"The war between five gods is truly a war of epic proportions. You were actually able to know this in advance. You're smarter than I thought."

"No," Eve said with her head down. "At first, I thought the war was between us and the Destruction Wolf... No, they never said the opponent was the Destruction Wolf. They just promoted me to an angel to increase my chances of survival. We didn't even participate in the killing..."

and many more!

If Mikhail hadn't participated in the war to kill the Destroyer Wolf, then how could Sasriel be so certain that the Destroyer Wolf would inevitably fall? How could he guarantee that the Destroyer Wolf would be among those buried with the Bloodline Ancestor?
Is there a god hooking up with Mikhail and Amanesis?

If that's the case, who would it be?
It is impossible to destroy the Demon Wolf, and it is also unlikely that the fallen blood clan ancestor and the alien king will be destroyed. How could those lunatics risk their lives for a cooperation?

The giant king who backstabbed the ancestor of the vampire clan?
It's so obvious that it seems unlikely.

It seemed that except for the Destruction Wolf, everything else was possible. He had never heard of any dealings between Mikhail, Amanesis and those gods.

Amanesis had been on a business trip, so perhaps he was among His diplomatic contacts?
But why would they do this? What would they gain besides making an already crazy world even crazier?
What are the chess pieces and chips on the chessboard of the game between high-ranking players?
"What's wrong?" Medici asked in confusion when he saw Eve suddenly stop talking in the middle of her speech.

"Nothing," Eve said softly, lowering her eyes, "I just realized how stupid I am."

Medici consoled him: "The fact that you recognize your own stupidity makes you smarter than most people in the world."

Eve glanced at Him silently, then looked away, returning to the fire. Perhaps realizing the futility of her words of comfort, she shifted her focus and soothed, "Are you feeling sorry for those weak humans? Actually, this might be a good thing for them. The fall of gods and their conquests can provide the Lord with numerous opportunities for growth. Only when the Lord becomes stronger can they be saved."

“I know,” Eve said in a muffled voice, “but humans are emotional creatures, and we grieve for the suffering of our fellow human beings.

I am particularly sentimental. I can get carried away by someone's words, and I can also feel sad when I see corpses everywhere."

Medici opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent.

Eve glanced at Him, stood up, and looked at the unfinished city behind her, as if she saw a scene of people living and working in peace and contentment. But when she closed her eyes, what emerged in her mind was the small white bones in the grass.

Mikhail's rule should be the last and only pure land for mankind.

"There's a saying in my hometown," Eve said, removing the spiritual wall: "The weak adapt to the environment, the strong change the environment. I'm not a strong person who can change the environment, but Mikhail is."

Medici nodded in agreement and said, "The Lord is the strongest."

"One angel isn't enough right now," Eve patted Medici's shoulder and said, "Please help guard this place and prevent those fleeing Extraordinary creatures from entering the city-state. If you encounter any fleeing humans, please rescue them."

This area was within the Destruction Wolf's territory, so it was inevitable that fleeing wolves would pass through. However, due to the current situation, not many personnel were stationed here, not even a single Sequence Three. As a precaution, Medici was to hold the fort while awaiting Sasriel's instructions.

Sasriel should give Medici a position, and then it will not be up to Eve to decide whether he goes to the battlefield or not.

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Medici to nod, Eve and Ouroboros disappeared and appeared in another city-state.

There was only one patrol team patrolling the city, and people were fast asleep. The war outside had no effect on these God-blessed people.

There was only one Sequence Three stationed here. Eve left Ouroboros here and returned to the area she was originally responsible for.

On the first night, some extraordinary creatures and humans flocked to the city-state. Fortunately, their numbers were small and not many casualties were caused.

The next day, Saslier announced that all city-states would enter a state of strategic defense, and all members of the patrol teams outside the city would be incorporated into the army in advance.

Both Ouroles and Medici joined the army. Medici held a high position and led the army alone, while Ouroles, who was more capable of assisting, became Osaycus's adjutant.

Osaykus originally served in the military, but because of his job, he had to review the information of all Beyonders entering the city, so his position was more of a civilian one.

Eve was assigned to his hometown, responsible for defending and rescuing humans.

The area he was originally in charge of was less affected by the disaster because it was far away from the area ruled by the three gods, but because it was not yet stable, it was taken over by a battle-hardened officer named Leodro.

Under Saslier's orderly arrangement, all forces perform their duties and operate efficiently.
