That's right, these were basically the most useful intelligence he had obtained.

The reason those Skywing races came out here to launch a full-scale attack was to force certain beings to reveal themselves.

But what specific race or individual will be shown is completely unknown.

Accelerator can only access information that they know, so if it's something that the God of War, Artesius, didn't tell them, even he wouldn't know it.

However, I did learn another piece of information.

He raised his head and looked up at the boundless blood-red sky.

However, he wasn't actually looking at the sky itself.

Instead, it attempts to look towards the other side of the sky, to find some region within the heavens—

In the memories of these Skywing races, that was their dwelling place, and the place where the God of War was located was also that place.

Temple, Abant-Heim.

More specific details are unclear, but based on the memories retrieved, it should be a magnificent palace floating in the air, just like a continent.

At least they learned about the Skywing race's headquarters and who their leader was.

"Well... it's about time to get on with the things that should have been done a long time ago."

Go find those humans you met before.

That human settlement must have at least two thousand people, I estimate.

Such a large population has managed to survive in this apocalyptic world, relying solely on that environment, and even multiply to this extent... If they were to suffer an indiscriminate, large-scale attack from the Skywing race—

"Tsk...so much trouble."

The first one, as always, showed an expression of utter displeasure.

even so.

He still rushed towards the direction he remembered without hesitation.

Just to find out if the people there were actually safe.

——————————————————————————————————————————

Whoosh—! ! ! A gust of wind descended like a tornado.

After Accelerator landed in an area approximately three kilometers away, it then used its spatial teleportation ability to move to a nearby area.

Next, he used the vector aspect of refracted light to make his body invisible, like camouflage clothing.

In this way, although the eye cannot change the vector of light, it can remain in a state that is generally undetectable to the average person.

"Yokoron~ Are we going on patrol today too?"

"Yes, now that Rick is gone, I've become the new agent, so I need to work even harder."

"That's true."

"No, that's not right—! Why are you all calling me Kron too—!!"

"Hahaha! Isn't that what Rick always calls you? Oh? Isn't that Nona-chan? Yo~ Little Nona~"

"Uncle, hello Uncle...! Hello Sister Ke'er! -- Ah! Mom~!"

Inside the caves of the settlement, people continued to enjoy their lives.

A young girl then started running as fast as she could, under the watchful eyes of the group.

Several other young women, along with a girl who appeared to be the leader, were standing together chatting and laughing.

"Oh dear~ Nona-chan seems to be in a hurry."

"Because you finally managed to fix the doll Ivan left behind, right?"

"You're eager to show it to your mom... I can understand that."

The little girl I met once before was the one Accelerator had saved.

Dressed in tattered clothes, she ran happily to her mother's side.

"I've sewed up the doll that Dad left behind!"

"...Ahhh."

The girl's mother seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but wipe the corner of her eye.

"Nona is such a good girl... It's okay. From now on, no matter what happens, Nona and Mommy will definitely live well and strong—and Daddy too!"

"Um…!"

The two embraced each other tightly, creating a beautiful, picturesque scene.

That's enough.

Once Accelerator confirmed the existence of this happiness, he stopped trying to confirm it.

He turned around and walked slowly into the darkness in the light, without revealing any trace of his presence.

It seems the settlement was not attacked; I prevented that possibility from happening before the Skywings bombarded the ground.

So, what about the others...?

'…ah?'

Just when Accelerator thought that there were beautiful scenes everywhere, he was surprised.

But he saw something strange.

Near the entrance, a shadowy figure peered furtively in their direction.

"What is that?"

First, from a vector perception perspective, it is a vector flow of living people.

After confirming that it wasn't some kind of zombie or strange creature, he slowly followed behind the other person.

After leaving the settlement, Accelerator was able to see the other person's appearance clearly.

It was a shadow draped in a dark brown cloak, completely obscuring its entire body.

They looked like adventurers walking through the sand.

Accelerator followed him for nearly ten minutes.

After confirming that there was no one around, the figure wearing a cloak swiftly opened the stone door in front of him.

The stone door was opened as if by a mechanism, and he closed it immediately after entering, leaving no trace.

The first one narrowed his eyes slightly.

He still hadn't stopped the light from reflecting off his body, and at the same time—he raised his hand.

Six dark black generators emerged behind it.

With a whoosh, using the power of the "Doomsday Destroyer" to manipulate space and time, he teleported directly into the interior of the stone gate while still remaining invisible.

After walking through the dark and gloomy corridor, he finally realized what was really going on in front of him.

—It was a secret room, like a conference room.

It was extremely large and well-hidden, with light coming solely from torches and oil lamps inside.

In the center of this secret room stood an enormous stone table.

There were more than 170 people.

Everyone was sitting there.

The figure who had been watched by Accelerator walked in slowly and then took a seat at the very front.

He took off the cloak from his head.

'That guy is…'

She had purple-white hair and deep purple eyes.

A young man who looked to be around eighteen years old stood there.

"How's the settlement doing, boss?"

"Don't worry, the fact that I was able to walk through this calmly proves that the settlement is still safe and sound."

A petite figure quickly ran over to the young man.

"Welcome back... Rick..."

"Yes, I'm back, Schwie."

The young man, known as Rick, smiled gently as he stroked the girl with long black hair and red eyes, and the girl also showed a happy expression.

On the girl's finger was a sparkling ring.

'Rick, Shubi… those are the names of those two guys, right? The ones in their hands, they're probably a couple.'

Let's set aside for now why this brat would choose a girl who looks like she's only ten years old as his wife.

Just from this scene before him, Accelerator immediately gleaned a whole host of information.

First of all.

—Humans in this world are absolutely not like other races think, merely mere worms to be slaughtered.

Just looking at the young man named Rick in front of you is enough to know this.

Chapter 564 The Strongest Who Cannot Be Recognized and Hostile

"Did you check the settlement's situation as always?"

"He goes to check three or four times a day without complaining. He truly deserves to be called the leader. He cares more about the safety of the settlement than anyone else."

"After all, everything we do is for the sake of bringing peace to everyone, and of course we must also make sure that the safety of those who should be protected is ensured."

The ghosts present all spoke in unison.

But Rick, the leader of the ghosts, did not respond to these questions.

He slowly sat down at his seat.

"Just like what I checked not long ago, everyone in the settlement is still in good condition, and the recent disturbance did not involve them."

"Now let's talk about the next steps."

At this point, Rick's tone seemed to become somewhat excited—even though he remained expressionless and as calm as ice.

"According to the new intelligence I recently gathered, there are now two pieces of news."

"Now, let's start with what's in our favor."

All the ghosts present turned their attention to him.

"The actions of the forest elves and goblins are much faster than we expected."

"Information that these guys couldn't possibly know before now seems to be partially known among each other: goblins against forest elves, and forest elves against goblins... We don't know how they learned this information, but it's actually an advantage for us."

Rick paused for a moment, then continued.

"This means that at least a large part of our original plan can continue without us having to do it anymore."

Originally, Rick's plan was to have the ghosts spread goblin and forest elf species everywhere, each possessing powerful weapons, so that the two sides would become completely opposed and form two alliances. Finally, under the pressure of Altshu's "God Strike", the two alliances would unite to fight against that war god.

But nowadays, even without them spreading intelligence, the goblins and forest elves already know some of the corresponding information about each other.

Who exactly released this intelligence, and how did they know it? That's beyond Rick's knowledge.

However, as he said, if things continue as they are, their original plan, which would have taken a long time to complete, will likely be significantly shortened.

The intelligence dissemination plan, which was originally estimated to take at least a full year to complete, may now only take a few weeks... no, if all goes well, even a few days.

Because the goblin and forest elf species have almost formed a complete alliance to fight against Altshu, they are just one step away from achieving it.

And this final kick will be done by these ghosts themselves.

This was very important good news for the 179 ghosts present.

"—However, in contrast, another piece of news we have is not so favorable."

This is also a branch of content that stems from the information just mentioned.

"Because the two alliances are about to complete their merger, our plans have been disrupted... Although the time required has been reduced, the amount of work we originally had to complete remains unchanged."
