Hearing this, the floating creature began to turn toward a single box. It was not on the stand where the bubbles were located but far away and protected. Leilade and Drugrat didn't notice it at first because it was not in plain sight. Slowly, one of the tentacles opened it and took a black pearl. Using another of his tentacle, he grabbed a strange device and put the pearl on it. He later extended the device to the little girl.

"Blulu, blublu blululu!"

"Of course we will watch this in front of you, we are not stupid!" The red demon was clearly p.i.s.sed by the fact that the archivist didn't trust them. They were both in command of thousands, even millions of troops but they will fail to hold a single object? Not caring about that, Leilade began to project all the logs and messages concerning the weapons of the Ancients.

Nearly every race that breached their atmosphere and finally walked in the stars knew about the Ancients. Whether it was discovering a ruin on their homeworld or just finding an abandoned s.p.a.ce station still active, the presence of the smartest race was confirmed in the entire Universe. After the fall of the Ancient Triumvirate, countless new and old empires fought for their territory, their technology and most importantly their weapons.

The Orb that caused a conflict between Candaith and Leilade was a good example. Even after scavenging four of them and studying them for thousands of years, no one inside the Demonic Empire knew how it was even possible to create such a device. The only thing they discovered was its strange ability to perfectly store energy inside, without any loss and for an unlimited duration. But this was only the tip of the iceberg, just a casual energy storage created without any problem by them.

None of the people present in this room met them, but the demons encountered the Ancient before and even experienced the terrible powers that they controlled. Right now, Leilade was looking at something that could make the Lanfos run away in fear, h.e.l.l, everyone in reality. Its denomination was "The Hunger", apparently one of the three terminal measures. To that day, the Demonic Army knew about only two of the three, the last being probably buried or destroyed.

The first measure was the deployment of a robotic army on an enemy planet. At first, only a single small robotic insect was sent in an untraceable rocket. When the insect arrived on the ground, he absorbed the mana, life, and nutrients in its entire environment. Water, air, ground or even rock, it didn't matter. After that, the robot began to turn this energy into ma.s.s, creating a clone of itself. This kept going until multiple insects turned into something bigger, always bigger. Leaving behind only some wastelands without any energy remaining, the army rampaged the planet. Three solar systems were destroyed before an answer was found. The energy weapons created by the robot were superior of the one from the Demonic Army, causing countless deaths. And even when they managed to destroy one, another robot salvaged the parts and repaired a few of its compatriot. In case of near total destruction, the robot self-exploded.

As the three of them kept reading those descriptions, they realized that if it was the weapon that the Lanfos used, that would be suicidal. If by mistake this technology was left unchecked, the entire galaxy, no, all the known galaxies would be destroyed. But not everything was bad, apparently, some parts were still recovered. Those regenerative and incredibly durable metallic pieces allowed the creation of the purple armor that Leilade was wearing. In fact, the danger detection was exactly the same that the robots had, they didn't touch it. That is the reason why it is so successful.

The second devastating weapon was more standard, but potentially more deadly. Leilade

raised her eyes to heaven after reading the name. "The End". She swore that she will try to find who decided of those names. But a few minutes later, she acknowledged that it was really the end for the enemy. Right now, she knew of a weapon capable of destroying a planet. If they were all in the same solar system, this weapon could even destroy all of them, only in a few days. What was created by the Ancient was incomparable.

First of all, it killed a Demon G.o.d. They never left the location where the portal that threw them in this dimension was located. At best, they roamed around, but never farther than a light-year. Comparing that distance to the entire Universe is even less than a drop of water compared to all the water on a planet. The range of The End is one-quarter of the known Universe. It is not written how they were able to deploy that thing, but the result was incredible. 359 planets or stars were destroyed in a single straight line. And the target was just the G.o.d at the end of it.

Of course, after receiving those two things, what was very predictable happened. The Demon Army didn't retaliate and just gave up all the planets in the frontier near the Ancient nation. Still, right now, they hadn't done a single thing that could alienate this race. After a hundred of years after their fall, no one really knew if they were truly dead. Because how they all disappeared so suddenly and so quickly baffled everyone. If even one of them was alive and with enough resources, resurrecting this race was not impossible. But punis.h.i.+ng the vultures and the scavengers was a certainty.

But for the moment, Drugrat was not happy by what he was seeing. The red demon was not scared by a lot of things, but he dared not to be confident facing such threats. That was the most horrific weapons, but more kept appearing. Mana fire spreading even in the void of s.p.a.ce, bacterial attacks, radiations causing instant mutations. All types of conventional and unconventional attacks.

(They have The End or a smaller version. Anything else would be too dangerous for them to manipulate. I really advise you to leave right now.)

They were four reading that information, even if two of the readers didn't know this. And hearing this theory from the Viscount, Leilade knew that he was right. The feeling that she felt since this morning intensified after learning about that weapon. She closed the device, gave it back to the blue octopus and quickly left. Provoking two shouts from the speechless aliens.

"Candaith, leave this planet right now!"

Leilade began to walk toward the portal while sending a mental message to Candaith. They could do this to talk about a lot of things, but they both hated and despised the other so much that they preferred to send their subordinates to do the liaison. Right now was not the time for petty schemes. However, right after sending this and leaving the building, she saw that her bracelet was s.h.i.+ning, red. A message from her superior.

"LEAVE NOW!"

The voice of Abaddon, the Demon Emperor commanding the war against the Lanfos resonated in her head. Coincidence or not, her armor reacted and she was instantly protected by a purple layer of metal. She began to teleport toward the portal, not wanting to stay here anymore. Right before she ended her spell, she saw a huge flash of light, disturbing her. Like everyone near her, the little girl raised her head to see something impossible, while darkness began to spread from her small body.

A huge ray of light was traversing the sky above them. They were right now in the dark face of the planet so that ray was easily visible. Others would probably only understand it a few seconds later, but Leilade didn't even looked anymore and sprinted toward the portal. She knew that it was where a.r.s.ene was located, where Akama and Candaith should have been. Everyone was probably dead, so she needed to say goodbye to her Death Corps and her Orb. But she still called all the souls nearby to reach her. Some very important ones were still out.

The first moment of stupefaction pa.s.sed, and soon, everyone ran away, obstructing the pa.s.sage to go to another planet. The s.h.i.+ps were not fast enough, only spatial magic could save them. Soon, the cruelty of reality began to appear. The strong crus.h.i.+ng the weak to live. Spells began to fly and corpses were thrown to slow down the fastest runners.

Everywhere chaos reigned, except near a few peculiar living beings. All of them were the experts of the army, those that n.o.body wanted to anger even if they would die if they didn't do it. Leilade was part of this group and of course, the entire air was black around her. Anything too close would be destroyed, whether it was alive or not. Soon, those that were in front of her didn't try to run forward but to avoid her. They didn't know if this ray of light will hit them, but they knew that they would die if she was too close.

As the path began to be un.o.bstructed, she didn't care at all. She was not slow down by the creatures in front of her anyway, it was only reducing the energy stored inside her darkness. Even in that time of crisis, Leilade found that it was a shame that she couldn't legitimately kill more people. Barely a few dozens of meters before the portal, a group of blue b.a.l.l.s caught up with her. After seeing that in this group was master Agnil and grand chief Lucio she was very pleased. This chief couldn't die at all.

She threw a look and saw more coming, but she couldn't slow down at all. And they couldn't pa.s.s through the portals in those forms, meaning that they would be condemned. Two, three, five, seven, eleven. As more and more were saved, she was confident that she could explain why she left the others. Finally, she arrived at the portal while the two werewolves in front of her were absorbed by the dark tentacles. Right before her head pa.s.sed through it, she still saw the light coming from the sky toward them. Her guts were right, and the last thought of the sorceress was the fact that the Lanfos were able to fire two times, destroying the two most important bases in this Secteur, a.r.s.ene and Artosis, crippling all their efforts from the last decade.
