CHAPTER 554: CHAPTER 236: THE WILL TO DIVIDE

"Hahaha, Kana, Kana!"

Somewhere in the underground laboratory outside Giant Rock City.

Kana’s mother, Cynthia, was dancing in her lab.

Her mouth emitted crisp laughter.

"My child has come again, this time mommy won’t let you escape."

Cynthia laughed shrilly, like a madwoman.

Haunted by her previous failure to see through her own child.

She was equally bothered by Kana slipping away from her and even defeating her so that she couldn’t fight back.

And now.

Information about the Gray Rock Fortress route had already been passed along.

As well as news of the Third Prince’s death and intelligence about Kana’s appearance.

This intelligence excited her.

This meant she could see Kana again, capture Kana once more.

The current problem was.

How to lure Kana to Giant Rock City?

She carefully read the intelligence.

Sure enough, Kana once again extracted the Creation Stone Fragment from the Third Prince’s body.

Just as before, his target remains the fragments of the Stone of Creation.

This is good, this is good.

Cynthia was secretly pleased.

Ever since Kana and his companions dared to invade the castle just to obtain the Stone of Creation from her.

Cynthia clearly knew that Kana and his companions had an extremely apparent need for the Stone of Creation.

Since then, she had been collecting stones, never using them, instead piling them together.

She knew that one day Kana would return, and these would be the bait to attract Kana.

For the Blood Race, the research on the stones was nearing completion.

For her, Kana was even more useful than these stones. After all, she had already done enough research, and her most successful creation, Kana, she had never thought to delve deeper.

Cynthia knew the King was plotting something, but didn’t know exactly what he was planning.

However, none of that mattered anymore; what mattered was Kana.

Her most perfect creation.

"Control Miteer, she’s a coward, surely shivering and wanting to flee now."

Miteer was the name of the Third Princess.

Clearly, Cynthia first thought to use the name of the Third Princess as bait.

"Wouldn’t that be too risky?" A nearby gray-robed mage couldn’t help but ask.

Such blatant control of the Third Princess was clearly disregarding the Blood Race Royal Court.

Even though Cynthia was one of the researchers favored highly by the King, she shouldn’t have such extensive authority.

After all, Cynthia had conflicts with the former king as well.

"You’re the one who doesn’t understand the situation." Cynthia had calmed down now, coldly looked at the gray-robed mage.

"The King’s dream is about to be realized, this country is just a stepping stone to his dream.

Those foolish offspring of his have long forgotten their goals, obsessed with power, obsessed with this country.

They have long been abandoned; as long as we don’t reach into the Royal Capital, as long as we don’t disrupt any of the King’s steps. Outside, we can do whatever we want."

As one of the earliest alchemy apprentices following the King, Cynthia understood him extremely well.

Better than his foolish offspring.

Saying this, she suddenly looked to the other side.

There was a Blood Race noble, dressed in blood-colored robes, face pale.

"Haven’t you long been displeased with Walter? After all, he has been undermining your actions, resisting your faith."

Upon hearing this, the noble turned his head to look at Cynthia.

"You mean, you’re willing to assist us in removing your husband?"

"He’s not my husband, just a necessary tool."

A mere tool to create Kana.

The gray-robed mage beside wanted to say something, but in the end, kept his mouth shut, surprised that Cynthia dared to do such a thing.

Walter was, after all, the former king.

Although the current King had revived, the power still rested in Walter’s hands.

This crazy woman really dared to do such a thing, she truly is mad.

"My request is to control Walter and then send him here, I want to personally transform him."

After hearing Cynthia’s request, the noble thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Once successful, as you wish."

After all, for these Evil God Followers, it didn’t matter whose hands Walter was in, but having no Walter was important.

Kana’s father had always been very displeased with these cultists, unable to understand why his father would cooperate with such disgusting things.

However, his father didn’t stop him from resisting and limiting these cultists.

As these cultists spread their faith continuously throughout the Blood Race forces and domains, their conflict with Walter grew increasingly intense.

This figure who effectively governed the country became more and more of an eyesore.

"Send a few people, carrying a fragment to deal with those Night Watchers, and leak some information about more fragments."

That’s what Cynthia said.

The gray-robed mage next to her understood this task, clearly aimed at the Night Watchers, intended to bait Kana.

However, the gray-robed mage still said, "The Fourth Prince might not come personally... his Night Watchers are very strong, he wouldn’t need to come personally."

"It’s fine, I’ll go personally, I’ll capture every Night Watcher that comes here. Surprisingly, I’m also very curious about them.

Let’s do it in Miteer’s name, I’m already impatient."

Since Cynthia already said so, the others didn’t refute and started to take action.

...

Royal Capital.

The Royal Capital of the Blood Race Royal Court.

There was no difference from before, still shrouded in darkness, surrounded by bats, permeated with the smell of blood.

Inside the castle.

Another father-son conversation.

Kana’s father, Walter, looking at his father.

"Your Majesty, why not let the main force return?"

He asked the question everyone wanted to ask now.

And the Blood Race King just silently turned his head and looked at him.

"You should know, the Blood Race Royal Court... the present Blood Race, those flesh-devouring monsters, are destined to be destroyed.

What’s the matter? You don’t think we can truly combat so many forces, do you?"

These words were so blunt, that Walter’s brow furrowed, yet he had to admit this was the truth.

But this wasn’t what he thought.

"So, your purpose from the start was to push this country into an inevitable pit of destruction?"

"Not from the start, always this way."

Upon hearing this, Walter looked towards the complete Stone of Creation.

He had been deceived.

They all had been deceived.

From the beginning, what gave them confidence was not the Blood Race, but this complete Stone of Creation.

Whether mythological legends or their individual understandings, this complete Stone of Creation could provide enough power to make them strong, to stand firmly in this world.

However, things went against their wishes.

His father didn’t want this stone to affect this country.

But to influence elsewhere.
