"So you just sold Edenmere like that?"

I wasn't too surprised after hearing this. Michelle's actions were typical - a pretentious show-off, which fits my impression of her.

"We had an agreement! Michelle had no interest in taking Edenmere. She agreed to help me defeat you. Afterwards, she would lead the demons to withdraw from Edenmere, while I would take over and lead all the angels to retreat from the conflicts in Eldoria Continent."

Although answering my question, Yvonne was speaking to Elara, seemingly not as fanatic as Janet's betrayal, and hadn't forgotten her original goal as a conservative.

"What makes you so sure Michelle would keep her promise?"

Elara asked bitterly.

"Because she is the 'Fire Angel'!"

Yvonne emphasized the title again.

"Elara, you should know very clearly the relationship between the Fire Angel and the two founders of our angel clan..."

"Of course, I know. But so what! The Fire Angel isn't our founder after all. Now that she stands against the angels, there's no need to discuss this further!"

The two started arguing. Elara waved her hand and reiterated:

"All I want to know now is how you got to the Dark Continent behind my back?"

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't say. I roughly guessed it already."

Seeing Yvonne's nonchalant attitude, I couldn't help but say:

"The only way to travel from Edenmere to the Dark Continent without you noticing is 'teleportation'."

"That was your method before, right?"

Although not 100% certain, I was quite confident, showing the 'button' in my palm to Yvonne.

"How did you know?"

Indeed, seeing the 'button', she was startled and blurted out:

"If I'm not wrong, you weren't the first angel to betray. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten this."

I continued probing, wanting to hear her admit who gave it to her, although I already had a guess.

"So Janet was also caught by you guys? With the 'Eye of Galadra' she still couldn't escape..."

Yvonne's expression changed, her gaze falling to the ground behind us, where their belongings were.

"She's dead! Just a while ago."

Elara sighed and corrected her.

"The angel clan already has a small population. Yet you still mess around like this. Do you think you've done right to the Founders?"

"Stop pretending, Elara! Janet may not know, but Michelle already told me! Although the Founders' true names were lost over tens of thousands of years with several rumours, as Elara you must know! Yet you never wanted to reveal it."

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Yvonne sneered and glanced around at us.

"It's because of reincarnation right? You know very well where reincarnation is! Perhaps deep down you're afraid. Afraid that the Founders who created the angel clan have mingled with the demons! Michelle's existence proves this..."

"Enough!"

Elara rudely interrupted her, seemingly struck a nerve and reacted anxiously.

"Haha, so what! Are you afraid to tell these lovely juniors what 'Galadra' in the 'Eye of Galadra' actually refers to?"

As if intentionally provoking her, afraid we didn't understand, Yvonne explained:

"The 'Eye of Galadra' is that thing in your hand Feliciana, only a small part of this celestial weapon. Michelle told me it's called a 'positioning terminal', a teleportation device. The most important part is of course still the 'main control' on the island. Supposedly a week ago there was only one such 'positioning terminal', but now many can be produced. Although identical in appearance, their functions differ. I also got mine from Janet. It teleported me next to the main control in the Dark Continent. Janet had another type that swapped two locations. I needn't explain further right?"

"Uh..."

I was a bit stunned. She simply blurted out everything we wanted to know. The official name 'positioning terminal' sounded quite sci-fi.

Also, suddenly so many could be produced. The time point of a week ago when Yvonne met Michelle was noteworthy.

About half a month ago...

If I remember correctly, that was when we first met Michelle, when future Nicola teleported her to the past.

Unaware of my thoughts, she continued provoking Elara.

"You may not realize just by the name. But Michelle also said although part of it uses a completely different method than magic, the key spatial functionality still stems from a certain person's special ability..."

"I know, it's Galadra!"

Hearing Yvonne say this much, Elara had no choice but to admit the truth.

"Galadra is one of the two Founders of our angel clan. Her special ability is spatial manipulation!"

"No way?"

Not just me, Mia and Cyra were also shocked.

"Co... could it be, Elara, that you're saying one of the Founders has joined the demons?"

Mia asked in disbelief.

"Rumor says the Founders disappeared thousands of years ago already right?"

"Galadra didn't disappear. Only I as Elara knew this secret, but it can't be hidden anymore now, so I'll just say it - Galadra has always been in the Dark Continent. However, when she left Edenmere in that era, the dark creatures hadn't flourished or occupied that place yet..."

Knowing we transmigrators didn't understand, Elara specifically explained:

"Strictly speaking, she has contributed the most to our angel clan. Edenmere's independence from the main world is all thanks to her power."

"Then why is she siding with the demons now, helping Michelle create the 'Eye of Galadra'? How can we possibly win against that?"

Cyra also clicked her tongue. She was right. With such a powerful figure, if she made a move, we might as well just give up.

"I don't know the reasons either!"

Elara sighed slightly, seemingly relieved after speaking out.

"Perhaps things aren't as simple as Yvonne described, with many doubts. If it was the Founder's will, why wouldn't she act directly? We'd stand no chance."

"Hmph! Logically Michelle alone would be enough. I don't know how you defeated her, looks like Elara has inherited many secrets I'm unaware of."

Yvonne coldly snorted, attributing Michelle's defeat entirely to Elara.

"Always snorting like a pig! Didn't you hear me earlier? I took out Michelle, even had to lose half my wings to kill her!"

Cyra was very dissatisfied and reiterated. But the other was still unfazed, clearly unbelieving, infuriating Cyra.

"Yvonne, Cyra did use a certain large-scale destructive weapon..."

Elara tried to speak for Cyra. Just then, a guard entered the dungeon and reported:

"Elara, Serena just came asking for you. She has led the First Legion and Sheryl's Fifth Legion to Edenmere City."

"Are the teleportation formations ready?"

Elara nodded and continued asking.

"Ready!"

Hearing the guard's reply, Elara finally smiled and reminded us as she led the way out of the underground dungeon.

"We can go save Reed now, and the other angels left in the Dark Continent..."

Tivi Palace's training grounds.

Originally our classroom, now temporarily serves as Elara's mustering area.

The hastily gathered angels weren't many, only around fifty. But this was enough to form an angel legion. The rest were either occupied with other matters or low-ranking angels who had never left Edenmere.

But Elara was still worried there weren't enough, especially calling back the First and Fifth Legions outside, cramming the training grounds. At least a few hundred angels.

"No need for long speeches. The pain from the demon invasion must wait to be licked. Also, the situation is urgent. Our main task now is rescue. So remember, don't stray too far from Edenmere's entrance, be ready to retreat on orders!"

Elara now stood on a makeshift platform, assigning tasks one by one.
