Inside the Kings Court, a very intense argument was occurring.

Two, no, it should be three factions started clashing with views. Ashetarah’s faction, the Dragon Kings’ faction and Allen’s faction which was only composed of Alkrasha.

The two former factions had viewed Allen, the taboo king as a very dangerous king that needed to be restrained but Alkrasha wouldn’t let that happen.

And at this very moment, the other Monster King who had gone neutral, the Sea King, King Oceanus suddenly appeared on the threshing ground.

It could be said that he wasn’t taking any sides just like Alkrasha but due to the Monster King’s War, some of his people have gotten affected and several Fishman villages all over the world had come and visit Atlantis to seek for help.

This war must be stopped! Oceanus thought. And if not… he will stop it!

“Just like what Cris said, the other Monster Kings will create a faction for him,” Aemie muttered. “Some will walk under his banner in their own will while some will be pushed by other kings due to their panic and anxiety, causing them to lose their faith in them…”

Oceanus suddenly standing with Alkrasha startled the other Monster Kings.

“This meaningless war you have, just what good will it do?” Oceanus angrily pounded the table. “Claiming the world? Conquering other races? Just what good will it do but satisfy your over increasing egos!”

“We are the Guardians of balance that maintain the Monster world and separate it to the human world so it wouldn’t destroy the scale! That’s what we are! Our purpose!!”

“You do know that if two worlds collide, only one will survive! Then what are you doing right now? You’re destroying a world!”

“Then what Oceanus!?” Ashetarah cried out. “You will just let the taboo king run wild? Is that what you mean by protecting the balance?!”

“Mind your words, Ashetarah!” Alkrasha snarled. “My husband is not what you think he is! He wouldn’t destroy anything!”

“Stand down! Insect Queen! The taboo king killed two Monster Kings… SI.MUL.TAN. EOUSLY! And you say that he wouldn’t destroy anything!?”

“He only did that to survive Ashetarah! He wouldn’t just offer his head obediently if it was asked!”

“He’s a Fallen! He’s a fallen right now! Who knows what he is at this very moment!!”

“Don’t speak a venture Ashetarah! My husband wouldn’t succumb to insanity! I give you my word, my husband is not that weak!” Alkrasha suddenly pulled a dagger and placed it in the roundtable. “If my husband had really fallen and devoured by the fell, I will give you my life!”

With that pledge, the entire room was suddenly enveloped by silence. Even Ashetarah was stunned.

“Are you insane!? The promise inside the Court will never be broken!”

Pledging with your life is like giving your life. If she was mistaken then she will certainly die.

But was she really that confident?

During the resonance, the ‘thing’ that killed the Monster King of Demise was a King devoured by insanity!

He had already fallen!

Alkrasha grins. Her face never showed any hesitation or doubt. “My husband, Allen Bando is a real King! And a King would never fall… unless he betrayed his oath and belief… unlike you.”

“Are you insulting us? Insect Queen!?”

Ashetarah’s body burned and turned into a hellfire in a blink of an eye.

“Watch your words, if you don’t want to fall…”

“You think that I feared you, Ashetarah?” Alkrasha flashed a wicked grin and her entire body flashed a beautiful rainbow color. “Can you keep up?”

““Enough!”” Suddenly, as the two was going to clash, two voices overlapped, echoing in the entire place.

One was from the extremely familiar monster king who was munching a pear nonchalantly while watching the events played with half-open eyes.

The other was a man with flaming red hair and red eyes. The man looks around 50 – 60 years with a long red beard and a pair of horns protruding at the top of his head. He looked like an old man but his body speaks otherwise. He was vigorous and his muscles bulged like they were sculpted from rocks.

They were none other than, East’s Monster King; Known as the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Gorgeous Monkey King; Sun Wukong and the king of the strongest species; Fire Dragon King; Fafnir.

“Ashetarah, I think giving the taboo king a chance to show himself, is quite the better way to resolve this issue.”

“The Monkey King is right… with the death of the Three Monster Kings, the balance had returned to its proper course. There is no need for the Monster world to mingle with the world of humans…” Fafnir spoke with a deep and rough voice. “Besides, we will need to welcome our new brother, when the time comes… don’t you think?”

“… …” With the interference of these two Kings, Alkrasha and Ashetarah gradually calmed down.

“There will be a truce for quite some time… until a better solution was proposed.”

“If the Insect Queen said is right, that the Human King still keep his sanity then I think, it would be the best action to invite him to this Court…” The Dragonking looked around the other Kings. “You don’t have any problem with it… do you?”

“… …”

The Other Monster Kings kept their silence; in any case, this war for them was never a necessity or an importance. It was just nothing but killing time…

This was just a Game…

A play…

They just watched the development with indifferent eyes.

“Then, the Insect Queen will give our regards to her husband, the Human King and better tell him to come over in the … understood?”

“I will.”

“Now then, please excuse me… I’m tired and I want to rest and sleep,” As he said, Fafnir stood up and disappear.

Ashetarah glared at Oceanus and Alkrasha before she left, followed by most Monster Kings who decided that the fun had already end…

Back in the Bianchi Mansion.

All of that happened had already been predicted by Allen, as he was certain that any moment, he would certainly be called to the King’s Court.

“Then what will you do?” Sara asked worriedly. She had already seen and experiences a Monster King’s power and she knows that their power is many times stronger than any Superhumans in the world.

Allen leisurely sipped at a ceramic mug of creamy coffee latte. Rising tendrils of fragrant steam eased his mood.

“I will do nothing…” he answered with a shrug. “The Kings Court was nothing but a gathering of Monster Kings… even if I am wrong and they wanted to come and hunt me down, they can’t do it. I am a Monster King, there are protocols that needed to be done if they wanted to eliminate me… and first of them is to come and see me first.”

KNOCK! KNOCK!

“Come in.”

Pushing open the wooden door, Allen entered leisurely.

Mia’s personal lair is bigger than he had imagined lit brightly with an open flow, simple but still has all the essentials. Mia is at the far corner of the office, sitting behind a large desk and looking down to review a report.

Mia works with seriousness. The sunlight outlines her body highlighting her youth and beauty. Allen could not help but stare in awe.

“What is it?” Mia raised her head and the moment she saw Allen, her stern eyes immediately softened.

“Nothing, just come and play… serious?” Allen smiled.

“There’s nothing, it’s just a report about the Church’s movements that’s all…”

“Divina?”

Mia nodded. Allen received the paper and read.

It was about all about the ongoing Holy War against the Vampires living in Transylvania and the Witches who for some reason had attacked the Church, in Vatican. Though, it doesn’t seem to be that the Vampires and the Witches were working together.

Allen frowned. “Witches? Which race? Apart from the war against the Vampires and Werewolves, I didn’t remember anything about the Witches…”

“That’s what I’m also wondering…” Mia nodded with a complicated expression. “Although the Church seems to have given up in making a conflict against you, this war will likely propagate…”

“The Church is now asking for reinforcements from other organizations… of course, I am included…”

Allen’s lips suddenly curled into a smirk. “When did the Church become so sensible? I am actually expecting for them to move immediately after my appearance… did you do something?”

Mia shook her head and with a faint smile, she said. “I didn’t… well, your power most likely has made the unexpected effect… being your enemy with that kind of power is nothing but made by foolish man…”

However, most likely, it was ‘her’ doing… Mia had a different possibility.

She knows about Maria’s return just like Mark and Daniel and probably with the other Kings as well… as for where they were right now, Mia doesn’t know clearly but they should also be building their own forces at this very moment.

Everything will come down in that very moment, the day she was waiting for. They will surely start to move and Mia would immediately know that if they did…

She will respond with appropriate measures if necessary…

As for Maria, she had tried contacting her but Mia ignored her. She might look like an innocent maiden but she was actually a fox… a cunning fox.
