Chapter ?1916 Just Why He Doesn't Notice It?

"Ahem..." Placake quickly recovered. "If that's the case, then you have nothing to worry about. It's not like our territory doesn't have a few humanoid powers, either. It's just that they're small and wouldn't try to do anything to the demon beasts. Isn't that the same on your humanoid side? There should be many demon beast locations there."

Rean nodded in response. "There are, indeed. Not allowing any demon beast would only contribute to weaker experts."

"The same goes for us," Placake added. "Having humanoid races that our demon beasts can fight against helps those with sentience to know what to expect when not fighting other demon beasts. If you don't stop us from looking inside, then I have no need to do anything to you bunch. First of all, you'd be a weak humanoid force inside the demon beasts' territory."

Rean looked at Placake for a moment and then asked Roan through their Soul Connection. 'What do you think?'

'He doesn't seem to be lying,' Roan finally said something after all this while.

'Good to know you're still alive,' Rean couldn't help but mention. Soon after, he decided to take the sect out. "Alright, then. Where exactly can I take my sect out? I want it to be a place where my members can go out and gain experience."

Placake looked straight at Mladrem after that. "We do have some empty space near here, right?"

Mladrem nodded in response. "We do. The Krilatos Region is just a few thousand kilometers from here and is controlled by the Dragon Race. Then again, we have quite a few different demon beasts around there, including a good amount of sentient ones. That should work for a case like this."

Placake was satisfied with the answer. "Krilatos Region, huh? I remember when it had a different name. Oh well, it was quite a long time ago." He put those thoughts behind his head right after. "Anyways, I'll have one of the members of my Dragon Race bring you there."

That was more than enough for Rean. "Great! Is there anything else you need to discuss? If not, just gather the demon beasts or other races' Formation Masters you have in your forces and send them to me. They have to be willing to learn and not cause trouble just because I'm a human."

"That's a given." Placake agreed with Rean. "Rawor, I know you're watching. Come here."

"U-Uncle, I didn't do that on purpose. It's just that you suddenly left. You hadn't done it in so long, so I got curious when you'd come back," said the Blue Dragon as he appeared. He wasn't an Azure Dragon, though. Instead, he was a simple Water Dragon. Then again, that was still a Divine Demon Beast bloodline.

"Enough with your bullshit. You like to play with our old bloodline formations, so I think you could benefit from this quite a lot. Bring Rean there and help him find a place for his sect. After that, you can stay to learn about Circuitry Formations from him."

Rawor's eyes glistened in response. "Y-Yes, uncle!" After that, he looked at Rean. "You heard uncle. Let's go!"

"Uh... sure. Lead the way." Rean simply agreed.

After the two departed, Linfia once again spoke out about her concerns. "I think you're giving way too much freedom to that human."

Placake shook his head in response. "You're very experienced, but you still couldn't detect any lies, right?"

Linfia didn't deny that. "True. However, it's not like it's some special ability of my Blue Luan Race. It's just the experience I gathered after dealing with the humanoids for so long. It isn't infallible." At the same time, she thought, 'He also noticed my... my... ah! I have to give him a beating! No, first, I need to make sure he doesn't open his mouth!'

Placake just smiled in response. "Then let's see how things go from here on out. If you want, I can make you responsible for looking after them."

"No way!" Linfia immediately refused. "Why do I have to keep watching a bunch of ants 24/7? They have your claw in their bodies, so you deal with it!" Sure enough, she thought it to be beneath her to do such a thing. It's just that she intended to pay Rean a visit to discuss that 'matter.'

Placake already expected that. "Sigh... then don't complain about it. Don't worry. Krilatos Region is very close, so I can keep my Divine Sense there if I get closer. I haven't done much in a long time since we stopped the devils, so it can serve as good entertainment."

"'I'll still go there to check if they're doing something wrong with my bloodline formation from time to time, though." Linfia needed an excuse to go there, and the bloodline formation she gave to Rean was the perfect one.

"Sure." Placake didn't see anything wrong with that.

Mladrem was still worried. "What about the humanoid races? Could they try something?"

Placake shook his head, saying, "I'm more preoccupied with the devils. If they find out about the twins' capabilities, they might try something weird. The angels have a hard time coming to the Realm of Gods due to the conquered Temporal Gap, so we can't expect much help from them either."

"Hmph!" Gardo snorted after hearing the word angels. "Most of them are probably dead already or returned to Heaven. They wouldn't help even if they could. Those guys only care about Heaven."

"That's not true." In response, Placake shook his head. "There are still a few angels in the Realm of Gods. Don't forget that just like demons, angels also have a reason for wanting to come to the Realm of Gods. Well, getting help from them would still be difficult."

"There are still some around?" Gardo was surprised to hear that. "Forget it. If you hadn't mentioned it before, that's because there was no need for it."

Placake didn't deny it. "Indeed. As I said, we can't expect much help from them."

Gardo turned around, preparing to leave. "Alright, I'll stay around as always. Call me if you need anything."

"The same goes for me." Mladrem also took decided to leave.

Placake nodded and looked at Linfia, asking her, "What about you?"

"I'm going with you to check on a few things," she answered. Naturally, that was a lie. She just didn't want to waste the opportunity and the excuse to stay with Placake.

"Suit yourself," Placake answered.

Placake and Linfia departed straight away, leaving Mladrem and Gardo behind. The two looked at each other and sighed. "Just why doesn't he notice it? Even that human saw through it." Then again, that wasn't their problem, as they didn't want to get into a fight with Linfia. "Forget those two. It has been like this for countless years, so it's useless to try and change anything now."

In the end, the two also opened fissures in the fabric of space and disappeared inside.
