Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1166: Talks

[The conference hall is ready early in the morning. The projection curtain wall is on standby. It shows that it is connected to Adahua Planet. Alan nodded his head and made a gesture for Goffin and the others to leave. Since Orfasis wants to talk to him alone, he will certainly respect Great Emperor's request.

After closing the door, Alan picked up the tablet brain that Goffin had given him and sent a communication request to the other side of Adahua Planet. A moment later, an image appeared on the screen. The scene changed from blurry to clear. Apart from the several seconds of delay caused by the interstellar communication, Orfasis's figure appeared clearly on the curtain wall, allowing Alan to clearly see his movements and understand everything he said.

"Good morning, Great Emperor." Alan nodded to Orfasis in the curtain wall with the solemn attitude that was typical of Mobius.

"I'm afraid it's not very good, Mr. President." Orfasis was dressed in majestic armor, which emitted a hazy glow at all times. The crown covered with gemstones and crystal diamonds was fixed to his head, and the largest bright red crystal stone in the middle seemed to be filled with flames. Great Emperor displayed a dignified side, and the expression on his face was so solemn that it made one feel heavy.

"Did something happen?" Alan asked.

"It's a very serious matter. It concerns us. It can even be said to be the future of all life in the universe." Orfasis seemed to be organizing the words. He paused for a moment and said, "Not long ago, we just confirmed the identity of a person. Unfortunately, that person is one of yours …"

"I would like to hear more about it."

'"Before we talk about him, we have to talk about another thing. It's about the Twilight of the Universe and the Son of Twilight. It's a legend. It's an ancient rumor. And your race is still too young. I believe you don't know what the Son of Twilight is." Orfasis said in a low voice, "Time is of the essence, so I won't repeat it from the beginning." Mr. President, you only need to know that once the Son of Twilight appears, it will end all life in the universe and annihilate countless splendid civilizations in a desolate time. And now we have evidence that the Son of Twilight has been born, and regrettably, he is a human. "

Alan narrowed his eyes. "I roughly know what you mean. It sounds like an enemy of all living beings. So, Great Emperor, who is this son of twilight?"

"Alan." Orfasis emphasized, "Alan Beskard."

Alan was stunned and said, "Is it him? The child from the Beskard family? The grandson of Old Horn? Great Emperor, are you sure you won't make a mistake?"

Normally, it would be rather disrespectful to question Orfasis in such a manner. But now that Alan was shocked, he couldn't care less about this. Obviously, Orfasis didn't care about this bit of courtesy. In comparison, the matter of the Twilight Son was a hundred times more important than it was a thousand times more important. Great Emperor nodded, "Absolutely. We have compared some data. As for the specifics, it is not confidential. In short, we are certain that Allen is the son of this generation of Twilight. Because he is human, he is a member of your Federation. Out of respect for my allies, I am not in a position to act directly, so I would like you to bring Allen back and hand him over to me."

"Leave it to you?"

"Yes, I will personally go to Earth in the near future."

"Wait …" Alan shook his head, "With all due respect, let's not talk about whether the so-called Son of Twilight is real or not. Even if there is, then Great Emperor, please tell me, how can a person end the life of the entire universe? "Even if it's not easy to end all life on a planet, not to mention how many creatures there are in the universe, even you won't be able to give an exact number."

"I really can't imagine how Ellen would do all of this. With the frightening name of the Son of Twilight?" Alan said half-jokingly.

However, Orfasis wasn't in the mood to joke. His body leaned forward slightly, and an incomparably simple movement caused his pressure to greatly increase. "Mr. President," said Great Emperor, "I am seriously discussing this with you. If your race is old enough, you will know as well as we do what level of threat the Son of Twilight is. Even if this threat hasn't been revealed yet, trust me, you don't want to see it appear. Because it was too late to say anything at that time. As for how to end it, I'm sorry, but I don't know either. I only know that he has this ability. "

"Because during our ancestors' exploration of the universe, we discovered many clues left over from the previous universe, all of which pointed to the same thing. The Son of Twilight is the end of their time, and that's all I can tell you right now. Now I only need an answer. If you can't recall Alan Beskard, then it's a pity that I can only bypass your Earth Federation and make a trip to Planet Paradise myself. Orfasis spread out his hands and said, "Even though it's too rude from a diplomatic point of view." It's better to be rude than to make things worse. "

Alan was unhappy. This was not an act, but an emotion from the bottom of his heart. "Orfasis Great Emperor, I respect you and Adahua Planet," he said with a stiff face. "You are our most important ally in bringing hope to the planet. But even so, the threat is still unwise. Perhaps you can get a moment of convenience, but it will damage our friendship."

"You're right, Mr. President. I did say something wrong, but if the facts don't change, I will still do the right thing. Even if you think it's just what I think it is, I can't leave the Son of Twilight out of sight anyway."

"Well, then take a step back. If I call Ellen back and leave it to you. What are you gonna do, kill him? I have to remind you that he is not only a citizen of our Federation, he is also an important member of the Beskard family. Even if it's because of you, I still have to give Old Horn a satisfactory answer. And I don't think Old Horn cares about the Twilight Son. To him, he's an important descendant. "

"I won't kill him, at least not for the time being. From the looks of it, I don't think Alan knows his identity as the son of twilight, or that his instincts have yet to awaken. I'll keep him by my side and you know one of my daughters loves him very much. So there's no need, and I don't want to hurt him. At least until he was fully awakened to be the son of Twilight, Ellen had no life to worry about. "

"So he just lost his freedom?"

"Sacrificing part of his freedom is already lucky enough for him." Orfasis said in a deep voice.

Alan pondered for a moment and said, "Well, based on the relationship between our allies, I choose to trust you, Great Emperor. I will call Alan back and inform you at that time. What do you think?"

"That's great. This is the ideal outcome. Thank you for your trust, Mr. President." Orfasis took a step back and said, "Wait for your good news."

Communication over.

Alan looked at the projection wall without any images and fell into silence. He paced back and forth, constantly weighing the gains and losses in his mind. He waited until the corners of his mouth curved slightly before notifying General Goffin to come in. When the general entered the hall, Alan said to him, "I have an ad hoc meeting. General, please bring Fendi and Hillfa over for me. Of course, you have to attend as well. I want to hear your opinion."

General Goffin said with an excited expression, "I'm glad to be of service to you, Your Excellency," he said straightforwardly.

Alan didn't have to wait long. Twenty minutes later, the people who were qualified to participate in the meeting arrived one after another. The general of the Iron Fist Legion, Fendi, was still wearing a black-and-white striped suit. He even chewed gum and looked cynical. But who would have thought that beneath this lazy exterior, there was actually a heart that longed for slaughter? The general, nicknamed Butcher, threw himself into a chair and rested his legs on the table, looking drowsy. Alan didn't care about his disrespect. For him, as long as Fendi could faithfully carry out every order he gave, it would be enough.

Next on the scene was Hillfa.

This was the youngest general in the Federation, and Hillfa looked more like a shy teenager. He had a head of soft black shredded hair, his facial features were neutral, and his skin was a little fair. He often held a thick book in his hands. In his spare time, this youth was always reading, as if he was absorbing knowledge at any time. It is not uncommon for young people to be eager to learn, but there are very few who are still eager to learn even though they hold high positions.

Hillfa was much more polite than Fendi. He bowed to Alan before sitting in his seat. Following that, General Goffin and a few other MIA officers entered the arena one after another. Seeing that everyone was here, Alan made a gesture and naturally had a secretary close the door for this group of important people.

Alan scanned the crowd and said, "I had a brief meeting with Orfasis just now, and the Emperor gave me a shocking piece of information and asked for our help." I think it is necessary to inform you, but before that, I hope that the contents of this conversation will not be spread out. If I find out who leaked the secret, it will be classified as a first-degree felony! "

The two generals were fine, while the others gasped. Alan was very satisfied with their reaction. He lit a cigar and spat out a few rings of smoke. "The emperor wanted us to recall Alan Beskard. As for the reason, we'll talk about it later. Before that, I want to ask everyone if they know anything about the Twilight of the Universe and the Sons of Twilight. Anything is good. Tell me what you know here."

Everyone looked at each other. Alan looked at Goffin. "As the director of our federal intelligence service, hasn't General Goffin heard of it?" josei

"I'm sorry, Mr. President. This is the first time I've heard of it. I really don't know what a cosmic twilight is …" Goffin said awkwardly.

Alan sighed, "Looks like Orfasis is right. We humans are too young for this universe."
