Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1008 Reason

"Grand Overseer, I think this will be beneficial for the alliance, and for the Nephilim faction as well. After all, the Earthlings are still considered citizens of your galaxy. As such, the progress they make will benefit you. Therefore, it wasn't wrong to say it's a win-win situation for both sides."

The suggestion that Headmaster Delbrand had just said was so unexpected, Emery and his friends didn't know how to respond to such terms.

Even both Lord Izta and the Eastern Sage were at a loss for words when they heard it. It was almost certain that the duel would be a battle between magus-level or above figures. Hence, they couldn't help but wonder whether 50 years will be enough.

On the other hand, the same situation happened to the other side. It appeared that they were also not sure about this term.

The Grand Overseer addressed the headmaster saying, "Headmaster Delbrand, now that I see both sides are having trouble with the terms, in my experience with many disputes, this is a good progress."

On Emery's side, Julian turned to Lord Izta asking, "Lord Izta, is there really no other way? I mean, is it possible for us to ask for support from any other faction, like the Harlight for example, or can't the Magus Alliance do anything about this?"

It was Fuxi who answered, "Even if we, hypothetically, have support from one of the Grade 5 factions, it will still be hard for the other party to take actions since our planet is located in the Nephilim-ruled galaxy. What they are offering us at the moment is the promise of the Nephilim faction's main family to stay neutral in our dispute with their branch family."

Hearing such an explanation, Emery couldn't hold himself from letting out a sigh and said, "Then it's just like what the headmaster thought, that this is the best solution." The sage hesitantly nodded hearing that.

After that, Emery turned to face his close companions: Julian, Thrax, Chumo, and Klea before saying, "A lot of things have happened in the last 5 years, and I am sure that we can improve much in the next 50 years as well." With a look full of determination, he stared at the four of them. "Therefore, I believe we should give this a try,"

It would appear that the others were of the same opinion as him. However, right at the moment before they agreed on the matter, the opposite side, Zeus, spoke up to express his disagreement with the idea suggested by Headmaster Delbrand.

"Unfortunately we cannot accept such terms," said Zeus, which made all the attention of everyone in the room immediately turn to him.

"Tell me, why is that?" asked the Grand Overseer.

"With all due respect, Grand Overseer, we have mentioned in our latest report about the situation on Earth, and unfortunately whatever dispute we are having, it must be solved as soon as possible."

The grand overseer appeared to be a little confused as a result of the statement, and it was actually Jinkan who went ahead and clarified the matter.

"You can check it here, uncle."

The Nephilim girl gave the grand overseer a little cube that was filled with information. Silence fell in the room as the grand overseer perused the information he had just obtained.

Those in Emery's group were staring at each other. Such a situation quickly made them turn anxious, especially Emery. "What is going on?"

After looking at the data, the grand overseer could be seen furrowing his brow. It appeared that he had just received new information that changed his mind. Following that, he turned his head to look at Emery's side and said,

"Unfortunately, it's true. With this data, I agree that 50 years will be too long, and the most we can agree on is 20 years; you two must settle this dispute within that time"

After hearing this, Kronos was the only one who broke into jubilant cheer once again and said, "Yes, we agree. 10 versus 10 duels in 20 years. I look forward to this!"

"This is bullshit!"

Lord Izta, in sharp contrast with Kronos, immediately raised his voice as he once again turned to rage. What's more, it seemed like the rest had the same feeling. Emery's side certainly would not accept such changes without any reasonable explanation.

In the midst of the tension, it was Headmaster Delbrand who once again stepped up to the center and spoke in a calm manner, "Please Grand Overseer, I believe an explanation is needed here."

"Of course, The reason we can't wait that long is because the recent report indicates that planet Earth 1002 has just reached level 5 maturity."

Emery could see how Fuxi's face quickly turned pale when he heard the words stated by the Grand Overseer. On the other hand, Lord Izta appeared to be in a state of disbelief. In the next moment, he exclaimed.

"No, this simply can't be true!! Not possible, it's too soon!" He glared at Kronos who was smiling wickedly and started shouting in a stern tone, "What did you do!?"

"Calm down, junior... It's all part of the natural process."

"You lying bastard!" Izta yelled at him as if he had lost his temper.

Seeing the sudden chaos, Emery, who had been silent up until a few moments ago, was unable to keep quiet anymore. "I'm sorry, but please tell us what does it actually mean?"

The Grand Overseer was about to explain to him, yet right before he began his explanation, Jinkan suddenly interrupted and said, "Please let me be the one to explain it, uncle," which was then followed by the latter's nod of agreement.

The young lady stared at Emery with a smile on her face as if she was finally able to let something out that she had been keeping to herself for a while.

"Emery, this is what I have been trying to tell you while we were in Andora. It really amuses me that, till the end, you didn't get how similar your planet to Andora is."

The words stated by the girl quickly made Emery's heart beat rapidly.

"You see Emery, level 5 maturity means that your planet is just one step away from reaching a calamity stage.. give or take 30 to 50 years," Jinkan paused for a moment. With a smile on her face, he continued, "Did the wisp on your planet not warn you about this?"

The reveal of calamity was such a shock that made the liberation problem seem such a small issue. Emery finally understood

Just like tangled threads starting to intertwine, one by one the shrouds of mystery that blocked his vision began to become clear to him. He assumed that this was the reason why Gaia had been silent and this was probably what the vision Gaia showed was all about.
