"Ah, but listen to me. I still have their words to convey to you.", Panda said as he cast the barrier yet again.
"Whose?", Shin stared at Panda as his aura kept seeping out.
"Words of three Supreme Celestials out of twelve.", he replied calmly.
"Huh…?"
When Shin heard that, his mind seemed to clear a bit.
Panda had been saying that eight out of twelve Supreme Celestials were after his neck. Since Shin was in the mortal realm, they couldn't directly kill him and thus, they asked their followers to chase him down to the ends of the world and ensure that he dies.
However, he never got to hear about the remaining four Supreme Celestials.
Panda mentioned about them now. Instead of four, he mentioned about three Supreme Celestials and conveyed their words - what they wished for.
"They asked me to inform you about this. Although they cannot give their complete support to you since they are making themselves appear neutral, their followers will be able to provide you with some assistance during the time of need.", Happy Panda concluded with this.
Shin's rage vanished into thin air. Although this wasn't everything that he needed, it was at least better than nothing!
*gulp*
'My clan is in danger.'
'Three Supreme Celestials are pretending to be neutral but would help me if I require utmost help…'
'Eight Supreme Celestials are after me…'
'No matter what, I need to escape this place with everyone before the festival actually ends…', Shin realized the grave danger.
He asked, "Tell me, what can I do to protect my clan?"
"Where should we hide…?"
"No."
"Can we even hide from the Supreme Celestia-", Shin was trying to seek a place to be hidden when suddenly he recalled something that Kira had said not too long ago.
"Hmm…"
"That is…", Panda started to think after hearing Shin's question.
However, Shin was no longer in need of an answer. In fact, he had already found the perfect solution.
'Yes, the only place where I can run away right now for safety is…'
'The Heavenly Wolf Family!'
'According to Kira, the entire Family has remained hidden from the Supreme Celestials.'
'The West Terrain…'
'I had indeed thought about visiting that place after everything was over. It was going to be more like a picnic…'
'But after what I have just heard, it is our only option if we want to stay alive.', Shin decided immediately that he had to take an action.
"Alright then, thanks for the warning…", Shin thanked the Panda and walked past him, walking towards the door to exit the room.
'Wait, eight and three, that is eleven Supreme Celestials…'
'Who is the twelfth one…?', Shin asked himself, wanting to ask the Panda, but he didn't think that this was necessary for the moment.
But one could easily say who the twelfth member of the Supreme Celestials was - it was pretty obvious from the smug-like smile on Happy Panda.
Shin exited the room and then almost immediately summoned all the higher-ranking members to gather in their main room via telepathy.
Deoras was accompanied by the Shadow Wolf General, Raka, Terrain, Grigard King and many more had come. Blanca along with Alira had come as well, not that he had called for Alira, but she was with Blanca all this time.
Shin entered the room like a boss while all of them stood in almost a circle in the square room, bowing their heads.
Aella followed Shin closely as Shin walked up the raised seat made of bricks. He sat on top of it as he said, "You may lift your heads."
Everyone now stared at Shin, expecting to hear something important or at least interesting.
"Hmm…"
"I will keep it short.", Shin said as he cast a soundproof barrier in the entire room.
Shin then explained everything that Happy Panda had told him. He didn't miss even a single detail and made sure to make everyone aware of their situation.
Some of them were completely shocked when they heard of this. As for others, they couldn't believe that such a thing was happening.
Being a target of a Supreme Celestial is in itself something that is hard to happen, but being able to get targetted by eight of them while getting support from three, was by no means a normal feat.
Some were simply awed by the events. However, Shin was merely apologetic.
"This is all happening because of me…", he said in a low voice.
In the end, he was right. He was the one they were targetting and because of him, others were in danger.
Therefore, he could just expel others from his clan so that he could be the sole member, and that way, others wouldn't be in danger… WOULD IT REALLY BE THAT SIMPLE!?
'Heck no. It is the Supreme Celestials we are dealing with. Everyone here is nothing more than mere ants to them.'
'They wouldn't care if all the ants get crushed if, in the end, they could get what they want!' - Shin knew this way better than anyone.
Being a human, having the knowledge of how a powerful person thinks - he knew exactly how those beings would think.
But despite that, he murmured. He murmured in the lowest audible voice for a second time, "All because of me…"
"I won't blame you if you were to leave…"
And his strategy was… to get support!
"No way in hell are we going to leave!", Terrain raised his voice as if there was no tomorrow.
"Yes!", Raka voiced along with Terrain, and following him, Deoras said the same.
'Kek, easy peasy…'
Shin smirked inwardly as he saw everyone getting united and deciding to stay together no matter what.
Although it would be safer for them to leave, it would be safer for him if they stayed together.
'Informing and uniting them…'
'With this, step one is complete.'
'Now…'
'Four more steps to go. If I can complete the next four steps, our safety will be guaranteed!'
"…"
