The clan representatives including the young and old once again fell into deep thinking. They were digesting everything Saint Ravens said to them and then wondering what should their next move to be.
One thing they didn't understand is why the judge cannot participate in this war. Is it because of his deal with Gaia? It is most likely, according to the majority of them.
After all, it is a rule that an Arcana Master who becomes a demigod must leave for the immortal world, or else, Gaia will be forced to push him/her into space.
Gaia doesn't just involve this planet. She is the personification of every planet that has life. Whether it is Arcana world, this blue planet, or any other one, she controls it. So, without her permission, no Arcana Master can live in any world.
Then, how come this judge is managing to stay on this planet for thousands of years?
Either he was already living in the immortal world and was only making visits for every hidden clan meeting or he had made some sort of deal with Gaia for staying here but not involved in the matters of humans in general?
They actually have no idea that Saint Ravens is none other than the guardian god who started this entire age of Arcana in the first place. They were under the impression that this guy is a demigod. That is why he was in a bind.
In any case, Saint Ravens cannot help them in this regard. That is something he had made clear.
"So, there is no use in analyzing it", thought a couple of clan heads like Qridus and Elyssa before they focused on the important matters.
After giving everyone a minute for thinking, the guardian god then brought back the unfinished matters. One, what to do with filling the vacant positions of the round table. Two, what to do with the global mass extinction?
After hearing about the invasion, everyone changed their views. They unanimously agreed to let the Sun and Dragon clans back into the group but with observer status for the next century.
They also agreed to release the prisoners in exchange for their complete cooperation regarding the war. Any traces of betrayal will result in their extermination.
As for the global mass extinction, it was left for the next hidden clan meeting. The planet still isn't in dire status yet. It was decided that they will wait.
Once the meeting is concluded, the guardian god disappeared, leaving behind Leah for her own devices to face her embarrassment.
Fortunately for her, Azzy's priorities are something else.
He asked her help to have a chat with Estella Moon regarding Gideon's whereabouts and talk with Queen Ingrid or Princess Syllia regarding Claire's situation.
If they remember him, it would have been easier for Azzy to directly talk with these acquaintances. But, the fact that they were strangers at the moment made it harder for him.
Hence, he decided to take Leah's help and she gladly agreed to his request, hoping that the incident in the illusionary realm of the guardian god will be forgotten.
Sometime later, as Qridus was sending off the guests one by one, Leah met Azzy at the palace and told him what she had found from the both of them.
It appeared that after the Moon Clan had found out about the relationship between Gideon and Estella, the clan sent a few assassins.
Gideon, who survived it due to the intervention of an anonymous expert at the right time, took his master's help and visited the Moon Clan.
When he was insulted about his common background, mediocre talent (gold grade Arcana), and a few other things, Gideon challenged the Matriarch of the clan that one day, he will return as someone powerful enough to take his girl away.
In response, Estella's mother told him that she will accept the relationship as long as he returns as a legendary realm expert within a century. Until then, she will not permit them to even see other.
After that, they met again about five years ago. It has so happened that Gideon somehow managed to enter the 8-star realm just at the age of 37 while training at Abel Tower.
However, their happy ending has been postponed when Gideon told Estella that he only came here to show his face to instill confidence in her. As for when they will reunite again, it will only be when Gideon enters the Supreme realm. He felt that only then he will really have the strength to oppose the Moon Clan.
After that, he returned to Abel Tower once again to continue his training as well as resume his duties as an elder.
As for Claire's situation, Princess Syllia just informed Leah that her sister returned to their dad's place and hasn't heard from her since then. She refused to divulge who their father was or where the place was and Leah wasn't also too keen to get those details.
She was already extremely uncomfortable in the presence of Queen Ingrid and her eldest daughter who represented the Angels or hybrid angels (Angels/Human descendants) living peacefully among the humans in the kingdom of Triastal.
Had she known before, she wouldn't have supported Syllia's relationship with her sister.
In the past, she only thought that Claire was an angel (because of her divine sword) but around sometime during the past two decades, she found out that even the queen and her eldest daughter were also angels disguised as humans.
As for what kind of enmity she had with angels, only she knows.
Anyways, for many years, she was keeping her distance from Syllia and her mother, but for the sake of Azzy and to save herself from being embarrassed to see his face again, she took the initiative to converse with them and get information on Claire, although that piece of information ended up being of no use to the boy she had a crush on.
After a while, Qridus Garcia returned to the palace and summoned Azzy to the throne hall.
As Azzy went there while expecting to receive some sort of punishment, he saw the old man alone.
The doors were closed and the noise from the inside was automatically cut off.
"What are your orders, Milord?" Azzy looked at the old man who had his back facing him.
