The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1046: Helping Each Other

King Darius and his advisor released a sigh almost at the same time.

"No, Your Excellency, I believe you, because now it all makes sense. Just like my advisor here said, now it all makes sense why the devils in this world seemed to change their strategy in this war," King Darius said.

"With the Vampire King going to the central star cluster with his huge army, he must have also called many of the devils that were spread across many places, including this world. We detected some huge movements of the devils departing from this world toward an unknown location more than a year ago."

"If we match it with Your Excellency’s story, then it fits that those devils were departing to the central star cluster. Now, with the death of the Vampire King and his army, the devils here or anywhere under his rule will lack support, which makes them move carefully in the war. They cannot just recklessly advance like in the past."

King Darius smiled. "Indirectly, Your Excellency has helped our world again. Now that we know the Vampire King is dead, we can fight more confidently."

Aldrian also smiled before he sipped his tea. "I’m glad that I could be of great help."

"Your Excellency, why did you become entangled with someone like the Vampire King? You are so far away in the central star cluster, and for him to bring his large army there, there must have been something that made him decide to visit the central star cluster personally," King Darius asked.

"I killed his favorite son, as he also tried to invade the Ancient Blue Gate World," Aldrian replied, causing the three listeners to be astonished.

The king sighed. "Amazing. I think Your Excellency is the only one I could see talking about killing someone of the calibre of the Vampire King and his family as if it were something easy to do. But after seeing what Your Excellency can do, I suppose that Your Excellency is the only one worthy to say such a thing."

Putting aside how Aldrian could make a meteor fall, how in the world could he create black holes, not only one or two, but many? And then merge them into a single massive black hole, which could then be exploded?

Could a mortal human really do that?

If Aldrian said that he was an immortal or a god, he might believe it. The king smiled at the thought.

"Actually, together with the other powers of this world, we had already arranged a plan in the past. A desperate plan, you may call it, to send someone to the Ancient Blue Gate World to ask for help with the current war if the situation did not change," he said.

"Although many of us thought the news about Your Excellency might be too exaggerated or even nonsense, there were others who hoped, like me, that this news was true and that Your Excellency could help us. We even prepared something so we could formally request Your Excellency’s help."

"But to think that the heavens brought Your Excellency here, I believe our world is truly blessed."

The king paused and sipped his tea before looking at Aldrian solemnly.

"Your Excellency, you said that you will end the devils’ occupation of the central region of heaven. Are you going to do it alone? How are you going to continue your journey? As far as I know, Your Excellency is using an unknown means of transportation to reach this place in such a short time."

Aldrian nodded. "Yes, I am planning to do it alone. I do not want to drag anyone into something this dangerous. This is also my personal decision to attack the devils in the central region of heaven, so I do not think it would be good to bring anyone on this dangerous journey."

"As for my transport, well, I am using a method that might sound absurd to you. I use a teleportation gate that can connect the Ancient Blue Gate World to the central region of heaven." Hearing that, the king and the others widened their eyes.

"Well, there was a disturbance in space and I was thrown into this world. That is why I am here. Now that I am already here, I am planning to look for anyone who can lend me an interstellar vessel to the central region of heaven."

King Darius and the others seemed to simply accept whatever Aldrian said at this point. Everything he did was already outside of their comprehension, and trying to understand it with their current knowledge would only make them lose their minds.

To think that there was a possible method to travel instantly between the central star cluster and the central region of heaven.

Although there had been a disturbance and Aldrian was thrown into this place, it was still a fact that he reached this world in a short time, something never heard of before. That alone was enough to revolutionize how civilizations travel between distant worlds.

King Darius set aside the matter of the teleportation gate and focused instead on the fact that Aldrian was looking for someone willing to lend an interstellar vessel.

The king’s eyes brightened at the prospect that he could help Aldrian.

"If Your Excellency wants it, I can lend you one interstellar vessel from our family. But I can imagine what those operators will think the moment they know Your Excellency wants to go to the central region of heaven. All of them will hesitate," King Darius said.

Aldrian smiled. "That is enough. I am truly thankful to Your Majesty for the offer of the vessel. I will compensate Your Majesty later."

King Darius waved his hand. "As long as it can help Your Excellency, I will help as best as I can. Moreover, Your Excellency has a great purpose in eliminating the devils that have occupied the central region of heaven for so long. How could I not help you with that? Instead, I am glad that I—no, that my family—might also contribute greatly to the future of the First Heaven."

Aldrian raised his eyebrows. "You believe in me that much?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

King Darius was still smiling. "Well, after seeing and hearing all the things Your Excellency has done, I simply want to place my bet on Your Excellency’s successful journey. I cannot even understand Your Excellency’s existence itself, because so many of the things you have done overturn common knowledge, no offense, Your Excellency."

"I choose to believe that Your Excellency might succeed in leaving your name in the history of the First Heaven, a history that will always be remembered."

Aldrian nodded. "I see. Then it looks like I have to do my best so that I do not fail Your Majesty’s expectations and the bet you have placed on me."

King Darius and the others chuckled.

"But before I depart, I will help this world get rid of the devils," Aldrian said, which made King Darius, his advisor, and Prince Mistar’s expressions turn ecstatic.

If Aldrian helped them, then their victory was certain!

A man who could face the Vampire King and his army would treat the devils in this world as nothing more than a snack.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. If Your Excellency helps us, it will be a certain victory for us. Those devils will not know what is coming for them," King Darius said, unable to hide the excitement in his voice.

Aldrian smiled and sipped his tea before he continued.

"Also, we have to do something about the spies that have already infiltrated deep within the kingdom. And I am not talking about those lower-rank troops, but the higher ones. There is a possibility that those devils have already spread their influence among some nobles."

King Darius and the others frowned, and the prince’s expression turned solemn.

"Does Your Excellency think so? We have traitors among the high-ranking nobles?" he asked.

Aldrian nodded. "Yes. In fact I have already met one of the nobles who is under the devils’ influence."

Prince Martis sighed in exasperation while the other two frowned deeply.

"As I thought, there are indeed traitors among the nobles. I just could not shake the feeling that something was wrong when we gathered. There were a few times when I could not help but think that among those who gathered with me, there might be some who had become the devils’ spies," the prince said.

"So who is the one that Your Excellency found to be the devils’ spy?" he asked solemnly.

"Marquess Beruin," Aldrian answered.

The prince sighed once again, and as for the king and his advisor, they looked as if they already suspected something.

"Marquess Beruin, huh? As I thought, the way he changed how he handled matters inside his territory was truly strange. That must be because he is a devil spy," King Darius commented.

"Marquess Beruin’s situation is different from the other spies that were already caught," Aldrian then explained the possession method to them. He also explained that there might be more than one body under the devils’ possession.

After he finished explaining, understanding dawned upon them, and they could not help but show grim expressions.

"This is troublesome. Basically, they are not yet dead, but their consciousness is trapped within their own souls," King Darius said.

"Yes, and with more than one noble possibly under possession, it will create chaos in the kingdom if the people find out about it. Those devils might also do something desperate if we discover their scheme," Advisor Ceraz commented in a grim tone.

Aldrian also pondered for a moment about how he would take care of the possession problem. The others were thinking the same.

After a few moments of thought, Aldrian finally opened his lips.

"I think I have an idea on how to deal with this possession problem, at least within this kingdom."
