The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 906: The Approaching Danger?

In one part of the peaceful and beautiful garden of Aldrian's palace, Irene was with Aldrey, and both sat on one of the long chairs. They were in the middle of enjoying the scenery of the garden when one of the Xin family's elders came to convey the news. Eleine also stood not far from them as she observed and guarded Irene.

Irene's pregnancy, which had already entered the third trimester, made her abdomen noticeably bloated, and she paid special attention to her condition. Aldrey also spent most of his time accompanying her in recent days.

After they heard that Aldrian had achieved victory and was on his way home, they showed ecstatic expressions, and Irene let out a relieved sigh. Her eyes even watered slightly as she felt glad that Aldrian had succeeded and she could finally put down her worry.

Even though she was confident in her son's strength, as a mother she still felt worried. Moreover, with her pregnancy, her emotions were easily swayed, which made her feel excessive emotions.

Aldrey, who had much confidence in his son, showed a proud expression. Although he also worried about Aldrian, he firmly believed that his son would succeed and return home safely. He smiled as he looked at his wife beside him, who was almost crying in relief, and gently stroked her back.

"See? I told you he would be okay and would come back nicely," Aldrey said to calm her emotions. Irene nodded, stroking her big belly as she smiled warmly with her still-watery eyes.

"Your big brother is coming back home," she said softly.

Aldrey also smiled warmly and touched her belly. "I wonder if he will arrive before this little angel is born into the world."

Eleine, still touched by the news of Aldrian's success, looked at her masters. Both of them were truly a loving family, and seeing them like this made her remember their past that had been full of struggle, even just to meet each other. Now they could live together as a loving husband and wife, with an incredible son, and soon another child would be born.

She was truly glad that she could witness all of this. She was truly glad that Aldrian had appeared in their lives and made it all possible.

While the three members of Aldrian's family stayed together on one side of the palace, there were others in the palace's grounds who also heard the news. The spirit ancestor, her retainer, and her guardian received the same message from one of their tribe members, and they couldn't help smiling.

"Thank heavens, there was no problem with the war," the spirit ancestor's retainer said in relief.

The spirit ancestor nodded and took a deep breath. "His Majesty's name, at this moment, will spread even farther across the first heaven. This is a historic war that shows we can defeat the devils even if they have already occupied a star cluster. Countless beings will hear his name, and whether they like it or not, they will hear it," the spirit ancestor said.

"However, things will become more chaotic in the future as His Majesty grows more famous." The spirit ancestor then looked toward the sky. "There will be more challenges coming to him."

Her retainer and guardian only nodded in agreement with the old spirit. They knew that the spirit ancestor understood more about Aldrian than they did. Her ability was much stronger and more profound, which made them believe in everything she said.

-----------------------------------

While the worlds across the central star cluster celebrated and even prepared to welcome the alliance troops coming home, far away from their star cluster, unknown to any beings from the central star cluster, a massive armada of interstellar vessels was making its way toward their direction.

The scale of this armada was unlike anything before, with the number of vessels reaching hundreds of thousands!

Such an armada could easily bring hundreds of billions, or even a trillion, troops, something that would make many star clusters tremble before its might.

At the forefront of the armada was the largest vessel, and inside it, in a dark and vast cabin, a man sat in silence. He sat on his throne, and the gloomy atmosphere surrounding him, along with the darkness enveloping his figure, made anyone too afraid to approach. This was without even mentioning his terrifying aura, which felt as though it wanted to break the barrier of the mortal realm.

He was the most feared figure among the devils in the southern side of the first heaven—the vampire king, Virusius van Reinfer.

He closed his eyes as he leaned his head on his hand, appearing lazy at this moment. However, deep in his heart, he held a burning rage unlike anything he had ever felt before. He wanted nothing more than to unleash his wrath, yet he had still not encountered the target of that wrath.

He couldn't erase the teasing and mocking expression on Aldrian's face when the man spoke to him, the vampire king. Every day he remembered that face, and it filled him with a humiliation he had never experienced. After killing his son, Aldrian had shown no fear. Instead, he had mocked him, one of the four overlords.

He truly could not wait to arrive and tear that face to pieces. He would also find that man's family and kill them just as his own son had been killed. He wanted Aldrian to watch as he shredded his family to pieces!

He gritted his teeth, and his aura flared slightly as he tried to keep his rage in check.

Crack!

Suddenly, the doors leading into the cabin opened, creating a cracking sound that echoed through the vast room. A vampire entered, and after a few moments, he arrived before the vampire king and went down on one knee.

"My apologies, Your Majesty, for disturbing your time, but there is information that came from the Divine Tower," he said.

The vampire king slowly opened his eyes. His red eyes shone in the dim cabin, adding to his intimidating presence.

"What is it?" he asked.

"The Divine Tower reported that they received a vision of the entire northern star cluster of the southern region being engulfed in flames. A sign of destruction and collapse. They interpreted it as the northern star cluster being under attack from an outside force and losing. They even said that perhaps, at this moment, the northern star cluster may have already fallen into the enemy's hands," the man said.

The vampire king frowned and couldn't help clenching his teeth in irritation. The Divine Tower was a special division under him that specialized in clairvoyance using their unique technique. It was one of the most important divisions under his command, as they were truly useful for predicting or looking into anything he wished to know.

"Fucking useless. For them to lose an entire star cluster… if there are any survivors, I will kill them myself." The vampire king spoke fiercely. He was already enraged over his son's death, and now he received another humiliating piece of news. He wanted to kill anyone at this moment.

"Do they know who the enemies are that attacked the northern star cluster?" he asked.

"The Divine Tower said that some of their visions were obstructed by something, but they managed to gain a few clues. They believe the invaders came from the central star cluster," the man answered.

The vampire king's fury intensified.

The central star cluster? They attacked the northern star cluster? After all this time, they actually dared to attack his territory?

His rage grew even more overwhelming, but then his thoughts began to sharpen.

'Does this also have something to do with that man?'

He knew that even with his son dead or his armies defeated, those cultivators from the central star cluster should not have been capable of invading the northern star cluster. They were not united enough to accomplish something like that, and none of them would willingly throw away their resources for a large-scale war when they did not even know the outcome.

Unless there was someone who could unite them and force them to join the war, they could forget about attacking the northern star cluster. He couldn't help but once again remember Aldrian's face, which only made his anger rise even more.

Strange things had happened recently, and he did not know why, but his mind kept pointing toward that man.

First, their god's avatar canceled his descent, which confused him. There was no news from the apostle. Not long after, his son was killed by this unknown man who did not even fear him.

When he asked the Divine Tower to look into the identity of his son's killer, the divination ended with several of the diviners dead and others driven insane with their souls damaged.

They screamed wildly, shouting things like pleading for mercy or words such as "cannot comprehend," "a god," "too bright," which he could not understand.

It infuriated him, but also confused him, because this was the first time he had ever seen the diviners end up like that after being asked to look into something.

Although he wondered about the identity of that man, his fury and humiliation were far greater, which pushed him to continue mobilizing a large army to attack the central star cluster.

He knew that his son had been attacking that star cluster, so that star cluster was his first target. If his son died there, then he would bury the entire star cluster with him.

His eyes glistened dangerously.

'Whatever the case, that man will die, and I will give him the most horrible death.'
