Lansendel, caught red-handed, stiffened for 0.1 seconds, then quickly displayed his sunny smile: "I~ was just chatting with people on the Heavenly Mountain and mentioned that woman was here."

"You’re feeling guilty." Hill calmly looked at him, "Before, on the Heavenly Mountain, you could chat up some good gods.

But now... you bumped into Grazt, didn’t you?

But, why were you chatting with him?

He’s a Demon Prince!

Shouldn’t you be fighting him right away?"

Lansendel touched his cheek: "Ah~ am I that easily seen through now?

No, Hill, you’re definitely too sensitive.

Did you notice at all? Josh!"

Josh looked at his Main God with surprise: "My Lord, we believers, how could we dare to look directly at your face?"

Though Josh is straightforward, he’s not foolish.

Hill felt his stereotype of Dawn Believers sink another layer... they have brains, they’re not blind to another easier path, but they just insist on walking their favorite one.

Look at Josh now, how quick he reacts!

Who doesn’t know that these Dawn Believers dare to reach out and touch the Sun Peacock’s grand tail?

"Stop trying to change the subject." Shaer said mildly, "You still haven’t said why you were chatting with Grazt?"

"He was seriously injured, probably blown into some god’s divine kingdom with strong divine power." Lansendel smirked, "If I could completely keep him there, I’d definitely make a move.

But, obviously when he can escape, why should I take the fall for someone else?

Grazt is sure to retaliate against the God System that injured him.

Key is, if I helped them, I might even be blamed for stealing their prey.

I’m not that idle."

Hill blinked... instantly grasping something.

Lansendel actually knows which God System injured Grazt.

And that God System doesn’t have a harmonious relationship with him.

And it’s likely because of the so-called ’stealing monster’ issue.

The Lord of Dawn has many virtues, the most famous of which is his grudges.

He’s famous for always getting revenge whenever he thinks of it, just because he got revenge before doesn’t mean he won’t again later.

"Then why did you draw Grazt’s attention here?" Shaer could naturally deduce why Lansendel did it, "You should know, his primary grudge is surely on Igwevillev."

"Grazt is too good with words~" Lansendel said with a cheerful smile, "His words of praise almost made me lose my composure and accidentally spill the beans."

Hill silently gave him a glance and rolled a big eye inwardly.

If in the past, Grazt’s famously ’sweet-talking’ mouth had some flattery power, after the Undead appeared in Toril, his ability to use metaphors and praises to manipulate people is meaningless.

Remember, the ’Young Master’ crowd hanging out with Lansendel mostly studied art and literature.

Their endless praise could mesmerize even the little fairies at the annual flattery contest, leaving them dazzled and confused.

Having been nurtured by this for years, Lansendel letting Grazt talk him into losing focus is impossible!

This guy wanted to be tricked into revealing information by Grazt on purpose... Lansendel would never take the initiative to talk, but leaking a bit, he definitely did it.

As for whether Grazt can seize the chance and directly talk Lansendel into revealing these secrets, that’s up to Six Fingers and his skills.

Lansendel would certainly dodge the topic, but he absolutely won’t tighten his divine nerves and focus on defense for this kind of thing.

This guy, truly showcases the flair of a ’Neutral’ God System: I’m swaying left and right on my path, whether you can get something when I swing to the right depends on you.

My true intention, after all, is not to help you.

Shaer shook her head: "You really fear the world isn’t chaotic enough."

"I didn’t know, there’s another Set to worry about!" Lansendel, found out in his little act, became even more open, "You say, that Igwevillev thing, am I supposed to confront her myself?

Of course, I wouldn’t lose, but even if I win, what good is it?

Igwevillev, the reason she’s living so comfortably, isn’t it because she always has no real value?

Besides, keeping her around would disgust Grazt and many guys she borrowed seed from.

Otherwise..."

Lansendel didn’t continue, but Hill already understood his thoughts.

Igwevillev’s most famous trait is that if she can win, she’ll try every way to capture a decent man to play with.

If she can’t win, she’ll strip in the field and moan in reverse.

Josh definitely isn’t a match for Igwevillev.

So, in the end, Lansendel himself has to act.

Why should he embarrass himself?

It’s obvious, given the nature of the Undead Tribe, that they will undoubtedly broadcast the entire process live, recording everything comprehensively... The lack of high-definition scenes on the Undead Tribe’s tablet doesn’t mean William and the others can’t see the true landscape.

Lansendel definitely doesn’t want to be the one laughed at as a background character.

Now that everything has happened, what’s the point of taking down Igweville?

Of course, Lansendel could think of a way to lead the Witch Queen to Sia Tower and let Asmodeus deal with that nuisance.

But clearly, Grazt is much more convenient!

He simply disregarded the lives of humans in this world, bringing in the demons, the greatest enemies of the devils, who would inevitably entangle with them until the end of the world.

But this is actually something that was bound to happen sooner or later.

Of course, this kind of behavior is still not good... If the demons appeared a bit later, maybe the humans in this world could reach a certain height.

But why would Lansendel bother with such trivial matters?

The humans in this world haven’t done anything to satisfy him anyway.

Hill sighed, unable to help but shake his head, "It seems this world can only head towards the Styx."

In the beginning, if the mages of this world still had a chance to escape the Styx’s control, from this moment on, that single thread of hope has been completely severed.

In a world where both devils and demons appear together, if there’s not enough foundation and confidence to support it, it will either explode completely or become a plane of the Bottomless Abyss.

Just like Gerns back then.

If it weren’t for Teraxil reaching out, that world was really just a step away from slipping into the Abyss.

And compared to this most tragic result, the Styx, which is neutral and makes no demands of the creatures that control the world... actually not caring at all... is the best path.

Lansendel’s Dawn Tower from now on also loses its significance as the sole beacon of light amidst the evil.

Even if this world eventually can’t find a single believer to use, it can rely on the Dawn Stone to become a fully automatic tower... With the Undead Tribe around, there’s not even a worry about the energy recharge every fifty years being a problem.

As for when the Undead Tribe is gone... If the Undead leave, why would Lansendel care about this world?

Probably, after confirming this world is dual core, Lansendel decided not to let his own people suffer here, right?

Only until now has his intention been exposed.

After all, he couldn’t let Josh’s hard work over the years go to waste entirely.

The credit for driving out evil must at least be given to their Chosen One.

Hill took a deep breath... once again warning himself internally, in this multiverse, those who live long and well are all cunning.

"Don’t worry~ Your students will be very safe instead." Lansendel understood his friend very well.

Although Hill is kind-hearted, he won’t meddle unnecessarily... The humans of this world can’t possibly evoke compassion from his friend.

The only ones he worries about are his two students.

Especially Russell, who is bound to this world’s Line of Destiny.

Lansendel said very seriously, "This world will inevitably descend into chaos.

This will actually be very beneficial for Russell, the Undead Tribe can help him accomplish many things.

You shouldn’t feel that you’re taking advantage of his misfortune; being able to detonate all potential threats at this time is actually a good thing for this world."

Hill smiled helplessly... It’s a good thing for the world.

But for the humans of this world, it isn’t.

How many will be able to survive after being sifted through this great storm?

If, when the Undead Tribe arrived in this world, Josh had established the camp in that refugee camp, then the Undead Tribe would naturally have had a relationship with the humans of this world... and would have helped them a bit during times of disaster.

But now, the refugee camp is just like a mere backdrop in the eyes of the Undead Tribe.

Who would care about a group of NPCs who are undoubtedly doomed when disaster strikes?

Clearly, the ancestors of the Defense Tower crafted the safest future for them, but they...

Every choice in the past determined the present life and death.

Hill suddenly thought of that Alchemist Master from the Hainarson Family.

Given his status, he could actually have arranged for certain members of his family to enter that refugee camp.

It’s known that he was truly sent to his death alongside the entire Defense Tower.

As a technical personnel, he wasn’t someone from the Sia Tower who needed to be eliminated at all costs.

The reason he didn’t put a few of his family members inside was probably because he had long felt their unreliability.

The style of the Hainarson Family is really out of harmony with the Delphus Family.

If their family entered that refugee camp, they wouldn’t have ended up well at all.

But now it seems that the ones left outside, tossed around and suffering greatly, the Hainarsons, can actually survive till the end.

"By the way, Hill." Lansendel glanced at the giant screen and turned to ask his friend, "Isn’t the Undead Tribe planning to open a battlefield in this world?

It’s quite fitting too, not mentioning the lack of people, it’s all Evil Faction fighting.

No matter who dies, it’s not a loss."
