"We are not enemies!" Phoebe blurted out.
Such a conditioned reflex made her feel a little embarrassed, but what could she do? One Haru was enough to suppress her and there were also the other two Supreme Goddesses, one of them even comparable to peak Supreme Gods.
If Haru regarded her as an enemy, she'd never escape and even if she fled, Haru, who had mastered the Space-Time Law, could reverse time and force her back. In front of the Space-Time Lord, no enemy could escape.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Aetherium Empire! I am the Supreme Goddess of Arboriel—Phoebe, the Forest Goddess! We have a common enemy, the Dimensional Demons!"
"Is that so?" Haru said lightly, "Since we have a common enemy, why didn't you appear when our empire was slaughtering those Demons? You didn't appear until we captured Tenebris and killed the Demonic Gods including Miltonic and Dantean?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Phoebe smiled bitterly, "I didn't want to take advantage, but the demons are too strong, and we Arboriel's natives can no longer stand up. If the siege plan fails, I'd fall at the demons' hands—then the remaining natives would also be slaughtered! My sole purpose in life now is to make sure that Arboriel's legacy doesn't end. Please forgive me!"
After years of fighting, the demons have left an extremely deep impression on her. She didn't believe that the Great Aetherium could win. However, contrary to her expectations, the empire achieved a clean and absolute victory. Not only did they kill the two Demon Lords, they also destroyed the tens of thousands of Demon Nests to prevent the Abyss from sending reinforcements.
If only she'd known, she would have definitely cooperated with Haru to attack Tenebris. She couldn't help but feel regret.
"Of course, your understanding of our strength wasn't enough!" Haru said with a flat expression, "Everyone has their own burdens!"
"Your Majesty is merciful!" Phoebe gave a wry smile and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving Arboriel natives and taking back the plane world for us. Your kindness will never be forgotten!"
Haru waved his hand, "I didn't do it to save you!"
Phoebe just pretended not to hear this. She was still very grateful.
Haru asked, "Were the Tree Elves of your Arboriel also created by the Elunara?"
"No, Your Majesty!" Phoebe shook her head, "Us Tree Elves are born through the power of nature, not from the Elven Mother Tree. We have nothing to do with Elunara!"
"No wonder your aura is so different from the Nature Elves." He looked at Celestia, "With your current strength, are you sure you can suppress it?"
Celestia naturally knew who Haru was referring to by 'it', "If we add the Lord and Yvonne's strength, there shouldn't be any problems!"
"Good! Let's visit the fourth layer!"
Celestia and Yvonne bowed respectfully and left with him. Before leaving, Haru destroyed the entire Tenebris and soon, he harvested numerous architectural blueprints—including the large cannon's blueprints.
_____________
[Architectural Blueprints - Abyssal Wrathblaster]
[Grade: God Tier]
[Description: This is a cannon developed by the Dimensional Demon Race of the Abyss. It uses the evil power of the Abyss as kinetic energy and has a very terrifying destructive power.]
[Attack: 110 Million Points]
[Warning: Whatever force builds this building joins the Dimensional Demon Faction!]
[Construction requirements: 80 million units of Refined Iron, 100,000 Divine Crystals]
_____________
"It's a pity! The cannon's power was so very terrifying, yet I can't build it." Haru didn't want his empire to join the Dimensional Demons' faction.
This blueprint couldn't be used directly. It could only be handed over to the equipment masters to decrypt the core data.
After destroying Tenebris, Haru also obtained many Divine Crystals—more than three million. This was an amazing number!
'Those Demonic Gods should have obtained these by stealing Divine Power from Arboriel's Laws. Now, it all belongs to me!' Haru put all the loot into his storage ring. He made a lot of money today and the smile on his face was getting brighter!
…
The three didn't stay long. Going straight through the passage in the center of the ruins, they went to the fourth layer of underground space—Arboriel's core where the laws and remnants of natives were located.
Phoebe's face had an envious expression. Haru harvested millions of Divine Crystals, all at once, but soon, she put the emotions behind her. Following Haru and the others, she also returned to the fourth layer.
Seeing Haru and the three enter the inner world, in Phoebe's heart, suddenly an ominous premonition inexplicably arose.
"Why do I feel this way?" The Forest Goddess frowned tightly.
