Death… And Me Chapter 2755: No Rejection

Chapter 2755: No Rejection

"Actually, nothing much," Rean shrugged his shoulders.
Sonzei almost vomited blood. Is Rean trying to get him killed?
However, Rean quickly patted Sonzei's shoulder. "Yet, I think it would be best for your Leviathan Race to not take his bloodline as a bad thing. Instead, this is the chance for your Leviathan Race to increase its power even more before the invasion."
"Ha!" Floquei laughed. "Increase our power? You seem to not understand the power of our Leviathan Bloodline. With his meager concentration of bloodline, he wouldn't make any difference in our rankings. It is painful to even watch."
All the elders agreed with the leader. Excluding Futula's escape, they had never let the bloodline come out of their race, keeping it pure. "I say we should have him killed first and then discuss the issue about the Universe."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
The elder sounded their approval one after another.
"Hmph!" Roan, however, mocked them. "You truly don't know what is good for you. This boy alone is more than enough to defeat any of the Leviathans of your race at the same level. He can even hold on his own against a Leviathan one Realm above. And you know why? That's because he is also part of the humanoid races. We are the best at bringing out the best of what we have. Meager bloodline? So what? It is more than enough to trash any opponent."
"Impudent!" One of the elders quickly got up, ready to attack Roan.
The other elders were no different. They, too, felt enraged by Roan's proclamation.
"Wait!" Yet, Floquei stopped the elders.
"Floquei, are you letting him speak like that in front of the council?!" The elder obviously didn't like Floquei's intervention.
However, Floquei glared at them with a dark expression, making them all shut up. "Do you think I'm pleased with what I just heard? I'm obviously not. However, more than my pride, I absolutely can't take his declaration that this piece of shit here can defeat any Leviathan at the same level."
Floquei turned to everyone. "Are you okay with that? I say no! I say we should first show him what a real and pure Leviathan can do! Then, and only then, make him pay for this impudence!"
The elders narrowed their eyes, but they had to admit they also wanted to prove their race was superior. Of course, they weren't idiots. They knew they were being led by Roan's provocation to accept this test. But above all, their honor as a race had to be proved, even if they were falling for it.
One of the elders quickly got up. "Let my grandson, Zanbuan, take this boy in combat. He is a whole realm below, but he is definitely more than enough to trash him."
"There is no need," another elder spoke. "My great-granddaughter, Westra, is also one realm below, but she is very talented. There is no way she would lose to this brat."
The elders got up one after another, offering their own descendants to fight against Sonzei.
However, in the end, Floquei spoke. "I'm glad you are all with me in this. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We will arrange a battle of equal cultivations between this brat called Sonzei and a Leviathan of our race. Jokios shall take the honors."
All the elders got silent, much to Rean's surprise. He approached Olvris, asking in a low voice. 'Who is Jokios?'
Olvris faintly smiled, feeling proud. 'Jokios is a Stage Seven Leviathan. But above all, he has a very strong bloodline, even within the Leviathan race. That's one of the main requisites if a Leviathan wishes to reach the Divinity Realm in the future, just like most of the elders here and obviously myself. I brought you here to prove your point, but I don't truly believe you can do it. Hehe!'
Rean looked at Roan, who didn't seem the least bit concerned. 'Will it be fine?' he didn't see the whole training from Sonzei, after all.
'Ridiculous,' Roan answered. 'Bloodline does help in one's cultivation path, but it is far from the only factor. As long as you don't die and put in the effort, it is possible to reach the Divinity Realm. That's what I believe,' said Roan through their soul connection. 'Besides, this boy isn't complete trash, so he should be fine.'
Rean smiled. Not being a complete trash was basically one of the highest compliments you could get from Roan, after all. 'Then I will look forward to it.'
Floquei finished his conversation with the elders and returned his attention to Rean's group. "Then we will have the two fight once this meeting is over. If he loses, not only will I get him killed, but I will make the black-haired one pay for his words, too."
Roan nodded. "Fine by me."
Floquei returned to his position after that. "Now, we shall discuss what our race will be doing regarding the Universe's situation."
"First, we need to do another investigation," said one of the elders. "I trust Himalaia's ability to gather information, but he only had a few days for it. Perhaps things aren't truly as bad as he portrayed."
Himalaia didn't mind. "I'm aware that I'm not perfect and would like to carry out a more profound investigation as well. I only did what was possible within the time frame and admit I might be wrong."
The elder nodded, and so did Floquei. "Very well. Himalaia, once the meeting is over, I want you to gather a new group, a much bigger one, and spend the necessary time gathering the information. Go to the center of the Realm of Gods, and don't come back until you are absolutely sure."
"As you wish, leader!" Himalaia quickly accepted the order.
Another elder continued. "But for now, let's assume everything is real. What's our plan?"
Floquei sighed. "For now, we should get prepared. If the situation is truly that dire, we must, whether we wish it or not, help in the fight to defend our Universe. Our own sacred land and race existence depends on it."
This time, none of the elders in the room rejected it.
