Chapter 1039: 1039
"I'm Angela Elbas," The expert said, "I'm the leader of the research team sent here by the Royal Academy . It's my honor to ask the hero of the Hive to join our revolution . "
She had the aspect of a middle-aged woman with long blonde hair and brown eyes . Her facial features showed how her bloodline was quite distant from the main branch of the Royals .
The Demons turned to look at Noah, but the latter kept his eyes on Angela . Many thoughts surged in his mind, and some of them considered an eventual alliance with the rebelling forces .
However, he didn't see how helping them could benefit the Hive or their ally . It would be different if they could manage to seize control of the entire dimensional portal, but only King Elbas knew how it worked .
It was a battle lost before even starting . The Royals' leader had the most valuable and irreplaceable asset in his grasp . The revolt was hopeless unless the rebels didn't want to return to the other world at all .
Noah could never agree to that condition . The other world's value was immense due to the piece of Immortal Lands, and it had all the threats that he needed to feel pressured enough to advance .
"We only need to reach the dimensional crack," Angela continued with a voice full of excitement . "The forces on the other side will have no hope to reach this world once the only access is gone . We can reshape this continent in a paradise for cultivators led by a united organization . "
The trio could understand that Angela's belief was solid, but they had seen too much to know that it was only a dream . Cultivators would often betray and kill to seize more profits, and every organization would eventually face internal battles and revolts .
Noah and the Demons remained silent as they exchanged glances, and Angela didn't fail to understand that something was wrong . Their expressions didn't become warmer, and their cold eyes didn't accept her as one of their kind .
Only at that point did Angela consider that the legendary Noah Balvan wasn't a protector of the oppressed nor a champion of the rebels . She saw the real him for the first time .
Noah wouldn't care about the revolution unless it benefitted him, but he was interested in the study that had led to the creation of those hybrids .
Angela's wand was in Dreaming Demon's hands, and she studied it while the three of them tried to understand how to use that situation better . The most obvious option would be to use their prisoner to find the other rebels, but they had to retrieve many studies before making their move .
The trio saw a series of tattoos appearing on her uncovered skin . They depicted chains that spread on her hands and neck before releasing a humming sound .
The wand's crystal began to shine when the humming noise resounded in the area, and the creatures in the distance started to release angry roars as it continued to echo .
One by one, the chains on Angela's body broke, and the intensity of the humming sound increased, agitating more creatures in the pack . The crystal's light became more intense too, and its radiance only made the beasts in the distance angrier .
The trio acted quickly . Dreaming Demon's mental waves spread to suppress the noise, Flying Demon froze the entire area, and Noah stomped Angela's face, reducing it into ashes and creating a large fissure in the seabed .
