Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil

Chapter 1903 Situation In Anfang P2

1903 Situation In Anfang P2

After the weakening of the world-isolating barrier, attaining Clarity became much easier for the Children of Echidna.

In fact, some Echidnae children were now being born without the chaotic alterations previously seen in their blood and psyche.

It appeared that Anfang's World Will had grown more accustomed to integrating the Children of Echidna into its world fabric after the removal of restrictions.

Goblin Sovereign Loma, Ogre Sovereign Rawood Khal, Orc Sovereign Kayini, and Gnoll Sovereign Parmar had planned to depart Anfang and join Kirin on the Monster Continent Echidna.

Utilizing the resources and skills available in Echidna, Kirin had established a stable teleportation formation, facilitating travel from Anfang.

Eren was already aware of some of these alterations from Kirin from time to time. However, this was the first time he heard the situation from the perspective of Anfang's current denizens.

Eren's monster generals, such as the Orc Lord Baran, Ror, Kaalmaahen, and Sharog, had also advanced in their abilities. Some had already left for Echidna, while others were in the process of doing so.

Meanwhile, Eren's group of 24 Orcinas, his mates, and "treasures", had solidified their positions as leaders of their respective tribes. They planned to join Eren in Labh Salem, accompanied by capable members of their tribes, to offer him their utmost support. Lasha and Luna were also among this group.

Kirin had begun welcoming numerous members of the White Raven Guild into her world, strengthening her influence in Echidna.

Guild members like Sara Stark, Nysa Nael, Sylphie, Katalina Reich, Ray Rineheart, Will Evaan, Bianka Bluedust, Silvera Rehrook, and Amory Stowage had already crossed over to Echidna, further bolstering Kirin's presence.

The founding members of the White Raven Crew, including Steve, Ramy Richards, and others, had decided to use Echidna as a launchpad to reach Tel Quasser, the land of the fey. This decision stemmed from the information provided by Tumko Darata during their last meeting.

Nina, too, had made plans to depart Anfang and join Kirin and others on Echidna.

As a Grandmaster, she had exhausted most of the resources available to expedite her Ranking Journey. This was the perfect time for her to leave Anfang.

Nina recognized the need to step out of her comfort zone after attaining Grandmaster status. She also knew that remaining in Anfang would make achieving the coveted S-Rank exceedingly difficult.

***

The various half-blood clans had already established their influence on the Velen Continent, turning it into their home where their rights as half-bloods were secure.

Some of Eren's half-blood allies had also chosen to venture to Labh Salem to establish a presence there.

Labh Salem was already quite known to be hospitable to half-bloods, so there was consensus among the half-blood clans to utilize the Spatial Gate Eren had provided for his allies in Sansara World 2.0.

Eren's half-blood allies, such as JJ Edgar and Sirius, were also in the process of departing from Anfang, along with some key clan members. They aimed to quell the chaos that had erupted after the Great Shattering. However, after the passing of the storm, Anfang was now better than ever. This was the best time ever to make big moves.

At first, Eren wanted to warn his half-blood allies about the current situation in Labh Salem, which was not very favorable for outsiders to enter.

The impending arrival of the Hvergelmir Springs in Labh Salem meant that demonic entities could face immediate attacks if and when appearing in any random location under the jurisdiction of the divine Immortals.

However, after reconsideration, Eren decided to allow as many of his half-blood allies and members of the monster army as possible to come to Labh Salem.

While he already had many allies and subordinates in Labh Salem, he recognized the need for additional support in his forthcoming struggles against the other Immortals and their followers.

The butcher believed in the power of numbers. He never wanted to make the mistake of taking on the world by himself unless he really had what it takes to do so.

The more people he had to control, the better it would be for him to manage the conflict that he was bound to get in with almost all of the demonic cults and divine temples whenever the Hvergelmir Springs appeared.

Eren also believed that the time of great chaos was also the time for great opportunities for him and his allies.

Sure, those who had planned to come to Labh Salem would face some difficulties. But it would also allow them to make rapid progress in their respective paths provided they survived the hurdles.

Apart from this, the continent of Katiyal, where the fey races had established their dominion in Anfang, had also risen to prominence in its own way. The fey clans were no longer interested in returning to the land of the fey or visiting the remaining three worlds that were easily accessible from Anfang.

The fey clans were interested in breaching the spatial boundaries observed by all five worlds. They wanted to visit the lower worlds using their own unique approach.

The continent of Khajuraho, where the cultists had established their influence, was probably the only continent where Eren had been accepted as a true visionary. The masses of Khajuraho saw Eren as someone maligned by the Anfang Alliance for its own selfish reasons.

***

Eren could only smile lightly when he heard about his "ill-popularity" from Nina's mouth. He neither agreed with the opinions of others nor accepted them.

To him, others' opinions held very little value. As long as his allies were okay with what he had done to Anfang's world fabric as a whole, he was fine.

And even if some of them were not completely on board with his views, that was fine for Eren as well.

After all, Eren had caused the Great Shattering for his own gains. He had no grand reason to straighten out the societal order of Anfang or to fix the balance of power so that monsters and half-bloods could coexist with the Rankers in harmony.

Thus, he never sought credit for something that had happened as a byproduct of his actions.

***

Nevertheless, the butcher was pleased to hear of the rapid progress made by his allies within and outside the White Raven Guild. The Great Shattering calamity, which he had unleashed upon Anfang, seemed to have brought blessings to them.

Not only did it facilitate significant advancements, but it also instilled hope for their future endeavors.

The darkest nights are often followed by the brightest days, and great calm emerges after great calamity. This rule of the boundless cosmos remained unchanged across the myriad worlds.

Eren believed that he had only played a small role in accelerating the inevitability of calamity in Anfang, expediting the arrival of a profound peace.

Despite the evident prosperity in Anfang, Eren received no credit from the majority of its inhabitants.

He remained vilified as the most evil character in Anfang's history, blamed for the inequality and injustice that existed before, during, and after the Great Shattering.
