Chapter 716 Superior Enemies (2/2) If the situation already seemed bad, the appearance of the red spot in the sky makes everything even worse. Althou
If the situation already seemed bad, the appearance of the red spot in the sky makes everything even worse.
Although Lucien was expecting trouble, he didn't think that such problems would reach the Blue Star so quickly.
"I thought we would have at least a few days before they arrived..." He looks at Genevieve with a confused expression.
"We didn't know about the Shé's situation," she quickly explains. "The Young Sacred Trinity and their Angel army will take a few more days to arrive here, but it seems that the Shé were faster."
Lucien and his girls wonder about that, and Lust voices her concerns. "Could they have sensed the energy of the Phoenix?"
Genevieve can't help but gl716 Superior Enemies (2/2)ance at Maya with a curious expression. But then she turns her attention back to Lucien.
"Lady Alexa has used all her resources to find out more about their plans, but the Young Sacred Trinity is keeping it under absolute secrecy," she explains.
"What else does she plan to do?" Envy asks.
Genevieve speaks directly to Lucien again. "She won't abandon you, even if it puts her against the Young Sacred Trinity."
"What do you mean?" Lucien asks.
"She is coming, isn't she?" Helena quickly asks.
Genevieve nods to Helena. "Yes, she is gathering as many troops as she can with the intention of arriving here before the Young Sacred Trinity."
Lucien can't help but be grateful for Alexa's loyalty. She only formed an alliance with him because of his promise to help her people be free from the Gods.
"Seems like I will need her help more than she needs mine," he sighs.
Helena, on the other hand, is even more worried. "This is very dangerous. If she confronts the Gods directly, they will come after her!"
"Lady Alexa has made her decision." Genevieve's eyes sparkle with anticipation. "She won't let the Angels continue to be slaves to the Gods. Perhaps this is an opportunity to start changing things."
The conversation about the future of the Angels starts to shift the focus away from the larger problem, and Pride quickly interrupts it. "With or without Alexa's help, our enemies are coming now."
Lucien looks again at the red circle in the sky. "How much time do we have until they arrive?"
"You can't be serious!" Envy can sense Lucien's determination to protect the Mermaids and Nagas, which makes her even more concerned about his safety.
His sisters and the other Sins also understand that the threat has become even greater, so staying and fighting seems like suicide.
Yet, Lucien can't simply give up on the Blue Star and its people without trying to find another solution.
"These Shé, are they not as powerful as the Young Sacred Trinity, right?" he asks.
"I and Sophia fought against some of them in Argerim," Donna comments. "The battle was not easy, but now we are much more powerful than before."
"That was a small group sent to an inferior world," Wrath adds. "But maybe we can stand a chance..."
"Nonsense," Greed quickly interjects. "These Shé may not be as powerful as the Tiankong Dynasty, but they are still a superior race."
Gluttony also voices her thoughts. "We also have to consider that since it's an alliance with the Gods, the Shé won't send a group much weaker than the Young Sacred Trinity."
Lust agrees with her sisters and tries to persuade Lucien to leave the Blue Star again. "Even if we manage to hold off the Shé until Alexa arrives, the Young Sacred Trinity will soon follow with a powerful Angel army... there's no chance."
Lucien doesn't want to appear as an arrogant fool, but he also believes that there might be another solution. So far, the challenges he has faced have not been easy, but with his wives by his side, he has managed to overcome all his enemies.
Well, there is one enemy he hasn't been able to overcome, and it's precisely her that he thinks of as he looks at Pride, seeking her opinion.
Pride doesn't have a Soul Contract with Lucien to share her feelings, but she thinks in a similar way to him, which leads them both to the same idea.
"The Leviathan." They say at the same time.
Everyone wonders about that, and most of them come to the same conclusion—it seems like a terrible plan.
"Really??" Envy quickly expresses her opposition to that plan.
She loves Lucien more and more, which makes her want to protect him as much as Lust does, who also dislikes that plan.
Wrath is also very concerned for Lucien's safety, so she tries to help her sisters persuade him. "How can you want to trust the creature that wants to devour you?"
"I don't need to trust her." He quickly responds. "But precisely because she wants to devour me, she wouldn't let the Shé and Gods kill me."
"Lucien is right," Pride comments. "We can use the Leviathan's desire for power to make her help us."
Gluttony doesn't want to risk the safety of Lucien and his sisters, too, but she agrees with that way of thinking. "I bet she wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to devour powerful Dragons and Gods as well."
Lust and Envy still seem very worried, and Lucien understands it. So he looks at them with a loving expression. "I know it seems crazy, but I can't abandon them..."
Nea and Mira know he's talking about the Nagas and Mermaids, which makes them thrilled.
Lust still looks very worried, but she tries to contain her fears and support Lucien as always. "We still need more allies."
Envy sighs and also chooses to support Lucien. Then she looks at Nea and Mira. "You have to contact the other six Stars. Such an alliance between Dragons and Gods should be enough to unite the Seven Stars again, right?"
Nea and Mira exchange glances before nodding. "We can send messengers, but it would take several days for them to reach the other Stars..."
Lucien quickly tries to find a solution to contact the people of the other Star faster, and sending some of his girls like Helena and Genevieve seems to be the most efficient way.
But before his gaze reaches them, he feels something emerging inside his body, a powerful feeling that, although familiar, is still a mystery to him.
Everyone becomes curious and confused when they see Lucien suddenly looking towards the western horizon.
"Lucien?" Lust is the first to feel that something has affected him.
"What is it?" Envy asks.
"She's coming..." He responds while still looking at the horizon.
"She? The Leviathan?" Greed quickly asks.
Everyone becomes concerned with those words. They have no way of knowing if the Leviathan is approaching to form an alliance with Lucien or to try to devour him before the Shé Dragons arrive.
But Lucien's next words shock them even more. "Not the Leviathan, but... that woman from the glass coffin."
Everyone is surprised and confused, but Nea opens a beautiful and radiant smile. "Our Lady?! I knew she wouldn't abandon us!!"
The Sins can't help but wonder about this bizarre situation. Once again, everything seems like a plan orchestrated by someone very influential and manipulative.
But one thing they all agree on is that the Water Spirit should be an ally rather than another enemy, after all, she should protect her home.
They all look towards the horizon, but none of them see anything, which prompts Maya to question Lucien. "How do you know she's coming?"
"I... I'm not sure," he honestly responds. "But I can feel a connection with her, and it's growing stronger rapidly."
The Sins try to spread their magical senses as far as possible to find the presence of the Water Spirit, and Pride, who is currently the most powerful among them, senses a powerful aura.

The Sins try to spread their magical senses as far as possible to find the presence of the Water Spirit, and Pride, who is currently the most powerful among them, senses a powerful aura.
"I found her," she comments, but her expression is once again one of surprise.
"Is it really her?" Greed asks.
Pride fully believes in Lucien, even without understanding what kind of connection he could have with the Water Spirit, but the aura she feels is a familiar one.
"It's... the Leviathan," she responds, shocking everyone once again. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"What the hell is going on???" Wrath can't help but exclaim.
Lust ponders about that. "Perhaps the Water Spirit is aware of what's happening and has summoned the Leviathan to help her defend the Blue Star..."
"It's a possibility," Sloth agrees.
"Well, the enemy of our enemy is our friend," Envy comments.
Lucien turns his attention to the growing red circle in the sky. "How much time do we have until they arrive here?"
"It's hard to say," Lust responds. "The portal is clearly in its final phase, but we don't know how many troops they're bringing."
"It could take an hour or a day depending on their numbers," Envy adds.
"I see." Lucien looks towards the horizon again as he feels that mysterious connection growing stronger.
He also remembers when he passed out in the center of Crystal City after using all his energy to create a protective barrier around the city.
As he passed out at that moment, his memory seems foggy, but he's almost certain that he heard a voice inside his mind.
In some way, he feels that voice was from the supposed Water Spirit, who is now heading towards him.
Of course, he's glad to have a powerful ally, but a part of him has many doubts about that woman.
He is both curious and concerned because he fears what kind of answers he might get from her.
However, new enemies are approaching rapidly, so it's not the time to hesitate or focus on his doubts. It's time to strengthen his determination and fight.
