To say or not to say, Severston does indeed have good communication skills.

A few people who weren't very familiar with each other originally, had quite a warming of relations thanks to Severston's humorous banter and the showcase of various little gadgets.

Even Long Yuqiong, a boy with a face like a mask, became amiable after receiving a 'self-regenerating exploding salted fish' from Severston.

"Ah woo!"

Long Yuqiong bit into the head of the bomb fish, letting it struggle frantically but refusing to let go, and as the fish gradually stopped breathing, a spring-like smile appeared on Long Yuqiong's face:

"Woo, woo woo!"

Though no one knew what he was mumbling, as the saliva slowly dripped down the motionless fish tail, Long Yuqiong's mouth gradually curled up, his gaze becoming increasingly frightening.

Seeing this, Caramel Snail and the others were too scared to speak, quietly distancing themselves from that guy.

"Wow, couldn't see that coming..." Night Fighting Sword pulled at his lips: "I never expected Long Yuqiong to have such a side."

Yutianxiao said calmly:

"It's normal. I remember Long Yuqiong seems to be from some ethnic minority, only eating seafood and staples. It's very natural to want to bite when seeing a cute fish, just like how some people react to cotton and fried chicken, everyone's customs should be respected."

"He's still so fond of fish."

Severston whispered to Leoz:

"Back then, Oshen couldn't bear to kill his sea dragon pet, and ended up handing over a jury for free to the Secret Society."

"The knights of the Secret have already split into two occupations, the White Knight and the Black Knight." Leoz informed of this discrepancy.

"Alright, that makes Oshen's situation even worse."

Severston shrugged, suddenly saying:

"By the way, how did you come up with kidnapping a Radiant Dragon?"

"I didn't foresee that Glina would be a Radiant Dragon." Leoz finished saying his true thought and immediately passed the blame:

"It's all because that Speaker from the ring said so."

"Ah, the Mechanical World Society, that guy is indeed quite young, not realizing a Radiant Dragon and mistaking it for a High Dragon Race is truly normal."

Severston nodded.

Leoz liked this about Severston: Because of old age, Severston knew a lot of things, sometimes without having to speak actively, Severston would find a reason himself and patch up loopholes.

Of course, one might also cynically speculate: Actually, Severston knows everything, just intentionally doesn't say...

"Perhaps." Leoz tried to muddle through: "From afar, the hair looks silver, making it easy to confuse with a Silver Dragon, plus High Dragon Race is very popular, no occupation would be surprising—I even encountered a Golden Dragon becoming a monk."

"Golden Dragon Monk? That's really rare, that's one of the most orthodox paths on the Pathway of Destruction to ascend to godhood."

Severston was surprised:

"Do you recall that Dumfis, the Destruction God, once captured a Dragon Race Knight of Sanctuary, which I found very incredible, not expecting dragons these days have localized to this extent... Looks like even if one doesn't want to accept the Dragon Race as part of the Starry Abyss, it's impossible—do you think, Earthlings might be the same?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Leoz said coldly:

"Earthlings are extremely vile, they must be utterly destroyed. As long as Earthlings remain, they will only think about invading and expanding outward, even without secrecy, Earth remains a terrifying universe."

"I'm skeptical... Leoz, don't you think, even the Dragon Race has been assimilated into part of the Starry Abyss, they are still part of the Destroyer, and Earthlings couldn't be? Luca Type Aliens are all over the Starry Abyss."

Severston shrugged:

"The war has persisted too long, the War Beyond the Abyss failed, so many people died, even you fell into this situation, Gio Zieou has grudges with secrecy so it's understandable—why are you so obsessed with the eradication of Earthlings? What if we can coexist?"

"...Severston, I'll tell you a secret."

Leoz raised his hand, placing it on Severston's shoulder, and said:

"The reason the Dragon Race can be accepted by the Starry Abyss, localized gradually, even becoming loyal Children of the Starry Abyss, fundamentally, is because they never have a Leader, and the existence of Leviathandal breaks the narrative of the Dragon Race's civilization, all dragons are destined to be merely subjects to the Radiant Dragon."

"Leviathandal was taken by Gaia, and Eternal Speaker Redd Gold couldn't retrieve this Strength from Gaia to restore the Gem Dragon King's true form."

"Once the Dragon Race can form a civilization, Radiant Dragon will become the Dragon Emperor, and Leviathandal will return anew."

"But the Dragon Race has tried to build civilization." Severston said: "Just now Xie Rouer mentioned, the Dragon Race built a civilization even without Leviathandal, it was merely destroyed."

Leoz said: "Of course I know that."

"If that's the case, your argument doesn't hold." Severston frowned: "Why are you still obsessed then..."

"Very simple." Leoz said: "Because the Dragon Race's civilization, was eradicated by me."

Severston was taken aback.

"Dragons, Titans, Technico Race, these three Destroyers, I once accepted their Favored Clan. They all established civilization in Haines, claiming to fight against gods, to overthrow my dominion."

Leoz said calmly:

"And then, I killed them all."

"Starry Abyss Dragons can't build civilization because I exterminated the Dragon Race's civilization completely, they have no ancestors, all current dragons are just a small group of native Starry Abyss dragons—in other words, all dragons beyond the Abyss were slaughtered by me. The ones alive now, naturally, are native Starry Abyss creatures."

"Titans, Technico Race, are the same."

"Giants dared to fight me, I tore open its throat, filling the strait with blood, nurturing all things."

"Technico craftsmen tried to construct the Ascension Tower, I sent floods, burying them entirely in the abyss."

"What you see in the Starry Abyss, whether Dragon Race, Titans, or Technico Race, aside from a tiny fraction brought over by the Secret, 99% of them are native to the Starry Abyss."

Severston was silent for a moment, then said:

"Do you know what this means?"

"Leoz, I'll tell you a truth: The Starry Abyss Side has been working hard to promote peace talks with the Destroyers, the Primordial Abyss needs the concepts brought by Destroyers. Battles are battles, if this battle could persist, despite considerable costs, Starry Abyss would flourish driven by these concepts of the Destroyers."

"If possible, Starry Abyss even hopes Destroyers could always exist, especially after Society emerged, Starry Abyss Side has started losing control over other Starry Abyss, narrative begins to rise and master the situation—what you've done, amounts to telling Destroyers that peace talks are just a joke."

"Faced with your brutal actions, these three Destroyers rather be driven by Gaia than dare battle you again."
