Millennium Tension

Evelyn who had high hopes for help from Aizen immediately realized what would happen next if their answers could not satisfy him at this time.

"No... No way, we're not that low, right?" Evelyn tried to reconcile the atmosphere while looking at other City Lord family heads.

Henry coughs awkwardly to hear that Aizen just confirms it without further ado. "Of course. We are civilized people. Sorry for my previous impudence, but your identity was very surprising to me when I realized it beforehand and need to be confirmed immediately."

"Hmmm... Why do you believe so much, what if I lie? What difference does it make if I am Aizen in history or a different Aizen?" Aizen, Ana, and Axel have not lowered their vigilance.

"*cough* Let's skip this debate. Whatever your identity, you are still our honored guest." Thomas immediately interrupted while looking at Henry with a slightly angry look, the fact he only told Samuel and Robert about this explained their current position.

"No, Mr. Thomas. [Axel Goddess] is considered to be a god who helps and saves humanity. If Mr. Aizen is Aizen Maxwell in history who created [Axel Goddess] then he is the figure we need at this time." Henry tried his best to curry favor to Aizen after knowing his data was correct.

"Ho? Then?"

Seeing Aizen ask him to continue, Henry explained his point of view to the figure who was considered to have created a god for them. "Mr. Aizen must have been aware of the situation on Mars at this time so I don't need to explain much about it, but some things are certain. Since Mars has been disconnected from Earth and [Axel Goddess] is playing server, we have assumed that the Earth has fallen and [ Axel Goddess] has been destroyed. [Axtia Goddess] The system on Mars is only the system left by [Axel Goddess] at that time. So please understand the current situation, our insecurity, and our current ignorance makes us very restless. "

Even though he was so cunning by selling sympathy, Aizen only sighed at that. The situation on Mars today is indeed not in favor of humans. Flora and fauna actually evolve faster than them. The symbiosis intentionally provided by [Axel Goddess] in the past actually harms humans in the future. Where is the error factor?

Aizen thought for a moment and the dark energy that enveloped the Earth's core flashed in his mind as the only factor which remained shrouded in mystery. Ana and Axel who were seen from the outside were doing nothing and were just like helpless girls, never losing their vigilance.

'Brother Aizen, what should we do?'

"They openly want to ask for help or take advantage of us." Ana and Axel are not happy about this.

"Let's follow the flow first, at least for now."

"So what are you implying?"

"Please help us. Tell us what really happened... You have lived thousands of years right?" Henry seems to beg for pity. He will really do anything to get sympathy.

Other nobles appear to have been shocked by the other truths and they have prepared their hearts for the rest.

Aizen saw all the family heads sitting on the same table as himself, looking eager and even other nobles who surrounded them within a certain distance were no exception.

"Ok. So where do I start?" Aizen leaned back in his chair, followed by Ana and Axel who finally reduced their vigilance slightly. They know now the noble present just feel lost and just need enlightenment. Data analysis carried out from the beginning with [Axel Goddess] showed that Henry did not lie, because of this they relaxed their vigilance slightly.

Feeling the situation was back in harmony Lania smiled. "Do you really live for thousands of years? Although I don't know about you as much as Henry, I know you died in 2033. So, what really happened?"

"Well... My daughter was quite naughty at the time and sent a fake body to the funeral procession." Aizen casually replied, not wanting to divulge much information while gently stroking the head of his daughter who sat so close to him that produced a soft purr from her while being caressed.

"So, this beautiful girl is your daughter, Anastasia Maxwell... Are you immortal?" Samuel observed the beautiful face of the girl who seemed to be enjoying Aizen's caress, but he did not stare long at her, afraid of the consequences.

"You can think of it that way."

Aizen's indifferent lie was heard differently by the nobles present.

The people present there seemed very surprised and the sound of gasps could be heard clearly. The figure who created the [Axel Goddess] in the past was a real god!?

"So what happens to Earth now?" Robert asked suddenly, ignoring others who were still surprised.

"That's bad, and your worst speculations could be true."

A simple answer, but very deep for the nobles. "How bad is the situation?" Robert doesn't seem to want to back down from his original question.

"From the brief analysis done, there is only one defense base left on the surface. I don't know how many are still fighting there." Hearing that, Robert could only sigh in disappointment.

Thomas, who was also aware that the banquet party was no longer working as it should have participated in the conversation. "Mr. Aizen. Can you tell us about what you can share."

Question and answer session seemed to make Thomas impatient, and other nobles also seemed to agree with it.

Aizen sends some data for a moment to [Axtia Goddess] server to enlighten them about the power level. "Well then, how about you update the power level data first. The strongest monster on Mars is at [SSS Rating] which means it is at [Rank 6] in the power level rules that we form. That level is the level of the strongest humans who are still fighting on Earth, while [SS Rating] is the strongest human level on Mars and also the level of nobility that ranks the same, but unfortunately, unlike Mars where overlord monsters are between [Rank 4] to [Rank 5], on Earth they must fighting against overlord monsters that were at [Rank 6] to [Rank 7], and the strongest monster there was already at [Rank 8]..."

Furthermore, Aizen recounts the rough conditions of the Earth and Mars with his perspective, but Aizen did not reveal any information about his little family or anything crucial. The nobles present only listened obediently like diligent students who were eager to hear the teachings of their great teacher. Axel and Ana just listened in silence, seemingly enjoying the soft yet firm melodies of the most important people in their lives.

Earth has become doomsday and worse than most of their assumptions. After updating information about the level of power shared by Aizen that ranged from [Rank 1] to [Rank 8] to the audience at this party, they seemed to open up new horizons for the vastness of the world. The strongest creatures in their estimation were only at [EX Rating] which had never even appeared and [SSS Rating] was a level of strength that had ever existed.

Seeing the night already quite late, Aizen seemed to want to end the party session which had become like a seminar.

"One last thing from me, Mr. Aizen. From your explanation that really enlightens us. Do you know what causes mutations on Earth?" Robert Lynn seems to care deeply about Earth even though he has never been there.

Of all the questions asked were only from the City Lord family heads who had acted as representatives, and the other nobles only listened quietly.

"I don't know much about it, but there is one thing that makes me feel uneasy. The aura emitted by the Earth's core is no longer bright red, but it is already covered by a dark black mist."

Although they do not know what is implied, they know this does not mean simple.

'Hmm... Since it seems like they adore [Axel Goddess] like a god, do you want them to thank you properly, Axel? Maybe they will start worshiping you~' Aizen spoke in a teasing tone in his mind.

'Don't be so mean, Master Aizen... I don't even care about their fate.'

'...' '...' Aizen and Ana were astonished to hear that. Although Ana also felt they were annoying, she was not as open as Axel.

After all the explanations that had caused the party to fail, Aizen immediately ended the event which had veered away from what he had hoped because it was late at night. Aizen knows Ana and Axel are reluctant to stay here any longer.

The nobles and family heads of City Lord did not seem disappointed about that because what they gained was far more than their initial expectations.

After Aizen excused himself from the event with Ana and Axel who didn't even want to open their mouths and only spoke through their minds. But when the three of them were about to get out of the Stanford mansion, Aizen felt the hem of his shirt being pulled and a soft voice came from behind.

"Please wait for a moment..."

They let it go beforehand because there was no suspicious energy or detected evil aura emanating from people who still seemed to require his presence and approaching them.

Ana and Axel who were hooking each of Aizen's arms turned around with cold eyes to see the person who pulled the edge of Aizen's shirt.
