After leaving behind some worrying declarations, Shafney left on her own, as lightly and unburdened as a cloud.

Her casual behavior gave the impression that she had come specifically to assert her dominance.

She didn’t even take Lilith with her, leaving the little girl with Shien. She came swiftly and departed freely.

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily followed Shafney’s retreating figure, while Shien stared at her alluring butterfly hips, thinking about leaving a couple of handprints there to let her know how annoyed he was feeling at that moment.

After Shafney left, the others also stood up, each with their own thoughts.

“I still have some friends to visit and mention the Old Demon Faction matter, so I won’t disturb you all any longer.” Sophie said, then looked at Shien seriously. “Also, the Elven Race will stand by your side. You don’t need to worry about your stance during the Tripartite Conference.”

Leaving these words behind, Sophie departed with Leia and Nia.

Carol glanced at Shien, but didn’t try to catch up with him, silently following Sophie.

Jenom seemed to have something to say to Shien, perhaps wanting to ask about Melika, but in the end, she only snorted coldly and followed Carol.

“I… I still need to go to the temple and discuss welcoming the goddesses with Pope Yuler. I’ll leave it at this for today and come find you again later!”

Elise seemed reluctant to leave, especially after Shafney appeared, like a little wife afraid of her husband’s infidelity, weak and helpless. But with Oz and Maeve’s reminders, she finally left reluctantly, only bowing respectfully to Lilith before bidding farewell.

It seemed that for the beastmen Priest Corps, Lilith’s presence was still quite intimidating.

After all, they were priests, and Lilith was ultimately a goddess, the strongest Evil God in the Divine Realm, a being they had guarded for a thousand years. They naturally harbored some complex emotions towards her.

Of course, from Lilith’s blank expression, Shien realized something.

That was, this girl probably didn’t remember Elise and the others at all.

How pitiful.

On the other hand, Harvis kept staring at the direction Shafney had left, lost in thought for a long time.

His appearance made Capeline worried.

Could it be that her brother had fallen for the Succubus who was rumored to be irresistibly charming?

This… seemed troublesome!

Even Tilly was vaguely worried.

Because it wasn’t just Harvis; even Rockto seemed somewhat distracted, making it hard to feel at ease.

This showed that although Shafney’s charm was effective on both men and women, it was even more potent on men.

After all, Shafney’s charm stemmed from her own beauty, not any ability or power, let alone something that forced others to fall in love with her.

Under such circumstances, men were naturally more likely to be captivated by this breathtakingly beautiful woman.

Shien didn’t know how Harvis and Rockto were feeling right now.

He only knew that Shafney must have left a deep impression on them.

In the end, Harvis, after regaining his senses, smiled wryly and said,

“As expected of the woman rumored to be the most beautiful in all of Omnipotence. I finally understand why so many famous heroes and great figures in history were willing to do anything for her.”

This was Harvis’s most direct impression.

Even Rockto, a man usually only focused on loyalty and battle, couldn’t help but comment after a moment of silence.

“An excessively beautiful and excessively terrifying woman.”

Rockto’s eyes held not only a trace of distraction but also a trace of awe.

Presumably, this Knight Commander was also deeply affected by how easily Shafney had captivated him.

This made Shien ponder, even casually teasing,

“Did you two really fall for that Succubus?”

Neither Harvis nor Rockto answered this question directly.

“At least, I know very well that she’s not someone I can pursue.”

Harvis replied with a wry smile.

“…I only hope to stay as far away from her as possible in the future.”

Rockto expressed his thoughts frankly.

Clearly, both of them had gained a deep understanding of Shafney’s reputation and also had a clear understanding of reality.

Capeline and Tilly secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were worried that their brother or father would, like the leaders and experts of other factions, do something irrational for Shafney.

Fortunately, although Harvis and Rockto might not have escaped being captivated by Shafney’s charm, they were very self-aware.

They didn’t think they could handle such a woman.

Moreover, they didn’t think Shien, sitting opposite them, would turn a blind eye to this.

The fate of those rejected admirers of the Succubus was still fresh in their minds. Harvis and Rockto didn’t want to become like them, ending up being severely taught a lesson by Shien and becoming disheartened.

In other words, they didn’t want to become enemies with Shien, nor did they dare to overestimate themselves and think they could pursue Shafney.

In fact, those powerful leaders and experts didn’t have any extravagant hopes of pursuing Shafney either.

They only hoped to see Shafney again, or for Shafney to look at them directly.

This request was undoubtedly humble.

Perhaps, Harvis and Rockto would also recall Shafney’s figure in their dreams countless times in the future, eventually becoming like them.

But, at least for now, they weren’t at that point yet.

Afterwards, Harvis also chatted with Shien for a while.

The topics were mostly the same as what Capeline had mentioned last time, mainly about the current situation in the empire.

Unlike the elves, who had chosen to side with Shien, they were already Shien’s faction.

Therefore, a declaration like Sophie’s wasn’t necessary. They only needed to report the current state of the empire to Shien.

As for the Tripartite Conference, Harvis would naturally fully support Shien.

“Many people can actually see that both the Divine and Demon Races are choosing to side with you, offering you protection. The purpose of the Tripartite Conference isn’t for the various races to investigate your summoning, nor is it a game of power between the races, but rather an explanation to the public.”

Harvis stated this.

“The three goddesses have always been the Hero’s companions. This hasn’t changed in the past, won’t change now, and won’t change in the future.”

“The six Demon Lords also seem to be choosing to side with you for now and won’t push you out as a target.”

“On the contrary, the Human Race, many factions have doubts about your situation. Some are worried about whether you are a threat to peace, some are unsure whose side you are on, some want to use you to achieve some ulterior motive, and some are even secretly preparing to deal with you, make things difficult for you.”

As the saying goes, the human heart is unpredictable, and human nature is extremely complex.

The appearance of the Hero wasn’t necessarily a good thing for some people.

Even if it were a good thing, selfishness was human nature.

Many people only thought about making this good thing their own, obtaining the maximum benefit from it.

This was how humans were, each with their own thoughts and position. Even Sara couldn’t control everyone’s thoughts and positions. No matter how wise a person was, they couldn’t manipulate everyone’s actions. No matter how meticulous the calculations, there would always be some unforeseen circumstances.

Therefore, although the Hero was a hero of the Human Race, not everyone would treat him as such.

Some selfish and self-righteous people who thought they could control everything would always be unable to control their desires and ambitions, reaching for things they shouldn’t.

This was human nature.

Compared to the Human Race, the Divine and Demon Races were more straightforward in their thinking.

The Divine Race was only worried about whether Shien would be seduced by the Demon Race, and whether the reappearance of the [Hero Summoning] was orchestrated by the Demon Race, intending to do something to the world and disrupt the current peace.

The Demon Race was even more worried about whether the Divine Race would secretly restart the grand ritual of [Hero Summoning], secretly summoning the natural enemy of the Demon Race and preparing to attack them.

Coupled with the instigation of some individuals with ulterior motives, and the ancient enmity between the two races, the result was naturally a situation where everyone had their own version of the truth, and it was impossible to simply let it go.

Precisely because she considered this, Sara, as the Supreme Ruler of the Demon Race, initiated the request for negotiations with the entire world, making the Tripartite Conference reappear in Omnipotence.

As expected of her.

In summary, the current situation was relatively clear.

“The six Demon Lords, led by Moon Demon Sara, want to protect you. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have betrothed the Dragon Demon to you, although that was also due to your own abilities.”

“The three goddesses have always been firm supporters of the Hero and advocates of peace, and they naturally wouldn’t hold you accountable for your existence.”

“With the leaders of both the Divine and Demon Races on your side, the situation will inevitably shift in your favor under their influence.”

“The Human Race is a bit more complicated, but the kingdom will definitely choose your side, and our empire goes without saying. The Elven Race’s stance is clear, and the beastmen Priest Corps also has a close relationship with you, enough to influence the beastmen’s stance.”

“However, the relationship between the dwarves and elves isn’t very good. Although both races worship the Goddess of Nature, the elves despise the dwarves for being too crude and vulgar, while the dwarves are jealous that the elves are the favored children of the Goddess of Nature. I heard that many dwarves look down on women, and even other races, thinking that they are too delicate and pretentious, only somewhat acknowledging the beastmen.”

“Therefore, the dwarves are likely to oppose the elves, and the other factions within the Human Race also have their own thoughts. Their stances will definitely be quite complicated.”

“Of course, with the three goddesses and six Demon Lords backing you, I believe they won’t dare to act too rashly.”

“In the end, it all depends on your attitude.”

Harvis analyzed all of this for Shien.

This was the first time Shien had appeared in the spotlight of the entire world.

Surely, many people were paying attention to how he would act and what stance he would choose.

Although Shien was clearly under the protection of the Divine and Demon Races, many didn’t believe that with the animosity between the two races, they would allow the Hero to be entangled with the other side.

If Shien ultimately chose to side with the Divine Race, the Demon Race’s hostility and apprehension would definitely erupt.

If Shien ultimately chose to side with the Demon Race, both the Divine Race and the Human Race would consider the Hero to have betrayed everyone.

No matter how one thought about it, the final outcome definitely wouldn’t be without conflict.

The Hero, an existence no longer needed by this era, was that influential.

His appearance could truly disrupt the peace.

Therefore, both the Demon Lords and the three goddesses were trying to find ways to ease the tension.

The reason Sara had Airi become engaged to Shien was to give a hint to everyone in the Demon Race, telling them that the Hero wasn’t an enemy, but someone who could become one of their own.

The Divine Race also needed to take some action to prove that they hadn’t restarted the grand ritual of [Hero Summoning] and that the Hero was one of their own, not a weapon utilized by the Demon Race.

In short, Shien would undoubtedly be the main character at the Tripartite Conference.

“Have you thought carefully about what you’ll do then?”

Harvis asked Shien this question seriously.

Shien responded with a faint smile.

He naturally couldn’t be unaware that his existence was the most important factor in determining the future of Omnipotence.

Based on his actions and behavior that day, Omnipotence might continue to enjoy peace, but it was more likely to face a storm that would disrupt it.

Even though the three goddesses had never discussed this matter with him, and none of the six Demon Lords had asked him to choose a side, that didn’t mean Shien thought it was none of his business.

He had already thought about what to do on the day of the Tripartite Conference.

However, it was inevitable that he would have to reveal some of his secrets that day.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Shien assured Harvis.

“Then I’ll wait and see from the audience.”

Harvis finally smiled.

Just like that, Harvis left with Capeline, Rockto, and Tilly.

Only Shien, Riley, Vivian, and Lilith, who was nestled in Shien’s arms, oblivious to everything, remained in the reception hall.

Riley and Vivian exchanged glances, then looked at Shien in unison.

“There are two days left until the Tripartite Conference.” Riley asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Shien answered this question.

“I’m going to meet the Old Demon Faction members who attacked our residence.”

That’s right.

This problem had to be resolved first.

Without resolving this issue, Shien wouldn’t have peace of mind.

The Old Demon Faction had become the existence Shien wanted to eradicate most.

For both public and private reasons, he wouldn’t let these scum go.

“Do you need help?”

Vivian asked softly.

“No.”

Shien shook his head.

With two days left until the Tripartite Conference, he needed to make some preparations.

He would be very busy from now on.
