Chapter 570: The Holy See (2)
According to Vermouth’s predictions, the deadline he had given Eugene would arrive within a year.
Eugene naturally had no intention of leaving things right until the end of that year. There was no definite time set for the deadline, as Vermouth’s prediction was solely based on how long he felt he would be able to endure. But, to put it simply, the Demon King of Destruction was expected to escape Vermouth’s suppression and wake up on its own within the year.
What would happen then? Would the Nur proliferate on a large scale like they had during the Age of Myth? Or would the Demon King of Destruction manifest directly and wipe away the world, just like he had during the last days of the previous era?
Eugene hoped that it would be the former. If the Demon King of Destruction manifested directly, there would be far too little time left for them to do anything to avert it. In the case of the former outcome, it might not be much, but it would at least buy them a little more time.
However, before all that, they still needed to climb up Babel in order to defeat the Demon King of Incarceration. If they wanted to reach their final goal of saving Vermouth and slaying the Demon King of Destruction, they first had to overcome the challenge of the Demon King of Incarceration.
Yet even with all that in mind, it was still impossible for them to simply rush to attack the Demon King of Incarceration. But the problem with waiting to make a plan was that Eugene had been in a coma for the past three months.
“A declaration of war…,” Eugene groaned as he held his throbbing head.
He had already heard the news from Anise.
A month ago, the Demon King of Incarceration had announced the start of the war.
