Chapter 368: Metal Flame Roc
Cain’s eyes widened upon hearing the revelation, as it was a truly shocking piece of information.
Intercontinental teleportation formations were incredibly expensive, to the extent that even powers with Titans backing them might not possess one. Moreover, they were strictly regulated, with only the Imperial Court having access to them.
Each and every one of these formations was situated in Eden and monitored around the clock. Although they were vital for maintaining the Godslayer Human Race’s alliance with the Deus Bahamut Race and Anima Machinarium Race, they also posed a grave threat, as they could serve as a gateway for the Dark Races to invade Gaia.
Given his rank as a Colonel in the Imperial Army, Cain was acutely aware of the magnitude of the crime associated with secretly creating an intercontinental teleportation formation. The repercussions would be dire, leading to the branding of an entire family as traitors, their minds tampered with, and turned into war puppets until their demise.
"How certain are you about this?"
Cain struggled to grasp why the Azure Royal Family, descendants of the Azure Emperor, would commit such an act, prompting him to seek further confirmation.
"Although I didn’t directly witness the intercontinental teleportation formation, through my underworld contacts, I discovered that the Azure Royal Family has been procuring the necessary materials along with the help of Rune Masters and Wave Crafters."
Krane was no simpleton and grasped the ramifications of concealing an intercontinental teleportation formation from the Imperial Court. Hence, he immediately relayed this critical information to Cain.
Upon hearing about the Rune Masters and Wave Crafters, Cain’s brows furrowed. If it were just the materials, there could have been a possibility that the Azure Royal Family acted as intermediaries. However, the involvement of Grandmasters in inscription and crafting suggested that they likely intended to control the teleportation formation.
"Krane, how feasible would it be to gather these materials without ties to the Dark Kings?"
