Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital
With the death of the devil, the secondary ti flow it had conjured had long been lifted. The demigods who had earlier retreated to the safety of the royal palace grounds after exhausting their divine power imdiately recovered their divine power using the ergency resources distributed by the Southern Royal palace and returned to the battlefield circling the three demigods and Wyatt. With the devil dead, the battle was still far from over as they still had to capture the Freedom Fighters.
Being surrounded by the 75 demigods of the Southern Region, Henricks and Joy did not flinch. They patiently waited for Colleen to make the right choice. According to Joy and Henricks, as the carrier of the world-ending plague egg Wyatt should be banished from the card world as soon as possible and they knew Colleen was also aware that was only possible by Henricks.
With the arrival of the demigods, Colleen carried the ghastly body of Wyatt who appeared to be about to knock on the death's door any mont now despite having taken an elixir and ordered the demigods, "Stand down."
Then turning to look at Henricks, Colleen declared, "In light of your help, I am overlooking your cris this one ti. Leave, before I change my mind."
If not for Plague Doctor Joy's tily advice, it would have been too late when Wyatt realized that Belphegor's connection with the plague egg would not be disconnected after he incubated the plague egg in his body. So the Freedom Fighter had credit for stopping the devil from releasing a world-ending plague in the Southern Capital. To make them even, Colleen decided to overlook the cris of the Freedom Fighters against the Southern Royal family and the Southern Region this one ti.
Watching Colleen leave with Wyatt, both Henricks and Joy were stumped. They could not understand what was going on in Colleen's head to take Wyatt back to the Southern Royal palace with her instead of handing him over to them. Does she not comprehend that her actions were defeating the purpose of Wyatt's sacrifice to save this world?
Plague Doctor Joy and Henricks could not hold back their bewildernt. Joy stared at Henricks asking him to do sothing, who finally broke his silence on this matter saying, "Colleen, it is not safe to keep Wyatt in this world any longer."
Listening to Henricks, Colleen stopped in her tracks and snapped, "That soldier queen for you, you have lost the privilege to call by my first na."
"Fine, don't let your hatred for stop you from doing the right thing. I don't have to tell you what will happen if the plague is released into this world," Henricks suggested to Colleen to not let her hatred for him cloud her sense of judgnt and bring doom on everyone she loved, her people, and the world itself.
"I know, you do not have to remind . The Southern Royal family is fully capable of disposing of the plague," Colleen said pretty confidently and then threatened, "If you do not leave within the next minute, you will never be able to leave."
Listening to Colleen confidently claim that she could dispose of the plague, both Henricks and Joy were stumped. Henricks could not help but ask, "How? Even the top ten universities cannot make such a claim confidently."
The only way to properly dispose of the plague would be to banish it to the bottomless depths of the myriad realms. It was no secret to anyone that the Let alone Southern Royal family even the top ten universities were not capable of that. Yet, Colleen confidently made such claims, they did not understand if Colleen was lying or if she genuinely felt that way.
"Don't tell you plan to use a dungeon reversal to move the plague to another world? If you are, then I will advise you against it as doing so will give the plague easy access to the world's will. Regardless of the type of dungeon, all the dungeons on this world are part of the world. Releasing the plague in one of them, even the reverse dungeon would put the World's Will in a venerable position against the plague," Joy explained.
Madam Joy imdiately understood that the only reason Colleen could be so confident was she planned to release the plague into a reverse dungeon believing that it was in another world. However, Colleen forgot to take into account that the reverse dungeon was the creation of this world making it a part of this world.
Listening to Joy, Colleen paused and looked at her. Only to hear Joy double down on her answer saying, "If you do not believe , you can consult your experts. They will also tell you the sa thing."
Noticing the contemplation in Colleen's eyes, Joy spoke up planning to strick when the iron was hot, "Besides, Wyatt's condition is not completely hopeless. We can try to figure out a solution to the plague egg in the ti we have. Soldier queen, please let help Wyatt. He is a survivor, let's give him a fighting chance."
"Fine, you can stay behind and tend to Wyatt and help him understand and overco the plague," Colleen said, with her words the Demigods in the surroundings focused their intent on demigod Joy understanding that their queen wanted this person to stay behind.
"Damn it, Colleen quit being stubborn. Are you planning to make that boy's sacrifice senseless by risking the release of the world-ending plague in our world?" Henricks snapped seeing Colleen act so stubborn.
"5.. 4.. 3.." Instead of heeding to Henricks words Colleen began a countdown. While her body split into two. A clone carrying Wyatt to the Royal palace grounds, as for the original, it faced Henricks continuing the countdown, " 2.. 1.., your one minute is up. Glacier punch."
Colleen sucker punched Henricks, while the other demigods ganged up on Joy to capture her.
