Chapter 1368 - 113: Calling for Reinforcements
```
"You knew about this all along?" Selena exclaimed in surprise, looking at Elsa.
"No, not exactly all along. It should have been shortly after father brought the flying ship to hover over the Imperial City," Elsa said, pointing above her head.
That flying ship was of course not right above their heads, but its presence there made everyone in the Imperial City feel as if it were unbearable weight upon them.
"So, do you have any good ideas? That so-called God Eater spell?" Selena quickly asked.
"The God Eater is a Giant spell. I’m not quite sure why I received this spell, as it belongs to Long Yi. But it indeed saved me at a critical moment, and it seems that, through my Celestial Heart, it has also come to save you," Elsa explained. "However, the biggest problem now is that the greedy snake doesn’t accept my control. It only appears automatically to save me when I’m threatened by the Divine Worm, and I don’t even know how to make it appear on my own."
This revelation dampened Selena’s enthusiasm. If Elsa said there was no way, it meant that she had certainly tried everything and truly found no solution.
"Then what do we do?" Selena looked at Elsa expectantly, hoping she could work a miracle.
"Our true enemies are such beings." Elsa used magic to show Selena images of short, white-skinned, big-headed, one-eyed creatures.
"They are beings created by the gods to test Crystal Poison, but with the help of Divine Worms, they have turned the tables, using Crystal Poison to become powerful life forms. According to their plans, they were to conquer the entire multiverse, but internal strife prevented the plan from proceeding. The faction our father has found is the most determined to infect the entire multiverse with Crystal Poison, and this faction has been expelled by their own race. This expelled faction is controlled by two Prophets, and from my observations, I believe that both Prophets are Divine Worms," Elsa disclosed everything she knew to Selena.
"So, do we send troops to directly annihilate them?" Selena asked.
"Even the expelled faction has over a million battle-ready warriors. Their strength, well, you should know without me having to say," Elsa responded.
Indeed, Selena was very aware of the warriors’ strength; ever since the Emperor encountered that flying ship on the first day, she knew as she had personally challenged those warriors. Although the bout ended in a draw, Selena understood that she had deployed most of her strength, while her opponent seemed to do so with ease.
"So, what’s your plan?" Selena didn’t believe Elsa had no solution.
"I am also considering what to do. However, I estimate that a battle is almost inevitable to end this," Elsa said.
"But, a million warriors..." Selena couldn’t fathom a way to defeat such a vast number of enemies.
"That’s why I need some reinforcements now," Elsa added.
"Reinforcements?" It was beyond Selena to think of anyone in this upper Plane who could help. After all, the enemies were mighty, and the most crucial fact was that they were backed by Divine Worms! It could be tragic if one got controlled by the opposition!
"Yes, reinforcements. I believe there’s no one else in the entire multiverse who hates those big-headed, big-eyed, white-skinned beings more than they do," Elsa declared.
"Wait a minute! You can’t possibly be thinking of seeking help from the Crystal Demons, can you!" Selena’s eyes widened as she finally realized that if there was any life in this Plane unafraid of the Divine Worms’ control, it would indeed be the Crystal Demons! She had also heard from Elsa that the original Demon Tribe became the Crazy Demons and then the present Crystal Demons, precisely because of the Crystal Poison that fell from the sky! And there was no doubt that the source of the Crystal Poison was those white-skinned creatures!
"I should pay a visit to the current Empress of the Crystal Demons," Elsa said.
Selena nodded her head; indeed, she thought there could be no more suitable option.
"However, even the Crystal Demons can’t possibly be a match for those white-skinned beings in Alloy Armor," Selena expressed her worry.
"It’s okay, because I have that thing too!"
"So that’s it! That’s why you managed to defeat the warriors brought by Sajia!" Selena finally understood! She had been wondering how Elsa achieved victory, and now she realized Elsa had also mastered that kind of energy alloy!
As Elsa left, Selena felt not a sigh of relief but the opposite—her heart grew even tenser. Because once Elsa brought in reinforcements, that would mean the true beginning of the war!
```
The Crystal Demon Plane is located within the upper planes, a small plane encapsulated within the greater realm of the upper planes. Initially, due to the scourge of Crystal Poison, other races within this plane were either annihilated or had left the area. Thus, within this small plane, only the Crystal Demons remained. Although with Long Yi’s assistance, the Crystal Demons managed to control the Crystal Poison and halt its spread, only a very small number of species were willing to maintain contact with them. Of course, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Crystal Demon Empress Belle in recent times, quite a few races were willing to initiate dialogue with the Crystal Demons and increase understanding, which was already very good for Belle.
Of course, these developments did not largely impact the Crystal Demons, as their long-term isolation had made them very adept at entertaining themselves, and thanks to no longer worrying about material needs, they were quite skilled at creating various games for amusement.
Elsa was not afraid of the Crystal Poison, in part because of the support of magic and also with the help of Long Yi. Of course, the Crystal Demons were no longer spreading Crystal Poison now. Perhaps because it was rare to see outsiders, Elsa’s arrival triggered a massive crowd of onlookers. The Crystal Demon Broadcast Tower even started a live broadcast to the entire race: Major news! Princess Elsa of the Celestial Clan suddenly visits! Empress Belle personally receives her! What will the two parties discuss?
Almost all Crystal Demons stopped their current activities to watch Elsa’s appearance attentively. Because of the special nature of the Crystal Demon race, virtually all Crystal Demons were able to see the event as long as there was someone live broadcasting it.
Belle was somewhat surprised by Elsa’s sudden visit. She hadn’t interacted much with Elsa, but Belle knew that Elsa was Long Yi’s official girlfriend, a status alone that was enough for Belle to be very fond of Elsa. Elsa, on the other hand, was amazed by the Crystal Demons’ technology level that seemed to surpass that of other planes—a completely automated world, where everything functioned in orderly self-operation, and all Crystal Demons had to do was what they enjoyed. In terms of energy utilization, the Crystal Demons had reached an extraordinary level of mastery—a level even children could manage with ease.
Leading Elsa to the Imperial Palace, the pure crystal world made Elsa feel somewhat dizzy due to the excessive refracted light that she was not accustomed to. Noticing Elsa’s discomfort, Belle raised her hand, and instantly the refractive index of all crystals changed, filling the palace with a gentle diffuse light.
"I apologize, I didn’t notice," Belle said with an apology.
"No, no, please don’t mind it. I was just too confident in myself. I thought I was so strong that such a trivial issue wouldn’t affect me, but I was wrong," Elsa said. She initially believed that her great strength would make such minor issues negligible, but she was caught off guard all the same.
"So, may I know the purpose of the Princess’s visit?" Belle asked. There were no food or drinks in this plane, so there was nothing suitable to offer, and besides, Crystal Demons were not very good with pleasantries, always getting straight to the point.
"Please, call me Elsa. As a friend of Brother Long, there’s no need for such formalities with me," Elsa said with a smile, a smile that came from her heart.
"Well then, Elsa, from the look on your face, it doesn’t seem like you’re here for travel or adventure," Belle remarked.
"In fact, I’ve come to ask for your help," Elsa said straightforwardly.
"If even you are asking for help, the enemy must be extremely difficult to deal with," Belle commented.
"It’s more than just difficult," Elsa replied.
"Tell me about this enemy," Belle prompted.
And so, Elsa slowly began to recount the recent events in a simple yet concise manner. When Belle heard that the enemy was one of the one-eyed, big-headed, white-skinned dwarfs, she exploded with astonishing energy fluctuations!
"It’s them!" she thundered. Elsa was even forced to summon the formidable power of the Ghost Spirits to protect herself, as the Demon Power from all around resonated with Belle’s rage! The broadcast personnel outside felt Belle’s fury as well, and he shouted aloud, "The Empress’s rage! Everyone can feel the Empress’s wrath! What exactly did Princess Elsa say to make our gracious Empress so enraged?"
Belle tried to suppress her anger and apologized with remorse on her face, "Sorry, I didn’t mean to."
Elsa could see that Belle’s energy was still surging explosively, and she knew that although Belle’s face remained calm, her anger was still escalating!
"It’s alright. In fact, I’m really struggling to find suitable reinforcements now. Faced with the Divine Worm, faced with those white-skinned creatures, the only person I could think of is you," Elsa said.
"I’m very grateful that you thought of me, as this is the first opportunity our Crystal Demon race has had for revenge in ten thousand years!" Belle exclaimed.
"So you agree?" Elsa asked, delighted.
"Yes! I must agree! Moreover, I must thank you for bringing us this opportunity!" Belle affirmed.
"I have already started working on more energy alloys. I think these alloys can be synthesized entirely by your own Crystal Poison, which would greatly enhance their power," Elsa suggested.
"Give me the formula, and I will have my scientists make the necessary improvements," Belle said.
"Here’s the formula, this is the enemy’s energy alloy, and this is the relevant knowledge about the Giants!" Elsa had never felt so happy and excited, but this time she knew she had come to the right place. (To be continued.
