"Secure Jin Runcandel; he must not be consumed by Chaos!"
Shortly after Gliek awakened, Kelliark had shouted with such urgency that it made Jin's throat knot.
And Jin could deduce something from that command.
'Even though there is a means of resurrection through the Demon God Orb, Kelliark showed confusion as soon as Gliek awakened.'
That only meant one thing.
Jin doesn't know the other forms of death, but if Gliek killed him, the completion of the Demon God Orb would be fatally interrupted.
That's why Kelliark is wary that he might die or get into trouble because of Gliek.
Moreover, Jin felt a kind of resentment towards Gliek.

The fact that Gliek not only tried to "kill" Jin...But Gliek was attempting to absorb him just like he devoured Dante.
"If Gliek defeats me, Zipple won't be able to complete the Demon God Orb."
Jin drove it home.
Kelliark did not deny it.
It was Kelliark himself, and no one else, who gave Jin a clue, and that was a glaring mistake.
"It seems you would never fulfill those words even if I rejected the proposal. To be precise, you can't."
"Is that so?"
"You are also human and carry many burdens. How many people have risked their lives to save you, not to mention the actions you have taken to save Hairan? But risking your life just to stop my obvious plan is unacceptable. You are bluffing too boldly."
This time, Kelliark cut off Jin's response and continued without taking his eyes off Rosa.
"But your mother wouldn't."
Rosa was listening to the conversation between them.
"The moment I reject that offer, your mother won't hesitate for a moment to throw you into Gliek's jaws. Isn't that right, Rosa Runcandel?"
Rosa smiled coldly.
Rosa evaluated Jin's judgment with precision and accuracy.
If Jin had said something different, she would have directly made a similar proposal to Kelliark.
The moment you try to do something unnecessary, Jin loses his life.
And it wasn't a bluff or a gamble, as Kelliark said, it was a real threat.
Rosa also read Kelliark's weakness when he said that Jin "should not be consumed" by Chaos, and she was attentive to whatever he might come up with.
That's why she still didn't use her power seriously.
"You know it well, Kelliark Zipple. So, if you want to keep waiting for the completion of the Demon God Orb, it would be wise not to play petty tricks."
Jin's proposal to Kelliark was also one of the reasons why Rosa flatly rejected Myu and Anne's proposal.
There were still means to shake Kelliark's leash using Jin as leverage.
"It's exhausting to have weaknesses."
"We have lived like this for a thousand years, so there's no need to feel unfairly treated."
Kelliark shrugged.
"I accept the offer. It's a temporary alliance."
"Twelfth Flagbearer, what kind of negotiations are you going to have with Kinzelo?"
On the front lines, Ron and Talaris, knights and magicians were attacking Gliek.
Talaris still couldn't start casting the absolute seal seriously.
Jin made eye contact with Rosa.
"It seems they knew the true identity of the White Stone from the beginning, and it's very possible that they had the means to stop Gliek. Whether it's the power of the Genesis Knight or something else. And what they want seems to be the result of everyone present attacking each other and Gliek, receiving irreversible blows."
Jin pointed behind him.
Towards the Runcandel Knights who escaped after rescuing the Vamel Alliance.
"We will ask them to come forward and deal with Gliek. If those bastards from Kinzelo don't join this fight, we will leave here immediately and go to their headquarters."
If Kinzelo doesn't meet the conditions to deal with Gliek, we'll attack Kinzelo even if we have to give up the last line of defense in the world.
That's what Jin said.
Is it choosing between coming and stopping Gliek together or dying together?
'It's a strong move.'
Kinzelo wants to reduce forces, not the destruction of the world.
If they have the power of the Genesis Knight as a means to stop the Black Sea King, or some other means.
It may not be possible to win this war with everyone who was fighting against Gliek right now.
So far, Jin had confirmed that Kinzelo's strongest forces were the Leader and Zephyrin.
However, the Leader was not in perfect condition, and Zephyrin, who was active using her power, was also in a state where she could not show her full strength.
Of course, even if they were excluded, there were newly appeared demons in the Sota Desert, along with the battleship Grenille and Berakt, beastmen warriors, and living golems called Legends Golem.
Among them, there were some showing the level of a first-class superhuman, like Bianca Kaligo.
There must be other forces that have not been revealed yet, but it was unlikely that they could immediately withstand the combined attack of Runcandel and Zipple.
If so, global supremacy would have already passed into the hands of Kinzelo a long time ago.
Rosa was very pleased with Jin's plan.
The fact that he proposed an offer that Kelliark couldn't refuse, even with his life as a hostage, and urged Kinzelo to act immediately, even if the clan and the world perished, perfectly matched Rosa's thoughts.

"It's decided then."
Rosa's sword gleamed.
Her aura, which began to erupt like an active volcano, was forming another vortex on the battlefield.
In addition, Kelliark's Hroti also began to radiate energy, creating a melancholic resonant sound.
Rosa fought alone while defending the knights of her Family, but Kelliark showed no signs of fatigue after a long battle.
If Gliek was not the Black Sea King but simply a monster with the same level of battle prowess as him.
If killing him did not require a Genesis Knight.
They wouldn't have needed to negotiate with Kinzelo, putting the world at stake.
Now they only had one thing to do.
Help Talaris open the absolute seal of the Hidden Palace and determine the number of people for negotiations with Kinzelo.
However, even after the seal was released, Rosa, Kelliark, Ron, and Talaris could not leave the battlefield.
It was because Talaris had to maintain the seal, and the rest had to hold their positions in case of an emergency.
Even if the seal was completed, there was no guarantee that Gliek would stop moving completely, and the three-day deadline mentioned by Talaris was not secure.
Jin couldn't go.
He had always achieved favorable results against Kinzelo, but sending Jin to Kinzelo's headquarters now was just exposing vulnerabilities.
The only reason Runcandel and Zipple could temporarily unite was Jin's life.
If Kinzelo captured Jin, Zipple would negotiate with them, not Runcandel.
If that happened, Runcandel would be definitely condemned.
"Stam-nim!"
Stam stepped out of the front lines and stood in front of Rosa.
"At your command."
Rosa briefly explained the results she had obtained with Jin and Kelliark.
"Inform the Hidden Palace Master, and proceed yourself with negotiations with Kinzelo."
"Understood, Acting Patriarch Lady."
"Octavia!"
This time, Octavia approached Kelliark.
"Negotiate with Kinzelo along with the Leader of Runcandel's Black Knights."
"I understand, Patriarch."
Thus, Stam and Octavia decided to go to Kinzelo's headquarters.
Stam then conveyed the plan to Talaris.
Talaris showed signs of discomfort because negotiating with Kinzelo's plan could deviate from the secret mission of "defending the world from anomalies."
If Kinzelo refused to negotiate, and if the forces of Runcandel and Zipple actually went to his headquarters and did not deal with Gliek, then the destruction of the world was inevitable.
In that case, Talaris would have to fight against Gliek alone or with Ron.
However, Talaris had no choice but to accept the plans of the main factions.
Cyron couldn't come, so there was no other way.
'...I can't help but think about completely unsealing Elona Zipple.'
If Kinzelo refuses to negotiate, things would change irreversibly.
Talaris would have no choice but to release Elona's seal.
Her power in the records was clearly comparable to that of the Genesis Knight, so she should be able to stand up to Gliek.
However, what would happen when she reappeared in the world was an unknown variable.
-The Hidden Palace has been hiding this woman from Zipple for a thousand years.
-Are you saying that if they find out, this woman could become active again?
-I don't want to imagine that future. If such a monster is added to Zipple, which is already dominant, the balance will cease to exist.
A conversation Talaris had with Jin in the past when she first revealed the Hidden Palace's mission.
As those words suggested, even if Elona stopped Gliek, she would side with Zipple...
Talaris didn't know if that would be a better outcome than the fact that Gliek would consume the world.
Anyway, the moment Kinzelo rejects the offer, there will be no solution.
I mean, I can't do anything as the Hidden Palace Master.
A cold wind began to spread across the battlefield.
"I will start the absolute seal!" shouted Talaris, sliding to the rear and taking her position.
She raised Full Ice in front of her.
At the same time, Rosa and Kelliark charged against Gliek, and Stam and Octavia also positioned themselves on both sides of Talaris, opening their protective shields.
Jin stood in the center and looked at the backs of the giants fighting.
Despite Ron's gray sword energy, Kelliark's magic, and Rosa's Final Movements, which raged like a storm, Gliek showed a slight hesitation but smiled.

As if he knew all their plans.
