Parallel Memory - Chapter 449: King Tranduil
30 minutes ago!
Before King Thranduil went to meet with the geniuses, he was looking through the Magic Ball which shows everything that is happening in the Royal Castle.
It was an SS-Rank artifact with the ability to sense and see through everything in a designated place. Any assassin wishing to sneak attack would have already been found before they even got inside the castle.
King Thranduil was with Elara, the person who is able to see the future. She was also someone who has been advising the king of Elven for many decades.
“Elara, do you think that this will work? Can we really protect Elves because of those kids?”
King Thranduil asked. Although she believes in Elara, he couldn’t help but feel skepticism when said that their lives and future were in the hands of young kids from different races.
“Your majesty! I am not sure! I could see danger looming in the future and Elves being killed. However, further than that, I couldn’t see anything. Perhaps, it is telling me that I met my end there.”
Elara answered. Although she was talking about dying, she didn’t seem scared nor did she seem like she thought anything of it.
*SIGH!
“I hope that your idea works or else we have no choice but to face destruction.”
King Thranduil as the ruler of the Elves has to ensure their survival.
“Don’t worry your majesty! Future could be changed. I am pretty sure that those young geniuses had abilities to fight off this calamity. Some of them could even kill a Rank-SS Devil general when he was just Rank-S.”
Elara replied. She wanted to gather young geniuses because she saw a future where she saw them become ridiculously powerful.
It was not only Elves younger geniuses but also humans and other races younger generations who were all far stronger than their predecessor.
Maybe it was a period where geniuses were born!
Although she could see them become stronger, recently she was seeing this future world burning and going into darkness.
She never saw her there as she had said, she might already be dead by that time. However, maybe something changed and she was getting this precognition of world burning and many lives being ended.
However, she couldn’t see much of it either. Maybe because in this future, she would inevitably die.
Anyway, this information was enough to change what she saw. Now, all she got to do was use this information to save everyone.
And the reason why she decided with the King Thranduil to gather the geniuses was because, for one, it will be difficult to gather strongest people of different races and they were adults with resentment due to past relationships with each other.
So, it was reasonable to get their younger generation to come with the bait being the Luminary Spring.
Moreover, in the future she saw, she had seen many Rank-SS being killed off easily. Then that means that the entity that they are going to fight will be stronger than Rank-SS, possibly Rank-SSS or Rank-SSS+, maybe something beyond that.
So, even if all the Rank-SS of different races fought together, she couldn’t say that the future that she saw will be different.
But she was willing to bet on the younger generation who would get very powerful in the future. She thought that if they were fully nurtured well with every resource, then perhaps they will get even stronger.
Strong enough to fight off the calamity!
She discussed this with Elven King and they decided to trust Elara. Although the information that they got was unbelievable, they knew that Elara was not joking around.
After much discussion, they decided to use Luminary Spring as bait to gather the geniuses. King Thranduil wanted to see whether they are capable of entrusting their future or should he opt for another solution.
With their decision made, King Thranduil and Elara set their plan in motion. They sent emissaries to different races, inviting the most talented and gifted young individuals to the Luminary Spring, promising them access to knowledge, training, and power of Elves.
They also sent out the information about the future that they saw but not many believed that information..
However, since they were willing to send the message to other races and also give their precious Luminary Spring, they at least were willing to send their younger geniuses.
As for the calamity, well they were also waiting whether Elves are really willing to nurture their future generation and prepare for that calamity. Or do they have another plan in mind?
Anyway, King Tranduil and Elara looked through the magic ball as the younger races of different generations began to enter.
“The one who killed the Rank-SS Archduke in the future is called Hiro, right?”
King Tranduil asked. He has heard of Hiro as he was hailed as a very talented boy in Human Domain. But King Tranduil didn’t care about it as he was still a fledgling.
Anyone could say that they were great talents as a child, however, how many of them truly stand at the peak of strength? Only some!
Hiro was a child with potential, however, he needed to experience many things without dying before he could really become strong.
However, Elara’s prediction about him changed his perspective. If Hiro could indeed kill Rank-SS when he was just Rank-S, no matter what he did or used, it meant that Hiro was truly incredible.
Defeating Rank-SS was tough, but killing them was almost impossible. Even between the fight between two Rank-SS, dying was very rare until you fought till death.
If Rank-SS was losing, they would flee instantly. If they want to escape, nobody could stop them, not even another Rank-SS unless there were more than one Rank-SS.
“Yes your majesty! That boy is incredible with a very bright future. If we help him, he might even be the one who would save all of us from this calamity.”
“Hmmm… It seems like you trust this boy.”
King Tranduil said as he had never seen Elara say things like this.
“Your majesty, if you can see the future, you would know how incredible that boy is. Not only his strength but his character itself is like Hero!”.
