Chapter 1086 The Golden Light Orb
The moment the Twelve Supreme Kings stepped into the main hall, they saw Donald sitting on the couch with a child in his arms.
"Greetings, Lord Campbell!"
"Greeting, Lord Campbell!"
Upon seeing Donald, the Twelve Supreme Kings could not conceal their elation.
During Donald's absence, they had effectively maintained order in Quadfield, but in the absence of his authoritative presence, they perpetually harbored a feeling of unease and insecurity. Despite Donald's casual attire at that moment, the unmatched aura that radiated from him continued to evoke a profound sense of reverence within the hearts of the Twelve Supreme Kings.
Even in his quiet and reserved demeanor, he emanated an aura that could compel respect and instill fear.
The Twelve Supreme Kings even felt that Donald had grown even more inscrutable than he had been before.
"Everyone, please rise. Feel free to sit anywhere."
Following Donald's instructions, the Twelve Supreme Kings finally dared to take their seats.
They all sat with impeccable posture, only perching on the edge of their seats, a clear display of their profound respect for Donald.
"Is everything well over at Quadfield?" asked Donald.
After exchanging knowing glances, the Twelve Supreme Kings replied, "Lord Campbell, there are no powerful adversaries outside of Quadfield, but within Quadfield, numerous hidden threats persist."
"Oh? What kind of threats? Do tell."
Fergus Janaway, the Scarlet Supreme King, spoke with a deep voice. "Within Quadfield, there are a total of three hundred and ninety Divine Demon Tombs, each housing a divine demon within. Typically, in the absence of a potent external force, these divine demon tombs remain secure. However, about a week ago, we detected unusual activity in these tombs. It is highly probable that the divine demons who had been in slumber within these tombs have now awakened."
Hearing Fergus' words, Donald fell into deep thought.
The paramount importance of Quadfield resided in the reality that each divine demon enclosed within possessed extraordinary might.
It was, in fact, the allure of such power that drove numerous individuals to relentlessly target Quadfield.
Regrettably, Quadfield, under Donald's rule, was astonishingly impregnable.
Throughout the years, not a single outsider had managed to penetrate Quadfield's defenses, let alone possess the power to confront Donald.
In Donald's perspective, with the Twelve Supreme Kings safeguarding Quadfield, it should have been absolutely secure. Therefore, he found it surprising to hear about the unusual activity within the divine demon tombs.
Donald looked at the Twelve Supreme Kings and asked, "Have you figured out the cause of the unusual activity?"
Dennis Zuber, the Cerulean Supreme King, rose from his seat and announced, "We have tentatively ascertained that the abnormal occurrences within the divine demon tombs might be linked to a mysterious energy."
"Mysterious energy?"
Donald's eyebrows swiftly arched in surprise when he heard that.
"Have you all forgotten even the most fundamental things after I left Quadfield?" he queried.
The Twelve Supreme Kings all knelt down in unison when they heard Donald's question.
"Lord Campbell, please calm your anger. It's not that we are being inarticulate; rather, it's the fact that we have never encountered this particular energy before," explained one of the Supreme Kings. Dennis gestured with his hand, prompting a servant to approach and position a cylindrical object on the table. With deliberate care, the servant then withdrew the black cloth covering it.
Only then did Donald discern that it was a glass container.
A radiant golden glow erupted from within, immediately illuminating the entirety of the mansion's living room.
This was the first time Donald had encountered this kind of light.
In contrast to the Twelve Supreme Kings, Donald discerned a faint energy exuding from the glass container.
This energy possessed a semblance to the aura of Stella Warrior energy, but it also bore an impression of being something more profound and transcendent.
No wonder Dennis referred to it as a mysterious energy. That's because each energy, in fact, has its unique characteristics. It's similar to the Stella Warrior energy within each individual; although collectively termed Stella Warrior energy, it possesses distinct attributes. Some Stella Warriors exhibit ice attributes, while others bear the attribute of fire. However, the energy encapsulated in this glass container before me appears to lack any distinct attributes.
