Chapter 1005: Liberation

"Kronos!! You dare to show yourself here?!!!"

The meeting hadn't even started yet, but the two sides had already begun to heat up.

Faced with Lord Izta's fiery anger, the middle-aged man named Kronos laughed boisterously as if he had heard a joke. The sounds of teeth grinding against each other could be heard from Lord Izta and the Eastern Sage when the two of them heard the other party's reply.

"Hahaha, is that how you speak to your master?"

Emery and the others couldn't help but be surprised when they heard those words. All of them immediately turned their gazes to the middle-aged man, a question formed in their minds. That person was Lord Izta and the Eastern Sage's master?

In response, Lord Izta scoffed mockingly. "Huh! Master? You? You fucking shameless! You are not my master."

Emery and the others silently watched as Lord Izta bickered with the other party while the latter just laughed at every word he spoke. They could clearly see how Lord Izta was becoming more and more irritated.

Eventually, it reached a point where Fuxi had to personally tell Lord Izta to stop. Lord Izta initially didn't seem too keen in following the Eastern Sage's words, but seeing that more people had entered the room from a different entrance, he finally backed away after throwing a sharp glare at the middle-aged man.

Meanwhile, Jinkan quickly rushed towards the third table in the room and spoke in a respectful tone that Emery didn't expect she was capable of. "You are now in the presence of Elder Oberyn, Grand overseer of the Nephilim."

The arrival of the old figure quickly silenced everyone in the room, not excluding Lord Izta or the man named Kronos on the other side. In just a glance, Emery could clearly tell how much respect and regard the two had for the so-called Grand Overseer.

Turning his attention to the old man, Emery was immediately drowned by the distinctive aura of a grand magus. However, what the other party exuded was much more profound, much stronger than anyone in the room – including Headmaster Delbrand.

Everyone watched as the Elder nonchalantly went to his seat and Jinkan stood silently next to him.

After sitting down, the old man finally swept his gaze to the headmaster and said, "Delbrand, Still no news about Altus?"

The headmaster calmly answers. "We have made some progress on this matter. Thank you for your concern."

The old man nodded his head slightly in response. After that, he casually read the information that had been prepared before his gaze once again swept across the room, glancing at Emery's group and then at the opposite side where Zeus and Kronos were.

"I am the Grand Overseer of the Nephilim faction, as well as a member of the Magus Alliance Council. I'm here to witness the dispute regarding the Nephilim faction. Are my words clear?"

"It's clear, Grand Overseer," replied Lord Izta in a respectful tone.

Kronos, who was on the other side, looked annoyed, but still answered the grand overseer with the same words.

Emery had learned that the Nephilim faction, being a Grade 5 faction and having a history spanning thousands of years, had thousands of branch families, and also different castes for its members; Highborn, Lowborn, and Outsider.

Therefore, with the scale of the faction being so large, it was not surprising that they even appointed a specific figure who was an expert in handling disputes over the matters that the faction had.

Emery just realized that the meeting prepared by the headmaster was not a simple one. It would not be just talk, it could actually lead to a solution to their Nephilim problem.

The grand overseer then started off the meeting by giving Emery's side a chance to speak. Seeing the gesture given to them, Lord Izta stepped forward.

"Grand Overseer, it has been two thousand years since the death of my uncle King Uranus, the original caretaker of planet Earth 1002. Since then, I, Izta, loyal servant of the Nephilim, have continued to fulfill my duty. I have come here today, to claim my uncle's claim, to be the new caretaker of my planet."

The grand overseer's calm face did not change when he heard Lord Izta's words. After seeing that Lord Izta had nothing else to say, he gestured to the opposite side with his hand, signaling them it was their turn to speak.

Much to Emery's surprise, the one who stepped forward turned out to be neither Kronos nor Zeus. Instead, it was the woman who had not said a word since they had come into the room. Her name was apparently Hestia.

"Grand Overseer, we have come here on such a short notice and were now presented with outrageous words. In my understanding, there was really nothing to be disputed. Earth 1002 has been lawfully under our father, the Kronos branch family, for two thousand years and we have been taking care of the planet properly ever since."

Now that both claims were heard, the grand overseer went to the next phase. Turning his gaze to Lord Izta, he asked, "Do you have evidence such as a written will or witnesses from the previous caretaker to prove your claim as the inheritor?"

Lord Izta fell silent for a while before saying, "No, I don't.. This is all because of that man–" Pointing his finger at Kronos, he continued, "–that man has betrayed his king and caused a rebellion.. He–"

Unfortunately for Lord Izta, his words were coldly interrupted by the grad overseer. "I have to tell you that if you can't provide conclusive evidence for your claim, there's nothing we can do. The Kronos family are the lawful caretaker of planet Earth 1002 under our Nephilim laws."

Emery could see the other side had wicked smiles on their faces. It was clear that they were absolutely enjoying the sight of Lord Izta being rejected.

Seeing how the situation was developing, Fuxi quietly sighed and whispered to Lord Izta. "Just stop now. We have tried this before, You can't prove your claim. Let's just stick with the original plan."

After saying those words, the sage stepped forward.

"Grand Overseer, with respect, we are actually here to request for our right of liberation. We are ready to form a faction, and for our capabilities to be tested."

Emery realized that It seemed that the issue of Earth wanting to be independent was bigger than he had expected. He could see the grand overseer seem to be even more excited. His cloudy eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

"Have you prepared the necessary data?"

Fuxi glanced at Lord Izta, and the latter handed over a small cube to the overseer. While looking over the data within the cube, the grand overseer commented, "You have done quite a lot, Izta. your troops, assets…"

Emery quickly picked up what Lord Izta was trying to do from the grand overseer's words. The man was trying to prove his capability to become the new caretaker of Earth.

In the midst of his reading, the grand overseer suddenly stopped and glanced at Fuxi saying, "You are a Grand Magus of 8 paths? Very impressive."

Then, Emery heard Jinkan speaking. "Don't forget to check out the new blood, uncle."

This time, the old man turned his gaze to Emery and his friends saying, "Which of you was admitted into the privileged class; come forward."

Hearing that, Emery and Julian moved closer to the grand overseer. Immediately, the latter probed into the two of them before turning his attention to Emery saying, "Top 10, aren't you?"

However, before Emery could respond, he glanced towards Jinkan and said, "This is the one you mentioned, is it? Too bad you never mentioned that he's a half-blood."

Emery saw that Jinkan seemed to be annoyed by the grand overseer's words. But then, they were suddenly interrupted by the people on the opposite side, who for some reason had been ignored all this time.

"Grand Overseer, however capable they are, we are the true owner of the planet. We have been such for two thousand years, thus we are not willing to give it up without a fight!" said Kronos firmly.

The grand overseer didn't immediately give a response. He first told Emery and Julian to return before he turned to the opposite table where Kronos and his two companions were.

"The right of liberation is not only the Magus Alliance's law. It is also upheld within our Nephilim faction. The idea is to give the first settlers, the original inhabitants of the planet, a chance to become the owner of their own home. So yes; If these people do meet the required qualifications, I am bound to give them a chance."

Emery could clearly see Lord Izta's facial expression turn bright hearing the grand overseer's words. Unfortunately, the latter had not finished his words yet.

"However, as the Kronos family has been doing a great job as the caretaker of the planet over the past two thousand years, I will let them set the terms in order to prove that you are capable of being the caretaker of Earth 1002."
