Angel received the stick from Elizabeth as she then slowly pointed it at the Horizon Empire.
Horizon Empire, the 2nd rank Human Empire amongst all the 5 Empires of the Human race. It\'s the biggest territory amongst all the Human territories, even bigger than the 1st rank, Dragon Horn Empire. They house the headquarters of all the associations in the Human race, such as the Adventurers Association, Merchant Association, Craftsman Association, Industrial Association, Mage Association, and many more associations. The rank 1st Mage Academy is also located in their territory and even the Infinite Magic Sect, specifically the 1st rank Sect of the Human race, is located over there as well.
"I only have two reasons for choosing Horizon Empire, and that is aside from being the second most powerful Empire of the Human race, they are also the only territory that stood a chance in fighting against the Dragon Horn Empire," Angel paused as she retracted the stick before continuing, "Why do we need to fight against the Dragon Horn Empire? Well, it\'s very simple; Emperor Yuta would definitely come after all of us once he hears about us. No, to be more precise, he would come after me, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte, six women who are not only beautiful but also has the potential to become powerful. That\'s the kind of woman that Emperor Yuta wants, so as soon as she hears about that, then we would not only be facing against the forces of the Gods but also the forces of our own Human Empire."
Heaving a sigh of helplessness, Angel explained further, "Not only that, even the other Human Empires and Kingdoms would think of fighting against us as well, as they would want to capture us. For them, capturing us is the same as being able to ask for a favor from Emperor Yuta, which in most cases is to trade us from one of their deadliest weapon, the Chaos Deviants."
Hearing the mention of the Chaos Deviants, everyone immediately turned solemn.
All of them have known or long heard about the so-called Chaos Deviants.
The Chaos Deviants are actually Hybrids who are a product of experimentation using the Chaos Mana from the Chaos Mountain that the Dragon Horn Empire has gotten after sealing a Chaos Elemental.
Just like Hybrids, the Chaos Deviants have many different traits basing on the breed of their parents, thus allowing them to do many unique physical combat styles. Although not all of the Hybrids are powerful, even with their unique physical combat styles, it still can\'t deny the fact that there indeed exists a few of them, and such Hybrids are the perfect candidates to become Chaos Deviants.
No one knows how exactly are Chaos Deviants created, aside of course from those people who experimented with them, which includes Emperor Yuta. But one thing is for sure; through the use of Chaos Mana, the Chaos Deviants became really powerful to the point that they are almost like the Chaos Mana itself.
Just like Chaos Mana, which would devour other Elements of Mana, aside from itself, the Chaos Deviants also have similar traits.
In the case of the Chaos Deviants, they would devour all the Elements Mana, including Chaos Mana itself, in order to become even more powerful. Aside from that, just like Chaos Mana, almost all the Elements are ineffective against them. So, when fighting against them, unless one is good in physical combat like the Magical Knights and Battle Mages, then they would basically be doing almost no damage against the Chaos Deviants. Of course, it\'s still possible to kill them through using Magic spells or any form of Magic, but it would be the less effective method when fighting against them.
Actually, the Chaos Deviants are known to only be able to rely on two different styles when it comes to fighting. One, they can only use Chaos Mana since all the other Element Mana can\'t be used by them due to the nature of Chaos Mana that rejects any other Element Mana that isn\'t similar to them. Two, their physical combat capability, which is the reason why the Hybrids are the perfect candidates.
That\'s the reason why the Chaos Deviants are labeled as extremely dangerous to everyone, which, at the same time, also became a high demand by all the Royal families of the different Human territories, or even allied Foreign races.
In fact, the Chaos Deviants was the main reason why the Dragon Horn Empire is more powerful than the Horizon Empire as of now.
In the past, before the Chaos Deviants were revealed by the Dragon Horn Empire, the Horizon Empire was rank 1st amongst all the Human Empires, with the Dragon Horn Empire being the 2nd rank. It was simply because almost all the talented and powerful people of the Human race live in their territory. Furthermore, they produce talents far more compared to the other Human territories due to their well-established Mage Academies and also through the help of the Infinite Magic Sect.
But as soon as the Dragon Horn Empire revealed the Chaos Deviants, they immediately replaced the Horizon Empire in the 1st rank.
Why?
Very simple; the Dragon Horn Empire will only accept to trade Chaos Deviants to its allies and no one else. Although it\'s still possible to get one through different channels, but once discovered, they are immediately eliminated.
This, in turn, attracted the 2nd and 3rd rank Human sect, specifically Heaven Feather Sect and Twisted Horn Sect, to become allies with the Dragon Horn Empire. Aside from them, Aurora Empire, Violent Lotus Empire, and Holy Light Empire also became very close allies with the Dragon Horn Empire. And to make matters even worse, many of the Human Kingdoms who were once allies of the Horizon Empire cut off their alliance with them just so that they can join and become allies with the Dragon Horn Empire.
Unlike the Aurora Empire, Violent Lotus Empire, and Holy Light Empire, which all have powerful Magic technologies that the Dragon Horn Empire is interested in, the Human Kingdoms, on the other hand, were considered powerless when it comes to trading powerful Magic technologies. That\'s why, their condition to trade Chaos Deviants was to cut-off their alliance with those that aren\'t part of the Dragon Horn Empire\'s alliance, which in fact, is actually targeted to the Horizon Empire as they have almost all the Human territories as their allies.
The most commonly known trade that Emperor Yuta has personally publicized is by trading powerful and beautiful woman that he wants to add to his harem or through powerful Magic technologies, such as the Floating Mountain of the Aurora Empire, and Magical objects, such as rare and above Magical resources, Magic weapons, Magic equipment, or even Magic tools in exchange for Chaos Deviants.
"Indeed, one of the most dangerous variables that will definitely be stopping us on our path of fighting against the Gods is Emperor Yuta of the Dragon Horn Empire," Leo nodded his head as he also agreed with what Angel had said.
Cassandra and Elizabeth, who had both proposed a really good idea a while ago, can\'t help themselves from hesitating on the choice they made after they heard Angel\'s explanation. They both had seriously failed to consider Emperor Yuta.
Emperor Yuta was an extremely perverted person who only cares about his personal benefits. Whatever the case is, as long as it doesn\'t give him sexual satisfaction, monetary benefits, or that it doesn\'t threaten what he considers as his own property, then he wouldn\'t care about it at all.
Therefore, once they are all captured by Emperor Yuta, their only Fate remaining would be two; first, Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, Charlotte, Elaine, and Sele would become a part of his harem, while Leo, Ethan, Edward, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre would become his soldier. And second, die!
They won\'t even be able to move Emperor Yuta using the reason that what they are doing is for the survival of the entire Human race and all the inhabitants of the Celestial World.
In fact, Emperor Yuta might even just reply nonchalantly, "Oh, then why don\'t I just do it myself?" This might sound heroic, but in fact, the real meaning behind that is, "I can save the Celestial World myself, so all the women just lay down on my bed to satisfy me while the men will work hard for me-*Ehem!* for saving the Celestial World?"
Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte looked at each other first before they all said in unison, "I agree with Angel!"
In their minds, no matter what benefits the other Human territories could offer, it wouldn\'t be able to be as good as being able to defend them from Emperor Yuta.
What use is there in having the chance of becoming dominant in aerial battle or a new Empire acting as their middleman to buy important Magic technologies from the other Human territories if they can\'t even become powerful to achieve any of those? What comes after their power would be fame, and what comes after fame, which was supposedly riches, would instead become Emperor Yuta.
Ethan, Elaine, Edward, Sele, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre also nodded their heads to express that they agree with Angel\'s idea.
Seeing their reaction, Leo smiled as he said, "To be honest, Angel\'s opinion is also what I\'ve thought. With the existence of Emperor Yuta amongst the Human race, women would always be suppressed in their growth to become strong. Of course, a few would still be able to succeed. For example, the Black organization\'s Vice-presidents Barbara or those that have joined the Heaven Feather Sect, but that could only happen once they join powerful organizations capable of fighting against Emperor Yuta and his Dragon Horn Empire. But in our case right now, is that even possible? We obviously can\'t join any organizations as we would only be restricted in such a way, and not to mention we can\'t even try to join Sects since in their eyes we are considered weak and don\'t have enough potential."
"Why not just go to the territory of other Foreign races who don\'t view the Human race in an antagonistic way, then?" Cassandra suddenly proposed.
Hearing Cassandra\'s words, Leo shook his head before replying, "In that case, then all of us would be suppressed and restricted. Who amongst the Foreign races would want the other Foreign races to become strong in their own territory? Absolutely no one would allow for that to happen! Even the Foreign races allied with the Human race wouldn\'t let any of that to happen!"
"Of course, we can\'t just abandon the females and let only males join our Guild, right? That\'s just plain ridiculous! That\'s not even any different to what Emperor Yuta is doing, and not to mention, we need all the manpower we can get right now." Leo took out another stick from one of his Storage Rings and pointed it at the Horizon Empire, "That\'s why I thought since only Horizon Empire has the chance of fighting against Emperor Yuta, then why not just try to risk establishing a Guild over there? We don\'t know, maybe once we become powerful and known throughout the entire Horizon Empire, they would give us shelter if ever Emperor Yuta tries to have any bad intention against us. And besides, we can always just grow to become powerful enough to defend against the Dragon Horn Empire before Emperor Yuta notices us, right?"
"Indeed, who says we can\'t defend ourselves or even fight back against Emperor Yuta, right?" Elizabeth turned to look at the others.
"Let\'s do that, then!" Veronica expressed her agreement.
"It\'s possible, and even if we do lose, we can always just retreat and start anew, right?" Ash nodded her head and continued, "Once we retreat and started again, we won\'t be starting from scratch anymore!"
"Does my opinion even still matter here?" Charlotte shook her head in helplessness, but with a smile on her face, "Let\'s just choose to do that!"
"I agree!" Ethan and Elaine nodded.
"I agree as well!" Edward and Sele agreed.
"No problem!" Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre expressed.
"Since we have already reached an agreement, then let\'s proceed to the Horizon Empire!" Leo said as he closed the map of the Hundred Labyrinths Continent.
