Chapter 482: 269 “The War of Order” and “Time is Running Out” (Please Subscribe)_2
During this time, Milton Cheney had already heard some news from no less than three demons.
The messages were roughly the same – that the war of order was likely to burst forth in the near future.
No news appears without cause, especially when the spread of such news wasn’t deliberately hindered by that Level 8 demon from Order Seventeen.
It was almost as if the message was tacitly acknowledged.
If the news were true, then Milton Cheney’s chances of continuing to lay low and grow were slim.
After all, if Order Seventeen truly erupts into large-scale warfare with other demonic orders, it wouldn’t be a conflict that ends in a mere moment.
This war is unlike the Inter-realm Wars in the Wizard Realm.
In the Wizard Realm, Void Battlefields are delineated for such wars, but there are no such rules for wars between demon orders.
The situation where Advanced Demons sweep through Low Level Demons undoubtedly exists.
And once the battlefield erupts, Milton Cheney would not be able to extricate himself.
As he enjoyed the protection provided by the Order, how could he possibly not join the war?
And in such a war, even though Milton Cheney had become a Level 3 Demon by this time, it was still not enough.
Within the larger system of the Demon Tribe, a Level 3 Demon was still considered a member of the Low Level Demons.
He was merely one of the strongest among the Low Level Demons.
But a Low Level Demon, no matter how strong, was just a Low Level Demon.
When facing an Advanced Demon, he would have no power to resist at all.
Even Milton Cheney was no exception to this, since he didn’t possess anything special.
His abilities were also possessed by other demons.
As for the memories he had that others didn’t, in a full-scale war, they seemed less important.
“It’s exactly as I’ve understood,” Cheney muttered solemnly to himself, “wars between different orders are indeed quite frequent.”
“I just hope this time it’s not a large-scale war of order, otherwise it would be quite troublesome.”
Milton Cheney’s heart was heavy as he spoke to himself.
It must be said that Cheney had anticipated the coming of war quite some time ago.
He didn’t harbor any vain hopes.
He simply thought that it wouldn’t come so soon, but now it seemed it really was this quick.
The development of the world couldn’t possibly follow Milton Cheney’s wishes completely, after all, he was only reincarnated into this world, it didn’t belong solely to him.
By this time, the news about the war of order was already flying about in Order Seventeen.
After all, even a demon like Milton Cheney who paid no heed to worldly affairs had heard, so it was likely that every other demon had as well.
If it were false news, surely an Advanced Demon would come out to suppress the spread of such rumors.
Since none did, it was highly probable that the news was true.
At least that’s what Milton Cheney believed.
Cheney thought that the news might have originated from the mouths of those Advanced Demons.
It was even highly probable that it was disseminated by the ruler of Order Seventeen himself.
After all, the key to whether war between the orders would erupt was in the hands of the controller of Order Seventeen.
If he wanted the war to break out, then it would inevitably happen.
If he didn’t want the war to erupt, similarly, the war might very well not occur.
The wars between orders were different from the Inter-realm Wars between the Wizard Realm and the Bloody Sea Realm.
There were unwritten rules among the different demon orders.
War won’t just burst forth because of one-sided reasons.
As to why the news of the war spread before it erupted, Milton Cheney had some guesses.
The reasoning might very well be that the ruler of Order Seventeen wanted to give every demon in Order Seventeen time to prepare in advance.
A war between different demon orders can’t be a small matter, and the chance of war suddenly erupting out of nowhere is nearly non-existent.
So, being prepared beforehand is necessary.
Of course, this was just Milton Cheney’s speculation at the time.
Whether this is the case, Milton Cheney could only say there was a very good chance, but he wasn’t a hundred percent certain.
Even so, that was actually enough.
Sometimes, to see something clearly, you don’t need absolute certainty; a conjecture or an idea is sufficient.
If this war was truly unavoidable, then accurate information would surely follow thereafter.
If this was a warning, then there would inevitably be time to prepare.
By then, no matter how much Milton Cheney thought, it would no longer matter.
What Milton Cheney needed to do at this moment was to wait for the accurate information.
During this time, it was naturally impossible for Milton Cheney to enter a state of total empty-mindedness.
After all, if a war were to break out, even if he grew a bit, it wouldn’t matter much.
Unless he could directly grow to the level of an Advanced Demon, otherwise, his participation in this war would hardly be of any help.
But that was impossible. Milton Cheney had just completed his Third Transformation and had only just become a Level 3 Demon.
The gap between him and a Level 4 Demon was simply too vast.
There definitely wasn’t enough time.
The real opportunity to become a Level 4 Demon could only come after the war of order was over.
But Milton Cheney wasn’t even sure if he could survive completely through this war.
Time was too urgent.
If Milton Cheney were a Level 4 Demon at this moment, he would have no worries at all.
But as long as he didn’t perish in this war of order, Milton Cheney was very likely to undergo another Transformation in this Reincarnation Simulation.
If he really completed his Fourth Transformation, he probably could be comparable to a Level 5 Wizard in reality.
By then, preserving his Realm in reality would be of immense help to Milton Cheney.
It was precisely because of these comprehensive considerations that Milton Cheney did not enter a state of total empty-mindedness during this period.
After all, if Milton Cheney chose to enter such a state, he might miss many important messages.
After weighing the pros and cons, Milton Cheney made the choice to wait silently.
At this juncture, Milton Cheney couldn’t afford to miss any important messages.
Otherwise, it was very possible that because of a message, he might not survive the war, ultimately leading to the end of this Reincarnation Simulation.
The Abyssal did not keep time, but time still passed.
Within his Territory, Milton Cheney’s mind stirred.
Just in that moment, a voice suddenly entered his mind.
There were no other Demons around him, indicating that the voice had been transmitted directly into his mind from a faraway place.
That voice was not unfamiliar to Milton Cheney.
The owner of the voice was no stranger to Milton Cheney either.
Indeed, the owner of the voice was none other than the ruler of Order 17, the sole Level 8 Demon within it.
And the content conveyed by that voice was directly understood by Milton Cheney.
“As expected, the previous messages were just a warm-up. The war of order is, after all, still coming.”
In that moment, Milton Cheney spoke to himself.
Deep in his heart, he actually felt somewhat emotional.
During this time, Milton Cheney had actually considered whether or not this battle would erupt.
He thought of many possibilities, but now those possibilities were no longer relevant.
After all, if a Level 8 Demon had sent a message, then it couldn’t be false.
The next moment, Milton Cheney stopped sorting through the thoughts in his mind.
The Demon body slightly moved and disappeared from the spot.
When Milton Cheney’s Demon body reappeared, it was already in a formation.
All around him, there were Demons just like him, Level 3.
