"Old Master Tenrou's Blood!"

This realization slapped Raven pretty hard. When he arrived at this point in his thoughts, the idea that he might be the 'Elven Abomination' that the Centurion Lancer was referring to, became more and more possible. 

Raven was shocked to the point that he unconsciously sat down on the bed, his thoughts worked fast as he recalled everything he knew about Tenrou. 

"Old Master Tenrou is considered as an Abomination by his own race. He's half Elf and half Dwarf. The history of the two races dated all the way since ancient times and although I don't know why the races are odds with each other, I know that they we're created by nature."

"According to records, back in the ancient era, every living being that has pointed ears were considered as part of the Elven Race. Back then, the Dwarves are referred to as Earthen Elves while the Elves and were identified as Forest Elves. Pixies are referred to Little-winged Elves and Fairies are called Winged Elves."

"It's unknown why and when this race started drifting from each other but if it happened then there must a reason for it."

"A spawn of a Dwarf and an Elf was considered as an Evil Spawn. According to Old Master Tenrou's words, he was hunted down by both the Elves and the Dwarves. Because he felt rather unwilling to just disappear without leaving a mark in history, he decided to save a drop of his blood essence and hid it away from prying eyes, hoping that one day, someone worth will come and achieve the greatest feat of combining the talents of the opposing tribes."

"And I managed to achieve that..." Raven shudder in realization. "Elves had an innate talent in Space Laws while the Dwarves are talented in Time Laws. Master Tenrou has the highest possibility of learning both at the same time and even fusing them together. However, he was hunted down by his own race and didn't manage to achieve greatness."

"I, through fortunate circumstances, received his inheritance and even managed to achieve what he couldn't. Spacetime Laws, one of the rare laws that practically offers pseudo-Immortality."

"Elven Abomination. By now, I'm at least 90% sure that they're referring to me. But the question in, how the hell they did found out? Aren't I supposed to be hidden by Master Geezer? If even the Heavenly Laws themselves doesn't notice me, then how come those 'Sins' could?"

"Why do they want to kill an Elven Abomination? Why are they…afraid of it? Is it due to Spacetime Laws? It shouldn't be right? Plus, I'm pretty sure that I only used Spacetime Laws inside the crown space. Is it possible that they've sensed me even if I was in there? It shouldn't be right?"

"There must be something more from this." Raven was stressing out. "Come to think of it, these Devils that we are fighting also have pointed ears. If this was the ancient times they might be called as either Dark Elves or Corrupted Elves. But this is just a conjecture. In the end, many people said that these Devils were from the Devil Emperor himself."

"I shouldn't think about their origins for now. That should be the least of my worries. What's important is that I'm being targeted and I'm in serious danger if I don't do something." Raven bit his lips and felt nervous. 

He then sat down and entered meditation, trying to figure out ways on now to get out of their radar. What he wanted was for anyone not to realize that he was the Elven Abomination. Even though it hasn't been confirmed just yet, he wanted to play it safe and redirect their attention away from him until he's strong enough to openly go against them. 

Raven as well as his numerous Avatars, worked in tandem in order to go through all of the possible ways to hide his presence to them. After a few hours to thinking, he managed to find a way but he can't do it for now as it requires some materials in order to work. He's currently out of Merit Points so he could only postpone this for now. 

In the end, he could only hope that the Elders will be kind enough to at least reward him with a generous amount of Merit Points for his service and contributions. For now, he could only sigh and lie down on his bed as he waits.

"This concludes our report about the recent cause of our mobilization. Respected Elders, we now await your orders as to what we should do next."

Theodore, one of the current War Gods and a Fire Keeper, concluded his reports about the recent incident of the Centurion Lancer arriving at Tartarus without any further warnings. 

The humongous body of the Centurion Lancer was displayed for everyone in the council to see. 

There was a brief silence that took over the council hall, the War Gods remained silent and patiently waited for the Elders to reach a reach a consensus. It might not be visible or audible, but they knew that the Elders are communicating with each other through transmissions. 

After waiting for a least a couple of minutes, a light tapping could be heard around the council hall. They all looked at the source of that sound and noticed that it was coming from the chair situated in the very middle. All of them respectfully waited for instructions. 

"Forbid anyone from venturing to the Devil's Cradle for now. Instead of a patrol, issue some missions which requires them to guard the walls and have them write a written report about everything that they see during their shift."

"We hear and obey Grand Elder's orders."

"This 'Elven Abomination' is something that piques my interest. Elder Philip."

"Here, Grand Elder."

"Take some smart brats with you and go to the Ancestral Tower. I'm granting you access there for three weeks only, you and your brats can only stay inside for six hours each day no more no less. You may also ask the current Athena's Help with your search. By the end of your three week deadline, I'm expecting you to clarify what this 'Elven Abomination truly' is."

"I hear and obey Grand Elder's orders."

"Henry, Logan, Theo, and you too Lurker. Go and see what these evil spawns are up to. Try to not rouse their vigilance and report back as soon as you gathered ample information. I'll give you a month's time for that."

"Affirmative, Grand Elder." 

"Anastasia."

"Here, Grand Elder."

"Arm yourself along with 200 men from Hall of Ares. Go to Asphodel and guard the Broken Floor. By no means you are to allow any ugly things to pass through you. That includes even the Hideous Emperor as well. Are you up for it."

"I'll do my absolute best, Grand Elder."

"And if you fail?"

"Then I shall die trying."

"Very good." The Grand Elder nodded. "Henry."

"Here, Grand Elder."

"That..." The grand elder pointed the small and unassuming table within the presentation area. "One of your brats made that?" 

"Yes, Grand Elder." Henry didn't show any displeasure from the way the Grand Elder referred to Raven as a 'brat'.

"And this is the same brat that blocked the lance of this ugly little thing right here?"

"Yes, Grand Elder." 

The Grand Elder's eyes turned dull for a second, everyone remained silent and didn't dare to interrupt him. After a few seconds, the gleam on the Grand Elder's eyes returned and wide smile bloomed on his face.

"Hoh! It seems we've got a little monster on our side huh?" The Grand Elder chuckled. 

Although his words sounded a little too vague and rude, the meaning behind his words were clear to everyone present. 

"Elder Song." 

"Here, Grand Elder."

"Give Henry's brat some candies will you? Also, bring that thing with you and study it. If you can, I want you to manufacture as many as you can. Give them to Anastasia and her team, let's see if it'll work on Asphodel  first and then the Broken Floors. If those are successful, then we can try bringing that in to Elysium and continue the experiment there. If it works, then give the brat something good."

Everyone was a little shocked upon hearing the Grand Elder's orders. Nevertheless, they could more or less understood why he's doing this. Communication had always been one of the biggest problem of the sect. Due to the interferences present around each battlefield, most of their attempts ended up in failure resulting on them just somewhat giving-up on it. 

However, that might just change due to this little thing right here. 

"Finally, I want all of you to minimize this news for now." The Grand Elder stated, "I don't want the brats to be alarmed by this, we need to keep them the way they are. Once we know more about the whole situation and this 'Elven Abomination', then we'll decide what move we shall do."

"We hear and obey Grand Elder's orders."

"Hera, Dear?"

"Yes. Grand Elder?" 

"Give this old man a massage will you? The one with a happy ending please." 

"Oh my! Very well, your wish is my command Grand Elder."

"As for the rest of you. Dismissed!"
