The Nine Heaven Emperor frowned and waved his hand to dismiss them. He then asked Darryl, "What is it?"
At the same time, Empress Heidi looked at Darryl, displeased. "Darryl, we're marrying Dorothy to you and it's a blessing for you. How dare you bring her along to escape the marriage? What are you up to now?"
Darryl forced a smile and said, "How dare I pull a trick?"
Then, he started talking about the vision he saw earlier. Certainly, he did not mention that he used the Heavenly Oracle Bone and only said that Archfiend Antigonus was restoring his human body.
'What?' As he heard, the Nine Heaven Emperor's face changed, stood up from the bed, and stared at Darryl. "Is that true?"
"Absolutely true." Darryl nodded.
The Nine Heaven Emperor took a deep breath and made eye contact with Empress Heidi. They were both in shock. The consequences of the rebirth of Archfiend Antigonus were beyond imagination.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the door. "Your Majesty!"
Then, Master Magaera walked in quickly with a slender figure. The figure's facial features were delicate but her eyes were in a daze like she had lost her soul. It was Princess Dorothy.
On the way back to the Godly Region, she woke up and when she found out that General Grunt abandoned her, she broke down as she found it hard to accept. At that time, though she had calmed down, she was felt deflated.
'D*mn it!' Darryl quietly moaned. He thought Princess Dorothy had gone to rescue General Grunt and eloped. Who would have thought Master Magaera would have caught her so soon?
The Nine Heave Emperor glared at Princess Dorothy and scoffed. Empress Heidi looked displeased as well and rebuked the Princess. "Dorothy, what a fool you are! You're about to get married. How could you run away to The Nine Mainlands with General Grunt? You're about to marry someone. You can't be like this anymore, you hear me?"
Princess Dorothy nodded with a straight face. General Grunt's abandonmenthad impacted her so badly and at that point in time, she could not be bothered by anything.
Then, he ordered Master Magaera, "In that case, lead the armies and stop the rebirth before it happens."
As he spoke, he thought something was not right. "No, wait. I shall take the lead on my own!"
Darryl looked calm on the outside, but deep down he was utterly emotional. The Nine Heaven Emperor had said that he would take the lead. That would mean that the wedding with the Princess would be temporarily postponed.
Suddenly, Empress Heidi got to her feet and stood in front of the Nine Heaven Emperor. "If you're leading the army, then what should we do about our daughter's wedding?"
The Nine Heaven Emperor scowled. "The rebirth of Archfiend Antigonus is not a small matter. Let's just postpone the wedding."
'But…' Empress Heidi was flustered. The situation with Archfiend Antigonus was important, but their daughter's wedding was also a major event. How could they simply postpone it?
