Chapter 798: Isis’ True Colors

Drayce greeted him with a light bow, as Grianor was the King here, and then began explaining how they ended up here.

"...As our mates were taken away, we are here to take them back," Drayce’s calm and dignified voice reached everyone. "We have nothing against the Heaven Realm. If you free our mates and allow us to take them back, with the promise that no one from the Heaven Realm ever bothers us again, we assure you, none of us will bother you as well."

Isis mocked softly, "Are weak earthlings even capable enough to cause us any bother? Do not overestimate yourselves. Just listen to us and submit the hellfire already—then you are free."

Drayce, who had remained calm out of respect for the King, turned to look at Isis. His gaze was cold and his words sharp. "If we are that insignificant, you wouldn’t be so restless and wouldn’t have abducted my mate, Deity Isis. Your recklessness simply shows how big a threat you consider us and how scared you are."

"Mind your words. You are talking to the Queen here," Isis said coldly.

"Then, deity Isis, I urge you to be righteous and bring Deity Sierra here—whom you have been keeping captive," Drayce added before she could refute having Sierra. "I witnessed you take her away after faking the show of pushing her into the Celestial Hollow."

"You earthling, you shouldn’t lie—"

Grianor raised his hand to stop her. "He is not finished yet. Whether he is lying or not, we will decide once he finishes."

Isis clenched her fists and stepped back, her gaze shifting around as if to signal something.

Grianor instructed Drayce, "Continue."

Drayce obeyed. "The previous Deity of Earth is here in the Heaven Realm—Deity Isis’ captive. The reason the Deity of Fire was suddenly angered and caused hellfire destruction was because her friend was thrown into the Celestial Hollow in front of her. But it was all a plot orchestrated by Deity Isis, and Deity Sierra is still captive."

Drayce had already told Seren and Ember that Sierra was alive, as both had been deeply hurt thinking they had lost her.

Grianor turned to Isis, "Deity Isis, do you wish to say something in your defence?"

Isis looked at him, her gaze suddenly hurtful. "My sovereign, I ask you. Do you trust these earthlings over your own wife, the Queen, who wants nothing but to protect this heaven realm?"

"As the one making the decision, I have to be impartial. I am not your husband at this moment, but just the King of Heaven," Grianor said, without a tinge of emotion. "And as you are Queen, you must have answers to your actions. No deity, especially you and I, we do not have the free right to act on our will. We must provide an explanation."

"You want an explanation, my sovereign?" As she said this, the hurtful expressions on her face were replaced with a wicked smirk and mockery. "Sure."

The sudden change in her shocked everyone, while Grianor stood there as calm and composed like before.

She put forward her hand; a divine magic emitted from her hand, and the next moment a bright crystal full of the most powerful divine energy appeared in the air, supported by the magic emitting from her hand.

Loud gasps were heard from the deities, as all of them were shocked, while Grianor’s gaze turned cold—a tinge of anger appearing in the eyes of the ever-so-calm and composed deity.

Meanwhile, the four captives and Evanthe didn’t know what it was, as they had never heard or read about it. All they could tell was that it was something really powerful—beyond what they could even control.
