"Alright, stop being so shocked."
"Come with me."
Ultima had no intention of wasting words and spoke directly. "My boss wants to see you. If you don't want the Vampire race to be destroyed, then follow obediently!"
Ultima was very cautious.
She knew that among the Four Primordials, her strength was the weakest.
The only way to deal with Luminous quickly would be to use an Ultimate Skill.
However, considering Luminous's talent and potential, there was a certain possibility that she could overcome the ultimate threshold under immense pressure and obtain her own Ultimate Skill.
If that happened, not only would Ultima fail her mission, but she might also make Luminous wary.
In the worst case, Luminous could even rally all the Demon Lords to jointly confront Rin and the Monster Nation.
That was absolutely not what Ultima wanted to see.
Therefore, even if the chance of Luminous breaking through was not high, Ultima would not take the risk.
As the saying goes, it is better to gain nothing than to make a mistake.
"Boss?"
Luminous caught this key word. "Is it a certain Demon Lord? Dark Emperor Guy?"
According to Ultima, her boss was the one who gave her a name.
And anyone capable of naming a Primordial must be a True Demon Lord, possessing an enormous amount of magicules, at least tens of millions.
Luminous thought carefully about such an existence, and the only one she could think of was Guy.
Aside from him, no one else could make a Primordial Demon Progenitor willingly submit.
This had nothing to do with strength.
It was simply because demons often only submitted to higher-ranking beings of their own kind.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Rin.
With the status of the Genesis Dragon God, let alone the four Primordials, even Guy would show sufficient respect.
"Ah, you mean Red?"
"No, my boss has nothing to do with Red."
Ultima waved her hand and said, "In any case, I advise you to come with me. Otherwise, the consequences are definitely not something you can bear."
"Tsk!"
Luminous's magic power surged as displeasure flashed across her face.
"Are you threatening me?"
Luminous said, "Even if you have successfully awakened and become a Demon God, I will not fear you!"
That statement was somewhat forced.
Luminous, who had not yet obtained the Lord of Lust, could not defeat the Ultima before her.
If a fight broke out, she might be able to escape, but the Holy Empire of Lubelius and the Vampires here would certainly be wiped out.
Luminous could not accept such a price.
Therefore, the best outcome was to agree to Ultima's request and go with her to meet that unknown, mysterious existence.
"Alright, alright."
Ultima said, "In any case, calm down first."
"I am truly thinking for your sake."
The two had fought many times, and Ultima actually enjoyed teasing Luminous.
It would be a pity if such a companion were killed by Rin.
"I absolutely cannot reveal information about my boss."
"But other things don't matter."
Ultima said, "Luminous, do you know about Primordial Demons?"
"..."
Luminous gave her a look that clearly said, are you joking?
"Cough, I mean Primordials other than myself."
"Dark Emperor Guy!"
Luminous didn't know much about Primordial Demons. The only one she truly knew was Guy.
As for the two maids by Guy's side, Luminous had never looked into them.
After all, who would have imagined that the legendary Primordial Demons would actually submit to Guy?
"I'm not the only Primordial who has appeared in this world, you know."
Ultima's words were like a depth charge, plunging Luminous into shock. "Black, White, Yellow. That great one summoned four Primordials at once."
"Although I don't want to admit it, among us, my strength is the weakest."
"Yellow is far stronger than me."
"White and Black even possess potential comparable to Red."
Ultima looked at the extremely gloomy Luminous and spoke in a deep voice. "I am not threatening you. I am stating a fact."
"If you refuse me this time..."
Ultima said, "Then next time..."
Ultima continued, "It is very likely that the four Primordials will personally come to invite you."
"!!!"
Luminous clenched her fists abruptly, her eyes locked onto Ultima, wishing she could bite her to death.
Four Primordials. Is this real?
What kind of joke was this!
Existences on the level of Dark Emperor Guy being summoned, and four of them at once!
What exactly did that so-called great one want to do?
Destroy the world?
And these were Primordials who had been given names, acquired physical bodies, and even awakened.
Luminous could not even imagine how terrifying those monsters could be.
"You're not lying to me?"
"Demons cannot joke with other demons, especially with beings of equal or higher status."
Ultima was certain that Luminous knew this very well.
She was only asking to vent the unease in her heart.
Without a doubt, this time the Holy Empire of Lubelius and the Vampires were facing their greatest crisis since Veldora.
"Alright, I'll go with you."
Luminous had no choice. She did not dare gamble, nor could she afford to.
"But!"
Luminous said, "Before I leave, I must know which faction you and the power behind you represent!"
This was extremely important.
Luminous's stance had always aligned with the Demon Lords' Council.
And they had a common enemy, the Eastern Empire.
If the person behind Ultima was the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, then she might as well fight to the death here and immediately convene the Demon Lords' Banquet.
"Relax, relax."
Ultima smiled and said, "I know what you're worried about, but we have absolutely no connection with the Eastern Empire."
"As for factions..."
"We can temporarily be considered a neutral faction."
Ultima's eyes grew slightly cold as she continued, "You should know this very well, shouldn't you? After all, not long ago, you sent people to attack us."
"???"
In an instant, Luminous understood everything.
Hinata and the Holy Knights were trapped in the Great Jura Forest.
And Ultima, along with the existence behind her, represented the power of the Jura Great Forest!
In other words...
'I sent Hinata to attack four Primordial Demon Progenitors?'
At that thought, Luminous only wanted to go back in time and strangle her past self.
