1478 The Lands of The Gods...Huh?

"How many fallen spirits are you short of?"

The Godfather asked, not bothering to waste time on what caused the plan to fail or berate the duke for allowing it to happen.

The Celestial Pendant consumed too much energy each second it remained active and there was no way to replenish its energy in the spirit realm.

"We still need more than half a million spirits to have an above 50% success chance." Duke Humphrey anwsered with a deep sigh.

He might have shown his subordinates a assured front, but he was also under the impression that their plan was bound to falter if they went for it now.

"An entire half a million? What were you doing all of those years?" The Godfather asked with an overbearing tone that almost broke the Duke's back from its pure pressure.

"Godfather, please! I have been careful not to attract Lord Hade's attention. The pendant can only hide what happens around me, but not for the others." Duke Humphrey beseeched.

"I don't need excuses, I need results." Godfather eyed him coldly, "What will I tell the superior celestials if the plan fails?"

"I promise you, I will make it work one way or another...In fact, I already have an idea, but it's too risky and it will cause me to lose the celestial pendant." Duke Humphrey said.

"I don't want to know, just make it happen." The Godfather warned one last time, "The next time we speak, it better be face to face."

After finishing his piece, the celestial pendant retrieved the galaxy back inside its core, expelling Duke Humphrey into his office.

He looked down at the pendant that seemed somewhat dimmer than usual and couldn't help but tighten his grasp on it.

'I only have one chance to fulfill my duty and return to my rightful place.' Duke Humphrey thought with a look of absolute resolve. 'If it means using that method, so be it.'

No one was with him, causing the silence inside the room to make him immerse himself in the events leading to his arrest.
