Urd suddenly cut into the conversation and asked in a deep voice, "Krul, how did you deal with that Vampire?"
Krul knew in her heart that Urd was asking about Hiiragi Shinya. Without even lifting an eyelid, she replied calmly.
"That guy? I sent him straight to Rig's subordinates for experiments. Hasn't he been complaining lately about a lack of experimental materials? This is perfect."
Hearing this, Rig immediately showed his signature smile and even clapped his hands, his tone carrying a hint of banter.
"You still understand me best, Krul. When it comes to research, you really do need fresh experiments from time to time, otherwise progress gets stuck."
After a while, Lest Karr finished his current tasks and strode into the meeting room. He plopped down and said to Krul, "Krul, your Sanguinem has quite a lot of daily affairs. If you can't handle it or can't stand it anymore, you can hand Sanguinem over to me. I'll definitely manage it properly."
Hearing this, Krul's brow furrowed. She had just received a report from her subordinates and knew that Lest Karr had temporarily helped with some affairs, but there were hardly any major issues in Sanguinem that required a Progenitor's attention. What did Lest Karr mean by that?
Seeing Krul's expression wasn't right and fearing she might let something slip in a moment of impulse, Luke quickly leaned in and whispered an explanation in her ear.
After listening, Krul's expression gradually became more animated. Finally, she even gave the smug Lest Karr a sympathetic look and nodded, saying, "Hmm, it's worth considering."
Although Lest Karr was arrogant, his ability to get things done was indeed good; Krul had to admit that. For minor matters, she could indeed make use of this free labor.
Lest Karr muttered to himself, not understanding why Krul looked at him with that strange expression. Moreover, didn't Krul usually hate arrogant guys like him the most? She didn't even snap back at him today—something was very wrong!
After everyone was seated, Rig scanned the room, cleared his throat, and officially began the meeting.
"Everyone, I haven't officially welcomed you all to Japan before, during this special period..."
Hearing this, Urd immediately interrupted with dissatisfaction, "Rig, when did you start liking these useless pleasantries?"
Rig wasn't annoyed at being interrupted; with a smile still on his face, he continued.
"Haha, Urd is right. I've indeed brought over some bad habits from the human side. Then I'll get straight to the point."
Then, Rig explained his plan to the Progenitors, including Lest Karr and Guren. He had decided to complete the Progenitor's plan! Everyone had already seen the Progenitor's memories, so they naturally knew what Rig was talking about. They originally wanted to stand up and question him directly, but seeing Urd's cold gaze signaling them, Lest Karr and Guren had no choice but to suppress their doubts and continue listening.
The fact that Krul and Luke possessed five sin keys was also revealed. This time, even Urd couldn't help but be shocked. Casting aside his usual indifference, surprise appeared on his face as he looked at Krul and Luke.
But after a moment's thought, he understood why Krul was able to obtain part of the Progenitor's power, and a flash of realization crossed his eyes.
However, Lest Karr was already full of indignation as he listened, muttering in his heart: Why should Krul and Luke get to hold five sin keys? What? You, Krul, even got part of the Progenitor's power!
Fortunately, although Lest Karr was arrogant, he wasn't brainless. No matter how upset he was, he had to accept it. His expression just turned somewhat ugly, his mouth twitched, and his eyes were full of resentment.
The other Progenitors also looked toward Luke and Krul. Krul didn't react much, looking calm as if she had expected this. Meanwhile, Luke smiled and waved at everyone with a relaxed and easygoing expression, feeling incredibly satisfied inside. He looked as if he were saying, "Envy me, be jealous! Surprised? Unexpected, right?"
What Rig had said earlier was a bombshell that left an indelible shock in their hearts. Ultimately, this gathering of Progenitors was for a showdown.
If the previous words were just an introduction, then what was to follow was what the Progenitors actually needed to do.
Rig leaned back in his chair, his eyes scanning the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "The Progenitor gave conditions. His remaining power will only be given to Yuichiro, and that power includes the technique to resurrect Mika. Luke, have you captured Yu yet?"
Luke shrugged and replied, "I sent people. He and Mika have also seen the memories; they shouldn't fail to come."
The answer Luke gave was very uncertain, his tone carrying a hint of doubt.
Rig was somewhat dissatisfied, his brow furrowing slightly, but he didn't criticize. He only said, "Then hurry up. Who knows when that Hiiragi girl will strike again."
The implication was that if Lacus and René didn't bring the person back, Luke had better go himself.
Luke didn't argue, only smiling helplessly. After all, he had indeed been lazy first, so there was nothing much to say.
Rig leaned back and looked at the silent Urd, saying, "My people and I will join the research on the technique. Urd, you seem to have a group of people researching how to turn Vampires back into humans, right?"
Urd nodded and said deeply, "Yes, my people will also assist you. This matter is of great importance; everyone must do their best."
Rig looked at the other Progenitors and instructed, "Bastia also needs to participate in the research. As for the others, you are responsible for collecting the remaining two sin keys. With Krul's current strength, you shouldn't have to work too hard."
After saying this, Rig seemed to already see the world's order restored, looking very satisfied.
Urd also seemed somewhat expectant, the corners of his mouth turning up three degrees more than usual.
Relieving the suffering of Vampires had always been Urd's wish. The curse of immortality had tormented them for thousands of years, which was why he had been arranging for his subordinates to study ways to turn Vampires into humans. Even if humans were fragile and had short lifespans, at least they could live as flesh and blood, experiencing the natural process of birth, aging, illness, and death, and feeling the warmth of life.
Now, the Angel race had solved the drawbacks of both humans and Vampires. Angels were long-lived but not immortal, emotional but not weak. This gave Urd new hope.
Just as Rig finished speaking and everyone was about to leave, Guren looked at Lest Karr. Lest Karr nodded slightly, and in that exchange of glances, Guren understood his meaning.
"Lord Rig, Lord Urd, our investigation in Shibuya has been completed."
Guren spoke respectfully.
Hearing this, Urd's eyes swept over the bandages around Guren's waist, and he frowned slightly.
"What's the situation? It seems you've run into some trouble?"
Lest Karr ordered his people to bring up the monster they had captured.
