Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Because Julius had already turned to face them, leaving his back to the three members of the Great Demon Clan.

"I admit that I am the Traitor among the Twelve War Gods, but I have not betrayed the Cerryti Empire."

Julius gazed at Ryan and Bianca, speaking to the other War Gods in the communication channel as well.

"Don't you find it odd? That man seems to have all the answers; everything is resolved so smoothly, as if the Blood Clan's turmoil was just a heroic fairy tale he orchestrated. Violet and I were companions; we witnessed the Blood Clan being attacked together. I can prove they're not lying."

Holding his hand over his chest, Julius spoke to them with a face twisted by hatred, gnashing his teeth with a heart full of malice.

At this moment, he no longer needed to hide his burning hatred for Hesintos.

"Julius, even if you say so..."

Jasper's voice was slightly hesitant; she was surprised by Julius's attitude but remained unwavering in her decision based solely on his words.

In front of Julius, Ryan and Bianca wore the same expression.

Soon, their faces were overtaken by astonishment.

Julius knelt before Ryan and Bianca, bowing his head and pleading with them to trust him.

"These are not the most important; I want to gain your trust."

Regardless of his dignity, Julius knelt before Ryan and Bianca,

"I pledge with all the trust we've accumulated since working together. If I'm lying, I'll accept any punishment."

"This..."

Bianca looked at Julius in dismay, then at Ryan.

Julius, always the most arrogant of all the War Gods, at this moment, to uphold Violet and expose Hesintos's crimes, set aside all his pride and knelt before them.

There was a touch of emotion in Bianca and Ryan's eyes.

The Traitor would not stab them in the back because he always saw them as comrades, or he never changed himself.

But this is treason, with no excuse or return.

"Julius, you..."

Ryan clutched the Magic Sword, filled with anger, surprise, bitterness, and confusion, even a bit shaken.

Based on his understanding of Julius, he actually preferred to believe Julius over Hesintos.

But betting everything and renouncing faith was not easy.

Especially for the Twelve War Gods tasked with protecting the Cerryti Empire.

At this moment, a slender figure suddenly ran out from the school building.

She jumped and waved her arms, shouting to attract the War Gods' attention, ignoring the Saint Kray Temple's acting principal's school-wide announcement, she ran to the closest spot to the battlefield, with another figure chasing her, trying to hold her back, fearing she would act recklessly.

Even outside the Barrier in the sky, the three Demon Race members and War Gods couldn't help but look over at the commotion.

The next second, the Ninth War God Ryan's eyes widened.

It was his sister Ursula.

Behind her was Elsa, Ursula's good friend, trying to bring Ursula back.

"Ursula? Go back!"

Ryan, disregarding everything, blocked between the three Great Demon Clan members and the Barrier, shouting at Ursula behind the Barrier.

"Brother, help Professor Landry and the others. They're the people who will save the Empire. That white-robed Pope stopped you that day from taking my people under the Blood Clan's control!"

Ursula was still shouting with all her might.

"Ryan, the Barrier is safe. The two of us can hold it; don't worry about your sister being taken as a hostage, meow."

Bianca immediately understood what Ryan was most worried about and spoke to him.

At this time, one must not become constrained by threats!

"..."

Ryan remained silent for a long time after hearing these words, then sheathed the Magic Sword. He bent down to grab Julius's arm and pulled him up.

"Then I'll trust you once more."

Ryan said to Julius.

Reflecting on the situation when he encountered his sister during the Moon Goddess Festival, had he taken his sister, her life or death would have been dictated by the Blood Clan. If Landry were one of them, he had no reason to stop him from taking his sister.

Even if he owed Landry, he should repay him.

"Meow? Ryan? What are you doing?"

Bianca was so shocked that her tail stood up. Compared to Julius's change of heart, Ryan's change was even more unexpected.

"Ryan, consider this; it's treason. You're about to become our enemy."

Jasper's icy warning came through the communication channel.

"This is my only chance to make amends. I've already hurt my sister once. If I don't believe her now, how can I ever make it up..."

Ryan said with unwavering determination,

"Anyway, I believe Ursula is definitely right. From the time I was controlled by Rashar, the Third Ancestor, Ursula was trying to bring me back. Now that I'm awake, I swear I'll only believe her for the rest of my life!"

Ryan was certain that if he couldn't distinguish truth from falsehood, he would unconditionally trust Ursula.

Within the Barrier of the Saint Kray Temple.

"Brother, are you an idiot...?"

Upon hearing Ryan's open declaration of treason, Ursula, who had been heartbroken for a long time by her brother's coldness, now felt a bit embarrassed, hiding behind Elsa.

"..."

The War Gods' communication channel fell into silence, filled only with a buzzing noise.
