Chapter 174 - The Mutant Emperor

When the morning arise, holding the grey briefcase Akagi and his crew got out at the dropping point, lift given by Vivian and few of his men, at a remote cave near the hillside within the forest.

"Through cave is the gateway. Good luck to your gentlemen and.... Don't forget about our deal."

"I won't."

Tomotaki claimed, Vivian and rest of his Scavengers drove back, Akagi inquired him--

"So, I don't see any Mutant civilization here. How we suppose to enter Caledonia?"

"Mitsumasa will explain everything."

"Get inside the cave everyone. Hey! Don't deforest around here with you venomous urine."

"FUCK OFF! Mike!"

Mikoto sarcastically trolled, Juzou peeing near a tree. Juzou responded raising his middle finger up.

After the laughter, Akagi approached Tomita before heading into the unknown cavern.

"Tomita. Now you gonna tell me about the situation?"

"Now if you believe such things—In the modern times, it become all myths; The City of Caledonia, The Emperor of Mutants, Royal Mutants Society, every foundation was established 5 centuries ago or even longer."

"Are they all even are true? Or all are mutant mythos?"

"I don't know. Some are, some aren't but one thing is real. The Trinihism."

"Trimi... What!?"

"The Mutant Religion, the path where every Royalists have to, if they want to show devotion to the Mutant Emperor. Every Mutants of all over the world hold some kind of loyalty to the Emperor of the Mutantkind, for the most devoted followers, the Emperor of Mutant is the immortal Mutant Individual who serves as the ruling monarch of the Maha Throne.

And is described by the First Generation and the Valhallal Lords Itself as the Father, Guardian and sole son of Aether. As part of this faith, the Holy Trinihism believes absolute faith, courage, honour, loyalty and sense of righteousness is the true five Mutanic virtue of divinity in the universe, and all pureblood Mutants that embody those virtues are holy because of it. The Emperor is the supreme object of obey for the servants of the Trinihism, for He is the living avatar of the Mutant Lord that is 'The Samesty'. But according the legends: many centuries ago, the prophet, Samesty proclaimed one of his testaments: this sacred land will be the first Mutanic nation, ever to build. The disciples obliged with absolute obedience. From then until now they trying to recapture and build the sacred land of Mutants, continue to fight and resist against humanity till date."

"I see... RMS Faction were responsible for many atrocities, mainly in Japan. The assassination of last Japanese prime minister to starting two major civil wars, still ongoing animosity between them and Brittonia. Now it made sense why Mutants are obsessed with Japan. They willing to spill blood, do unimaginable cruelty over innocent, to do whatever it takes."

"That not entirely true."

Tomita was under the impression that all RMS's dark, twisted insights made Akagi disgruntled.

"This is what usually happens. When you've got a large group of intelligent species, there's usually someone they must answer to. With RMS/Trinihism-following mutants, the answer to the Mutant Emperor, with Female they still call them Emperor. Mostly, all the Trinihism Mutants in the world are descended from them or pledge their allegiance to, they sometimes come with spouse, though it's becoming rarer in recent years. The Emperors almost always the most powerful of the kind, because they must have kept their throne somehow. If not, he or she almost certainly has the loyalty of those who are. Though it was a long time ago, RMS getting rustier in recent decades: Corrupt Valhallal Lords abuse their powers for their own selfish ends and entertainment. A complex web of intrigue, in which death comes as poison, or a dagger in the night. That kind of murder is like a fine wine. several members are prideful, snobbish nobles-by-blood-only who secretly abuse their power... who are nothing but bunch of selfish, power-abusing Machiavellian backstabbing assholes."

"No need to justify their system of rule or the long-standing hierarchy, Mister Mitsumasa. You himself are a criminal mastermind, are you not? Whitewashing something is not your style anyway."

"Hah! Master Shinsuke. That's..."

Tomita don't know what to say, either laugh or took Akagi's joke seriously. He's not disgruntled instead very pleased with RMS's extremism; an army of devoted strong-willed followers will fight to the death is exactly what he needs.

After Tomita brief introduction The Trinihism Religion and The Royal Society, Akagi suspects much of the RMS's nastiness and sheer wickedness was downplayed and went largely unmentioned. Lords of Valhallal and Regional Royalists were described as heroic individuals. Even he hopefully said the Royalists lost the ability to restore unit morale by means of executing failed underlings.

"It's done. Get inside the cave now!"

After thorough search Tomotaki gathered everyone inside the empty cave. Revealed an abnormal book out.

"What's that book for?"

Juzou inquired disgruntledly.

"You won't believe me if I tell you. So, shut up for a while. Everyone."

Silencing everyone, Tomotaki activated his Orange Hikaru-Eye and began reading out the book which was blank on the inside. Whispering some foreign language, they had no notion about.

"What's he doing?"

Mumbled Misaki beside Tomita dubiously.

He glanced around for a second and replied vaguely, in slow tone.

"What I have gathered about this matter: what he is doing is chanting for power from the book to enter the Caledonia for the first time without tear our body, limbs apart and throw our soul and conscious into the endless hellish nightmares abyss of madness and chaos."

"Chanting what kind of power?"

"Sorcery."

"Wha--!?"

"Now, now, before you yell 'that's nonsense' just hear me out. I don't for sure, but 'magic' exists, and it can shape destiny itself with arcane rituals and unspeakable pacts forged with the malefic elements of the Aether. Some possesses some degree of psychic ability or powers. Psychic powers are sometimes referred to as "sorcery" when they are gained or enhanced through interaction and bargaining with the malevolent entities who exist within the hyperspace."

It was beyond unbelievable, not even Tomita whom telling the story, can't believe something like this could exist in his world.

"Wait, wha, what!?"

"Whoa what's going on!?"

However, they critical minds breaks when the cave began to shake, the entry disappeared, casted with darkness, Tomotaki continued chanting over the book.

"Wher..... Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

"Whoooooooaaaaa!!!!!"

Subsequently, a purple vortex appeared at the very end of the cave, along with a strong vacuum sucked everyone into the unknown.

...

"Where are we?"

Said one, the thought dinged everyone's mind, where are they?

When clearer vision, they saw dusty clouds hovering over them, look forward a gothic-style architectural massive hive. They are in a whole new world.

"Welcome to the outskirt of Caledonia."

Tomotaki claimed, enthusiastically.

"The Holy Aether permit our entry to it's realm. The City you looking forward is a massive arcology, or self-contained city, the home to hundreds or even thousands of Trinihism Mutant loyal to the crown and the resident of the Royal Mutants Society.

"WHAT THE FUCK!??!?"

Lords of Valhallal is a council of high-class Mutant Noble Lords that governs and oversees RMS's 'Realms' in the same extradimensional location throughout the globe, placed within Earth's major cities like TYZ's. Valhallal's Lords mostly contain 'Noble Mutant', a higher type of Mutant breed apart from the regular low life Mutants which they rule over their province in an oligarchic system. They are the finest that Mutant race has to offer – or so they would have others believe. Also, there are many Mutant Noble houses span the world in an intricate web of kinship, marriage and political alliances that ensure their power and influence go on, even if the fortunes of a single Realm fail.

A systematic Mutant Hierarchy that exists more than three hundred years. The Mutant Emperor at the top, six Mutant Nobles from Lords of Valhallal and their soldiers, called the Royalists. The systematic cult called Royal Mutants Society.

Although their hypocrisy and bureaucracy is on display, while the policies of Royal Mutants Society vary depending on the reigning Emperor, its succession is based on Social Darwinism rather than divine mandate as their name and a verse of the national anthem ("His [the emperor's] bloodline immortal and pure") would suggest. Consequently, much bloodshed and in-fighting occur between nobles of the Lords of Valhallal; one who wants to become the next monarch must lie, cheat, and murder their way to the top.
