Zeref told them everything about the cult of Surkoth and it's history from Vahn's memories, Glory of Demon Surkoth and everything about Zethyr and his demonic apostles.
Surkoth, was a demon lord, who not only revived hell from existence which took atleast thousands of years, but he also made his own cult into existence.
Surkoth was one day, killed by an otherworlder saint named Zethyr, whom had been famous for being a power hungry lunatic. He found promise in Surkoth's strength, so he absorbed all of his powers in order to his own Godhood. That's how Zethyr became a demonlord, after the bloody massacre of Erium state during Y800, which remains abandoned to this day. Ruins of Erium is filled with undead armies. it's claimed that Zethyr lives in such plains, but it's also a rumor at the same time.
Ruthor is another obstacle in Jehovich empire, because not only does he wants power, he would kill Zethyr only to take his powers to rule over Jehovich and prolly all other contitents.
After hearing everything about the cult and the situation, it's 2 hours past midnight, Gen, Albert and Arthur became frustrated yet they had to come up with a solution. Meanwhile, Arthur Jr evesdropped as he was shocked about the predicament.
"I never thought the situation was this serious" he asked to himself.
[you have to be strong now]
Reish getting used to game setup.
"Alright fine" he says, dismayed as he heads up to roof top and takes a key, a new dungeon appears, as Arthur Jr enters the door, meanwhile back in room.
"I don't think we can just solve this by merely attacking them, we need to cut their roots one by one, not even their souls should be left untouched" Claimed Albert, since the situation was much dangerous than he expected.
"If Zeref hadn't t said this here, we would have lost our lives to some unknown otherworlder" he said knowing how pointless the situation is.
"Agreed, we need to plan carefully this time, or we may end up being their puppets instead" Arthur was cautiously thinking about the possibilities, to cut their heads properly.
Zeref witnessed how they have immersed themselves in thinking about a strategy. And so he did the same.
"Firstly we can to clean up the ones in our empire, that should be our main priority. Anything inside Jehovich are just a second priority. We gotta find traitors or people who have disguised as someone else, within our neighborhood" Zeref stated, as he sighed thinking about the upcoming problems, it made him get stressed more.
[caution; Bloodlust detected]
"What?" Zeref was suprised.
As he looked out of the window, as he saw Ruthor.
"Dad!" Zeref screamed in worry.
"I know son, we have sensed another expert, everyone prepare yourselves" Arthur said.
"Fuck, why is he here" Zeref was panicking but he has no choice but to fight.
"Why do I sense her presence here, did she get the mark or did she reject it so she could be a child again, something's off, it doesn't make sense" Ruthor thought about it, since he felt that something was off. He badly wanted to kill her regardless of what she was going to do.
"Why is he here" Jeane sense Ruthor as she panicked. because she never stood a chance against him.
"Don't worry, Zeref can handle it" Yuko assured but.
"You don't have any idea how strong that bastard is, it's the end, he will kill us all" She said, as she kept wimpering in fear.
Meanwhile out of nowhere, Ruthor appeared inside their Room, he was surprised to find a kid possessing her power. which made him grin like a devil.
"Interesting" he said. as he grinned even wider.
"Ruthor? you" said Zeref, as he knew her from Jean's memories.
"yes?" but when he was about to use his hands to stab him.
"What?" Ruthor was surprised to see Arthur caching it effortlessly. but before he could even react, Arthur slams him as he flies away for 100 meters within a second.
"The fuck happened?" astonished Ruthor had no idea why there was someone stronger than him. infact, Arthur wasn't weak at all, being an official 10th tier aura user was enough to destroy entire continents. his name was feared among many others.
"hey, I'm sorry that my dad punched you off" said Zeref while feeling satisfied. Ruthor grabbed his neck without warning as he threatened to kill Zeref with his bare hands.
"If anyone moves one muscle, he dies" Ruthor screamed as he would snap his neck, but something was off, they didn't do anything.

"This is really amazing, I never thought i'd have a cheat system like this, whoever that is, I'm so thankful for this" Zeref said, as he woke up others.
"*yawns* Good morning" said Yuko.
"what's up with this guy, does he have a screw loose for talking to himself?" Freya said, obviously being annoyed by Zeref screaming with excitement.
"I don't know, I just woke up" said Yuko, not being bothered by it.

"What's this? I could feel everything, why is it so vivid right now, this world itself" Zeref senses have expanded beyond this world, even surpassed any Grand sages or an ascended sorcerers.
"Jesus what the fuck is up with these stats, it's way too broken for my level" Zeref was surprised to find his stats being overpowered, then he looks up Ruthor's stats.

"His power is too broken as well, but this is my chance now, I should easily kill this guy, let's make this quick" Zeref confidently approached him.
Arthur couldn't sense anything from Zeref anymore, but he was still alive in which he wondered what had happened to him. Meanwhile Ruthor couldn't snap his neck even when he tried all his might to crush and absorb him, nothing worked, As Zeref disappeared within his sight. only to find himself getting amputated.
"AAARRRG" Ruthor screamed as he started bleeding profusely, he couldn't even heal with his powers. meanwhile on other's point of view, Ruthor and Zeref simply vanished from the place, as if there wasn't any traces left behind.
"What is happening, this doesn't even make sense" Albert was confused as to how both of them disappeared when there's no signs of aura or mana being used. Even for nether arts, it's mana can be sensed.
"I just have no clue what had just happened" Arthur started scratching his head. since he was about to protect Zeref. Suddenly a dismembered arm of Ruthor guy reappeared on sight, which Surprised Arthur.
Meanwhile Zeref brutally tormented Ruthor into oblivion.
"YOU'RE NOT EVEN TIER 7, HOW ARE U ABLE TAKE ME DOWN" Ruthor was in fact astonished, since his attacks meant nothing to him, simply using martial arts never worked on Zeref.
"Unfortunately, dead man have no words" Zeref instantly cuts his head, as Ruthor eventually dies.
"What the fuck, am I dreaming or something" Jeane was surprised to witness him beheading Ruthor effortlessly.
"I don't understand how he can pull this off, maybe it's all thanks to Yeingard's blessings" said Yuko. but she felt suspicious about his growth in power.
"I don't know what happened, but this is nice" said Zeref, as system notification pops up.
[ you have killed the top one saint Ruthor, you'll earn following skills]
[superior adaptation- there's no environment which you cannot survive]
[Flesh Creatiokinesis: you can create biological livin' beings with your own blood now, and manipulate them to ur will]
"Finally something I truely needed" Zeref was truely grateful for the system.
From Arthur's PoV, a body without head arms and legs, slammed into the ground which had the clothes of Ruthor, while Zeref appeared through the bushes, with blood stained clothes. Ruthor was killed easily by Zeref, eventhough Arthur could beat Ruthor, he could never kill him with all his might. even his cells would survive enough to comeback to life. but that power ceased to exist as he was killed permanently.
Arthur was shocked to see his son, murdering him without a slightest effort, he also felt suspicious but he didn't believe it was Dein's power either. it was something much more.
" impossible" he said, reading the mana and even aura around the area, Zeref had much thinner mana than Ruthor and yet he was able to which didn't made sense, even nether arts have a particular mana and aura, Zeref stood there as his eyes were shallow.
"Something's odd, how is Zeref able to do that? even he wouldn't keep up with this" said Albert.
"I wonder, perhaps it's a genius, or just I don't know, a mutant or a monster would be a better word" said Gen, visibly confused about the situation. as he was sweating on how strong Zeref was.
"I feel... tired.." Zeref came back to his consciousness fainted but then he fainted as Yeingard's blessings stopped. Arthur caught carries him to their room. As he fixed the room with time reversal skill.
"This little guy, he's will gobble up this world" joked Albert, as he knew something was up with him.
"I don't how he did that, but now I owe my life to this kid" Gen said.
"I understand, Ruthor was a monster who plagued our empire, even the main guy behind the spies, but this ain't it, if one head gets cut down, two more shall arise" Albert said, as he was certain that Ruthor's death may become news among the cult.
"This would cause an uproar in Jehovich, or they'd even proclaim war" Arthur felt clueless as to how he could turn out the situation.
Meanwhile inside Zeref's dream, he met the strange lady again who had told her name before, but he couldn't decipher it or he wasn't strong enough to comprehend.
"Why...why" Jordan was panicking as he watched her. Eventhough her normal height was 6ft tall. he couldn't help but feel shaken by her presence.
"oo you poor thing" she said, as he held him in her arms. It was sudden because he couldn't even notice how she hugged him from afar, it's as if she teleported next to him, as she embraced him on her chest, he couldn't move away from her, it's as if he was a puppet to her fingertips.
"so warm.." thought Jordan, which reminded him of his mother and sister. Although it's awkward how his head was submerged in her breasts.
"who are you" he asked again, once more as he couldn't know her.
"you don't even know my name yet?" she said, tilting her eyebrows.
"I couldn't hear it, it was cryptic and creepy to listen to, so I woke up without knowing your name" he said.
"My bad, I was right, you weren't strong enough to know my name, let alone even remember it, it's still the same situation by now" the lady said, as she gently stroked his head.
"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, you can call me Vivian for now" she said.
"Alright Vivian" he said without even minding that she kept stroking him slowly.
"I have a question" he said, but she was silent for a minute.
"Ask away" She said.
"Are you the one that gave me the system" he said, curious about it.
"You'll find out soon enough" said Vivian, as she kisses him on his forehead, a huge light seems to erupt from it as it kept shining brighter. He opens his eyes only to find himself at his own room.
"ahh" he said, then he checked if any of his people inside were awake. They were all sleeping comfortably while constantly absorbing Zeref's life force as well as the opposite, more so a symbiotic form of absorbing and reproducing each others life energy.
"Now, Let's talk" a familiar voice whispered.
"alright, so can you tell me something, on how I ended up here" he asked.
"Before I answer that question, I'll tell you about myself first, it's a long story, so brace yourself" said Vivian.
"okay" Zeref nodded, as he prepares himself.
"Around 6 Billion years ago, in a distant planetary system, a planet called Lybera, a new civilization came into existence, a race of humanoid reptilian race that looked so much similar to humans here. Ofcourse they didn't have huge tail either as you would have thought, they evolved from Wyverns that breathed fire, ofcourse dragons were a thing there and eventually some crossbreeds happened here and there, which is how Hibirian race came into existence after several centuries."
"Hibirians gone through our trials and tribulations, multiple sacrifices were made, and so, our race evolved further in strength as our influence grew beyond a galaxies. Adapting to walk on stars, crushing planets with no effort, Hibirians were feared throughout the whole cluster. One day God's descent on our planet, offering us a place to stay, it was the time when our civilization was in a brink of existence, i.e our population plummeted from 100 billion to 10 billion in decades. since many went missing as they went beyond the star cluster in search of other habitats. And so we had no other choice but accept than rotting here" explained Vivian, as Zeref listened to her with great interest.
