Chapter 20 - He Is Stronger Then The 13 Heroes (1/4)

"... they didn't appear in my domain," I said with a frown seeing how I truly killed them. I killed them so good, that [Death's Almighty] skill didn't kick in and absorb them into my domain.

I narrowed my eyes, searching for their concept. Anos was able to see the source (Concept) of people, and even bring them back to life within 3 seconds without problems after they died with their source. Thanks to my skills, I could be able to bring them back to life within 10 seconds.

"Their concept still exists, just broken down to a level almost impossible to see," I said while having to use [Death's Almighty] to locate their concept. Their concept still exists, for their memory still exists. This was something I have always believed in, for one never truly dies so long as the world remembers them. Therefore, I believe the concept of a person is never truly erased so long as they are remembered... and I was right.

For with the state their concept was in, destorying them, even more, would have meant erasing the very memory the world held of them.

"Live!" My voice boomed, while I reached forward, grabbing the 13 broken concepts, and using my power of Death, I multiplied Death against each other, birthing life which I used to bring them all back to life.

The 13 were alive before me, even someone like Karie was brought back along with her gear... I sighed lightly at this and was feeling my MP which was at 1% right now. [Game Over] used up a lot of MP, and it used up even more MP using [Death's Almighty], [Instant Death], and multiplying them against each other to create life, in order to create a resurrection spell capable of overpowering [Game Over] Resurrection negation.

"W-were are alive." In the crater that was created after everything had died, the 13 members of the Black Scripture lay, too shocked for words. They looked at me, only to see me looking down upon them.

"T-thank you for freeing us." With the mind control they were under long gone, they bowed before me, both in fear of my power and in worship. After all, they have been worshipping the players for so long, without mind control, how could they not drop to their feet in worship to the player who freed them?

"Oh, I didn't save you all out of the kindness of my heart," I said evilly, the flames which took the place of my eyes burning brightly.

"I need a research subject, and you would all due perfectly," I said while killing them all with a spell. I closed my eyes, sensing how their knowledge and wisdom flew through my mind as they all entered my domain. This was a new skill I learned, why waste time speaking to them if I could just scan their minds to absorb their experience and make it my own?

'He was a demi-god?' I thought in interest, for the captain of this group had the blood of players flowing through him. I had to let Demiurge deal with him to see if that made him special. A few of them were also best suited to go with Demiurge, I'm sure he would have better stuff to do with them than me.

"Live," I said while turning around and walking off, bringing them back to life in the state they were in wasn't as taxing as before, so even with the current amount of MP I had, it was more than enough.

"The Captain, Karie, the one known as the strongest human, the assassin, the chain user, and the shield user. I leave them all to Demiurge to do as he wishes, the captain is the descendant of a player, so have him see if he can be useful." I said to Albedo who bowed with a deep loving smile.

"As for the rest, they would stay here. I will come here to train with them from time to time. So keep them in good condition... although do take the world item off the old hag, and have someone go to the Slane Theocracy. Have them know I demand answers for what happened today... to be safe have summon go there." I said to which Albedo nodded, happy to get orders.

 "I will leave everything to you, speak with Demiurge to ensure your plans go well," I said before going off to recover my lost MP. While doing so, my mind was filled with the countless paths ahead of me...

***

The Slane Theocracy exploded into chaos, the weather covering the capital completely changed, and dark clouds filled the air. From those dark clouds, thousands upon thousands of demonic things appeared. These things were black and had countless faces that seemed to be screaming in unending suffering.

"Foolish Weak ones! I come baring a message from the great one. Your foolish members of the Black Scripture dared to step foot in the home of the great one. They are all facing their due punishment, but as the owner of those dogs, the ultimate blame falls upon you." They said all at once, their voice uniting as one, which sent chills down all who heard.

At those words, the Cardinal's faces dropped. Cardinals are the highest appointment holders of the six sects that are devoted to the Six Gods. The position of a Cardinal is higher than that of a representative of governmental affairs. There were a total of 6 beings, all horrified by the news they heard.

"You have 3 days to arrive before the Great One, Failure to do so shall be met with the destruction of The Slane Theocracy!" With those words, from the heavens, a paper shot down, landing before one of the Cardinal feet. 

The Cardinal looked down and saw that the paper was a map, pointing towards where the location they were supposed to go was...

"That means they hold the treasures of the gods... what should we do?" A few minutes later, the Cardinals sat at a round table, horror filling their eyes as they tried to find the right move to make.

"We have no choice but to go, if the Black Scripture offended this being, and they were all taken out, we need to avoid making this being our enemy until we have more information." The head of the state, Pontifex Maximus said seriously.

"... should we ask for help from the dragons?" The Cardinal of Fire asked with an unsure look, and at those words, everyone paused before nodding slowly.

"Yes, tell the Platinum Dragon Lord that this great one might be a player. Since he is one of the strongest beings in this world... knowing him he would test their strength, have Antilene be on standby to get the treasures." Pontifex said lightly, unsure if they should let their trump card go on this mission.

Antilene Heran Fouche is someone equal to a level 80 player born with one of the most overpowered Talents in this world. Yes, they were unwilling to let her go and risk her death. But it would be meaningless if the enemy kept the world item, those world items were too good to stay in their hands.

"Inform the Dragon Empire that we can't help them against the beast man country, tell them to hold on until this matter is over with," Pontifex said gritting his teeth at how bad the timing was. They were supporting the Dragon Empire against their battle with the beast man, while at the same time, they had to fight the elves, and now they had to deal with something else...

"Momon, there is someone who came to see you." Back in E-Rantel, I was currently trying out the many drinks of this world. Some taste good, and some are disgusting. I found some that were as good as the drink in Nazarick and some that were not worth my time.

"Oh, who might it be?" I asked calmly, I had on my armor at the moment. I didn't like the many eyes I drew in my human form. I looked at Brita who had called for me, and my eyes landed on a group of all 5 females... I of course knew who they were. They were known as Blue Roses.

Blue Roses were the second adamantite adventurer group to have been founded within the Re-Estize Kingdom after Red Drop. The group is all-female and is thusly comprised of just women.
