6 gathering

Dubai 02-06-2019

20 people were standing close to each other on the wide roof of the Burj Khalifa the tallest building in the world. It was a night that seemed like all others but right now they would decide the fate of humanity.

'Where are the seven sins?' asked a man with a heavy voice. He has white hair and multiple visible scars on his face. His nose is crooked and it seemed like his nose was broken many times before. He looked in his late sixties and had a tortilla coloured cane in his hand.

No one answered. It seemed like everyone was waiting for someone else to answer it but no one made a sound.

'Let's start I don't have all day,' said the old man. Again no one answered.

'We will begin the first step of testing mankind this month. We all came here because we don't know if they earn to live in this world anymore. Gaia is dying. The gods have stopped protecting humanity. The dryads are done with them. They chop down thousands of trees every hour and are hunting for sport not for survival. Bombs that can destroy countries. Making the same kind work their whole life for some pieces of paper that has some kind of worth in their eyes.'His heavy bitter as if he had lost all hope in them. Everyone nodded at him seeming to understand exactly what he meant and patiently listened to him talking.

'The only thing standing in our way are the witches, the cultivators, Cain and the four protectors of humanity. Each one of us tried to show humanity the right way one time just to see them making the same mistakes again. They haven't been worthy since a long time ago with only a couple of exceptions. Millions will die the first attack. We are exterminating the trash from the world starting with the Z rank monster until there are only 500 humans left. The few left will not disrespect this planet anymore and we will make sure they won't grow to big again by ''visiting'' once in a while.'

'The witches will share their spells with them and the cultivators their techniques. Shall we allow that in our ''war''.

He heard some chuckles from the crowd when he said war. They all knew that they had a small chance of losing. If the witches and cultivators decided to attack them right now they would surely lose without the help of an protector.

The four protectors are also known as the four princes of hell. Astaroth, Maggot, Asmodee and Beelzebub. The king lucifer was long gone and if one decided to attack the other he would be weakened enough to be killed by another prince. That is why they made a peace treaty with each other. They were scared of each other, but there is also another reason They are strengthened a lot since most human souls end up in hell. The past 130 years the sinners have begun with rising more than ever before. They are just like a few hungry children at a candy shop that has a billion different sweets. They were never going to give it up so if something decided to bring humanity in danger they would work together to destroy it. They had done it a couple of times before. They killed Dracula, a dragon army and many others.

They were as strong as about two of the sins. The sins also got strengthened because of all the sins humans made but they felt different towards humanity. One group wants to enjoy that strength forever while the other one wants to take everything back to the beginning. Stopping the bad ending this world is meant for. The reason they didn't fight with each other was that the sins didn't trust one another. Sins could absorb another sin. They all used to be the same thing but split apart into what they are right now. That's why they can take another sin into their own body. They usually stayed as far as possible from one another.

'Let us allow it' The person who said that had black clothes that didn't show even the slightest bit of skin, a mask with a hoodie covering the hair. The black mask has a golden trident symbol on it. Multiple layers of clothing made us only guess what gender the person was because the voice was neutral.

We are testing them if we don't give them any chance the only thing left will be trash.' Some nodded at her words while others seemed disgusted by it.

' We need to give them a chance. We also must make sure the witches and cultivators don't kill all of the monsters. Let's make a deal with them. They have around 200 people who can fight Most of them are around E- rank while their elders are around the C+ rank but they have only 37 of them. So 237 people. Let them make safezones of at least 1 kilometer and safe zones need to be at least 10 kilometers away from each other. They can protect the humans in it for half a year.

Are you crazy? Let's kill that person. Yeah lets all attack when i count to three.

Stop!!! The old man voice was making some of clenched their ears with only the sheer force of power his voice. The old man that just yelled was a B- rank while the other were C+. The ones that clenched their ears were probably mages because anybody that had trained their body with a technique here would not even twitch from this.

' That person has a fair point. We are watchers of this trial and not the ones who will decide who to kill. We do this and message the witches and the cultivators about these conditions. Knowing them, they will surely decide that it is a great deal for them and their actions. I will take care of everything atomic weapon and other dangerous weapons in this world this month. That will be all for today. If I hear that any of you killed one another you will be dead before you the sunset of the next day.
