That and That

It was predicted that within a few decades or not, if a few centuries, Spirit Empire would crumble apart due to the infighting.

Right now, the position of the Emperor was partially abolished because since Bibi Dong ascended to Godhood, there was nobody suitable, and since the Gods decided to rework the fundamentals of the Douluo World...

There was essentially no head of state, only a council made from the highest-ranking people of the Spirit Empire, including some Elders of the Spirit Hall who were already working on the orders of the Gods of Douluo to start hoarding resources and military power in secret, which was pretty much rather easy job.

Since the Spirit Hall was the central pillar of the Empire, it wasn't that hard; their influence on the original Planet Douluo was tremendous but in colonies...

It was shit because the colonies were mainly created by the people who wanted to leave the Douluo Planet.

MC POV

And as the days continued to pass, soon enough, it was several years since the time I ascended to the Half-Step Tier 13 and created Kadath Universe.

Nothing much has changed, though, in the Baator, only that everyone realized that they were part of the new Uniueverse, but Baatorains were just doing their own thing... nothing else.

Because the worlds in the Kadath Universe were still in their infant stage, so there were not many places that could be explored, so most of them were confined to the premises of the Baator.

Naturally, most of them used this opportunity of a few centuries to structuralize the forces of the Chthonian Empire of the Baator and also gather some strength.

After a century or so, the Kadath Universe would be possible to connect to other Universe, and thus, the Baatorians would be able to explore the Worlds in the Endless Void.

When the Kadath Universe was established and Baator stabilized, Sirzechs decided to abdicate and pass his position of Emperor to his son Abrasax.

Fortunately, Abrasax was much more dedicated to his duties than Sirtzechs ever was because, contrary to Sirzechs, who needed to be forced to do his job several times, Abrasax didn't and he dutifully did every piece of paperwork and other things.

It was time to call the meeting of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden.

I gave it a few years of time for everyone to adjust to their new situation as I took out two Tarot Cards, the Fool and the Devil and instantly, I teleported to the Sefirah Castle.

When I arrived at the Sefirah Castle, I started binding myself to Sefirah Castle, which existed on the boundary between real and unreal; it was truly a special kind of thing even across the entirety of the Endless Void.

As I bounded myself to the Sefirah Castle, I found my power exponentially increasing, but unfortunately, it was not enough for me to reach Tier 13.

But at least I had another Sefirot Artifact under my control, as those things were precious... a unique category across the Endless Void.

I strode through the halls of the Sefirah Castle and observed the beauty of this place until I arrived at the meeting hall of the members of Longinus Dreizhen Orden.

For some time, I was looking around the white marble pillars and huge white marble table, but after several minutes, I sat down on a chair at the end of the table, which long belonged to Mercurius.

Soon enough, I sent a signal to the other members of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden across the Endless Void, summoning them to the Sefirah Castle for the meeting. I waited there a few hours while I was reading some Magic Grimoire when the first person arrived.

The first person to arrive was naturally Bibi Dong because she was the person who had nothing to do since she ascended to Godhood in the Douluo World.

And even though she didn't have much to do, but in the end, it also took her several hours to arrive...

Which was... infuriating.

The next person who arrived was Okhwang and Weissmann, both of them looked pretty much tired from all of the work.

Apparently, Okhwang had taken over the position of the patriarch of the Jade Clan and Weissmann had a lot of work to do.

Especially Weissmann, who, since arriving at the new Universe, needed to do a lot of things for the Dresden Arcanum Empire to acclimatize properly.

Soon enough, the last people of the arrived, which were Queen Cohinem and Enryuu.

"All of us are here?"

I asked when I saw that nobody was missing as we started the meeting of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden.

"Then, seeing that attendance is full and complete, let me announce the first piece of news. As you already know, Mercurius is already dead and because I was the one who killed him, I am assuming the mantle of the leader of the organization."

When I said that nobody said anything, as silence penetrated the meeting room, everybody accepted it as truth because I killed Mercurius and was the strongest person in the room...

Maybe sans Okhwang because his capabilities were pretty much unknown as I only knew of the abilities of his Avatar, not his True Body, which never left the Ancient Dao Universe.

"Now we have this thing done; I propose to return the Orden to the original purpose aside from spreading Mercurius's agenda in becoming a Tier 13 entity..."

I stated, seeing several people agree with my statement.

While Mercurius was saying that the purpose of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden was to help its members to grow in power by interacting with people from other Universe across the Endless Void, in reality, its purpose was more like gathering energy and stealing Fate through the Tarot to further his advance.

It was a good and solid plan, though, but not many would have noticed the side effects and hidden purposes of the Tarot...

From the entire Orden only I noticed it, but I was sure that Weissmann had some suspicion and Okhwang never trusted Observer fully.

The cultivator was just using him to obtain samples of Cultivation Systems from other Universes.
