23 Chapter 23: Gathering the ammunition of war
Hello again guys :D
This is the famous preChapter talk :) I just felt you would be sad and disappointed without this.
First of all some talked about how I said Odin was so powerful and he can easily conquer earth. Well, maybe if he tried he could. But earth has many hidden beings settled there. And it has different kinds of protectors. Well, maybe not that much in MCU, but in the stew kind of world that I created, it has.
I mean there are many gods on earth. Olympians will be there (But they'll be trash, by trash I mean still stronger than current Michael).
Second thing is that I've finally created my pat-reon account! :D Hooray!
I've never considered writing as a way to make money, and I didn't take it seriously. I don't know if there'll be people who are willing to read my other stories, but if there are some, and they help me a bit financially, I'll promise to see this as a job.
https://www.pat-reon.com/SupremeMagus (Of course without the – in the middle)
I now have four stories on this website. Aside from this I posted one chapter for "God of Jobs" and one for "Darklord Gamer" and two for "Smurf in Marvel+HP". I don't know how much time I can spend on them.
Also I've been rewriting my old story "Lords of earth" in English which I haven't posted on this site yet, but I will. I think that story is the one I'll upload on my pat-reon. I hope you guys help me write.
Sorry for ranting. Now the chapter:
----------------------------------
Chapter 23: Gathering the ammunition of war
How do you prepare for a war against hell? I mean not all those inner demon bullshits that weak people have. Real hell! With near infinite demons with powers and all the Christian fairy tale crap?
Pray to god? Well, he sold that hell to me and said I had to take care of it.
Wash yourself in holy water and eat salt so they can't touch you? Well, don't tell anyone, but I tried, and it made me have acid reflux for a couple of days. There were times that I forgot my demonic heritage.
I needed a plan to war. I needed the ability to turn the table and win a battle with hell. So I learned from the best of the best. Sun Tzu.
I read his Art of War and in the beginning he mentioned 5 things as ways to control the battlefield and gaining a victory.
(1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth; (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
I had all. I had the moral and discipline and command, because my soldiers were people who sold their souls to me and were under my complete control. They would follow any command I give them so I have the Moral Law.
I also have The Commander, who is wiser and a better strategist than a god of Mind, Magic and Knowledge? (I dare you to say god of strategy. I'll remove the story. :D don't ruin his showing off time) I read hundreds of books on different strategies and gained related skills on my system. So this one is also checked.
I also gained a level on my God of Mind divinity by absorbing the 2 artifacts Chuck sent me, these two gave me 3 sparks of divinity. By leveling up my God of Mind divinity I gained and ability called [Divine Mind].
[Magic Ability – School of Godly Magic - Divine Mind /Level Max/ (Passive)
You gained the unique ability to control minds and improve yourself in the art as a god who governs minds.
Processing Power +300%
All Mind arts effect +500%
Able to create 10 virtual minds. (Current 1/10) {Can create 1 every 100 INT}]
Virtual minds were something like linked supercomputers to my brain. When I got the power, I gained the knowledge to create them. And when I connected that mind to myself, I gained +15 INT and +15 WIS. I used my first virtual mind as a watcher. It created a mental link to every soldier I had and would use its processing power to control all the units and see everything that is within my detection range.
So discipline was also achieved under my control.
Heaven and Earth were controlling the environment but that was the trickiest part. I was going to fight them in their turf. In hell, they'd probably have some buffs or something.
I talked to Odin again so I could borrow the Casket of Ancient Winters. He rejected on handing it over to me for a while even though I gave him goblin swords and dragons.
I had to kidnap 50 goblins and bring them in my realm so I could control their minds for them to make me weapons. Everything was almost a waste.
But he said if a fight happens, he would send a group of gods and they'll use the casket, and protect it from any harm. So that part was good.
I was hoping to have it for a while. Pity.
So Sun Tzu's art of war was achieved by these. But I added 3 parts to his theory of how to achieve a victory: 1.Weapons 2. Personal Power of Soldiers 3. Gauging enemy's power.
My weapon was my magic. So I spend 10 days studying Wizarding potions, rituals and dark spells. And for someone like me, who is the God of Mind, Magic and Knowledge, that's a long, long time to spend on some magical subjects.
During this time I created a new branch of dark arts. I did what Salazar Slytherin accomplished after 60 years of studying dark arts in 3 days.
But I had a lot of help and had Salazar's notes on creating his special branch of dark arts.
Mine was like this:
[Magic Ability – School of Wizardry – Dark Arts {Grin Style} /Level Max/
Also known as the art of the lich. This kind of magic is dark arts with the core of Frost and Destruction. It was created by a god of magic and anyone who uses this art will feel a connection to that certain god.
As the creator you'll have the Max level of this branch of magic.
+200% effect
- 50% mana consumption
New Spells creation +200% chance
Note: As the creator and the god of magic, you'll gain +5% magic effect for each person who uses this type of magic. Current users (2) / Effect (+10%)]
I taught this branch to Tom and he created the Frost Fiend spell, which was a counterpart to FiendFyre.
I planned on sending the knowledge of this to my minions that I control and let them throw as many Frost Fiends they can when they get to Hell.
I also had to improve their powers so I finally got my mastery on potions by creating 3 different potions, which could be used to increase physical power and give some minor permanent boosts. After that I got my mastery of rituals. I created a new ritual called [Ritual of Morning Ice].
The ritual gave immunity toward cold for 1 month. Also it gave some light attributes to the user and dissipated some dark attacks!
My weapons and warriors were ready. But was I ready?
Yes I did finish the quest on finding the 3 relics of Christian God and got the rewards.
[Mission Completed!: O prophet, I am the one above all!
Find three relics of Christian God to gain a chance to get a chance to ignite one of his divinities.
Rewards: 5% Chance of igniting Creation divinity / 5% Chance of igniting Fate divinity / 5% Chance of igniting Light divinity / +10 Luck / Divine Artificer Skill]
[Ignition of Creation divinity …]
[Failed]
[Ignition of Fate divinity …]
[Failed]
[Ignition of Light divinity …]
[Failed]
[You gained +10 Luck, [Divine Artificer Ability]]
'I need to increase my luck for this. It always fails!'
I wanted to create a weapon for myself with that, but it needed at least 5 sparks of divinity which I didn't have!
The key to make Hell surrender was to make myself and even more powerful Demon. What did I need to for that? Get more souls! Where?
Well I had couple of options.
First one was in wars. The WWII was still going on and even though I was asked by Ancient One not to kill and interfere with the war, I still could watch and reap the souls.
The second one, which was a more dangerous one, was to infiltrate hell and steal their souls. They had billions of souls there. I could at least become a Prince of Hell. But it was enemy territory and dangerous.
I still had a year until Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald (or maybe the changes I made rewrote the story), and a year and half until Red Skull is defeated by Captain America.
I could use the dead soldiers souls until then and if it wasn't still enough, I would steal some from Hell.
Everything was planned. I sat behind my desk at a store at Diagon Alley.
"What do you think Tom?"
Tom riddle, who was now known as Tom Slytherin was sitting in front of me. He went all Slytherin on his robes with green and silver combinations.
"What about enemy's power level? We don't know anything about that.
I looked at the stack of paper that I got from Chuck. It explained a lot about demons but it wasn't enough.
"We are going to find Demons Tablet. That is going to be our trump card. If it has as much knowledge as I think it does, we are going to win the war."
"Do you know how you are going to find it?"
"Don't worry. Just prepare the wizard army. How's the progress in the business and politics? Are those old farts giving you any troubles?"
Tom laughed and said: "Yeah but it's fine. If we play our cards right I can become the minister for magic in 10 years. But we need to increase our members in the Wizengamot. If I represent Slytherin and dark, I can gather all dark families. But we need some light sided allies to change the balance. Also I've been planning to take over the Aurors' Office. I need to present myself as a hero. The groundwork for that is prepared."
I answered. "Be patient. Things are going at the right pace. I am creating some light based branches of battle magic. I want you to use them. It helps to increase your influence."
He nodded and got up to leave.
I added. "By the way, I'm leaving for France today. I'm going to meet Nicolas Flamel and the for the meeting with Beauxbatons."
"You want to learn Alchemy?"
"Yes. Weaponization of Holy water reached a dead end. I don't think potions are the answer. Maybe it's hidden there. I'll be back soon. If you need my help you know where to find Clone #1. Maybe if I'm lucky I even can get him to join our cause."
He left me and I went to the ministry and from there to I used a portkey to France Ministry.
I talked to some people there about the whereabouts of Flamels. They said I should give them my address and they'll owl flamels about me and if he want to meet, he'll contact me on that address.
I accepted and gave the address of a famous hotel I knew in a French magical village. I got to that hotel and got a room and told the manager of that hotel about receiving a guest or a letter.
I had another thing I had to do in France. Beauxbatons Academy of Magic! After spending a lot of money and connections, I finally pressured their headmistress with a lot of money so she let me interview to be their librarian. It was important to me. I mastered what Hogwarts could offer me but there was a lot more to the wizarding magic. And Beauxbatons was famous for their Transfiguration arts and for teaching elementary alchemy.
I needed the Transfigurations and Alchemy to get myself some anti-demon weapons.
I used the coordination that they gave me by a letter and demonic apparated there.
Their castle looked pitiful compared to Hogwarts, but it was cozier. It would be better described as an old university. I walked toward the front door and it opened before I knock.
'You think I'm a muggle that you want to impress?'
An old woman opened the door and looked at me like I was a rapist. She started talking with fluent English.
"Hello Mr. Green. My name is madam Varon, I'm the protector of this school. I'll take you to madam Maxime."
I nodded and followed. It didn't take long to reach her office. If it was Hogwarts we would at least walk for 30 minutes from front doors to the headmaster's office.
We got inside the room and Madam Maxim was behind a giant desk. She was writing a letter with a quill pen. A feather which was so big I was pretty sure it was of a Hippogriff.
"Please sit down Mr. Green."
I sat down and even though she tried to insult me by not looking at me and kept writing her letter, I wasn't insulted. I just waited.
Finally she finished and looked up.
"I am quiet insulted to be honest with you Mr. Green."
"Insulted? Why is that Madam Maxime?"
"I don't like to be pressured into doing things. And you, with a scary amount of connections, pressured me to make you a librarian. What I want to know is that how come someone I never heard of can force half of our board to send me a letter to make you the librarian. Also six high ranking officials and some giant business owners talked to me and threatened me. Who are you Mr. Green?"
I laughed inside 'It seems Tom went overboard with my request.'
"I'm not an important person Madam. I just know a good friend and I didn't want to make a trouble for you. I just want to be a librarian."
Madam Maxime looked at me with deadly eyes and said:
"If you don't want to make trouble for us, then choose another school of magic. We don't like to be pressured into doing things, no matter how much money you offered. I asked you to come here to clear things up in person."
The temperature dropped and I said coldly:
"Is that your final answer Madam Maxim?"
She was a bit scared because of the amount of cold energy I was emitting and tried to look strong and said:
"All teachers agreed to keep their dignity and not to double their pay. It's final Mr. Green."
I got up and looked at Maxime. "I don't like any kind of fights. I was polite and generous. Remember that it was you who decided to step on my generosity."
I got out the castle and took out a small mirror I had and said: "Tom" He appeared in a second.
"What happened? She rejected you?"
I smiled and said. "Yeah. Use everything to ruin her job. I want to be the next headmaster of Beauxbatons."
I disconnected and went back to my hotel, waiting for Flamel.
I sat on a desk in that room and studied books of Kamar-Taj on dimensional laws. A knock on the door broke my focus.
"What?"
"Mr. Flamel is waiting for you in the lobby sir."
I got up and went to the lobby. Flamel, the old bag of bones, was sitting there like a zombie.
"Ah, Mr. Green, the next headmaster of Beauxbatons, it's good to see you!"
I smiled at his try to surprise me and sat in front of him and said.
"It's good to see a living legend like you Mr. Flamel. How about we help each other. Let's make some deals."
