CHAPTER 8

Andrew kept on following the lady infront of him till he arrived at what looked like a council. The room was filled with people with monstrous levels of power comprising of different races. The room was strangely lit given there was no visible source of light. What took Andrew's attention was the  five seats located at the middle of the room which were spaced from each other forming a half circular shape. The lady guided Andrew to the seat at the middle which appeared to be more lavished compared to the rest. Everyone looked at Andrew with mixed looks but the majority was displeased especially with those who were already seated. Andrew ignored the gazes and sat with a nonchalant look on his face.

It was then that he noted that the lady who guided him stood behind him and looking at the other seats it was the same with different people. 'Looks like they are servants .' The room suddenly went dark but Andrew could still see perfectly clear and Omniphinx emerged but he was much smaller,clearly a figment of his actual self. "Since all of you are here, we can actually begin. All of you have been assigned a task which is required to be  completed with each other's aid. And the human will be leading you." One of the members shot up. It seemed to be a man in his early thirties with a well built physique emitting a radiant glow with a halo around him. He had a stern face covered with a couple of scars evident that he chose his race to be an angel since his presence alone was screaming holy but two people weren't deterred by this with one of them being Andrew ," Not to question your choices but why are we being led by a human ?"

There was hostility written all over his face glaring at Andrew who seemed the oddball here. He was the only human with nothing special with him at glance while the rest were either an angel, a demon, one was a fairy and the last was a goddess. Omniphinx laughed,"Because he's human doesn't mean that he's weaker than you Adrial." Andrew looked over at Adrial and inquired ,"Why don't you find being under my leadership suitable for you? " Omniphinx snapping his fingers and appearing in an arena with the duo simply said ," Adrial, since you find being under Andrew's leadership  under meaning why don't the both of you  have a simple duel and if you win then you'll be in charge. And if you die, you'll just revive so don't focus too much on it." His fragment vanished and appeared above the arena, he clapped his hands signifying the start of the match and watched the match with keen interest to know what Andrew got from him. The other three members simply watched from the side enjoying the show.

"I simply can't imagine why he chose you but I'll change that." He created a sword from his divine aura pointing it at Andrew. Andrew simply watched Adrial come at him with full force but he wasn't worried only bored. Adrial watched his sword reach Andrew's neck with him still not moving from his original spot or making any movement but the sight of Andrew's head falling to the ground never came to be. He saw Andrew falling but the only thing that was falling was his head not Andrew. His body fell to the ground with a thud and Andrew looked at it before leaving. He heard a sound coming from his back to see Adrial all healed up and back on his feet. ''I refuse to lose to a human. They are the lowest,weakest and most pathetic creatures to ever exist. I am the supreme and no one is above me." Adrial made a surprise attack but Andrew instead of dodging it let his attack hit him in his heart. Adrial wore a smug on his face expecting to see Andrew in pain but all he saw was a devilish smile. He tried to pull back but Andrew was faster and he withdrew the sword from his chest and to Adrial's surprise,instead of a fountain of blood to gush out of Andrew,it was a small drop of blood.Andrew manipulated the drop and formed a gun like posture with his fingers making the blood the bullet at the tip of his fingers and fired it at Adrial.

Adrial tried to dodge it but it was futile as it seemed he was held in place by an unknown force and to his surprise, nothing happened. The injury on Andrew quickly healed and started walking away from Adrial who started screaming. Everyone was bamboozled by Adrial's sight as he started to revert and lose his golden glow becoming human. No matter how hard he tried it was clear that he was human and nothing could be done. Andrew looked back at him and joked ,"Isn't it great Adrial, you're now the lowest, weakest and most pathetic creature to ever exist." Omniphinx simply found this spectacle quite interesting and looked at Adrial ,"You lost." And he glanced at Andrew and asked ,''Since when could you do that ?" But he noticed that his eyes were not their usual green self but rather an ominous red colour before they went back to green. Andrew answered ,"Since now apparently." He snapped his fingers similar to Omniphinx and Adrial regained his powers back. "It won't be of much benefit of we were one person short. But if he crosses my path," pointing a sword similar to Adrial's at his neck ,"I will not hesitate to kill you."

Adrial couldn't believe that he lost to a human. He was a high tier angel who had a great reputation till the day of his death where he was betrayed by his closest confidants and Omniphinx gave him another chance to redeem himself and get his revenge on those who conspired against him. After that spectacle Omniphinx ,"I expect the work to be completed in due time and do not forget that I will be watching you." His fragment disappeared from it's spot and the group was left staring at each other with apprehensive stares. It was expected that this group was to work together to perform a task that went against the very heavens and order itself and to break this tension a woman who observed the fight stepped up.

She appeared to be the oldest of the bunch as she appeared in her late forties wearing a warm smile on her face adorned in rather grand clothes which appeared very ethereal and mystical looking at Andrew ,"Hello, you must be the centerpiece of the plan. My name is Ursula. You already know Adrial and over here we have Sybil." Pointing at a girl who was the youngest as she looked like she was ten years old. She had a lively atmosphere around her wearing a Loli dress playing with dolls which looked strangely lifelike. "There's Ivor." She pointed at a tall man who wore a huge black overall wearing blacked rimmed glasses. "Don't let his glasses fool you. He may be a scholar but when he takes them off, he's a monster.'' Ivor looked at Andrew with a scrutinizing gaze before looking elsewhere. "And if you don't mind me asking, who are you?" Andrew then realized that he had not introduced himself so he finally removed the chaotic aura surrounding him to reveal a seventeen year old teen with green eyes complemented with his lustrous black hair wearing a white hood and black pants and shoes. "How rude of me. You can address me as Aldritch."

After getting acquainted with his new accomplices, he asked ,"So do you have any idea of getting the task done cause I may have a few ideas." No one protested  much to his surprise,'Is that because I'm the leader or they really don't have a plan.' He proceeded to explain to them his plan and after a couple of hours he was done. The rest assessed the plan and after a while they couldn't find any flaw they proceeded with it. The plan entailed of forming an organization that would run anonymously and autonomously called the prime echelon. As for the exact plans, it depended on the efficiency of every single member.

They would proceed from the ninety ninth dimensional plane since they were the only ones there and make their descent to familiarize themselves with the different aspects and rules of each plane. Ursula,"Well since we're all aware of the plan, we can proceed with it." And looking at Aldritch ,"Who's gonna build the base for the prime echelon ?" Andrew with a small smile on his face simply stretched his hands and clapped them together and a colossal structure emerged from out of nowhere  (looking a lot like the court at Hague, Netherlands for a more accurate reference). Impressed with his work Ivor pointed out ,"I hope you don't plan on making us serving ourselves, right." Realizing something Andrew looking at Ursula ,"The ladies in the hall at the time were illusions." She simply laughed ,"Keen eye you've got,kid. I see why he chose you." Andrew then addressing Ivor ,"Well there are beings on the lower planes,aren't there." Ursula stretched out her arm and a rift emerged from thin air looking like a crack in space and before they stepped in Andrew started to materialize a smiling red and gold kabuki mask and put on his face. "Why are you putting on a mask. We've already seen your face." Inquired Sybil and Andrew underneath the mask ,"I don't like my face seen by a lot of people and only you four have seen it, nobody else."

Sybil found it weird but she didn't bother herself and through they went through the crack to emerge infront of what looked like hall which fell short to Andrew's. They all went in to see nine beings seated with a small audience constantly showering the nine with praises at but as expected they were a little nervous by the spectacle of the five as they couldn't sense any of them. What seemed to be the leader of this little meetup looked at the five but what surprised him was the human wearing a mask amongst them. She asked with a nervous expression on her face ,"If I wouldn't be bothering you,may I ask what would it be that you require ?" Andrew walked up and appeared infront of the man much to his surprise of Andrew's movement ,"Exactly how many of you are on this plane ,No.1?" The being addressed as No.1 just like the rest of the beings here present was a god amongst the rest but now he was being addressed as a number certainly was an insult to his ego but infront of true power,he could allow it. "Exactly eighty seven."

No.1 was skeptical of the human infront of him. It was known throughout all the hundred planes that humans were the lowest and weakest thus they occupied the lowest three dimensional planes but right infront of her was a human but looking at the other four beings she knew that the human infront of her wasn't normal. Andrew then spoke with a threatening tone in his voice ,"I want you to convene a meeting for all of them to be here in about an hour." An hour later every single being on this plane was lined up and Andrew looked back at his group and asked ,"You know what to do." Ivor didn't hesitate and chose two males who appeared to be brothers their race being that of vampires. Sybil chose a child who was constituted of an angel and a demon and a female who appeared rather timid who appeared to be a fairy. And as for Ursula and Adrial,they simply chose the strongest ones present who were all females for some reason and Andrew, he chose the he addressed as number one and another a male who had an experienced aura around him.

My bad I forgot to go into detail with his chosen abilities.

1: Fanfiction=It enables Andrew to erase or change any aspect of reality. He can also imagine how you died and you will die the way he imagined it.He can also deprived someone else of their abilities no matter the rank given Adrial as an example using his blood.

2: Overwrite=It allows Andrew to include whatever he imagines into the real world. With a thought he can also give himself any ability he wishes and he uses this skill to manifest his weapons.

3: Devouring=It enables Andrew to take other people's abilities with or without their consent. It can also be used on a large scale of attack.

(*I wasn't going to sugarcoat it but you can realize how broken these abilities*)
