Chapter 46: Alliance with the Primordial Beings

"It seems like everyone is here"

Lucias announced as he sat down on the large and luxurious seat in the round table of the ruby palace.

"Why did you call us, Lucias-sama?"

Anubis asked, wondering why he suddenly called for all of the higher ups of the faction to uphold a meeting.

"Let me first ask... how many members are currently in this dimension"

Lucias suddenly asked as he gazed at Sephie who was reading the report with a serious expression her face.

"Only 40% of our total numbers remained in this dimension, the rest are sent to find and scout the other dimensions to prevent that woman from recruiting more allies"

She reported causing Lucias to sigh with a grave expression on his face.

"Then we have no choice but to work with the number of soldiers we have now... Nia, tell them the current situation of this dimension"

Lucias ordered while tapping his fingers on the table, trying to think of a way to avoid unnecessary sacrifices just to get rid of their invaders.

"Situation?"

"Yes, it seems like Xaosis has begun to move, and... she brought the Gastreas that we fought before inside of our dimension"

Nia reported causing all of the members inside the meeting to frown from hearing the name of the species that they fought in the past.

"Gastreas? That dimension is already closed off, how can she bring those disgusting insects inside our dimension"

"... We didn't "fully" sealed it off and a small rift remained to where we opened it... She took advantage of that and expanded that rift, bringing the Gastreas under her control"

Nia explained with a grave expression on her face.

"We have already fought and overwhelmed them in the past, we can easily surpress them if they invade this dimension" (Lucifer)

"That is what we thought as well, but... it isn't as easy as it was before"

Lucias explained before snapping his finger, causing a large stack of papers to appear in front of all of the members present inside the room.

"They have been modified by that woman, right now a single Stage I gastrea is as strong as mid-class devil, and the Stage V are now as strong as the Original devils"

Lucias explained while watching them flip through the large stack of papers in front of them, especially Azazel who was reading each page with a bright expression on her face from the amount of new and interesting information in front of her.

"They're regeneration ability has been maginified by seven fold, and most of the insect type's exoskeleton is as strong as mythril, so bombarding them with low tier spell will only make them stronger"

Lucias said causing most of the members to narrow their eyes, fully knowing the consequences of letting such monsters wander their dimension.

"Physical Attacks work on them surprisingly, since those holy sword wielders were able to kill one before"

"Holy sword wielders? You mean the two girls sent by the church?"

Sephie asked causing Lucias to nod his head in response.

"I have already tested their strength before and they're not that bad for a normal human"

Lucias said with a large grin on his face causing Asia to sigh from remembering his actions from before.

"Lucias-sama... what should we do?"

Okien asked causing Lucias to rub his chin as he contemplated on their next actions.

"Riku... how's the negotiations with the Carmilla Faction going along?"

"... It's bad... They're too afraid to negotiate with us, so they reject all of our proposals in forming an alliance with them"

Riku reported before glancing at Kurumi who was sweetly smiling at the corner of the room.

"Ara Ara~ Should I convince them again, Lucias?"

"Don't... you'll just scare them even more, just let it be since I'm pretty sure that by next week, they'll definitely accept our proposals"

Lucias rejected as a mischievous grin formed on his face, causing Riku to shiver from the familiar expression that he always show when his planning something reckless.

"... Don't tell me..." (Riku)

He uttered as a sudden realization struck him.

"Correct, the place with the greatest density of Gastreas is Romania, the territory of the Carmilla Faction"

"You're planning on making them desperate for survival to the point that they'll form an alliance with us... that's just like you"

Riku said as a similar mischievous grin formed on his face, causing Couronne and the 'creator' to sigh from the weird similarities that both of their husbands share.

"That aside, I'm going to give you all your tasks to deal with our current predicament... Right now, the royal guards, Rimuru, Ains, the Dragonias, and Phantasmas are dispatched to monitor our enemy's movements from the other dimensions, so most of our strongest soldiers are currently out"

Lucias said causing all of them to nod their heads as they carefully listened to his next words.

"Kainas, gather the elves, and I want you to guard Korea and Europe from any Gastreas"

Lucias ordered causing him to respectfully bow his head with a determined expression on his face.

"Anubis, the races under your command will be in charge of guarding the rest of Asia and Africa together Death"

"I won't disappoint you, Lucias-sama"

She respectfully bowed her head together with Death who was smiling in excitement.

"Queen, scatter all of the Sirens and Youkai under your command across the pacific ocean, kill any Gastreas that may come in your way"

"As you wish~"

"I want one person to represent the snow woman and Ice Queens to greet me after this meeting, they'll be the one that will guard Greenland and Antarctica"

Lucias ordered before glancing at Azazel and Lucifer who were diligently reading the reports that he gave them.

"The demons, angels, and the dragons will be the one to guard both South and North America. Lucifer, Azazel, both of you will be the one to lead this army"

Lucias suddenly said causing both of them to stop their actions before nodding their heads in response.

"All of you don't need to worry about Japan since the Vampire Ninjas and majority of the founding members along with me are staying at that country. We'll be the one's to protect them... along with Imanity and the witches"

"What about us?"

Okien asked while pointing at himself.

"Your race will be in charge of auxiliary support to those who were dispatched across the globe. I will allow the use of all [God] ranked weapons, in the safe of our faction"

Lucias stated causing all of the members present inside the room to look at him in surprise as he never allowed any of them to use such destructive weapons in the past.

A single weapon with the grade of [God] can allow its user to alter reality and the domains to a certain extent.

"Are you certain about that, Lucias-sama!?"

Okien shouted as he asked for confirmation.

"Yes, all representatives and patrons that are currently in our headquarters will form a blood contract with the weapons so even if they die, the weapons will just break and strengthen their souls... We can just revive them in the headquarters once that happens"

Lucias answered remembering the miraculous ability of [God] graded weapons when it's user is killed, unlike the [God] graded weapons created outside of their faction. It had no delimits or side-effectsects since it was created by Okien and Lucias who both attained the peak of craftsmanship, together with the elves, the race who attained the highest achievement in magic inside their faction.

"We only have 20 [God] graded weapons in our faction so use it wisely when the situation calls for it. Only use it when it is needed, I don't want our enemies to gather any information about the ability of each weapon"

Lucias warned as he leaned closer to the table.

"We won't disappoint you, Lucias-sama!"

The representatives loudly stated causing Lucias to smile in his place.

"Then, that is all. Fal and Gid will be the one to guard the headquarters once were gone. I want everyone to remember that... always place your life as your greatest priority. Retreat if necessary and don't sacrifice your lives, am I clear?"

"Hai!"

-with Void-

"... This is getting out of hand..."

Void muttered in worry while watching both of her parents in the mortal realm together with Chaos and Order.

"Father's going to have a hard time dealing with the combined forces of those 7... It's kind of frustrating that we can't aid him in his current predicament" (Void)

"Order, you're coming with me? I think we can intefere for a bit since that woman is breaking several laws of Order and Chaos"

Chaos asked his twin sister who was watching her father intently from the small rift in Void's realm.

"I was planning on doing it anyway, I can help dad for a bit during this quest of his... I guess this a great chance to introduce ourselves to our half-mothers"

Order responded with an excited smile on her face causing Void to glance at her younger sibling with worry.

"You're planning on going down there? Who is going to run both of your realms?"

"We're not really planning on descending down there... We can just pull them to our realms so we can introduce ourselves. At most we can only summon the creatures that we keep in our realms down to the mortal world, we can't interfere too much or else, we'll destroy the dimension with our presence"

Chaos explained to his sister causing her to narrow her eyes at the two of them.

"... Don't cause too much trouble for our parents... I don't want to hear both of you and death destroying another dimension in the future"

Void warned with a serious expression on her face causing both of them to pout from her accusations.

"Do we look like the type of beings who destroy dimensions for fun?"

"That pervert made our little sister cry!"

Both of them shouted, not noticing the presence of their sister Death, who came inside the realm with a bored expression on her face.

"Hoh? When did you learn to talking behind your big sister's back, Void?"

"... Weren't you busy?"

"Not really, Hades kept taking the deceased souls that was stationed to enter my realm... Thanks to that, I have nothing else to do for the time-being"

She anwered with her usual cold and expressionless face as she walked towards them with curiosity.

"What are you three planning?"

She asked while staring at the rift in front of them.

"Dad's going to war so both of us are planning to help him for a bit since this somewhat involves our realms"

Order explained with a bright smile.

"Hmm... That sounds... interesting"

Death muttered with an amused smile while caressing the large scythe on her back.

"Death... don't even think about it"

"Ara~ this somewhat involves my realm as well, Void. I as the primordial being of Death is obliged to interefere with this war... Also, this may be my chance in getting rid of that pest Hades from stealing my souls away from me"

"Oh! I knew you would understand, onee-chan!" (Order)

"Fufufu... This will be fun" (Death)

"... You three are just so..." (Void)

-with Lucias-

[The primordial being of Order has formed an alliance with the player]

[The primordial being of Chaos has formed an alliance with the player]

[The primordial being of Death has formed an alliance with the player]

"... What the..."

Lucias muttered in shock as he read the sudden notification that appeared in front of him while the 'creator' tiredly sighed from the mischievousness of their children.

"... They're just like they're father"

The 'creator' whispered to herself as she prepared to confront the three of them once she goes back to her realm.

"... What are those three planning...." (Lucias)
