Chapter 34: sounds like a plan

After Venitas contacted Esmeralda they continue their search on Gilgamesh and Eleana.

Feldway asked, "can you tell us why are you so worried about what is going on inside the dungeon? Is there something that you're hiding from us?"

Venitas said, "mind your own business Feldway. Whatever is going on inside my master's dungeon it is none of your concern."

Feldway smiled and said to himself, "this guy loves pissed me off. You love hiding from us huh? Good thing I sent one of my experts on gathering information. Since we both all 4 superior rulers agreed on exchanging information you won't mind if she stumbles into something classified, right Venitas?"

(Go back to chapter 16 if you don't understand what is Feldway talking about.)

Venitas said, "judging by your bastard's looks on your face you're up to something. I won't let my guard down around you, asshole."

Feldway got angry and said, "can you repeat the last word you've said?!"

Venitas said, "I said! You're an asshole!"

Feldway got pissed off and charges toward Venitas and Venitas fight back as well.

Midray got annoyed and said "oi, both of you! For once in your life can you please work with each other in peace, Goddamn it?!"

Venitas said, "but this guy started it!"

Feldway said, "no you started it!"

Midray shouted "both of you shut up!!! I don't give a damn thing about who started it so for my fucking peace of mind's sake, please shut up!"

Both of them got terrified and said, "yes"

Midray said to herself, "damn these 2! Every time they are together they won't stop bickering at each other like an annoying bird. I want to take their throat out of their neck! However, I'm kind of curious about what is going on in the dungeon as well. That woman Esmeralda fights far more superior than her. Judging by the aura she emits she's a half God and half pandonium demon. I wonder who is she."

A few minutes later…

Luxion said, "we're already near them what's the plan?"

Midray said, "I and Raksasha will subdue that vixen while you, Feldway, and Venitas do whatever you want with Gilgamesh. Don't mess this up this time. You guys were uncooperative with each other so that's why we lost the battle. If you screw this up I'll kill the both of you."

Feldway said, "as long this bastard steps out of my way ill win."

Venitas said, "I won't get in your way if you won't disrupt me from what I have to do."

Midray said, "please, I'm counting on both of you. This is for the sake of every last people existing in this world, no it's for the whole multiverse. If we lose this battle today we will not have any hopes for tomorrow."

Feldway and Venitas said, "you can count on us."

Midray said, "and you, Raia, and Luxion I want you to find the real Eleanor."

Luxion said, "you're asking to find the real Eleanor while she's with Gilgamesh."

Raia said, "I agree with Midray. You see, she may look like the real one but she's not the real deal. It's a clone."

Luxion said, "are you guys delusional? There's no way that is a fake one"

Raia said, "I hope you're well aware that we're up against the people from ancient times, and in ancient times the skill shadow clone never existed. However, some people could use a skill that is far superior to the shadow skill and most of them were Asmodeus subordinates."

Feldway said, "I kind of agrees with Raia's deduction, after all. I fought Asmodeus's subordinates on the front lines as well. Among the 5 right-hand guardians of Asmodeus, 2 people are capable of doing such a thing. If I remember correctly one of these 2 is Eleanor. I have already forgotten who is the other one. After all, I'm not the one who fought the other one, it was Keros himself."

Raksasha added, "the skill that they're using can create a perfect clone of them without any flaws. The only weakness of this skill is that they can only create 1 to 2 of their clones and there's nothing more into it."

Raia said, "it's already been a thousand of a century since you fought with them, and yet you still have so little knowledge about them."

Feldway said, "it can't be helped, they're good at hiding secrets."

Venitas asked, "what about that evil God, the one who created the shadow clone skill, Saturno? Did you find anything about him being in cahoots with Asmodeus's subordinates?"

Feldway said, "no."

Venitas said, "so you just wrongly accused for creating that's almost the same as a skill that Asmodeus's subordinates use? So much for being a hypocrite God."

Feldway got angry and said, "what did you say?! Can you repeat that?!"

Venitas asked, "what, did the truth hit badly? Did I hit a nerve?"

Raksasha said, "for once in your life can you please stop doing this to Feldway and not just Feldway I want you to stop doing this to all of the Gods."

Venitas got angry and said, "step out of this kid if you don't know what is going on."

Raksasha asked, "what do you mean by that?"

Venitas said, "why don't just ask that scum."

Feldway asked, "Venitas, what are you talking about it?"

Venitas said, "oh, so you're acting dumb now, huh?!"

Feldway said, "I'm fucking serious, Venitas! I want to resolve our conflict for good. Is it because of Xerxis's death?!'

Venitas said, "this is not just about you nor my master Xerxis. It's all about you all Gods."

Midray breaks his silence and said, "Venitas, shut it. There's no point in bringing this up."

Venitas said, "what, you don't want me to reveal the Gods slowly destroy everything? If I'm not allowed to reveal everything now when is it going to be? Is it when the time has already fallen apart because of them or when all of the 13 realms fall into extinction? I know that you have a deep grudge against them. You still can't forgive them. You and I are well aware of their tyranny. You may have been able to forgive them but not me ill never forgive them."

Venitas walks out leaving them speechless.

Feldway looked at Midray and Midray walks out with disappointed looks but Feldway stop him and asked, "Midray, can you tell me what is it that I don't know? Tell me what the Gods have done that made Venitas have deep hatred at us."

Midray said, "you are a clueless one aren't you?"

Raksasha said, "I want to know it too."

Midray said, "it's none of my concern to tell you what happen and how you've taken billions of lives in just the blink of an eye. Venitas was right. I still hold a deep at you Gods. What you did is unforgivable but ill try to slowly forgive you. However, it doesn't mean that I will try to improve my relationship with you. After all, I don't want to get along with a mindless murderer like you, Gods."

Feldway said, "I see, back then at the Stallion banquet. You said you won't get yourself involved with my fight against Venitas because of your anger."

Midway said, "I'm glad you're not that to see that. Anyway, get out off my shoulders I'm going to force Venitas to cooperate with us just this once. For the sake of keeping everyone safe ill set aside my hatred against you."

Midway followed Venitas and left Feldway and Raksasha speechless.

Raia said, "I'm not going to meddle with your affairs any longer. I'm going to focus on my task. Although I haven't forgiven you for what you did to me and Diana. Just because we ended up being I ended up being a shield hero and Diana ended up a healer hero you let us be ostracized by human society and let the humans destroy our pride, dignity, and morality. Now, if you're planning to force us to become heroes of humanity again all I will just say is that, fuck you, you fucking Gods I'm not going to bow down to your will and never going to be their hero again."

Raksasha laughs and said, "fools, we don't need the healer and the shield hero for protecting the humans. The 4 remaining cardinal heroes will surpass you soon enough."

Raia said, "as if that's going to happen. After all, their lives won't be that long anymore. Remember this mark my words, one day you will eat the words that you've said today."

Raia walks out and murmurs, "that is because there is a traitor with them waiting to kill them all. Not even God can save them because that traitor is far more powerful than the 4 superior rulers. Probably he's not making any noticeable for now because he wants every one of them to slowly die in pain."

Feldway said, "you ungrateful brat! I'll get you someday!"

Luxion said, "I guess all the Gods are a bunch of idiots. You see, the demon lords and chimera insects were formed because a Gods like you existed. Under Xerxis's leadership everything and peaceful. However, after Xerxis the 10 great Gods fight each other for Xerxis's position and what is the result. Countless lives were taken away because of that pointless war that you created.

After you've taken the throne you never looked back at the countless lives that were taken away for that stupid war of yours. Oh, I forgot that you looked after those humans who died and never to demi-humans and demons. However, there is a one and only God who looks after us and it's none other than Saturno the leader of the chaos faction Gods. He helps us realize that Xerxis left something for us that will help us become stronger and that became the reason for his death because you people from the peace faction find it very alarming. So you created a lot of theories and ways how to kill him, ways how to kill the God who cared for us. However, you only found a dead end but he started to create a lot of unusual skills that are almost related to Asmodeus's subordinate's skills.

The reason why Saturno created those skills is that it has the chance to help us uncover the gift that Xerxis left us with but in the end, we weren't able to protect him. You summoned the 6 cardinal heroes to kill us but there were only 4 of them because you mistreated the healer hero and the shield hero. You said back then if Saturno didn't surrender to you. You will kill us all but in the end, you spared any of our lives. You ordered the execution of demi-humans and demons. Moreover, the countless lives you've taken created huge negative energy that almost shattered the 13 realms into pieces. I don't know why Keros resolve that issue peacefully matter. He should have just killed all of you useless for everyone's sake. It would be better if you never existed.

Now, I've satisfied your curiosity can you please stop pestering us about that shit reconciliation of yours! The 4 superior rulers will never be together because of you. Xerxis and Saturno are the most suitable rulers of the Gods, not you. You will never be like them."

Luxion left with an angry expression and Feldway and Raksasha became speechless with anger.

Feldway said, "they were the ones who started this and they are so mad at it. If they have already forgotten what happened back then, I'll make them remember all of it. I will jog their memories so that they could remember how suffered at their own hands back then. They shouldn't be the ones who are asking us to apologize for what I've done, we should be the ones who should be asking them to apologize to us."

Raksasha asked, "so what are you planning to do now Feldway?"

Feldway said, "for now, I won't exact my revenge against Venitas. It will cause a huge disruption to the balance of power if I ended up exterminating Venitas now."

Raksasha asked, "so how are you going to deal with this?"

Feldway said, "for now, I plan to help someone at demo lord's side and have him overthrow Venitas' position. After that, I can freely do whatever I want with Venitas and the demon lords. I'm going to help them get out of this battle alive so that they can suffer at my hands."

While things are ongoing 2 women are talking to each other in an unknown place watching the overall movements of the war.

One of them dressed like a cardinal hero with a mask and black short hair.

The other is being well-dressed like a princess.

The well-dressed woman asked, "so what are you planning to do now Dianna? The war is already about to reach its end with Asmodeus winning. If we don't make a move now your brother will die out there."

Diana said, "there is no need for you to panic, Yelena. The other major players are not yet making their moves. If we make a move now we will just spoil everything. In the game of chess normally there are 2 players but in our current situation, we have 8 players which are me, Asmodeus, Xerxis, Alicia, 4 superior rulers, the current and future Rosario, Satan, and your brother-in-law Yuri."

Yelena said, "you mean Yuri is going to make his come back?! He was being sealed alongside Zenon because of what happened 1000 centuries ago. He was being sealed by their other siblings, Alicia, Asmodeus, and Chibi."

Diana said, "alright, let me explain what is going on. As current things stand now Alicia Multiversal ruler today. Her brother Asmodeus is dead, and Chibi went missing and has never been found up until now so how Alicia is going to keep intact on her own? Her brothers have the same level of power as hers. Keeping their seals will be hard for her and right now she's fighting in the front line to rescue my brother from the future."

Yelena asked, "then why don't you reinforce the seals yourself?"

Diana said, "look, I have no absolute authority in the Celestial Kingdom. I'm not a citizen of that place. Meaning to say, I can't go in and out of that without permission and I managed to that place how am I going to reinforce that seal? After all, the 2 of them have already become the pillars that support the power of the Celestial Kingdom. If I try to reinforce the seal and messed up with the fluctuation of magic the Celestial Kingdom citizens might just die for good."

Yelena said, "so you mean there is no other way out of this?"

Diana said, "yes… even if we do nothing countless lives will be taken away at the Celestial Kingdom as it loses its pillar. It's just like what happened to the other timelines but at least half of the Celestial Kingdom will be destroyed not the whole one, at least it's not as bad as what happened back then where the Celestial Kingdom citizens lost their lives as the air they breathe disappears. After all, they are living in outer space there is no way they can survive in outer space. The outer space will be their tomb."

Yelena asked, "so what is your plan now?"

Diana said, "once the demonoids made their move I want you to take care of them."

Yelena said, "taking care of them is just an easy thing to do as long as Leviathan and Satan won't interfere. What about you? What are you going to do?'

Diana said, "me? I'll be going with Athena and helping my brother to return to his body."

Yelena said, "sounds like a plan."
