The Church of Leviathan was holding a small banquet, after the meeting between the higher ups about the battle formation and positing has ended. This is to uplift the morals of everyone and also welcome Leylin as the newest addition to the high echelon circle.

Inside the meeting, Leylin could clearly detect that Rose has divulged some information to the Popes and Commanders after which their expression changed ever so slightly, regardless it couldn't escape Leylin's rader.

Leylin got to meet the real pilots of Church, which was a total of 13 people excluding him. All were Commander of different Orders, 3 Cardinals and 3 Pope. Leylin could see that even though he was new, he was treated quite fairly and his opinions were considered with open minds.

Leylin knows that the Order of Death, is the order with highest number of death tolls and casualties and that is not because they are weak but rather they are very aggressive and dedicated to their assignments. Currently out of all the orders, the weakest one is definitely Order of the Death. They have not only recently lost their Captain but also lost a bunch of elite members, and their new Commander is a junior too so, Leylin was mentally prepared to be looked down upon but something like that didn't happen.

Leylin could also guess that this banquet for the celebration of his Commandership, is a hastily prepared one and something they decided on a fly.

It was, of course, a gathering of Church Holy Knights, Priests and other Follower and the Commander and Cardinals were a kind of chief guests. The Popes only spoke for a while, welcomed Leylin, wished his good fortune and luck, tried to raise everyone morals and retreated one by one.

The Three Pope are the group of strongest and mightiest leader whose presence only, stirs confidence and reverence in everyone minds. The Third Pope is a women who is fully doned in a long plain nun dress, with nothing visible except for her motherly face with a kind benevolent smile.

The second Pope and the person backing Leylin is a handsome looking guy with a broad frame and black hair with little grey apparent around the sides. During the talks of deployment of various Order on the battlefield, he immediately roped Leylin and in extension the Order of Death with him and choose his battlefront to be in his supervised area. Leylin also agreed and choose to go with him, reciprocating with his goodwill.

The First Pope or the Supreme Pope is an old man with a horrific presence around him. Anyone around his vicinity could feel a terrific power and vestige emitting from him. He looked like a very serious person with a solid build and despite his age Leylin could feel danger and raw power emitting from him.

In the wide hall, large chandeliers hung up high from the ceiling, radiating a bright glow that was a mixture of spells and man-made flames.

The numerous members of the Church were all gathered in a hall.

Even at the banquet, the differences in power level between everyone was very obvious. The High Level personnel including Leylin, had gathered in a circle and none of the other would dare to interrupt them. After a while all of them also retired to separate rooms to discuss about several things or simply retreat.

"Commander Leylin, It's an honor to see you. To know that someone as talented as you have appeared in these times of need is really a blessing for all of us. " Suddenly a youthful voice called Leylin from the back as he entered a room accompanied by Rose and some other Commanders. Leylin turned around to see a serious youth standing just behind him with a strict and disciplinary air around him.

"It's good to finally meet Cardinal Peter too. I have heard a lot about your amazing talent and great demeanour. " Leylin spoke calmly sizing up the guy with a smile on his face.

"I hope you take care of yourself, Wars are very unpredictable and even at our level we should be very cautious. I heard you also broke through during you baptism, it's really great. Baptism is a great opportunity and I am very happy you didn't squandered yours! " Peter spoke in a mild tone as he brushed passed Leylin, he appeared like a senior trying to guide a seedling with a strange smugness as well as silent unattended bitterness in his tone.

Leylin didn't reply to his words and simply saw his walking away in an attempt to look mysterious and cryptic. Leylin eyes looking at him were unpredictable and prophetic as though he could seer through the fabric of destiny.

Leylin isn't unaware of this Chess piece at all. This Cardinal Peter is the grandson of First Pope and also considered to be a rare genius of the Church. He is extremely young and despite that he has already reached Brigadier Stage which is absolutely amazing. He is also broken many previous records in the Church but one thing that Leylin doesn't know about is that he himself broke Peter's most glorious and dear record in Heavenly Blessing by surpassing the 25 minutes mark.

Leylin has predicated that Peter is yet another Child of Destiny, Another person who will rise through these tough times.

The Church Prophecy talks about the rise of a person who will unite all of the Human Kind under one banner and everyone has different views about who this person will be. The First Pope supports his grandson and that is why he has allotted ridiculous amount of valuable resource to him. Third Pope has no opinion in the matter, she is absolutely neutral while the second Pope is somehow supportive of Leylin and in his mindset Leylin's anonymous past only sures him more.

'The game of destiny is very strange, but now that I am sure of my safety I shouldn't shy away from making use of the chances before me. This battle will mark the clash of various warriors, Knights and Beast Tamer, although their strength level isn't very high, the sheer number of people is absolutely ridiculous. I could advance so rapidly here, without being too flashy and straightforward as it would be better not to shine in the limelight until I am absolutely sure about success . It's not only the 4 Dynasty Emperor and 3 Popes but also the Guardian Beasts behind them that I have to be mindful off.' Leylin was considering his options and choosing the best course of actions. This battlefield is a boon for him as he could not only collect a lot of sentient force but also extract various bloodline to study about. It seems as though wherever Leylin goes War and Chaos follows his path.

"Commander Leylin, This is Cardinal Mariem." Rose introduced a beautiful blue colored Lady as she was trying to introduce Leylin to everyone around here.

"Hello Commander Leylin. " Mariem respectfully bowed and show a gesture of goodwill towards Leylin.

"Hello!" Leylin said, his face stiff. He is trying to be polite on the surface, while deep inside he is already thinking about ways to manipulate the situation to his favor.

'Blair, Let's see what can you do. It's was a wise decision to let you fly, Nothing you do is hidden from me with my detection ability and special spy device that I introduced into your system via the Basilisk Blood Breath Potion' Leylin has rigged Blair's potion and set up some ways to track her movement. Through this way, whatever marvellous encounter she has in hands of destiny he could coat tail her powerful fortune and gain some profits too.

'Who would have thought that your destination is converging to my initiation in this world.'

Leylin continue to talk a bit with others and after a while of sharing greetings and some snacks everyone started to ready themselves for the fight that will soon begin.
