Guardian Of The End

"He has completely broken the contracts of all the family heads as well as the rest of them." Julian muttered while walking through the royal palace.

[ It was expected. The child was still getting used to his abilities but once he mastered it, he focused on breaking the contracts imposed on everyone around him. That was the only way for them to be able to fight us head on. ] Galirius replied.

'Can you overpower him now?' Julian questioned telepathically since he didn't want anyone else to hear the question.

[ No, I can't. He doesn't have the normal variant of Sancus's divinity like the ruler of the remaining free kingdom on this continent has. I can overpower her for some time but it's still a slow process. ] Galirius sighed.

'Let's see. We have managed to convert about fifty percent of one of the other kingdom's population into your followers and the same thing in happening in the third kingdom. We should be able to have about ninety percent of the population turned soon.'

[ I would have liked hundred percent of the population to be turned but those guys already have followers. Even if this is my home world, I can't mess with too many gods. ]

Galirius knew that he was strong and had quite a good support at the bar of gods. Once had the entirety of Clover under his control, he would make some of his supporters have more followers on Clover.

This was under the condition that he would be able to proceed smoothly without facing any backlashes.

Even if Clover was his home world, meddling with mortal affairs so much guaranteed a huge backlash on him.

Galirius, however, avoided all that by transferring the backlashes to those who were supporting him.

If he didn't do that and decided to not suffer from the backlashes, his enemies as well as the gods who wanted to support their followers on Clover could easily counter him with the same amount of power.

That was how balance was maintained. Currently, if any of those gods or goddesses wanted to descend frequently like him, they would either have to face a backlash, transfer it to someone else or provide him with the opportunity of using even more power.

'I don't understand why the divine emperor lets such a loophole exist in the system. I thought he wanted things to be fair and balanced.'

[ He does want that but then, this is the definition of fair. You can't trap gods in a pavilion with only themselves to entertain each other with. It's more fun to see worlds collapse and rise. ] Galirius chuckled.

Julian didn't ask anything after that. He had realized that the world of immortals was full of pain and misery.

Though it did include many benefits, the negative side of it was no fun.

'Maybe if I obtain immortality, I will also be playing with worlds like this…' Julian thought before shaking his head.

He decided to focus on the next part of their plan which would direct the trajectory for their future.

'Do you think a million of them should be enough?'

[ Send two million. No matter how heartless they become, they can't defeat and kill so many of them, especially the innocent ones. Once we have Risa and Issac captured, things will be much easier. ]

'What about that Amon guy? I know he can rival you with that divinity and natural ability of his.'

[ The sin of wrath has always been the strongest sin and there is nothing I can do about him. However, I can defeat him due to the extreme rise in the number of followers I have. ]

'And the demon continent?'

[ Honestly, only the family of the sins are strong enough to fight us alongside that traitor Hecate. Send a few million there and if they kill majority of them, we will paint them bad in the eyes of the people here.

If we earn the support of someone inside the four families, we can easily manipulate them to get our way inside. The fight will serve as the perfect distraction for that. ]

'I take it we are going as well. Seventy of the commanders, including eight of the main ten ones are going to the demon continent. The remainder will come with us?'

[ Yes, we will use them to tire Risa and Issac before striking. We just have to make sure Jason doesn't get near them and once we have them captured, it's almost over for all of them. ]

'I will ask Silvia to come as well. Even if she is weak, her simple presence will shake all of them enough to lower their guard a bit.'

[ She can serve as a good last-minute shield to stop Risa and Issac from attacking. ]

'No, she is far too valuable for that. I am not gonna let her do something like that.' Julian argued. 'Plus, we have other ways to defeat them.'

[ All right, all right. Keep your precious beloved with you. I don't care what happens to her as long as we win. ]

'One more thing. What are we going to do about that child with the divinity that Jason took inside the temple?'

[ From what I could tell, she has a strong divinity, but I couldn't tell whose divinity it was. Don't worry, she is just a child and is likely new to using her divinity, so we won't have to worry about her. ]

'All right.'

Julian was currently standing outside the palace and was glancing at the army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered in front of the palace.

[ Wait, what are you going to do with that child? ] Galirius questioned as he focused his attention on a blond teenager standing at the front of the army.

'She is someone special who I owe a promise to. Don't worry, I have her perfectly brainwashed and under the control of a contract that even a contract breaking divinity might not be able to break.'

Julian casually walked to the front of the army and tucked a strand of the girl's hair behind her ear.

"How are you, Mila?" he asked with a smile.

"I am fine, father. Hiro wanted me to tell you that he has planned a nice strategy for you to use. Lady Silvia agreed with him as well." Mila replied calmly.

"All right. Ask him and Silvia to come here. We will be leaving in a day or two." Julian instructed.

Mila nodded and used teleportation magic to move away from her spot. Julian watched her go with a smile on his face before addressing the army.

"Soon we will be leaving for our destination. Prepare to fight to the death!" Julian's voice echoed around the entire city. "Be prepared for blood! Be prepared for war! Be prepared for chaos!"
