Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

"I am the key to help you become the symbol that you always wanted".

"…"

"…"

"…..!" 

Gaufrid was shocked. "Who?"

Bzzz!

He finally appeared.

Gaufrid's eyes widened into saucers as he stared at the existence that just appeared before him. 'A human?!'

'How?!'

'How did he cross the shield?'

"My name is Legolas Baron". He spoke. "I've been here since.

Gaufrid's eyes widened even further. 'Since?!'

"Yes," The human replied like he could read his thoughts. "I have been here even before the invasion force arrived in Planet Ancestor Mandrill".

"…!" A lot of thoughts went through the mind of the Beast King.

The situation of this battle already messed up his state of mind which was the catalyst that pushed him into going back into the memory lane in the first place.

It was the stress of the situation that made him doubt the integrity of his Beast Priests for the first time since the inception of the Beast Coalition.

At this moment, he was not in his right state of mind and seeing this human, the first thing that entered his mind was to kill him immediately.

He did not care to know how the human was able to infiltrate here, what mattered was that for him to do so, he was a threat to beast freedom.

Another thing that he noticed was that all the beast guards around him did not notice the intruder at this moment.

This human was only visible to him and it freaked him out even more.

BZZZ!

The energy of this Beast King barely erupted when it quenched, it quenched because of the next words that came out of the mouth of the human.

"Admiral Nathan…"

"…!" Gaufrid froze in shock as he stared at this human.

"…he is the spy of the Beast Coalition".

"…!" Gaufrid's eyes widened into saucers.

'Admiral Nathan…, that's Ghost…!' This Beast was losing it!

'Was his cover blown?'

'Has he been caught?!'

'Did him being caught compromise us?'

'Is Ghost still alive?!' Panic started seeping in and this was when the human spoke again, it was like he was a robot timing his moments to perfection.

"He is still alive".

"He bid his time because he understood that with me out there, you have no chance of making a comeback against the allied forces of your enemies".

"With me here now though, this is what he has been waiting for".

"If I am not wrong, Admiral Nathan will call you soon".

"He will tell you to kill me since that's the only way for the Beast Coalition to have any hopes of a comeback if there is still a chance".

Ring! Ring! Ring!

At this moment, Gaufrid's galactic access phone rang.

He looked at it and his eyes widened even further.

[Incoming call from the Unknown!]

"…!" He turned his head to look at the human with even more shocked eyes at this moment, a ton of thoughts went through his mind again.

The Unknown was Ghost's codename and it was only known by 3 people in the Beast Coalition, him, Saurtem, and George.

"Take it, don't keep him waiting". The human smiled.

For the first time in a long time, Gaufrid's hands shook, he no longer felt safe.

He felt exposed and vulnerable at this moment as he looked into the galactic access phone.

He picked the call.

Click!

"Gaufrid, he is the true enemy!"

"Kill him, he is a seer!"

"He's the enemy at the center of all this suffering!"

"He told the enemies of all our plans, he knows everything about us, he was the one who worked the way for the invasion, everything came through him!"

"Kill him now!"

"He knows everything!"

"If you kill him, with my help, we stand a chance of a comeback!"

Gaufrid just stared at the face of Admiral Nathan on the phone before inclining his head to look at the smiling human who looked back at his eyes.

"It cannot be so simple". This Beast King grimaced.

"No one smiles at the face of death".

"Yes," The human nodded. "This is just a doppelganger".

He looked into the eyes of the Beast King. "Gaufrid".

"…!" 

Again, he was shocked, this human just called his name!

How?!

"I am the key to help you fulfill your dream".

"I came here to make you achieve your dream and become the symbol that you always wanted to become".

Thoughts rapidly flowed through the head of this beast.

He looked at the human. "How?"

Legolas smirked.

His masterplan was finally about to enter the centerstage.

…

3 days before the war…

Inside the underground bunker for the planning of the war, the lineup here was powerful as Fleet Warlord Elyon, President Dunk, Admiral Zhao, and Chief Admiral Gregory all stood before the unmatched seer.

They just told him about the assault plan made for the war.

Legolas faced them with a serious look on his face.

"I know you don't just want to win the war against the Beast Coalition, you want to win the war with as few casualties as possible and I have a plan for it".

They silently looked at him, waiting for him to explain.

"I have to admit, your assault plan was meticulous".

"It ensures no survival route for the Beast Coalition but is that truly the perfect outcome?" 

"They're a powerful force and you'll need sacrifices to annihilate them despite the incredible advantage that I presented to you".

"Besides, it doesn't matter if you want to believe it or not, perhaps he also doesn't know it yet but the Beast King already became a symbol".

"He was able to achieve something that no other beast was able to achieve throughout history, he is the trailblazer already to beast freedom".

"Across the universe and most especially the Minerva Star System, countless beasts if not everyone of them already see him as a role model…, a symbol".

"If we annihilate them today, the Beast King wins".

"It is 100% guaranteed that in a century, another Beast King will rise to continue his legacy, that is the symbol that he aimed to become from the very beginning but he doesn't know yet".

"If another Beast Coalition rises in the future, your victory in a few days will not be complete, leading to more losses in total for you".

"And over time, the problem will only increase".

"To achieve a complete victory, I have the perfect plan".

Legolas smirked as he looked at them. "I told you about the spy already".

"He is yet to act because he recognizes that I am the key to your success. The only thing that will prompt him to act is me and we can take advantage of it".

"That is why I want to come to an agreement with you today".

"I want to take the Beast Priests of the Beast Coalition under my banner".

"…!"

It took 30 seconds before Chief Admiral Gregory was able to react.

"Outrageous!"

"The audacity!" This warrior's Calamity grade energy erupted.

Throughout, Legolas had a gentle smile on his face.

"Explain". President Dunk demanded.

"There is actually another prophecy that I saw that I'm yet to tell all of you," He looked them in the eye. "I know the secret backer of the Beast Coalition".

"His name is ElKing".

"…!" The eyes of everyone present here almost burst out of their sockets.

"The Element Emperor?!"

"The King of all Elementalists?!"

Legolas smirked. "Yes".

"He wants to turn the Minerva Star System into his secret territory right under the noses of the Azure Pantheon".

"That is why he funds the Beast Coalition".

"The beasts were never the evil ones, desperation pushed them to evil".

"All they want is their freedom, ElKing is the motivator behind their violent and ruthless massacres".

"This does not excuse the mistakes of the Beast King though".

"This is why I want to step in".

"Let me execute the Beast King".

"…" They just looked at him. 

"I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to convince him to become the martyr to ensure that his dream of a Beast Empire continues even after his death, making him the symbol he always wanted to be".

"In exchange, let me take all the Beast Priests in".

Before Chief Admiral Gregory could protest, Legolas raised a finger. "First, the Beast Priests will never agree to work under you, the hatred is already too deep to be reconciled".

"Second, they will accept me because at the end of my plan, despite executing the Beast King, I will be the savior of the Beast Empire".

"I would have helped him achieved his ultimate dream".

"All you need to do?" He looked at them. "Give a small part of your territory to the Beast Empire to make them an official thing".

"At the end of it all, the Beast King will be dead".

"All the Beast Priests will be under my banner, the terrorism of the Beast Coalition will become history, the dream of the Beast King will be accomplished, and you will win the war with as few casualties as possible".

"To me, this is win-win for everyone". Legolas spread his hands.

"Make your decision".

"Nonsense!" Chief Admiral Gregory roared. "You'll be the one benefiting the most from this deal, besides, how can we trust you with so many powerful Calamity Grade Beasts?"

"And how do you think to control Calamity Grades as a Grade B+ Super?"

Legolas ignored the Chief Admiral, he only looked at President Dunk and Fleet Warlord Elyon. "Before you forget, your compensation was never enough, my seer powers are the only reason that you stand a chance in this war".

"Let this be my final payment for my contributions to this war".

"Make your decision".

"…" Both leaders looked at him.
