Chapter 363 Hidden Powers

However, the tranquility and silence shattered when a spatial disturbance manifested beside the table, where the two chairs were empty, emitting a brief but piercing screech.

The space returned to normal, leaving behind a man who stood above 6.6ft, jacked with dense muscles showing beneath the parts of his armor that were not metal.

"Magnus, You better have a very good answer as to why you let those fuckers destroy our guild cities and humiliate us, or one of us will not be leaving this place alive," The man took his seat and said in a tone laced with killing intent.

"Magnus, If you are trying to test my patience, then this is the wrong time,"

"I want an answer. Why did you not give order to Odin or Loki to use the battle Seventh Rank battle puppets or hell, even the War Titans that we worked so hard to acquire,"

"A single War Titan would have been enough to destroy both of those puppets and even ten more if he had broth that many," The man roared as he slammed his fist on the table, but all he received in reply was a cold stare from the cloaked figure.

"Killian, I assume from your tone that Loki did not tell you about the plan," Magnus said after calmly listening to the outburst.

"What Plan?" Killian questioned, his aura returning to calm as he waited for an answer.

"You can ask Loki yourself, as he would be arriving any moment," Magnus said, shifting his eyes towards the system screen showing Alex's battle against Odin, which only he could see.

"Evangeline, Do you know about the plan?" Killian questioned the breathtaking beauty seated across him, who looked at him and nodded in confirmation but didn't explain as she shifted her focus back to the screen.

Killian didn't look pleased with not receiving an answer, but he also said nothing and, like the other two, started to watch the battle between Alex and Odin.

After a few minutes had passed, the space blurred again, making all three individuals shift their concentration towards it, and when the space turned to normal, a cloaked figure was teleported a few feet away from Killian.

"This humble servant extends a respectful greeting to the esteemed young masters and gracious lady," Loki said, his head slightly bowed as his dark cloak vanished.

Loki, standing at 6.1 ft, his face not being something one would remember, adorned with a light beard and a refined physique, and with a warm smile, appeared no different from any other thirty-year-old to the casual observer.

However, to the refined eye, he emitted an undeniable aura and exuded confidence through eyes that ordered attention.

"My apologies if I made you all wait, but the discussion with the Elders went longer than I expected," Loki said, with a slight bow before he took a seat next to Killian.

"What was the plan? To get humiliated because you did that spectacularly, but you could have done better by making Aeon mop the floor with Zeus and Ra," Killian said, facing towards Loki, who just smiled at him.

"Young Master, your three families have ruled the world for decades from the shadows, and they have done so by crushing anyone who stands in their way,"

"However, sometimes it is important to handle things smartly rather than using force,"

"The Shadow Oblivion organization is an anomaly because when Zero came to Earth, he made a deal with us as its Rulers, and for helping him establish things, we were given the continent of Eldravia,"

"It was deal with us and just us three families, but now we are finding out that there is an organization out there that we know nothing about, and even if they boosted about their strength, it didn't mean that they are weak in any way,"

"The organization could have gained access to a hidden continent, but that is not certain, and as for how they grew without us knowing, it could be because they only had very few members that grew in some guild, and when the time was ripe they were added to the organization bound with strict contract,"

"They got lucky and acquired the Malefis Domain Ruler, and knowing the domain value, they decided to use it to expand their influence and strength,"

"The Malefis Domain Ruler alone is a big threat to all of our plans, but with Empress Siles making it clear that if we eliminate him, she will erase us from the face of the world, so we can not do anything to him even if we locate him,"

"Although Zero limits the Domain Ruler's influence, much like ours, it doesn't diminish the level of danger he poses, so dealing with him and the organization is a sensitive matter," Loki said, and before he could say any further, he was interrupted.

"Do you also plan to tell us how the Eldravian Empire aims to conquer the whole world, and they are working with the Demon king to complete this goal?" Killian said, looking annoyed.

"Young master, my apology. I was just refreshing everyone's memory of what important information we know," Loki said, and after a brief pause, he continued.

"As you all know, Demons have been working to take control of the Human continent for years, and two days ago, they accomplished that task," Loki said and went silent.

"How?" All three individual said simultaneously, their expression telling how surprised they were.

"I don't know the details, but the Human Emporer had entered a state of coma, and he is not going to wake up for years, and I believe it is the work of demons,"

"As the Human Empire had no crown prince, the demons who had already taken control over the Council of Nobles used them to pick the First Prince over the Emporer's younger brother as the next Emporer,"

"The First Price was not a traitor to the crown a few days ago, and he was a proud son of the Emporer, but then he was contacted by an elder of the Eldravian Empire a few weeks ago, who told him the truth,"

"The elder showed the prince various traitors in power and also showed him the Devourer beats, and shared that the Emporer would fall, and when he did what they planned to do to the human continent,"

"The prince stayed loyal, but two days ago, when the Emporer fell, he was given a choice, and having seen everything with his own eyes, he knew what future awaited them, so he pledged loyalty to the Eldravian Empire,"

"I do not need to tell you what that means for us," Loki said, a broad smile spreading on his face.

"If we control the Emporer. We control the Empire, which means we control the entire Human continent," Magnus said, a smile stretching across his stoic face as laughter erupted, growing louder by the moment, his eyes going unfocused, lost in a world of imagination.

"Yes, we do, and if we want something done, it will be done," Loki said after moments of silence.

"Our plan to deal with the organization and the Domain Ruler was changed after we got this news, and it was the reason why we let them lay waste to our cities."

"As for what the plan is, let me elaborate,"

"We let the Shadow Oblivion destroy our cities so we can use the Emporer to declare them criminals and demand that Aeon be handed to the Empire to be jailed for three years,"

"While the organization would be required to pay a hundred Million White flame coins to us three guilds who had suffered the injustice,"

"If the organization doesn't comply in three days, then they will be permanently banned from the Human Empire, and any member who was caught will be thrown in jail for a month," Loki said and went silent, hearing Killian speak.

"They would never sacrifice a person like Aeon," Killian said, slowly like he was thinking out loud.

"We know, and that is exactly what we want them to do,"

"The new Emporer will make this statement in forty-eight hours,"

"After the statement is made, we will do a live stream, telling how the attack on us was unjust and we appreciate what Emporer did for them greatly, but it is excessive and is collective punishment, and we will request that he forgive the organization,"

"After that, we will showcase a dozen Seven Rank battle puppets and two War Titans and declare that we have the means to go to war with the Organization, but we would not do it because we have better things to concentration on,"

"However, if the organization declares war on us, we will not back down, and then we will reveal about the Continent,"

"We will tell them how the guilds reached the hidden continent through a portal that we found inside a high-grade instance dungeon while we were jointly exploring it," Loki said, and again, he was interrupted by Killian.

"Whoa, Whoa, Slow Down."

"Why the fuck would we reveal to the public about the continent of Eldravia that we went above and beyond, killed hundreds of people just to keep it hidden,"

"If we even make it public, any player not belonging to our guild and not marked with the entry rune could not use the portal, as Zero built it exclusively for us,"

"Are we doing this to recruit more members? To present ourselves as Noble? To gain fame?"

"What the fuck is the purpose," Killian said, and his questions were shared by his other two companions.
