Novel Full Chapter 587 - Bestellen's Plans
-----
Within the world of Kritias, the presences of Ervas and Veronica across the entire world resonated with immense auras of elements, Bestellen and his Gods within the Continent of Anir's Hands felt the immense pressure of their existence, the power harboring within them!
However, before they could detect anything else, the split souls sealed their own power using their Skills and Magic, concealing their gigantic presences from the watchful eyes of the Gods.
Bestellen and his gods had felt it, however, and were still wondering what that was really. They didn't know the exact power of the split souls, so they had not originally identified this entity as them.
However, Bestellen began to fear the worse, this could be the awakening of the Dark Gods!
"If this presence were really the Dark Gods… Then there's the possibility of them trying to finally attack us after all these years… Are we even ready yet? And if Uphy and the others ally them then…! Hm… we'll have to use everything we have then. How is Myhner doing?" asked Bestellen, as his eyes flashed with bright yellow light.
"Hero Myhner seems to be doing good, he had progressed at a fast pace through the various trials of the tower, my lord. It seems that assigning enemies that are similar to the Dark Gods, their Heroes, and even the Demon God King's various forms are helping him tremendously. He has already leveled up and changed Jobs several times. His skills are being polished and so is his cooperation with the rest of his party.. Perhaps in a bit more, he will become capable of putting a fight even against Demon Gods…" said Forohr, the God of Laws and Order.
"That's not enough. It is good progress, but not enough. Hurry the time difference as much as possible, ask the Time Attribute Gods to do everything they can! We must give them as much time as possible. The boy will become my vessel, so his progress must be hastened," said Bestellen.
"Yes my lord," said Forohr, without doubting for a second.
Bestellen was growing desperate, he had to get a good enough Hero that could use his power correctly, his soul body was not enough to actually fight in the miasma-filled surface.
Unless… He was to use certain types of materials, or well, certain types of fragments.
When a God utilizes Demon God King Fragments, their bodies somehow become resistant against the corrosion of miasma from the environment, which results in giving them the ability to descend into the surface without the necessity for a vessel… However, these fragments are dangerous parasitizing entities, and using them like this would be more than just reckless, but crazy.
However, it was still within the realm of possibilities…
Bestellen sighed, as he began to consider his next course of action. He couldn't merely sit idle. He had to do something regarding the awakening of the Dark Gods and the future Demon King, Ervas.
The forces he sent were assassinated with utmost ease, and Seashore is now cataloged as an off-limit area where no one is admitted. Of course, the place is so far away from the capital, that the people don't even care about that, especially those that don't belong to the Empire of Bestellen who lived near this city, who still do many negotiations with it.
Bestellen wanted to eliminate these threats as fast as possible, but without Myhner to be used as a vessel yet, he had to think of other roundabouts for the current situation.
He learned from the Gods he had put to watch over Seashore and the other cities that they were all being protected and connected by Ervas and the mysterious woman at his side.
However, before they could report anything else since then, the gods felt as if there was some sort of magical veil over these places now as if someone had put some kind of massive god-like illusion…
This illusion was obviously made by Veronica's Dream Illusion Magic with the aid of Ervas and Aurora (formerly Kireina's clone). But the gods could not descend nor use any sort of power to see through them, so the spying had been put on hold, although these Gods were still watching over this place, and being slowly affected negatively by these strange illusion veils.
Bestellen had to think in a way to provoke them somehow and then lure them to kill them. Perhaps if he could get ahead of their plans and find what they were up to next. But now that some of the Bright Gods were about to join them, things wouldn't be as easy anymore.
Bestellen considered his troops as he had several physical Gods, often called Demigods, who were physical gods, unlike the soul gods. Such beings were divine entities, like Titans, Elder Dragons, and Beast Kings. The majority of them descended from the first children of the Dark Gods that created them, who had betrayed their parents to join Bestellen for several circumstances.
These Gods were powerful entities which Bestellen could ask for help, their strength was more than enough to fight and be on equal terms with the strongest Demon Gods or Heroic Gods, if not higher. And several of them were already on their adult pace, so their strength was very admirable.
Several plans were blossoming within the mind of Bestellen. One of them included assaulting the Seashore town and its allied cities through his various troops, which could even include armies of Heroic Gods and more, and force Ervas and Veronica to emerge and protect them. This way, he could finally find them where he wanted and while they fight to protect the people, he can use all of his troops to defeat them.
It was a risky plan, but it could actually work if he pulled it off correctly. He would gladly ask for help to Hekaton now that things were so dire, but the God had not been answering his divine messages at all for some strange and unknown reason…
And even more, he realized that there were also several Subordinate Gods that Uphy and the others left behind after desperately running away.
"Hmm… Maybe that could do it…" Bestellen considered as he seemed to have come out with something truly deplorable.
