Chapter 49

--------- Realm of God's --------

God Ravel Williams was seen in his office reading the reports of income earned during the month through the systems which he had embedded in the soul of reincarnated individuals in various dimensions which were under his control. These income reports were prepared by his slaves/lesser God's who worked for him. "Seems like everything is going smoothly" said Ravel Williams to himself as he read Goddess Kara's report which showed income he earned through the military system he had given to Sean Walker. 'With my divinity completing it's recovery from the last reincarnation, its time to move on to another target ' thought God Ravel as he sent his Qi on the long distance communication talisman.

"Hello Sir Ravel, what can I do for you in this fine evening" asked a frivolous voice from the other side of talisman.

"I have a job for you Jack and this time the target will be a man. He is a newly ascended lesser God in this Decade's entry of Gods in our realm. I need you to do your usual magic. Use your trickery to make him fall for you. Whatever he owns belongs to you. You have a decades worth of time to achieve this mission" said God Ravel.

"No problem Sir Ravel. Though I personally like working on a Goddess, I'll make sure to meet your expectations" said Jack who is also called Trackmaster. He is a God who has trickery as his divinity and he was the one who had tricked Goddess Kara and stole all her wealth and left her in poverty. 150 Years ago under God Ravel's instructions Jack targeted the newly ascended Goddess Kara and tricked her and placed her in a situation exactly where God Ravel had wanted and now a new candidate has been chosen by God Ravel. Being one of the people in charge of screening the candidates who newly enter the Realm of Gods, God Ravel had access to the information of the newly ascended Gods and this helped him in finding a relatively newer lesser God without any affiliation or background and pushing him to dire straits financially. The sheer number of times he had done this made him open a new fetish, which was manipulating gods as his pawn, had started giving him a great amount of pleasure. Despite engaging in this activity, God Ravel had a very good image on the Realm of God and received a lot of respect from his peers and other gods.

After passing on the information regarding the targeted newly ascended lesser God through communication crystal, God Ravel cut the connection and called his secretary via telepathy asking her to call for Adam, another lesser God who is currently his slave. Though Ravel could have called Adam directly through telepathy he preferred to maintain a chain of command to make the other lesser gods to come to him only through his secretary and not directly.

Soon a man who looked like he was in his 50's with unkempt hair and beard came inside the office. He looked like he had not stepped out of his room for years and has been working round the clock. Adam was a man who had worked hard for many years and struggled to achieve improvement in his cultivation before finally achieving Godhood albeit a lesser one after 5600 years. He had gone through too much of success, failure, betrayal, loyalty, sorrow, despair and happiness that he felt he was invulnerable to such emotions and after success of Godhood he felt like he could finally relax while living forever peacefully. He no longer wanted to be involved in any conflict. However fate seemed to have other designs for him. Not even 5 years after his ascension to the Realm of Gods, he had fallen in love with a middle aged matured Goddess who seemed to also be head over heels for him. However the matured beauty also attracted the attention of a higher ranked god. The thing that hurt Adam the most was that the Matured beauty Goddess named Shakira betrayed him within seconds by going into the arms of that higher ranked god. Adam did not stand a chance against the High ranked god who had mid-grade divinity and was beaten up until he was almost on the brink of death when God Ravel interfered and saved his life.

Though Adam should be grateful towards Ravel for saving his life, instead he was filled with rage. Though Adam was tricked by Shakira, the second she ran into the mid-tier gods arms, betraying him, he knew that he had fallen into one big scheme and arrival of God Ravel had solidified this feeling. Being a veteran cultivator he had schemed and been schemed against and had huge experience in politics. However his matchup was bad. He had gone up against a High God who dared to even scheme against other gods and a mid-tier god who has trickery as his divinity.

Currently, Adam has been working for Ravel for centuries by monitoring various dimensions to select Candidates who are eligible to be Reincarnated.

"God Evening Sir Ravel" bowed Adam with a serene expression. He was already past the feeling of rage and had long given upon his life. "By tomorrow have a compilation of a list of people eligible to be Reincarnated. Oh and don't include the names of people from mortal dimension Earth. The last candidate for my reincarnation was from there. We cannot have the divine beings in control of planet Earth know of our actions" said Ravel with a tone of order and Adam bowed to Ravel once again expressing his willingness before walking to his room.

Meanwhile within the student council office Sean and Liliana were getting ready to escort Cornelia to the Central part of the city. The shops in the Central part of the city were high-end shops specially for nobles and the prices were quite exorbitant compared to the products of other shops in the city. Just as they were preparing to leave the student council office, Sean remembered the announcement made by the geography teacher regarding the boy called Albert and said "Ms. President, amongst the new students, a boy called Albert has been missing since yesterday afternoon while his luggage was still in his room in the inn he had stayed. If I am not mistaken, then this is the work of that serial kidnapper who has been active during the recent days".

Carmella's face stiffened after hearing my theory and asked " Oh!! why do you say that? " not knowing what led Sean to arrive at this conclusion.

"First, our serial kidnapper has been targetting the warriors whose levels are increasing progressively. Judging by this we can assume that going on from level 1 and 2 he had moved on to Albert who is level 3. So if we can keep an eye on the level 3 warriors that goes missing in the coming days there is a possibility that we could get more clues. Secondly, our serial kidnapper targets guys from normal family or people from small family and even then he targets them when they are alone. Normally the members of these families don't have bodyguards protecting them and this makes them a viable target. Albert fits both these profiles, though this is just a conjecture, I personally feel that it requires to be investigated. Moreover we cannot have him continue this" said Sean.

Liliana and Carmella both had a solemn look on their face. Liliana had investigated this case before when level 2 warriors had started going missing around 2 months back but couldn't get any clues and gave up. During the time she investigated it felt like the guys vanished all of a sudden without leaving any trail. If not for their luggages and roommates complaining about them going missing no one would have known about their existence. Liliana had investigated the black market slave traders and local gangs and crime organisations only to come up empty in her search.

Cornelia who had been silent from the beginning said "Oh! something like this had happened. Tell me are the warriors who have been missing 2 level 1 warriors and 12 level 2 warriors? ".

"Does Ms. Cornelia know something about this? " asked Carmella

"As a matter of fact I do. In my opinion all the magi clan must have figured it out as well. In other words The Faulen clan, Merlin clan and Wilson clan should know who is causing this. The victims would go missing once in every 3 days and would be sacrificed before an altar for the demons and gets power similar to that of warriors. These people will not only be incredibly strong against opponents of their level, their body will also be modified as their level progresses. The modification would start from growing sharp nails enough to slash like a sword till they become a full blown demon with wings. They are a part of ancient warrior pathway called the demonic warrior with shamanic powers.

As their level progress they would also be able to use magic. Apart from risk of getting caught, the demonic warriors have no problem in leveling up. Of course as level progresses the number of people they need to sacrifice also increases. Due to this being a ruthless method of cultivation, they were destroyed to the very root. Looks like someone got their hands on this method. Carmella, you should not get involved in this matter. Seeing how they kidnapped the warriors without causing any scene, there is a high possibility that there is a high level demonic warrior involved. The three big clans will make their moves once they find out their identity" said Cornelia while Sean, Liliana and Carmella listened with solemn face.

"I'll do as you say Ms. Cornelia" said Carmella while looking at Sean and Liliana and said "It's getting late, escort Ms. Cornelia to the shops and remain vigilant. Though I doubt anyone would try to cause trouble in the Central part of the city".

Sean and Liliana nodded their heads and Sean walked towards the door and opened to let Cornelia and Liliana walk out of the room before following them.
