Chapter 226: Preparation

3rd person view

"What are their orders, father?" Charlotte asked

"They've asked us to not interfere with their ritual, people who disobeys will have to pay with their lives" Cyrus answered "And there's a specific order against...Albert Golds for him to not interfere"

"What will they do for the ritual?"

"They are summoning the demon lord, the most feared being known" Caster explained "To summon them, they have to obtain the 7 pendants of elements, sacrifice 50 thousand people and 666 people who have done irredeemable crimes. It can only be done every millennium"

"But that's-that's forbidden magic!" Charlotte exclaimed "They sacrificing human lives!"

"They are using prisoners or criminals who have done horrible crimes" Castor pointed out

"Dear gods!" Charlotte threw her arms in frustration "Can't believe that our little sister is friends with the guy who's one of the executives"

"What choice do we have? We interfere, we'll die." the king sighs "And knowing Albert's personality after he become one of our guards, he'll definitely go after them. Castor, make sure that he's occupied. Hold him and his dragon down with force if necessary"

"We'll still lose" Castor responded "You realize that despite his age, he's one of the strongest mage we have since the first king?"

"Then delay him till the ritual finishes" the king demanded "And like you said, we can't lose a talent like him like we did with Perseus"

"Draven, our preparations are all in place, right?"

"Yes, boss. We are all ready to move out at any time" Draven nodded

"Good, we'll carry the ritual in a week"

The god themselves are also preparing for the upcoming demon lord summoning ritual. The search for Colden is still ongoing as the gods don't want his side to interfere.

"Colden, this time by appearing, you will be declaring war" Elektra warned "You shouldn't have to volunteer, you know. Because I will be ordered to capture you again and this time, they will end you along with the other 3"

"I don't care, besides you already know our plans. The other side will not be able to descend easily" Colden replied "And this isn't like last time, I'll be descending in my own mortal form instead of possessing a weak mortal one and hiding my godly body"

"You'll die like the mortals you hate, you know that right?"

"Stop repeating everything you just said, Elektra, I know. But it's for the cause, and we're willing to die for it, and descending at the time they summon the demon lord is the right timing" the room then started to freeze "besides that one mortal in particular, I'll kill him for making me experiencing a useless death"

< You can try to kill him> Elektra kept the thought to herself

Just a day before we do the ritual, Zach called me to his office like usual.

"Well how have you been bro?" he asked

"Zach, word of advice: 2 girls are hard to keep in check"

"Please, do not tell me about your sexual life" Zach sighs

-Yeah, we told you that many times- Dabria scolded

-But I didn't even say anything to you guys-

-You didn't need to, you have the face every time you get laid- Diana responded

-I have a face?-

-You'll smile more than usual- Siege answered -And somehow more confident-

-But I haven't even done it recently-

-We know, just wanting to point it out- Daman replied

"I still don't even know why Eliza likes me, I asked her, but she's apparently keeping it a secret along side with Lia and is keeping me out of loop."

"Brother, for the love of god, don't expand further on this" Zach pleaded

"Well Zach, if you had a partner, we all know that you would take several pictures and spamming it in my text"

"Oh yeah, I definitely would"

"You siblings are alike in a weird way" Damon commented

"By the way, Zach if we die tomorrow, we're both going to hell"

"Oh definitely" Zach nodded "What do you think will be our punishment?"

"We will probably have to watch the ending of games of throne on repeat for all eternity"

"I never got to watch it though"

"Well good thing that you didn't" Damon said "I saw it through his memories, and I would advise you to just stick to the good memories"

"Stop right there, criminal scum!" Rex shouted as he stopped Albert in his tracks "You're not a criminal but I've been told to say that, but you do have to stop there"

By Rex's side is Perun, they're both ordered to stop Albert from interfering. A regular mage around Albert's wouldn't win under normal circumstances, but he's a reincarnate with 2 piece of plotinum, the strongest material in this particular fictional world.

Seriously, Author? I know it's late, but plotinum?

| I couldn't think of good fictional metal names. Now do your job |

"Why stop us?! You're killing thousands of lives!" Albert yelled

"They're all criminals, dear Albert" Rex chuckled "Don't feel pity for them, some has raped children and murder families, do you really want to save them?"

"They're still people and not animals!"

"Well I've been tasked to stop you, but just so you know, I'm a slime, physical attacks won't harm me, not even your sword"

"Why are you telling us this?" Aenon asked

"An experiment!" Rex cheered "Will you still win after I tell you? That's what I want to find out. Now where was I, what was your name again, Perry?"

"Um physicals don't affect you, sir" Perun answered "And my name is Perun"

"Thanks. And I heard that you specialize in light magic, it doesn't effect me either, light will get refracted with my slime's body, so..." Rex then narrowed his eyes at Albert's bracelet "You'll have to use that, right?"

"Yeah, he definitely gave you information about me" Albert commented "He was always smart"

"Smart would be an understatement, he has compiled a list on the strengths and weaknesses of everyone he knows, even I'm impressed when I saw his files" Rex chuckled "Perseus Silver is a very cautious person when it comes to fighting, there's also a decent chance that you will beat me from what he says, I look forward to it"
