Ascension of the Nephilim

The region that connected the Lowlands to the Midlands was the Boundary of the Great Divide.

This was home to the Vaux Imperial Kingdom, considered the strongest kingdom of the Lowlands.

And now, the kingdom that was once tasked with keeping all other kingdoms from passing through the Great Divide, which led to the Midlands, was now changing.

There were too many political changes that have occurred in the past month.

The empire itself was changing, and the power struggle in the kingdom became so immense that high-ranking officials would die one after the other in a week!

No one knew what had caused the series of betrayals that opened the way for the Steele family to take root and reclaim their lost heritage in the empire.

But in reality, it was caused by two women who took control of the men.

Originally, these two would have fought each other. But now, they united for a common cause.

Mechiel used her powers and appeared before the elites of the kingdom. However, she never made a public appearance and would only agree to meet these men in enclosed areas.

The kingdom never imagined that she manipulated and caused the great Vaux Imperial kingdom to slay their own forces.

It was through her that Branze was named the Supreme Commander of the Alliance. Although he had the people's support for his amazing powers, he was not noble or a royal. He was from the family of the infamous Olander clan, believed to have brought devastation just a lifetime ago.

Even though many of their past now had evidence to suggest that the Olander wasn't as cruel and evil as they once were believed to be but had a legitimate reason, the numerous high-ranking officials still despised having a former Olander as the head.

Mechiel twisted the hearts in Vaux Imperial Empire and prepared the ground.

Scarlet was even more aggressive as she kept moving in between kingdoms as many began to prepare a contingency escape route with the war on the Lowlands rising to the max.

With the discovery of Middle and the Golem City, it was clear that the Highland and the Netherlands would claim it. The war in the Lowlands was expected to have Conquerors on a frequent basis.

And so, the royals began to create forts near the Boundary of the Great Divide, allowing Scarlet to infiltrate the Kattarax and the Lorem Ipsum kingdom.

With her within the web of power, she caused these kingdoms to lend aid to the Steele family.

Branze then untied the alliance and had been training the army with his superior cultivation knowledge thanks to the Library of the Nephilim.

The power levels of the Lowland human kingdom were skyrocketing in many areas.

Energy Formations circles, magic, martial fighting techniques, Blessings of Codes, and Corruption were also multiplying.

Scouts were sent out to numerous places in the Midlands but were now met with resistance.

-n0ve1、com Inside a large building where the Supreme Commander of the Alliance resided, numerous important people gathered.

Branze, Diana, Scarlet, Mechiel, Avaray, Grugnyr, and Stellya Emberdon met physically for the first time in months.

"So... we fight against an insane army... And we need to be able to push back Conquerors. What do we do now?" Grugnyr asked.

"Why are we even going against Lord Kyros..." Avary sighed.

"Everyone. Focus! We fight a terrifying enemy! Please be more serious!" Scarlet exclaimed.

"Please. You're just worried because Nightwing has been kissing other girls. Why are you mad? It's not even Kyros! It's Nightwing! I don't get what a Trinity is, but that wasn't Kyros!" Stellya frowned as she turned to a very impatient Scarlet.

"It's probably his body. That's what a Trinity should be, I guess. But Scarlet, you should calm down. If Nightwing is abusing our beloved's body he would have started kissing more and let us kill him. I can tell he kissed that girl so we would kill him." Mechiel added.

"...Unlike you, who doesn't love him and can't stand the thought of having someone who chases after you turn away, I won't allow my beloved to be given over to any other woman! This Nightwing might cause more gaps in Kyros's hearts to sway! She might make Kyros long for more women! I already have you and those two princesses to worry about!"

"That's honestly to your advantage. You don't know the ties we had formed in the past life. But now, with the Charmed Fallen manifesting in me, he needs to make me desire him. You alone can't defeat me. He is letting Nightwing take the lead to weaken the curse and keep me enticed to chase after him and make his heart more vulnerable to you. As they say in the Lowlands if you want to chase and capture chickens, don't chase them while they are free. Chase them when they have owners who leash them. A vulnerable Kyros is easier for you to take than one dedicated to me. As for me, his little actions of severing hearts are really working! I have grown strong as my heart is dedicated to acquiring more power and have reached the peak of Commander. But the Lowlands have too little for me to claim the Cardinal levels." Mechiel sighed.

"And that's why I gathered you all here. I received a message from Pyrekaiser Fafnir."

"The Champion Supreme Pyrekaiser?!" Avary exclaimed.

"Yes. He's with Princess Listrel. We now know the plans of Nightwing. He will be sending the Eldrich here with cultivators from another planet. That is the Conqueror army that we have to face. Now... Our issue is that we need resources to boost our strength. The Lowlands do not have this. Even if we exhaust the whole supply of this kingdom, we would only reach Cardinals. And our goal is Crown!"

"Crowns just the minimum. Even with our Codes or Corruption, the Crowns cannot rise to defeat Conquerors. Even if we become Victor's Crown, who would have three to four hundred stats higher than those who are Crowns and would be at the very peak level, a High Conqueror of the first level alone will still have stats that would be two to three hundred higher!" Mechiel added.

"I know the difference of power between the two in my past life. If we want to have a chance to face a single Conqueror, we should reach the mid stages of the Crown to fight! But this only applies to a few of our families. Branze, Mezal, Aron, and Martha would fall into this category. Lady Diana, I fear that your current strength is enough. You need to reach the peak stages of Crowns to hold your own against a Conqueror!" Mechiel spoke.

Mechiel's tone was very respectful and showed no arrogance. On the contrary, her words were of pure concern despite the effect of the Charmed Fallen's arrogance and self-centered vanity.

Diana smiled and nodded.

"Was I really good to you in your past life that you can't even try to be arrogant towards me?" Diana laughed.

"I would have died for you, my lady. And even now, I will." Mechiel gave a warm smile.

"Hm... I wish you really loved Kyros. That way, I would root for you." Diana chuckled.

"Mo-Mother... What about me?" Scarlet asked.

Diana sighed and turned to Branze.

"Dear, just tell them your plans."

"As Mechiel said, Crown is the bare minimum of what we need to be. Keep in mind we still have to keep hidden from Fate and Destiny. While those two are having this chess match, we are outside the board, and our actions will surprise both. Thankfully we have friends with the Highlands, and my son's other person or soul, Nightwing, is also an ally in this undertaking. We can play both sides, thanks to our friends in heaven and hell. Princess Listrel said that Nightwing met with Breveros and discovered a secret. It seems because Destiny knows the future, he knows who will become a threat to him. And sometimes, this means his own people."

"I see... Bolerax was set to be the Eldrich king. But Breveros was too strong!" Mechiel realized it. She had already noticed Breveros's power in the Unrecorded Pages.

"Yes. And this revelation can be to our advantage! We pick a Kingdom that we know will betray our cause in the future. We lead them to fight Nightwing. Destiny will favor Nightwing, who has presented himself as a True Neutral willing to fight for Destiny. This will cloud the future sight of Destiny!"

"That is if Nightwing succeeds. Can Destiny be easily fooled?" Grugnyr asked.

"Kyros tricked Histerion and Oblivion. And if Nightwing is the Fallen soul, then he can easily do that and trick Destiny. If he is with Breveros, then Bolerax must have been convinced." Mechiel answered.

"Exactly. Kyros has planned to give Destiny a false future. Since he awakened, his victories were always related to this. He was a blind item that Destiny kept trying to attack and kill because he was the only thing that he couldn't see. But imagine if Kyros's Mysterion was used to deceive?"
