The Conquerors Path

Chapter 249-Is The Endgame Inevitable?

Mind chilling bloodlust filled the room, seeing the pressure that filled my entire being I was once again reminded of who the woman in front of me was, a once in a thousand-year genius, the woman that slaughtered death, killer of defiance, many crazy and powerful titles reign over her, she was not a little princess that could be messed with.

The years of dealing with her like an aunt had almost made me forget who she truly was, a capture target that was never conquered and a woman that didn't hesitate to kill my character in the game, when things got too rowdy, as long as the ones she cares about is safe, she wouldn't hesitate to kill even the hero of the world.

Her strength too was unavoidable, she was a half step Imperial but the feeling she gave off was above that, her level of power was far above what she was showing, if it wasn't for this she wouldn't have been able to lord over the position of the dean of the world greatest learning institute, several, powerful people greedily look upon this place, yearning to own it whole but they all tread lightly in fear of awakening Mira's wrath,

"Aunt, calm down and listen to me"

Finally breaking out of my thoughts I spoke, making Mira startled as she relied on her killing intent, an apologetic look filled her face as she responded,

"Sorry Austin, I just lost myself for a second"

"It's fine"

I responded, calm and collected making Mira surprised, after all her killing intent wasn't something anybody could take, just it bearing down was enough for several Origin Level 9's to lose their control, yet here I was cool as a cucumber,

"Looks like you must have had a pretty dangerous journey"

Mira spoke, her eyes filled with sympathy and pride, I didn't reject her words, for my journey was indeed something that placed my life on the line on several occasions but it helped me build myself back up, making me stronger and resilient,

"Indeed it was hard but it help me become who I am and for that, I will be forever grateful"

"Sigh...look at you all grown up"

Mira spoke with a loving and prideful voice but it didn't last for long as her face became serious,

"Tell me, who dares to scheme against the Lionhearts?"

"Cool down aunt, the enemies this time seems to be extremely dangerous, even with your level of control we need to trudge lightly"

Hearing my words a somber look took over Mira's face, she didn't even doubt my words, her trust in me was such that she wouldn't hesitate to place her life in my hands if the situation arose,

"Tell me all you know"

Mira spoke with seriousness lacing her voice, I nodded my head,

"Sure, things go as such..."

Soon I started my story the premise was simple, I had moved to my dormitory room but met with Shira's disdain, in this case, I made sure to tell all the interactions I had with her, and I continued saying that I used an intelligence agency hoping to cast revenge on her and her family, when I reached till here Mira didn't seem taken back at all, instead of with a smile she nodded at me.

She didn't even care for me destroying an entire family, to reach her level of power, the number of people she had killed was more than one could imagine, the rise to the top is never easy, anyhow I continues as I spoke that I found several discrepancies in her information, especially regarding the power surrounding Shira's fallen family.

I even took out several documents containing the information that I had, of course, some differences and divergences were made but that was for the better future, Mira took the documents as she read through it and the more she read the more her expression hardened, I didn't stop her as I knew how astonishing everything I showing her was.

By now I was sure that there was a supreme power out there lurking in the dark waiting to take action, most of the horrendous things in the world seem to have their hands in it, this was something I came to notice a while back, in the game we had several instances that we had to move to save the capture targets.

In fact in the main game Leonardo will take the last ring, take part in the game and win fame and fortune for himself but here came the question, how did the game end? the answer given by the game company was that 'when all the capture targets were captured' but it meant that the game would never finish.

This was the main reason that the game was so famous, everybody was trying to capture all the targets but it was not possible, many complained about it to the production company but no answer was given, they stayed firm, heck there were rumors that even the Gods were capture targets!.

But the rumor was never verified, after all just in the mortal plane itself there were several extreme capture targets, forget about the divine realm, if it was real then I could only say that I am fucked, having two yandere Goddess wasn't making me delusional that I all the Goddess will love me, going for it then is just a death wish...even though I couldn't die.

Anyhow the main question here was that in the game the girls got into problems but who was powerful enough to deal with them? of course in the game there's a story behind each action and I know them all but where did these 'enemies' get the power to deal this damage? in the game, it didn't matter how it happened but this is reality, I couldn't just shake my head and say that it's just programmed.

As Newton said, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, now I am chasing the tail of this reaction, I need to know, what is the endgame? the instincts that I used to play this game were telling me that this power that was hiding in the dark would be my answer, by now this world had become my home, people I love live here, hence I will do whatever to make sure that they are okay.

And sadly it would seem that this 'power' was aimed at these very people that I care for, I don't know their aim nor do I know the full capability of their power but I know that they are ones not to be messed with, their power in one word is terrifying but the most dangerous thing about them is that they are in the dark and they are extremely careful.

And unlike some protagonists I have no intention of taking all this by myself, the women around me aren't that weak that they need my protection, they are independent and strong and I will definitely be using their help in the future, plus if I could get them all to work together, perhaps then 'that' plan would work?.

Who knows, things might change in my favor. Hey, a man can dream, right?.
