Chapter 632: Unexpected Development (1/2)

Today, all of Raven's accomplices are gathered in his abode.

They were summoned without any prior notice and while they were still in the middle of their duties. However, since Raven was the one who summoned them, they didn't hesitate to come since he probably has something very important to tell them.

The people who arrived weren't many. The Sect Master and his wife is here, the Grand Elder and his wife was also here. Henry, Theo, Charles, and Logan were here as well. These people were guided by Kyrie towards Raven's private study and were gathered there to hear him out.

Once everyone was seated, Raven stood up and said: ”Thanks for coming everyone. The summons were abrupt, please excuse me about that. It's just that a surprising development occurred and its something I have to inform you right away.”

Everyone remained silent but they were all wondering why they were summoned to. They waited for Raven to speak about the important matter but instead of telling them, Raven took out something from his spatial ring.

It was an array disc which is protected with several layers of privacy seals. He placed it on top of the table.

Raven then looked in the room and snapped a finger. Several runes glittered with light and everybody felt that the room became isolated from all manner of detection.

”This is just pre-caution. We can't have anyone else spying in this conversation.” Raven informed in order to pacify their suspicions.

Once everything was ready, Raven deactivated the seals on the array disc, he then said: ”Before I explain any further, I want you all to watch this first.”

Raven then activated the array disc and it began showing them information that these never thought they'd be able to get their hands on.

The very first scene that the array disc showed already captured their attention. This was the scene of the Allfather and his meeting with his loyal followers. The audience saw and heard everything, the array disc even replicated the feeling that Raven got from witnessing the scene himself. It also revealed the presumed identities of the followers.

There was a slight pause in there before the array disc showed another shocking revelation. This it time, it revealed the amount of spies that Raven managed to place within the ranks of their enemies. The diagram listing all the locations of the branches was also revealed. Raven made a collective report about the estimated strength and numbers of the enemy forces and compared it to what they have just to give everyone an idea as to what they were dealing with.

The array disc finished there, and to say that the people around him were shocked would be an understatement.

”That guy...the Allfather.” Logan muttered after a brief silence. ”He's bad news. Very, very bad news. See this?”

Logan raised his arm, looking at it closely it was actually trembling: ”I can't control this. It's been like this since the first time I laid eyes on that guy.”

”Must be love at first sight then.” Henry snorted on the side, causing some people to snicker softly and for Logan to glare at him.

”Alright, all kidding aside...” Charles gave the two a knowing look as he continued: ”I similarly agree to Logan. That Allfather, whoever that is, is a very dangerous man. We would be placed in a very difficult position if he decided to move, and it was clearly implied that he's going if needed be. So we have to do something about him.”

”Don't forget about the presumed identities of his followers. If that's their true identity then we will be in a more difficult spot. They rooted themselves very deep into the Divine Realm's forces so dealing with them would be really complicated.” Theo stated.

”And we're completely outmatched in terms of man power as well. We have serious catching up to do but our hands are tired since we are keeping the spies to serve as baits.” Henry added.

”The problem here is time.” The Grand Elder commented. ”Even if we know all of this, we simply don't have enough time to catch up. Additionally, since our hands are tied, if we are careless then the spies would catch wind of our plans and reveal it to them. Knowing that, they might not give us any time to grow, they might start the war pre-emptively. That would be the worst case scenario for us.”

”That's right.” Lady Hera, the Grand Elder's wife nodded her head. ”It would be great if we could at least have some estimations on how much time we have left so that we can refer to it for our future plans.”
