22 The Start of a new Era Start of Arc-2 (2/2)
General White scrunched up her eyebrows, just who did he think was an easy target.
”Now, I would like to propose a deal with you. I can promise the title of Demon Lord to you if you agree to join our organization and follow all of our orders. You don't even have to become a zombie!”
”Why do all of you keep offering me the throne? Is it-”
”Yes, the fact that you want the throne is 'that' obvious.”
”...”
”You can make that decision later, I will come and visit you. For now, you just have to agree to the treaty. If we win the war you will get to become the monarch of two realms.In exchange, I will take care of these Revenants silently. How about this deal. You have nothing to lose either way.”
Emma couldn't help but feel tempted. God knew how long she had lusted for that throne.
Before it seemed impossible, as the crown prince Lucifer the 5th seemed all set for succession, but then after his mysterious disappearance he was pronounced dead. The dark lady had never shown interest in the throne but the rumors that the king had found a new heir were all over the place.
Help from a mysterious organization would increase her chances by a lot. He was right, for now, she would accept the deal and would think about the other offer later on.
”I will think about it.”
”Glad to hear it”
With that Lucas slipped into the shadows and went right back to camp.
He needed to have a chat with Lilith. As much as she said she had no designs on the throne, it could only mean that her ambitions were much greater.
She could either be an extremely valuable ally and an asset to the Anarchists or an extremely deadly enemy.

Adam had won.
He had defeated the Anarchists and wiped them off the face of Terra.
He had saved the world and made it a better place.
He was the hero of the entire planet of Terra.
Unfortunately, the last attack made by the Anarchists in their dying throes had affected them heavily. Many of his friends and allies had died in the explosions. The important ones had survived as they had stayed behind.
He would have died too, but for some reason, Lucas had decided to save him before sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
If that was all it would have been fine, unfortunately, it wasn't.
The Island that once used to be the base of the Anarchists, now is a no-man's land.
A spawning point from where 'they' came.
'Otherworlders' of all shapes and sizes.
Of all races and origin-worlds.
From different dimensions and orientations.
Bringing things like Magic, futuristic technology, sorcery and a lot more.
The interactable world had become so much larger.
The existence of other worlds had just become mainstream, as more and more worlds learned of the existence of others and made contact with others a dark forest of mistrust was slowly developing.
An inter-dimensional war was soon going to take place, and Terra was going to be the battlefield.
