123 Infamous (2/2)

The answer to those questions also carried a price tag and many Evil G.o.d wors.h.i.+pers wanted to recruit Rahz to their organizations. The Sword of Justice had taken the life of many of their friends and now it was no more thanks to this Infamous person.

There were many questions sprouting left and right but the main one in the minds of the people in real power was, 'if it was true how did he do it? A piece of an avatar set was an item created by the G.o.ds and it had survived blows from the mighty dragons during the war' The Logical answer they all arrived at was... the information they were hearing was false and many informants found themselves getting beat up by unsatisfied clients.

In the Realm of Justice Odos was fuming and thinking of destroying the whole of Elysian, ”f.u.c.k it!! If I can't have it, n.o.bODY CAN”. Tasting defeat was never sweet and the worst part was that he really wanted the weapon, he knew what it was but telling his ”friends” about it, would decreased his chances of obtaining it. Apocalypse was the supreme weapon of the Realm of Elysian and for the G.o.ds it was like wielding the Realm itself, Odos would have direct access to cosmic energy and he could combine it with the Scales of Justice produced by the Realm he conquered now named after his divinity. (Realm of Justice)

Odos gears turned fast and all of the sudden his Rage turned into happiness and a new plot started developing in his mind. The Sword of Justice was a weapon created for a mortal to wield a little bit of Divine Power and could never compare to a Realm Weapon and now he was the only Ent.i.ty that knew of its existence, all he need it now was to create chaos and what a better way than to wage war.

Odos now had a reason to go to war but against who? To get that weapon, the wielder had to be unrelated to anybody and a Holy War required the help of other Good Alignment G.o.ds to split the cost but would they take the bait?.

The answer to Odos question turned out to be a giant NO f.u.c.kING WAY.

The problem generated by the Blood Harvester was deeper than he thought especially in the plane of the G.o.ds. Xeralis, G.o.ddess of Nature refused to move any followers to help Odos in his campaign and a.s.sume a neutral position under the excuse that she had lost a promising vessel thanks to Odos followers and that n.o.body of her faction had suffered because of what had happened to the Sword, it was Xeralis nice way to say ”Not my problem”. Excuses came raining down at Odos this time around, and there was nothing he could do but to a.s.sume the cost of a Holy War by himself.

The Sword of Justice was a big blow to his Church but it could be reconstructed with enough time and resources. The smartest choice for Odos was to swallow the lost and created a new sword instead of the possibility of losing the whole set in a Holy War.

There was very little information to formulate another plan, so Odos decided to sent an Oracle and request Ivan to bring Omega to an altar and perform a ceremony. Through the ceremony Odos filled in the gaps and found the loophole. Rahz didn't belong to any G.o.d but he was part of The Temple of Dreadnought and since his teacher abused members of the G.o.d of Justice it was logical for them to retaliate.

”Lord Odos has spoken, he wants us to demand Rahz who is a member and the leader of the Demon Squad to be turned over to us so he can be Judge by our laws and if they don't comply to wage war against the Temple of the Dreadnought”.

Ivan Pendragon frowned when he heard the orders, he was well aware of the situation of the realm and knew it was an impossible task for him to carry it out. There could be Dragonkin spies waiting for the moment the alliance went to war to sent the information back and that would be the end of freedom. Degark Harbinger, founder of Blackrock Port, care only about profit and his survival so... he would never help them. Invading the sovereignty of the Abyss and waging war on the entire Demon population required the help of all the other factions and without a call from their G.o.ds n.o.body will risk it.

It was a catch 22 but he had his best man on it, ”Issue an official request to the Temple and tell them that if they turned over the man known as Rahz leader of the Demon Squad and killer of G.o.d of Justice followers that they would compensate the Temple of the Dreadnought handsomely but if they didn't, they would risk going to war with the entirety of the main realm”.

Ivan Pendragon looked at his cards and put his best poker face forward while he bluff his a.s.s off, he understood that the real intention of Odos was the kid and everything else was just fluff.
