Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 847 : Hell’s Eden [2/2]
As each battlefront considered the others hostile, telling your enemy that you need help would invite more danger than relief. Even when they were at the risk of annihilation, the Reapers remained divided.
"I am."
At my curt answer Amari and Mia made faces that looked like they swallowed shit. They probably knew the implications. Africa who was moving to invade would be seen as an enemy of humanity if they invade me while I liberated the North.
This single move would buy me time. Rather than fight Reapers, I would much rather study them while we fought a common enemy. I did not intend to make the same mistake as I did when I had my girls defend against the South Americans without any info.
The monsters of Hellsgate were much simpler to kill. Giving away the benevols it would directly aid everyone's assault teams. All while we get to cleanse Antarctica with the combined might of humanity. By bribing everyone with our weapons, their focus would be on reverse engineering them.
That was not even counting the fortune we could make. If my theory was right, we would earn big while relieving the pressure on Europe and Australia. With a million guns firing Sacreds, Devil's Remains would practically sprout up like mushrooms.
The power of capitalism would show its full might. If the reapers would not help out of altruism, they would help because of their greed to get new shinny shit.
Naturally, once the Keepers get the help they need to get back on their feet, the situation would change. Earth would close the breach and regain all seven battlefronts. That to me was probably the biggest reward.
But that was not all. Jo figured out way earlier. This entire thing had a more sinister purpose. Exa had the capability to monitor anyone who drank my blood. With the {Kill Switch} upgrade to {Sins of Limitless}, I could monitor and kill anyone who did with a single though.
So much like the {Gossip} {Fate} the South American observers had. There was no reason why I couldn't do the same. If the army formed for the reclamation of Antarctica drinks my blood. I would have gained a spy network across the entire globe.
But much like what Jo said It would have been far better to infect people slowly, one person at a time. If Exa gets exposed it might caused the world to turn to me. Much like how our country began banning products which we believed to be spying on us.
Ignoring them I turned to my people to check if they had questions for me. They all seemed to not comprehend the gravity of it so I elaborated further.
"Tildi, I am assigning this task to you. Coordinate with Phillip and the Derycks. Control the information about the rewards till the last minute."
"I understand my lord. As usual you instructions are vague as hell. But I consider it done."
I smiled at the ball on this clerk. Considering that more than one Siren squad wanted her, I knew she was plenty capable. I wasn't even sure who she was with at the moment.
"Connie, do you magic. Go all out. But do not make it seem like that we actually need help. This is an invitation. Even if no one helps, Hellsend will proceed with this task alone."
"You got it my lord! By the time I am done, people will consider you the greatest thing since sliced bread."
Ignoring Connie, who for some reason began taking pictures of me I turned to Nyda and Leo.
"You two. Use the information network of the Adventurers. Hire people from other continent if necessary. I want the even the bums on each battlefront to know of this plan. Add in there that any Adventurer who joins will be given a chance to join Hellsend."
"Truly? I understand my lord! I use our full authority to complete your request!"
"My lord, are the Adventurers also included in the soulgear rewards?" Leo the armored knight asked.
"Yes. If you two wish to participate you may do so. How that looks to your superiors would be your problem to solve though."
'Exa, did you add these two to the upgrade to Version two?'
[No my lord. Their allegiance is sketchy, so I didn't do so. While they have made verbal promises they remain with the Adventurers.]
I see. Exa's words made sense. It was impossible to serve two masters. Should I and the Adventurers issue conflicting commands to these two they would be in a dilemma. Although Nyda repeatedly promised that they were my people, it had still to be tested.
'Lets put this matter aside for now. Send the two of them the updates.'
[I understand.]
Just then Leo and Nyda looked at each other before suddenly saluting me.
"Thank you my lord! We will earn them!" x2
Saying nothing, I again turned towards everyone.
"You all heard our future plans. The next 30 days will be extremely busy. The Sirens and I will be proceeding to Operation Rock. The teams we will be taking has changed. But I want everyone who is part of a Siren squad to be ready to be deployed."
"YES MY LORD!!"
"Juno, Roach, the same goes for you two. Should the need arise, be prepared."
"Yes my lord. The Awakened will be ready."

"Hahaha! I wonder how the demons on Earth fight? I can go wild there right?"
As it was not in North America nor part of my Domain, I nodded at Roach's question. Just then I remembered something I neglected. Up till now I still had yet to tell everyone the name of the place they belonged to.
"I also forgot. For these set of instructions and announcement I will also declare the name of our Battlefront. The 24th floor and all the territories we reclaim in the future will be collective called by our new name."
At my words a lot of people began making wry smiles.
'These fucking bastards, I haven't even said the name yet,' I complained.
'That probably because your naming skills leave much to be desired, Beloved.'
'Stop beating around the bush Liv. Dearest. Your ability to give proper names is bad.'
'How is that not coddling? Possum you suck! You should not be allowed to name shit!'
'Hehe, Darling we don't mean to be mean. But your names are ummmmm… uninspired?'
'What the nutjob means to say is the names you give out Mr. Code are crap! Whatever you have in mind would probably suck as well.'
'Husband, don't mind them. If its the name in the letter, I think it is beautiful.'
'Shujin, don't mind them all. Who cares what you are called? What matters is the value you bring.'
I slowly lost confidence in myself. My girls had a way with words. Half of them weren't even trying to insult me. But they still stung. Gritting my teeth, I decided to let the girls name things moving forward. Including our children. That would be probably better.
"Sigh. We will be called Hell's Eden. This will be a our garden carved out in the middle of hell," I said without much energy.
Murmurs went around as the people began chatting in hush tones. But as I had {Listen}, I could still here them all. Including the ones who laughed at the name I chose.
'Exa, is the name really that bad?'
[I reserve my right to remain silent.]
'This shitty AI…'
The girls who noticed my displeasure all raised my right hands as they shouted. I didn't fail to see the impish smiles they had as well as the flurry of technopathy signals flying between them.
"HELLSEND! YOU LORD HAS SPOKEN! CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF OUR HOME! THREE CHEERS FOR HELL'S EDEN!" x7
"Hip, hip…Hooray!"
"LOUDER!' x7
"HIP, HIP…HOORAY!!"
"ONE LAST TIME!" x7
"HIP, HIP…HOOOOOOORAY!!"
At the cheers the ground quaked as the Awakened all stomped to the ground. From this moment on. My army celebrated as one without divisions, malice or envy. All to move to the future we all sought.
"EDEN!"
"EDEN!"
"EDEN!"
"EDEN!"
"EDEN!"
"EDEN!"
"EDEEEEEN!"
"All right you bastards! You have your orders! Get to work! HELLSEND! MOVE OUT!"
This moment marked birth of my Battlefront. The vanguard who would take on Hellsgate. And in a months time, humanity will finally begin to fight back for real.
