Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 890: Heroine Chapter: Swept away [1/2]

"I will bring the Awakened to Kismayo to kill the demons. Afterwards they will join me when I butcher the undead in Antarctica."

When the man I loved the most uttered such a ridiculous statement, I felt myself chuckle. While I admired his tenacity and drive, my Dearest one was not exactly a paragon of prudence. He was brash, impulsive and followed his instincts like a beast.

’Sigh, how typical of him,’ I inwardly muttered.

This man was an utter fool when it cames to those he loved. If the request came from a Siren, whether it was plucking out a star from the sky or lifting the heavens this man would do it. Even though I loathed such tendencies, I couldn’t stop smiling.

After all, the same impractical promise that applied to Liv, also was offered to me. So, in effect, the success of Liv’s dream would prove to the rest of the Sirens one thing. As long it was we who asked, Limitless would fulfill it.

’Fufu, just how many women in the world could boast of such a thing. Despite not being affected by this I feel my cheeks getting hot.’

I knew from early on that this impossible task was something he often thought about. I used to feel annoyed at the audacity of the Liv to put it in his mind. Wives were meant to support their spouses for their goals. In that respect, Liv was a failure as a wife.

What man would appreciate a woman who only burdened him with her affairs? Even more so when the matter was the fate of an entire continent! If it was any Siren but Liv, not only I but several others would have beaten her unconscious to wake her from her illusion.

One would assume this woman was either a fool or an irresponsible harlot bent on playing victim. However, anyone who knew Liv Ivaldi would never make such an assumption. Liv was one of the most noble people I have ever met, so much so I thought she had to be acting.

’Sigh, if only Liv was a selfish, insufferable gold digger. How much better would it have been?’

Time and time again this woman demonstrated to us her true nature. She was perhaps the only one in our group who truly loved everyone else. If any of us were to die, Liv would most certainly place herself in protect us even if it meant losing her own life.

We, who knew her inclination could hardly fault our {Kindred} for his resolve to help her. In fact, most of us wanted to do it too. But reality was harsh. The difference in effort between desiring something and attaining it in reality was often extremely arduous.

And reclaiming a battlefront which fell to Hellsgate was something no one has been able to do. There was no record of when Antarctica fell. Only that it did. Bella and I actually had doubts about the whole thing.

"You noticed right? Liv is either lying about the dates she knows or there is something going on in Antarctica."

"I know, Liv is convinced that it only happened 9 years ago. But all records of that event seem to show that it happened way earlier. Like hundreds or maybe even thousands of times earlier," I confirmed.

When we brought it up to Dearest, his answer was as simple as can be.

"Does it matter?"

"Huh?" Bella and I caught off guard were rendered speechless.

"It doesn’t matter when it fell. What matters is when it will be reclaimed."

If that came from anyone but this man, I would have called him crazy. Yet as the days passed, he now declared for all to hear of the next operation to follow after Rock, Paper and Scissor.

"Announce to all the seven battlefronts. In thirty days, Hellsend will liberate the North. We invite the rest of the battlefronts to help humanity. Hellsend will grant them benevols and soulgear and cleanse their malice as rewards. And to the top contributor, we will sell Fakers."

Humans were selfish. It was completely insane to believe people would help you because of altruism. Dearest, who saw the filth of the world for what it was had no misgivings about this.

And the man I adored knew this. He planned to not only give the Reapers what they desperately needed and forced them to work even harder to gain more.

I served as the Commander for the White guard of North America. I knew the many failed operations to farm Devil’s remains throughout the years. It was one of the resources that allowed Reapers to live longer. Malice was curse that could not be lifted among my kind.

Hellsend alone would be hard pressed to fight an entire continent’s worth of enemies. But if we were not alone? In an ingenious approach my Dearest planned to use the very selfish nature of Reapers to kill the undead.

This was on top of several orders he gave Hellsend. All of which not only gave us new weapons, tactics and tools. They also forced our entire army to feel the weight of their responsibility.

The Sirens and I could feel it. To those that longed for purpose and power, there was no greater honor that being counted on.

In less than a season’s worth of time, John Smith went from being a regular human to being one the most powerful people in Hellsgate. While he was only a Phantom, the power he wielded already far surpassed even those of a Specter. While Specters were powerful, they were not omnipotent.

Even Specters could be beaten by a well-equipped group of Phantoms. As if knowing this fact by heart, my {Kindred} recruited rather aggressively. He didn’t care what you were or where you came from. Only if he wanted to fight. This led to the entire army of South America joining our ranks.

’It might have been because he did it for Bella, however the fact remains it was a terrifying achievement.’

Not only did he gain an army of veteran Summoners, but his methods also earned him the loyalty of two Specters. If that was not enough, the Awakened similarly wish to demonstrate their use. In my opinion the biggest game breaker that even the South Americans.

The Sirens and I all agreed on this point. They said so the moment I told them about the Awakened. Attacking Antarctica meant having to purge the malice off the earth.

And while it was fine in small numbers even Specters would be overwhelmed given enough malice was accumulated. Carlos and Herman represented such futures.

Initially our plans involved creating large numbers of benevols. That was what I instructed the Saint division to prioritize. But alas, my spouse once again flipped the board by not only befriending the Reborn but subordinating them.

While we were first unsure if it was a good thing, Aki in particular shared a secret kept among the Reapers of Asia.

"It is a concept evident in the mythical beasts from Asian legends and religions. Our sacred beasts are mostly Reborn in partnerships with Reapers. My continent unlike the west treated them as allies. Being Enhancers naturally showed our sincerity, allowing us to gain their trust."

Jo and Jas Descendants who arguably had the most information also shared Europe’s take on the matter.

"Yeah, I think you all just lucked out. Europe kind of hates them. As a general rule Astrals hate the Reborn with a passion. I think they were betrayed or something. Which is why unlike the you guys that worship them, to the us they are monsters to be vanquished."

"While there are families that keep some Reborn as pets, they all eventually killed the monsters before they get too strong. It is one of the great mysteries why Asia alone managed to subordinate so many of them, Husband truly is amazing."
