"I think I know where did the mark of the beasts came from." Robin paused and looked at the reaction of his fellows.
"There is a God in my territory."
His revelation stunned the others. That is not something that should be casually joked upon. However, looking at his expression, Robin is not joking.
"What do you mean?" Admiral Yu asked.
Meanwhile, before answering Admiral Robin pressed some buttons in his desk and displayed a report to them.
"There is a cult developed at Base 300, the border of my territory. The spread of the cult is alarming as almost all of the ordinary citizens are being influenced."
Robin's territory is from Base 201 to Base 300.
"I also received a report about something like that from Base 355," admiral Aslan interjected.
"Isn't that one of the frontlines?"
"Yes, Admiral Yu."
"Well, I guess, the cult is already widespread. I'm guessing that the 'angel' is part of the cult." General Tom said.
He is one of the most affected in all of the generals. One of his bases was annihilated and the losses are very big. He even doubts that the base could be populated in a short while.
"I have decided, we will ask permission to speak to the two Gods of the military." General Yu said.
Meanwhile, as the four heard him, they were silenced.
There are two Gods in the military. They are Apollo and Hades. Apollo is the solar God of Greek and so was the military. At the same time, it was also the same for Hades. He is the death God of the Greeks as well as the military.
However, their existence is not known to the public. Even so, the military had ways to fuel the needs of those Gods.
"That might not be a good idea," Mari disagreed.
Although Apollo and Hades are the Gods of the military, they are not in total control of them. Their relationship is only because of the mutual benefit.
They are akin to the mercenaries hired by the military. But of course, mercenaries with high statuses.
"We have no choice," Admiral Yu answered with a helpless expression.
"We can't predict the thoughts of a God."
Sigh!
They could only sigh because Admiral Yu is determined to do so.
"It matters not, I will ask for permission to speak to the Predecessor."
Although they are publicly known as the most powerful in the military, there is another person above them. it is rumored that that person is at the ranks above the ranks of an admiral. He is known by the five as the Predecessor Benjamin.
With that, the conference had ended.
…
After the conference, Admiral Yu went out and met Predecessor Benjamin.
"Predecessor Benjamin, appointed Admiral of Bases 1 – 100 is here seeking an audience."
Admiral Yu is in one of the abandoned bases of the military from the previous era.
"Little Yu, is that you?" an aged voice sounded from inside the room.
Followed by a set of footsteps. Heading towards him.
Meanwhile, the fore the old man answered, he looked at the sky. Then, as he saw that it did not have signs of rain, he replied, "it is indeed a good day. I hope it won't rain today. Come!"
Predecessor Benjamin invited Admiral Yu inside the base.
Despite being at the ranks of an admiral, he was full of humility towards Predecessor Benjamin.
Meanwhile, Predecessor Benjamin, if it was judged through his appearance, would be akin to a neighborhood grandpa. He has the aura of an amiable old man as well as a loving man.
He has long white hair and was dressed in a Black robe.
"Little Yu, what Brings you here?"
When they were seated on a chair in front of a tea table with a rather archaic aura, the old man asked Admiral Yu's purpose. He did not believe that an appointed admiral like Admiral Yu has plenty of time to visit him.
"Predecessor Benjamin…"
Thus, Admiral Yu told him his purpose of coming here.
"So, there is another God?"
"Yes, Predecessor."
"Hmm, what is his reaction towards the two?"
"I think they are at odds."
"No, we cannot be sure of that. Those creatures are cunning."
Indeed, Predecessor Benjamin did not think so.
"I will ask them personally."
After saying that, Predecessor Benjamin stood and got ready to leave. However, before he did so, he said something else.
"The humanity will be facing a crisis, be prepared."
With that, Predecessor Benjamin left. Thus, Admiral Yu also did not linger around and left.
…
Meanwhile, Allen is inside his shrine.
He was looking at the two golden eggs and the staff.
He spent one Divine crystal and started purifying them. he could not use the staff if he wants but it does not suit his authority. Thus, the best thing he could do is just to give it to his followers.
Of course, he could also forcefully alter the staff to accord it with his authority but that…well, the staff did not reach the ranks of Divine weapons. If he did not it would be no different from destroying it.
"Plague, go to my shrine in Base 300 and strengthen it."
Allen said as he gave a dozen of Divine crystals to him. Of course, he also did not forget to put a seal on them in case someone was attracted to them.
As for Allen, he is not planning to linger on the shrine. He wanted to roam the world.
With a thought, the glowing body started to dim and become akin to a normal human's body. However, he still exudes an aura akin to od a God.
Thus, he took out the amulet that was given to him by the Ratatoskr.
As he looked at it, he smiled. He cannot deny that his horizons were indeed somewhat broadened by the Ratatoskr.
It was his first time seeing a creature that could fool the senses of a Divine Spirit.
"It was no doubt, this era is more fun than mine."
