“For eleven thousand, six-hundred years we have fought against the Grimms, billions died, but today everything ended,”
“As the supreme commander of humans, I declare the war is over,” said Supreme Commander to millions of people gathered in front of us, who cheered as they heard those words.
It had been three months since I killed the big Grimm, and since then, we have been hunting all over the world in the ruins, realms, and vestiges. They were hiding everywhere but reached them and killed the bastards.
I am sure, we have not finished killing all of them, only an idiot would be sure of that, but I know we have killed more than 95% of them.
The rest will be killed, too; as we might have officially said, the war is over, but hunting teams are still searching for them, and they will keep searching for years till every Grimm is dead.
The cheers of millions of humans have lasted for minutes before they finally calmed down.
“As the sign of our victory, we will plant a seed where the most powerful Grimm fell; this seed will grow into the tree and be a sign of our victory, ages to come,” she said and asked me to move ahead.
I flew ahead, holding a seed in the clay plate while millions of eyes looked at me; I could feel their gazes and the weight they contained; it couldn’t help but make me shake.
We were hiding and lying about many things, like this place being where the big Grimm fell, but not all.
The pyramid had decided to be truthful about who killed the biggest Grimms, and I accepted the glory, not for me but also for my family, Marina, and, most importantly, the academy.
I landed on the ground gently and crouched down before parting the soul from my hands gently.
It is all choreographed; there is a huge formation laid inside, covering over hundred miles. All the people who had come for the victory speech are covered in it, and they will help the seed grow.
When enough earth is moved, I place the seed inside the earth, exactly at the center of the formation, which is hidden from most, and cover it back with the earth.
As I finished, a shining crystalline stream of water appeared from above and fell on the earth.
“The seed is not only a symbol of victory but also our faith in each other; it is due to this faith we have survived thousands of years against the Grimm before defeating them for good,” I said slowly, but my sound could be heard miles away.
“So, I want you all to pray for this seed, that it will grow and become a mighty tree that will help our world heal,” I said loudly, and I could see all the humans praying, and a sliver of faith created from it is gathered by the formation and fed to the seed.
This seed is the seed of the world tree, one of three which had been found by old man Gatlin.
He had given one to me, which I had planted in my core; this one is second; I have to tell him what it is exchanged, and now, that old man had asked me to help plant one in his organizations as well.
The seeds of the world tree are rare; it is a miracle that old man found them because the benefit they could provide is immense.
We have staged this event here and even released some info about the seed we are going to plant, as we planned to make it a faith tree.

The seed of the world tree could become anything, but the faith tree will be best for our world. It will grow through the faith of the people of this world, such trees help in mending the world, and we need it desperately.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m
Our world is damaged, and this tree will be extremely useful in healing it if we are able to grow it.
There was an easy way; I could have used Grimms to grow it in my core and then plant it outside, but then it would not have been a faith tree but something else. It is a great risk, but one everyone agreed to take.
The old man also chose the risky way; he wanted the tree suitable for his organization. I couldn’t help but admire him for it, as I don’t think I would have dared to take such a risk.
I wish he had the extra seed; I would have loved to plant one in the academy. I could have used this seed, but the world is more important than the organization.
I stayed looking for more than a minute before a smile appeared on my face; I sensed the change, it was small, but I sensed it. The faith had clicked with the seed; it will increase the chances of it growing successfully would increase tremendously.
“Thank you all for your prayers; I am sure, with it, the seed will definitely germinate,” I said, and the people cheered.
I waved and flew back to the stage amidst the Grand Lords.
‘What are the chances of it germinating?’ Professor asked, and she was not the only one who asked the question. ‘70%,’ I replied to her and everyone else who asked.
A few hours passed, and the speeches continued; every Grand Lord had given a speech. It is an honor of a lifetime that the generation will cherish.
So, it is important that every Grand Lord participate, and it is not just Grand Lords, but High-Grandmasters and Grandmasters, along with exceptional Tyrant and lower powerhouses who made great contributions, had also been invited on the stage.
Those who sacrificed themselves had also been honored.
We have erected tens of thousands of pillars in the place and, on them, carved the name of billions who had died; there is no single name we have left behind.
It was not just people who died in this war but in all wars and the fight against the Grimms. They have sacrificed their lives for the world and deserve to be remembered for ages.
“Thank you, I hope each of you will visit this memorial once in your life to honor the sacrifices people have made,” said Supreme Commander in her last speech and disappeared, and with her, the rest.
It is not over; for a whole month, there will be programs here and in every part of the world, as this will be the last time the world will be so united.
We are naïve to think we will be unified forever; there will be peace till this generation, but the conflict will start after, as it did after Ramona Hawthorn and her excellency had sent the Grimms to their fortress.
From tomorrow, the negotiations will begin; as more than half of the territory of the world had been in the hands of the Grimms, and now they are dead, it was time to divide it.
Though this place will be neutral, I had asked for a vow and written guarantee about its neutrality. No matter what happens in the future, this place will never be attacked; there is a huge stele with that promise with a signature from all the organizations.
From King to Supremes, every organization had signed it.
