"War...?" Eilish furrowed her brows.

"Yeah, I asked our fellow warriors before they left, and guess what, a big incident occurred in God's Continent." Souta paused for a moment before he continued, "One of the Seven Deadly Sins finally bared his fangs. Gluttony took down a large country called Eru Empire and obliterated all the gods that were protecting it."

"What about our place, the Hall Plains?" Eilish asked.

"Eru Empire is far from Hall Plains but there's a chance that the higher-ups will dispatch us. Hall Plains is close to Olympus so the battle will not reach us easily. Plus, most of the gods didn't leave their territory. So even if Gluttony is powerful he wouldn't easily invade the territory of a Holy Land. After all, every Holy Land concentrated its forces on its territory. This way they could preserve the lives of the gods and strengthen their force at the same time."

Most of the criminal organizations that were hiding in the dark were watching their movements. They were waiting for one god to come out and assassinated that one god. This was especially the case for the Three Bringers of Calamity.

An incident like this happened in the past. A newly ascended god secretly left their territory so one of the Bringers of Calamity used this chance to assassinate that god. When that occurred a big battle broke out between the Holy Land and one of the Three Bringers of Calamity. Both sides suffered casualties but it didn't lead to the extermination of one side.

That's why most of the gods that left their territory weren't alone. They were also equipped with various escape talismans and at least one universal grade.

The Three Bringers of Calamity were strong but they weren't united. Even the Seven Deadly Sins were moving on their own accord. Gluttony moved on his own will. No one ordered him and no one among the other Deadly Sins cared about him.

Their bases were also hidden.

That's why the Great Countries, Holy Lands, and other huge factions from other continents couldn't exterminate this threat.

"Then, what about the demons? According to the information, the demons sent a Demon Pillar to the Giza Continent to conquer a large country. Why didn't the Bringers of Calamity assassinate that Demon Pillar?" Eilish asked.

"It's simple, the Bringers of Calamity wanted to see the demons fight the top faction in the Giza Continent in an all-out battle. They will appear once both sides suffer." Souta explained.

It's also a deadlock. The Great Countries couldn't send gods to take back the large country since they were wary about the movements of the Bringers of Calamity. If the Bringers of Calamity killed the Demon Pillar then there's a chance that peace would be achieved just to eliminate them. That's what the Bringers of Calamity didn't want to happen.

They were moving carefully to avoid the scenario of powerful factions from different continents working together.

"Then now that Gluttony moves..." Eilish didn't finish her words as she imagined what would happen.

"Yep, once the Holy Lands confirmed that this isn't a trap, they would send gods to fight Gluttony. But for now, they will test the waters using us. No one knew if Gluttony was still in Eru Empire after he took it down." Souta nodded.

"Then, the demons will advance, right?" Eilish said.

Souta nodded gravely.

"In other words, a series of large-scale battles will occur like a chain reaction and Gluttony is the one that pulled the trigger." Eilish understood.

Souta knew that a lot of factions would use this chance. The small factions under the Bringers of Calamity were moving relentlessly for a few months now. They were creating chaos and testing different experiments just like the Red Matter Association.

The Red Matter Association was just one of the many organizations under the Bringers of Calamity.

"What will happen to us...?" Eilish asked unsurely.

"Don't worry, this is the reason why we joined the Athen's Champion. Even though the gods wouldn't appear to save us, it would still make other people have second thoughts about attacking our base. That's good enough for us." Souta said to her. If Souta wasn't under Olympus, a lot of factions would try to get a piece of Hall Plains. Even Ekatoe City might fall. Even the Wingless Crow would directly invade his territory to kill him.

"The name of Olympus is enough to intimidate an organization without any god. Even if there's a god among them, they wouldn't carelessly attack us."

Eilish nodded at his words.

Souta knew that the Wingless Crow could only do this. Once he returned to Imperium, they would barely have a time to assassinate him. Plus, almost everyone knew that he had tamed the Nine-Headed Hydra so if they wanted to attack his base they should at least bring Hero-rank. Maybe, if they reserve energy for a long time like the one that the Hall of Power did they could seal Kessa again.

But then... It seems that the word to him waking up had spread out.

It seems that Wingless Crow had spy on the Champion's Den and that spy saw him going to outer space. They even managed to locate the Planet Plunyx.

'This network... They are better than I thought...'

Souta wondered if the Wingless Crow was this capable back in the game.

Knock! Knock!

Souta and Eilish turned their heads to the door.

"What is it?" Eilish asked.

"Lady Eilish, a person asked us if he could meet Lord Souta." a voice sounded behind the door.

about it. You're with me the entire time. The only person that I could think of is that elf, Aerin. But she didn't know our identity so Eilish glanced at him as if asking if he knew about it.

Souta shrugged his shoulder while shaking his head. "I don't know about it. You're with me the entire time. The only person that I could think of is that elf, Aerin. But she didn't know our identity so it's not possible."

"Do you want to meet that person or not? I'll send them away if you don't want to." Eilish asked.

"Well, let that person inside," Souta said.

"Okay, I'll call him. Please, wait for a while." a voice sounded behind the door.

Souta's senses followed the maid. He soon found out the person that wanted to meet him was none other than the hero that was summoned to this world. It was outside of his expectations.

"It's the hero." Souta turned his head and said to Eilish.

"Hero...? You mean..." Eilish raised her brows with interest in her eyes.

"Yep, the one who was summoned to this world. It's the man who was blessed by this world." Souta said with a smile.

They waited for a few seconds before the maid knocked on the door again. This time she brought the hero with her. She opened the door and let the hero inside the room. She stayed outside and closed the door.

The hero walked inside and saw Souta and Eilish staring at him.

"You can sit." Souta pointed at the vacant chair.

The hero nodded and sat down.

Souta rubbed his chin and asked, "How did you know that I'm here?"

"I could only think about God's Messenger. The people that I've fought aren't from this world. I couldn't even defeat one of them even with my power so I think that the only ones who could defeat them are people that aren't from this world." The hero answered.

"So you are sure that there's no one in this world that could defeat you, right?" Souta smiled.

"Yeah, I can control the laws and concepts here so the people of this world will not be able to match me." The hero said before he snapped his finger and a looming aura oozed out of his body.

Souta looked around and noticed that every shadow in the area have disappeared.

It should be happening in the entire world...

The hero glanced at Souta's feet and saw that he still had a shadow. "I've erased the concept of shadow so it shouldn't exist but it didn't even affect you."

Souta smiled and pointed at Eilish's feet. "Eilish didn't have a shadow yet she's not from this world. It's not that it didn't affect me because I'm from another world. It's just that I'm stronger than you. My power is above the scope of any laws or concepts of a sub-world with a level of mid-grade."

Souta fixed his posture and said, "In short you are weaker than me, an expert who broke a great shackle isn't someone you can handle. Well, you can fight them to a certain degree due to your power and this world but it's not enough to defeat even the weakest Four Shackles."

"I don't know about it... In my world, I'm the strongest one. I have all the knowledge in the universe but then I heard a voice in my head. It's calling to me and presenting a contract. I heed the call and arrived here." The hero said.

"Wait... You're not from the Mother so a Boundary or maybe a Region." Souta nodded.

"What are you talking about?" The hero asked with a confused look.
