Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Humanity as a species was quite fascinating. Physically, we were not the strongest of the Earth's inhabitants. In terms of muscle and size, we were even smaller than horses.

Yet it was not humans who pulled chariots. We could not fly or breathe under water, yet we controlled the oceans and the seas. From that point on, didn't the lines between what humans could and couldn't do become blurred?

The might of humanity has always been innovation. We were problem solvers. We banded together when we encountered a problem we could not solve alone. All of our inventions were purely to solve a particular problem.

Fast forward a few years and humanity has evolved to staggering heights, all because humans have never stopped innovating. As we saved more time on simple tasks, our problems slowly became more complex to what they have become today.

One of our most basic problems was safety. We could be killed by wild animals or die from the environment. For these reasons, we trained our bodies and developed tools.

When that was not enough, we built homes and inventions to manipulate everything from the temperature of a room to the weather of a region.

Humans should have bowed down to the world around us. But instead, we learned, adapted, and eventually dominated the Earth. When we became the apex predator of the Earth, we turned to killing each other.

And sadly, it was inevitable that humanity on Earth would find better and better ways to kill people. That was why guns were invented. But what if we could focus that energy on Hellsgate instead? In fact, it was a fucking mystery why no one wanted to.

How was it that Hellsgate remained medieval despite the years? There were transport type {Fates} in the Graveyard. But why was it that for all the time that passed. No one in Hellsgate wanted to innovate?

For example, why was something as useful as cars or cement not used when it could have been? They already had laptops and generators, used by the dispatch office. why did they stop there?

I didn't know the reason. It could have been because the bastards in Hellsgate were old fucks. I mean, they didn't want to use guns for the same reason.

Of course, you could argue that it was logistically impossible or whatever, but I never cared about such things. For me. It was simple.

Trinity and Iris fought a shadow war on Earth, not Hellsgate. Why was that? Because the concerns of Hellsgate directly affected Earth.

Liv once shared my doubts. As she rested in bed from our intense passion, it was one of the topics that always left her puzzled.

As I embraced my Northerner from behind, she asked, pressing my hands to her chest.

"Beloved, do you know why the Revenants wish to keep the affairs of Hellsgate a secret to humans?"

"Are you sure you want to talk about this now?"

"Fufu...your hands seem occupied but I am serious my love...could you please humor me?"

Sensing that Liv was serious, my hard-on died as I adjusted our seating position. Sensing my change, Liv quickly moved over and got more comfortable. She still pressed her body against mine though.

It was during times like these that this very tall woman acted like a spoiled child. As if she would be lost if she could not be in my embrace.

I held Liv tenderly in my arms. Her question was simple. But the answers were not.

"Have you asked the other Sirens?" I asked curtly.

"I have. None of my sisters has an answer that satisfies me. I am not trying to pressure you to answer, my love, but as one who intends to rule as king. Will you share your thoughts with me?"

"..."

"If the Revenants were to command the populations of the other continents, wouldn't the huge number of humans change the situation? Surely, amazing people and {Fates} would rise from their numbers. Exa told me that the current recorded population was 7 billion. I couldn't even understand that number the first time I heard it."

When I said nothing, even after Liv began to ramble, she bit her lip and continued.

"Beloved, please share your thoughts with me. I-I may not be as wise as the rest of the Sirens, but I will..."

Annoyed that her old inferiority complex was resurfacing, I silenced Liv by sticking my tongue down her throat. Surprised, she melted and wrapped her arms around me. After a brief but passionate exchange, I rested my forehead on hers as I spoke.

"Liv, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Um...that I am not inferior to anyone and that you love me?" She said, fidgeting.

"Good girl. You were about to say that I should rely on you even if you're stupider than the others, weren't you?"

"..."

Liv pouted adorably as she tried to hide her face. Of course, considering that her massive breasts were pressed against my chest, the sight made me incredibly horny. Obviously, she felt my hard-on greeting her as it touched her midsection.

"Beloved..."

"I think they do it to remain hidden." I blurted out. My answer suddenly made Liv inquisitive.

"Remain hidden?"

"Yes. The only real advantage of not ruling over the humans is that we can hide among them. A good example would be from assassins. Because the Revenants keep the rest of the world stupid, if someone wanted to hunt David in North America, it would be difficult even if he were the king."

"I see what you mean, Beloved. In contrast, even in the old days of the North, everyone knew where my father was because of his status. In order to command the humans, a structure for the reapers had to be implemented."

I nodded my head and kissed Liv on the forehead.

"I don't know why, but I have even more reason to believe that this is the case. The truce seems to be of the same nature. I mean, if David and the rest of his group were so powerful, why did they need to limit the Formless in the first place? The only thing I could think of was that they were waiting or hiding from something."

"Maybe they were waiting for something that would win them the war? If the world ended before you were born, my love, then it would have been all for nothing," Liv added, resting her face on my body.

"Huh? You think I'm some kind of savior?" I quipped.

"I do."

"W-What?"

"I think you are, my love. That you will be the one to end this war. I have believed it ever since I saw you fight that Brute during the enlistment. I believe you are the one the world has been waiting for."

"..."

Liv said such things in passing, but her words never left me. Innovation had always started and ended with people. Edison invented the light bulb. The Wright Brothers made flight possible. Even though many people in their time were capable of doing the same. It had to be them.

And somehow my mind began to piece together the events leading up to that moment. While there were transport type {Fates}, only Lilly could create a doorway to Earth and Hellsgate.

But before she met me, she couldn't. This was because she was stuck at level 4. Funnily enough, even if she could somehow, she said that {Code} was what allowed her to do it.

So if Isabella Taurus and Lilly Browning never shared {Fates}, it would still not have been possible to bring cars and cement mixers into Hellsgate.

Similarly, there may have been monsters before Roach who wanted to rebel against the Hellsgate hierarchy. But without the {fates} of Jo and Reuben Alford, no one would have been able to understand him.

Our actions in the past affected the present. Without {Rewind} and {Eat} Lilly would have always lacked stamina, so she couldn't have abused {Portal}. Not to the extent that we do now. And honestly. Without me, the Sirens would never even have met.
