Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Apart from Lilly, would any of them have survived the enlistment in the first place? Not just the Sirens, would my {Vassals} and the rest of my people have better or worse fates?

I was the one who brought them all here. And because of {Rewind} and the Sirens, we slowly changed the way Hellsgate fought.

To put it bluntly, I was the spark of that innovation. Just like the steam engine sparked the Industrial Revolution, I was the impetus for Hellsgate's sudden transformation.

And while there were many dangers, the effects of my decisions have already begun to trickle down. The Sacred and {Bestow} were some of them. Cynthia and Addison both said it would change the way the production reapers worked.

The Sacred, in turn, bred Benevols. And the more that happened, the safer our future assault teams would be.

A spark was all that was needed.

Afterwards Innovation was hard to stop. My actions had already begun the change. And while the other things were good, the fact that we now had a highway to Earth was by far the greatest change.

Earth, unlike Hellsgate, never stopped innovating. Instead of shying away, I wanted to take the advanced civilization of the current era and bring it to Hellsgate.

This was the power of humanity. It made no sense to separate the fate of the Reapers from that of the humans.

If we died out, they would die to the undead. Given enough time, if they died, so would we. Our lives were one and the same. And while I respected the Revenant's rules about hiding for the moment, everything else was fair game.

Mia and Amari, taken aback by my words, remained silent. Feeling the need to elaborate, I continued.

"Humanity developed society to make life easier. That way we could concentrate on the more important things. The reason eggheads could devote their entire lives to research is because they didn't have to worry about starving. The reason the farmers could work with half the manpower was because the Eggheads made machines.

"Hellsgate is archaic in comparison. I do not know if that was by choice or design, but I have no reason to cling to such nonsense. As you have seen today, tell Africa and Europe that I will use the power of humanity along with everything else I can.

"And that if they still want to mess with me after all this, they better do the same or they will die a miserable death," I said through clenched teeth.

Mia made a worried face before nodding. Amari, on the other hand, frowned.

I understood why. Unlike on Earth, the other continents might not have the ability to do what the Sirens and I did. It was the same principle why landlocked countries could never become economic powers.

Access to the sea and large ships was the lifeblood of any economy. If you did not have that, you could not trade in bulk.

In the same way, if the other continents did not have something like {Portal}, they would never be able to compete with how fast my domain would develop.

Since Amari and Mia did not say anything, I ended my words there. The other squad commanders began to report on the work of their teams and their plans.

It was mostly of a defensive nature. Who was guarding what, how many groups were on patrol, what weapons they were carrying.

Mike even shared that the original shipment of weapons I had was already used up. The Derycks and Phillip were already working out the details of how they would deliver more guns. In addition, Warren and Claire shared that the army was slowly being equipped with {Bestow} ammunition.

Basically, it was bullets enhanced by {Fates}. It seems that the Ten Graves were brainstorming all the time and had already formed their own research group.

I would have liked to hear the details from Cynthia and Addison, but since they were busy at the moment, it couldn't be helped.

After half an hour, the girls finally returned, covered in blood. They lined up like children and asked me to wipe them clean. The rest of the room waited quietly without much fuss. No one spoke of proper meeting etiquette for fear of being shot.

The meeting finally began for real after the girls had settled in.

"Right. As everyone knows, we will now begin..."

"Limitless..."

Amari raised his hand with a complicated expression. I gestured for the gorilla man to speak.

"I really have no idea if you are just crazy or brave. You share everything, from how your battlefront operates to your new combat tactics. This is even knowing that an African army is coming soon. I asked for your help, but I feel uncomfortable listening to all this..."

"You are wrong."

"Huh? Are you going to say again that what we know makes no difference? You are too arrogant."

"Listen to me, you dumb fuck!" I blurted out in annoyance.

"..."

"Look. I am willing to call even monsters my allies. All because they share my goals. After all, Africa also wants to close Hellsgate, right? Or are you telling me that you are doing just fine, slowly withering away?"

"..."

Looking deep into Amari's eyes, I continued to explain.

"Amari. I have no intention of killing all the Reapers in Africa. No matter what problem I may have with the bastards coming here, it is not possible to fight deeper if the African Battlefront falls."

"..."

I looked at the rest of the room before continuing.

"My goal is to close Hellsgate. I may have problems with the other continents, but the main enemy is still the undead. I show you all this for a separate purpose. Africa and Europe are stuck in their current lands. Therefore, both are desperate. I am the key to breaking this deadlock."

Understanding my words, Amari suddenly stood up.

"What are you saying?"

"If the other continents can become stronger, it will help me as well. The 24th floor is a connecting floor. It means I can travel to the other battlefronts. Whether it is to help, deliver supplies or to raze your domains to the ground has yet to be decided. My resources, for lack of a better word, are limitless. There is no reason why I cannot share or must come to blows with everyone else."

My words caused the foreign Reapers to pause. The reason humans went to war was because they lacked something. Well, most of the time. If they could get what they needed without fighting, most would choose not to.

"Then you are showing me all this so that I can influence our people?"

"Yes. But there is something I want in return," I said with a smile.

Mia then sighed as she complained, "Let me guess, you want virgin sacrifices or something? Don't you have too many already..."

The Brit couldn't even finish her words before my girls silenced her with a look. She swallowed nervously as she raised her hands in surrender. "I was joking...it was a joke..."

"Ignoring the stupid mutt by your side, my price is simple. I want to see Africa's will. To be more precise. The will to press forward."

"The will to press forward?" Amari asked cautiously.

"Yes. This will be an offer I will make to all seven battlefronts. In exchange for my help, they must fight Hellsgate with the intention of closing it. I will settle for nothing less."

The African thought for a moment before answering.

"If that is your price, I am sure we can pay it. If there is one thing Africa has in abundance, it is the will to annihilate the undead."

His eyes were intense, I could feel the hatred for the living dead in every fiber of his being. We might have disagreed on how to deal with the Reapers. But for Africa at least, how we dealt with the undead seemed to be set in stone.

Nodding, I motioned him back to his seat.

"Then you may stay and listen. Just by your answer, you have already allied yourself with me."

With renewed strength, Amari sat down. If he had been hesitant earlier, he seemed to be ready and willing to help now. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

We might not have been allies, but we had the same enemy. And that simple idea was strong enough to build a relationship on.
