Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 618: Wait for me. [1/2]



The meeting was quite eventful. The Sirens and Amari brought much needed experience to the discussions.

While the 2nd Amendment was experienced in dealing with the common rank F's, such experience would not be enough for the deeper levels.

Leo and Nyda reported on the undead they encountered around the 20th floor. It turned out that Hellsgate's enemies rotated as a whole. Since I only fought the first ten levels, they were mostly dumb as fuck zombies.

But apparently from the 20th floor down, the monsters mixed with the undead change every month. The Cyclops and Spikedogs were left over from the wilderness monsters. As the end of the month approached, the other members of the wave were dying out.

The Lizardkin were the main group at the moment. Each wave of monsters was led by a king. Once the king or alpha was gone, the undead and monsters began to tear each other apart. When I considered Roach's explanation, it made sense.

According to his words, the monsters of the higher levels enslaved the lower ones. And those at the bottom of the totem pole are the ones forced to bear the brunt of humanity.

Since their goal was to evolve from evil, they either died to humans or grew stronger.

If they managed to survive, much like Roach, they would go deeper. Probably displacing the weaker monsters and repeating the process anew. Much like the reapers, the monsters seem to have their own values, rules, and society.

This allowed us to learn one crucial fact. They kept the undead out of necessity, not because they liked them. That was the reason why the monsters and the undead did not have to work together.

When I fought the Cyclops on the plains, they would step on F-class monsters and smash them without any remorse. On the other hand, when I fought the Undertakers, Brutes, Giants, and Chiefs, they took care of the common zombies.

Such things made me think about the nature of combat in Hellsgate. As I mussed, the Sirens discussed the defenses of the battlefront. Bella, Jo, Robyn and Aki all gave points on how to defend it.

"My lady, I understand what you are trying to say, but it is simply not possible at this time." Joshua, representing the squad commanders, was the only one who could refuse the girls.

"Look, you slit-eyed wanker, I am telling you, if you do not cover these places, we will be infiltrated through them. This is how I would enter if I wanted to hide from the guards."

"I understand Lady Rhiannon, but we cannot spare the men. We can increase the frequency of the rotations. It is impossible to post people permanently in these places.

Perhaps we can have Lady Minerva use the soulless?"

"We could do that, but my ability to detect and respond to incoming attacks would be greatly reduced. It is a waste to station my children in those places. Our goal should be to defend against the undead. The reapers can come after," Bella countered.

"Minerva, I see your point. But fighting humans is much worse. It is common to send spies months before the actual attack. I agree with Rhia, focusing on the undead seems unwise."

"That's because you two are powerful assassins, Inari. If we concentrate our forces in a smaller area, we won't be able to reinforce the outskirts even if we find a threat."

"AH, I know! Why don't we use the brainless instead!" Jo interjected as she clapped.

"What?"

"The brainless, all we need are basically security cameras, right? I can order the brainless to serve as our guards! If you can find me an Undertaker or a Chief, we can use them to spread a net. Our enemies would not even know that the undead would be our eyes."

"..."

Such things were repeated throughout the meeting. The Sirens would suggest a plan or find a weakness, and Joshua would say it was impossible, only to be proven wrong a few seconds later. Whatever the problem, the Sirens always had a solution.

"Let's give zombie corpses {Withstand} and use them as wall filler." "Create a vanguard unit with monsters that have poisoned blood." "Place C4 charges inside Chuckies and use them as moving grenades. "Let the zombies hold guns and create a unit that never sleeps."

The problem was that their suggestions resembled AI. They had no sense of decency or morality. And while some of the suggestions were to use the undead and monsters. Some included using the bodies of dead reapers.

More specifically, it was using reapers who had died to shattered soul gems. The Sirens wanted to create such circumstances on purpose to use them all as Bella's puppets. Slowly, everyone outside my harem understood why the Sirens were the ones I trusted the most.

Amari and Mia in particular were speechless. I mean, who wouldn't be? If Bella could control dead bodies, what was to stop her from using the Reapers' corpses?

With {Gather} and Aki's expertise in psychology, I knew they would eventually create assassins using this tactic.

It was too good not to use it. The only thing that would have stopped other people would have been morals. And my harem and I, while observing some, were quite flexible.

While Liv, Lilly and Jas made their own suggestions, since they were part of Hammer, they were more reserved. After all, even if their suggestion was great, if the one who could execute it was not present, it made no sense.

When I heard how the Siren's planned to make up for Hellsend's lack in their own way, I was pleased. After all, the cause of all the problems was that I had asked them to cover a large area with too few men. But my harem was up to the task.

This was the strength of humanity. That is what allowed us to fly. This was what allowed us to land on the moon. And this is what would allow us to close the Hellsgate.

And that was before taking into account the rest of Hellsend. From the effects of {Bestow} to the production and additional training of the Siren squads, I grew hopeful.

It was rather sad that I had to leave. But I knew that at the rate we were going, Hellsend would move forward even without me.

It took us a few good hours to work everything out. The plans we made were steps to fortify the battlefront. Bella and Lilly even created a migration charter for any Reaper who wanted to become a citizen of my domain.

It was pretty cool to see such things come to life. But in the end, it was way over my head.

I was so glad the girls were here. Primarily because I had no interest or talent for management.

I liked things simple. But for my harem, who were doing their best for me, I tried to understand as much as I could.

When it was finally over, Lilly ended the meeting. She along with Liv and Jas left with the rest of the people, saying they needed to work out some details.

This left me with the members of the Anvil team. After the door was closed, the girls all had dark expressions on their faces.

It was no coincidence that all the members of the Hammer team were leaving. This was probably their last gift to their sisters. Feeling that the ball was in my court, I called out to my lovely girls.

"Honey, Darling, Kitten, Kamisan. Can you please come closer?"

At my words, the girls all began to tremble. Their bodies were drowning in fear and anxiety. I didn't even have to guess why. Since we triumphed over the Alpha, I will be leaving with the rest of the Hammer in the morning.

Seeing their hesitation, I summoned three Soul Avatars. Together with Sunday, we reached for our designated Siren and took her into our embrace.

Immediately my girls broke down. I knew they all wanted to put up a strong front. But their links showed me their raw emotions.
