Chapter 142: Undercurrent
Chapter 142: Undercurrent
Yasrib. For the first time. The Capital was in deep silence.
The Silence was stone cold. Like that the calm before the storm. That DayA Dragon was offended.
And from then onThere was a radio silence from the State, the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Sentences.
The stench of blood seemed only waiting to appear. As all the tension could be seen on the soldiers faces.
There were no casualties in the previous confrontation, but the insult was still there.
Zoldyck Family this name was heard, but not comprehended.
The only thing they knewIs that a considerable enemy appeared and the Empire needs to swiftly deal with it.
The Office.
Four hidden Monsters were ruminating their own thoughts. They all had their eyes shut. In deep meditation.
All state affairs were temporary delegated to lower ranking officers.
In the Training yard of the 5 Imperial Knights, Hellish training was taking place. A certain woman was fighting since that day
Sounds of battle roamed day and night. In the last few weeks, they trained a few years' worth!!
In the Imperial Palace. A Blond Haired Princess was smiling mysteriously as she looked in the direction of the west. Her Brother, The Second Prince had also an intense and pensive gaze.
All the Factions of the Empire seemed to come to a sort of mutual understanding.
That is to waitUntil
Suddenly news was delivered to all the Higher Ups:
"The Saharos Emperor has reawakened from his Reverie."
Immediately!! Powerful Auras started appearing all over Yasrib!!
4 Monstrous Powers from the Office!
5 From the Knights Palace!!!
10 From the Imperial Palace!!!
All the citizens deeply felt it. This was something of grave importance.
"He convenes a Meeting of All the Leaders of the Nation."
The 19 Demons. Each one of their power was engraved in the Legends.
They all gathered. Slowly, swiftly.
Finally their power dimmed out as they all arrived at their destination.
On the highest buildings of Yasrib. A Hooded man was looking at the whole scene from above.
Within the crowd, some hooded people were strutting the streets, in secrecy.
The Man sitting on the Highest Peak had an elegant smile:
"Finally they are about their move."
"Did you see that? Ezio"
On the other side of the Continent. Hidding in the darkness of the Supreme Council. A Handsome man had his eyes shut
"It took them some time"
"WellIt seems their emperor was somewhat busy."
He narrowed his eyes
"Is it still impossible to get into the Imperial Palace?"
The Hooded Man sighed:
"Not for nowThis Palace was built by the Legendary Lorengar Vega himself. And reinforced by countless Vega Dynasty Emperors afterwards."
"It is iron clad. Nothing can escape."
He sighed:
"Only the Named ones could have a shot at getting in, for now"
There was a swift smile on Ezio's face:
"You seem to have an idea."
The Man standing on top of the building:
"Sooner or Later. I will get in."
Ezio nodded:
"Survey the area, nothing outside should escape your sight. No Matter what decision is made there."
"There is bound to be a reaction from the different factions."
The Man nodded:
"Do not worryWithin one hour of the end of their little reunion. I will deliver some information."
Ezio sighed:
"Good JobI am not sure if beings within the named one's level of existence, could keep low profile for a long time in Yasrib."
"This citygives me a deep sense of mystery."
"For nowKeep the good job."
"I will do my bestEzio."
The Telepathic link was cut off as the Leader of the Brotherhood regained his bearing.
In front of himOne after another appeared the members of the Supreme Council.
Euphemia, Cornelia, C.C, Schneizel, Gakuki, SilvaSoon, Ezio also made his appearance, to the acknowledgement of everyone.
Suddenly the door opened up. And two men appeared side by side. The First one was familiar.
He was the Grand Vizir of His Majesty: Lelouch.Vi. Britania.
It was the person by his side who left many wondering. The Cape he was wearing had the Glorious Symbol of a Gigantic Red Hawk.
A Symbol of Tyranny and Power. His face was arrogant, his eyes haughty and aloof.
They both nodded to everyone as they both presided the Council as equals. The directives of The Emperor were clear. If the decision was political. It was to be carried out by the Grand Vizir.
If it was a Military operation. It was of the resort of the First Marshall.
The both had an implicit agreement. And the Supreme Council proceeded swiftly.
NoIt proceeded better than expected. Madara was always a cunning, scheming and intelligent character.
But he was no Aizen, after all.
He was bad at internal politics, and crowd manipulation. If this wasn't the case, the Uchiha Clan would had much more advantages and would not have entered this Alliance of Konoha as the loser of the deal.
He would have already secured the Second Hokage position by manipulating several clans.
He would have convinced his clan to follow him when he left.
The Madara they knew is only a strong and Powerful leader when he is all powerful and mighty.
His schemes could only be put to place when the other party is way out of his league. That's why when another powerful person like Hashirama Senju appeared, he lost all the ships he had.
The Uchiha clan was now under the Shade of The First Kage. And there was nothing he could do.
That's why even more were surprised by his insights
This was not Madara Uchiha's mind. No this was Uchiha Madara's mind upgraded several levels.
This was the Madara Uchiha who followed Marek Vega in years, who roamed the Mutliverse with him when he was young. And who destroyed the Otsutski Clan under his orders. Madara would never admit it.
But he held deep admiration for his elder brother, as much as he held deep affection for his younger ones.
The insightful Vizir could even detect some of the piercing insight, and even some mannerism of the Emperor on him.
Some could also see the deep and calm wisdom of the First Empress and the Craftiness of the Second.
Lelouch sighed:
'And another monster is added to the rooster.'
His eyes were gleaming with joy:
'It seems I won't have to deal with a muscle head. Good job, your Majesty.'
Finally. It was Euphemia's turn to speak:
"The Devils have ended the greatest part of their work."
"Only the Three Cities are left to be built."
"But I don't think his Majesty, would allow the devils to build such strategic cities for now."
Madara narrowed his eyes, knowing where this was going but kept silent. Lelouch smiled:
"You are right. A Magical City needs to be build by Magicians."
" A Scientific Citadelle need to be built by Scientists."
"And An Imperial City needs to be built by the Imperial Family."
"The Emperor has already decided on the Magic System, that the Empire will use."
"It is the one that is the most suitable for a Multiversal Empire like ours."
"And it's not the DxD Magic System nor Earthland's one"
"We already have a shortlist of potential mages too. The Project will start after his Majesty is back."
The moment they heard that, all of the vizirs got tense. MagicThis was a thing they looked forward to.
As Vizirs, even if they role is political. Who never dreamed of using magic or superpowers?
And of courseThe most Important is that in a world where monsters resided in every corner even the citizen needed ways to defend themselves.
Let alone, them, who had targets on their back.
Lelouch laughed, looking affectionately at his Sister:
"I know what you think"
"Since the Ambassador City is built too. It's time to fulfill our side of the deal. Indeed."
Madara smirked:
"I will do it."
The Members of the Council all looked a little surprised.
"I am also quite interested in those 'Satans' who dared to attack the Emperor."
Lelouch sighed:
'No matter how refined. A muscle head will always be a muscle head after all.'
