Hero of Darkness

Chapter 349 Divide & Conquer

2 DAYS LATER

On the southern end of the capital Aesir, a secret meeting was held inside a 2 kilometer long castle that was situated in a valley.
And the number of people that came to attend this meeting were in thousands.

Yet the atmosphere was extremely quiet and all the guests were given a large table of their own as every single one of them was a representative or a leader of their respective organization.

The professions of these people didn ’t belong to the government, military, business world and any clan or faction.

Rather, all of them ruled the different side of the world.

The Underworld.

On the very first day of his arrival, Kahn had ordered Omega, Jugram and Oliver with a particular task after his meeting with the two semi-saint commanders.

And this was the exact purpose of that task he told them to accomplish.

The current Kahn was many times wiser and planned 5 steps ahead after learning through his mistakes in the past.
So without leaving any aspect that would become a problem for his rule in the Verlassen fiefdom, he had already included the underworld in his plans.

And as per Kahn ’s orders, all of them had been posing as extremely wealthy customers by changing their appearance and making connections with these top criminal organizations of the underworld.

And using Elijah & Niklaus, who pledged their fealty to him later, Kahn received an additional set of helping hands.

Since both the brothers were natives of Verlassen, they didn ’t have any problems while searching for their headquarters of thousands of criminal organizations and later, the covenant soldiers had raided and confiscated all their fortunes, networks and belonging as the People ’s Court started.

Within just two weeks, Kahn ’s army of gray armored soldiers ran a crusade against all the criminal organizations and caught their leaders as well as the ones who aided them in any way.

In the following weeks, all these leaders were brought to the People ’s Court and executed after the public votes declared them guilty.

Currently, all criminal organizations became leaderless and out of order.
And soon, the majority of them were having a war in between them to take over the position of the leaders.

This was Kahn ’s plan all along.
To weaken them even before he made any moves himself.

And with no proper leaders..
They were as unorganized as a troop of new soldiers without a captain.

Kahn had simply dismantled the whole structure of the underworld that previously ran the fiefdom from shadows.
And now..
They were like headless chickens in his eyes.

What remained now were the self-proclaimed leaders who barely managed to hold the position after the massacre between their own forces.
The situation was dire and hence, when Oliver, Jugram & Omega offered all these people to come for a secret meeting and even after a hundred million gold just for showing up most of them happily accepted the invitation.

But what shook them all was that they weren ’t the only ones who were invited.
Even a group of 50 was acceptable but more than a thousand people, all of whom were the current heads of the underworld organizations in their respective cities and regions were gathered under the same room.

But unlike braindead morons, these people understood that whatever was about to happen..
Would greatly impact their rule in the fiefdom and hence, most of them quietly awaited the hosts to clarify the situation to them.

At the end of the grand hall where all the leaders were seated on their respective round tables with their people, three individuals stood like powerful and prestigious figures.

A silver wolfkin, a blonde halfbreed Tengu and a 3 meter tall redhead muscular man stood on a podium as the main hosts of this meeting.

These three were none other than Omega in his Raiden form, Oliver as Icarus and Jugram in his Dante appearance.

Namely the names of their alternate identities as the members of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The chatter amongst all the guests continued for an hour and finally, after all the listed people came to the meeting, Raiden walked in front and spoke in his domineering voice.

”Thank you everyone, for accepting our invitations and appearing for this meeting in good faith.

As many of you can already guess, the reason why we have gathered all of you the leaders of what remains of the underworld after the new sovereign, Kahn Salvatore ’s purge of the leaders of your respective organizations; isn ’t an insignificant matter. ” spoke Omega and his tyrannical voice resounded in the entire hall.

And the very next second

BOOM!!!

Three deathly and tyrannical auras filled the entire 1 kilometer long gathering hall as the three subordinates finally revealed their true strength to everyone who came for this meeting.

”Peak grandmasters!! All three of them are peak grandmasters! ” shouted some of the leaders in disbelief.

Peak grandmasters were rare in verlassen and only seen in the military so far.
But now, not just one but three peak grandmasters suddenly revealing themselves shocked all of them.

”To be honest..
The one to summon all of you isn ’t us.
But the one we serve with complete loyalty. ” spoke Raiden.

In the following moments, the entire hall was suddenly filled with black fog and everyone was instantly surrounded by it.

But before anyone could make a scene, an extremely powerful and oppressive aura froze all of their bodies in just a second.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Soon, the black fog moved towards the podium and coalesced around a giant red throne.

And when the fog finally faded a middle-aged man with a beard as well as long black and strands of gray hair on the sides of his head finally came to be.

Semi-saint!

The man who suddenly appeared on the throne was a legitimate semi-saint based on his aura alone.

”Ladies and gentlemen we would like to introduce you to our master. ” spoke Raiden.

And in a vehement voice, he finally introduced this semi-saint donned in a black longcoat.

”Lord Zeus! ”
