Ascension of the Nephilim

Chapter 507 Friends With Cracky



The discussion began to focus on the secret portals that the lizardman planets knew.

Many began to demand the lizardman planets why they kept this knowledge a secret.

The lizardman planets were one of the weaker planets, with their strongest warriors only at Conqueror level. While they produced more Conquerors, the world was incapable of producing Cherubims and Celestials. So while the lizardman world was more advance than the Midlands and the Lowlands, it could not have much the power that the Highlands, the southern regions of the Dark Sea, or the Netherlands!

With so many Cherubims nearby, the Lizardman leaders of the world began to spill everything they knew about the portals.

"It wasn't really a huge concern at first! We didn't care when we found out! None of us even visited the region where these portals are! There have been few portals that we found in our place. But so what? Have we ever destroyed the limits of these portals? No! We eventually just placed guards near the region! As long as the portals would not allow anything above Cardinals, we weren't worried! These portals allowed weak cultivators to move in and out, and there were political and practical regions not to guard these places! We didn't know about Middle and certainly did not know that beyond it was the Planes World!" Conqueror Lizardman Leader Guy swore.

"Lies! Leader Guy! You wanted to establish a trade with them!"

"We were not the only settlers of this land! Orcs, goblins, humans, and Dark Dependent Practitioners use the undead! We thought this world was leading to one of the nearby planets or that your planets have been connected to it! We didn't know that those golems were guarding an exit! We thought it was just a cave!" Leader Guy swore again.

"He is not lying." Bolerax stepped in.

"None of these races knew of was beyond the land. In fact, check all your portals. Maybe a few among you have a portal leading to that very place! It was only when the humans of the Lowlands discovered the real value inside the Airom that they discovered this world and found the means to control the Golems!"

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Yes. You heard me. There is a way to gain control of a Golem Celestial!"

Everyone trembled. A level 90 being was something that was out of reach! Any one of these planets would offer what they had to have such power!"

"But no one knew that. They feared the Golem Celestial. What can mere Champions and Commanders do? But these portals have suddenly weakened. So this also is one of the benefits of our raid. We head to Airom and starve out the humans! These are mere Lowland beings. And the Netherlands and the Highlands had a rule that neither group could send forces beyond the Crowns there. So if we send our team, we would have little trouble."

"Those agreements will surely end if they discover a foreign threat inside!"

"Yes. But there is another law at work." Bolerax smiled.

"The Highlands and the Netherlands have cursed the regions to ensure it. No force greater than Conquerors can move into the Lowlands. This isn't even a secret among them. It's just we never knew about it because none of us would ever dare to invade the Planesworld."

Everyone began to talk with one another.

Slowly, the plan to raid the Planesworld was getting more and more enticing for everyone.

The chance to control a Celestial Golem could change the hierarchy of the nearby planets!

"...We would still be outnumbered." Xulas was finally assessed.

"The ranks of Conquerors are the peak of many nations. On some planets, a Conqueror would mean one of our own lines. Against all the Conquerors of the Highlands, it would be chaotic. You are the only ones who can truly benefit from this!"

"We, too will be sending our Conquerors. And my brother is already down there. We cannot send anyone anymore as we also have our bottom lines in our defenses. So we need backup. We do know more than you. But those things that we've revealed to you are true. The Half-Fallen race is truly a dare. But even if it's not, you already have confirmation that a Golem of Celestial power is there. Leader Guy, tell them about those 'special golems'." Bolerax smiled.

Everyone turned to the lizardman.

"...There were numerous golem forms. But among them were a few powerful golems-wielding elements. At first, they were only at the level of Champions. But now, one of them had peak Commander strength within a span of months!"

"Months?! Just months to scale those levels?!" Xulas exclaimed.

Even Tathar was surprised. Even the best would take years for a Champion to become a commander! A decade to scale the ranks wasn't even considered slow! Yet months passed, and a Golem became a Commander who was a step away from becoming Cardinal!

"What are its limits?! How did that happen?" Tathar asked.

"We don't know what its limits are! But these creatures grow at an incredible rate. Faster than any dark-dependent creature we have seen! When these reports were released, we began to think of ways to breach the portal. But we cannot find a way to lower the restrictions."

"Can these... golems become... celestials?" A Conqueror asked.

"The more important question that you should ask is if other Dark Dependents can use these methods." Bolerax smiled.

Everyone became silent as this thought became engraved like a parasite in them.

"Then what is there else to talk about? But, first, tell us the strategy of our entry."

Bolerax smiled.

"We enter through the Midlands. That region has the weakest shields and is the easiest entry point. My brother is also with an Incubus with powers possibly from the lost Corruption of Xermolipi. So be careful in sending your women. They might not come back the same."

"An Incubus?! How certain are you that it's of a lost Corruption?!"

"I trust Greater God Sheolrah visited each of your regions. I suggest you delay any plans to inform her of any information. That Succubus is probably the same Cracky Batcheeks being sought! Whatever is happening down in the Planesworld, it must be something involving numerous heritages. Cracky Batcheeks, the rise of the Steele family that I'm certain is being reported to the Lizardkin... the power of these Golems, and who knows what else? I know that all of you have found inheritances and other destined legacies for your tribe. You all have awakened one recently, correct?" Bolerax gazed at everyone.

Some could not hide their expression of surprise that Bolerax knew.

Others were stunned that they were not the only ones who had found something.

"We are at a tipping point of history. A great and important battle that will dictate the state of this universe is coming! You can tell Greater God Sheolrah that you found Cracky Batcheeks and be rewarded by her power. Or you can hide it, and we can claim these heritages and create a second Heretic War where a few among us will rise to be gods or fallen!" Bolerax dared everyone.

Down in the Planes World...

"And that is the plan." Breveros explained with intricate detail what the plans were.

Nightwing even gathered a lot of information about the Steele Family, the Emberdons, the Lizard kingdoms, and the current state of the Lowlands.

Nightwing nodded in understanding, but he could not help but continue to feel sorry for Breveros.

"What an unlucky guy. He just told me the plans of the Eldrich..." Nightwing sighed.

"Nightwing. I told you my plans. What of yours? Your two succubus had taken control of these kingdoms and forced them towards the Midlands. You seduced Princess Listrel to make these Lowland nations rise with permission, correct?" Breveros asked.

"Yes and no. I couldn't control Princess Listrel. As if my darkness could permanently taint Protos Endoxus. To simplify what I did, I simply asked her a favor. She agreed, and that's the end of it. As for that two succubi, it's a trap for the Steele Family. Suppose I can make them think that they have a backing of an army behind them. And soon, when our forces arrive, the Midlands will team with them to fight our forces. But at the right moment, I execute the command."

"A kill command! To kill them from within!"

"Yes. My succubus will lead all those men to their deaths by betraying their allies! I call it, Order 66!"

"I see! What a cunning plan! As expected of someone who defeated me!" Breveros approved.

Nightwing smiled and nodded, sighing at how unlucky Breveros was.

Order 66 would be the trigger he gave to his allies, who would sabotage the army of Destiny from within!
