The King's Game - Seven Calamities Arc (Part 2)

Chapter 23: The Dragons' Past

"Viezil, what is this I hear about you letting a God walk this realm?"

"He was here to deliver a message, a message that had to be directly delivered to me."

"If the other dragons hear about this they will not let it go lightly. Nobody wants a repeat of the Great Split, we lost too much to obtain this realm free of Gods and Demons."

"The Gods are planning something; they claim they need the help of all three powers to achieve their goal. If I do not attend this meeting, we might end up being destroyed by an alliance between the Gods and Demons."

Viezil spread his wings and took off into the skies, where he opened a portal to an uninhabited planet.

"I do not trust the other powers my king, I hope nothing bad comes to pass."

Viezil landed in an open field and waited the arrival of the other powers. The first of the remaining powers to arrive was the Demon King followed shortly thereafter by Judesis.

"I do apologise for arriving late when it was I who set the time and place for this meeting."

"We care not for your excuses Judesis, where is your leader?"

"I am here on Unos behalf, I ho-", Judesis had begun to say before he was cut off.

"Do you take us for fools? Here me and Viezil stand, leaders of our race and domains, yet you have the gall to tell me Unos has sent a representative?", the Demon King roared as the skies became dark from his rage.

"Please let us not get ahead of ourselves before you even hear the reasoning."

"Screw your reasoning! What do you have to say to this Viezil? Or should I say slayer of Gods, the Ragnarok?"

"I could care less who explains this plan to us that the Gods have, I am here only for information to decided what I should do."

The Demon King clenched his fists in rage, "I suppose you have a point, I might have been tempted to cut that coward Unos head off if he dared show his face. So tell us Judesis, what is this plan that the Gods have and need our help with?"

"Of course right to business, what we Gods have planned is the creation of new life, a life form that has high intelligence and a desire to obtain wisdom."

"You wish to create a fourth power?", the Demon King asked.

"No not at all, they will have short life spans and have no magic powers at all. They will ultimately be weak, their only strength will be their desire to obtain more wisdom and improve themselves."

"What would the purpose of this life be?", Viezil asked Judesis.

"Cultivate this planet and revere us. We will design them in such a way that they will unconsciously provide us with strength through offerings to us as their creators. We will also be able to learn from them as they will be a creation formed from the ideals of all three powers. Imagine what they would be able to do.", Judesis said as he raised and swung his arms in excitement.

"Do the Gods care for nothing but experiments? When will your lust for power end? Will you wait till you have destroyed even yourselves before you are satisfied?"

"Calm yourself Viezil. This might actually be the first worthy thing the Gods have thought of, and I think it is well worth giving some thought to.", the Demon King said as he raised a hand to stop Viezil should he attack Judesis.

"Thank you Demon King. I am glad somebody sees the worth in this project, yet it would fail if only we were to take part, please Viezil give it some thought, this could be the beginning of something great and you would be a part of it."
