Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Those who already knew about the Song of the Sirens gathered around me in excitement.

"My lord! May I please join in! Even from just the fort! Please!" cried Pixie.

"Brutha, are we really doing that again? There be lizardkin here this time. How ya going to manage that?"

"Hmm. My lord, you're going to do something crazy again, aren't you? And judging by the wild grin on your face, it would probably be on the level of blackmailing a Revenant," Connie added as she cleaned her camera.

Those who weren't present during the battle with Andromalius were disturbed by our reporters' offhand comment.

After all, Revenants were considered kings. Hearing that I had casually blackmailed one made them question the authenticity of her words.

"He what?"

"Blackmail...a Revenant? You have got to be shitting me?"

"But that makes no sense! Why would he do such a thing?"

I didn't even answer them before those who knew the whole story came to my defense. Connie, Pixie, and D shared their feelings even when no one asked them.

"I can't blame you three. Practically all of Hellsend was there and we still couldn't believe it. I mean, who in their right mind has the guts to threaten a Revenant for a bunch of women?"

"But that makes it so cool! My lord is so in love with the ladies that he vowed to burn down an entire continent if his majesty hurt even one of them! It was SO ROMANTIC!"

"Brutha be in insane. But he always keeps his word. The order he gave just now? That be true. Hellsend calls it the Song of the Sirens. You best be ready for what be coming, man."

I ignored her comments and followed up on Connie's earlier question.

"Connie, use the video of me when the party begins. I have something to say to the world. If you want to let them know that I am alive. That would be the best moment."

"Is that so? Very well, my lord. I, Constance Faye, vow to capture your majesty and splendor for the world to see. Please fight without worries."

I nodded at her answer and then turned to my {vassals}.

"Pixie, D. I have an order for you. When the Sirens return, I want you to make sure that no one who wants to help is allowed to do so. Except for me and the Sirens, everyone is forbidden from fighting. Use force if necessary. "

Although I could see the disappointment in both their eyes, they nodded without much fuss. Feeling bad, I reminded them of a few things to help them feel better.

"The time for everyone to draw blood will come soon. But it is not today. As my {Vassals}, you two can expect that I will work you both to the bone. This is not a matter of trust, but of timing. Can I count on both of you?"

"Yes, my lord!" x2

I then faced Amari and Mia.

"I don't really care what you believe, but do you remember what I told you earlier? Remember everything you see today and take it back to your people. This message is for them as well as for Hellsend. Pay attention to my every word. For I will speak it only once."

Finally, I came face to face with Gareth, who seemed to have frozen stiff. Although he was much taller than me, he looked like a teenager in front of a school principal. I grabbed his shoulder and used [Whisper] to calm him down.

"Gareth, the first part of our plan is complete. As my harem and I have sworn to you. We will kill everything on this floor with just the eight of us. Watch carefully, Phantom. This is how humans have evolved on Earth. And this is the war I will bring to Hellsgate."

"I understand, my lord. I will burn everything into my mind and remember everything by heart. The outcome of this battle no longer matters. I already believe your words, my lord. And I know that you will surely bring forth a new age. And I am honored to be among those who stand with you."

Hearing his exaggerated words made me laugh. He reminded me of Lilly and Liv. Perhaps such tendencies were natural to those who followed the path of chivalry.

But as cringeworthy as it might be, such vows were worth their weight in gold when spoken by a man like Gareth.

"Then I look forward to the future, Sir Gareth. Now, if you please, lift the warp restriction on this zone only. The enemies will arrive soon."

"YES, MY LORD! GENERAL MANAGER'S AUTHORITY! IN THE NAME OF THE KING OF THE 24TH FLOOR HIS MAJESTY THE LORD LIMITLESS! LIFT WARP RESTRICTIONS ON ZONE 1244-1."

{Confirmation of General Manager Authority Gareth Faesten! Presence of the Limitless detected. Warp restrictions lifted in zone 1244-1! Warp gate matrix now online!}

[My lord, confirming warp restrictions have been lifted. The Death Seeker warp gates now have access to this area.]

'Are Joshua and the others ready?'

[Yes, my lord. All six M777 howitzers are ready. The 2nd Amendment Squads along with the Mechanized Infantry, Freya's Bulwark, and Minerva's Wizards are all standing by on Earth. They can be summoned at any time.]

'Okay, then can you help me open a {Portal} for them to pass through?'

[Understood. We can use the existing warp gate matrix to simplify the process.]

'How long will it take?'

[Not long. In the meantime, I have instructed the officers to prepare for the summoning. It would be best to call them on the ramparts already chosen by the Sirens.]

'Okay, do it.'

[Would you like to say a few words to them?]

'No, not necessary, I can say anything once the battle actually begins.'

[Understood. Everything is ready my lord. Just initiate a {Portal} and I will do the rest].

I raised my hand while closing my eyes. With this, the guns of freedom will begin to roar.

"{PORTAL}!"

At that moment, instead of one portal, six opened at once. Four in front of me, while a single {Portal} also opened on the east and west ramparts. Of the six, Phantoms from the 2nd Amendment were hauling the M777 Howitzers into place.

Normally, these were truck-mounted weapons, but my men's ability to lift shit had been greatly enhanced by {Call My Name}. When they all arrived, they lowered the huge guns and saluted me from where they stood.

"WE SALUTE THE LORD OF HELLSEND! THE ESTEEMED LIMITLESS! HAIL!"

The fighting spirit among the men was especially strong. And though I knew the others wanted to join in, I had no intention of calling out any more. I raised my fist, causing the Phantoms to fall silent.

Then I turned to those behind me. They were a group I had chosen for different reasons, but their presence was to serve as emissaries to everyone else.

"Now the stage is set for the six of you to watch closely. This is the answer to every question that has plagued your minds. Then I turned and ran to the edge of the wall.

"{BLINK}!"

Invoking Lilly's {Fate}, I arrived at the spot I had designated. Since I had superior senses to everyone else. I had sensed it much earlier.

They were coming.

Be it through {Sonar}, {Listen} or the Exa network. The Sirens had almost completed their task. The stage was set and the time was ripe.

This would be the moment when I would officially take the stage as king. And as much as I hated it, I ended up being worse than even David in some ways.

The only thing I could be sure of was that, unlike him. I would not stop until I closed Hellsgate and ended this fucking nightmare!

"MY {KINDRED}! COME TO ME!" I roared.
