AN :

Hey everyone, I wanted to write something for everyone during christmas, and since it's the 25 I deceided to send everything today !

Now, another little QnA !

time king zi-o :
Confessarius is one twisted guy, as for all of those info, it was in the latest chapter that dropped in CN, in there a lot of info about the Sarkaz court was given to us, we always knew that Shining was part of Confessor, but never about the full story, now we havea better understanding of all of this.
I may also have this chapter as some kind of 'talking' chapter, since it allows all of the characters to interact with each other and finnaly talk about stuff.

Ascandas :
It's important to have a chapter like the 13th one every once in a while, it allows everyone to reach an understanding and imagine about what to do after all of this is over, they are people who have goals for the future, but those goals are everchanging just like the characters themselves, it's important to have them just talking for that.
As for them going to Lungmen, it's to start the next part of their story, now that the goal of Dante is shown and explained to the both of them, they finnaly have the complete picture on why he does things. Lungmen is a place that is like a crossroad, a reference point where everything ties in nicely. Whitout spoiling anything, PL (Penguin Logistic) WILL be involved, and Exuisia will still be Exusiai, she will chase after Mostima whether Lemuen is with her or not.

Also, thanks for the praise on my writing, it's nice to know that I improve at least a little bit !

Zet4 :
Just like I stated before, the lore dump was of the lateast chapter, through the explanation of our favorite Ex-wife and Shining in Chapter 11. There was more, but with all of those lore dump, it's hard to point the exact place it originate.

With all of that done : here we go !


After being sleeping for a while, I woke up first in our little camp.

We set it up in the wilderness, there was a small forest around that allowed us to have some kind of cover, even if it could have some mutated beast around, it wouldn't ammount to much considering that there wasn't any beast that could really fight againts the three of us.

I woke up when the sun was just rising, giving me time before the other two wake and a long conversation would ensue, for the sake of having everyone on the same page.

I needed to have a cool head and think about what to say, since right now, I'm still not okay with everything.

Maybe if I talk about my plan a little...

Telling them that another civil war would happen with the Sarkaz would be far from the weirdest thing I predicted.

Considering that tension are on a all time high, considering that the Sarkaz are torn between a strong ruler and one that actually give a shit about them, wich is dumb, but you have to put yourself in their shoes before saying that.

If their ruler isn't strong enough, they would be wiped out once again by the coalition of country that is : Londonium, Ursus, Leithania and Laterano.

Because they know that if they leave enough time for the Sarkaz to build back their city Kazdel, they already lost a potential war.

The Witch King is dead, and the twin empress aren't even CLOSE to his level of power, Ursus is in deep shit with the passage of power of an Emperor to his heir, with all the infighting it has, Londonium's Monarchy is in disaray with most of the Royals being, well, dead, and then there's Laterano.

Laterano is... In a weird spot.

If it attack Kazdel without reason, even if they ARE the Sarkaz, it would put them in a bad position.

That's why Sarkaz are discramated upon, and not just, you know, all killed of.

Because they know that a genocide would cause civil unrest EVERYWHERE.

If the strongest race of the world is wiped out, doesn't that mean that any single one of us aren't safe ?

That kind of thing.

Well, that's none of my buisness per say, since my goal is to make sure that Kazdel IS rebuilt, but under Theresa this time, I need to kick off the competition.

Honnestly, with just one death, that isn't Theresis, I could stop that war.

That being Confessarius.

Theresis IS strong, but Confessarius is not only stronger, but more influencel.

Perk of being a centuries old advisor to the Lord of Fiends.

...

Killing him isn't going to be easy tho.

He maybe overconfident, since there isn't many people that can stack up againts him, but he isn't dumb.

If I want to kill him, a single bullet between the eyes is the only way.

No cool fight, or flashy moves, or any kind of frontal assault that he can defend againts.

A single shot, with all my art, that would destroy his brain.

Without his brain, he wouldn't be able to heal himself, no matter how much of a monster he is.

I mean, someone that can move without his brain would be one really nasty monster.

...

Anyway.

Those two are stirring in their sleep, so I should probably get ready.

The plan is simple (for now).

-Phase 1 : Get Lungmen's support through Ch'en and Tahlula.

-Phase 2 : Get Aegir's help through the Abyssal Hunter, by killing the corrupting heart inside of Skadi and the 'Tree'. (As a bonus, it would also lessen the Sea born threat to a staggering degree.)

-Phase 3 : Silence Ursus with the infected patrol, making a revolution and overthrowing the Emperor. (Essentialy we're become Lenine in this world.)

-Phase 4 : Get Yen's support by helping Nian's plan with never become Sui once again. (Having the support of litteral Gods will help a lot too.)

-Phase 5 : Getting in Kazdel and helping the Dokutah win the war. (With all of the support behind me, it shouldn't really be much of a problem.)

-Phase 6 : Rebuilt Kazdel, and have Thersea have a peace treaty with Yen and Ursus. (Having all three as ally would put a solide fondation in actual world peace.)

-Phase 7 : Elimnate all external threat. (The Demons of Sargon and the North, the Sea terrors, all of those guys need to get either pacified or straight up annihilated, tactical Nuke style.)

-Phase 8 : Profit. (Retirement with the bros, because at this point, I'm pretty sure I solved most of the problems. If they want to wage war after all of that stuff done, they can all die for all I care.)

...

So yeah, I have to explain all of that to the two of them in a conscise manner and without them suspecting me being from another world.

Joy.

Yeah, we're doing it now. Ripping the bandage here and now.

"Dante, you're awake early ?"

"Yeah, had to sort my thought. Since I did promise you two a full explanation... You should wake Fia up first tho."

"Yeah, sure. Start the coffee machine first. We're going to need it I reckon."

"Already on it."

And three large coffee comming right up~.

"Here Mosti."

"Thanks. So, that discussion about what you wanted to explain to us ?"

"We're doing it this early ?"

"If I push it more I think I'm going to go insane at this point."

"... Aren't you already insane ?"

"Shush Fia."

"Heh, I'll have to agree with her, you know ?"

"Urgh, you want to hear this or not ?"

"Yeah, let's do this."

"Alright then. I already have a plan to... Well, world peace."

"..." x2

"Don't look at me like that, it's a serious one."

"Yeah, I'm sure. Your thought, Mostima ?"

"Probably something completly insane that makes sense for no apparent reason ?"

"Eh, it's him so probably."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence..."

"So, that plan ? I hope it's good enough so that I can join too, you know ?"

"... So you're also intersted in joining, Fia ?"

"Yes, now shut up, and start explaining."

"Alright then. Let's begin :
The point of this plan is World Peace. For that, there are multiple condition needed. One, all country in the world stop fighting each other, whether it's publicly, or behind the scene. Two, erasure of racial biases, so that there isn't any 'superior race' debate. Third, the destruction of external threat. I briefly informed you of the, quite litteral, Abyss, but not only are they not the sole problem, each of those would neccesite a prepared army and a shit load of ressource to even imagine fighting them. So yeah. Those are the three main condition for something as vague as 'World Peace'."

"... If you thought about all of that, then you must realise that it's not really possible."

"While it is near impossible to have a perfect 'World Peace', it's possible to have at least, the first and third condition field in, with the second being something that's going to have to be worked on trought many generation of people. But you do raise an important question, Fia, How ?"

"And your 'perfect plan' account for all of those ?"

"Kinda, Mosti, it allows the dropping of pretenses. Wich, in turn, will allow the different country to stop being dumbasses and think about the bigger picture for once."

"And you think you can do that alone ?"

"Hell no. Doing it alone is impossible and inconceivable, Fia. Therfore, the plan is actually titled, 'The real treasure is the friends we made along the way.' A fitting name for a plan who'se sole purpose is to essentialy get as many friend in high places as possible."

"..." x2

"What did you expect, me gunning everyone that wanted to say no to me ? I mean, with a goal like World Peace, if any one said 'no', it's true they would be huge asshole for doing that, but that woudn't stop them at all."

"So, you have a idea how to get those... 'Friends in High Places' ?"

"Yep. Three opportunities that would allow me to gain the neccesary connection."

"And you know of those opportunities, how ?"

"That's a great question, Mosti. It's simple, everyone can see them, but no one has the balls to go for it."

"..." x2

"Speechless again ay ? Don't worry, it's pretty simple. There are three places where it would work. Those being, Ursus, Yen and Kazdel."

Oh, that got a reaction.

Seems like the Fire bird has something to say first.

"Kadel ?! Are you retarded ? As a Sankta, you should know better than anyone what would that entail !"

"Yeah, I know all about it, and it's why they are the biggest key component to this plan."

"A key component, huh ? So, what would this 'Key' allow you to do ?"

"You see, Mosti, for the first time in history, the current 'Lord of Fiends' isn't a huge warmongering moron. But an actual peaceful person."

"The current 'Lord of Fiends' ..? What the hell are you talking about ?"

"Yeah, you were raised by purist, weren't you, Fia ?"

"Purist ? The hell are talking about ?"

"Heh, the 'Lord of Fiends' is the leader of the Sarkaz as a whole, essentialy, the one that supervise every tribe. That position isn't some kind of 'Being elected' or something, it's a physical and tangible ability, an extremely overpowered art."

"How do you know this stuff ?!"

"Because I do. I really can't talk much about my sources, since they are pretty scarce, and the one I could point out, you would dismiss."

"You think we should be okay with that ? Just being in the dark while you lord over your knowledge of the world to us ? What are you, some kind of Messiah ?"

"Nope, I'm just your average Fallen Sankta, I just wasn't raise to belive all the lies they feed you at the church."

"Mostima, back me up here, you can't also be just okay with this ?!"

"Well... I'm mostly fine with it."

"W-what ?"

"Yeah, I thought about it, and hear me out. Has he ever been wrong before ?"

"..."

"So, has he ?"

"..."

"Come on, you know he never lied to us, right ?"

"... That doesn't make it better..."

"Does it ? If he is telling us he can't tell us, isn't it better than him feeding us lies about how he knows ? He's telling us that it's something he can't discuss, isn't that an answear in and of it self ?"

"Still ..!"

"Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, and see where that leads us ?"

"..."

"So, what will it be, miss Grumpy ?"

"Urgh, fine ! I'll hear your stupid plan out ! There, are you happy Mostima ?"

"Very~ !"

"Urgh, you're impossible sometimes..."

"Well, I should probably continue and get on with the plan."

"Do that."

"So, the plan is complicated, so I'll only go into detail of the phases that are important right now, but we're going into country in order : first we're heading to Lungmen, which is pretty evident. I'll be teaching someone how to use Chi Xiao there."

Fia lift an eyebrow.

"Your old sword ? You stopped really using it after you got Durandal."

"Yeah, since I was going to give it back, it wouldn't be good that I rely on it too much."

"Huh, alright."

"With this, I have a step in the Lungmen politcs, and getting their support with it. After that, we're going to the beach."

"Pffft-" x2

"The beach ? Why Siesta or Dossoles?"

"... My plumage would get all wet, so defently not for me."

"Hold your horses, not this beach."

"Then ..? Where ?"

"Aegir."

"..."x2

"Surprised ? I have a contact there."

"That guy ..! Ulpian, was it ?"

"Yeah, that guy. But not only. I have a sneaking suscpition that there is another person of Aegir outside that would need help, and that would give us a chance to get into their cities."

"How ..?"

"Fia, benefit of the doubt."

"Urgh."

"So, yeah. After Aegir, Ursus. I know of a few pals that would allow us to put a huge plan into motion."

"... How huge ?"

"Heh, how huge you ask ? Simple, the overthrowing of the Emperor."

Their faces says it all, but well, it's nice having them this baffeled by all of this !

Even if, yeah, overthrowing the Emperor is a huge deal.

"WHAT !"x2

"Stop being so surprised with stuff. The Emperor and the noble of the country are in a very weak possition right now. Essentially, it's now or never."

"Even then, how confident are you that it would work ?!"

"Around 95% sure, what, thinking of dropping out, Fia ?"

"Urgh, maybe I should..."

"Heh, so ? How is it for now ?"

"Completly insane, the possibility of it happening is so low it's not even worth considering."

"Mhm, even for me, the last part is really the kicker, I would need more explanation then just, 'trust me it'll work' ."

"Then, how about this ; The current Emeperor have less than a fourth of his army, as the Noble are impeeding in his domain, and the Demon of the north are still a threat, not only that, but a revolutionnary group lead by one of the strongest if not THE strongest Emperor's blade is currently freeing infected slaves in the northern mine."

"... HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL OF THIS ?!"

"Fia, still benefit of the doubt."

"No, if we go along with it, that's our heads !"

"Let's try the first two phases and wait for tangible proof of what he say, and then judge ?"

"URGH, FINE !"

"Thanks for at least hearing it out, I know it sounds insane."

"And your absolutly sure that i's wise to do it in that order ?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is, Mosti."

"Well, not to stop your zeal but, where does Kazdel fit in all of this ? You did say it was a key component."

"It's the last piece of the puzzle, the civil war of Kazdel is a bloody one, and I have to move fast to prevent the worst to happen."

"Alright. Then, can you answear just one question of mine, truthfully."

"Sure. Shoot."

...

"Are you a time traveler or something ?"

And that's a wrap ! Oh, and also, the intro of the Sui sibling is going to also be uploaded.

Have fun with that ~!
