Chapter 697 The generals

"So that's what I learned after hunting down those Gods."

Frieda had a serious look on her face as she listened to the information Erste gathered. The more she listened the more her heart sunk. She had thought that she had already learned the truth long ago but it turned out that what she knew was nothing.

The New Gods and even the Old Gods that they were fighting were just children of the true Gods. The Ancient ones and the ORIGIN the top of the top.

"So what can we do, what's the point of our resistance? No matter how many New and Old Gods we kill the Ancient Ones will just make more. Even if we want to attack the Ancient Ones which I doubt we can do, we don't even know where to find them."

Despite the words sounding like she was panicking the tone of Frieda's voice was very indifferent. The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin

"How about you call in those trusted generals of yours and let's brainstorm," Erste replied while shrugging his shoulders.

"... Fine," Frieda answered while sighing.

...

Several people had arrived in Frieda's office, one of them was, of course, the old man Gratz. The others were the same as the people in Erste's nightmares.

'Oh, were those truly prophetic dreams?'

"Some of you might already know who this is, but allow me to introduce you this person is Erste and this meeting is about the information he acquired some time ago."

The group of generals stared at Erste, they had heard many stories about this guy and even the rumor that he was considered to be the strongest among them all. Aside from Gratz who has seen how powerful Erste was the other generals were not so convinced.

'Hmph, is this the guy that I keep hearing about, he doesn't look like he's anything special.' Was the thought of a tall beautiful girl with long silver hair, and golden eyes. She was not wearing any make-up but her natural beauty could make most men leave their mouths hanging. This was Sayaka the general of flames.

'The muscles on this guy are too small, it doesn't seem like he has any meat in him. How can a person who hasn't gained enough muscles be strong?' The largest man in the room his body bulging with muscles, looked at Erste confused. This was Jonathan the general of iron.

'Tsk, how come Sir Gratz keeps on praising this guy? He doesn't look like he's worth any praise at all. The mana fluctuating from his body is quite weak, and his posture is rather sloppy, there's no elegance to be found.' A man looking like a younger Gratz stared at Erste in his mind wanting to bite down on the other party, he could not wait to attack Erste, but despite his anger, he remained in an upright position with a rather calm look on his face. This was Kamael the general of ice.

'I see... So this is Erste the information I have on him seems to have underestimated the other party a bit too much. I guess relying on rumors, eyewitness reports and second guesses can only get you so far, seeing him in person truly is the way to go.' The person with a cigarette in his mouth and smiling wryly was Schlau the general of wisdom.

"Right now Sayaka should be thinking this f*cking b*stard called me tsundere, I need to teach him a lesson. Hmph, he doesn't look like he has anything except for that sly mouth of his."

lightsnοvεl Sayaka had her eyes wide open as those were the exact words that she was thinking. Seeing Sayaka's reaction, the others could already guess that what Erste said was right.

"Before you guys ask, I can't read minds I just know you guys so well. Jonathan should be thinking of a good workout schedule for me."

"Hoh that's amazing, don't worry Erste I'll be sure to create the perfect workout for you."

"Kamael should be thinking about why a guy like me is being praised by Gratz. He should also be thinking that he would want to pierce my chest and rip it apart."

"Tsk," Kamael only responded by clicking his tongue.

"As for the cunning b*stard Schlau you should still be wondering if what I said was the truth or if I was lying and I truly have mind-reading abilities."

"That's amazing Sir Erste, still, now I believe you a little that you have no mind-reading abilities," Schlau responded with a smile on his face.

"Heh, sly b*stard you should be thinking about bad things. Well, now that you guys know how well I know you all. It should come as no surprise that I can guess what you four want to do next. You four want to fight me for different reasons, Sayaka would want to teach me a lesson, Jonathan would want to demonstrate the beauty of his muscles, Kamael wants to show Gratz I'm a liar and a loser who's weak and not worthy of praise, as for Schlau you should want to see what kind of power I have."

"Since you already know that, surely you won't back down," Kamael spoke already itching to attack Erste.

"Nah, I would never deny a challenge, but I was just thinking if I should play with you guys one at a time or altogether. There's also the option of not playing with you guys and just showing the four of you the difference in our strengths."

Hearing what Erste said the four generals even the calm Schlau felt a little angry. Erste was looking down at them a bit too much.

"Hmph, you think that you can beat us all together? I doubt that you can even beat any of us one-on-one."

"You misunderstood it's not a question if I can beat you guys but a question if I should bother."

Unable to hold it in any longer Sayaka's mana burst out as she charged at Erste and kicked him. Erste easily blocked her attack with his pinky finger.

"Yeah, I made my decision you guys are too weak to have fun playing with."

After saying those words Erste released some kind of pressure attack that only affected the four generals. The four knelt on the ground unable to move or breathe. Despite their best efforts, they could not resist the unknown pressure that assaulted them. It was at this moment they finally understood what kind of horror was standing before them.
