"So, what's the current plan? How is the war going?" Marina asked with a worried face.
"No need to worry. I'll find Lucifer and Astaroth and assist them. We shall push the war to the outer realm and force the abominations to retreat as far as possible. We'll then concur territories around the gate and expand to get more resources and land for us to thrive." Cain smiled, "This world would be like my kingdom. I'll do my best to not allow the war to be fought on my land."
"So the first step would be uniting the world under one banner. Our banner," She smiled.
"I don't intend on conquering or robbing the kingdoms or gods of their rights to rule. All I want is for them to respond to me as the overgod in case of crisis, their cooperating would be a key factor in winning the war."
The two started walking through the marbled ground, looking at the gold-plated walls and colorful crystal windows. "I do get divine power from the gods and myself so I don't really need believers like them so there is no need for me to preach a new religion, but It'll help a bit to have mentions of me in their scriptures. Can you handle that?"
"I'll send a letter to all the gods to include you in their teachings. But... Don't we have a problem? With the people, not the gods." She got even more worried.
"To the people, I'll look like the villain. I already knew that, and heard you think about it." Cain smiled.
"Well, do you have a way to deal with that?"
"The only reason people see me as a savior or a hero is because I'm their hero. The one murdering their enemies in cold blood, and not them.
It'll be hard to deal with if I align myself with a kingdom or a race, so I'll be a neutral power that stands above the heavens." Cain smiled, "That means I'll protect the mortal world as a whole, I shouldn't care if it's evil demons or devils, religious people or farmers. As long as you're a resident of this world and have a problem with an outsider, I'll help you."
"Someone with your power and the ability to peep into people's minds, secrets, futures, and lives is horrifying to know exists, but as long as at our side, it should be fine." She started thinking.
Cain waved his hand, conjuring a tiny ball of blue magic. "I have a lot of work lined up for me. It's usually impossible to save everyone, but it shouldn't be impossible for an omnipotent god to achieve."
"How will you do it?"
"Like this..." As Cain smiled, the church was filled with copies of himself, and tens of clones all stared at Marina simultaneously. "Infinite clones. I have the mental capacity to control them all, and I'll be using them as avatars to fight the abominations that slipped across the world."
"This many Cains!" She gasped.
"They are all me. In fact, I see all that they see and feel everything. It's like a fly's mind seeing through hundreds of eyes. It's like me and Aria, we're the same person."
"Yeah, Albeit it's hard to control now." All the clones spoke at the same time and moved in the same way. It was painful to listen to the echoes of their voices.
"You look nice." Thud! A hand caught the woman's fist and the two fighters froze in place. Cain flew between them, his body glowing with magic.
"Overgod!" Lucifer cried and the woman gasped, trying to age Cain as much as she could now that he was touching her, but it didn't seem to work.
"Why aren't you aging?!" She gasped.
"Hmm..." Cain stared at her, his eyes shifting to her breasts, "Probably since I'm the overgod and you're in my domain? An omnipotent god should be timeless, isn't that right?"
"No! Shut up!" She swung a kick at his face, but grabbed her by the neck, violently swinging her around before throwing her to the ground.
"What you're doing here? It's dangerous to put the king on the front lines!" Lucifer growled.
"Calm down, look at me for a second." Cain looked at him with a smile.
"Wait...a clone? So you're still safe down there," He sighed in relief, "Thank god, you aren't that stupid."
"I'm god, are you thanking me?"
"My God is AO, not you. I have my right to believe in whomever I want." Lucifer replied with a smile.
"That's fair. Go rest for a while, I'll deal with them now. I've sent a clone to Astaroth as well, so don't cut your break short to help him." Cain smiled.
"Got it." Lucifer was about to fly away, but Cain called him again.
"About Ereshkigal, Beelzebub. I'm taking her in, you don't have a problem, right?"
"Why would I care about that woman? We never saw face to face in the past thousands of years, take her away. She only tricked me into her emotional turmoil." Lucifer replied with a tired face. "I'm off now."
"You two!" The abomination woman screamed her lungs out, "Ignoring me like this!"
Lucifer ignored her and started flying away, and when she tried to give chase, she got stopped by Cain pinching her nipples. "Hmmmm, the time magic is faster when I touch you here."
She gasped, terrified at the fact she never saw him move.
