The Author's POV

Chapter 284

[Union headquarters, 120th floor]

Inside a dimly lit room, five of the seven heads of the Union sat on a large round table.

Being some of the most powerful people in the human domain, they were individuals whose decisions could decide the lives of millions. As a result, multiple oppressive auras enveloped the room.

Anyone below rank would simply faint under this pressure.

"I presume you all know why we're meeting right?"

A tall robust man with dirt blond hair spoke up. Just his casual words caused the air around him to crackle as thin lightning bolts revolved around his body.

He was Maximus von Dexteroi, third in the Hero ranking, and one of the seven heads of the Union.

"Hmm, It'd be strange if we didn't. Especially after that rat's betrayal."

A snaked-eyed person replied. He was seventh in the Hero ranking, Ceasar Kuliner.

An extremely famous Hero that was renowned for his dagger techniques that could mutilate opponents with a single look.

"Who would've thought that Tasos was a traitor."

"...Mhm, I guess looks can be deceiving."

Two melodious voices rang inside of the room.

The voices belong to Julia Romantica and Daphne Lawrence, respectively second and ninth in the hero rankings.

Adorned in jewelry and piercings, Daphne was a black woman. As one would expect, she had a wild beauty to her that would make any man grovel at her feet.

On the other hand, sitting next to her was Julia who in contrast to her was tall slim white beauty with white hair and blue eyes. Most frightening about her was her power, as she was only one rank behind the number one spot.

"Quiet, the meeting is about to start."

A soft voice suddenly enveloped the whole room. The moment the voice spoke, everyone subconsciously stopped speaking.

That was because the person who had just spoken was the number one ranked hero in the human domain, 'The sovereign', Octavious Hall.

The most powerful human in existence.

With brown hair and languid eyes that seemed to be devoid of any emotion, an aura of oppression and destruction exuded from his body. Completely suppressing the other auras in the room.

The power radiating from his body was so strong, that with every breath he took, tangible mana appeared in the air.

Closing his eyes, Octavious suddenly waved his hand.

"Let's begin."

The moment he waved his hand, the space in front of him tore apart and a small black void appeared out of thin air.

"Thank you for having me."

An ethereal voice suddenly rang inside of the room.

Not long after, a silhouette stepped out of the void. With ruby-red eyes that glistened underneath the lights of the room, long-cascading black hair, and fair skin, a male figure leisurely walked out of the portal.

Stepping out of the void, the man casually looked around and bowed his head slightly.

"Been a while since I last saw you, heads."

Indifferently staring at the man who had just entered the room, Octavious's mouth opened.

"Wahid 'aelah"

"In the flesh."

Also known as the one above all in Arabic, and the head of the Monolith.

Not much was known about him, but what everyone in the room could feel from the faint undulations of magic resonating from his body was that his power was on par with Octavious, if not even stronger.

The room instantly became tense.

"It seems like everyone is here."

Taking a seat all the way over on the other side of the table, Wahid 'aelah propped both of his elbows on the table before supporting his chin with his hands that were interlocked together.

"I'm sure you heads know why I asked to meet, right?"

"You wish to stop the war?"

Maximus coldly spoke from the side.

"Correct."

"Psh, so you want to stop a war you guys started, just like that?"

"You only want to cease the war now that you guys suffered a loss at our hands? Laughable."

"Indeed."
