Chapter 993 Cap 991: Plan Of The One Who Lurks In The Shadows
Pov Shadow Lord:
I was in front of 18 modified Kimera bodies, all with humanoid form reticent to various races, I looked at my arm where the skin is halfway torn and the flesh was soft, that body was at the limit, with the Seals of Space Separated, broken in the vast majority, I managed to concentrate on the main body, which made some of the Divine power run through me, unfortunately, these bodies are not lasting more than a few days.
“My lord, these bodies were made using bodies of High Priests and those with Heroic bloodlines, as ordered we also let the alchemist use the Blood of the Hero of Light to make the liquid that runs through these bodies.” (Shadow Slave)
“I’ve spread the knowledge to make a Kimera for millennia and I still can’t get a body capable of withstanding Divine power.” (I)
I look at each body lying in front of me and touch them letting some of my energy run through their bodies and see how they behave.
I used the best possible materials and even though half of these bodies will not even be suitable containers, only 8 of these bodies will be able to become air containers.
I look between the bodies that look suitable, there are 3 child Elf bodies, 1 Giant body, 1 Human body, and 3 Demon bodies.
I look between them and choose the body of a Demon, a thinly muscled, middle-aged male body, not the best of bodies, but I like the way it looks.
I move closer and place my hand on his forehead, then roam around the current vessel’s body absorbing every last trace of energy before using my hand as a to enter the new body.
After that, I spent a few minutes adapting to the new body and confirming that it is not being eroded by my power.
“That should do for now.” (I)
After I get used to this body enough I go to the wall where various types of clothes are before leaving this room and going out of the house.
“Sir, I don’t understand why you continue to wait, we can break the last seal at any moment.” (Demon Dragon)
“There’s no reason to be in a hurry, there are still certain steps to be taken before that.” (I)
I look at the Demon Dragon who became my servant, I created him by corrupting a Dark Dragon, his only problem is his aggression and lack of long-term thinking.
“I also don’t understand the point of letting the Elves do whatever they want.” (Demon Dragon)
“They are doing exactly what I wanted, I was just surprised that they acted sooner than expected.” (I)
The Elves have people surrounding the mountain where the Seal is, but that’s just a nuisance, nothing more than that.
“The Vampire boy, do you know why I attacked him?” (I)
“To keep them from interfering with the church of Luz.” (Demon Dragon)
“No, that’s what I want everyone to think, I did it because he has a lot of Blessings, which means he has a lot of Gods watching him.” (I)
“I want people to think that I’m trying to make the war last longer or I’m manipulating things so the Church of Light can keep attacking.” (I)
“That boy is a young Demigod and yet he has the Blessing of several Gods making him perfect for spreading what he has done, deceiving his enemies should always be a priority.” (I)
I wanted to do a little more damage to his teammates, but he didn’t notice it very quickly, he didn’t expect such a decisive action like that when he attacked me.
“While they are still focused on the Church of Light and Seal Mountain, we have the opportunity to move on to the next step.” (I)
I use my magic to draw a map of the continent in the air, then draw the location of the 3 World Trees, then create a spear of condensed shadows to point to the simple drawing I made in the air.
“This continent has 3 World Trees, they are positioned at the ends of the continent, this is not a coincidence.” (I) π―π²ππ»πΌπ―π²πΉοΌπ¨πΏπ΄
I connect the 3 World Trees in the drawing forming straight lines that show the drawing of a triangle that occupies more than 90% of the continent’s territory.
“In addition to their positions being helpful to their respective goals to bring the world’s energies into harmony.” (I)
“Their positions serve to create a barrier around the entire continent, something to create a shelter for attacks from those coming from outside, but it can also be used to prevent those inside from leaving.” (I)
“They are already preparing for this, this should be their last resort, but I’m sure they should be ready to use it by now.” (I)
That big barrier would be a nuisance, but luckily there’s a way to get rid of that barrier before they even get a chance to use it, that’s what my last preparations were for.
“Be prepared, we will act in a few days, now that reinforcements from the Church of Light have arrived, they will have other things to look at.” (I)
I couldn’t help but smile at the thought of all in flames, these fools were so easy to manipulate.

Pov Juliano (Founder of the Black Empire):
I was sitting in a room while Julius was in the throne room commanding his Generals.
Meanwhile, I was sitting on a chair looking into the distance, I was waiting for him when I felt his proximity and used teleportation to get in front of him miles away from the capital.
“Don’t try to stop me, Julius, you’re not strong enough for that.” (Arash)
“I need you to stay calm, we can’t be the first to act.” (I)
“I appreciate your help, but you must understand that acting rashly only puts everyone in danger.” (I)
“You knew he was alive.” (Arash)
“Yes, I’ve known for a while, but where he was wouldn’t be a place you would be able to reach.” (I)
“I know your hatred and I will not stop your revenge, but there is a time and a place, you must also take into account that you are expected at some point.” (I)
“I’ll wait, but I think he’d better come like you said.” (Arash)
I was confident they would attack here first, all I need to do is wait for the right moment, his target is not my main concern but I’m sure it will be coming too.
