The leader of each races showed a face filled with intimidation towards everyone for not to be considered weak except the King of humans who smiled a little bit. Since it was he who called them and he who holds the title of the strongest and unbeatable.
Finally the winged humans were the last to arrive. The winged humans lived on the tree itself but they have extreme personalities. They are the descendants of the fallen angels. But due to being banished from heavens their wings changed their colour from pure white to darkest shade of black. Like the darkness equaling to platinum black.
And when they descended the leader of the fallen angels decided to adres the King firstly.
Michael:
Moonlight Thunder King we welcome you to our humble above and we are truly grateful for taking revenge against the gods for banishing our ancestors from heaven.
The King sternly told them off.
King:
I appreciate the praise. But my reasons for going to war are not for revenge but for the survival of all living beings in existence on this plane.
The King of giants despite his stature as actually soft-spoken as he raised the question.
Giant:
Why, are we going to war so suddenly. We need adequate reasons to convince the other giants to prepare for warfare.
King:
The reason is very simple o fellow leaders. The wall of abyss is rapidly approaching g us from the west so to speak.
And if we let this Countinue a time will come where the gods will be residing over our heads and they will rain down their wrath upon us.
King;
Before that happens, we have to get rid of the gods.
The wise dragon spoke interjecting with a question which would decide the fate of this gathering.
Dragon:
King of Humans, I the mighty dragon have found fault within your reason. Which shall lead us to certain doom.
A god albeit a lower one their death shall bring catastrophe to the same lands you are trying to save.
dragon:
The Death of Order or Chaos shall render all of existence into nothingness. The death of peace will lead to far too many wars. The death of the sea shall perish will the essence of life. The death of death is uncertain. However the death of life shall end all life on this plane.
The King fell into a deep thought. He was trying to gather words to convince them to join the war efforts. In the end he had to reveal some secrets.
KING:
I've spent many hours peering in the same thought. There are no chains which could hold the gods for much longer.
There I no prison which could contain them. But there is information only I hold and allow me to reveal some of the Secrets.
King:
A month before due to the efforts of Lord Ikaros we were able to capture Sein, the guardian of existence.
When he took the name of Sein everyone was shocked and exclaimed. Jay and Phoenix just watched even the King of dragon was intrigued with this information.
King:
The Lower God Sein has officially perished but yet our existence has been maintained. The God of light Luminos has perished yet the sun is shining brightly in the sky.
Dragon :
You speak so highly of your endeavors but have nothing to show for it.
King :
I do in fact.
The King removed a vial of ichor from his pocket. This ichor had been preserved with anti - heparin to prevent blood coagulation.
King :
This is ichor, also known as the blood of the God's. This is just a small sample we had recovered from Sein. Are you convinced now.
This was a bluff within a truth. The death of sein was caused by X. While the death of Luminos is a bit skeptical since the body was taken in custody by the mage tower and it couldn't be accessed by anyone. Except Maria. Using advanced witchcraft to armed to curse anyone o death who will even enter the room and her curses were deemed strong enough to kill a god.
The Dragon king still wasn't satisfied with the evidence but he had his limits his species entire survival was now dependant on the King.
Dragon:
Human, my curiosity has been satiated. I have no further question. We the race of the strongest and proudest will stand by your side till time makes us part way.
The giants looked at the dragons with suspicious eyes. The Dragon ofwisdom whp distributes knowledge unparalleled to whatever the lands had ever seen was silent with just one question.
The elves asked something was surprising.
Elves:
We the elves have been on the side of nature from the beginning what you are suggesting will not only cause devastation to mother nature. But also it will harm the entire ecosystem for when a god unleashes his strength upon the land. There will be nothing but catastrophe.
There were many races which wanted to avoid war as desperately as possible for which they made many reasons. Political instability, mass deformation. Even the bleak future outlook.
The King was swiftly weaving through this without being authoritarian he believed that with everyone's cooperation they can succeed in their endeavors.
The leader of the dark elves took up the point that how will the Foundation stand against trh might of the God's.
For there are only regional Gods on their side.
The King of dragons spoke interrupted.
Dragon :
My power equals to a god. There is no way I shall lose to one.
And to deal with this he finally Introduced Jay and Phoenix who were keeping watch from afar. Both of them were introduced as the disciple of the King. With the powers of an apostle. Although he was bluffing about their current powers.
And among all the races a poll was taken for those who will be participating and those who weren't. Around 89% of species were ready for war. Albeit few of them had conditions. Those who werent ready would later be coerced by cutting off the supplies arriving from the foundation.
When Jay heard about this only one sentence reverbrated in his mind. About the King enrolling Jay to war.
" I shall use every unorthodox tactics to ensure our victory".
Jay's face had become very famous from the Slave island incident which acted as an excellent spotlight for him.
The Dragon smelled something from Jay it was the markers that had marked Jay as dangerous. By the twin dragons and the ice dragon.
Dragon :
You... You're a dragon slayer. You reek of my kin's blood. And demon blood !
The demon war was fought in secrecy but some secrets are opened and out came a name who had killed the most demons after Sein. To the dragons the story was told as such.
A warrior arrived in the demonic land on the southern front.
Bearing the legendary demon slaying spear. He skewered multiple demons in a single throw. He commanded a large army whicj desecrated the demons. And he remained steadfast against the Immortal Ikaros.
His courage was rewarded as he received the highest praise from Lord Ikaros himself.
And after the war his whereabouts are unknown.
Because he had cause the death of many asura the enemy of the dragons. His name was taken with praise even though he was also the slayer of the Ice dragon and the Twin dragons. Their death were taken as a symbol of weakness.
Dragon :
You are the demon annihilation . Who bought death to the demons on the south. I the King of Dragons am pleased with your presence. And even more so learning that you see the disciple of the Moonlight Thunder King.
Jay didn't know what should he say. Anything that he might say would be considered as crude. So he just thanked the dragon and like a robot walked back.
Then the leader of an indigenous almost extinct tribe leader spoke up.
He bowed his head in front of the king as a sign of deepest respect.
Tribe leader :
My king, I wish to join your endeavors but my tribe is now recovering from the attacks by the God's. Rebuilding everything will take us generations.
King :
My friend, war is not about just fighting on the front lines and dancing with death. Providing whatever support you can would be enough.
When these words were spoken some leaders who were unsatisfied immediately turned to the other side.
There are however few who only like to think of money.
Avaricia :
There are no monetary benefits here, At most you'll be compensating for the damage you will be doing. This is bad for economy.
The voice came from a greedy monster who was human at first but his body was deformed and turned into a grotesque monster by the Witch of Extinction. The only reason he had become a leader of a small group was because he had saved them from financial devastation. From them he assumed the role of King Avaricia A story for another time.
King was enraged but he still kept his anger in check. For if he had let go the monster's head would have rolled in the ground.
The King intended to resolve this as a King not a Tryant.
King :
As a matter of fact. We shall also be paying for the services that you provide. And I turn generate income for regions where there are fund shortages.
Avaricia :
Of course King this is what we expect from a great person like yourself. But that won't be enough after the war there would be many who wouldn't want to work because they suffer with trauma and PTSD. Their psychological issues are a main concern.
King :
These matters belong to the future. Keep your matters to the present.
Avaricia :
My King , I apologize you must have forgotten that I am an economist. I have to think not for today but the future as well. For years to come.
King :
I might not understand Economics well. But I have someone who does. Phoenix Cleft come here.
The King called for Phoenix Cleft. He could have answered his answer in an instant. But he wanted to increase the influence of their subordinates as well. That there are capable men supporting him.
Phoenix :
Sir Avaricia, you speak at length of losses, yet you deliberately ignore the nature of investment itself. Loss is not its opposite—uncertainty is.
As already stated, you will receive incentives, state support, and direct monetary compensation. The redirected workforce will not be unpaid labor; their wages will be covered. These factors alone reduce your exposure to a level that most private ventures would envy.
Yes, prolonged war can cause inflation within your territories—if the accumulated capital remains idle. But capital need not stagnate. It can be circulated, reinvested, and expanded through logistics, reconstruction contracts, and supply chains that this war itself demands.
Phoenix :
More importantly, when the Gods are defeated and their lands relinquished, your sphere of operation expands. Markets grow. Resources multiply. Trade routes open. What you call loss is, in truth, early positioning.
You also overlook a crucial variable: population movement. Refugees from the God's territory are not merely mouths to feed—they are labor, skill, and demand. Properly absorbed into existing tribes and communities, they strengthen production and consumption alike.
You warn of a future where people refuse to work due to trauma. Yet history shows the opposite—reconstruction breeds purpose, employment, and economic momentum.
To be blunt, Sir Avaricia, your argument harms your own interests more than it protects them. And it does not take an economist to see that.
The monster of greed looked around as there was distrust spreading around for him.
And one thing that brings together is a reason and that had been provided . With this the second day has ended. Three days remain.
Jay was stunned by Phoenix's answer. His respect for Phoenix grew even more.
