Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Directly increasing a monster's rank was dangerous. Thus, while the benefits of being able to cleanse malice from Reapers was good, blinding trusting the Reborn would only lead to issues. Until I found a way of standardizing this process, it would be better to keep the information a secret.

"Indeed, you are right Limitless."

"I never thought about it that way, that is true."

Bella then pulled out a printer from her subspace and began printing a contract of some sort. She placed one copy before us and a copy to each of the Specters with us before explaining.

"Gentlemen this is a soul contract, this will be our agreement for our defense treaty. It contains everything I told you earlier. This is nothing more than an agreement. It has no way of enforcing the things you agreed to. But know that should you break this, Hellsend will never again work with you. Is this point clear?"

With such a clear and distinct line, the two took the contracts and carefully read through them. I didn't bother reading mine and just signed it with my blood and soul. I saw Bella's face beam when I didn't even double check her work.

Right now, I was more interested about something else. Herman mentioned earlier that the reason he was weak as fuck was because of the soul tattoos and the malice he had. Now that he was cleansed. That should mean he was at his strongest right?

Bella gave them a few minutes then began her pitch. "To summarize, Hellsend will provide for you and regularly take away your malice. We will not restrict your activities or freedoms. But you will serve as defenders of our domain, and stop anyone who tries to enter, be they be monsters, undead, Reapers or demonkin.

"You are free to keep anything and everything you earn and kill. We will provide the typical battlefront services you might need, such as creation of equipment, fortifications and manpower for hiring. All of which would be provided at a discounted rate.

"Should you wish to borrow or use our weapons and equipment that can also be arranged, Finally, we also will offer our services in evacuating your humans from South America. However, if you do request for those services you must pay for them with information or services of similar value. Do you find these conditions agreeable?"

Carlos raised his hand before adding, "I have no issue working for Limitless, but while we are expected to die here, there are observers sent to verify that we did perish. I think we need to take care of them too."

"Would you happen to know where they are?" Bella inquired.

"They should be hiding somewhere on zones of the 24th floor of South American. We don't know how many there are. Unless they see us die in a fight, they would assume we simply ran away. Should they reach that conclusion, our humans would be terminated without mercy," Herman explained.

As the conquistador spoke, I suddenly felt my three inactive {Kindred} links all come alive. I couldn't help but smile at the safe return of Jas, Liv and Lilly.

'Welcome back you three.'

'Husband, I have returned.'

'It feels so nice to be once again connected to your link, Beloved. Even if it was only few hours, it was suffocating.'

'Fufu, indeed. We would need to give a reward to the Anvil team. But on a different note, Dearest, Exa has brought us up to speed. Do you need us for something?'

As always, my girls were so reliable it scared me sometimes. They probably intended to silently watch the situation first to maximize the impact of the Awakened. Because of their prudence, we now had a good opportunity to spring a trap.

'Yes, Dear, you came at the perfect time. Bella, can you create a plan for the Hammer team. I on the other hand...'

Cutting me off, Bella sounded fed up as she guessed. 'Will be challenging one or both of them to a no holds barred fight. And the Hammer team will use that as cover to capture the observers? Right, Mr. Code?'

'…Did you develop mind reading {fates}? Was I that obvious?' I asked in confusion.

'Haha, it's not that, Beloved. More like, it is in your nature?'

'I don't think any of us believe you would let the chance to duel a Specter pass by, Dearest.'

'Cause Possum is a fucking battle junkie!'

'Yep! yep! How else would Darling grow at such an insane pace? You don't even need my soulgear to figure that out!'

'I would be more surprised if you didn't challenge them for a fight, Husband.'

'Sigh, truthfully catching the observers is probably just a convenient excuse, for Shujin.'

How long has it been since the Sirens ganged up on me like this? It was almost nostalgic in a way. But their familiarity with my personality just showed how much their understood me. Rather than creepy or annoying, I found it endearing instead.

Feeling the emotions of all my girls naturally made me feel glad to be alive. It was only when all seven of my links were resonating with emptions did I feel at peace.

'Haha, well you caught me. Even then, can I rely on you, my {Kindred}?'

'YES, MY LORD!' x7

Aki gave me kiss on my cheek before standing up and leaving the tent. Bella fixed the contract I just signed and handed it to the Specters.

"We will take care of the observers. Once you sign this, Limitless will conduct a ceremony with you. After you complete that ceremony, only then will this contract be honored. If you have no further questions, please sign now."

Carlos and Herman looked at each other before signing my document. In any agreement someone had to show goodwill first. Roach cleansing them for free was already proof of our abilities.

While they were cleansed of Malice, so long as they remain Reapers, they would need such a service again. If they had any brains at all they would know that they no longer had any choice but to become our allies. We were the one with bargaining power in this agreement.

After they signed, Bella took the contract and infused it with soul, then stacked them with the two other contracts which magically gained the signatures of the two Specters and me.

"There. These are your copies. In the future should you wish to invoke one or more of the clauses this will serve as your proof. This will be known as the Treaty of Nerio. I shall take my leave. You will now proceed with the next part of the ceremony."

Bella similarly kissed my cheek before heading outside. Naturally, she must already be discussing with the Sirens to plan how to find and catch the observers.

After she left, I was left behind with Carlos and Herman. Specters who now belonged to Nerio's Army. Bella didn't make a big deal of it but the ceremony she mentioned was giving these two {Call my Name}.

I took out a cup and nicked my finger yet again with a small needle made from {Shelter} and squeezed my blood into the cup. For our plan to come to fruition, we need to fake the death of the entire army plus these Specters.

Carlos's {Fractured Reality} was like a mass {Rewind}, so just butchering the army like we did in the past would work. The problem was how to make him vanish as well. Thinking I could just have him {Rewind} to some point I took out a .45 ACP round.

I handed the cup to Carlos and told him what came next.

"I will give you my {Kismet}, it will allow me to know exactly where you are. I grant this to all my soldiers and allies, even Roach. If you cannot trust me enough to invoke it, we have no deal."

"We understand." X2

Both of them drank and waited for further instructions.

"The keyword for the command is {In the name of Limitless}."

"{In the name of Limitless}." X2

A powerful surge of soul radiated from both men. Surprisingly neither commented on the power my {Kismet} granted.

[My lord, I deactivated everything aside from {Kill Switch}, if you wish to grant them the power, just let me know.]

'Okay, thanks Exa.'

"Perfect, now we are in business. As our first team building exercise. You two will fight me like your lives depended on it."

"Huh?" x2
