CHAPTER 490
Even though in the Kingdom of Dunnas and especially in the Heavenly Palace, everything was going smoothly, the continent was not as calm as it seemed. While it is true that everyone was glad that the threat of the abismals had been eliminated, they were not the only problem in this world.
The abysmals were dangerous due to their tendency towards chaos and massacre, but this was something that could not be blamed on them, as it was innate to their nature, since it came from the corruption of the blood of the fallen god.
If you had to find which of the races on the continent were the most dangerous and insidious, it was undoubtedly humans. They are so troublesome, that even with the abysmal that are everyone's enemies in sight, they did not stop carrying out their plans.
A perfect example was Dustas of Tripia, who took over one of the most lucrative sea routes in the kingdom of Cannes and could now trade with distant countries and generate wealth that he would then use in his attempt to expand leading to war.
Although that was worrying, no one had noticed it and he was not the most problematic. Further north of the continent, there was a group of people who had more macabre plans, but that very few knew about.
In the country of Glory in the northwest of the continent, a group of people gathered in a dark room. This group was anything but normal and very few knew their intentions.
The 5 figures were covered in layers of different colors, but they had something in common and that was that they did not allow their identities to be seen. Although these 5 worked with a common goal, none of them knew the identity of the other and this was one of the reasons why few knew of their existence.
The organization calls itself, "Purgatory" and these 5 are called the envoys of the abyss. Their capes were black, red, blue, green, and gray, and each one led an organization identified with the color of these capes.
Unexpectedly, they were fervent believers of the fallen god 1,000 years ago, but unlike the abysmal, they had not been corrupted by this fallen god. They had survived the war on the lost continent and since then, they had been moving in the shadows to resurrect the fallen god.
In the war of the lost continent, not all the enemies were abysmal, there were also some humans who in their greed for divinity joined the fallen god against the inhabitants of the continent.
During this millennium on several occasions, they had tried to revive the fallen god, but they had always been stopped by the dragon clan, which is why the old dragon who now guarded the well with the blood of the fallen god on the lost continent had appeared.
No one knew better what had happened in that war than the dragons and they knew that there were still supporters who wanted to bring chaos and destruction. The dragons had hidden behind the excuse that the inhabitants of the continent treated them like monsters, but in reality, their reason was different.
To this day, everyone believes that the only thing the fallen god had left behind was his blood on the lost continent, but the dragons knew that was not true, in fact, they knew that was the least of their worries.
Killing a god even when he falls into depravity is not that easy to do, especially in a mortal world, so when the gods killed the fallen one 1,000 years ago, they could not destroy him completely.
The most they could do was dismember his body and seal up his body parts. The fallen god was divided into 6 parts, the head, his two arms, his two legs, and his body.
Each part was sealed in inaccessible places and with exhaustive security measures, but there is nothing infallible in this world. The dragons were the only clan that knew this information since the gods entrusted them with this information when they saw that they were the most powerful, long-lived, and, above all, wisest race.
This last part is important because the fact of being wise allowed them not to be greedy and would keep them away from the temptation of power that the body of the fallen god could generate.
Unfortunately, even in the race of the wisest, there are fools and a few centuries ago a power-hungry dragon revealed the secret of the body of the fallen god got in contact with these 5 men, and founded this organization.
The dragons know the location of 3 of the sealed parts of the fallen god and even keep an eye on them, to avoid misfortune. Half of the parts are unknown since the gods did not inform them with the intention of preventing the worst from happening in case of an eventuality.
This decision was correct because thanks to that this rebellious dragon would not be able to know where these 3 parts were. The problem is that recently and thanks to the uproar of the abysmals in the lost continent, many demigods and experts were there, leaving the continent with less surveillance and that allowed this organization to move without scruple and they had found one of the arms.
As the dragons knew of the existence and plans of this traitor of their race, they were always aware of any movement, but the commotion of the abysmals distracted them and that allowed the traitor and his companions to make a move. Read new adventures at empire
It turns out that the right arm of the fallen god was hidden in the country of Glory and although the seal was still upright and they could not reach it, the fact of having found it was already a problem.
The country of Glory is a small democratic republic that is neither powerful nor flashy and is located in the middle of a group of small countries in the northwest of the continent.
That region is known as the region of chaos since there are 7 small democratic countries, but they have been at war with each other for centuries. It's not that they are in combat all the time, but every few years, wars break out between them.
It is for this same reason that no one messes with them, since it is a region devastated by war and without much benefit for the countries close to it. Despite being in constant war, they have a strong unit against foreigners, so no one attacks them.
Neighboring countries prefer to profit from their constant wars by selling weapons and food, but that is because they do not know that this region is really not as chaotic as it looks.
The organization called Purgatory had already taken control over this area, but they had maintained a state of conflict for years, so as not to attract attention. In fact, the reason for the wars in this region is due to the seepage of corruption from the right arm of the fallen god or at least it was until a few years ago.
Currently, it is due to the hidden hand of this organization that they intend to maintain appearances while releasing the seal. Thanks to the abysmals, the traitor dragon had been able to make big moves to release the seal without being discovered and that is why these 5 were meeting.
They had maintained a period of peace in the region since they could not always fight, but since they now needed to make big moves to undo the seal, they were planning war.
Where there is chaos, attention is focused, but due to the background of this region, everything will seem normal, so they can make their moves. These 5 are in a few words the collaborators of the traitor dragon.
This dragon had told them to cause chaos, to divert attention when he released the seal. This seal is not easy to break, but the traitor dragon had already studied this seal for several years, so he was confident in releasing it.
Although the dragon clan was attentive to what was happening on the continent, their numbers and resources were limited and they could not know everything that was happening, so they were unaware that the traitor had found part of the body of the fallen god.
While reviving the fallen god requires 6 parts of his body and the dragon clan protects 3, if the fallen god's diluted blood created such powerful abysmals, just imagine what one arm can do.
The continent was in danger, but no one knew it. Continuing his quiet life, Andrew was in the room with his wives, enjoying the pleasures of love and lust.
Surprisingly, that night, Andrew's third divine seal was released. The momentary explosion of divinity alerted all the demigods in the city, especially the 3 elders in Dunnas Castle.
The most incredible thing is that this time the gains were enormous, because Andrew not only reached the strength of a low senior expert, but the abilities of his wives and apostles were strengthened.
His employees and concubines also received gifts from him and although minimal, they were not insignificant for ordinary people like them. His guardians benefited the most as they received a substantial strengthening, especially Sansa, Oliver, and Castor who are the most powerful.
Although they did not break up to a major level, Castor was one step away from becoming a super expert, Oliver reached the peak of super expert by mating with Sansa, but she also increased her strength.
Sansa was already a peak super expert, but she had only entered that level, but now with this strengthening received after Andrew releasing the third divine seal she only needed a push to join the ranks of a master expert.
These increases in power were not easy, but the most surprising thing was that Daphne, Diana, and Ariza had also received benefits from Andrew. They do not have seals of any kind, but they had gotten so close to Andrew that they received blessings similar to those received by his employees and that alerted everyone in the royal castle of Dunnas.
