Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 899: Because my {Kindred} asked [2/2]



"W-Wha…A-Antarctica? You wish to reclaim the North?"

Seeing how unhinged Zanele became, it was like seeing Zach's reaction a second time. For those who had extremely long lifetimes, the rate at which I was doing things probably seemed aggressive as fuck.

"I am aware of coming army in two months. Amari told me about it. But I don't really care. I do not have an alliance with Africa. Everything I am doing right now is because of the lives Amari saved. It does not concern the rest of your continent."

The woman in front of me hesitated for a moment before clarifying, "You mean because he saved the Sins?"

"Yes. I love my girls very much. Help then and I will treat you as my friend. Hurt them and I will kill you. The only reason the South American army is still alive is because Bella asked me to save them. Otherwise, they would all have become soulgear."

"…"

"For the African's who will attack me, I will not fault Africa as a whole. But know that I will butcher them to the last. I have no time to spare for the will of sheep. I only have one goal, Zanele. Everything I do if for that purpose."

"May you enlighten me Successor? What is it you wish to accomplish?"

"I will close Hellsgate. That is my goal. It is why I will ascend to a Revenant; And why I will fight not just to survive but to end the need for Reapers," I said curtly.

"B-But that's..."

"Impossible? So, I have been told. But then again, they said it was impossible to fly right? Or go to the moon? But people still did it. Just to prove my point, I will use Antarctica as a staging ground. I will purge the Reborn and restore Antarctica as a battlefront."

"Is this because of your directive as a Successor?" Zanele asked in trepidation.

"What? No, it isn't. I wish to spend the rest of my days in peace loving my harem. That is my greatest desire. but I cannot do that if the world ends."

"For such a simple reason? But why? Why would you do all this for a land that the world has already given up on?"

Zanele's question was true. If even the Revenants did not do anything all this time, who was I? But when have I ever cared about such shit? I will reclaim the North not because of its people or its strength.

"I will save the North because my {Kindred} asked me too. As a side benefit, it would reinforce the defense of Hellsgate as a whole."

"I cannot make sense of this. Because of your {Kindred}? You mean your spouse? Why would your {Kindred} care about another continent?"

"That's because he is married to the Valkyrie of Ivaldi. The disowned daughter of his majesty the Unbreakable. One of the few last Northerners who wish to fight for the North," a masculine voice interjected

Two figures came into the hut. It was Amari pulling behind a Mia who seemed meek as mouse. From the way she twisted her body she seemed to have released a lot of tension.

"I apologize for being late mother. Please allow me to join the meeting."

"You may, take a seat my son."

Amari's short distraction caused the group to pipe down. After he and Mia took their seats, the matriarch resumed the meeting.

"Liv Ivaldi is your {Kindred}?! How? When? the news said she died on her way to the North. I never thought she would be one of your Sins Which sin does she carry?"

Zanele's reaction was kind of unexpected. However, granted that she knew more about the Successors it was understandable. If I remember correctly, the Sin assignment was as follows.

{Store} was a dead giveaway for Lilly's designation as Greed. Robyn was Wrath, obvious to anyone who met my Sheila. Envy the color associated with green happened to be Jo's favorite. Blanche called Bella the mother of AIs, Sloth.

Jas, my chocolate sadist on the other hand got the sin Lust. Gluttony naturally fell to Aki my Japanese Kamisan who had a {fate} called Eat. Which left Pride for my Norther beloved who had a righteous personality and unyielding will.

"Blanche called her Pride."

"Ugh. This is so confusing…lets back track a bit Successor."

"Okay."

The elders who originally had hostile gazes not were all pondering. Contrary to when we started, they no longer emitted any negativity. The impression they gave was that of scholars deliberating over a problem.

"While I understand that your Awakened can cleanse malice. You should know about the wide difference between a Phantom and Specter, correct? The gap between the difference of a Specter and a Revenant is even greater!"

Expecting this point, I nodded before answering. "I am aware. And I believe, Juno and her brood can handle it."

"How can you be so sure, Successor?" one of the elders asked respectfully.

"We can just have her explain herself."

"What?" "How?" "Impossible!" "What in the world?!"

While the rest of the elders all babbled about how I was going to do it, I sent my mind into the links of the Hammer team.

'Liv, Lilly, Jas are you there? Can you all hear me?'

'Always my love, and yes, I can. Hearing your voice brings me great joy.'

'Yes Husband, as your wife that is only expected of me. What can I do for you?'

'I am here, Dearest. I already have an inkling of what you wish of us.'

'Thank you all, please send Juno to my position. Roach as well if possible.'

'Understood. Give us five minutes, Dearest. Liv and Jas already brought there here when the Anvil shared what you were about to do. My goodness, you are up to something crazy again, aren't you?'

'It's not really THAT crazy…'

'Dearest, you plan to bait the Africans into fighting harder for you in Antarctica, no? The same way you did to Zach. But what do you plan to ask of them?'

'The 24th floor.'

'But you already…wait you intend to continue your plan to ask for the 24th floor of Africa?'

'Yes.'

'Sigh…As always dearest, your insanity never ceases to amaze me. Forget about you trying to bargain with Revenants. You do not intend to stop with just Africa, right?'

'Ho? How did you know?'

'Ugh, this is frustrating. Jasmine correctly predicted what you would do.'

'Ah, well she can see the future.'

'Tsk. How infuriating. I refuse to allow anyone else to know you better than I do! Just wait and see! Juno and Roach have arrived. Liv, Jas and I will be sending them now.'

'Thank you. No need to feel competitive with her Dearest, I adore you just as much,' I added.

'Hmph! You and your glib tongue!'

I then notice Bella get up and raise her hand. The African's all flinched unsure what was going to happen. Some of the elders positions themselves between Zanele and Bella. I ignored them and focused on the open space Bella faced.

"{Accept}. {Gate}."

The orange light from Lilly's {Portals} glimmered in the open space. It them carved a small semi-circle on the ground. Much like before it looked mesmerizing like a kaleidoscope. The {Gate} then abruptly opened and showed a couple of figures from the others side.

Unfortunately, these people were not the ones I expected. Their faces did not match anyone I knew. But I could feel immense power radiating from them. A beautiful man and a bi-pedaled Lizard knight stepped out.

"Juno? Roach? What the fuck happened to you two?" I asked in disbelief.
