Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Outside near the Deanox Tree, an oval-shaped makeshift wooden table with exquisite appearance had twelve people sitting around it, with more chairs empty.

There were other people standing as well, two each behind their respective guild leaders.

Isabella, Sameira, Kenshin, Khalil, Yagun, Regina, Charles, Kaflan, and four more guild leaders were at the table, waiting for Erix and others to return.

"So can you tell us something about this meeting aside from that clan?" Regina asked in surprise. She was the guild leader of the Rose Throne guild.

"Can you tell us how you got the information while we wait?" a middle-aged slim man curiously asked. He was Charles—the guild leader of SkyKnight guild.

"You'll know soon," Kenshin snorted. " just wait and talk about how you are doing these days. Barely hanging at top 50?"

Everyone dryly chuckled.

Isabella wryly smiled and said to everyone, "Today might not be a pleasant day for many. You are here for a specific purpose, so all I can tell you is to have patience and think wisely about the matters that will unfold."

Yagun Mubei clenched his fists under the table. 'Father, why don't we try that method too? We can look for people from other areas. Who will find out if we collaborate with the Heimklad clan? They told us about it because they want to do it.'

His father who stood behind him internally grunted at his son. 'We can't do that carelessly. I am waiting for an opportunity that can distract the Unfettered Fate guild further. If Erix and Rin find out our intentions, they won't spare us so shut up and don't mention it or even think about it until I say.'

Suddenly, everyone felt a strange force nearby and then multiple auras under the tree as Erix, Rin, Aria, Lilith, Lily, Maleina, and Amu emerged from a portal with Erix's long-distance teleport portal.

"Good, we can start it right away," Erix smiled upon seeing everyone sitting at the table.

Soon, Erix, Rin, Aria, Lilith, and Lily sat at the five empty chairs while Maleina stood behind Erix and Amu sat on the table, its tens of eyes looking at everyone.

Everyone finally found out why there were five more chairs empty.

'Honey, who are those three women?' Sameira asked Rin.

Rin gave a chuckle to her mother internally and said, 'The one sitting beside me is Lilith. The most powerful among us right now and most likely on the Earth too. She is our sugar mommy.'

'W-what?'

"Everyone, today is a very important day," Erix began speaking.

Meanwhile, Rin replied to her mother. 'I mean, she is my sister just like Aria. The one beside Lilith is Lily and she is also the same. Yeah, that's right. It's the harem. But the one behind Erix is our maid.'

Kenshin glanced at Sameira. 'Is it what I think it is?'

Sameira nodded with a weak smile.

'That woman has nearly the same horns as our daughter. Their bloodline should same,' Kenshin said. 'And she feels most powerful, even more powerful than Erix.'

'She is.'

Meanwhile, Erix just finished telling them about a part of the Zerian clan's intentions that Isabella had already told to Kenshin and Sameira.

"We have neutralized the Zerian clan, so they are not a threat anymore. Instead, they'll become a subordinate clan of Unfettered Guild," Erix said before his expression slowly turned severe. "However, this meeting has another purpose."

"Zerian clan is not a threat, but they have called someone that will be a threat to everyone in our world," Erix said.

Everyone was surprised.

Isabella nodded at Sameira and Kenshin. She didn't tell them about the threat because even she didn't know the intensity of the threat. She told them that they would know soon.

"But before we tell you about it, you all have a choice to make," Rin smiled, but it looked ominous due to the choice of words and her tone.

Erix glanced at every guild leader and said, "From now on, every guild will act as a subordinate guild of the Unfettered Kingdom."

"But," Rin immediately spoke after Erix finished, "You will have automation of your guilds, but we'll have a hierarchy and a ranking for extra resource allocation and priority selection for various things."

Everyone was shocked.

"In short, those with potential and work hardest will get more resources and help." Erix smiled. "No nepotism. Only merit."

"W-why? Aren't things good as they are?"

"That's right. Boss Erix, can you tell us about the so-called threat first?"

Lilith's eyes glinted and her lips stretched a devilish smile, "The threat that's coming will directly give you a taste of despair...unless you become our subordinate and progress steadily."

"So this is only a bad choice for those who make the wrong choice," Erix smiled before he connected his spiritual sense to Sameira, Kenshin, Khalil, Kaflan, and Regina.

Their faces became surprised after a second upon hearing Erix's thought message.

"Those who didn't get my spiritual message just now, stand up please, "Erix calmly gestured with his hand as his spirit force gave the people pressure as seven guild leaders stood up.

They glanced at each other briefly before turning to Erix, evidently confused.

"Make your choice," Erix said. "Leave if you don't want to become subordinate guild."

They gulped as if in sync.

"Are you serious?" Yagun Mubei asked with a grim expression.

"You have three seconds," Rin snorted.

Sameira and Kenshin glanced at their longstanding rival family's head, who was Yagun Mubei's father, and only saw his indifferent face.

'This bastard is scheming something,' Kenshin duly noted.

'Yep,' Sameira scoffed. 'I think we should get rid of him and this clan already.'

Before the three seconds passed, six of the seven agreed to become subordinate guilds.

"Is that your final choice?" Erix asked. He was not looking at Black Swan's leader, but the father of that leader.

"We will become your subordinate guild," Yagun Mubei's father said after releasing a sigh.

'Father?!'

'Shut up. We can agree verbally and join them. This is better than outright rejecting them.'

Aria tugged Erix's robe from below the table. 'That bald guy is hiding it well, both of them harbor negative intentions towards us.'

'Should I mark them with my spirit gaze so we can keep an eye on them? But you have to get us out of Sanctuary Area for that.'

'Do it,' Erix's eyes glinted and he controlled the Blessed Island, moving it out of Sanctuary Area in the next second and continued moving the Island towards the Moondawn Elf clan.

"Fine, sit down," Erix said to Yagun, but everyone was confused as to why the Island was moving.

It also made Yagun's father jittery because they were officially in danger.

'Yagun. Keep calm and act like a mutt. Don't fucking offend them because if you do, neither Erix nor Rin will hesitate to remove us. We are fucking ants right now. Remember that.'

"Why are we traveling?" Regina confusedly asked. Discover stories with m,v l'e|m-p| y r

"To expand the Unfettered Kingdom, so we can stand against what's coming," Rin said and gestured at Lilith with his open palm at her. "Lilith will tell us more about it."

"You can easily imagine the vastness of the cosmos after experiencing so much, so I'll cut to the core," Lilith smiled. "There are many planets like this that receive the influence of Mystic Root so people can get stronger like what's happening in this world."

"But there are also organizations in the cosmos that target growing planets and their evolving population. They make them slaves, take them away, and force them to work for them."

"One such organization is coming here. Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom. I don't know when they will arrive here. It could be ten days or a month, depending on the distance, but they will be here sooner than later. That I can guarantee."

Everyone was utterly startled at this sudden bomb of information.

'You guys are not making it up, right?' Sameira asked.

'Of course not, mom. We are actually in a pinch now,' Rin wryly smiled. 'That's why we have to make Unfettered Kingdom as big as possible and make people work for us in such a way that everyone benefits and progress faster.'

'We'll be dominating clans and guilds alike and pool extra resources and everything of theirs. All top rankers and people with potential must rise faster. If we don't unite and create a big bubble of at least one million people, it will be hard to resist them.'

'How do you know so much about them?' Kenshin asked in surprise.

'Lilith knows about that organization and she told us that we'll need to speed up. Since she know how they work, she made a plan.'

Lilith was telling everyone about the Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom and how terrifying they were.

"The laws of Mystic Root will prevent them from accomplishing their goals directly, but they will come with manpower and resources to do their bid," Lilith narrowed her eyes. "If they succeed, you can forget about the word 'Freedom'. It will no longer exist for you."

Everyone's faces looked as if they were having trouble processing this.

"Do you have…any proof?" Charles hesitantly asked.

Erix raised his eyebrows, "Do you think we need to lie to you? We have 3000 slaves and you know that."

"If we want to make you obedient, we can do that in another way," Rin coldly snorted. "But we need to unite and work in such a way that benefits everyone."

"In short, we are your only hope," Erix grinned, his eyes glinting as everyone suddenly felt a chill. "Do you know that Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom will try to ally themselves with the strongest guild and people?"

Lilith chuckled, "They actually try their best to recruit the strongest guild and people, treating them as equal because they respect power and potential. That's how this organization grows."

"So…who do you think will they choose?"

At that moment, everyone indeed realized why Erix said that Unfettered Kingdom was their only hope…to prevent a bleak future.
