《Wholly Undead》Chapter 130: So Many Churches need to be Built!
Advertisement
"This is Bellum," Jack said as he gazed upon the golden hologram of a large city.
Lucius was nearing numbness, as he stood to look at this oddly built city complex.
The city was built in two tiers, with large sectors on the bottom level, and huge roads leading in and out of the City in four directions. The top tier was smaller in size, but with many housing districts from what Lucius could see. Next to all four major roads that led into the City Center were smaller roads that flanked the bigger highways that led to the second tier.
"This here Lucius is what I would call an Industrial City. Unlike Zitergall, which was built over time and forged into a city of industry, this City will be built with it in mind. The four major roads here will be for import and export, and these roads lead to the housing districts. This City will accommodate one hundred thousand workers and enough factories that will power our war machine."
"War... War Machine?" Lucius asked hesitantly.
"Yes. War Machine... No longer will I sit idly by as other kingdoms, nations, and trash look to our home with greedy eyes. My dear Julia asked me for two things. She asked for me to conquer all of the Ruined Continent, and she asked for war... So, War Eternal, I shall give her."
"My lord, war is bad for conversion!" Lucius finally understood the purpose of Bellum.
"Is that so, Lucius? I don't think so."
"If we bring war to other kingdoms, then this will draw resentment to their people, and make it harder for Us to convert them! We can simply work our way into their kingdoms and nations and use the faith of the church to overturn their governments." Lucius described well.
"This is certainly a good method, but one that takes a long time... Moreover, it may or may not produce results. I will meet you halfway. We will clean out the filth of our enemies but will not touch the people. The people are not the ones in charge of their kingdoms and should not be harmed because of the stupidities of their leaders."
Lucius' posture showed his favor of this option, so Jack continued, "We will grant asylum to those that are captured, and we will quickly rebuild that which we destroy. Our armies will always be followed by workers to clean up our mess, but We will use the Materials from those that We conquer, as not to drain those here at home."

Lucius made some mental notes, as he looked at Bellum in a different light.
Jack finished, waiting for Lucius to catch up.
"Jack... This model of Bellum is great, but... I think it's missing something."
Jack felt astonished... What could he have missed???
"What is it missing???" Jack asked in concern.
"Where's the church?"
"Church?"
"...The Church for you... So, your faithful can worship you as the God-King... There isn't any church here..." Lucius spoke baffled. How does a god forget his own church and worshipers!
"Oh... This is indeed a problem."
"Tux reconstruct Bellum, with a church in the center. Base it off the grandest design within my Library."
"Reporting to Creator! As this is a minor change, please allow Tux five minutes."
"Alright."
"How did you forget the church?"
"I was in military mode, Lucius... Military mode! Forgive me!" Jack held Emily with his right arm, as he facepalmed with his left, as he leaned onto his desk. This was indeed a large oversight.
"Jack, my lord... I'm sure a lot is on your mind." Lucius looked at the tiny consort in Jack's arms.
Jack felt Lucius' gaze travel to his arms, in a way he wasn't sure, but he could feel it fall on Emily.
"Hey! It's not just because of that reason..."
"Jack, I don't think I have to tell you that the death of heroes and villains lay in the embrace of women," Lucius spoke to this point.
"...You're right, Lucius. You're right." Jack didn't fight Lucius on this point, as it was true. How many great people, terrible and the like were ruined by lovers?
"As long as you know, then it's fine." Lucius comforted Jack.
"Lucius, another thing. I think the throne built for Leslie is great work!"
"Thank you, my lord."
"But I also want you to build one for Emily, on the other side of my Throne." Jack requested.
"..." Lucius really wondered did he hear any of what he just said, or did it float into that thick skull of his and float out having no contact with his mind...
"God-King, Lucius... God-King." Jack reminded.
"Why do you bring that up after just a bit of scrutiny?" Lucius jokingly asked.
"Because your gaze is too intense, Lucius!"
"Alright! Hahaha" Lucius laughed loudly.

Jack and Lucius spoke about the throne for Emily for a few minutes, until Jack's Laptop chimed again.
"Ah, good!" Jack looked to his Laptop again, "Tux in the future list all spells that show information about projects as 'Display spells.'"
"Tux acknowledges."
"Please create a Display spell for the Project Bellum Revised."
"Calculating... Done... Display spell ready for Creator."
Jack again hummed the spell on the screen, "Diflom."
A slightly altered version of Bellum displayed, but on the top tier where the housing was kept, in the center of the stood a large grand Cathedral on par with that in Saigunrai, the seat of the church.
"What a grand design!" Lucius applauded.
"It does look nice. Good job, Tux." Jack glanced at his laptop and praised.
"Tux aims to please, Creator."
Jack nodded a few times, as he manipulated the design to look at the inner structure and seen massive columns drove deep into the ground all over the City to support the weight of the top tier, and the columns for the Cathedral were even grander. This would require construction equipment from his last life.
As Jack was pondering this point, Lucius spoke up regarding this problem, "Jack how do We drive down such massive sporting pillars? I mean I can casually chuck ten thousand undead at this and more, but this won't be a problem of undead power, as much as it will pose a time issue. There is no way We can erect these supports in the time frame given... This is at least a six-month job if We are working around the clock, and I get the Templar reserves to assist."
"Hmmm... What if I do it." Jack mused aloud.
"What?"
"I will ascend to my God-Form and drive these pillars into the ground. Would that speed up construction? I could have all three hundred and forty-three pillars down in a day or two."
Lucius who was about to cut in, with his finger raised... Dropped his finger!
This... This was not only possible, but it would be literally a god creating a city!
[I could market this! The faithful would pilgrimage here to Saigunrai to see the God-King up-close work for the undead! We could even sell seats and then there are hotels we can set up for temporary housing to rent to them!]
"MY LORD YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS!" Lucius yelled loudly, causing the loli in Jack's arms to stir.
"Ah...?" Jack always figured he was but didn't want to assume.
Lucius calmed down slightly, after Jack tilted his head slightly in a questioning posture, "My lord, Leave this to me! I can set this up. No problems, but..." Lucius stopped to think... It would take time for the pilgrims to make it to Saigunrai... It would be a month for some locations and longer for the most distance cities!
"Ah... My lord, can I ask you for a favor?"
"A favor?"
"Yes... When it comes time to clear the land and set the foundation... Can you bring the pilgrims to Saigunrai to watch your work?"
"What pilgrims???" Jack asked astonishedly.
"Well, it's like this..." Lucius explained his thoughts and plans.
"Lucius... I really do wonder about you." Jack shook his head in wonderment. Lucius loved money. He wondered if the Church wasn't the faith of the God-King, but the faith of money!
"With all this income, I can pump it into Bellum, among other projects for the church. The Cathedral here in Saigunrai could use some expansion, and We need a new larger Cathedral in Nogore, and We need to build smaller churches in the numerous smaller villages, and We need to build churches in the north with the Barbarian Tribes, and We need to build churches in Borda, and We need to send more missionaries to Neolith, and-"
"Lucius, I get it!" Jack cut Lucius off... He might of went all day if this continued.
"I'm sorry, my lord." Lucius looked down.
"Nothing to apologize for... You made your point very clear. I can lend a hand in this. Have each city build a plate for the faithful to stand on, and I will bring it here. I leave the rest to you."
"Of course!" Lucius was experiencing euphoria; just how much could he generate would be limited only by his imagination...
[We need to have some services that day... Let's have the God-King preach to the masses in his God-Form... Not just the faithful here could hear him, but everyone could... More converts!]
