Let’s go back to a simpler time. Around 3 years ago when Miko was still training in the Primus World to become king.

Luka was in her office in Fate’s secret base. Fate was the group that Luka created to help her take the throne when the time was right. The group mostly specialized in covert operations, but there were those other than Luka who specialized in combat.

These people were Luka’s most trusted subordinates and friends.

These friends were now standing in front of her.

“I want to talk to all of you about something.”

Luka said.

“Why so serious, Lulu? If you want us to do something just give the order.”

Said Robin, who was Luka’s righthand man.

Hearing his words, Luka calmed down a little. It was natural for her to feel nervous, because what she was about to order them to do was not only dangerous but will force them to abandon their current lifestyles.

“Miko has asked something of us. It’s something very important to the future of this kingdom.”

“How important?”

Asked the slim built girl, who was wearing a hood to hide her pointy ears and golden hair. She was the elf who once fought Ace, Ana.

“If we succeed, according to Miko this country will turn into a global powerhouse.”

Luka answered.

“Could he be exaggerating?”

Asked a distinguish looking man with a claw shape eyepatch over his right eye. He was the lion beastman who once fought Hina, Saika. He was previously an old wild looking man, but after undergoing strict training under Aeon for three years he’s gotten a lot stronger and has reached the level where he could suppress his aging and return to the age where his body was at its strongest. His demeanor have also changed after unlocking his true potential.

“I don’t think he is. He only gave me parts of the plan, but I have to admit that it is brilliant.”

Luka answered.

“Luka, I don’t really trust that boy.”

Said a tall, attractive woman wearing a muffler around her neck. She was Aya who once fought Sora using impressive wind abilities.

“I don’t blame you for not trusting him. Even though my impression of him is a lot better now, I don’t trust him fully myself.”

Luka said.

“But you think that it will succeed.”

Said Robin.

“If this works, it will show results in the next couple years; Miko promised that I will have my revenge on Dario long before it. At least with this goal I’ll have another goal to live for after I get my revenge.”

Luka replied.

“I feel like Miko will continue to give me goals to strive for.”

She muttered.

When they heard her mutter, everyone had the same thought.

‘This girl is falling in love and doesn’t seem to know it.’

Once they thought that, they all sighed.

“This is the worst case scenario that we really hope wouldn’t happen.”

Said Aya.

“What do you mean?”

Luka asked.

“No, its nothing.”

Said Aya.

“So what do you want us to do?”

Asked the person who was silent the whole time. He was a young boy with white hair and green eyes, Remi. He was a vampire who fought and lost to Sasha.

“I want you guys to infiltrate a couple countries.”

She pointed at Robin.

“Robin, I want you to infiltrate the Aloe Kingdom and gain their trust. You can bad mouth the kingdom or even myself when doing it, just gain their trust and feed them wrong information. I’ll give you a list of Miko’s upcoming plans that will gather attention in the coming years. Use them to prove your worth to the kingdom. Also it’s important that you make them believe that Miko has a mysterious backer behind him and that he’s nothing but a puppet.”

She gave a thick file to Robin.

“These are all the tactics that you can use and stuff you can say to gain their trust. Your job is the most important because we can’t begin our conquest without it being successful.”

“Damn….I mean I’ll do my best.”

Robin looked at the thick file and said.

She then looked at the others.

“The rest of you will have tasks that might be less dangerous but as equally as important as Robin’s.”

Luka said, and took up some files and put it on her desk.

“I want you four to infiltrate these empires and slowly but surely plant seeds of discord in the core of the empire, its people. I want you to gain the people’s trust and make it so that yourself will be seen as heroes in their minds. How you do it will be up to you, but I advise you to start off small and do everyday things that will give you a good reputation, and slowly work your way up as a local hero; all while staying under the government radar as long as possible.”

“That sounds like an incredibly hard task.”

Said Saika.

“Of course it is. This kind of job requires not only intelligence, but Charisma and presence. You’ll all need to grow stronger as well so that you can escape in case something happens where you need to show your strength.”

Luka said.

“But I believe that you all can do it, and so does Miko.”

“Miko does?”

Luka nodded.

“He could’ve used the servants of the Primus branch, but he chose to use you guys because he saw the potential that you all hold.”

Hearing that, Robin and the others didn’t know how to react. They disliked Miko, that was because he almost killed all of them before. So to hear him say that made them a bit confused.

“But you guys don’t need to worry. Other than Robin, I’ll dispatch the entirety of Fate to give you all the assistance you need. They’ll also work in the shadows to uncover the countries darkest secrets and share it with the people. They’ll blackmail officials and show the ugliness of those running the country. There will also be a huge war going on in the future, use that as your signal to cause a rebellion in the countries.”

Luka said.

“Cause a rebellion? How?”

Ana asked.

“The others will systematically release the dirty secrets of those in the governments and cause the people to distrust those in power. Each times that happens I want you to do something to boost your reputation among the people with heroic deeds. Once the people faith in you reaches the right levels, our agents working in the shadows will slowly emerge in society and implant the idea of making you all the leaders of the countries in the mind of the people. Eventually the people will call for your leadership themselves.”

Luka answered.

“Once the war gets underway, the citizens will feel pressured and start blaming the government for every lost the country experiences. Once they see that their opponent is too terrifying and could possible destroy them at anytime, they’ll get desperate for a way out. That’s when you really start to make your presence known and grabbed the people support, while tactfully implanting the idea of an uprising in their minds. Everything else will fall in place then. Your goal is to cause a rebellion while the empires are in dire straits. After that, you can just make yourself disappear and watch the show.”

“But won’t the higher ups in the empires notice us and try to get rid of us beforehand.”

Luka shook her head.

“The enemy that they’re facing will be so fierce that they can’t afford to direct their attention somewhere else. So even if they notice you, they can’t deal with you immediately.”

She answered.

“I don’t think everyone will want to rebel though.”

Said Remi.

“What if it was the empires who picked a fight with us first? Won’t the people feel that the government was stupid to pick a fight that they couldn’t win and get pounded afterwards? They’ll be angry when they see how much they’ve lost because of the government’s recklessness. Love ones, money, property, their peace of mind; once the people realized they lost these things because of their emperors, they’ll flip.”

Luka replied.

“You mean Miko will make them be the aggressors and not us?”

“Yeah, he has it all planned out apparently.”

“If that’s true, then that brat is more terrifying than we thought.”

Said Saika.

“Winning a war years before you even fight it…..That’s scary.”

Said Remi.

“These files will explain everything else you need to know.”

Luka said.

“Miko has sent us all enough funds to carry your missions and more. He will also lend a few servants to help you out since you’ll need to travel from country to country over the next few years. They’ll also assist in spreading your fame and blackmailing officials to make your jobs easier. So you all can do your job with comfort of mind.”

“Wait, Lulu. What about you?”

Robin asked.

“I’ll be staying here waiting to assist Miko in becoming king and then emperor.”

“Are you going to be okay?”

“I’ll be fine. I can handle myself.”

Luka replied.

“But you guys should be happy. With this, you’re free from Aeon’s demon training.”

“Ah, that’s true.”

They all started laughing.

Present time. Carpo Empire.

The Imperial city was covered in flames and explosions could be heard through the city.

“Down with the Moon Princess!”

People were marching around chanting this as they destroyed everything they could get their hand on.

Similar scenes were currently happening not only in this empire, but all of the Seven Moon Alliance. The people were rioting demanding for their rulers to step down.

The few guards that were around, were immediately suppressed, in some cases murdered. The people even went as far as to ripped their bodies limb from limb, stabbed them onto spikes and marched carrying the body parts in the air.

The countries had fallen into a state of hell with no one to restrain them, because most of the soldiers were on the front lines. With no one to stop them, the people became wild and morales no longer existed among them.

Politicians were dragged from their homes and murdered by the crowd. As for their families, they became the crowds playthings as there were those who wanted to defile the rich. After they had their ways with them, they were too murdered in the cruelest way they could.

Such inhumane acts, quickly became common place in the empires.

“Damn….This far worse than I expected.”

Said Robin, who was observing everything from a far.

“It seems that since we, the people they were looking to lead them, disappeared on them they’ve lost all control.”

Said Saika, who was beside him with the rest of those who participated in the mission.

“So this is what war and the despair that it breeds can do to people? It’s truly intriguing.”

Said Remi.

“This empire is done for.”

Said Ana.

“So is the other empires.”

Robin said.

“That just mean that we did our jobs.”

“Hey, do you think Miko foresaw this scene before our eyes?”

Aya asked.

“If he did and still went through with it, that just goes to show how of a monster and a genius he truly is.”

Robin replied.

“Alright, let’s go. Lulu wants to meet up.”

He said.

With their countries in turmoil the alliance leaders were in a state of panic. As it stands, they were facing total annihilation from both sides.

If they ignore the state their countries were in and continue to fight on the front lines, they won’t have any country to return to.

If they decide to turn back and try to stabilize their countries, they’ll expose their back to the enemy. And their enemy weren’t merciful in the least. That was seen from how many countries they’ve destroyed and how many millions of people they slaughtered.

Both options would lead to their destruction.

They did have the option of splitting their forces, however that would just cause them to collapse. They didn’t have enough man power to stop a rebellion and fight a war at the same time.

There was another thing that made their situation bleak. Lennox and his Tyrants had withdrawn from the war. This cut their military force in half or even more than half.

The ones who were left that could clash directly with the Dragna Clan were Skylar, Ezra, and hanzou.

Skylar was currently in the middle of talks with the Asgard Empire about what his next move should be.

“Yes, father. As it stands the chances of victory are slim. Also the Dragna Clan has yet to lose any of its central figures.”

He spoke into a communicator.

“Yes. Alright, I understand.”

He hung up and looked at Chloe and Ezra who were next to him.

“Father said that the Asgard Empire will withdraw from this war.”

He said.

“I see. I expected as much.”

Said Ezra.

“What will you do?”

Skylar asked him.

“I’ll withdraw as well. Even the blind could see that the power balance have shifted greatly in the Dragna Clan’s favor. If I stay, I’ll end up like Kirin, the only difference is that I can’t reincarnate like his people.”

Ezra answered.

“So there you have it, Chloe. We’re withdrawing. I also heard that Hanzou left earlier after getting one last hit in on Andreas Dragna.”

Skylar said.

“………”

Chloe remained silent for a while before speaking.

“What should I do?”

“I advise you to surrender and hope for the best. I’ve heard that Miko treats people who submit to him with unusual kindness. If you’re lucky, you might experience that too.”

Said Skylar.

He and Ezra turned their backs to her and began to walk away.

“Either way, if you survive this you should remember the current feelings you're experiencing. That’s what it feels like to be helpless. All you need to do is do everything you can to never experience it again. If you can do that, then you’ll grow not only as leader but as a person.”

After saying that, the two disappeared leaving Chloe alone.

Later that day, the Seven Moon Alliance had formally surrendered to the Dragna Empire. All of the leaders of the alliance were captured by the Dragna forces and seized everything they owned.

The force then went to neutralize the rebellion in the respective empires and officially took control of it. A lot of people were put on a short trial and were executed including royalty working under the Seven Emperors of the east.

After a few days, everything had calm down and the Dragna Empire had became the rulers of both the east and north; which meant they occupied half of the continent.

With half of the continent under their rule, they set their eyes on the West and south, as well as the three hells that was opened up in this world.

The intercontinental war had finally reached its last stage.

Miko vs Julio!
