Knock! Knock!

Aileen lightly rapped the door twice. Someone inside called for her to enter. She then pushed open the door and caught sight of a familiar face that had already been like a blood relative to her and the others as well as a very close and intimate family.

With a faint smile, Mia raises her head, a trace of humour and warmth appearing in her clear eyes. “Did it go well…?”

“Everything went well,” Aileen answered with a faint smile. “The negotiation was a complete success. Though, with the organization’s current power, I doubt anyone would refuse the collaboration.” She smiled bitterly.

As of now, although without Allen, [ Vivite Liberi ] had become the top leading organization in the entire world. However, due to them stopping their recruitments, the exact number of members of the group was approximately only 50 members, currently scattered in all over the world.

And now that there was a very important mission they were facing as of this moment, this number proves to become insufficient.

Although unlike the previous timeline, the world has no Demon Kingdom as well as Demon Invasion, various rumors and reports saw their sightings and casualties had already been reported.

And this wasn’t normal Demons either. The captured Demon was a bit different from the one's Mia and the other returnees remembered and the power they exhibited was extremely astonishing that Lv5 below Superhumans were easily killed and defeated.

Even Lv6 and 7 Superhumans had very low chances of success in defeating just one of these Demons.

Certainly, they were not the Demons that had appeared in this world. This was then proven by Salamandra who had reported that these Demons were none other than, Celestial Demons.

- They should be the ones who had come along with Azazel and Lilith’s visit.

Of course, with the World’s current powers, they were not a problem at all. However, what gives Mia and the others headaches was the unexpected appearance of the Undying King, ruler of Undeads.

For some reason, its appearance was pushed early compared to the previous timeline and was now wreaking havoc everywhere. Together with the problem caused by these troublesome Demons, the situation became even more troublesome.

However, although each member of [ Vivite Liberi ] are powerful heroes that can easily enter the World’s top hundred in power rankings, their numbers were just insufficient. Most members went into different missions across the globe and the ones who can deal with the invasion of the Undying King wasn’t enough.

Thus, Mia and the others were forced to create collaborations with the other organizations as well as guilds.

“Ah right, aside from Alkrasha and Eliade’s Kingdom, the ‘Abbar Dastan’ had already contacted me. They're sending a huge force to help,” Mia smiled bitterly.

‘Abbar Dastan’ –one of the largest Kingdoms in the entire world.

Swallowing entire Iran and its neighboring country within just a short three months, like a thunderbolt in blue sky, its name had spread throughout the entire world in an instant.

Even large governments and organizations started staring at this kingdom with full attention. There were even rumors that several large groups tried to test waters with this kingdom and sent some secret small groups but in just short of few days, these groups were instantly annihilated… with no traces left behind.

Though they only attack those that had tried touching them, they never bothered touching the mastermind behind these annihilated groups. Due to this, although they were being stared like a prey by other groups, no one dared to send any more people to attack the said Kingdom.

It was an independent Kingdom that allows all races; humans, beastmen, demi –humans, and other races and tribes, to live within the kingdom.

Although among the citizens, there were still some who hold something against other races but they never dared saying that out loud or causing problems. Because if they did, they will be thrown away and be banned from entering the Kingdom ever again.

Some even say that the moment someone did a crime such as murder, they will disappear in the surface of the world. Whether they die or not, no one knows, no one dares to know!

Most importantly, all the power and authority within the kingdom was owned by one single person.

Although they know that there was a King but, aside from the extremely most important person of the Palace, no one knows his real identity.

It was a very mysterious kingdom.

Even a few palace human servants never dared to say or utter the name of the King.

Once someone dared to ask this, of course secretly, trying to unravel the truth like a paparazzi, ( probably sent by some organizations ) and due to some coercion, one servant agreed.

However, the next day, both of them disappeared as if they never existed.

Of course, although no one knows the real King, every people know who was managing the entire Kingdom on the surface.

The Twin Princess of Dawn… or so they called.

Princess Shahrnaz, the Princess of Lightning and Wrath. She can call lightning storms and although she was usually gentle and amiable and every citizen loves and respected her. But whenever someone challenges the name of the mysterious King, she was the first one who will make a move.

And it wasn’t a simple move.

Destroying a kingdom as mercilessly as a demon, her usual gentle character would become that of a demon whose beautiful face will be distorted with intense wrath…becoming akin to an Asura.

Among the twin princesses, everyone knows that Princess Shahrnaz loves and adore the mysterious King, even to the point of worshipping him as a God. Those who dared to slander and used his name will be dealt with, with utmost craze and madness.

The other princess was; Princess Arnavaz, the Princess of War and Destruction.

She was commonly known for her cheerful and aggressive nature. Her loves in war and fighting were only second to that for the mysterious King.

Unlike her twin sister, the infamous benevolent Devi, Princess Arnavaz was commonly known as the Tyrant Dev. A personification of a Dev in Persian Mythology.

It was a demon of enormous power as well as a ruthless and immoral god of war.

When a war occurs, unlike Princess Shahrnaz who never likes attending boorish things like war and rather stay close and always protect her beloved, the mysterious king, Princess Arnavaz will always be the one to first stand in the frontline.

Her tyranny, absolute power that comes with her supernatural strength and agility, and craze mind, would always bring terror to any enemies.

Thus, these twin princesses were the most well-known personage and the front rulers of the kingdom; ‘Abbar Dastan’.

Under them, were the great warriors of the Kingdom. The seven divine generals who was carefully picked and chosen by the twin princess and the mysterious King; [ Amesha Spentas ]

These great warriors don’t necessarily humans. In fact, only two of them were humans while the other was from other races that had given their endless loyalty to the mysterious King.

Literally not to the Kingdom but to the mysterious King.

In fact, there was once a rumor floating among the [ Amesha Spentas ] that had secretly been spread around the Kingdom, saying that some first candidates of the [ Amesha Spentas ] that was chosen, had vowed that their loyalties will be on either the Kingdom or the Twin Princess. But the moment they said this, they were immediately thrown out of the Palace with their statuses revoked by the Princess themselves!

This clearly shows how loyal the kingdom was to the mysterious King. As for how did, the King managed to acquire such loyalty, no one knows.

Though, the public believes that it’s not like all the people including the [ Amesha Spentas ] were extremely loyal to the kingdom or to the King, it’s just that, the twin Princesses was the real hounds who hunt those who wouldn’t give their loyalty to the King.

If you want to stay in the Kingdom, then you better respect the King or else no matter who you are, the hounds will get you and you will not see the dawn of the next day!

This was what the world knows about the mysterious Kingdom that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and even became one of the strongest groups or Kingdom in the entire world.

However, there were some people that had known the truth of the infamous ‘Abbar Dastan’ King. And it was the Bianchi‘s main family as well as all of Allen’s intimate people.

At first, they had a hard time believing it. Mia even sent some people to closely investigate the Kingdom. After all, it was a new kingdom that was not known even in the previous timeline.

They had suspected that it must be one of the returnees but the truth was someone unexpected!

One night, an unfamiliar person, no, a clone had visited them.

It was none other than, Allen’s clone!

Who had expected, that the real king of the Kingdom was none other than… Allen!?

Although the one who had created the kingdom and even makes it reach its current height was none other than just a mere clone and probably the real person didn’t know of it at all, it was still a very hard to believe the truth.

If not for Mia and the others knowing what Allen’s clones were, they would certainly have worry feeling within them.

Allen, the person they know and loved, had always been passive in terms of creating a kingdom, empire or whatsoever.

Even [ Vivite Liberi ] he had made, he created with much passion but after quite a long time, he had somewhat lost interest and had lost the initial blaze towards it.

The fact that he had given Mia the full authority on it was the best proof. Although he was still providing the resources used for the organization even until now, it was not because he still had some interest but in fact, it was because of Mia and the others.

He was always the type to have a fire at first but will lose that blaze later on. His interest in something, of course apart from women, would slowly disappear. It would never last long, his interest in things that is.

Just like before, no matter how much she and the others persuaded Allen to make an empire, he had never budged. He was stubborn as a hundred ox.

However, his clone was completely different.

He had created a huge and powerful kingdom in short few months. Of course, it doesn’t mean that he was really the one exerting effort on it. It was probably the twin princess, Sara even vouched for that guess.

Even still, when they had met for the first time, not only Mia, even the others had noticed something odd. Allen’s clone was 30% or probably more aggressive than Allen and his character is 20% to 30% stronger than him.

His actions, words, behavior, and personality were on the aggressive side that it was hard to believe he was Allen’s clone. Though, one thing was fortunate was that, similar to other clones, he doesn’t have any sexual desires or lust. He probably doesn’t have any sexual organ just like the others or else, Mia and the others would certainly be unable to sleep at night due to worrying the sudden expansion of the harem without them knowing.

If Allen’s character can be considered mild, the king of ‘Abbar Dastan’ was hot. If not for the other clones confirming that he was also a clone like them, and confirming that the clones indeed have some difference from each other when not possessed by the main consciousness, they had probably thought someone was pretending to be Allen.

According to the clones they have, the king of ‘Abbar Dastan’ Allen’s clone had inherited Allen’s hidden aggressiveness and a bit of Allen’s antagonistic nature.

He could be said to be an anti –hero type character, Allen version. Obviously, due to this, there were even clones who had felt a bit discomfort talking with the Dastan King.

However, although Mia and the others were a bit uncomfortable dealing with him, still, they know that even without the other clones confirmation, he was none other than Allen’s clone.

Although he was aggressive and black-bellied but in terms of dealing with Mia and the others, he was like an affectionate lamb at the same time a protective lioness.
