Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 439 You built a church? [2/2]



It made a lot of sense when you thought about it. Wraiths might have been worth shit in Hellsgate, but on Earth? They were the equivalent to superheroes. That was what I learned about the savior bastards when I studied them.

Rather than fight the undead, they spent the night playing or sleeping. Then they would take the souls they needed from humans. They stole, blackmailed, or worked as assassins on Earth.

Because {Fates} were powerful, they could achieve results beyond what human logic could explain. Their evil lives did not help the battlefront, but instead terrorized the people on Earth.

And after I learned what {Blood Feast} was supposed to do, it made sense. Malice, the stuff that drove the reapers crazy, was the currency to summon a demon. So Robert's army was basically a malice farm.

It was an effective strategy. What if I didn't stop him in time? What if the demon that came was more powerful than Andromalius? After fighting the enormous bastard, I could understand why demons were feared.

To put it in perspective, {Recursion} was the reason we survived. Blessings were the only reason we were able to kill Andromalius. The Sacreds were effective, but not enough. It was the presence of the Saint Division that made the difference.

If they hadn't been there, we would have been slaughtered. Hellsend's Saint Division was not powerful because they were the best there was. It was because they didn't need to rest.

Without my abilities, the Saints would go weeks between battles. And because of the importance of such resources, no commander would allow them on the battlefield. However, because they were protected, it was doubtful how they could develop.

Only the combination of everyone in Hellsend allowed us to triumph. If someone like Robert existed on the other battle fronts, it would be dangerous. How close were they to completing their demons?

Africa, which had the worst conditions on Earth, scared me the most. What if demons were already hiding there? How could we stop them? What if instead of reapers they sent demons to attack North America?

The only good thing was that David was deliberately drawing attention away from me. Instead of exposing all of our power, he deliberately downplayed my abilities.

'I feel like I'm dancing in the palm of someone else's hand.'

Every Reaper killed is one less fighter when hell breaks open. Yet if you focused on keeping everyone alive like a Boy Scout, demons might start lurking among them.

I sighed deeply as I worried about the future, "Reapers have it hard."

Then I felt a wave of positive emotion overwhelm and drown out my negative thoughts. I turned to see that my harem was no longer laughing. Instead, they were looking at me with loving eyes.

"My goodness! Dearest, we ignored you for a while and you already thought yourself into depression."

"Husband, are you all right?"

"Shujin, please don't keep it to yourself. We are here."

"Possum, learn to live a little! Stop being a downer all the time!"

"Well, that's usually how responsible people are, Robyn! Darling is an overthinker! Only people like you with nothing between your ears can be clueless all the time!"

"Strewth! You looking for a beating Nut job?"

"HAHAHA! Bring it on, jailbait! I am not scared of you!"

"Robyn, Jo, please behave. You both felt it too, right? I will play with both of you later, so calm down for now. Beloved comes first."

"Fuck me dead! All right, I get it, Liv."

"Aye aye Big Momma!"

"Big Momma? I am not your mother Jo, you should call mother-in-law your momma."

"Liv, the nut job is making fun of you. Just let her do what she wants. Anyway, honey. What is going on?"

I was once again reminded of how much I adored these women. They tried to calm me down when they felt my feelings were in disarray. Jo being mischievous was meant to distract me.

"It's nothing. Thank you everyone," I replied gratefully.

It was true that I would have to deal with the Battlefront defense in two months, but I shouldn't waste the peace I had now. My life as a Reaper had not been all sunshine and rainbows. But it was not all doom and gloom either.

Through every hardship, I gained allies and experience. It might seem intimidating if I were alone. But with Hellsend and the Sirens by my side, there was no reason to believe that my situation was hopeless.

Just then, Exa suddenly called out to me.

[My lord, Phillip Scrivener is calling your GRI. He has asked you not to tell the Sirens].

"?"

Well, that was certainly interesting. It was the first time Phillip had called me outside of Hellsgate.

'Can I answer it through you, Exa?'

[Yes, my lord. I can do so, but I think the Sirens might find out from the data transfer.]

'Hmm. Not much I can do about that. Let us try to redirect them instead.'

"Everyone, I feel guilty that you didn't get a chance to eat. I also need you all to be, ehem... ready for our honeymoon. Please eat something, where do you all want to eat?"

Understanding why I wanted them to eat, the girls blushed as they discussed their options. Of course, each Siren had her own preferences, as it was impossible for a hodgepodge of strong personalities to agree unanimously.

Women were notorious for not being able to decide where they wanted to eat lunch or dinner. I hoped this would get their attention long enough for me to talk to Phillip.

'Exa, put him through.'

[Understood. My Lord, you are now connected. Mr. Scrivener, my lord cannot speak at the moment if he wishes to fulfill your request, I will express his thoughts instead].

[That's fine, thank you Ms. Exa]

'What do you want, you monocled bastard?'

[Ah yes, only my lord could be so crass as to not even say hello.]

'I am hanging up.'

[Wait! My lord, stop being an asshole. I called to fulfill your adoptive mother's will]

'Noelle's?'

[Yes, it seems she knows how lacking in self-control you are. She asked us to create a small private wedding for your family tonight.]

'Hahahaha! My mother is the best! So you have something ready? Ceremony and all?'

[Yes, a team from Hellsend and I are leading the effort. We built a small church on the outskirts of the city that Lady Noelle chose.]

'Built? What do you mean, you built a church? And where is it?''

[My Lord, you have 50 reapers who were either with Academics or Fortification, a gangster family that is extremely wealthy, and over 500 production reapers who all want to repay you.]

'Hmm. I see your point.'

[Building a church like the Wayfarers Chapel in California is something we can do in an afternoon.]

Exa then pulled up a video of a stunning chapel. It was quite small, but the chapel had glass as part of the ceiling and walls. This allowed the light and scenery to blend in with the ceremonies. Day or night, it was enchanting.

[I will send the location to Ms. Exa.]

Exa then showed the image through my eyes like a holographic display. Since I had {Calculate}, it was no longer difficult for me to split my attention between two or more things.

I tried to look at the place and remembered where it was. It was the place where my Frank Smith had literally thrown me to the wolves. I couldn't remember anything else that had happened except for Noelle's story.

Still, I wondered how I could fulfill Noelle's request, and now I could.

'Do you have any food there?'

"We do, the Deryck family has strongarmed the Exquisite Catering company to provide a luxurious feast."

Somehow, hearing the things Phillip and his group was doing blew the idea of a small, intimate ceremony out the window. But since everything was already prepared, I was pleased.

'Well done, Phillip. I will go there now.'
