1089, i happened to roam to Barren land, i collect so many artifact that i stole from the future and now is on my possession.
I happened meet Babel landship, i happened to pass by. i reach the door and see many Sarkaz mercenary in here.
"Who are you !" Sarkaz guard hold me.
"I am just traveling doctor, my name is Valtor Ismael" The Sarkaz guard look each other and let me in as suddenly Theresa meet me in person.
"Welcome to Babel, please make yourself at home" her originium power suddenly try to hypnotize my empathy as i see the smile, that goddamn smile.
"Yes" as i become humble doctor, i was gentle doctor and warm to each interaction, not only that i also proficient in many medical thing such disease and other which led many sarkaz who Battle maniac never have great doctor who can make them have "okay, round two bitch" moment.
but despite my gentle and good approach not everyone have slightest idea how to command army especially this type of war as suddenly as Majority of Sarkaz mercenary collectively agree to make me a commanding position.
"My friend, Babel, All mercenary who fight for her highness, i truly honored to be your commander in charge upon this civil war, i will swore oath to you, i will not rest, nor sleep or betray you whatever temptation might offer me until the civil war is over, i will swore upon my name if one of my squadron or person died during the mission on my very leadership upon this war, i will carve your name on my knife and wound myself to remind me off your sacrifice for her highness cause, i will bring you victory no matter how low its odd and how impossible the fight is. upon my name As Valtor, the Last Survivor of Progenitor Human" I take off my hoodie show my true face and appearance, in full force of divinity and capability was in full display, my existence was like "out of this world" in many aspect of it.
i take a deep breath and close my eye, smell of war, its intoxicating and want me to win it. i will determined upon each victory will gave me wealth, upon victory and the battle will harness my skill of utilization of mercenary.
Hannibal tactic of war.
I must suffer as they suffer of sacrificing their life, whenever they return i were the one the first treat them not other way around, i swore to not rest nor sleep and even have chance to betray despite many offer may soon tempt me.
Tactics of war utilizing Sarkaz Superior Originium Art that adept to their role, Range or Melee, this utilization is most crucial pivotal role of put the formation, who is proficient in ambush and skirmish, and put some work who more silent and agile Sarkaz at scout and intelligence gathering and the tactics of Guerilla and surrounding decimation, Sarkaz has habit one v one rather they have no proficient in 1 v 10 especially not court which consider not the thing.
utilizing environment, war field, control how we fight, create many advantages before the enemy have no knowledge they were in losing side, fight with our own term and our beneficial, dick move but sarkaz not care about honor, we want glory.
and for Main squadron or the squad who can 1 v 10-100 is needed to be conceal as they is good in for make morale down to enemy.
as i input that method to work, Holy shit it was fun ride.
we won every single battle, from massive battle that 1 : 10 our size, skirmish and other in absolute victory with no casualty at all for almost 3 year from now, even i treated as better general than Theresis himself which Theresis feel insulted by it.
i make my team is same as Invincible army which have no flaw or have chance to get ambush as we 4 step ahead about anything but the price was.
"Look at these gold" yes, we are rich, the treasury from our battle, the supply such food and other weapon supply that other squad found from anonymous supplier from unknown faction.
"Huh.... weird, i never have acquaintance that giving us with supply" the truth was, my buff giving me thing and the fact come from anonymous was great to create mystery, this was good funding for Theresa cause and we employed many mercenary that doesn't not come from Kazdel even many of them come far away land such Higashi even Bolivar to Sargon even Ursus.
but me still well respected as General rather A Doctor, despite the war or battle happened always 3 day, i indeed truth to my vow, i never take single sleep or even rest, sometime tending the injured mercenary with gentle approach become their solace whenever they have physiological or mental problem with patience, understanding and sometime i joke around to ease the mood of other who have trauma or something they not well opened.
Sometime i took myself a care taker of Amiya and some Sarkaz kid orphaned in here, i was like their Father figure to them, giving them nicest childhood they ever ask for despite many battle hardened adult seeing me laughing and having fun with the kids was something sight to behold.
but the major plot twist was, due my "Out of this world" charm, sometime i have hard time to interact with Woman due they constantly avoiding me, which i take it as common.
but the boys or the man little bit openly admitted, that the woman mercenary have crush on me, even Her majesty boldly admit without my knowing, if She want marry a man, i was perfect candidate for her which sometime make other woman little bit have big competition but i never take that seriously.
but the major problem such Increasing Oripathy of my mercenary was not a problem especially i know how to utilize them without having them increased potential to severe those disease.
but as unexpected ploy when i do battle plan, i get shanked by Sarkaz Spy send by Theresis, everyone was not expected the spy as he get pin down by other.
For me, i just feel nothing of it.
"Valtor !" everyone panic and try to help me but i hold them as the knife already pierce my heart.
"Don't... my heart is pierced"
"YOU DIE !" i smile strip my clothes to show "Out of the world" body physique, it was "Out of world" quality and something that too perfect to said even the stab wound giving me mortal wound.
"Let him go"
"But general"
"No, let him go" Sarkaz goliath let him go, i took the stabber hand and let him grip the knife.
"Stab me, make it my blood splat all over your body, release all the rage, all the disappointment and all the vengeance upon your failure to gain favor of Regent" he roar and stab me over and over and over.
"ENOUGH THAT IS ENOUGH !" Theresa use her originium art to calm the person down, alas she party pooper.
"Why you step in"
"enough, no more"
"Let him be, let him relieve all his desire to stab me in the heart, feel the joy as he the one who succeed stabbing over and over. is okay, i don't mind because, i want you go back to Kazdel" i take the knife and cut down my own heart, literally cutting all my heart vein than hand it to him, but i stab my heart while still beating while my body gushing out so many blood that beyond normal.
"Look at me!" he looks at me, seeing my chest hole completely exposed, even my internal organs were bleeding.
"Bring that heart to Theresis and tell him this. I, Valtor Ismael, swore that the very heart I give to you still beating, Your military attempt will never win, not even a miracle itself can save you from humiliating defeat after defeat, not even a single victory or recovery from it, no matter how many courts and how many bands of Sarkaz outside Kazdel are on his side. Not even Netzach'rael the Nachzehrer King, Duq'arael Sanguinarch of Vampires, Fremont the Lich King, Ramale Banshees' Elegiac, even if all Royal Courts and all Tribe Chiefs of Sarkaz unite together to fight the common enemy of Sibling ideology. Then come, come here, and prepare yourself because I will be the one who gives you proof, who is truly the General here, him or me. After you say that, I want you to say this with determination and threat: You can hide behind every skirt of the Royal Court, Theresis, but when all of them defect from you, the only place you can hide is behind the skirt of Theresa." I throw that sarcasm with a death glare and burning spirit, that savagery was a challenge and he runs with my heart still beating, I carve it into his brain when I fully commit to atrocity, keeping up with me.
"Aiyaa, now I've lost a heart, not bad at all. Ow, my other organs failed. Well, no eating today." My ear gets pinched by Theresa and Kal'tsit, was something else but that insult and remark become something.
Madman of Babel, let the enemy stab his heart, hand his heart to the enemy, challenge the entire Kazdel royal court, and insult the very Regent that hides behind the skirt, that savagery became amusing for others and somehow lifted their spirits.
The fact that I lost a heart, my other organs failed, and the worst part was someone wanted to donate it to me but I completely declined.
Yet, I still felt as fresh as a daisy despite not having a heart and functional organs, which is absurd, and I kept quiet about it and let it become common Monday.
It just took him four days to gather a massive 400,000 Sarkaz army with the Royal Court that I mentioned, he was genuinely insulted by my savagery. So, we answered it back with our own force, only 4,000 strong, which was a ratio of 1:100. It was a dead end, it hadn't even been a year since I joined, not even 1090 times, which somehow was something.
The Royal Court from Theresis' side and me, Kal, the Royal Court from our side with Theresa face to face with each other.
"We don't have to do this, Brother."
"We should, we must, we have."
"How about peace negotiations?"
"Peace? You think peace will solve our humiliation over centuries?"
"What makes you be like that, Brother?"
"Because you're not fighting on the frontline, you never bleed for your people, you never suffer with them, even your 'General' is willing to give his heart to me to prove you are a weak sister, too naive, and for you. I WILL NOT HIDE BEHIND THE SKIRT OF HER." Someone is getting angry, I wonder how much he will be humiliated.
"You should, because she will comfort you when you're under six feet on my leg." Theresis snaps and draws his sword to my neck.
"That's it, you will die under my blade." I lift the sword, stab it right into my head, pierce it, and reach the handle.
"...I'm still alive, are you sure?" Theresis swings his sword to cut my body in half, but I am fine despite his sword being stuck in my belly.
"I told you, though." I break the sword just by twisting my body, my body heals in a fast manner despite my clothes being cut in half, I love this jacket.
We return to the side where everyone was actually scared, 400,000 Sarkaz even with the Royal Court present, this will be a massacre.
"Valtor...are you sure we're gonna win this open field war?" I shrug my shoulders and smile at them.
"I don't know, it's been nice to work with all of you, we're gonna die, I am gonna die, all of us are gonna die..." as the other side starts charging, that is the moment I use my secret ace.
God Mode, Satan Form.
Suddenly, the world screams, pillars of demonic energy rise up to the sky creating a crimson color, the Sun becomes black and bleeds while the moon becomes red as a blood, I appear on the mist of swirl of fiery wind using Sephiroth Dark Harbinger with Dante Sin Devil Trigger horns and hands, also finishing with a Scarlet King crown.
The pressure of my transformation creates a sheer aura of bloodlust strong enough to create an image of the devil who roars at every Sarkaz of my enemy. The devil behind me was Tahthamet's face, hand, and half of its body towering to the sky, roaring and threatening all Sarkaz, even sundering the world into complete Demonic influence.
I raise my hand, Tahthamet gives the Crafted Crimson Greatsword to me. As soon as I grab the sword and do a simple swing, that moment the Crimson Light travels to them, the very light that kills the enemy in single blast.
From 400,000 Sarkaz turned into 400 Sarkaz left, while all of them perish into a pool of blood. It was brutal, and Tahthamet laughs menacingly seeing the blood spilled by just the sheer power of it. The single attack capable of wiping out 99.9% of the Sarkaz army completely wiped out.
I return back the sword as Tahthamet was return to be my third eye, it was great as the third eye can see negative aspect from being, i can use this for my benefit.
"Hmm..... i overdid" I wave my hand counter clockwise, suddenly all Sarkaz who dead by my attack resurrected back to life, as nothing happened to them as they gonna suffer more with me in this chaos world.
i flick my finger, the shock of my finger throw them to Kazdel like a turd in the wind.
as i return back to human with empty heart chest with open wound and failure organ, the world return to order, the power of Satan combination of Scarlet King, Harbinger Sephiroth and Sin Demon power was amplification with Sin power and negativity is power absolute that make Spirit of KAzdel was outshined by my Spirit of Wrath.
we heard a rumbling noise of truck and horn, it pass by our position drop 2 big cargo and leave without question as the sign of it was Babel.
the Cargo opened, Supply of technology, item, Money and some are precious jewelry and much better Originite and Originium shard which already filtered and other.
the fact the other cargo was food, item for daily live and other, seems the buff indeed great in long run as i take nothing upon it because i have everything since my Raiding before. and the fact my Apostate of 3 sin amplify the wealth i obtained, another benefit become bad guy, i don't need to struggle to become richer.
so i return to Landship to have another research upon my Satan Mode, which become something i don't necessarily hate.
[Originium Art :
God Body
God Mind
God Armament
God Form
God Art
Negative Sense]
Negative sense grant me the ability to sense negative thing in body, mind and soul which everyone had in body which is Oripathy, Mind is their "Evil Thought" and Soul which is evil desire.
but i wonder Other Mode can gave me another Originium Art ? research for later but perhaps with this Negative Sense give me benefit on my medical and interaction.
after that War, we cease fire for almost 4 Month until another skirmish happened again but we still the winner winner chicken dinner.
Theresis only cursed me by stabbing the heart i send to him repeatedly over and over as never ending lose make him do little bit negotiation of it.
Until the moment where we peace talk which lead to something unexpected, he return the heart and sit down with us along with other royal court in table negotiation in Rhodes Island.
"Become our Sarkaz King Doctor" i mean what the fuck, i completely derailed my original plan here, let timeline goes by the linear yet due my action, now become branched.
"with your tactical supremacy, no person in this land can fight you head on even you alone is enough battling entire region perhaps by following me to conquering other land will benefit you more, stop this civil war as people of Kazdel demand it" tempting offer but my plan still firm, i need to betray but my vow.... fuck me, this dilemma is big.
"give me a moment" i stand up, walking in circle for a moment, creating something i shouldn't do it but alright because Sarkaz initially have different situation and ideology, which one have more benefit.
Theresa peace keeping or Theresis Machiavellian.
Becoming Main character have morally questioned action that will lead history is hard truly but what is need to be, should i let her die or let her life....
I sit down and put my hand on the table. this is last determination i will strive for.
"I decline your offer. If the public of Kazdel does not support Theresa's ideology aimed at weakening the deep-rooted tradition of violence worship in Sarkaz society, then so be it. Even if she dies as a martyr, firmly believing in her ideology, if it doesn't fit Sarkaz society, it may fit elsewhere. Personally, I strive for what she dreams of: achieving peace. However, she made a mistake. To achieve peace, you must prepare for war. But Sarkaz lack a common enemy. As I proved when they all banded together to fight me, they failed miserably. Challenging the unknown, they suffered a humiliating defeat. Yet, after proving Sarkaz need to unite against a common enemy, I resurrected all fallen brethren and sisters who died in your last attempt to prove the believe. Sarkaz have a tendency for violence, and they excel at it. I genuinely respect Sarkaz people for this. I experienced something amazing when you sent the little stabber after me. In a vengeful frenzy, he stabbed me relentlessly, unaware he could die at any moment. I ordered no interference until your benevolent sister stopped the vengeful Sarkaz. She was completely oblivious, which was her cute side. This indomitable spirit of Sarkaz to seek vengeance for humiliation over millennia cannot be tamed. Theresa failed to understand this. While I tried to control the spirit by giving a common goal to fight for, it only fueled their desire to fight me. Here we are, facing humiliating defeat. You attempt to divert their spirit to other subjects while Theresa trying to extinguish it by Embracing yourself to it. Which is quicker to die ? Theresa, your death will only fuel the everlasting flame of Sarkaz's indomitable spirit of vengeance, capable of burning the world. But it will derail her dream further from where she originally stood." i stand up and look at them with burning spirit which my red eye glow in fiery red.
"no thank you! I may be crazy enough to follow a dead weight suicidal king into the purgatory of fiery vengeance, but to become the leader of a people who have lost their rationality and become bloodthirsty about practically anything? I'm out. Nope, not even any temptation you offer me will make me or force me to be your king. I'm not Khagan, I'm not The Farchaser, the first Lord of Fiends, I'm not a Feranmut or even Immortal, despite having qualities resembling them."
"How about marrying my sister ?" What the fuck Theresis ! you sold your sister to me ?
"What are you saying !" Theresa also shocked hearing that, while other also to surprised hearing that.
"That is the only way to secure the King of Fiend" i close my face then take the heart and crush it into pool of blood.
"Not a chance....." i choose pussy way to escape responsibility, suicide. i mean i don't want continue her bloodline, not a single chance.
as my body drop down in pool of my blood, i completely gone, as critically injured but my action lead swirling tension of other, especially lost their commander to suicide to escape marriage solution and the lost of me make Babel dissolve for whatever reason but my body completely carried to Sarcophagus for extensive life support due my organ failure.
"Idiot !" that is the last thing i heard before i sleep, finally a rest.
sometime being lazy has its own benefit, i will set myself to dormant and sustain myself to evolve and breach the infinity.
