Damien explained everything he went through in the previous tiline, and also how his descent might have caused a chaotic effect to take place.
Juliette chid in and explained the details about the chaotic effect more clearly, clearing the problem of Damien being a fraud impersonating their child.
They also went through how Damien ca back in ti, and why he claid that this world was far from what it looked like. As well as how he was also unaware of how things will proceed in this tiline.
The conversation took around two hours to completely go through. From there, David brought out the question of how they would tackle this new problem.
"So, what now?" David laid down the question of the day. Damien ca up with a few solutions, "There's a lot we can do, and a lot we cannot do at the mont."
"Firstly, we have Hidden Classes at minimum, and powerful Unique Abilities along with godly artifacts. The base of which requires terrifying reserves of Mana to use altogether. We need to increase our reserves."
"We also need to take charge and bring order within the cities, as the Age of Superhumans enters its cradle. We will need a person who can take charge of the city, and represent us when the battle to the throne of humanity transpires."
"And either than this, we can go out and hunt out beasts and the likes to power level ourselves. These are the things we can do at the mont, until sothing occurs. Nobody knows of The Primordial Source's next action."
Damien concluded with a frown, and the others also frowned at his words. The choice itself was hard to make.
They could choose the first to strengthen themselves, and make themselves nigh godly. Or they could choose the second option to focus on humanity as a whole, which will later die in the coming years.
Or the last option, where they will have to grow stronger physically. In other words, they focus on their foundation, their stats instead of Abilities that instantly gives a person great power as long as they grasp them.
"I believe the first option is better." Juliette raised up her hand to say her part, she then reasoned. "Since Abilities give us supernatural powers, while strength and humanity only give us, just vanity and unity."
"At the end of the day, we would still need to have power to flaunt that strength, and power to protect the unity we would have made. So I believe Mana is the best choice." She concluded.
She had her own selfish reasons, of course, but her current reasons were also not too shaby. They at least made sense to the listeners who were listening.
Esther also added her own thoughts, "I think we should focus on humanity and unity. For with what is to co for us, a single person alone cannot make it out. Let alone now, when even you believe everything is going haywire."
The others exchanged glances as she also made sense. Esther then added, "In the long run, nothing super massive is bound to happen anyti soon. This is just the beginning, and if The Primordial Source were to allow that, would it not go against its aim?"
She inquired. And they nodded in understanding. As for The Primordial Source's aim, in the future, the powerhouses ca up with guesses, and the number one theory was that it needed to evolve.
And to do such a thing, it of course required everyone within this world, and the world itself. In essence, it cannot change the situation to the point where even the starting point is quite hellish.
Or so Esther reasoned. Damien nodded and did not tell her that, the theory he had, pertained to the future Primordial Source, not the current one.
"Well I for once think our strength matters more. Like, from your words, they are Abilities capable of dealing with other Abilities, or Zones that do not allow another to use their Abilities."
"With those, it leaves us bare with our own strength. Hence I believe we should level up, and do the sa for humanity while we are at it." David said his part.
All of them had different ideas, and said them all out, yet did not debunk the ideas of the other. All that was left was Damien's opinion, as what he will choose, will break the stalent between all their choices.
"I hear you all." Damien said, and sighed, "But you're all thinking from one point perspective, guys." He added.
"We are?" Esther inquired, and David scoffed, "How so?" anwhile, Juliette had a frown on her face as she imdiately got his words, "You an... instead of choosing one option to follow–"
"–we can just choose all of them. Spot on." Damien said, nodding at Juliette appreciatingly, with a hint of pride in his eyes. Juliette subconsciously smiled at his expression.
"And how the hell would you want to do that?" David asked, a bit intrigued. Esther also seed interested, as well as Juliette.
"There are four of us and will be more, and we can split into three groups and do just that." Damien said, then elaborated, "There's a kid I know who is good at managing a city."
"He is a natural born king, with the destiny of an emperor. Mom, I want you to take the Gray House to go and use whatever ans necessary, either than threats, to get him on our side, then help him fight for the position of city lord against his siblings."
"In the anwhile, you can tell those in the Gray house to also accept The Primordial Source." Before Damien could continue, Esther added, "I already did. They are also done, and they all have Hidden Classes."
"That's good. I had forgotten about them for a mont." Damien said. "Anyway, while you do that, you and the old man should go and clean out the wild beasts out in the wild."
"If left be, with The Primordial Source, they might evolve into terrifying threats. Especially the wolf tribe, we need to cut off their source before that terrifying wolf is born." Damien concluded, knowing well what questions would follow.
"Wouldn't that only allow us to grow stronger and not you two?" Esther curiously inquired.
Damien responded, "We can form a bloodline contract. Everything will be shared equally amongst us, through the shared bloodline we have together. Then and Juliette will sign a different contract all together."
"I see." She nodded at his words in understanding. anwhile, David had his own questions to ask, "So you two will do what, in the anti?"
"Search for Mana Sources. I already know a few. Don't worry, we will bring enough for you two as well. If possible, for humanity as well." Damien listlessly replied.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The other three exchanged glances, and once they all agreed, Damien went into a full detailed plan of how they were going to tackled this coming age of Superhumans.
The plan was put in action imdiately. They had nothing better to do anyway, and ti was definitely ticking.
After that, Damien took out a blank brownish board, and bit his thumb until it bled. He then used his blood to write a few runic words on the tablet that made no sense.
"Mom, old man, use your blood to trace along the runes. Once you're done, it will resonate with my blood and soul, and burn to cinders. If you're both my parents, you will be safe."
"If not, it's over for yall. So old man, think carefully before you press your finger there. Lest you die." Damien further empathized and stepped back.
"You guys..." Esther bitterly smiled at their antiques and did as instructed. A mont later, David scoffed and also did the sa. He did not doubt one bit that Damien was his child.
Once he was done, the runes burned to golden flas and took with them the wooden board he had used. Monts later, the three of them felt a connection bond through their souls.
They could feel each other closer. And they could tell the other person's overall condition just from this bond they now held, even without expressing words to one another.
"This is... mystical." Esther comnted. David also nodded in agreent. Damien smirked at their response and said, "I am Damien, after all."
"You're just from the future brat." His father scoffed at him. Damien ignored him and moved to Juliette. He stared at her for a short while then moved onto another wooden board.
He wrote yet another runic encryption using his own blood. He only wrote half of the board, and told her to use to the other half to write the sa runes on it as well.
"..."
Juliette first practiced on a different board and waited until she could almost completely do it well. She then used her blood to finish the other half of the board Damien gave her, making it seem almost completely alike.
After ten minutes, she was done. And once she was done, the board also lit up into pinkish flas, and took the board with it as well, sealing the deal.
"Done." Damien said and prepared to leave. Juliette did not let him go though, and hurriedly asked, "What contract did we sign?"
