"Good, it wasn't that hard."
Answered Grayfia in her usual stoic expression as I nodded.
"Then thank you for your work, and now if you excuse ."
I said as I left for my chambers.

anwhile, all around the Draconic Deus, a huge storm was brewing order in all factions and pantheons.
News about what happened at Helheim leaked even sooner than one would expect, as imdiately after Zeoticus and Hela left, Laufey and Surtr started a brutal offensive against Asgardian Royal Army, and hundreds of thousands were killed within several days.
On top of that, the King of Dark Elves, Malekith, crawled out of the shadows and assassinated countless prominent people in Odin's kingdom with his Dark Elven assassins, throwing them into chaos.
In a certain place, in the inner palace, a handso young man with long flowing red hair and uplifted dark red bangs was sitting cross-legged as he ditated. He had a third eye on his forehead that was also closed.
He wore a heavily stylized three-piece suit-type outfit consisting of a black waistcoat over an untucked collared white shirt, an orange cravat, and magenta-colored trousers tucked into light brown boots. The most distinguishing feature of the outfit is the stylized high-collared robe jacket with a length that falls to the wearer's shins: the upper part and shoulders of the robe jacket are dark-colored, the rest being a teal color and the robe jacket's trimmings are gold-colored; on each shoulder is a large gold-colored Ω-symbol, on each outer forearm are three gold-colored strips of fabric and the robe jacket ends in large white cuffs. The outfit is finished with white gloves.
"My Emperor, the information is verified."
Said a voice belonging to a man who knelt on the floor before ditating man, as he disappeared soon after relaying the ssage.
When the servant left, the red-haired man opened his eyes; his right eye had the Ω symbol in it, while his left eye had the α symbol in it.
"Another transmigrator appeared? Very talented in magic and skilled... he could be a great addition to the Orden. Should I invite him?"
Muttered the man as he took sothing out of his pocket, which looked like a card.
It was one of the 22 Major Arcana Cards, The Fool Card.
"Let rcurius decide."
He muttered as he threw the Card high in the air, and soon the Card started shining in the bright light as gray fog surrounded the Card.
"I see; why have you chosen to ask , Deus Ex Machina? Indeed this one is interesting, as there isn't any Fate tied to him. Test him; if he passes, he will be a great addition to the Orden. Our organization will grow once more."
Said a voice from the gray fog.
"Have you found sobody suitable, rcurius?"
Asked Deus Ex Machina.
"Indeed. In one of those cultivation Universes you ca from, an extrely mighty cultivator that is worthy, and I already delivered invitation. Additionally, Kaziklu Bey found soone, which is funny; the person he found is an ordinary mortal with a bit of Spirit Energy, barely able to contend against Starry Sky Warlocks or Senior Arcanists of Astral Boundary, but has enormous potential, especially her intelligence and scheming abilities are really sothing to behold. I have given her a bit boon... she is still a child, though but has an imnse affinity for a certain thing. Her master would rape her, so I changed the fate of the world a bit to gain another strong cultivator for our side. Though, due to that, I need to send soone there later on. That Universe is a barren one; it would do a good place for gathering strength in the grand sche of all things."
Answered rcurius.
"Also, Christof Lohengrin chose to invite a person."
Said rcurius after a short ti of thought.
"Who?"
Asked Deus Ex Machina with a surprised voice.
"Soone who bears the title of Almighty and has potent precognition abilities."
Answered the rcurius.
"Your agenda is sure interesting, rcurius."
Said Deus Ex Machina.
"Things are moving, and only several Eras are remaining. Top experts, factions, and Empires and Dynasties are expanding like crazy, and ancient experts are slowly awakening from their sleep while creating alliances and hidden organizations like we do."
Answered rcurius, while Deus Ex Machina nodded in agreent.
"Also, where is Rot Spinne? I haven't heard about him, even before using Samsara Rebirth Technique several Eras Ago?"
One Era was approximately 10,081 years.
"Don't know... he disappeared once more, probably went to another Universe. He is a traveler, and our ssenger may find so great addition to the Orden. When it starts, it will be good to reduce the number of Universes by a great amount."
Answered rcurius.
"Do you think your Astral Boundary is ready?"
Asked Deus Ex Machina.
"No. While it isn't weak either, it isn't that strong, but for that reason, Orden was created, at least partially, to gather similar-minded people. Additionally, this is what it makes even more interesting, Deus Ex Machina."
Said rcurius as he laughed.
"Only you can take extermination of an entire Universe as a ga, rcurius. If you are unlucky and got invaded first by a strong universe, you would be in trouble. Especially those where cultivation is practiced, like mine, they are very strong for the current Astral Boundary. Many of them have even Thrones."
Explained Deus Ex Machina.
"I am aware of it; for that, we need to take the initiative and use Universe Stairs to invade and assimilate Universes with lesser Energy Density to beco nutrients for the Astral Boundary Universe. From what I have seen, most factions are already preparing for the greatest war of all ti."
Said rcurius.
"Also, when will you return to your true body Deus Ex Machina?"
Asked rcurius after a short ti.
"Soon, soon, the cultivation of Samsara Rebirth Technique will be complete."
Answered Deus Ex Machina.
"Oh, and take this. Could you give it to the new recruit as a test? The Card will do the rest."
Said rcurius as another Major Arcana Card appeared out of the grey fog.
The Devil Arcana.

Note from July 2022: Not dropped and not fucked up; how many of you short-signed people were predicting... just because you have trauma from reading sothing similar, it doesn't an you need to drop it for a basically no reason... I partially understand that many fears that I will drop the story soon after (sotis it happens to authors who mix up too many things without further thinking), but currently, the story is already passed the half, 370 chapters are written and the general outline of the storyline is completed long ago with the ending included.
