Chapter 133: Assasination
Time: [Unknown]
Location: City of Hope
POV: [Unknown]
I was lurking in the shadows of the massive Cathedral as a priest walks in hurriedly, ''Quick! We need to go to the City of Light! The new Pope has been found! We cannot lack behind and fall out of favour with the Pope!'' The priest said frantically to his followers as he gathered high-quality Magic crystals and artefacts.
I jumped down on the red carpet, both daggers firm in my hands, ''Hello Mr Priest, can I maybe help you?'' I asked sarcastically.
''GUARDS!'' The priest shouted as he ran towards the exit, ''You will not escape today my friend...'' I whispered as I reappeared right behind him. ''Die.'' I stabbed my daggers into his body, but no matter how hard I stabbed he just didn't die, holy light descended from above as it wrapped the priest in a protective layer. One hundred heavily armoured paladins come rushing in, these, however, have the air of professionals around them.
I looked around seeing the encirclement, ''Shadow of Death...'' I whispered softly, loud chatter broke out as a large black hand formed behind me grabbing towards the priest, completely ignoring the paladins, ''LIGHT OF THE POPE!'' Sounded as the priest pulled out his artefact, the hand was stopped and disintegrated as the light touched it. The paladins at the same time launched attacks against their opponent, ''God between heavens and hell...'' I whispered again, immediately I turned Ethereal their attacks landed on the ground as I flitted between them, soon I disappeared into a wall.
''I must wait...'' I said to myself softly as I retreated fully into the shadows.

POV: Kyle's
I waited until the 2 who were talking left the Inn, after which I followed them, pulling out my crossbow hiding it beneath my cloak, I aimed at the man who listened and fired at his head, the bolt penetrated him thoroughly falling to the ground, they both had only a cultivation of Earthly Core, stage 5, which although was high in the commoner's eyes, it was nothing to most cultivators.
The other man was quick to react and launched a knife towards me. I didn't even bother with it, the armour was already activated, not even making a dent in it.
The man stared in horror at me as I looked like a demon from hell, ''Please! Please spare me!'' I grabbed the man by the throat, ''Tell me everything you know about the new pope...'' I growled while throwing him against the wall.
''A few days ago a blinding white light appeared above the holy land, after which a body appeared out of it, almost being completely destroyed the stand-in Pope immediately ordered him to be taken care of by the Cardinals, today should be the awakening of the pope, but... he is human! Who can let those disgusting creature...s...'' Before he could finish his sentence I already detached his head from his body. 'I don't need you to insult my race...' I looked at his corpse before advancing through the city. I deactivated my armour as I entered the main street.
'I might be here for a while, I need money to survive...' I analysed, I walked past a few shops trying to find some mercenary work. Finally, in the centre of the town, there was a notice board, on it was what seems like news, contracts, bounties, orders from the mayor and some general notes. I quickly scanned over it, but found out I couldn't read most of it! I just grabbed a passerby and ask what the highest paying job was on that board. But I just had to grab a woman, who by the looks of it, is very powerful, clad in full plated armour and wearing a massive two-handed sword she looked down upon me. Seeing no Qi fluctuations she was immediately outraged, ''WHO DARES TO THIS NOBLE WOMAN!'' She shouted while grabbing her sword. ''Shut up!'' I roared, very annoyed by her.
She was stupified, having never been spoken against like that, but then something snapped in her brain as she swung her two-handed sword down in one fell swoop, 'Automatic defence system activated, positioning the body to best receive the impact, reinforcing the palm area, re-routing energy towards the arms and back!' My processor sounded.
''BAM!'' The sword making contact with my armour and cybernetic arm produced an ear-destroying sound, the floor cracked under my feet while the many servos in the elbow and wrist were going into overdrive to keep up with the pressure, 'Impossible! My defence is ranked at 3.1.5, Immortal corse stage 5! almost the peak!' It was then that I noticed I am in big trouble.
I acted quickly to relieve my right arm from the stress-bearing down upon it, using my free left arm I changed it into a piston with a spear at the end of it. Slamming the spear into her side while activating the piston. The spear entered her soft tissue on the side while starting to drill, she quickly reacted and jumped backwards, not reacting someone without any Qi to be able to hurt her. She quickly scanned me again with her senses and then she finally noticed that I was at Immortal Core, stage 3. 'Thanks to tapping into her Qi I was able to replicate it, but that is the reason it seems that she was able to force my one arm under so much stress.
''SURROUND THAT SCOUNDREL! SHE DARES HURT THIS KINGDOM'S PRINCESS!'' Someone shouted, after which I turned around to see an army marching through the main street, a massive carriage in the middle of it, pulled by what seems like 8 horses, but were way too big for that. My cybernetic eyes' iris contracted. 'Who is bothering me at this stage!' I was thoroughly enraged, but my mind became as calm as water the next second. I just smiled, something I have not done since the train accident back in Germany. I activated my armour slowly but steadily, red lines streaking over my clothing as if a hand was grabbing me. Everyone stood in horror as even my face was engulfed. My voice was made deeper, ''Today you will be punished for your sins...''

''ALL RISE FOR HIS HOLINESS!'' The bishops chanted in unison, I just awoke from this terrible dream, ''WHERE IS THE MARSHALL!'' I suddenly exclaimed, the priests all stopped chanting when they heard my shouting while I try to stand up. ''Holiness, please don't stand up too quickly, you were wounded after being sent from the heavens, your battle against evil must have been frightening!'' The fall-in Pope which now is a Bishop again worriedly came to my aid as I tried to stand up under the heavy clothing.
I tried to speak to him again when suddenly a shriek came from outside, ''THE HUNTERS ARE HERE!'' one of the Paladins shouted.

Chapter 134: Light Vs Darkness
Time: [Unknown]
Location: City of Hope
POV: [Unknown]
''How dare they disturb us at such a time, PRIESTS!'' The stand-in pope ordered, ''Your holiness activate your Holy Robe!'' The stand-in pope asked. I looked confused at what was happening, my brain was also giving a splitting headache. I fell to one of my knees as my headache got worse and worse.
I looked at the majestic Entrance where the priests made a massive shield halting anything from coming through, I stretched my hand towards the priests halting the enemies, without thinking a massive beam of light came from my hand, healing the priests will burning the black assassins. ''YOUR HOLINESS PROTECTS US!'' The stand-in pope shouted esthetically.
I finally stood up on my two legs, trying to orientate myself, when I looked at the priests I noticed many non-human features, some had scales, some had fur, some had wood or rock-like skin. I was shaking my head to try to clear it up, I was trying to focus when I saw a man running towards me from the right, I aimed my hand again and try to replicate what I did before, with success, yet the enemy nimbly avoids it continuing on his path.
The stand-in pope saw the action and threw himself in front of me to halt the enemy, the person stabbed him but before he could continue he and the stand-in pope vanished. Before I could react I already fainted due to the headache.
After about 1 hour was I finally awakened by the other priests and Bishops, ''What happened?'' I asked with a groan, ''Your Holiness, former pope Cristian has used his teleportation spell to get him and the enemy as far away from here as possible!'' An experienced bishop replied.
But before I could even speak my consciousness was taken away to a higher plain, in front of me were the stars, but below me, there was the current planet I think I am staying on. I saw it's past, it's present and it's present, although not in 100% detail. But just as I thought I saw it all, another planet appeared in front of me, it was none other than the planet he grew up with.
I looked at it explosion everywhere as mankind was forced into massive bunker complexes. 'What happened?' I asked with a frown.

Time: 1958, (20 years after the Battle)
Location: Capitol
POV: Zulu
I read through the reports on my desk, it was a very compact document of 200 pages with the current status of the Federation. 'New military tank and plane design... New Fission project... New Bunker complex expansion plan... Creation of a new governmental body for fighting Confed... New rocket testing...' I read through the document silently, writing down the achievements of the two factions comparing them to the 10 commandments.
I pushed up my glasses as they slid down slowly of the hours of reading, 2 men appear in front of me, kneeling on one knee. ''ALL HAIL THE MARSHALL!'' The two saluted before handing over a document. I grabbed and opened it, 'Scientists Werner von Braun went missing, whereabouts unknown, motives unknown, conspirators unknown...' I frowned deeply on this information, 'Didn't I order the construction of new jet fighters?' I thought back to my previous orders.
''Commander, also the 2 lions are getting more openly aggresive towards eachother, how should be proceed with dealing with this problem?'' One of the two asked me. ''Just keep going with your current tasks, we must continue operation Red in order to further the Marshall's commandments,'' I said as I continued to analyse the documents. The 2 nodded before disappearing from the field of view. After which I relaxed backwards in the chair, 'Rudolf, Rommel, why do you have to make my life difficult?' I lamented.
I cleaned up my desk and left my office entering a large office full with certain objects, Werner von Brauns' Team states it is something called a Computer.
I walked out through a secret exit and entered the Capitol underground, the underground streets were crowded, yet spacious, gracious yet sombre. Massive stockmarkets, normal markets, science institutes, corporations were all located in the underground capitol at a massive price, not only money wise but freedom wise, as all your details will be processed by the Financial Ministry directly.
I took the train, 1st class towards the 557th underground city, it was electronic production orientated. After a 6-hour long drive did I finally arrive, Switching clothing at one of the Secret police outposts to a more fitting stealth suit, after which I started my personal mission.
''Time to infiltrate the High Command conference...'' I said to myself softly, after which I vanished right to the naked eye, only more clearly visible when I am moving. Moving through the airshaft and ventilation airways I finally managed to sneak into the Small bunker complex, in it was the 20th High Command meeting, one being held each year.
''Today gentlemen we must discuss multiple issues, one is on how to tackle the Confederation or Confed. Rebellion in Asia, currently it is shown they have equal to better weaponry to us and use all types of tactics we haven't seen! We must expand or budget on the development of arms, while also deploying more peacekeeping forces in the area. We cannot show weakness in front of the civil faction! We must start preparing an army separate from the State army, slowly building it up and preparing it to overthrow the civil faction, let us hear the suggestions from you all!'' Rommel said confidently.
I sighed deeply, 'Rommel, why did you have to make me do this, but feel better that your opponent will suffer a similar fate. Why can't they just do what they are told...' I berated Rommel and Rudolf. I opened up the vent and jumped straight into the room.
