Limitless The Strongest Revenant

'Especially with all the shit I just learned.'

"Patron, I will go first."

"Okay, Yvonne. Please speak your mind. Oh, use proper English, okay? Otherwise I won't understand."

"Hehe, got it. I am working on not using slang Patron."

"I know. Well, go ahead."

Our chief saint lost her smile and suddenly turned serious.

"Patron, I have been a reaper for almost four months, and the information shared earlier was truly overwhelming. I always wondered why the Devil's Remains were named as they were. I suspect that Administration did this to hide the fact that malice is not something from hell, but from human nature.

"Even more insane is the Armistice, the suppression of the Formless, and the Reapers as a whole. This is like Revenant level information! As if that was not enough, I even learned how important the Saint Division has suddenly become! And that is just a small part of it! I cannot fathom the burden you must carry, Patron, especially as you create a new battlefront!"

Cynthia nodded as she spoke.

"I agree with Yvonne, my lord. We have been far too complacent. The malice thing with the World Tree alone has already unsettled me. And as much as I thought things were bad before, you suddenly say it will get worse with the lifting of the Armistice."

Then she showed me her hands. They were shaking uncontrollably.

"My lord, I do not know how you do it. But I am terrified. It is true that Hellsend has begun to forge its own path, but we are too few. And in two months we will be tested again. All our strength depends on you and the Sirens. Should the 8 of you fall, the rest of us would not be able to survive what is to come.

"I agree with your instructions to the benevols. In order to be ready for whatever is to come, we must prepare and train our forces. In the battle against Andromalius, the Ten Graves were used to create a giant nail. Despite being the largest group in Hellsend, we are far too weak compared to both the Saint Division and the Siren Squads."

Lucretia, who was tapping her finger lightly on the table, spoke next.

"My Lord, we know too little. The Graveyard, the other continents, the lower levels of Hellsgate, and finally Trinity. We are severely lacking in information. Phillip's knowledge, while enlightening, only shows us how little we actually know."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She then saluted me earnestly.

"My lord, I am once again convinced that choosing you as our lord was the right decision. Unlike the Gertrude family, you know the end that is coming and are actively working to prevent it. It was your insight and wisdom that created Hellsend. If there is salvation when Hellsgate breaks open, I am sure it will be because of you, my lord. Please allow me to assist you with all my might."

Yvonne and Cynthia followed suit and also swore oaths of loyalty.

"My Lord, I, Cynthia Carmine, vow to you. The Ten Graves will ascend or die trying. To aid Hellsend, I promise you that we will see to it that we grow stronger. Strong enough to be one of the pillars supporting you. I have been with you since your first week, and I will be with you until the end of your journey."

"Patron! You already know that the loyalty of the Saint Division is with you. With such a heavy burden, we will also change. If only we could lighten yours a little. Leave the blessings and benevols to us. As a critical component of the battlefront, we will not fail!"

Death resonance leaked out of Cynthia and Yvonne. Phillip, noticing quickly, shielded Lucrecia from the outburst. Somehow I found it comforting. These two, along with Addi, were the first three Production Guild Leaders who formed the LLG for me.

While the number of subordinates I had at my disposal grew steadily, they were the first to cause the battlefront to move. They gambled and created the 2nd Production Group, all because they saw what I could do.

And now that they have heard what I have to face, they still wanted to stay. Whether it was fighting three continents, Trinity, the horrors of Hellsgate, or the malice of this world, they refused to leave. Instead of running or hiding, these girls showed the fighting spirit of battle-hardened warriors.

They did not complain, but only wanted to do whatever they could to ease my burden. Even though we didn't have a {Kindred} connection, I could feel the emotions burning in their hearts. We may have started out as strangers, but Cynthia Carmine and Yvonne Kalapas were undoubtedly people I considered family.

'My {Kindred}, I wish to make Yvonne and Cynthia my {Vassals}, will you allow it?'

Since {Vassals} were limited, the girls scolded me for giving them out arbitrarily. It was said that a Revenant could only maintain twelve. And I had already used up six. Two for the Bakers, two for Delroy and Pixie, and two more for Vincent and Lucrecia.

They were worried that once I found powerful people, I would have wasted my slots on shit. So they demanded that if I wanted to nominate someone, they had to vote on it first. Being an emotional bastard, I agreed.

While the {Kindred} link was useful, the girls not being able to hear each other was annoying. I transcribed what everyone was saying into Exa and had her send it to everyone. When I wanted to be discreet, I didn't. This allowed us all to have a {Kindred} link conference.

'I see no reason why you cannot, my love, both are quite capable. I vote in favor.'

'They are not worth it, darling. They are too stupid. For the work they do, their status doesn't matter, let's save the spots for someone else. I vote against.'

'Jo, hardly anyone would be smart compared to you. As for me, I do not like either of them, Husband. But I cannot deny that they are good at what they do. I will follow your will.'

'Jas, what is the point of voting if you agree because Honey did it? However, Mr. Code, I think that although they are excellent choices, they are both expendable. I vote against.'

'I agree with Bella, Anata. What they have achieved is only because you allowed them to. I have yet to see the courage to warrant them being your {Vassals}. I vote against.'

'If you judge by merit, apart from Eva, the rest of Possum's {Vassals} are shit. And even that slagger has hardly proven anything. What's important is whether Possum likes them. I vote in favor.'

With the vote tied at three for and three against, I waited for the last Siren to speak.

'Dearest. May I ask what made you decide to make them {Vassals} in the first place?'

'Phillip and I have been discussing what is to come, and it is not a pretty picture. They both heard me, but when we finished, they both swore that they would be my strength. I felt...happy I guess? These two have been with me since my 2nd evening. I see them as family...'

'Family, huh? Then with respect to your will, dearest, I vote in favor. From this point on, I will also consider them family. Proceed,' Lilly said with a cool voice.

'Is that okay with everyone? Bella, Jo, Aki, are you okay with me doing this?'

'Yes, Mr. Code. What is the point of voting if you change the result so long as one of us disagrees? Family should stay together, even those who are not of the same blood.'

'Darling. Your family is my family. Yvonne is already my lil sis. Now I have gained another. No worries.'

'Shujin, I am your {Kindred}. Your will is also mine. Do not mind me.'

'Thank you everyone.'

Due to the speed at which all of our minds operated with {Calculate}, the entire exchange took less than a few seconds. I raised my hands and extended them to Yvonne and Cynthia.

"Yvonne, Cynthia, I recognize your loyalty and give you mine. Please join me as my {Vassals}."

Surprised, both were stunned, but quickly approached and took my hand.

"Cynthia Carmine accepts Limitless as her lord."

"Yvonne Kapalas accepts Limitless as her lord."

And just like that, my family just got a little bigger.
