Divine Evolution: Primordial of Imagination-Chapter 50: Marionette Army [1]

"What exactly is going on in that head of yours?" The voice of Corinthian reverberated through the air.

They remained locked in the hall, alongside others.

But Corinthian’s gaze was fixed on Lenny, Lenny shrugged "Guess?" Lenny giggled, his arms folded.

Corinthian’s eyebrows furrowed "Firstly’’ He sighed, "You are damaged in the head, I won’t be able to guess"

"And secondly, you don’t want to save Pedro von Venus right?" He asked.

Before Lenny could speak, Corinthian continued "But you also don’t want Crystal to succeed"

"You want the two Great Houses to be at each other’s neck but not completely at the mercy of the Den of Thieves"

"Am I speaking facts?" He asked, Lenny glanced at Corinthian for a moment "It ain’t suprising you figured out that much"

"We Nights were bred to be smartest, you are quite both correct and wrong at the same time"

Corinthian raised an eyebrow, "How so?" He asked. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Lenny cleared his throat, "You are right about me not caring if Pedro von Venus dies"

"In fact I want him to die, one dead noble is one less threat, but the Den of Thieves are my Archenemies"

"We can’t rest until one side is plunged into despair" He chuckled softly, "Ofcourse why should I put the Great Houses at their mercy?"

"They are savages who weren’t tutored to restrict themselves" He sighed, "My true plan is simple, Pedro von Venus will die tonight"

"But Crystal will fail, and I simply don’t just want only Pedro’s death, it isn’t enough to create open enemity with the Great House Ares"

"I will be wiping out all the descendants sealed in that training facility, every single one of them"

"And I’ll also unleash chaos in the Regulator’s Association, and I’ll act as a savior"

"A hero who came to save the day by taking out all Crystal’s avatars" He grinned darkly.

Corinthian couldn’t believe his ears, "You....you are....."

"Great right?" Lenny chuckled, "I know, you don’t need to remind me, the one who reaps the biggest reward will be me" He bragged.

Corinthian breathed deeply, "I see" His lips curled up, "When do you begin?" He asked.

Lenny lingered for a moment "When I’ve confirmed all cards have been set in motion"

"When Crystal makes her move and her partner isn’t a direct threat to my plans" He explained.

Corinthian nods, "That’s perfect, but what about the bitch.....are you planning to kill her tonight?" He asked.

Lenny was in deep thoughts, "Her main body might be in Evernight City but it still won’t be easy to kill her"

"Abd besides I don’t want her to die yet" He added.

Corinthian had a confounded look written on his face "But why?"

Lenny softly exhaled "Her existence is needed for my secrets to still remain hidden"

"She’s a divine ranker, the trump card of the Den of Thieves" He smiled, "They’ll surely make sure she doesn’t die"

"And If she does, they won’t hold back against me"

"They’ll surely make sure the last divine ranker alive must die, they fear what I might be in the future"

"I’m not strong enough, in fact....I’m too weak to contend with a secret order"

"The bitch stays alive for now"

Corinthian didn’t retort, he made no sounds as he thought deep about Lenny’s reasons.

And it made sense to him.

Crystal is currently Lenny’s bargaining chip to the Den of Thieves, he must not cross the red lines.

Not when he’s still so weak.

A mere Rank 2 Fallen Regulator in a world governed by Rank 9 Fallen Regulators.

Crystal watched atop the skyscraper, her gaze fixed on the dome shaped building, Number 015 stood beside her.

"You still haven’t made a move yet?" He asked.

Crystal smiled "Lenny’s appearance has created a set-back to my plans but I already have counter plans for it"

"One of my avatars has located Pedro von Venus but he’s currently sealed alongside other descendants of Venus"

"I would need to unseal that training facility if that brat must be killed" She explained.

Number 015 stared at the sky, the fierce wind blew, their silver hair fluttered in the air.

A wicked grin appeared on his lips as he stared at his cousin "Then we must switch to the second phase of plan, and I must get myself involved"

"Not only will Augustus von Venus, a General be in charge of guarding the Association"

"I suspect a titled Lord is watching everything, we must act fast and act right"

"Our attacks must be swift and decisive"

Crystal nods, "I’m aware of that" Her eyes flickered, "But don’t go overboard, Vixen’’ she warned.

"Oh?" Number 015 raised an eyebrow, "I feel honored the mighty heiress remembers my name"

"But while I’m on a mission, my name isn’t Vixen au Drakkon, it’s Number 015, I hope you understand"

Crystal sighed softly, "I do" She answered.

Number 015 nods, "Good, then let’s begin my lady"

"I’ll start by activating my marionettes"

***

According to the laws of the Regulator’s society, there was nothing in this world that couldn’t be stolen.

Was it fate?

Destiny?

Time?

Life?

Everything could be stolen, the question was.....are you strong enough to steal them?

Are you ready to face the consequences of your theft?

Vixen’s primary Fallen Rune had only one effect.

It is a Supreme rank Fallen Rune.

It effect was the ability to steal the mind and identity of his targets, making them hollow.

Void of identity and mind, his secondary Fallen Rune complimented him as it was a parasitic Fallen Rune.

Granting him the ability to transform all victims of his theft into marionettes since they no longer exists.

Vixen was sent to Evernight two years ago, he had enough time to steal identities and minds of countless Fallen Regulators.

Making them his marionettes.

And he did.

For this ruthless Cultist had unleashed a total of two thousand marionettes against the Regulator’s Association.

All were Rank 1 Fallen Regulators, they had no minds of their own.

No identity, they weren’t recognized by Fate.

So they became his soldiers.

And now they march to their deaths!
