Akashic Artefact is usually too dangerous, to be left around the multiverse. They were created by the usage of some Akashic Records, which gave those Artefact unprecedented power to abilities. One must know, there must be a balance in the universe, between all things and living. G.o.d-Devil System was created by the usage of several Akashic Records, and because it was in the G.o.d-Devil Plane, which was sealed, it can"t be extracted so easily and brought back to the Root.Always, when some Akashic Artefact appeared in the multiverse, it causes war through the whole multiverse and burned down countless worlds, and countless lives were lost. From what Lucien knew that only several individuals or organizations were in possession of Akashic Artefact and they could be counted as true rules of the Akashic Multiverse, of course, not counting the Administrators of the Akashic Records, as every one of them had at least one or two of those, but because they didn"t intervene much in politics of the Akashic Multiverse, they weren"t on the list.
Lucien read many things about the Akashic Artefacts, that were known, and were in possession of certain individuals or certain organizations. One would think that most precious and powerful ones would be those as weapons, but it wasn"t the truth. Most precious were support types as G.o.d-Devil System, as they had a variety of functions because they could serve as a weapon when needed by more importantly were able to improve cultivation of owner to let him become a real powerhouse. G.o.d-Devil System was one of them, and the most famous one was YGGDRASIL, Akashic Artefact with abilities to harvest the Life Force of killed being and strengthening the owner. Most terrifying things was that it could be used to strengthen body and energy alike, currently, the host was none and artifact was apparently dormant.
=============================================
Days went as fast as the wind and soon, there was the message sent, that CCG would start with the cleaning of the 20th Ward from every ghoul located in the Ward. The operation would start after two days from now, to which Lucien showed a delighted smile when he heard this news from Arima.
He immediately started organizing everything on his end to prepare for the "Final Act" perfectly as he could, because this was the last thing he would ever do in the Low-Grade World and he wanted to do it perfectly. Also, he would receive huge merit in the Empire, as he managed to get rid of blood traitors which were his mission.
Soon, when the final day arrived, whole 20th Ward was basically locked down, with every road blocked with military or police. Apparently, the Washuu Clan together with their subservient organization Commission of Counter Ghoul used much of its power, at least what remained, and were prepared to do this perfectly.
The military was blocking every road, to prevent anybody from either entering the 20th Ward or escaping the Ward. Major location in the 20th Ward was already swarming with cannon soldiers of the CCG and low-rankling ghoul investigators, clothed in the combat attires, which looked rather unpractical.
High-ranking ghoul investigators were already with their own squads of cannon fodder soldiers of the CCG, prepared to engage the Aogiri Tree members who appeared out of nowhere and started slaughtering the soldiers and policemen, at the blockades. This caught the CCG by surprise, as they weren"t expecting huge retaliation. They were preparing to enter hideouts of small ghoul gangs to annihilate them and not to combat practically whole Aogiri Tree who was already on the stand by.
Lucien stood on the top of the roof, together with his Holy Imperial Knight, a.r.s.eahr and Zelilios by his side. There was also one more person beside a.r.s.eahr and Zelilios, and that was soon-to-be Holy Imperial Knight Tatara. Behind the three of them, there were more than two hundred red-cloaked people wearing weird skulls masks. Members of the Aogiri Tree were already ready under Tatara"s command.
Lucien didn"t know where Eto disappeared when she gave the command to Tatara, but Lucien didn"t care too much, as he knew that she was already loosing he sanity, she was still pretty strong for an ordinary ghoul.
"It"s starting."
Said Lucien calmly as he was clothed in his samurai-like battle attire and wearing the Hollow Mask. Truth to be told, he truly enjoyed wearing this armor, as it was practical and also, he loved his Hollow Mask as it looked intimidating and dominating. He made a mental note, that when he arrived at the G.o.d-Devil Plane he would need to find the very capable blacksmith to make him a better version of his Armor and Mask at least at the Royal-Grade.
All three Holy Imperial Knights nodded hearing his words and waited for further instructions. More to be precise they only watched the confrontation between cannon fodders of the CCG and the Aogiri Tree as neither side sent a strong fighter to join the fight. This was only testing of waters.
"Tatara bring your men there and leave non-alive. This is the last chance to slaughter as many as you can of the filthy doves and complete your mission of killing Washuu Yos.h.i.toki. Zelilios you have your orders, go to the HQ of the CCG and help Arima in his mission. Same to you a.r.s.eahr, head to the HQ of Vasuki and complete your order."
All three bowed slightly, soon a.r.s.eahr and Zelilios were already nowhere to find and they disappeared to complete their own missions. Tatara then led his small army of ghouls, to slaughter his way to the command center of the CCG, where his target Washuu Yos.h.i.toki was located. Lucien was still observing the fight between his p.a.w.ns and p.a.w.ns of the Washuu.
Soon, as he had enough of observing, he vanished from the roof where he was standing and went to complete his own mission, the extermination of the Washuu Clan and headed to the estate which belonged to the Washuu.
"Let the fun begin."
