“So, what you are saying is that these aliens will be attacking earth? I see.” The old man said. He had reason to believe them, as they recently they had detected an unidentified object entering the earth’s solar system.
The old man’s report of the strange object entering the solar system further cemented and gave everyone assurance that Avin was indeed telling the truth.
“I’ll take it from here and call for a meeting with everyone else. They definitely listen to me more than they would to you.” The old man said to Bernard, “And I suppose you wouldn’t want to trouble yourself.”
“Yes, feel free.” Said, Veritas, in response.
Like that, the old man led the way why Veritas followed behind as they left for a different location.

While all this was happening at the surface, Victor was wrapped in his own problems trying to develop his new power that seemed to be proving difficult, more than he imagined it would.
Even now, he was still unable to properly feel necessary changes, but at least he now had a little more control.
.....
He remained in the same position and tried to be as calm as possible, which wasn’t difficult for him. Perhaps the difficult part came when he had to reach within himself to feel some sort of power within.
Since he needed to feel and create some kind of power from what he understood, Victor thought it would be better to simply ask the system to fuse his skills and make a different one, maybe that would provide the power he sort, and finally grant him the control over an authority, but that was impossible.
For one, the system couldn’t fuse different skills nor separate them, and then there was the fact that the system did not understand this concept of authority, at least it seemed so.
Nevertheless, Victor kept on trying, as he felt he was at the verge of achieving something.

Back on the surface, the meeting with the rest of the world leaders basically, had started, and things were not looking pretty.
Though many suggested for them not to partner or work with the Atlantians who wished tp go against their king, the news from VIM CORP about the appearance of a strange object was not optimistic by any means.
It was a straight forward thing. It was either they all agreed to side with the Atlantian faction agaist the king and hopefully made adequate preparations against their coming enemy, or they fight amongst themselves and ultimately get what’s coming to them.
The entire gathering of leaders seemed to be going the wrong way for a bit, but then the head of the Razhin faith appeared on the scene. Though he was invited and informed of the meeting, he seemed to have paid it no mind, as usual, so it was started without him being present. As for Victor, no one ever saw him, so they were satisfied with the attendance of his second in command and only hoped he was close by seeing all that was happening and making decisions in secret.
The leader of the Razhin faith did not only arrive at the scene, but he did in style, or rather, an unusual way.
The entrance was definitely behind all the seats present at the congress hall, and it certainly faced the podium where the one talking would stand, in this case, the old man from VIM CORP, as he was giving all the necessary presentations depicting the situation.
Despite this, the leader of the Razhin faith entered through the stage where the podium was. There was no destruction, he just came through the very walls, and as soon as his feet touched ground, he headed for the mic. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
Seeing him draw closer, the old man hurriedly gave way for him to pass, but it seemed that wasn’t it. Instead of making his way down the stage, he walked up to the mic, and after looking through everyone present, he spoke.
“We will side with the Atlantian faction against their king and make adequate preparations for the war to come.” After saying this, he looked to the side where he appeared from, where the other who came with him was still standing, and seeing his look the other came.
As soon as the man who came with the head of the Razhin faith got close to where he stood before, the head left and disappeared back into the wall.
The entire thing happened within a single minute, even before it was up, but no body dared to say a word against his decision. They all remained silent, and the one who came with him headed off stage and took a seat for himself.
“Well, we all have heard from Lord Majek, anyone who disagrees is free to raise their hand and give their reason.” Said the old man, and as expected, no one dared raise a hand.
With that, it was decided, and without staying behind to waste any time, most of the scientist organizations left the place while following behind the old man. No matter how much they would want to disagree, it was a fact that the old man was just that much better. Perhaps, if it wasn’t the singular fact that he was under VIM CORP, they would all abandon their works to work under him.

Time Skip – 15 days since the meeting.
During this time, Avin was sent back with good news to his master that the people of the surface had agreed to what they proposed, and then found a way to arrange a secret meeting with those of the surface.
The representatives of this meeting included all the people that had been to Atlantis during the last meeting except for Victor whose where about was still unknown.
After much talk, they formulated a plan on how they would go about things, and necessary information was traded. Both sides haven’t really built any trust with the other, so their relationship wasn’t the best. But, considering the fact that what they were doing dictated their lives, none of them would mind.
The plan was simple. The current king was supposed to be changed soon due to age, even though he still looked mid aged. It wasn’t so much about age, but more that he could no longer contain the power within him, as was the fate of all Atlantian kings. The next king has been in the prep chamber for the adequate number of years, and the time for him to inherit the king’s legacy as they referred to it was in a couple years, but now it would be brought forwards.
Once the new king is made, every other thing will carry on from there.
With that, those from the surface got ready for the war to come in a few days, and soon the day came for them to battle it out.
