" But we don't even have a way to contact him irrespective of what our decision is, how do we convey it to that person? "
The third numbered spoke, she always kept a broader view and did everything for the organisation even if she had to do hateful things.
Even though aside from the leader, all the women knew each other's identity but they still used their mask in such an important meeting since on this planet people have all kinds of abilities, so they were just being cautious.
" He will be the one to contact us soon, this is the time he has given us to discuss and come to a final decision.
Now, tell me how many of you are against following him as the new leader of the the Pendulum? " The leader spoke and swept her gaze across everyone in the room.
"..."
They were all silent for a while, of course none of them want to just give the Pendulum to a random people who one day popped out of nowhere and began to threaten them.
And they would have retaliated with all their might if they had not seen what that person could do, but now they have to carefully consider whether to give in or fight back.
They also had a doubt what if this was all just a coincidence and he was just lucky, but that would be testing their luck, if he really was the one to summon the Chasms then making the Pendulum disappear would be very easy for him.
" I am against it. " The first to speak was the second numbered Shard, her voice carrying a sense of defiance, she would rather fight back to her left breath then follow that person, especially since he was a man.
"..." This decision was harder for the others, they were completely loyal to Pendulum and their leader or creator, the strongest member of the organisation but if they don't agree there was a chance that Pendulum would be annhiliated.
" I will follow the leader's choice, whatever you choose even if we have to die fighting against him. " The first numbered member spoke, her eyes shining with a golden light, looking especially Beautiful in the dark.
This was the best decision they could make, as both choice had more cons than pros, now the whole decision would depend on the leader's choice but they were all putting their lives in her hands.
" I too will follow leader's decision, over the time it have only been possible because of your plans that Pendulum had reached this level, I am sure you have a better grasp of the situation than any of us. " The vice leader spoke.
All the strong organisation had been around for over several dozens of years, they had lot of members, a great wealth collected over the large period of time, their leaders were strong and they had huge fame.
But pendulum was not even ten years old, yet in such a short time they had become one of the strongest organisation, and had so many strong members that they could rival even the strongest and oldest groups.
But it wasn't until a couple of years that the members saw their leader for the first time, she had never appeared before that moment and had always been controlling the group from the background.
But after she appeared and displayed her strength to be at the 8th Phase of Evolution, the fame and strength of the pendulum soared, as it finally rose and took its place among the top organisations.
Plus, it was the most secretive group where the identities of almost all of its members was hidden from others, the system it worked on was completely different from other organisations.
The leader of Pendulum was able to establish a system that no other group in the world had managed.
No matter how friendly and righteous an organisation can be, but there is always animosity between a few members whether it be because of greed or jealousy.
But it was different in Pendulum, because of the system people had high sense of belonging to the group yet they only worked for individual benefits, bringing conflicts to the minimum.
But the most mysterious of all was the leader, even though the identities of all the women at the 8th Phase was well know by everyone, but no one could actually find who the leader is.
In the 8th Phase Chasm, hundreds of women had entered from different countries and even though they managed to kill the ruler but a lot of women died, but the ones who survived were able to reach the 8th Phase of evolution.
In USA, exactly twenty one women reached the 8th Phase, yet the leader was none of them even though she was the resident of USA. It was the greatest mystery, which beside the vice leader no one knew.
" Hmmm, I understand, you can all return to your normal lives for now, I'll tell you my decision within two days. "
After hearing everyone's response, the leader spoke in a calm tone, just her being there brought calmness to all the members.
Otherwise, the Pendulum was already under a huge pressure because of Lucian and they even felt it might be destroyed, yet all of them were still calm solely because of their leader.
One by one, all the numbered Shards said goodbye to the leader and the vice leader and walked out of there.
They were living two lives, but instead of their ordinary they were more true to their lives as the member of Pendulum.
" This is getting interesting, life was getting quite boring already with nothing major happening but finally there is such a big change and I am sure this person will be the centre of all the Chaos in the future. "
The leader spoke without getting off her seat, then she took off her mask and placed it beside her, if the members were to see her they would be quite shocked and might take her for an imposter.
" Mam, is he the one? " The vice leader asked, while removing her mask and putting it on the table.
" Maybe... who knows, but I am interested, very much so. " Her voice reverberated in the room, a small smile appearing on her face.
' Just what kind of omnipotent being is he, even mam is interested in him. ' the vice leader thought, as she saw this type of expression on her face for the first time.
******
The omnipotent being was lying in the storage room with a big wound on his back, a small blood pool forming around his body, while the other people in the room sat away from him in a corner.
After taking the pill and applying the lotion, Lucian was no longer feeling much pain and even the blood was no longer pouring out, the injury looked a little better than before, though it was still nowhere nearly okay.
' I feel much better now, the noise from outside is getting lower, I guess they have already started dealing with the nearby Xarus. I need to raise my strength as soon as possible. ' Lucian thought, his expression solemn.
