“That’s right, we are in the middle of the discussion.”
Hearing this, James was intrigued. He asked, “What are you discussing about? I’m all ears.”
Wearing a grim expression, Kallinikos said, “The Omnipotent Lord has proposed merging the universes into one many times in the past. However, he failed each time. This time, he sent many powerful figures to the other universes and wreaked havoc, forcing the Lords to agree to his demands.”
James said, “Consolidation brings many benefits. Why are you guys in disagreement? Once the twelve universes merge into one, a Super Heavenly Path will be born. By then, the limitations of Heaven and Earth could be broken. This is extremely beneficial to everyone.”
Yekaterina nodded and said, “We know that, of course. What we are worried about is the Omnipotent Lord. As a Nine-Power Macrocosm Ancestral God, he’s the most powerful of us all in all twelve universes. Once the universes merge into one, he will surely be the Lord of the new universe. By then, he would be able to get rid of us easily if we stood in his way.”
Tomislav chimed in, “Indeed, he will surely resort to some underhanded tactics after the consolidation of the new universe. Perhaps he will consolidate the new universe’s power to launch an all-out assault on the Dark World. By then, the world will be ruined once more.”
James, however, said nonchalantly, “It’s only a matter of time before we fight a war against the Dark World, no? Every now and then, the Dark World will launch a Dark Strife and cause innumerable losses and massive casualties on our side. The twelve universes and the Dark World have bad blood between us. So isn't war only a matter of time?”
James’ question made the others fall silent. After some time, Kallinikos said, “You are right. The twelve universes and the Dark World are two fundamentally opposing sides. However, even if we consolidate
the strength of the new universe, we won’t stand a chance against the Dark World. Launching a war haphazardly will only diminish the overall strength of the twelve universes.”
James nodded slightly and said, “Your worries are not without reason. However, whoever becomes the Lord of the new universe will surely not launch an all-out war haphazardly. Once the universes merged into one, I predict that we will enter a golden age. Many providences will appear, and the overall strength of the twelve universes will rise.”
The others looked at James, unable to guess what was going through his mind. However, what James said was similar to what the Omnipotent Lord said in the past.
Kallinikos asked, “What do you think about the consolidation then?”
James said smilingly, “Consolidation is an eventuality. The matter we ought to be discussing now would be the position of the new Lord. What candidates do you have in mind, may I ask?”
The four individuals looked at each other.
Kallinikos said, “The Omnipotent Lord is determined to seize the position. After all, he’s the one who spearheaded the consolidation.”
James said smilingly, “Not necessarily. We elect the new Lord of the new universe. You can elect me, for example.”
“You?”
They looked at James.
James said with a smile, “Why? Am I not eligible?”
The four of them fell silent.
At that moment, they understood why James came looking for them. He was here to garner their support so that he could become the new Lord of the universe. What sets him apart from the Omnipotent Lord, then? Nothing, for they were ambitious men. However, if they had to choose between the Omnipotent Lord and Forty-nine, he would opt for the latter.
