Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 831 - Faction

The known universe was vast. In total, there were about 50,000 worlds under the Human Alliance's influence and they were scattered all over the three known realms. 90% of these worlds were considered lower worlds, 9% were the middle worlds, and only 1% were higher worlds.

With such numbers, the magus alliance decided to recognize prominent organizations to rule these worlds, to manage its people and resources. These organizations were known as factions.

These factions separated into 5 Grades based on their contribution and overall strength within the Human Alliance: Grade 1 to Grade 5, with those bearing the affix 'Grade 5' being the most affluent and authoritative factions of all.

The bigger the faction the more authority given to it and that determined whether the faction was allowed to be sovereign over a certain number of worlds.

Grade 1 factions were allowed to sovereign over 3 worlds, with the requirement of having at least 2 grand magus as official members or leader of the faction. There were more than 10,000 such factions within the Human Alliance body.

Grade 2 factions were allowed to sovereign over 10 worlds, with a requirement of having at least 5 grand magus as official members or leader of the faction. There were about a few thousand of them registered.

Grade 3 factions, considered the main backbone of the Human Alliance, were allowed to become the caretaker of one whole galaxy. In order to become one, it was required to have one supreme magus as an official member or leader of the faction. There werr about 500 of them in the Human Alliance.

Grade 4 faction, considered as the elites of the Human Alliance, trusted with the sovereignty over 3 galaxies and 50 worlds. In order to be considered one, the faction needed to have a minimum 3 supreme magus within as official members or leaders of the faction. There were currently 80 factions that were bestowed with this grade.

Finally, Grade 5 factions, considered the leaders of the Human Alliance, were the 12 strongest powers of the human universe, with more than 5 supreme magus on their helm and a supremacy that allowed them to take care of any world, even the mid and high level worlds.

After explaining all this, Lord Izta looked Emery in the eye, "Now Emery, do you know which grade the Nephilim is?"

Emery knew the Wellenstein, Kaleos and Ouroboros were Grade 3 factions. As for the Harlight, they were a Grade 4 faction. Even the Zodiac City, who's considered to be the leader of the 12 Bloodline Clan was only considered Grade 4. As for the Nephilims, they were stronger than all of them, they were one of the oldest, a Grade 5 faction.

Lord Izta let out a deep sigh when he heard Emery's answer. "I hope this gives you some clear idea about who you are planning to go up against." The man sighed again before continuing,

"Headmaster Altus was right, I was too emotional involving you in something that will only endanger all of you… I shouldn't have done that."

Emery raised his face when he heard Lord Izta's words.

"I really put my hopes in Headmaster Altus, hoping something to be done about the matter of Earth's caretaker with his intervention and authority. But now that man is gone and without the support of the academy, we simply have no hope to achieve anything. So, we shouldn't be causing trouble with the Nephilims anymore. Otherwise, we will only invite doom for ourselves."

Emery saw Lord Izta's hands trembling as he spoke those words. He realized the man had been trying hard to calm down his tumultuous emotions. As a result, he couldn't hold himself from speaking.

"Lord Izta… I have seen myself what one Nephilim could do to our home"

Emery was thinking about how Hades got involved and created conflict in Briton.

"I've heard about what they have done 1,000 years ago from the Abbot, and I know there were even more victims in your time." Emery's gaze firm as he continued, "There must be a way to regain our home back"

Seeing Lord Izta turn quiet, Emery asked.

"What about having help from the other factions, like the Ouroboros or some others, I mean if all 5 of us have 5 different high grade fractions to support us, would it help? Will that be a solution?"

Lord Izta sighed, "It might… It might not, depending on what kind of deal you are having… I say you did right with the Ouruobors, they will only add more complication to our problems"

The two once again turned silent. Emery knew the man in front of him had been thinking about such matters for thousands of years, if he had no solution then there might be no hope for Earth. Once again Emery forced himself to ask.

"Please Lord Izta, whatever it was, please tell me… me and my friends we will do our best to try."

Instead of answering, Lord Izta turned his head to the side and talked to an empty air. Immediately, Emery knew the man was talking with Enkidu.

"No! NO! I'm telling you no! It's not possible! What?! I'm scared, you say!? Yes, I am scared! Not for me! What about these kids! What if they decided to reprimand our world!?"

Emery only watched as Lord Izta argued with his invisible friend. Eventually, the man shook his head and returned his attention to him.

"Emery, let me make myself clear, I strongly disagree if you cause further trouble with the Nephilims. You have to understand we cannot fight them, not even in tens of thousands of years. The only way to regain our world is through official orders from the Magus Alliance."

Lord Izta abruptly stopped and was about to argue with himself again. before suddenly turning determined.

"There is one way I can think that would help smooth their decision-making process. The proper way, without the need to beg and wait for help."

Hearing this, Emery was once again full of hope.

Lord Izta took a deep breath before he said the word,

"To make a faction of our own!"

Lord Izta then explains how his Terra kingdom was only considered as a clan, one that was built under Nephilims authority. Hence, they needed to rebuild one anew, a faction of their own.

The first thing that came into Emery's mind when he heard those words was confusion. After all, in order to create a Grade 1 faction, a total of two grand magus figures were needed. Hence, he couldn't help but quickly assume Lord Izta was about to become one.

As if Lord Izta could read his mind, he shook his head and explained.

"As we only need to caretake one world - our world, we might be allowed to form a faction with lower conditions. Still, at least one grand magus figure is needed to allow this to happen."

Lord Izta sighed, as he didn't think he could break through the realm of a grand magus ever. However, Emery noticed the man still seemed to have something to say and hesitated to say it.

"Actually… there is someone, one of us who has made it into the grand magus realm."

Emery was surprised as he had not expected such a revelation. He couldn't help but wonder how it was possible that he had never heard of this before, either from the Abbot or King Fjolrn. However, he quickly noticed the complicated expression on Lord Izta's face and realized things were not that simple.

"We have been hating each other for thousands of years, but maybe you can find and speak to him. In our world, he was once called the Eastern Sage, emperor of Xia Dynasty"
