The Rise Of Calamity

"Enough" he muttered, yet, his voice echoed in everyone's ears, causing them to freeze and look at the young boy at the 'end' of the table warily.

"Pride?" One of them muttered under their breath.

"I will not watch as you idiots destroy everything that I had built with my bare hands so far with your petty squabbles!" The boy, draped in a white extravagant suit. His white hair glistened in the lightless room while his crimson eyes pierced through the soul of everyone on the table.

"I-I am sorry sir" Greed bowed down without thinking twice, however, lust stood there arrogantly, possibly with even more pride than Pride himself.

"Lust?" Pride raised a brow.

"Why would I bow to you?" She asked, her devil-like horns beginning to radiate with an unknown reddish-pink light.

"Because I am your leader" He smiled.

"That does not mean anything in front of power" Her eyes began to glow with the same pink light that her horns were glowing with before enveloping the room in a pink hue.

"Lust... Please stand down" A little girl sucking on a red lollipop looked at Lust with a piercing gaze.

"None of you control me!" She roared, causing pink and red winds to come out of her body while two wings sprouted out of her back.

*Sigh*

"Last chance" Pride looked at her with a mixture of pity and anger at what was about to happen to her.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN BEA-" Before she could even finish her sentence, her eyes became cloudy while her stiff body descended to the ground, not being able to move a single muscle.

The little girl who was sucking on a lollipop looked at Pride with a sigh before muttering to herself "To think all he would need is a single glace at her. How pathetic"

"Even though I had to stop their pathetic squabble, I do want to say that Lust's plan is not too bad.  However, we will not be implementing it now, and instead, we will implement it when the empire is at its lowest" Pride's face stretched into an inhuman cruel smile, allowing everyone to see all his teeth.

"How do we know when it is time?" Envy, the one who had been staying silent this whole time alongside gluttony finally spoke out.

"Don't worry. I can feel that the continent's end is near. All we can do for now is recruit people from the different regions. We shall have the people who had infiltrated the regions from years ago become active again. They shall do all the dirty work while we will just clean after them"

***

  Back in Lagua city, 3 girls could be seen grouped together, one with twin tails, another with white hair, and the last being the tallest one with black hair and Japanese features that had made her significantly different than all the other people in the city since no one looked like her.

"Did you feel that?" Yuri asked in distress

"Everything should be fine" June waved her off

"Fine? FINE!? We have been waiting for her to come out for more than 2 weeks now, and when we finally come to see how she is doing, she just disappeared from her location and appears dozens of miles away? How the FUCK am I supposed to calm down" Yuri grabbed June's collar and lifted her up, but due to June being calm and an already proficient fighter for her stage, she was able to quickly get out of Yuri's grip while jumping a few meters away.

"Yuri calm down. P- I mean Lilith can explain everything when she comes back.

"Oh, can she now? Can she explain why the fuck she hadn't come out of-?" before she could finish her rant, the mana signature finally became faint enough for none of them to be able to feel it, meaning that the breakthrough was finally over.

"Why are you so angry anyway? It's not like you two were close or something? The last time you were together you tried to kill her, and now you happen to just care about her enough to begin a rant in the middle of the street in front of dozens of people? I wonder what they think of our guild~" Olivia faked her concern for the guild with an audible moan.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SA-"

*BOOM!*

A large dust cloud kicked up from the ground causing countless civilians around to move back in fear.

"Why are you fighting?" The cold feminine voice trailed out of the smoke and entered everyone's ears, causing everyone who heard her voice feel their skin crawl.

"N-Nothing" June Stuttered.

"They are being stupid..." Olivia pointed at the two using her thumb

"These bastards are provoking me!" Yuri shouted at the same time as the other two had spoken.

*sigh*

Rose simply sighed and looked back, waiting for the next person to crash land and cause another dust cloud to be kicked into the air.

***

In the sky, I was currently flying at a fairly moderate speed. Even though this was not my current best, it would have been the same as my speed before the breakthrough if I were to try and go at full speed, unless of course, I was using flash step.

"Hela?" I spoke out loud 

[Yes?]

"My rewards" I smiled

[What rewards?]

'...'

[...]

'...'

[Okay I'm kidding! But there is a small problem...]

"What?" I asked, worry filling my heart

[Well, it seems that you will have to wait a couple of months before the heavenly retribution can occur again and if you want to evolve, it is better to do so when completing the heavenly retribution]

'What about the other reward?' I asked with my brows knitted.

[Ding]

[Congratulations on obtaining the title -Inventor-]

[Congratulations on upgrading the title -Inventor- to -Expert Inventor-]

"That's more like it" A smile finally bloomed across my face before a serious expression replaced it when I looked down.

'Look like there might be another fight, but this time, I'll wipe the floor with her ass' I smiled, this time laced with bits of cruelty as I looked at Yuri's luscious curves, resisting the temptation to lick my lips
