The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 9: The 10 World Leaders

Shutting down his laptop, Kayn decided to change the topic and asked, "According to the information you just told me about, the main reason why Nicholas was able to successfully replace the Leaders, which are the Popes of both the Church of Fate and the Church of the Messiah, was because of the help of his hidden force, right?"

"I am afraid to say this, but yes, Nicholas' hidden force indeed helped him greatly in his plan," Natas nodded his head in confirmation.

"So, what type of relationship does Nicholas have exactly with his hidden force? Are they his subordinates, or are they standing on equal footing? Or is it a mix between the two?" Kayn wondered as he felt curious about the possibility of taking advantage of Nicholas' allies, just like what the latter did to him.

"Based on what we have gathered so far, it seems to be a bit more complicated than that. The majority of those people are no doubt extremely loyal to Nicholas, but the minority of them seems to be thinking otherwise, probably due to the power they have received through his help,"

"Finally, something good to hear," Kayn felt a slight relief knowing that Nicholas' relationship with his hidden force isn't as strong as he initially expected. As long as there exists a gap between them, he would be able to use that to destroy his hidden force from the inside.

"Not exactly," Natas shook his head, abruptly breaking the look on Kayn's face.

"Wha… what do you mean?" Kayn asked, a bit anxious.

Natas quickly clarified, "Even if those people aren't loyal to Nicholas, there's still no possible way for you to destroy their relationship with each other, no matter what you do,"

"Why?"

"Because the main reason why they are allies with Nicholas in the first place is that they knew of the latter's relationship with the Entity known as the 'Tower'. If it wasn't for that, those people would have long already betrayed him, especially those that have gained a lot of power,"

"That…"

Kayn could only sigh in regret after Natas informed him of how impossible his plan was. "And there goes my hope…"

Honestly, his purpose in asking for information related to Nicholas from Natas was in hopes that he would have a direction of where he should attack the President of the World Leader Alliance because, at this very moment, he still doesn't have the means on how to deal with him. However, he finally realized right now that not only is his information about Nicholas little to none, but he also doesn't have a single clue about the people around the latter as well.

In a war, having a minuscule amount of information about one's opponent is a really dangerous situation. So dangerous that the majority of the generals and commanders who faced such a problem would order a retreat to their troops or be in a defensive position in order to observe more about their opposition, otherwise, they'd just be blindly charging at their enemies.

That's right, if he isn't careful with his move, then he'd be no different from charging blindly toward Nicholas and his hidden force.

"How about the ten World Leaders? After all, his control hasn't reached unto all of them yet," Natas suggested another direction to Kayn that they could try to use to fight against Nicholas.

"Hmmm… Well, as you've mentioned, six out of the ten World Leaders are allies with Nicholas, thus leaving me with only four World Leaders to ask for a possible alliance," Kayn muttered as he started pondering in his head.

Currently, the Dragon Beast Republic, Phoenix Beast Republic, Tiger Beast Republic, Tortoise Beast Republic, Church of Fate, and Church of Messiah are allied with Nicholas. In the future, their alliance would only get stronger and tighter to the point that in every event that took place inside the 'Tower' these six World Leaders would assist each other to gain most of the profits and benefits.

The Phoenix Beast Republic is an organization that majors in cultivating Heroes who are adept with the use of different Magic Art and Mana Manipulation techniques, and their forces put a heavy emphasis on training Battle Mages, a type of Mage that possesses versatility in combat.

The Tiger Beast Republic is an organization that cultivates Heroes who focuses solely on Swordsmanship, Spearmanship, and other forms of martial arts that are used for melee combat. Simply put, their forces all consist of melee combatants.

The Tortoise Beast Republic is an organization that cultivates Heroes who are extremely talented in protecting people or also more commonly known as Tanks.

All geniuses from the forces of these three World Leaders would then be gathered together and compete with each other in the territories of the Dragon Beast Republic, thus the reason why it's the leader of the Four Beast Alliance. Needless to say, there are more reasons why it's the leader aside from the fact that it gathers all the geniuses of three different organizations. Unlike the Phoenix Beast Republic, Tiger Beast Republic, and Tortoise Beast Republic, the forces of the Dragon Beast Republic are trained to be the best Commanders, Generals, Executives, and Strategists to ever exist in their generation. Above all else, the President of the World Leader Alliance and also the first former number one Hero on Earth is also their leader.

Lastly, both the Church of Fate and the Church of Messiah is known to be the two biggest and greatest religions that exist on Earth. Their forces are made up of a mix of a little bit of everything, only the difference is that they have to be devoted believers of their respective Gods.

The Church of Fate is a religion that believes and faithfully serves the God of Fate. The God of Fate is actually not a God inside the 'Tower' nor is it even a real God. Instead, it is said to be the inevitable law and order that all living beings in the entire universe must follow. They preach about not interfering as everything has its deeper meaning and reason behind why it happened, including the massacre and suffering committed by the 'Tower' to the inhabitants of Earth. Regardless, they aren't as pure and neutral as how they claimed themselves to be.

Alternatively, the Church of Messiah is a religion that believes in the so-called Messiah. The Messiah they meant about is not a real God as well nor is it necessarily a Human being, as it could be anyone or even anything. Rather, this religion was created with the hopes and sole purpose of finding the Hero that will save Earth from the 'Tower', thus all members that join them fall under two different categories, either claiming to be the so-called Messiah that will save everyone or someone who helps look for the Messiah.

With the forces of these six huge organizations combined together, Nicholas is no doubt unrivaled at the present.

On the other hand, it goes without saying that hope still exists for Kayn, as there are still the remaining four world leaders he could anticipate to help and assist him in his goal of bringing down Nicholas and his hidden force. These four world leaders are respectively the Kraken Republic, Genesis, Pandora, and Mercenary Nation.

Firstly, Kraken Republic is well-known to be the biggest rival of the Four Beasts Alliance, due to its having control of the eight oceans of Earth which represents the eight different directions of the compass. The majority of their forces and combatants are made up of people that are experts in naval warfare. As such, it's very difficult to defeat them due to all of their territories being located right in the middle of the ocean.

Secondly, Genesis is the leading organization for all the merchants on Earth, which includes all scientists, inventors, and craftsmen, hence they control the economy of all territories, including the territories of Nicholas' forces and allies. They might not have that much of a force compared to any of the nine World Leaders, but regardless of that, they aren't being looked down upon by any of the World Leaders. That's because once they offend them, their source of income would no doubt plummet to rock bottom in a matter of just a single day. One could summarize them as a seriously scary foe to become an enemy with.

Thirdly, Pandora controls the entire underworld of Earth, with most of its members being assassins and bounty hunters that work in all three areas, which are the white area, gray area, and black area. In other words, they are made up of both Heroes and Villains. What's scary about this organization is the fact that no one exactly knows its location. Yes, everyone knows about the territories that they manage, but the truth is, that's actually just the surface level of their force.

Last but certainly not least, is the Mercenary Nation. Unlike the Kraken Republic, Genesis, and Pandora, the Mercenary Nation is an organization that welcomes everyone and will not care about whatever background an individual has. May they be Heroes, Villains, Most Wanted Criminals, or whoever they are, all of them are welcome to come to their territories. Moreover, they don't need an organized force to protect their territories, and if ever they are under attack, the people inside there have all the right to run like the coward they have always been or to stay and fight for their second home. That's because they are under the leadership of a great Hero that has received the recognition of being the number one Hero on Earth after Nicholas announced his retirement and became the president of the World Leader Alliance. This Hero was one of the new companions that followed Kayn when he entered the 'Tower' for the last time and was also known as a one-man army, the Mercenary King Grey.

Although these four World Leaders aren't officially allying with each other, Kayn is aware and has witnessed that they have worked together on numerous occasions to deal with the forces of the Church of Fate and Church of Messiah, or in general, the forces of Nicholas. This means to say that there's at least a level or state of cooperation between them when it comes to dealing with people that dare to hurt their interests.

"We can start with them," Kayn flicked his fingers as he felt glad that they have finally found a direction to start with in their goal of taking down Nicholas. Though the main reason why he was happy is that he could at long last go to sleep with his mind at ease.
