Chapter 615 - 614 – The first phase is over – Part 2.

"Honestly speaking, the chances of that being correct is extremely likely." – said Phantasia.

"Not only that, it seems there are far more 'weird fire wielders' amongst the guild members of Arthur's guild."

"Oh shit." – said Sengen.

"That means the divinities can not only make you stronger, but also people fallowing you?!"

"…Honestly speaking, this is one of the main reasons why the players join religions factions."

"For the special classes."

"This is one of the massive upside that makes people join the religions factions… And you are telling me that now we have now one of their most 'tempting' powers in our hands?"

"…"

"…Wait." – said Orion.

"Are you planning on increasing our group size? Like making a large guild?"

"Hm… I don't know…." – replied Phantasia.

"I mean, the main problem with our little group here is a trust."

"And that is the thing that bother the most the current plan we are doing."

"We can't have the 'untrustful' people around us for now."

"Maybe in future, but now there is no way we can make our own large guild."

"However! We need faith! And we need fallowers to believe in us in order for us to obtain the {Faith} resource."

"And that is something that this place specializes in." – said Phantasia as he approached the balcony.

"This people here are my people."

"My creations."

"Homunculus."

"In other words, I can just create our believers."

"…"

"Oh… Wait. Stop." – said Segen.

"I was indeed informed that the people of this city are homunculuses… A created people."

"So does that mean you could create the larger religion there is, without needing any players?!"

"Holy shit." – said Orion.

"That is straight up cheating, isn't it?"

"Well… Yes. But no." – replied Phantasia.

"There are different kind of homunculuses out there and these ones are the true homunculuses."

"Unlike any other homunculus out there, they have mind, feelings and what not."

"Meaning, they can be used as believers."

"However, I cannot mass produce them anymore."

"?!"

"What?! Why?!" – asked alarmed Sengen.

"Well… To create the true homunculus, you need specific type of material." – replied Phantasia.

"An essence per say."

"From a living being."

"Their materials."

"However, it cannot be something like wolf monster, mindless dragon and what not."

"No."

"It needs to be materials from the intelligent being that needs to be used as sacrifice in order to create the homunculus."

"A intelligent being that can be called a 'person'."

"People."

"…"

"Wait… Are you saying that all of the people here are like what? A living undeads?" – asked Orion.

"No." – replied Phantasia.

"The true homunculus isn't undead a copy, clone or whatever."

"They are completely different beings."

"Simple put, the living beings are just used as sacrifices."

"As for what I can create, the homunculus in question? It depends on what I've used. For example, Orion, you have seen these homunculuses that were with me, right?"

"Yes. I did." – replied Orion.

"Well, they were made with high tier undead materials." – said Phantasia.

"The Brynhild army that I've made are not standard version of the homunculus, but a special one."

"…"

"So, you let me get this straight." – said Sengen.

"To create these so-called true homunculus, you need to first secure materials from a living sentient being that can be called a 'person'."

"Yeb. And after that I need to design the homunculus as a whole." – said Phantasia.

"Depending on materials I use, I could make a normal version, like a regular human, or a special one who wields special powers."

"But either way, I need the main material."

"Which are the people."

"Before, I could easily create as many as I wanted, since I did had a lot of… Prisoners, from all the wars I've had been doing."

"However, I've ran out of them."

"So, if we want more believers, we need more sacrifices."

"Honestly speaking, we still don't know about the whole [Faith] and [Divinity] stats, we lack information."

"And the only way we can do this is to gather up the {faith} resource."

"And to do that, we need 2 things."

"Believers, and points of worship."

"As you know, religions factions have a 'divine' structure that are used to express faith."

"Be it statues or church buildings."

"Heck, the hole empire whole cities were targets of faith."

"So? We need our own churches and what not."

"We didn't made anything yet, because we didn't knew what sort of divinities you will have, the representation of you and what not, as well as the fact that maybe some of you would end up with the same special construction skill like me."

"This place is… Nice."

"However, I will be straight with you all, I don't fully trust the vampires."

"So, I want to make a new base, that is completely out of anybody control."

"That is why we are going to make a brand-new city."

"A city of worship."

"However! We also need another thing."

"Sacrifices in order to make."

"And finally, getting stronger."

"We need to level up our classes that are related to divinities."

"Orion and Sengen."

"You two still need to get stronger in basic way as well."

"You do understand that just being with us you will be walking with you will be living hell, right?"

"Hell. This time we will be walking into several hells at all once."

"So, with that said, we need to upgrade the living hell out of two of you."

"Especially Orion."

"As of right now, you are still the weakest member of our group."

"Not only in terms of level, but also in term of titles."

"Yeahhhh…. I know." – replied Orion.

[Current objectives]

-Find a new location for the base and create new brand base.

-Remade the current base [Abaddon].

-Obtain more materials to make more homunculus fallowers.

-Increase the level of the divinity classes.

-Make both Sengen and Orion more powerful.

"Hm… Wouldn't it be easy to do the whole base thing and material thing easy?" – asked Maparapara.

"We can just attack a settlement that is under any hostile faction, wipe out everybody and create our new base."

"Yeah… No." – replied Phantasia.

"I get what you mean, but the second base that we will need to make will need to be extremely LARGE!"

"Even larger then whole Abaddon."

"There could be a chance that we may be forced to move all of our people and equipment to that new location, if by any chance this whole vampire nation end up getting fucked."

"However, we have problem."

"Creating an underground city isn't exactly easy or fast."

"If you haven't forgotten, I've invested a lot of time and money to even create this whole underground city."

"However, this time we need to make our base somewhat 'fast'."

"Since, again. Shit is going down everywhere."

"But, as you all know, I'm way too famous and way too important figure."

"So, if I were to make some kind of new base right in the open, you can bet your assess we will end up getting harassed way too much."

"Taking over a city and remaking it into our new base is out of a question."

"We need to make a brand new base, but it cannot be easily found or attacked."

"We need a secure location where nobody will held authority there, beside us and we can do whatever we want there."

"Hm… Then it won't be really easy, won't it?" – said Thanatos.

"There is war straight up going everywhere."

"Especially now with the shadow mastermind throwing in the info about the divinity into the mix, it will be way harder to hide."

"Once the taste of the divinities will touch the major factions, they will start searching like maniacs."

"And if we build our base in the hidden location that wasn't explored yet, then it wouldn't be surprised if we would end up getting exposed somewhat quickly."

"Yeb… And that is the fucking problem." – said Phantasia.

"Honestly speaking, I've had few locations in mind which we could had possible used as our hiding spots."

"But they won't fucking work now because the bullshit situation we are in."

"…"

"However, let's just say we may had obtained a replacement that I didn't expected to obtain."

"Oh? Considering your expression, I think you found something nice." – said Maparapara.

"Yeah…." – said Phantasia.

"It is another fucking annoying situation… A conspiracy… But I'm going to say this straight."

"Fuck it."

"We are going to annihilate the entire ice dragon clan."

"And take over their nest to create our brand-new base."

"!"

"Wait, you mean you want to exterminate one of the dragon clans?! Do you know what you are talking about!?" – asked alarmed Sengen.

"Yeah. I do." – replied Phantasia.

"I have already justification for this."

"And not only that, at the Ice Mountain, I've had encounter with the queen of that ice dragon clan."

"And I've killed her."

"I even have in possession her body."

"?!"

"Holy shit… You killed her?!" – said surprised Orion.

"Yeb. And now thanks to her, I can murder her entire clan." – said Phantasia.

"And once we do that?"

"We can create our brand-new city."
