Viktor had already gone on alert and immediately ordered all defense forces, including the military, to stand guard tightly at the upper area while also keeping the citizens from finding out what was really happening.
Meanwhile, Sergei kept trying to contact the predator factions, but there was no response at all. That only made him more convinced that his predator faction had already been wiped out.
"From the start, those low-caste seeds were strong, but not reliable in the long run… damn it…" Sergei complained.
Sergei went up and headed to a small town to meet someone. On the way, he saw so many soldiers already on standby and preparing.
"Why is Viktor this scared? He's always been calm all this time… is the real threat really about to come soon?" Sergei thought.
When he arrived, he saw a blind woman sitting quietly in front of her house. She looked weak.
Sergei crouched in front of her and immediately asked, "Hey Eira, do you see what's going to happen to Northern?"
Eira was startled because someone suddenly spoke, but she knew that voice belonged to Sergei, the person who gave her a place to stay.
"The future of Northern… it seems like it will be much better," Eira said softly.
"Much better… explain in more detail!" Sergei wasn't satisfied, that answer was still too vague for him.
"I only speak based on what I see inside myself. I can't convince anyone to believe it, and I don't know the details either. What I know is just the outline, that Northern will be better for everyone," Eira explained.
"For everyone… that means low caste too…? So they really are going to corner the high caste and force them to become the same… no wonder Viktor is upset and on alert," Sergei concluded.
But deep in her heart, Eira knew what Sergei said was wrong. That wasn't what she meant, but she stayed silent.
Sergei immediately left because that was all he came for. Eira was believed by the people of Northern as an accurate fortune teller.

Meanwhile in Ventervirk, the people there still couldn't accept the predator faction that was said to have become allies, because that faction had caused so much trouble and many low-caste victims had already fallen because of them.
White Wolf didn't deny that and just stayed silent, his ego still too high to apologize.
Nic approached her and said there was no need to apologize now because it wasn't the right time and he wouldn't be forgiven anyway.
"Wait until everything is done and calm, then you can do it, right?" Nic said.
White Wolf smiled and nodded.
They were all preparing to attack, and Nic said there would be no strategy, just cause chaos outside while he himself would attack the core together with Galea.
Fannar slammed his fists together. "YOO! JUST AS KING RAVEN ORDERED! FINALLY JUSTICE WILL BE ON OUR SIDE!!"
Everyone looked fired up and they departed that very day.
They had quickly grown close because of Nic and were starting to work well together.

Quinny had arrived and met Viktor.
"So explain the details why you called me," Quinny said coldly.
Viktor, seeing Quinny's attitude, laughed. "You've gotten a bit arrogant after being taken by Leon. Did you forget my contributions?"
Quinny sighed. "No need for small talk about unimportant things. Just explain."
Viktor was a bit annoyed but eventually explained that there was a threat that could ruin Northern's image if it managed to reach this place.
"There's a new faction whose identity isn't familiar to us," Viktor said, then he explained the characteristics of King Raven.
Quinny immediately smiled. "I still don't get you, why are you so against looking things up on the internet?"
Viktor stayed silent. Northern had always avoided the internet and media because they didn't want too much attention. Even for outside news, they were limited and only got it from fellow elites.
"That weird mindset of yours needs to go, and now look for yourself who your enemy is." Quinny openly showed who Raven really was, but without showing Nic's face.
First info:
He single-handedly slaughtered the biggest Mafia in the Western that had influence over many corrupt parts of other countries, RED DRAGON.
He managed to change the system in the Southern and revived a dead city.
Lastly, in the Eastern, some people saw Raven, but they weren't sure what he did there because he rarely appeared.
Quinny laughed. "What are you going to do after seeing this? Give up? Or still insist on fighting even after I've shown you the facts that your opponent is no joke?"
Viktor grew more irritated. He didn't know whether that info was real or fake, but right now he really couldn't think clearly anymore, especially when he got news that an attack was already happening, making him panic even more.
"STOP THEM NOW!" Viktor shouted at Quinny.
Quinny immediately left. Viktor thought she obeyed, but she actually left because she herself was shocked.
She had just searched about Raven, which was Nic, and realized how far he had already gone.
"Leona… the Nic you used to talk about as a funny and caring guy to his girlfriends, now his care goes far beyond that," Quinny said, confused but impressed.
---
Above, the Unity factions had arrived and caused chaos, making everyone panic. Armed soldiers immediately rushed in.
The rich people who used to watch cruelty from behind the scenes were now threatened to be inside that cruelty themselves, without being able to relax and just watch anymore.
But what shocked them, including Sergei, was seeing his predator faction wearing new uniforms, matching with the defense faction he knew.
"What So they're not dead yet… THEY'RE ONE FACTION NOW? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!" Sergei shouted in disbelief.
Then, BANG!!
His shoulder was shot by Seraphine with her new sniper.
Sergei screamed in pain, but nearby soldiers quickly evacuated him and stayed alert for sniper attacks.
Those elite rich people were furious seeing the predator faction they used to pay now becoming their threat.
"HAHAHA THIS IS WAY MORE FUN ATTACKING THIS SIDE, WE SHOULD'VE JUST ATTACKED FROM THE START!!" Cold Orca shouted while slaughtering the soldiers.
The Unity faction only slaughtered the soldiers and injured people who looked like part of the underground circle.
"You already know you're in danger but still late to hide, arrogant idiots," Veyra said while stabbing one of the rich people.
"DAMN IT, THEY'RE REALLY A BUNCH OF BASTARDS, HOW DARE THEY!!" shouted people inside Frostveil Sanctum.
They were too focused on watching the chaos outside that they forgot they were the most threatened ones.
Suddenly, a massive impact appeared and created a hole right in the middle of Frostveil Sanctum.
King Raven appeared and stretched his muscles. "Let's play. Anyone who survives one punch from me gets to live."
"What!?" They were shocked and immediately panicked.
Viktor, who was in his room, kept trying to contact Quinny, who wasn't visible either outside or underground.
"DAMN WOMAN! WHERE IS SHE NOW!?" Viktor slammed the table.
He immediately tried to secure his documents and data so they wouldn't be stolen, but when he stepped outside—
BAM!!!
A person was thrown against the wall right next to him and instantly passed out with a battered face.
"Oh, he's here," Galea said while pointing at Viktor.
"L-Lady Golden Eagle!??" Viktor panicked even more, and as usual—
Corrupt leaders who couldn't do anything anymore immediately begged for mercy and pretended to be good, but Galea, seeing Viktor bow, stepped on his head and slammed it to the ground.
"Disgusting pig," Galea said.
Meanwhile, King Raven took all of Viktor's secret data and documents, but what he saw didn't include any data about the low caste.
"He didn't hide it here. Handle this side, I'll look for the other data," King Raven said and immediately left.
Galea waved casually and slaughtered everyone.
When Nic was about to search for the data, he realized someone was watching him. He stopped and looked toward a tall building above, where a woman was sitting. It was Quinny.
Nic approached her. "Quinny? Why are you here?"
"I was told to fight you," she said casually.
"Ah, I see. So before Leon called you, you were here?"
Quinny nodded. "But I'm lazy and already sure I won't win. It's better I help Leona's boyfriend find the evidence since I know everything."
"That's good… later I'll prepare a gift for Leona and the others, I'll leave it with you," Nic said with a laugh.
Quinny just nodded and immediately took Nic somewhere.
It was the small town Sergei had visited earlier. There, Sergei was still being protected by the military, constantly asking Eira about his future.
"WHY CAN'T YOU ANSWER??" Sergei shouted.
Eira looked weak. "I already said someone's future depends on themselves… it can change anytime."
Sergei, annoyed, was about to slap Eira, but in a split second, his head was slammed to the ground, gripped by King Raven.
The soldiers panicked because they didn't know where King Raven came from so suddenly.
As the soldiers were about to attack, Quinny stopped them and took them down quickly.
One of the soldiers was shocked. "Q-Quinny!? Aren't you on our side!?"
"You're stupid if you think that," Quinny said.
Meanwhile, Eira curled up in fear and begged not to be hurt. She was extremely afraid of pain, it was her biggest trauma.
Nic immediately felt bad. What would've happened if she had been slapped earlier?
Nic activated God of Happiness on Eira so she wouldn't be afraid and would feel cheerful, then activated God of Dictator on Sergei so he would confess where the secret low-caste data was.
And Sergei knew, because he was the one who stored it in Eira's house, a place no one would ever suspect.
Nic approached Eira. "Excuse me, can I go into your house to look for some important data?"
Eira, now cheerful, looked a bit confused. "Um, sure… but don't mess things up, okay?"
Quinny couldn't believe it either. Eira had been terrified just moments ago, and now she was suddenly normal.
Without wasting time, Nic immediately searched for the data and found it. There was a lot of it.
"Zeta…"
[ Yes? Does Master Nic need me now? ]
"You can appear like usual again… it's kinda boring without you, Zeta," Nic said with a laugh.
[ Whatever ]
After packing all the data, Nic came out and told Quinny to bring Eira.
Northern's condition was in total chaos. Every city was filled with piles of unconscious soldiers. Frostveil Sanctum had been completely wiped out by Galea… even Viktor was dragged up by her.
Everyone gathered in the center of the city, and King Raven appeared.
He gave Viktor energy so he could wake up and listen.
"I've found all the data. Should I spread it? Your country will instantly be seen as bad, and no tourists will ever come here again," King Raven said.
Viktor froze, not knowing what to do. "P-please don't spread that…"
"You know there are conditions, right? Simple. I'll burn this data, but that will also burn the caste system here… there will be no more caste in Northern, and all of you will be equal." King Raven held Viktor's head.
"Simple and easy, right? But it seems hard if you're still the one leading… you have to step down and find a new leader for Northern. I'm not a threat, but a change to unite you. You bastard will never understand the feelings of those who were cast aside… so, will you step down now?"
King Raven's gaze was sharp and full of intimidation. Viktor couldn't do anything anymore, especially since Quinny was on King Raven's side. In the end, he officially stepped down and would be replaced by a neutral leader.
He also announced that there was no more caste system, and everyone could live on the same land, and the area they used to live in would be destroyed.
"No, no… don't destroy it. That area will stay and just be connected. I'll fix it to be better and livable… as for the snowstorm, I'll handle that," King Raven said.
Fang and the others, who were originally preparing to say goodbye to their old place full of memories because they thought they would move here, were shocked. Instead of relocating, they would stay, but with a much better and proper condition, like the high caste area.
Bunny approached King Raven. "Y-you're serious…? How are you going to fix our place there?"
Before Nic could answer, Galea approached. "You don't need to ask how he does it. You just need to enjoy the results of this absurd anomaly's actions."
Bunny was confused by what Galea meant by calling Nic an absurd anomaly.
King Raven placed his hand on Bunny's head. "The point is, now you can live peacefully and happily…"
"Just like that… sob" Bunny cried covered her face.
All the Unity factions approached and hugged each other.
From afar, Quinny watched while holding Eira's hand. "He always does things this big… I don't understand how his mind works, but he really is a good person."
To be continued...
