” Usually i would never allow a weakling like you to become my pope , but these are desperate times and my glory is not as magnificent as it once was.
Say mortal , are you willing to serve me by becoming the pope of my religion? “. Hades asked Rudra with anticipation as he elaborated his offer.
” You cannot be a mortal while you become the pope , no , you would need to ascend to tier 4 first. There I will give present you the chance to become the pope of my relegion and a carrier of my divine might.
Your task will be to remind the world of the glory of God Hades , the rightful ruler of the underworld , as you shall have the right to recruit followers into the relegion as you deem fit.
As my representative on middle earth , you shall wield absolute authority and bow before no-one.
Accept and i shall grant you a fraction of my power , change your primary class from mana knight to the lost mythic class ‘ Death Knight ‘ , providing you the power to wield death!
Ofcourse it will change your entire existance , and all the class specific skills and moveset you have accumulated uptill now , it will be a rebirth , however you will undoubtedly come out incomparably stronger.
What do you say , Shakuni Won Knight? , Do you want to be a mere knight of the empire or do you want to become a myth ? “.
Rudra was too stunned to speak for a minute , Hades’s offer was extremely exciting , as with his offer came the chance to sieze the lost mythic class! A class that nobody else had.
Just the difficulty of getting a legendary class in Omega was exceptionally high , having to get a SSS ascension rating in every single promotion test , however now he had the chance to get a mythic class , a step even beyond the legendary class , and he was willing to get it.
Cautiously Rudra asked ” Why me? “.
But Hades just waved it off with a sigh as he said ” Who else is left there for me? , Hahaha , if you have not noticed yet , my religion is dead ,and without Thousands of worshippers i can never accumulate enough power to escape the poison that affects my real body .
It is fate that brought us together , and i am willing to beleive that a man like you who has such a glorious past of incredible achievements and a foundation soo sturdy it can even beat tier 4 warriors in terms of overall quality , can maybe pull off this miracle to bring the church of death back to its former glory “.
Rudra sighed as he realized that once he accepted this offer , he would need to make the church a part of his goals in Omega and he could just not focus on just the Elites anymore.
However he also understood that as a king and a public influencer , he was in a position where he could easily make the church of death the national religion and make countless churches to jumpstart the campaign.
However doing so , he would definitely loose his support from the church of light.
Although the god of death and the Goddess of light had no beef between them and the two were on amiable terms , Rudra could analyze that the pope won’t be to happy with loosing so many devout followers.
In the pursuit of personal power Rudra did not want to compromise on his principal’s as a king and as a leader , as he made up his mind and said ” My apologies great God Hades , your offer is extremely appealing to me. However I am a king and a guild leader , if for personal gains i put them in cross – hairs of other forces then i am worse than Lucifer as a human.
The church of light will not be happy with me trying to spread the doctrine of death , and there maybe friction and retaliation.
I cannot accept your great power if i cannot deliver what you expect from me. So regretfully i would have to decline this offer “.
Hades raised an eyebrow to this response as in his entire lifetime he had never seen a mortal who did not succumb to personal desires and could keep a stable head over his shoulders.
” Admirable , you are indeed worthy of becoming my pope . Hypothetically assume if i have a chat with Beniogre and she agrees to let you set up and spread the doctrines of death , and say that worshipping me , your countrymen live longer lives , healthier lives while your soldiers gain a greater chance of complete recovery from life threatening injuries. Would you still reject my offer? “. Hades asked Rudra
The ball was in Rudra’s court now , as the temptation to accept the god’s offer increased by the second.

( Meanwhile the rest of the elites )
” YESSS , FINALLY ! ” Shouted Neatwit as his sword slashed through the body of a zombie warewolf!
Ever since Neatwit had came to the ancient ruins every single enemy that he had faced was more or less immune to physical attacks hence rendering his fighting skills useless. However now that he could wield his sword to injure enemies again , he went absolutely wild with ecstasy.
Not only Neatwit , but Karna and the others too who were unable to kill the vampires all let loose once the physical attacks started working again on the zombie warewolfs , as it the distinction between who was the rabid dogs and who were the calm humans blurred.
The zombies tried to bite the head off the Elites , while the elites tried to take down that same biting head in one fell sword stroke.
The three girls were left speechless seeing the boys run amok as every other second some or the other wareworlf lost its head.
” Say what time will the leader be back? He said 10 minutes , how long has it been? “. Karna asked Skyla who checked the time before replying.
” Anytime now “. Skyla told Karna as karna issued the most ridiculous command she had ever heard next.
” Alright boys , Rudra will be out anytime now , let’s wipe this out lest he hog all the exp , GO ELITES GO “. karna shouted , as he group responded to his mad energy burst as everyone started killing at max speed.
Apparently the fear of Rudra killing everyone himself was a great motivator for the crew who badly wanted to bridge the gap between themselves and his level once again.
