Chapter 292 The Covenant

It was clear that something important would be announced, something that could very well change the political landscape of the entire Material Plane of the Cosmos.

"Contact the Nesser Dynasty and present the proposition for the joint war against the Magisterium and also contact the Scientia Hierarchy and present them the same invitation..."

Hearing the Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath, the Lord General Inquisitor\'s eyes shined because he understood the implication behind mentioning the Scientia Hierarchy. 

When they attacked the Magisterium, it would be an all-out war between the several factions of the 13 Gates that may very well end with some of them falling from the list of the 13 Gates. 

The Guild and Vaultbank were true neutral factions that would never care about what was taking place in the Cosmos and would not intervene in anything. The same could go for the Asutra Tribe, Pale Congregation, and The Nexus, who won\'t care about things that don\'t concern them.

The only problematic ones and the ones that were unknown were the Avalon Kingdom, Calamity Church, and Germinal Order and their stance on the matter.

But the Hall Master of the Hall of Kadath knew that due to the losses of the Most Holy Paladin Order of the Silver Crusade of Divine Light, they wouldn\'t intervene. 

The Calamity Church itself was in a precarious position, as during the past years, they suffered some losses against the Hall of Kadath due to their competition for the souls, so they would stand at bay.

Gemrinal Order would probably try to fish for gain, and it was accounted for that they would probably attack the Magisterium once their faction was weakened enough.

From the list of the 13 Gates, it only left the Underdark, but everyone present knew that due to the situation, they wouldn\'t be making a move against the Nesser Dynasty.

If they did and attacked the Nesser Dynasty on a larger scale, using this as an opportunity to strike at them.

At the same time, if during the time, the Nesser Dynasty was distracted with the war against the Magisterium was attacked by the Underdark, then it was sure that the Hall of Kadath would attack the Underdark.

And that would be something that the Underdark won\'t be able to survive.

"Per your order, it shall be done."

Lord General Inquisitor Ardyn Tiberrius bowed to the Hall Master.

"Also... leak some of the confidential information about the holds of the Magisterium that we have to the Chromatic Dragon Faction and Metallic Dragon Faction... we could cause them great damage through this way without lifting a finger."

While it didn\'t seem like that, but the Chromatic Dragons and their Chromatic Dragon Cult and Metallic Dragons and their Metallic Dragon Cult had a great deal of hatred against the Magisterium for various reasons.

One of the most notable ones was that many people of the Magisterium were using the dragons as a source of their Bloodlines, especially the Sorcerers who were using the Dragon Bloodlines as their own...

"It would create a mess... once the Dragons join the conflicts, it may even result in the Chromatic Dragon Faction and Metallic Dragon Faction entering the truce to attack the Magisterium..."

Magisterium was far more powerful than most of the people knew; even among the 13 Gates, it was the strongest one right afterward; the Hall of Kadath, The Guild and Vaultbank that were the strongest mortal factions. 

Aside from the factions like the Black Emporium, if it could even be called a faction that were considered irregularities, then the Magisterium was the strongest mortal faction.

They had a lot of Holies hiding in the shadows, and practically even to the other Gates of the 13 Gates, their exact strength was pretty much unknown.

"I don\'t care... I aim to cripple the Magisterium as much as possible. While I know that as long as their Majin are alive, we won\'t be able to eradicate them entirely, but we can cripple them for entire Epochs to come."

Hall Master Menuhyutt Faulhaber said coldly as everyone suddenly found it very hard to breathe even a bit due to the overwhelming pressure that was being released from the body of the Hall Master. 

"The Magisterium has breached the unspoken rules, and in truth, they are a threat to the supremacy of the Hall over the Material Plane of the Cosmos, with their development of the Anti-Void and Anti-Eldrtich weapons and Magic. The Scientia Hierarchy views their research into the Magitek as a threat to their own existence, and their practice of stealing the Bloodlines of other species to boost their own is a threat to the existence of the Covenant..."

The Hall Master then made a slight pause as the Lord General Inquisitor shook a bit when he heard the words that were being spoken before he quickly recomposed.

"You should know very well that the Covenant is the thing that brought the Humans down, and we should do everything in our power to see it\'s being preserved."

Sicne ancient times, all the factions since the fall of the Last Human King adhered to the sacred creeds of the Covenant. 

The Covenant was something that was respected by even the mightiest of the Transcendents, and everyone wanted to see the Covenant behind respected and applied at all costs.

"Humanity... such adaptability and so much talent... what the Magisterium is doing could resolve some of the Absolutes that were imposed on their species to cripple them for eternity, even if for part... and for that, the Magisterium must be wiped out."

The Lord General Inquisitor raised his brow hearing that.

"Won\'t their own Transcendents do something about that?"

The Magisterium produced a lot of Majin, as they were called, basically the Magic Gods that grasped the Magic Rules and uncovered the deepest mysteries of the Arcane itself.

"No, they won\'t... I already got a dream from the Great Dreamer, saying that the problematic ones among them were already taken care of, and the rest agreed that as long as Magisterium survived as a faction, it doesn\'t matter how much of them remained. They would be confined to their High World and would be forbidden to leave for the next Era, as their crimes against the Covenant."

The Hall Master explained that because not many knew that his move against the Magisterium was something that was blessed by several Transcendent Factions of the Cosmos.

It was passed at the latest meeting of the High Council of Cosmos.

It seemed that it was inevitable.
