I.. Am God?

"Unfortunately, that is the case." Andre nodded. "That\'s why I am ordering everyone to cleanse your forces. I am expecting that, by next year, everything is cleaned up." Andre added.

"I am also declaring an immediate cleansing of the Hidden World Organizations\' forces in Egypt and its neighbouring countries. I want only the Ouroboros Foundation\'s forces to exist within its perimeters."

"President! That spells war between us and the forces of the Underworld and the Pendragon Circle!" The bald man exclaimed.

"We cannot do anything else. Egypt must be defended and its secrets must be protected. Those beings that are sealed inside that country must not be touched by any other organizations lest they accidentally or intentionally undo the seals." Andre stated with solemness.

"..has the seal been that fragile already?" Cris asked with worry.

Andre nodded, "I have already talked with someone who knows the things regarding them. Even the other powerful beings could only wait nervously once the seal is broken." He replied with a sigh.

"And on the bright side, I don\'t think the Pendragon Circle would be angry that much." Andre added, "The Pendragon\'s Circle only concerns the leaders of the government. Their only goal is to control every single mortal government so that they could expand easily and have abundant resources."

"With that in mind, occupying Egypt shouldn\'t be too hard."

"Me, what about me?" The sharp-toothed man inquired with anticipation. "Don\'t even think of getting more, Haron. You already have enough mess to tend to, with the Seas to be concerned about. Just inspect your forces and do a cleanup." Andre replied, which made Haron pout.

"Is there anything else you want to tell us, President?" Cris questioned.

"Watch the Society\'s moves and report it to me once they do something suspicious. Once they stick their noses in any of our highly classified sites, immediately arrest them. If they resist, kill them." Andre commanded.

"Are we really going to fully go against them to the point of elimination?" The bald man asked, "Can\'t we just defeat them and then integrate them into our ranks? It would strengthen our power level among the Hidden World Organizations and we would also be able to compete against the Illuminati." He added

"No, Sage." Andre suddenly turned more solemn, "Even if we gather all of the Hidden World Organizations, we wouldn\'t be able to go against The Illuminati. Although I hate it so much, I cannot do anything about it."

"You evaluate the Illuminati that much?" Sage gawked.

"Yes, I do." Andre nodded, "Although The Illuminati only has a few men not going past a hundred, they are still the most powerful organization in Gaius. Even gods literally wouldn\'t be able to win against them. They\'re just that powerful."

"Unfortunately, that is the case." Cris sighed, "If the Ouroboros Foundation wasn\'t created, the President, I, and maybe Gobb would definitely be a part of The Illuminati and no one else from the Foundation would have the needed capabilities to be one."

"Their requirements are that high?" Gian gasped. "You categorized Director Gobb together with you two. Is he near your level already?" He asked with curiosity.

"Not at our level, but he passed the requirements." Cris replied while looking at the long-haired man, "He had acquired the Rings of Omnicius later in his life. He has a huge potential with using the rings, a very talented man in the arts of manipulation."

Gobb smiled and accepted the compliment, "Although I can\'t defeat the Grand Director and The President, I can still restrain a lot of beings with these partners of mine that I inherited from my ancestor."

"With enough knowledge, talent, training, and skill regarding that item, I believe he himself could even restrain a being that transcends gods for a long time if he wanted to." Andre stated with confidence.

"But don\'t let your head grow big just because of our compliments, Gobb." Andre warned. "You\'re not even half as powerful to do that kind of thing. At most, you can restrain angelic or demonic lifeforms with those rings."

"I know that, President." Gobb nodded, "I still want my knowledge to broaden, to train together with these partners of mine." He said while caressing the rings.

"Anyways, I shan\'t hold you all any longer." Andre suddenly stated. "If you already need to leave, you can go. I shall stay here for two days longer."

With that, the Directors bowed towards him and left one after another, with Cris being left together with Andre inside.

"Andre, you still haven\'t solved where The Illuminati originated from or who is its leader?" Cris asked after a while.

Andre shook his head and replied, "The Illuminati is a very secretive organisation, even more so than us. Empress Everfree, one of the members of the organisation that I met before, has absolute authority over the woodlands, greeneries, and anything that concerns plant life. When I had the chance to spar with her, I almost lost if I hadn\'t utilized my Will to restrain her. After that, the Illuminati became even more cautious, especially towards us." Andre sighed, "If I only had a way to enter, I would\'ve done so."

Cris clicked his tongue with bitterness "Although we have no problems with the Illuminati because of their neutrality with regards to the other organizations, they are still a very secretive group, and we don\'t know what or when they might make a move. Their ranks are incredibly powerful, to the point of them having the ability to take over the entire world if they wanted to. That\'s why they\'re still a threat."

"I know that myself, Cris." Andre sighed, "But for now, we\'ll do nothing regarding them, especially when the world is already on the brink of chaos."

"Let\'s not talk about these tense matters too much." Cris suddenly changed the topic as he leaned towards Andre with an amused grin, "I just remembered something."

"What is it?" Andre leaned away and glanced at him. "Have you already opened an account on Twitter?" Cris grinned widely.

"..." What the hell? Andre thought to himself.

Cris returned to his seat and gawked while looking at him, "Don\'t tell me you still hadn\'t opened one?" He gasped.

"I should be concerned about you. I\'m cringing while looking at an 80-year old grandpa talking like he\'s a teen of this generation." Andre snapped with disgust, "Of course I hadn\'t opened one. With what I am seeing on the internet, everything there is just teenagers rambling and ranting about everything."

"Haiis, you should install it, right now! I\'m going to make an account for you!" Cris then jumped towards Andre, attempting to get his phone. Unfortunately, he was too slow for Andre as the latter shot his hand downward and covered his pocket. "No." He uttered.

"Then, I have no choice." Cris humphed and took out his own phone and opened his app.

He then seemed to search for something and clicked on an article after. "Here, just look at this." He said as he handed over the phone to Andre.

"What is this about?" Andre ran his eyes to read the article. Suddenly, his eyes revealed a look of interest as he re-read the entire article once more. And more. And more.

"Do you know him?" Cris smirked while waiting for him to finish reading.

"Isn\'t this Calcifer, the boy that I met before?" Andre blurted out.

"Yes, you\'re right." The old man nodded, "He\'s facing something problematic right now regarding his relationship with a girl, a rich one."

"You know that he\'s just a normal person that has a normal life right?" Cris added, "Except for his talent in music, he\'s but a normal man who can barely afford what he wants. But, he unfortunately loved a rich heiress."

"When the father of the girl received the news, he immediately sent the girl to the States to separate the two. He wanted to fight, but he cannot do so."

"It\'s been two years already, and the matter popped up again. Calcifer wants to get her back from her father by showing the entire world how strong his love for the girl, Madison, is." Cris then laughed out loud while saying, "Isn\'t this matter intriguing? It\'s like a drama. Don\'t you agree?"

Andre narrowed his eyes while reading another article about them, "Why hasn\'t he talked to me about this? I told him before to inform me if he ever needed anything."

"And also.." Andre turned to Cris and said, "Calcifer isn\'t just good at music, he\'s somewhat of a genius himself in regards to investment, business, and stocks. If he has enough capital, he can create a company if he wants. With a little bit of effort, he can combat a conglomerate if he developed a company of his own. With that, he could easily get back his lover."

After thinking for a while, Andre whipped out his phone and quickly installed Twitter, which made Cris grin again. After a few knicks and knacks and other processes, he finally created an account of his.
