Nameless King

"Your strength never ceases to amaze me." Said Gisle looking at the icy debris behind Wain.

Wain shrugged, "These monsters are weak, but that\'s from my subjective point of view. I\'m sure the small monsters and these minotaurs have already killed millions of people worldwide. Because of the emergence of that white ray, there has been a multiplication of problems in the world."

"Yeah, given the power of those monsters, it will take most people a couple of weeks to rebuild their bases and recover. For about a month, 99% of the world will regain its former power. In other words, we\'ll stagnate for a month, while the monsters will evolve and get stronger." Pronounced Gisle.

As the leader of an already rather large organization, he understood the consequences of such a massive monster invasion. Even Last Light would have to spend some time rebuilding side bases, healing people, and so on.

"Not a bad analysis. But, this month will be a golden time for singles like me to grow. We\'ll be getting stronger on par with the monsters, while organizations will be rebuilding." Proclaimed Wain and at that moment, the massive corpse of a minotaur that someone had chopped off its head fell beside him.

"I agree. Perhaps I should consider sending the strongest members of the organization away for a month. At this point, everyone will be trying to avoid conflict and war, which means it makes no sense to keep strong people like Zero, Agnes, Teresa, and Grut around." Pronounced Gisle.

"I think so too. Right now, their strength isn\'t needed by the organization, but that will change dramatically in a month. By then, the monsters will be much stronger, and people will be fighting amongst themselves more actively." Proclaimed Wain pulling out a pack of cigarettes from under his cloak.

"Hmm, considering that Elsa, because of my order, can\'t intentionally commit actions that will harm the organization, then I can start evolving. After me, Elsa can begin evolving. That would be the solution to most problems." Gisle muttered.

He looked to the west and south and said, "However, the takeover of the city looks like it will have to be postponed until later."

Wain shook his head, "I don\'t think so. I might attack some organization on the west and south side of the city, but I\'m not sure about that yet. I need to check with my plan. I\'ve got a lot more things to do not related to the organization\'s development. But, I\'m sure Luar will fight the strongest people in Overion, excluding Last Light."

"You said he\'s no longer interested in being the head of Black Pearl\'s. But, then, what does he plan to do?"

Wain smiled, "Traveling and fighting every strong enemy he meets along the way. He\'s kind of like me in that."

"Fine." Said Gisle looking at the twenty dead minotaurs behind them.

While he and Wain were talking, the members of Last Light had killed all the monsters. The main threat had been destroyed, and Gisle was left with only one target. He was to officially take control of the entire north.

Black Pearl no longer had a leader because of Luar\'s decision, so it wouldn\'t be hard to do.

Gisle handed out instructions, and a group of a dozen men headed for Black Paerl\'s main base.

Wain joined them as he needed to regain his strength and heal his wounds during the battle with Luar. It wouldn\'t take very long, and Wain also wanted to see how the capture of the leading organization in the north of the city would go.

...

They saw ruined stone walls and slightly damaged buildings when they reached Black Pearl\'s main base. Since Wain had taken most of the monsters behind him, the main base sustained only minor damage.

This area would be ready for use after a bit of cleaning and repair work. When Wain took the monsters away, he didn\'t think about it, but his actions had another nice bonus besides thousands of souls.

Of course, when Gisle\'s group came to capture Black Pearl\'s main base, they met with some resistance. Even though Luar was gone, there were still some pretty strong people in the organization besides him.

They didn\'t understand where their leader had gone, but they had no intention of submitting to anyone or handing over their territories. On the contrary, when they realized that Luar was gone, they had the idea of taking power in their heads.

Whoever was strongest would be the head of the powerful organization in the north of Overion. They thought they could easily take on Gisle\'s team, but they were sorely mistaken.

The Black Pearl\'s members did not know that Gisle and the others came from the eastern part of Overion, so they underestimated them.

Wain was not involved in suppressing enemy forces. He was not interested in doing so. At that point, he was the spectator\'s role, not a protagonist. Wain was simply watching his allies fight.

It was also at this time that he was assessing their strength. He was surprised at how strong Teresa and Agnes had become.

\'When I first met Teresa, I thought she was pretty weak. When we went down to the underground laboratory, she didn\'t have the speed to even react to my grasp. However, after a while, her strength increased manifold. Maybe her Main Soul is actually pretty bad?\'\' Thought Wain.

Different people had different souls. Some had a scarce and powerful one, but some might have a rather ordinary or useless soul. In this world, as in others, luck played a significant role.

There was no justice or equality in this world. However, that did not mean that such people\'s fates were sealed.

They could become stronger by increasing their level, finding rare items, and gaining exceptional skills. Also, after evolution, most main souls would be strengthened.

When Wain evolved, his main soul did not change much, but his Nameless King\'s Forms skill was strengthened to fit his Chronicle.

Teresa hadn\'t evolved yet, but Wain speculated that she might have destroyed her main soul. He didn\'t know much about the process, his knowledge of it was rather limited.

However, he did know one straightforward principle. The stronger the soul and the higher its Rating, the more serious the consequences after destroying the main soul.

Wain had no information about the consequences of destroying an Epic Rating soul or a rarer soul. But he had heard of one case where a person deleted his Rare Rating main soul.

It was a huge mistake, as his body could hardly take the strain. Most of his muscles and tendons were torn, his organs were damaged, and severe damage to his mental state.

Of course, a person survived and was able to heal his wounds over time. But, this situation was a warning to all whose main soul was Epic Rating or higher.

Wain was sure that if he tried to destroy his main soul, not even one atom would be left of his body. The payoff for such an act would be more terrible than the gods\' punishment.

\'Power is commensurate with the magnitude of possible loss...\' thought Wain watching the battle before him.

Agnes and Grut had also grown much stronger, but Grut was not a big fan of fighting, unlike the girls. He preferred to solve everything peacefully and even in dangerous situations, more often defended than attacked.

Nevertheless, Grut was very strong. Wain assumed that Grut had a soul with a high Rating, which helped him a lot.

Agnes didn\'t have any new and surprising abilities, but her strength increased every day. Her fists were like massive hammers, capable of piercing even steel.

She was clearly representative of people who specialized in hand-to-hand combat.

But, among all of them, Zero was the most amazing.

\'In the future, she\'s going to be really powerful. It\'s not surprising, though. She combines the powers of a mutant and Ascendant Rating Soul.

Previously she had suffered, but in return, she received incredible strength. In some ways, she was even lucky enough to be a test subject in those experiments.\' Wain thought.

Of course, he understood that no human being would want to be a lab rat. But, he was looking at the current situation, not what happened a long time ago.

Also, Zero had an incredibly rare soul. In Wain\'s past world, only a few people in each country had the good fortune to receive such a strong soul.

Of course, this world was much larger, but the percentage of getting a soul of that Rating was about the same.

Whooosh.

A sharp blade of darkness appeared in Zero\'s hands, and she beheaded one man. This scene horrified the others, for she killed one of Black Pearl\'s strongest members.

Zero was like a dark demon from hell. She was ruthless, and her eyes were icy. People watching her knew that she could easily kill ten or even a hundred people if necessary.

Thus, in about half an hour, Gisle became the owner of the northern part of the city. The members of Last Light had to kill ten powerful members of Black Pearl to achieve this goal.

Gisle was unhappy that these people had to die because if they had obeyed him immediately, they would have contributed significantly to the organization in the future.

Everyone needed strong people, but loyalty and overlapping ideologies were more important.

Gisle was ready to kill all the strong members of Black Pearl\'s if they would not agree to obey.

When it was over, Gisle began to hand out orders and learn about the current state of affairs in the north and east. At that moment, Wain pondered the soul necessary to unlock the third form.
