Unknown Deity Reporting
Robert, feeling the weight of his bandaged leg, steadily climbed the entrance stairs to the towering building, his heart thumping in his chest with anticipation.After arriving at the reception desk, he encountered a curious woman who seemed to gaze intently at his injured leg.Attempting to clear his throat and gather his thoughts, he whispered to the woman in a low and cautious voice,"Excuse me, ma'am. I need to report something."The woman's expression remained neutral and unreadable as she replied,"What is it that you need to report?"Robert hesitated, uncertain about how much he should reveal.He couldn't shake the memory of the homeless people he had witnessed earlier and the nuns who appeared to be manipulating them.

Unknown Deity The Start of the Big Mission
Robert, having completed his meeting with the commander, departed from the exalted officer's office, his mind consumed with a litany of lingering uncertainties. The commander's name remained a mystery to him, as it had not been uttered nor relayed by anyone else. He also remained ignorant of the commander's power and abilities, having received no knowledge of them whatsoever. In essence, he knew nothing about the commander. He remained a fledgling member of the Order, still inexperienced and unaware of many of the arcane intricacies that permeated the organization. He was entirely ignorant of the mysterious ways in which the Order employed or secured the arcane artifacts, as well as the enigmatic paths available for the cultivation of an ascendant. His education in these matters had been largely relegated to an on-the-job training regimen, and he anticipated that he would absorb further knowledge only upon the successful completion of his present mission. Eager to embark upon hi
Unknown Deity Skirmish
As John and Robert stepped into the narrow and filthy alleyways of the poor side of town, the overwhelming stench of garbage and waste hit them like a wave.The ground was slick with slime and trash, and the walls were covered in grime and visible cracks.The sight before them was a stark contrast to the clean, well-lit streets of the city center they were used to.Shadow, their ever-watchful companion, was perched atop a nearby rooftop, scanning the area for any potential threats.His sharp eyes were alert and his movements were precise as he searched for signs of danger.Suddenly, as they rounded a corner, they were confronted by a group of rough-looking men. Their faces were twisted into sneers, and their hands were gripping dangerous-looking weapons. John and Robert knew immediately that they were in trouble.The men had them surrounded, with three behind them and four in front.One of them, a burly man with a rough beard and a scar on his cheek, stepped forward and spoke in a gru

The air crackled with tension as the masked man let out a chilling laugh, his voice deepening and distorting as his muscles bulged and swelled."Looks like I'm outnumbered," he growled menacingly."Let's see if you can survive." With a sudden lunge, he charged forward, his arms crossed in front of him like a battering ram.Robert and John reacted quickly, pulling out their revolvers and firing with deadly accuracy.But to their shock, the bullets just ricocheted harmlessly off the masked man's body, as if he was made of some kind of metal."What the hell?!" Robert exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief."Keep shooting!" John shouted, his voice laced with a mix of fear and determination.But the masked man seemed almost impervious to their attacks, shrugging off each bullet as if it was nothing.With a sudden burst of speed, he closed the distance between them, his fists hammering down towards their heads.Robert and John leapt backwards, narrowly avoiding the deadly blow.

The task before them was fraught with danger, and he knew they had to remain vigilant at all times.Robert, too, was feeling the weight of the situation, but he tried his best to remain calm and focused on the task at hand.After a few minutes of running, Robert turned to John and asked,"This should be far enough, righ

Her voice was as enchanting as the siren's song, and anyone who heard it was compelled to follow her instructions. John and Robert felt the pull to do what she said, but they knew better than to let his guard down. Robert channeled his power to his hand and revolver, ready to defend himself if needed. Without warning, John turned and shot towards the nun. One of the other nuns, quick as lightning, jumped in front of the black dressed nun, taking the bullet instead, it left the nun incapicated but not dead.

He keyed the mic and spoke in a hushed voice,"Anyone in? We are dealing with a high tier ascendant, and not a regular one. She's a chosen of a god, over."After a moment of static, Eugene's voice crackled through the speaker."Got it. You did good! Retreat to HQ. It's time to bring out the big guns. We need to remind the heretics what they can and what they can't do... and keep them out of the city, over and out."John's heart leapt with relief at the sound of Eugene's voice.He replied quickly,"Roger that. Over and out."With that, he and Robert sprinted towards headquarters, their legs pumping furiously as they ran.As they ran, John couldn't help but think about the terrifying p

We have the formula of the concoction for those three." she said.The doctor went on to explain the benefits of each path."Hunter enhances your vision, agility, and dexterity, making it great for focusing on combat and range weapon proficiency,""Artificer enhances your intelligence and your ability to analyze materials, making it easier for you to master the profession of artificer.

New Beginnings
The passage of time had healed some of the wounds inflicted by the heretics, but the scars remained, both in the physical destruction of the city and in the emotional trauma of those who had witnessed the battle.Despite this, life had gone on in Nodnol, as it always does. The Order had vanished from the city, leaving behind a void that was slowly being filled by other factions vying for power.The city's skyline had changed dramatically in the year since the battle. Tall, imposing structures now loomed over the city, casting long shadows that stretched across the streets below.The bustling sounds of industry and commerce could be heard everywhere, as the factories churned out their products and the markets overflowed with goods from all over the world.Despite the changes, some things remained the same.

With precision, Kline grabbed anything he could find to use as makeshift bandages and medicine.He assessed John and Robert's injuries carefully, knowing that every second counted.He was no healer, but he knew the basics of first aid and how to keep a wound clean.Robert's injury was the most severe, and Kline knew that if they didn't act fast, it could get infected and turn into something far worse.He quickly applied pressure to the wound and did his best to remove any ice shards that were still embedded in Robert's face.Meanwhile, John's leg wound was stabilized, but Kline knew that they needed to find a place to rest and recover before they could even think of escaping."John, you know our situation," Kline said, looking at him seriously."We won't be able to escape as we are now. We need to lay low in one of the destroyed buildings until we recover some energy for escaping. We'll grab Robert and hope his situation doesn't worsen."John nodded in agreement, his face grim.

Aftermath
In the aftermath of the devastating battle, The Order's soldiers were on high alert.It didn't take long for the BlackHand to make their presence known, as they began to group together, seemingly with the intention to convert, kill, or imprison any remaining members of The Order.Two men dressed in black coats, adorned with black breastplates bearing the emblem of an open black hand, approached Kline, Robert, and John."We suggest you lay down your weapons and surrender peacefully," one of the men stated, in a calm and collected tone.Kline's eyes narrowed, his grip on his own weapon tightening."It appears that even amidst this chaos, the BlackHand continues to hound us like a pack of rabid dogs," he spat back.The other man stepped forward, his hand hovering over the hilt of his two swords."I suggest you watch your tongue, boy," he growled.

Marduk vs Crone
The two gods were evenly matched, and their attacks and counters were so swift that it was difficult to keep track of them. Marduk continued to summon spears of light, while Crone unleashed her tentacles and shadow blades in quick succession. The air was thick with the sound of clashing weapons and explosive energy. As the fight continued, Marduk was becoming increasingly fatigued, and his attacks were starting to become weaker. Crone, on the other hand, seemed to be gaining strength with each passing moment. If Marduk didn't finish this soon, he would be in serious trouble. Marduk seemed to sense this as well, and he suddenly changed his tactics. Instead of summoning more spears of light, he began to focus his energy into a single, massive blast. The air crackled with energy as Marduk gathered his power, and Crone watched him warily. With a sudden burst of speed, Crone launched herself at Marduk, her tentacles and shadow blades striking out with deadly precision. Marduk dodge

All seemed like it was over, but out of nowhere a strange and ominous energy filled the air, causing a sudden stillness to descend upon the area. The world around them seemed to blur and fade away, leaving only a swirling mass of blood that coalesced into a pulsating sphere. The pressure emanating from the sphere was so immense that time itself seemed to stop, freezing everyone and everything in place. Not even a breath could be taken, nor a movement made, as they were trapped in this suspended state. It was as if the very fabric of reality had collapsed in on itself, leaving them stranded in an endless void. The sudden halt of time seemed to suffocate everyone. It was as if the universe itself had come to a standstill, with no movement or sound to indicate any sign of life. The once chaotic battlefield was now eerily silent, as if death had taken hold of everything in its grasp. The air was thick with anticipation and fear, as each passing moment felt like an eternity.

The Mother's Chosen Appears
As the battle raged on, the once-beautiful city of Nodnol was now unrecognizable.The smell of smoke and death filled the air, and the once-bustling streets were now eerily quiet, except for the sounds of battle in the distance.The Blackhand soldiers were doing their utmost to protect the innocent civilians and prevent the destruction from spreading to other areas of the city.In one district, the fighting was particularly intense, with explosions and gunfire shaking the ground. Buildings were reduced to rubble, and corpses littered the streets.The cries of the wounded and dying echoed throughout the district, a haunting melody of pain and suffering.But in another district, the scene was completely different. Children played in the streets, laughing and chasing each other.The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the only sounds were the chirping of birds and the gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the trees.
