But no blow came. Eskart could have destroyed the fleet with a snap of his fingers, or by waving his hand. Instead, he chose to erect a great barrier over all of Belkinsire.
[ESKART] "Do not ever set foot here again, Sarakha. From now on, I will deny the Trinity the right to learn magic. I hereby proclaim embargo upon travel to and from Shengesia and Yongesia."
[SARAKHA] "You would deny not me, but all Shengesians the right to learn magic, which the Illuminati's existence is solely for."
[ESKART] "And when Shengesian students do come to learn magic, the Trinity conscripts them by force into the Wei. Do not think I have never taken notice of the sorcerers of Wuxing your autocratic empire makes use of."
[SARAKHA] "..."
[ESKART] "There will come an age when magic is spread from Belkinsire hands again, and this embargo shall end. And that will be the age in which your tyrannical rule is no more."
[SARAKHA] "Then your embargo will never end, Eskart. I cannot be dethroned. My divine rule and providence cannot be unseated, nor can the Sun's. Try it as you wish, but if all gods below threw up unbreakable ropes over my shoulders from the ground of Hainei and pulled all together, all at once, united in strength to rip me down from the Tower of the Gods, I would not move even an INCH! And see that it is, the merest tug back would lift you all from the ground, and stagger your postures. Humiliation, that is the only reward for opposing me. In tired waning, you'll experience my omnipotence. You are all of you, insects."
[SARAKHA] "But it is never too late for even an insect to join the one true pantheon of Hainei. Come home, Eskart, come home while you still can. My mercy is not unlimited as the Emperor's, but it is not short."
The glorious vision of Sarakha above faded, the hologram dispersing into the clouds. The barrier was invisible, but it covered Belkinsire whole. Eskart had faced Hainei's strongest god, and fearlessly he confronted him.
I was proud of him.
[ESKART] "We're done here." He said to us as he came walking by. "This day is finally at its end, and I am relieved. But we still have much work to do my friends. Let us rally to it."
'We're right behind you, Eskart.'
[ESKART] "Thank you. And if any of us should fall... I'll be there to catch you."
Leaving the beachhead, we returned to Belkinsire to placate the public. The Psyops and Illuminati were now allies. My mission was complete.
