"So what did he say?"

  They weren't in the throne room for once. It felt nice speaking without the intense aura of that place. All the Primes were in a simple cavern room, a stone lounge, relaxing. Well, at least most of them were. Horoguramu, Nika and Vera looked stressed.

  "He said we need to start making a move on destroying humanity. Nexus is a significant threat now, so we need to destroy it. If their Outer Ranks can bring down one of us, they've grown far too strong."

  Horoguramu was speaking, and his arms were folded. Next to him was Nika, who was sitting straight up for once. Vera was also wide awake instead of lying down. It had been a couple of weeks since Sekara's death, and she hadn't slept once since then.

  Sabitsu was absent, as always. Who knows what he was doing? Probably staring at some bird. Surprisingly, Yotun and Akiretsu were present. They normally spent their free time terrorising towns or something.

  Yotun was Deviant Prime 5, and he had a terrifying stature. His red hair flowed like magma, and his body looked molten. He was like a walking volcano.

  Akiretsu was Deviant Prime 6, and he wasn't any less terrifying. He looked like an ancient soldier with the armour he wore. Instead of horns, he had a protrusion on his head mimicking a feather. And over his mouth was what looked like a natural mask, and it distorted his voice.

  Neither of them were saying much. They just wanted to know what Muryoko had said.

  As for himself, Jinaida, he just wanted to know if he'd got his promotion. He deserved that, right? Especially now that Sekara was dead. He prompted the question towards Horoguramu, who looked at him in disgust.

  "That is not the takeaway from this situation. You're selfish and greedy."

  "OK, but did you ask him?"

  "...yes. Yes I did. He said we won't need another Deviant Prime 7. He said we won't ever need another Prime again. I think he's serious about taking them down now."

  There was an eerie silence. Jinaida only really acknowledged that he hadn't been promoted. And that frustrated him.

  "How are the crystals coming along?" Yotun asked. His voice was powerful and booming.

  "They're almost ready to be forged. We should only do this process once, though. It's too dangerous. We need to gather the rest of the crystals before we begin." Nika answered. Yotun nodded.

  "Sekara would want us to take revenge for her." Vera's voice was more motivated than Jinaida had ever heard before, "We'll follow Master Muryoko's plan. We'll destroy them all."
