MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master
Chapter 705: A changed RudraAfter his parents died , Rudra 's approach in Omega changed significantly.
One of the best things that happened to him was that he was able to break free from the illusion of the demon's diary as it was no longer able to manipulate him.
He was sure that he did not want any personal gains from the diary, and honestly surrendered the books cover to Hades.
With him gifting the complete book to Hades , it was now possible for the god of death to start taking back of the demon race once more and land a huge blow to Lucifer.
Hades was incredibly impressed by Rudra who managed to bring the complete demons diary to him , as with this he finally felt like he had the chance to Lucifer down in a fair fight.
Using the demon's diary, Hades could create the demon kings who would be peak tier 5 existances who could aid him massively in the war effort with the future potential to reach even tier 6.
Currently , Lucifer had a few tier 5 underlings under him , however Hades had none. This was the biggest disadvantage that Hades would face in an all out war against Lucifer , as even if he was able to neutralize Lucifer himself , without his army capable of handling the tier 5 powerhouses it was impossible to win.
Although Rudra was an impressive fighter , he was still only nearing peak tier 4 and could maybe take on one tier 5 fighter in a one on one fight , but not more.
But with the demons diary, Hades finally not only had the chance to summon the demon kings, but also to slowly take back control of the demon race as a whole!
It was a device of incomprehensible value to the god of death, and having it once more in his hands gave him incredible boost of confidence.
For the umpteenth time this display of competence from Rudra moved his heart as his evaluation of the pope increased everyday.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTechnically he could place oversight on how Rudra ran his relegion, but with him growing it explosively and exponentially, Hades allowed his results to Trump the methods he used as he gave Rudra a blind eye for his antics.
Rudra too however changed his corrupt ways and started to govern the relegion as a righteous leader as he stopped exploiting the masses and started helping them.
This caused a chain reaction such that Rudra never would have imagined , as with more and more people joining him real life , even more people willingly followed him in Omega .
Everytime Rudra made an honest change in governance, like giving money to the poor followers of the relegion or genuinely sending forces from the church to help members in need, the image of the church improved amongst the masses.
Even more people voluntarily donated money and no matter how much Rudra spent , more just kept coming in alongside a massive influx of people.
Things became so ridiculous that somedays he gained 1.6 million followers a day , far exceeding his initial estimates as the small phenomenon in the start had now grown into a tsunami.
At this rate Rudra expected that he would hit the expected target a whole 3 months before the deadline he set for himself and may even get to nearly 140 million followers by the time it was to start the war.
Although focusing on all these regions , Rudra neglected his personal training , he felt much happier and content as his mental stability improved.
He finally felt stress free about the future as every single day at work became rewarding and meaningful with him helping someone or the other every single day.
Even his shorter training sessions became wayy more productive, as he felt that what usually took him 8 hours could be achieved in the short 2 hours that he trained now , as everytime he trained he came with a fresh mind and a peaceful heart to learn.
His good work did not go unnoticed at all , as everyone from his family to Ruby to the elites became more and more content with the new change in his temperament. While the commoners sang the songs of his praises.
He finally became the golden industry standard for success as while people respected him out of fear uptil this moment , now he started to gain genuine adoration and respect.
In this turmulous world where everyone only selfishly worked for themselves, Rudra was the only one who was working for the whole of humanity , and there were people who appreciated such mentality immensely.
Although he did not know or care about this at all , his evaluation by Gaia improved significantly because of this change too as the only flaw Gaia found in Rudra uptil this moment was that he was too focused on his own organisation and did not care about the bigger picture too much.
But with his new temperament he truly became the most suitable candidate to lead earth. Now only if he could help Hades topple Lucifer and gain his favour , then there was a good chance that after the first awakening Hades would personally recruit Rudra into his army as his commander and thereby extend a huge olive branch to his host planet the Earth.
This was the hope of Gaia and the cuber corporation, however according to the universal laws they could not interfere in the natural storyline of the game at all , as should the dark faction come out on top , then planet earth would be integrated into Lucifer's faction and the leader would be chosen amongst the dark faction candidates.
Integrating into the dark faction would make the quality of life on earth become trash , as the dark faction of the universe followed the law of the jungle where the strong preyed in the weak and everything from slavery to murder was legal by law.
Should earth become such a lawless place , open to invasion and looting by the other species in the dark faction , it would become a desolate planet in a matter of one to two years post the awakening with only the best humans being drafted into mercenary corps while the others being left to dry out and die on the resourceless planet.

( Meanwhile Dronacharya)
Dronacharya completely devoted himself to Lucifer and cut himself off from the world. Delving into ancient forbidden practices and useless demonic rituals that were a hoax.
But everytime he performed a wrong ritual he became more and more sure about the correct path as after performing a total of 237 failed rituals on the 238th attempt he was finally able to gain a brief audience with Lucifer.
Lucifer looked at the mortal who had managed to get in touch with him and remembered him to be the same man who had contacted him a few years ago ,as he immediately became interested.
Although everything else about the man was ordinary, him able to find this ancient ritual was proof of his dedication as Lucifer decided to amuse himself by lending him an ear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucifer said " Say , what do you want weak , pathetic mortal ? Why have you tried so hard to find me ? ".
Dronacharya fell on his knees as he kowtowed before Lucifer and said " O great devil , this humble servants bows before you , please grant him one selfish request.
Please Destroy Shakuni of the Elites!
I detest that man to my core and have repeatedly failed in my attempts to kill him.
I will do anything for you in return ".
Lucifer smiled evily upon hearing the name Shakuni of the Elites, that mortal was a peculiar one and even an eyesore to Lucifer himself , hence he agreed to Dronacharya 's demands as he said " The demons dairy ... Hades has it , with it he has a fair chance of defeating my army. Find it and destroy it using this special flame i bestow upon you .
Do not try to foolishly grab that book , as it will consume a weak mortal like you instantly , but if you manage to destroy it , i will in return destroy shakuni of the elites for you."
A system notification came infront of dronacharya, as he was provided with relevant quest details and the support after being given a SSS rated mission.
Succeed and the reward was the destruction of Rudra , fail and most likely he would suffer permanent death at the hands of Hades being banished from Omega.
It was the riskiest choice that dronacharya had ever made in his life , however his hate for Rudra was profound enough for him to take even this insane step.
This time around everything was on the line for him, however the reward on the other side was equally tempting.
In the end he ended up accepting the quest ....
