Mason did not waste any time and shouted loudly.
“Someone is attacking! We need to run!”
The captain of the royal guards, who follows the king everywhere, was nowhere to be found, along with most of the royal guards. Only a handful of soldiers were present in the room, and Alexander’s close aides The Lion Tamala and Sir Wint understood what was going on. It was betrayal, and treason. Sir Campbell was just shocked and remained in his position.
“Sir Campbell, if you intend on making that leg for me, I need you alive do I not? Then please follow me. We need to leave the capital as soon as possible. Same goes for you, Duke Desmon, as well as you Don.”
Alexander, Tamala, and Wint, all turned their gazes towards Mason, thinking the same thing.
‘Is he involved in this?’
However, Mason received a new notification and followed its contents.
“I am not involved in this. My lord has told me some people are rebelling against the king. And they are not weak people, almost on par with the royal family. Furthermore, they have a lot of nobles supporting them, and only a handful of nobles are still loyal. He said it is the RedForce.”
Understanding struck like lightening as the colour drained from the king’s face, while Tamala clenched his teach. Wint began pondering about their next course of action.

“I know a way to escape. My lord just informed me.”
“Just before we do anything else, just who is ‘you lord’?”
“Naturally, he is the mighty God of Systems!” Mason followed the script set up by Jack.
‘God of Systems? Doesn’t sound like a god of old. Must be a new god. He doesn’t sound like a fallen god, nor a devil. It should be fine for now.’ Though Wint.
“He told me to tell you all that he has already greeted A- ahem, the God of War some time back, along with the other 9 supreme gods who all sent their sub-deities to witness my lord’s birth. He also made a deal with The God of war just now apparently!”
“…”
Wint, Tamala, Alexander, Desmon, and the 2 guards present were al utterly shocked.
‘What kind of birth would require the presence of such might beings?!’
“Stop wasting time. All those who wish to die, remain here. All those wishing to live, follow me.”
“Wait-” shouted Don as he, and the two guards spouted mouthfuls of blood.
“Damn it! I forgot! That priest from the church of the War God, he poisoned all entrants’ mana! Wait! What if he was not a priest from the war god, but from some evil deity, or fallen god, and was hired by RedForce?!”
Without thinking, Mason rushed to Don and told him to prey to his god, and accept his blessing, while shouting the other fallen soldiers to do the same.
In the verge of death, they accepted their ‘Sub-player’ systems, which Jack had given to the slaves that Heron had brought into the faith, before extracting and collecting the strange mana poison in his divine kingdom.
“Anyone else about to die mid-journey? Just pray to my lord, hopefully he hears you and gives you his blessing. I will leave you behind if you do not.”
Without a shred of further hesitation after seeing the recovering Don and guards, Desmon prayed to the God of systems but received a different notification.

Huh? So, it was you?
Anyway, do you wish to join the church of Systems?
Note: You sister is alive, and has fled to another continent. You cannot meet her now, but you will get to talk with her, and I’ll make her meet you soon enough.
