Deus(God) Continent.
There was a country know as the Loke Kingdom. This country was one of the newer countries compared to the countless powerhouses in the continent like the Asgard Empire and the Sanskrit Federation, that were led by Odin’s and Indra’s proxies respectively.
Despite being young, this country wasn't one anyone could afford to underestimate. That was because of who founded this country.
Inside the royal capital a man with blonde hair and green eyes walked the streets, that was paved in gold. His presence easily drew the attention of every citizen there.
“It’s the king!”
“King Julian has returned!”
The people shouted.
That’s right. The one who founded this country was none other than Loki’s Proxy and Rihan’s best friend and fellow Juggernaut member, Warmonger Julian.
Let’s talk about the man called the Warmonger for a bit.
Born and raised in the Asgard Empire. One of the many sons of Odin’s Proxy War Sage, Stein. He was already a raising star in the great Asgard army at the tender age of 15. By 20 he was a platoon leader, and a general by 50. Even over 1000 years later, he still holds the record for the youngest General the army has ever seen, beating his older brother who was Thor’s Proxy Lightning Emperor Skylar.
It goes without saying that Julian had a bright future in the world’s largest and most powerful empire. That’s why when he suddenly defected it came to a shock to not only the empire, but the entire world.
His defection greatly angered his father, who sent all of his generals and warriors to pursue Julian. However, Stein and the empire didn’t know that Julian had became a proxy, and not just a regular Proxy but the Proxy of Loki who had once plunged the entire Norse pantheon into chaos.
Julian successfully repel his pursuers using Loki’s tricky powers, and escaped his father’s grasp. Or that was what others thought. In actuality, Julian had help when facing his the Asgard Empire.
The Juggernauts. The Juggernauts were created in secret by him and Rihan long before he left the empire.
Julian then went on to create this country to serve as a secret base of the Juggernauts, but it quickly became a powerhouse in its own right and functioned as a proper country with him as the king.
Under the cheers of his people, Julian walked towards his palace. Upon entering his palace he was greeted by a beautiful woman.
She had long black hair that flowed like a river. Her blue eyes were like blue stars in the night sky. Her caramel skin was smooth and looked very soft. Her body voluptuous and could make any man mad with lust.
Her overall impression was irresistible.
“Eden, you came to meet me.”
Said Julian.
The woman was his wife, queen of his country; the God Eater, Eden. She was the god slaying wolf Fenrir’s Proxy.
“Of course I’m here to meet you, you’re late.”
Eden complained.
“Oh? Are the others here already?”
Julian asked.
“They mostly are. But since Rihan is busy, we had to wait on the other leader to start, which is you.”
“What? Couldn’t you start the meeting as my representative?”
Julian said as he walked along side Eden.
“You know that those people won’t listen to me. I’m not an official member after all.”
“You could’ve beaten them into submission you know?”
“Like I could! Each and everyone of them are monsters, there’s no way I could take them all on!”
Julian laughed.
“I was just kidding. Only a few people in this world are capable of such a feat.”
He said.
They walked down the halls of the palace, until they reached a painting of themselves on a wall. Julian placed his hand on the painting.
*Pssh!*
Suddenly, the wall split in two and separated to reveal a hidden stairway leading to underneath the palace.
They walked down the stairway, and the wall closed up behind them. After walking down the dark stairway for a while, their scenery suddenly changed. They were now in a mountainous range.

They had past through a teleportation array and was carried to a different world. They who were previously walking down, were now walking up a different set of stairs.
After less than five minutes, they arrived at the top of the plateau.
There they saw a huge temple with a devil on it. They entered the temple and came across a spacious room with a huge table in the center.
Sitting around the table were 5 people. They all wore suits, masks, and either red or black gloves. These were the members of Juggernaut.
“Sorry that I’m late everyone. I got caught up with some business on my way here.”
Julian sat at the chair that had a black Joker on it.
“As an apology, I brought a gift.”
He flicked his wrist and an egg appeared on the table.
“This is a cockatrice egg. I had a run in with a pack of them when I was on my way here. I snatched this egg in hopes that we can raise it.”
He said.
“Don’t we already have a cockatrice?”
One of the members asked.
Their voice didn’t give away their gender at all. They sat on a chair that had a K symbol with a crown on it. This was the Black King of the Juggernauts.
“We do?”
Julian asked in surprise.
“Yeah. It’s roaming around in my kingdom, guarding its borders so I know.”
Answer Black King.
“I see. Then I’ll keep it for myself.”
Julian put away the egg.
“Black Joker.”
Another member lifted its hand. Like the Black King their gender couldn’t be revealed by their voice alone.
They sat on a chair with a red J letter with a crown above. This was the Red Jack of the Juggernauts.
“What is it?”
Julian asked.
“I thought this was an important meeting that required everyone’s attendance. Yet, we’re missing 4 members.”
Said Red Jack.
There were 11 seats at this table, all have a letter or a symbol in either red or black on them to indicate whose seats they were.
By the way, Eden seat had a black wolf on it. Since she wasn’t an official member, she didn’t have a face card suit assigned to her.
“I’m confused as to why there are so many members absent. Please explain.”
“I would like an explanation as well.”
Another member spoke up.
They sat in the seat with a red K and crown on it. They were the Juggernauts Red King.
“The members that are missing are the Red Joker, the Black Ace, the Red Queen, and the Black Queen. They are all important members. Especially the Red Joker who is the leader of the Red Order that I’m a part of.”
Said the Red King.
“There’s a good explanation for the missing members.”
Julian replied.
“First of all, let’s start with your leader the Red Joker. You see, Rihan had some stuff to deal with back home and took a leave of absence.”
“A leave of absence? Then who will lead the Red Order?”
Asked the Red Jack.
“His second, the Red Ace.”
Julian looked at the person who sat in the seat with a red A in it. This was the Juggernauts Red Ace.
“I appreciate it if you don’t add more burdens to the ones I already have. I’m busy running a Kingdom you know?”
The Red Ace rest their elbow on the table and rest their chin in their hand.
“That isn’t going to work as an excuse. A couple of us are kings and queens of our own states as well. You have the time.”
Julian said.
The Red Ace clicked their tongue in irritation.
“If you’re gonna be mad, be mad at your husband for leaving everything to you.”
Julian said in a teasing tone.
“Hey, if Rihan went to deal with some family business why didn’t you go with him, Red Ace?”
Asked final member, who was the Black Jack.
“Did you forget our 3rd rule?”
Red Ace asked.
“Avoid associating with each other more than necessary when outside of the organization.”
Red King recited.
“Because of Red Ace’s identity in the public, she can’t associate with someone infamous like Rihan. People would get suspicious and start looking into their relation. This could lead to her indirectly revealing both their identities, thus breaking the first rule, 1. Never reveal the identities of any of the members.”
They explained.
“That’s right. The world view Rihan and I as two polar opposites, they would get suspicious if I suddenly start associating myself with him.”
Said Red Ace.
“But what about your son?”
Eden asked.
“It’s okay. I meet Aeon every now and then, in secret of course.”
Red Ace replied.
“Anyway, enough about me and Rihan. What about the other three missing members?”
She changed the topic.
“Ah, when I contacted Black Ace he said that his assignment wasn’t finished. So he couldn’t abandon it.”
Said Eden.
“His assignment, huh. If I remember correctly, that was in the Silver Continent right?”
Asked the Black King.
“That’s right.”
Eden replied.
“The same continent as Rihan, huh. Speaking of which, have you guys heard about Rihan’s nephew?”
Black King asked.
“The Heavenly Demon King, right?”
Red King asked.
“I heard about him. Apparently, he’s Tiamat’s Proxy and is said to be quite interesting. My kingdom is keeping an eye on him. “
Said Black Jack.
“Considering the nature of Black Ace’s mission, he might end up clashing with him.”
“Oh? That would be interesting to see.”
Said the Red King.
“I agree. I heard that he went up against Kilo once.”
Said Red Ace.
“He is your nephew, right? You could contact him using your identity as a fellow Proxy. You could then use your connection through him to interact with your son more.”
Said Eden.
“I appreciate the suggestion, but I’m alright with my current relationship with Aeon. I don’t want him to get caught up in my problems. He already has too much on his plate with a father like that.”
Said Red Ace.
“I see….Sorry.”
Eden said with a sadden tone.
Julian silently patted her head to console her.
“Anyway, Black Ace can’t make it and the same goes for Red Queen and Black Queen as well.”
He suddenly said.
“Are those two still on that same mission?”
Black Jack asked.
Julian nodded.
“It’s a long term job, but I heard that they should be finished in a couple months or so.”
Julian smiled.
“Apparently, their ‘Boss’ is making his final preparations to destroy the Dragna Clan.”
He said.
“I could never understand why Rihan made those two to assist that man in destroying his own clan.”
Said Black King.
“The circumstances are a bit complicated.”
Julian smiled mysteriously and said.
“I don’t really care to be honest. I could never understand the Red and Black Queen. Especially the Black Queen. He’s sick in his head.”
Said Black Jack.
“We’re all sick in the head. Otherwise we wouldn’t have become so famous.”
Julian said with a laugh.
“Anyway, let’s get down to business.”
He got serious and said.
“First agenda is that it’s time for us to cause a war between Conqueror King Guzan and Perfect Queen Maya to break out.”
“Are there any limits to what we can do?”
Asked Black King.
Julian shook his head.
“Any method is acceptable, no matter how dirty or despicable. So be free to present ideas.”
“The second agenda?”
Asked Red Ace.
“New Era. They showed their intentions of making us a part of them.”
“So, what are we going to do?”
A wicked smile appeared on Julian’s face.
“Destroying them from the inside seems quite fun, don’t you think?”
