"Mimicry.." Andre couldn't believe that this person in front of him was indignant because of that for years. He knew that Mimicry wanted to see him exact his power and authority, but of course, he didn't need to and he shouldn't because of the power it holds. He was hiding his power for the sake of the naive mortals in this world. "I hid because it is the right thing to do for the sake of the people–"
"That too!" Mimicry shouted with anger as he pointed at him, "You're too benevolent upon the people who did nothing but to corrupt the world! They have all the right to die at your hands! But you chose not to and instead let the other mortals decide what to do. Why? Because you're too powerful to be considered human to them!"
He raised his hand in convinced as he exclaimed with longing, "Now that the world has evolved to become a world filled with people who possesses powers, you can now stop hiding and show them your true power, the power of a GOD!"
Suddenly, Mimicry chuckled as he said to Andre, "You know, Father? I wasn't really opposed to the idea of the West pf uniting the world under one governance. What I am opposed is, they aren't the one worthy of uniting all nations; You are."
"With your power that is ever so rightfully bestowed upon you, the world will bow, and you will unite the world into one, a dream that those Westerners can never and would never be able to exact!"
He then looked Andre straight in the eye as ge uttered his desire with fervor, "Father, just say the word, and I, together with your people, shall conquer the entire world and unite it under your throne!"
Andre was touched, but he remained true to his desire. He shook his head and replied, "You know that I have no desire of being an overlord." Hearing him, Mimicry visibly became languid. "Although I don't want the world to be under me, I will let you lead the people and unite the world under one government. At least, before the end, the world became united." He added but lowered his voice on the last sentence.
"What?" Mimicry raised his head with glowing eyes. "I give you my blessing." Andre suddenly declared. "Conquer the world not under my banner, but under the banner of those who seek for peace. Begin your conquest under the name of Gaius and not the name of me or our country. Remember, we unite the world for the world, not for our selfish desires."
Mimicry's eyes widened as he smiled with delight, "You need not worry, Father! I shall bring upon unity upon the world!"
"First, I'll have you summon the leaders of the four nations. As they're not likely going to take me seriously with this identity, they would meet someone that they'd have to take seriously. I'll meet them, not as General Horan, but as the former King Andras Maharlika VI." Andre commanded with a small smirk on his face.
"As you wish!" Mimicry nodded before rushing to the telephone to call the four countries.
Korea, Busan, The Imperial Capital, Palace of Glorious Heaven.
Inside the Monarch's Study, the current Korean King Yi Eun was sitting on his chair while piles of papers were placed on his table.
Yi Eun sighed as he looked at the paperworks in front of him and moved to get another one when.
Kriiing!
He turned to the ringing telephone and answered the call through the loudspeaker "This is the King speaking." He said wearily.
"Your Majesty, there's a call from King Emanuel of the Philippines. Would you like to answer it?" A female voice came out of the loudspeaker to notify him.
"Hmm?" Yi Eun rubbed his eyes and replied, "Forward the call to me."
A while later, Mimicry's voice sounded out from the phone, "Greetings, King Yi Eun. This is Emanuel of The Philippine Royal Family."
"Yes. What do you need, King Emanuel?" Yi Eun asked.
"I called to inform you that my father, the Former King Andras Maharlika VI, calls for a summon for the four Eastern Nations. It seems that he has something to discuss that would help us with the matter against the Union." Mimicry didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Oh? Then I would send the Prime Minister there." Yi Eun nodded. "I am afraid that the talk isn't going to work if the Prime Minister would be the one to engage and not you personally." When he heard the Korean King's answer, Mimicry immediately shut down that thought of his.
"Why? Isn't the Prime Minister enough?" Yi Eun narrowed his eyes, with the tension between the conversation heightening.
"I am afraid it is, King Yi." As soon as he responded with that, Yi Eun immediately slammed his hand on the table, causing the papers to scatter because of the sheer force. "What are you planning, King Emanuel? You do know that if you are planning to assassinate us, it would very likely fail." Yi Eun's cold and threatening voice reached Mimicry's ears on the other side of the line.
"I am not just the King of Korea, King Emanuel. You do know my identity as "The Divine Archer", correct?" He stated menacingly.
"Of course." Mimicry replied, "The Korean Monarch who shot down twenty Union battleships with one arrow. No one would forget that."
"That is why I am calling all the Eastern leaders, including you." Mimicry then continued, "You, me, Great Xia's Dragon Monarch, Greater India's Warhammer Behemoth, and Japan's Shinigami. Do you see how powerful that lineup is?" Mimicry chuckled.
"The truth is, the leaders' participation in this plan isn't really necessary for us to win, but as allies, we consider your support. With that reason, we hope for all of you to personally come."
"Then, tell me your plan, now." Yi Eun snorted.
"Why would I?" Mimicry responded, "There's a lot of prying ears around. I don't want to risk the enemies knowing our plan."
"I'll be expecting you." After saying that, Mimicry ended the call, leaving Yi Eun to process everything that he said.
After a while, the King pressed "2" on the phone, connecting to the secretary outside, "Jeong-ssi, come inside. Immediately." He said.
A second later, a woman wearing a suit came inside the study. She bowed towards Yi Eun before asking respectfully, "What do you need me for, Your Majesty?"
"Schedule a flight to the Philippines and an audience with King Emanuel the day after tomorrow." He commanded.
"Understood, Your Majesty." The secretary nodded and bowed before leaving the room. Yi Eun then sat on his chair and clasped his hands in a serious manner, "I would like to see what you're planning, Philippine King." He muttered seriously.
Great Xia, Ulaanbaatar Northern Fortress.
At the top of the northern walls, A muscular man wearing an armor that's design is similar to the old Qin Dynasty armor stood tall together with his spear that is made of jade and is two heads taller than him. He was the Emperor of Great Xia, The Dragon Monarch, Yu Long.
He gazed upon the lands beyond the wall with solemnity. Kilometres away, the sight of a barren and deathly land could be clearly seen by his eyes.
Behind him, his soldiers looked at him with awe as he stood still. To them, he was a humongous bastion, a shield who protects them from the enemy.
While he gazed below, a soldier suddenly ran towards him. "What is it? Why are you rushing?" He asked with a deep voice without turning to the man.
"Your Majesty, King Emanuel of The Philippines wants to talk to you." The man answered as he raised his hand with a phone. With that, he finally reacted as he extended his hand to receive it.
"What is it, King Emanuel?" He asked emotionlessly.
"Hello. We finally had the opportunity to talk, Emperor Yu." Mimicry's merry voice sounded from the phone.
Still, Yu Long's face didn't even show a slightest bit of emotion, "I know you myself, Swordsmaster Emanuel. You're not the person to dilly-dally, so speak up." He stated.
"Then, I'll not beat around the bush any longer." Mimicry nodded, "My father, the former king Andras, calls for an audience with the Dragon Monarch regarding the solution to all our problems. He requests the Emperor to visit our country for the talks."
"That I cannot do, King Emanuel." Yu Long immediately denied, "You know that the threat of the Lichfiend is at an all-time high, especially since Soviet Russia fell under his hands. I cannot leave my brethren without someone to protect them from outside threats."
"You need not worry about that, Emperor Yu." Mimicry replied with an assuring tone, "My father would send a man of his that would be enough to defend the entire Great Xia from any threat for an entire month, and you would definitely return to Great Xia the day after the talks."
Silence.
