Chapter 737 Chaos Brews

Rudra's absence had turned the order of the Elites upside down , Karna hired a team of extremely talented CGI artists and released a clip where Rudra was sitting in his guild office stroking furball as he replied to a conspiracy theory organization.

Karna had thought long and hard about how to proceed with faking Rudra's presence and finally he decided to recreate his friends playful nature as in the video Rudra was seen saying " Yes cryoforbes I'm dead ".

The video was posted by the True Elites official guild forum page and the video caused a lot of controversy on the internet.

The guild members who did not think that the management would play such games with them lined up outside Rudra's office trying to get a glimpse of the guildmaster, whereas the cryoforbes website became even more incensed by the reply and took it to the internet to expose the lie.

Things became out of control when even after 24 hours of the video posted , none of the guildmembers saw Rudra.

Karna had somehow stalled the guild for one day by buying fake time , however in the process of doing so he had caused the hysteria to even deepen.

Although it was not his intention to do so , things came to a boiling point in Purplehaze city with the video.

The elites refused to listen to the trolls and lashed out violently at anyone claiming their leader was dead , whereas the conspiracy theorists got bolder and bolder every pa.s.sing hour since Rudra did not show himself in public.

The biggest blow however came when the cryoforbes website posted a video with proof of how Rudra's body was CGI'd in that video .

They had apparently scanned it pixel by pixel and showed irrefutable evidence to the world that the video posted by the elites was a fake!

This piece of news shook up the entire world as for the first time since the start of Omega, the guildmembers fought with management.

Angry guildmembers half begged half demanded Karna to tell them the truth , as morale within the guild hit a rock bottom.

The faith that the true elites had in each other and the management was the foundation of the guild. The memebers beleived that the management would never deceive them and hence Karna 's move was extremely counterproductive.

Sitting in Rudra's office , Karna buried his face in his palms as he contemplated the best course of action.

However before he could go out and face the guild, an even worse piece of news were delivered to him as Amelia entered the office to say " Vice guildmaster... Emperor Cervantez is here to see the king and there has been a ruckus on the streets ".

Karna looked at Amelia in shock , the timing could not be any worse!

( Meanwhile Rudra's POV)

Rudra had 5 elements to chose from and he understood the merits and demerits of every single one of them.

The problem was with the versatility of the moves and his own requirements.

Choosing future sight was a no- brainer for him as he was the most proficient in the time element and having that skill could give him unprecedented advantages in a peak level battle where hundereds of moves were exchanged in a span of a second.

Knowing even one of them in advance and using it to dodge the attack would mean that Rudra could potentially counter it perfectly and win a fight.

The problem was in making the second choice.

Currently for Rudra he did not have a single destructive move in his a.r.s.enal that could destroy entire battlefields.

Facing Mahrez he could now understand the true value of having such a move in his a.r.s.enal as for the coming war against Lucifer he would need to personally launch attacks on many cities and in such fights if he had the ability to raze them with a single attack then it would become extremely advantageous.

For this requirement the tsunami was a perfect fit , however it had a ma.s.sive mana unit consumption as well as a long cooldown in normal situations.

Having studied the map of h.e.l.l carefully, Rudra understood that there was only one critical battle for a bridge that was going to be fought over a river , however other than that going in from the eastern end , the army would not be having any oceans around.

Especially in the final battle for the capital city , where using such a move once would mean that Rudra would lose one of his two tier 5 skills.

Angel's wrath was also a one time move which was suited for PVP battles , however having two one time moves in his a.r.s.enal would make him extremely vulnerable against strong tier 5 opponents.

s.p.a.ce manipulation solved this problem as Rudra could see it's practical use. If he could open wormholes and deliver attacks from unusual angles at an enemy he could master PVP like n.o.body's buisness! However the move had no area of effect potential and was useless in the important requirement of him having the capability of neutralizing a battlefield alone.

Dark fire had the same issue as the s.p.a.ce manipulation as it was a PVP move. With a cooldown of 1 hour it was the least prefferable choice as although it was an extremely strong combat move for 1v1 battle with the highest attack power of the five , he already had holy lance in his a.r.s.enal for that purpose.

Terrain manipulation was a extremely useful move that if used correctly could become an ultimate support move. However it was just not the right fit for Rudra's fighting style as with him already having to manipulate gravity and at the same time fight while dual wielding. He would not be able to also micromanage terrain Manipulation.

This meant that the final choice came down between s.p.a.ce buster and oceans reckoning.

Rudra thought long and hard about these two moves and realised that with him already having a ma.s.sive undead army at his disposal he already had some PvE ability. Although not as effective as the tsunami , it was still pa.s.sable if push came to shove. However he needed a continuous use move more than a one time use move at the moment , as the outcome of the battle finally would only be decided by the lives and death of those at tier 4 and above.

Understanding this well , Rudra chose to go for future sight and s.p.a.ce buster as his skill moves as he finally completed his tier 5 promotion.

Rudra called his stat pannel to have a look -

Rudra let out a loud and deep sigh after seeing his stat panel , he understood how big of a monster he had now become.

Although still not nearly as strong as the G.o.ds that Lucifer and Hades were having stats of over 100,000 for each individual stat , he was still impressive by human standards.

Finally , he was one step closer to being prepared for the war that was to come.

( Meanwhile Cervantez)

Cervantez felt it in his bones when Rudra ascended to tier 5. The cosmic energy that boomed from Purplehaze city might be undetectable to the mortals , but as a tier 5 existance who had mastered the laws himself , Cervantez felt it through and through.

He knew at that moment that there was only one man in Purplehaze city that could have ascended , however the timespan really shocked him.

It was only a few years back that he tried to make the kid his lieutenant and now he was his equal.

Taking the teleportation instantly, Cervantez arrived inside purplehaze city with haste .
