" Are you sure this information is correct? " Jhonny asked the S class mercenary who brought the information to him.
" We are positive that this information is 100% true sir, It was Shakuni Of The Elites who attacked Thunder nation ships.
We have analysed the wreckage and based on the attack marks and the information in the database, the thickness of the sword used in the attack matches perfectly with his ' Grim Reaper ' blade while all the attacks used are known to be in his arsenal
Although he is a tier6 god, his strength is formidable and with his record in Omega being that he was able to kill Lucifer while being a mortal, maybe he can indeed kill 4 god's at once ". The mercenary replied with composure even though his back was drenched in sweat standing in front of Jhonny.
" So the thunder nation is after my boy Shakuni, HA!
Burn this information, tell the thunder nation to fuck off, The Red hand's will not harm a hair off my boys head ". Jhonny said as the S class mercenary instantly felt uncomfortable with the verdict that had been passed.
" Sir, the thunder nation has paid us a lot of money to do this investigation and they will pay us a shitton more when we send them the report.
If we play our cards right, it will be the biggest payout in the history of this organisation ". The mercenary tried to talk some sense to Jhonny who only shook his head in dismay.
" Who do you think will win in a fight between Thor and Shakuni, eh lad? " Jhonny asked curiously
"Well of course it would be Thor sir, he is a monarch, a tier 8 powerhouse, a supreme god amongst even gods, while shakuni is just a tier 6 run of the mill god ". The mercenary replied innocently.
" Hahahaha " Jhonny began laughing merrily to the joke he had just heard, slowly at first but hysterically as time went on.
Eventually a full two minutes passed but Johnny's laughter had not died down even a little, which compelled the mercenary to interrupt as he asked " I'm sorry sir, what exactly is so funny? "
Jhonny looked at his blank, clueless face as he laughed hard once more for a full minute before he controlled his laughter and managed a reply.
" What's funny is you thinking that Thor can beat my boy Shakuni.
You don't get it lad, since Shakuni boy has decided to go after the thunder nation, the thunder nation is already as good as history with its leader Thor as good as dead.
He is called ' Shakuni The Undefeated ' for a reason, while you may not know him personally, I do.
Forget about selling information to the thunder nation and focus on winding up our operations from that nation and sell all our properties and assets there while the prices are still high.
Hahahahahaha, Thor stronger than my boy my ass "
The mercenary was taken aback by Jhonny's confidence, he had never seen Jhonny behave the way he was behaving today, and there was not a spec of doubt in Jhonny's mind when he spoke the words that he spoke.
The mercenary could feel that Jhonny meant every word that he had uttered today, but for him to accept Jhonny's words as the inevitable truth sent shivers down his spine.
Thor was a mighty figure in his head, an untouchable figure, and the thunder nation was vast and strong. However, for an organisation to be capable of wiping it out and killing Thor, they would need to be at least another monarchy and their leader a monarch.
For the tier 5 Mercenary to believe that a man who had not even played Sigma for one full year yet, to be at the strength of a monarch was to break his worldview completely.
Just how strong was Shakuni to be compared to a monarch?

( Meanwhile Asiva )
" Ravan and Sebastian have not returned from the dungeon " Severus broke the news to Anna and Asiva as for the past several hours he had been in contact with thunder nation officials as well as the university management and the final conclusion that everyone had after a lot of inspection was that Max and Sebastian had not exited the dungeon for reasons unknown.
Asiva felt her heart sink when she heard the news.
It was common knowledge that nobody survived the dungeon for the 2.5 years for which the entry and exit portals remained closed which meant that Max was most likely going to die in there now that he was trapped inside.
" No, No, No, No, No, This can't be happening " Anna shrieked at hearing the news, her immediate thought being that Max was most likely caught by the demon Asmodeus alongside Sebastian and the two were being detained and tortured….. or even worse ( dead ), by now.
Asiva was even worse, her usually shiny and beautiful eyes looked like they had lost all of their lustre as she stared blankly into Severus's face.
" I will do some more investigation from my end about his whereabouts, but the best case scenario for now is that Ravan and Sebastian will be back outside with us in 2.5 years.
Worst case …..
Be prepared for the worst ". Severus said, his front of appearing strong and unaffected failing miserably as the man had real tears in his eyes as he spoke this.
" M-my sister has a treasure that will help us look at them, yes! My sister-
Let's go to my sister " Anna said as she grabbed Asiva and Severus's hands and sprinted for the teleportation centre.
