"3 Pillars should be enough right~?" Those words echoed slightly as they heard a young voice filled with interest , one could see her blue eyes and pure black long hair wearing what seemed to be a typical priestess robe you see in fantasy novels.
Human and Remnants alike felt the same thing , it was different , it was a unique feel , it was like they signified something , something that can never be stopped.
"I—The Pillar of Continuation , Violet shall promise in my name , this alliance shall endure for as long you choose to continue" As she said those words , her eyes turned golden for a while before returning blue.
—!!!!!!!
The room fell silent , no to be exact it wasn't because of the existence of the Pillars , but the fact that the world , No—Everything felt like it shall forever continue , that was the only way to describe the feeling.
"Hoh~ Tell me Violet , how do mere words guarantee that this alliance will hold?" Herta said , her voice filled with sarcasm and curiosity , it was true she felt it too , but as a genius , to question why and how is in her nature.
"I—The Pillar of Deviation , Lord of Mysteries shall promise in my title , the words here are only the truth , there shall be no deviation" He said in a cold voice contrary to Violet's full of curiosity.
The other Pillar , the Pillar of Deviation , with a tall , lean , scholarly build. He has neatly styled black hair and deep dark-brown eyes marked by faint shadows of habitual sleeplessness.
Most humans recognize this man , he has many names and titles , coming from one of the most famous and memorable novel , Lord of the Mysteries. Unfortunately only some Remnants realize who He was.
He is Klein Moretti , He is Gehrman Sparrow , He is Dwayne Dantes , He is Merlin Hermes , He is The Fool , He is the Sea God Kalvetua , He is the Lord of Mysteries and countless titles that the humans all know.
For a second—No right after he said those words , They could feel it , they could not lie , they could not hide or underlie the meaning of their words , it was as if there could not be a single Deviation from the intended meaning.
"Those titles aren't just for show huh." Rick Sanchez said in a rather calm tone , unlike his usual self who'd always talk sarcastically , though not really a great trait , it was something Herta liked due to the bluntness.
"And you? Which one are you?" He continued , this time in a sarcastic tone as he pointed his finger to the last so called Pillars. She was wearing a hoodie , a single oversized hoodie , unlike the other 2 Pillars who looked dignified.
She was the only one who looked unkept and unsuited , it was a logical remark , she looked like a hooligan , her white hair was poking from the hood , truly an unprofessional , at least that was what the man named Rick Sanchez thought.
*Snap
Suddenly her appearance changed , the hoodie was no where in sight , replacing it a yellow collar, with black fur on her shoulders, a black, white and pink suit, a long black and pink glove on her left hand and a black glove one on her right hand
Her orange eyes looked at everything coldy like they were mere bugs , some humans recognize this , it was the form of the Herrscher of Void from Hi3rd.
"Perhaps this form rings a bell?" She muttered in an authoritative tone , some Remnants looked at this form and could feel it , some had even actually see it
*Snap
Again her appearance changed , a black crown-like crown accessory in her hair with 2 streaks of red, a flowing cape reminiscent of flames, and white knight-like armor accented with black and orange , the Herrscher of Flamescion.
Yet unlike the versions some humans remembered , her blue eyes were cold with no trace of empathy or warmth unlike the canon version , and thus she spoke
"I dislike petty small talk , All I will say is simple , A Decision shall be made in this meeting , it shall have a Conclusion , That is all" She calmly said , but unlike the other 2 , no one felt something happen
"A Fraud? I told you these Pillars can't be tru—" "Eh-?" A human said perhaps trying to humiliate these Pillars ,
VHOOOOOOOOOMMMMM
There was no snap , yet her form had changed again , and this time everyone could feel it , even the most powerful ones could not move , it was as if their movements had been concluded.
Her eyes a bluish purple, with bright pink glowing irises, like 4 pointed stars
wearing a white and dark purple dress-like clothes, adorned with black and purple flowers. Her hands seemed to be in a gradient overflowing with so much energy.
"The Pillar of Conclusion." She said as she stated her title with an emotionless voice and a deadpanned expression
The transformation was only for a split second before she returned back to her Flamescion form , The declaration was simple as well , This meeting shall have a Conclusion today.
"Do your talk." She continued her voice was ice cold as the 3 pillars each sat calmly , as if waiting for them to begin.
—
"Do your talk." She said her voice as authoritative as ever , different from when we were negotiating in private , perhaps this was the mask she uses whenever she meets others.
"Well? When are we fucking starting?" Rick Sanchez said , it was obvious he was irritated as so many things were delayed due to the mistrust of humans.
"Our terms are simple , When this war is over, Remnants shall be granted full legal equality with humans. This includes citizenship rights, property ownership, freedom of movement, access to public services, and protection under the law."
"No Remnant shall be subjected to detention, experimentation, or discrimination based on their status as a Remnant." Rimuru Tempest leaded the conversation as most members of the Coalition of Remnants slowly nodded.
It was obvious that not everyone would agree , there are those who wishes to take revenge , there are many who sees the Pillars as traitors , they were Remnants themselves and yet they were giving the humans an equal footing.
"Major factions shall contribute resources—food, medicine, equipment, energy—to a common pool, distributed according to need and strategic priority. The Sovereign Flame offers to serve as the neutral logistical coordinator."
Lawrence Lim said , his eyes filled with conviction , in a way he was perhaps one of the few humans Remnants could fully trust , one who has always kept his promise and treated Humans and Remnants equally.
"How can we trust you? You human who favors Remnants" a human official said in a frantic tone.
"You always called him a Remnant and now you call him a Human? Fucking Humans , always trying to instigate things." A remnant of a Magical Girl said , her voice was annoyed.
"Silence." Acheron's words echoed as she placed her hands in her scabbard , ready to draw it at any moment. Of course nobody knew that she had to make sure she wouldn't regret her actions.
—Acheron
"As a former human , now considered a Remnants , an uncontrollable Vestige that should slaughter everything , yet here I am mediating your 2 sides. Do You Feel No Shame?" I said as my eyes glowed Indigo , Origin was activated
The other 3 Raiden's were silent , perhaps this was their way of respecting my decision , most of the humans and Remnants face were sour , it was obvious they must've felt ashame.
Yet not all were like that , members of Herta's Society only stayed silent , their genius mind knows the implication, , the representatives of each faction were also silent , they knew her words were the truth
"And how can we know you're not lying? What if you were sane the entire time and all the destruction you caused " Another human representative asked , he seemed rather confident in his question yet
"Are you a fool? Did you not here the declaration made by the Lord Mysteries" Ray Grisha said as his limpid eyes looked at the human not with sympathy but with hard cold logic
"The words here are only the truth , there shall be no Deviation" Ray Grisha recited those words as they could see Klein Moretti nod.
"It's funny , at least half of the entire Remnant population were former humans , yet the second they were labelled as Remnants you all act as if they all are beneath you." He continued
"You can't blame us it's human nature to fear what they can't control" Another human said.
"So You're saying we must be controlled?" A Dragon Remnant said as it's draconic eyes look at the human with pure hostility.
"ENOUGH." Lawrence Lim's voice could be heard as the attention shifts to him.
—Lawrence Lim
"The world's could crumble any second and all you're focused is with personal gains , why can't everyone just unite just this once" I said in a serious manner , The world could be destroyed.
Many Remnants and Humans are suffering , yet all these higher figures care about are their own interest , it was suffocating , it was annoying but there was nothing I could really do as the damage has been done.
"Mencius A Chinese philosopher from our world once said , Humans nature are inherently good , yet from what I see it seems like you all are making him regret his words."
"Many Remnants are also just humans , Magical Girls and even Humans with Mana , Chi and others , yet you spare no thought in classifying them as Remnants even if their biology are the same with normal humans."
"At the very least , right I now I beg of you , please let us cooperate for this world , so that we can see another day" I said as I prostrated myself on the ground , truly unbefitting of a leader.
"Do not Prostate yourself Lawrence Lim." The voice of the Pillar of Conclusion could be heard , as I looked at her , still in her Flamescion form.
"We have met before , the same could be said with Ray Grisha and Acheron." She calmly said as countless gasp and surprised gaze could be seen.
"Humans may say that Remnants can end them whenever they wish and that is a fact , however tell me pure humans. Do you truly believe you're Innocent?"
"Violet and Klein Moretti , they were former humans from story they originated from , Lord of the Mysteries and Why am I a Priestess at Max level respectively"
"Yet have you never thought what they felt? When they found out that they couldn't go back? That their entire journey was merely fiction? Entertainment for humans to read?"
"Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint , Lord of The Mysteries , Reverand Insanity , The Beginning after the End , Shadow Slave , novels that many called peak."
"One Piece , Naruto , Dragon Ball , Bleach The big 4 Animes that many considered life changing and the first one to do so."
"Indeed they are beautiful to read and watch respectively , but have you never considered they're suffering? The things we never get to see behind those words or animations."
"Don't give me the crap that they were just fiction , LOOK AROUND YOU THEY'RE AS REAL AS THEY GET"
"In a way , Humans and Remnants are the same. We live , We suffer , We survive , Yes indeed there is no way for us to completely trust each other in a short period of time."
"Time may heal but scars shall forever remain , but as I have declared before it shall have a Conclusion"
"Now then. A question for all you humans , which of you have watched The British Science fiction television Doctor Who? "
Countless humans had raised their hands as those words were spoken.
"And is The Doctor here? Not the one from Arknights. I see the both of you are with Herta's Society. Which regeneration cycle are you at right now" I continued as I my eyes locked onto The Doctor.
"I don't remember" The Doctor said calmly.
"Tell me Doctor , what do you see when you see the 3 of us." She continued
"A Fixed Point in time , An Error" The Doctor continued
"Do You remember when you had to negotiate , with the Humans and Zygons?"
"The key to the most perfect negotiation , Not knowing what side you're on , YOU GENIUS" The Doctor said as He took his Screwdriver.
Klein Moretti followed suit as he fooled reality thus creating another Screwdriver.
"Until this Negotiation is concluded , no one will be able to remember , whether they are Human or Remnant , Interesting indeed~" Violet calmly said as—
—FLASHHH A Blinding light engulfed everything
