The glowing light soon dissipated, and from it emerged a gigantic red orb, that was being sucked in, forced to not detonate, a great deal of energy fully and completely being consumed by the ever-hungry power of the darkest heaviest core in the universe. It was being consumed by a black hole that resided in the depths of the cursed Shield of Ajax.

The energy soon was fully sucked in, and Dave, in his gigantic form was left standing tall, and behind him, a city, damaged, but not destroyed. It would have been wiped out if the calamity of Chaos had managed to self-detonate, and the capital of the North would have fallen, the same as their king had.

Dave smirked, this was good, the battle against this calamity has brought all the players together, it would mean that the world of Conquest will have a strong frontline for the events to come.

"Loot, loot!" Lone's voice came like a banshee's wail in Dave's ears.

"Alright sweetie, I'm going," he replied and headed to where the calamity had fallen.

In the middle of the barren field were the ashen remains of the calamity of Wrath.

Dave knelt and touched the cinders, and a notification screen appeared in front of him

Dave was at a loss, there were many items on the list, but nothing piqued his interest. The armor diagram was good, but he was more than certain that armor from a level 666 calamity was not as powerful as his current War King Armor.

The rest of the weapons were also not appealing, his own Durandal and Ajax were by far the best weapons currently in the game that were below the Arch-God class weapons.

"How are we going to divide the loot?" Warlord asked.

Dave turned to them and said. "I mentioned that I'll be getting first dibs on anything here right?"

Warlord froze up, so did Wan Yi, but the latter was first to speak, "Man, leave me the armor diagram, it fits with my class, I can pay you if you want."

"It's not about money, and honestly I don't need the armor, I'll be taking the quest item," Dave said.

"Right, that sounds fair," Warlord said. Yet an inconspicuous player of the northern region spoke up.

"I don't think that's fair."

Dave frowned, were they going to go back on their word, after all the loot was already in Dave's hands if he wished none of them would get anything, but that will only cause enmity and will ruin Dave's goal in making the players cooperate.

"What do you mean by that?" White Ghost asked.

"Well, he did most of the damage, he actually was the reason that this thing died and also saved the capital. A single item and a quest item that we have no knowledge of the tier is not a fair price for all the help he offered."

"I like that guy," Dave smiled.

The rest of the players looked at each other, and seeing from Dave's lack of interest toward the armor and clearly superior shield and sword, he would only opt to take the only item that had no clear indication of value or appliable use. The Chaos Essence.

"So you want the chaos Essence?" Valentine interjected.

"Yes, I think it will be helpful to me, but Before I take it I'll need to do something first."

Dave grabbed one of the items, the diagram of the armor and in front of everyone, he opened the scroll to read through it.

"Hey man, you said you wanted the chaos essence, why are you reading through the diagram?" Wan Yi spoke up, he was afraid that Dave would lay claim to the armor.

But Dave didn't heed him any mind, as he was reading, he was rubbing his beard

'Hmm, this armor is not bad, it gives a similar buff to my own Chaos Runes when all the armor pieces are put together, but the only drawback is that its own Chaos buff lasts for 20 seconds instead of mine that can last as long as I have HP.

"Sorry, I only checked if the armor needs the Chaos Essence to make, if it did, I wouldn't have taken it and let you guys have it. But since it's not useful to make the armor I won't be polite and I'll be having the essence also. I hope everyone agrees?" Dave said.

Though bitter that they had to give Dave two items from the loot all knew and acknowledged Dave's aid in beating down the calamity.

"Yeah," a collective agreement was heard and Dave was the owner of a quest item and the Chaos Essence.

"I bet Dagla would know what to do with this." Dave grinned.

"So, how do we split the rest?" Warlord asked.

"That's none of my concerns," Dave said, "But the best way is for you guys to auction these, and let the man with the deepest pockets get them," Dave said and left the area leaving the three guilds fighting over the loot, the deadliest fight ever, a fight with gold and silver.

Dave appeared in Urburg, and to his surprise, Nick and Dagla were both there.

"Just the man I was looking for," Dave said.

"Yeah, lord, we have a big problem," Dagla said.

"What now?" Dave asked.

Nick was the one to reply, "Balaam is dead."

"What?" Dave's voice was stuttering.

"Yes, as you heard. He was killed, and Ashkar was behind it along with the robed man and that baldie."

"Balaam…but, he should have seen the attack coming, he could have called you for help."

"I couldn't interfere, I'm a god."

"But I could if you had informed me!" Dave shouted.

"They chose their time well… they assaulted him when you were fighting Oxen Head. This was planned. They wanted Balaam to perish before the great calamities start coming out. Oxen Head was just a prologue to a chapter that will decide the fate of this world."

"Can you bring him back?"

"No. it's impossible, he asked me never to revive him if he were to perish, and even if I could and I would, the three of them made sure that he cannot be brought back."

Dave's rage was boiling, Balaam was a good friend. An old man that steered the fate of this world toward the good, and informed him of many things. Even if they didn't spend a great deal of time together, Balaam was the sort of old grandfather that you would always remember. And his death was sudden.

This fact only caused Dave to seethe in wrathful vengeance.

"Calm down child. With the help of Lord Nicholas, I managed to set up an automated system to take charge of Balaam's tasks. But it will not last for long. We'll need someone to replace him."

"I don't understand what's going on, but what do you mean by someone to replace him?"

"Balaam guarded destiny, he was a seer and the protector of Mt Glory, that mountain is the center of all the ley lines of this world, they all converge and gather there. A great deal of magic goes through that place, and if someone were to tamper with it, and I'm more than certain that it will be tampered with it, the calamites will be our least worries."

"Shit, this is just getting more and more ridiculous."

"Yes, the worst is, there are none that are fit for the seat of Balaam. I have yet to see a person qualified to take the test of Foresight. This is going to be a huge blunder. I'll need your help kid."

"Yeah, I don't even have the right to decline," Dave accepted.

"What did you want me for though?" Dagla asked.

"For this," Dave handed Dagla a small vial with an orange glistening essence.

"Oh my Unholy god, this is the primordial essence of Chaos."

"Yeah, and I have no idea what to do with it," Dave said.

"Well, come with me, I'll show you, and I'm more than certain you will love it, prince!" Dagla giddily said.

"Cool, let's go then."
