EMERGING CONFLICT

I have been preparing for a decade.

Ten years of watching, waiting, gathering information, strengthening my forces, and observing every major change that happened across the world. For ten years, I deliberately avoided making any major move that could expose my intentions, because once I started the invasion, there would be no reason to turn back.

And now, I think I am finally done preparing.

There are still countless things that could go wrong, but I have already accepted that perfection does not exist. At some point, preparation has to end and action has to begin.

This is no longer about building my forces. It is about the final execution.

I stared into the distance, allowing my thoughts to settle as I reviewed everything I had accumulated throughout the last decade. Every soldier, every Pantheon, every Constellation, every angel, every warrior waiting within the Underworld, and every advantage I had carefully prepared would soon have a purpose.
