Battle of Ascension

Chapter 502: Divine Empyrean

The next day, Randy met Oubin again. The same as yesterday night, Oubin came with his two brothers, Limera, and Hermione.

The different was Wisen with Randy today. He already told his father about Oubin proposal regarding a nation. Surprisingly, his father interested and decided to join today meeting.

They entered the same discussion as yesterday, establishing a nation. Oubin did not give up yet, he still wanted to establish a nation. Moreover, he still made the same choice, choosing Happy Guild as the partner.

Amongst the five, Randy noticed Oubin's brothers, Arabin and Poli had an unhappy look. It seemed both had a disagreement or something made them unhappy. But Randy did not care about them. He was more interested in what Oubin would say to him.

"Sacred Tortuga is willing to join the Happy Guild. Let's establish a nation!"

However, Oubin first statement could be said was the result for today talk. Oubin was willing to concede Sacred Tortuga. This surprised Randy, he did not expect this would come. He thought Happy Guild and Sacred Tortuga impossible to merge except one of them willing to yield.

Randy himself already told them firmly about that. With an exception Sacred Tortuga willing to be governed under Happy Guild, it was impossible for them to merge. This statement telling them Happy Guild and Sacred Tortuga were not equal.

"Do you agree, right?" Oubin inquired with a hardened face.

He already yielded this much, if Randy still did not agree, maybe he would explode as his brother did. After a talk with Hermione, Oubin decided to yield at this.

Yes, Hermione was the one who convinced him to yield. Though Hermione did not do it in a direct way, she did it indirectly.

Actually, he was still upset about yesterday talk. Oubin decided to ask his daughter-in-law opinion. This time, Hermione told her idea truthfully. Randy would reject his proposal to establish a nation.

She bared the reasons for Randy rejection. For example, now Happy Guild was one of the most territories and forces. Not only that, it was known that Happy Guild was the strongest force.

Of course, Oubin also knew about this. If he did not know, how could he choose Happy Guild as the partners to build a nation? But he believed Sacred Tortuga was not weaker than Happy Guild.

Here, Hermione asked him a question, could Sacred Tortuga win against over ten guilds with two big guilds in it?

Oubin knew his daughter-in-law was talking about the incident a month ago. Warlord and Ravendawn Empire, these two giant guilds declared war against Happy Guild. Even with the help of over ten medium guilds, Happy Guild crushed them in a short time.

Moreover, there was still an event that could not be explained. The destroyed of four medium guilds force in one night. No one knew what Happy Guild and no one knew how Happy Guild achieved this.

Then, could Sacred Tortuga achieve if it was them in Happy Guild's position? The answer was clear, he knew deep inside his heart. The answer was a big NO.

Oubin knew how strong his guild was. He was clear about his own guild strong. Even though Sacred Tortuga could win, but Sacred Tortuga could achieve what Happy Guild did.

Only this one question, it was enough to convince him that Sacred Tortuga and Happy Guild was not equal. With just a question, Hermione convinced him the difference between Sacred Tortuga and Happy Guild was big.

Then Hermione put a bomb in another statement. Randy single-handedly killed a Divine Grade Native. Killing another Divine Grade Native was a normal feat. What did it mean? It meant Happy Guild was growing even stronger during the World Contest.

It proved with Happy Guild came up as the first place of the World Contest. He knew that he was taking advantage of his son friendship, but then he realized he overlooked many things. Moreover, Hermione also told him there was no advantage Happy Guild got from merging with Sacred Tortuga.

After all, Happy Guild could still establish a nation by themselves. The strongest force was still attached to Happy Guild even without Sacred Tortuga.

With all of this bared in front of him, Oubin realized merging with an equal status was impossible. Even it was him didn't agree with this. Then he threw another question, should he continue to establish a nation with Happy Guild?

Hermione answer was a firm yes which surprised him. Even though Sacred Tortuga gained a big advantage merging with Happy Guild, but it was in one condition, they merged in equal status.

However, Hermione once again convinced why they had to lower their stance. His daughter-in-law told him about Ascension World, a world that they fight over for.

She was telling that the fight and war they experienced was nothing in comparison with the war in Ascension World. Hermione stated the current Sacred Tortuga could not survive in a week if they were in Ascension World. But of course, they still had more time to grow before they could go to Ascension World.

But by merging with Happy Guild, they could grow even faster. With Happy Guild current properties, from the smithy, potion maker, and rune, Sacred Tortuga was left behind by a huge margin.

Of course, it was not that Sacred Tortuga could not catch up. It was not impossible, but hard and took a long time. In order to catch up Happy Guild, firstly they needed more territories. They had to wage war against the other guild in Africa to take more territories. After all, the territories in Africa already divided evenly.

The problem was Limera. Limera would never agree to start the war. Meanwhile, Limera himself was an important figure of Sacred Tortuga. If Sacred Tortuga guild member had to elect the Guild Leader by vote, Oubin believed his son would be chosen as a Guild Leader rather than him.

Facing such a situation, Oubin decided to yield. Even though Sacred Tortuga lost its lofty status by merging, but Randy would not treat them unjustly. Hermione and his son agreed with this point.

As for Limera's opinion? He loved the idea of merging, but he still compiled his order whether it was a merge or not. After all, even both guilds did not merge, they could still cooperate.

In the end, Oubin decided to yield and merge with Happy Guild which caused Arabin and Poli opposition.

Randy surprised, but then he smiled brightly.

"Of course. Let's build a nation!"

His answer was clear and looked easy. It was as if he did not care about the nation. Of course, it was not that he did not care. He took this seriously.

"Then we should talk about the concrete plan!" Oubin directly entered the core, but Randy stopped him.

"Before we talk further, we should choose the name first. We have to name our nation, do you agree?"

As soon as Randy finished, Limera instantly voiced his idea, "What about Happy Tortuga? It's a great name!"

But, Limera only received a strange stare by the people around him. Even his wife, Hermione gave him a weird stare who always on his side.

"What? It's a great name, right? Happy Guild and Sacred Tortuga, then it will be Happy Tortuga." Limera tried to explain where he got this "Great Name".

In the end, the others ignored him. It was a crystal clear to everyone. Even he did not explain it, everyone would know the name resulted in combined both guilds name.

"Rejected!" Randy without hesitation turned down his friend opinion and followed by a nod of the others.

It was his mother who came up with Happy Guild, not him. So he did not want to use the same name for a nation. After all, this was the first nation since the Battle of Ascension.

"What about Earth? We are representing Earth in Ascension World. Earth Nation sounds good!" Oubin did not care about his son's disappointment and voiced his idea. He also attached great importance to the name.

"Why don't you use Fire Nation instead!?" Randy rolled his eyes, "Rejected! Too mediocre!" Randy without hesitation. Even though Earth was a planet where he grew up, he did not care.

"Phoebus! an epithet of Apollo, used in contexts in which the god was identified with the sun. We will become a sun of Ascension World!" Randy voiced his idea passionately.

"Why don't you call Moon instead!? Rejected!" Oubin got his revenge.

Randy only got an outright rejection. Not only Oubin, but even his wives and father also did not agree. In the end, he lowered his dejectedly while thinking another name.

"What about" Poli voiced his idea but received another outright rejection. Randy was the loudest.

"Rejected!"

"What about"

"Rejected!"

"Rejected!"

In the end, the talk reached a deadlock. No one could come up with a name that satisfied all sides. They had to end the talk here.

Oubin stormed out unhappily as all his ideas were rejected. The same for Randy. They decided to continue tonight.

The next day, Randy and Oubin caused an uproar to the world. They announced to merge and establish a nation. They came up with a bold name for the nation.

Divine Empyrean!
