Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"Enough with this nonsense!" The blue haired General, General Vlad, yelled while releasing his terrifying violent aura to attack Raven.

Something like this would usually be considered a legal offense as it's basically attacking a superior.

However, he could not tolerate the young girl anymore! Even if it was the Commanding General Arkan's decision, if this girl can't withstand his aura then she's not eligible to be their temporary Commanding General.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Raven didn't panic but instead smiled as she raised her hand to prevent her subordinate from taking action. Abbadon's temperament was rather… extraordinary, after all, and she didn't want him to murder one of the Generals that would soon be of use to her.

Instead, in a blink of an eye, she simply released her own aura to counter the General's.

General Vlad's aura was like a vicious tiger that was about to devour its prey while, on the other hand, Raven's aura was calm like an ocean that threatened to swallow the world whole!

Naturally, even a viscous tiger was no match for the deep majestic ocean!

To everyone's surprise, in mere seconds, General Vlad's aura was broken like fragile pieces of glass as Raven's aura pushed past it and settled in the room, giving everyone a hard time breathing.

The Generals were shocked and left gasping for air!

"What?"

"How could this be?"

"She's a mere Star Three while General Vlad is Star Seven…"

"This aura and pressure…"

"Stop it!"

"Is Vlad really this weak… no, it must be the girl!"

"Ms. O'Bannon!"

The last shout was Deputy General Scott's plea as he was having a hard time breathing.

With a satisfied nod, Raven retracted her aura. 

"I believe everyone is satisfied now?" Raven raised her eyebrows. "I assume you do believe my claim? Even combined, you can't win against me."

She was simply stating a fact and now everyone had no choice but to believe her! 

They all nodded. Even though it made absolutely no sense, they didn't dare deny her claims lest they suffer the pressure of her aura once again.

Their power levels were not low. In fact, some of them had already reached Star-8, but they still didn't understand what had just happened.

"In any case," Raven said in a calm manner while disregarding the events that have just unfolded as nothing but mere children's play. "Now that we have gotten the unimportant matters out of the way, I believe most of you are more interested in what I was doing before coming here, correct? You've all asked about the reason I kept you waiting…"

"Yes Commanding General O'Bannon," the young female General nodded while trying to conceal the cold sweat on her face from behind her elegant fan. The feeling of Raven's aura weighing down on her was still fresh in her mind. 

"Ms. O'Bannon, please enlighten us!" General Kai was naturally curious as well. He hadn't believed that this young girl he was chatting with before had such cards up her sleeve.

"Uhm," Raven nodded as a serious expression surfaced across her face. "The reason I was late was because I had used one of my methods to acquire some information and-

*sigh* 

"The invasion is happening tomorrow… tomorrow at dawn. Today's dusk… it's the last dusk if we don't work together to repel the invaders!"

Her voice was grim yet calm, indicating that she wasn't just spouting nonsense, but was telling the truth.

Everyone left soft gasps as they heard her words.

"Commanding General O'Bannon, you must be joking!"

"Commanding General, we understand that we've crossed the limit, we've been disrespectful," General Meng said, trying to prevent himself from shivering. "But please don't joke about this manner!"

"I am most definitely not joking," Raven sneered in a cold tone. "Why do you think I've been tolerating your audacity up until now, huh? I wanted to prove to you idiots that I am no joke and everything I say is the truth, no matter how absurd it may sound!

"Additionally, hasn't Deputy General Scott already explained that the reason I was given this position temporarily was because I know the most? So, enough with your arrogance already!

"The only reason I'm giving you face in the first place is because Earth, our home planet, needs all of us to combine our efforts and stand together! Many of you have a power level that surpasses Star-5 which is why I need your help; each of you is a General that is qualified to command the EDA forces and lead the civilians in their respective regions! Now is the time you act like proper Generals and protect your people!

"Anyhow, we've already wasted enough time! Ultimately, whether you believe me or not is not my concern as I could not give a sh*t about your opinions! 

"However, now is a crucial moment so listen up: I will relay my orders for tonight and tomorrow, memorize every word I say, or better yet, take notes!"

Feeling the chill in her voice, none dared disobey or take her words lightly. In a matter of seconds, they all had a large notepad with a pen in front of them as they were ready to write down her orders.

…

After about half an hour, Raven and Abbadon left the Generals to make preparations as they strolled out of the EDA headquarters.

"Lady Raven," Abbadon called in a calm voice, but he couldn't hide the fact that he wasn't satisfied with how things had unfolded. His rage wasn't easy to extinguish!

"Uhm, what is it, Abbadon?" Raven smiled.

"May I speak freely, Lady Raven?" He asked in the same calm manner.

"Of course, please do!" Raven seemed interested. 

She has always been trying to get Abbadon to act normally around her, yet she was never able to achieve that. But now he seemed to suggest that himself all of a sudden. Even temporarily, it was quite interesting her eyes.

"Is it really worth it?" He asked while turning a cold face towards the EDA building they were leaving behind. "They're all arrogant b*stards, do you speculate that they'd be able to really help us? Will they be able to make the correct choices or sacrifices when the time comes?"
