Once again Icarus paused. He took a deep breath.

"If Hyperion's clone spreads the faith, the gods will know and they will hunt the clone down. So, they took the alternative of an equivalent energy and that is the power through sacrifice.

The sacrificial souls of the people who were offered as a sacrifice will reach the gods and they merge within the gods to add to their strength. Hyperion's clone gathered a small group of people in Divine Plane Consummation stage.

Then they found a race of people that are best suited for sacrifice.

"

"So, I am guessing the two elders are part of that group and they conducted the sacrifice of that race.

"

"That is not all. They entrapped this race and made them procreate with some special species. Beasts that grew strong enough to assume their human forms. They forced them to procreate and used some special method to make the fetus grow faster and give birth.

The nine month period has been reduced to one month with this device. The babies were delivered and those babies were sacrificed.

The process was repeated again and again, with the women of that race in particular constantly healed, conceived and then the process was repeated. This put an immense toll on those women and their vitality is sucked dry.

Once they become infertile, then they were killed. Offered up as the sacrifice once again. The men in that race were put through a special treatment. The bloodline that they need was purified and refined to become active and they were forced to procreate with other women.

When they conceived more babies, the boys were sacrificed immediately while the girls were grown until they could menstruate. Once again, the whole process repeated. This has been happening for almost a hundred years and it was all under the radar.

The only reason it was brought up was because Hyperion's clone was in a desperate state. His strength apparently was reduced to Divine Plane Transcendent cultivator. So, they conducted a massive massacre to give the original a bit of power boost that increased his strength enough to strengthen his clone directly from tartarus.

"

Icarus just went on with the whole story.

Sam sat there in a frozen state.

Sam is by no means a saint. He has done terrible things. He killed people, families, clans, races, but this is a new low even for a morally compromised person like him. This is way too much even for him to visualize.

"What happened now?

"

"That massive incident attracted way too many eyes. In fact even the Academy started investigating it because there are traces of Titan. However, their mistake was to put Elder Minsk in charge of it.

"

"Fucking Idiots.

"

"Now we have all the details. I captured these two people so that it would be easier to convince the Dean. Only he can take action against this whole thing.

" Icarus spoke.

Sam nodded and said.

"You can actually use the Hub. The simulation room can make a video out of the whole thing. Of course, I am strong enough to make them replay the whole thing in their head, but you guys are.

You can go there and then publish the whole thing through the network of the hub.

In three days, the hubs on the other place will open and on the fifth day you can let the whole Academy realm know of this.

That way, the Zeus Academy cannot just bury this incident.

"

Both Ivar and Icarus exchanged a glance before nodding.

"That works perfect.

"

"I am going to war with the Zeus Academy and a bunch of clans under the Olympian rule.

"

Sam just worked it into the conversation. Both Icarus and Ivar froze.

"WHAT?

"

Both of them asked in unison and Sam explained the situation.

"This came at such a time.

"

Ivar muttered.

"Anyway, contact your friends and come to a decision, in exactly three days, I want your answer. Since the first case can be considered solved, you should be able to make the decision. I have a lot of things to handle.

"

Sam left.

Ivar and Icarus contacted their friends again and they were in deep discussion about the next course of actions. Meanwhile, Sam started contacting his subordinates in the Astral Region of the Academy realm.

A lot of his forces, more than one third of it are currently in the Astral Realm studying in various academies.

It could be said that Sam has one of the biggest Astral Plane forces under him. When he contacted them, he only gave one order.

"I want one thousand Divine Plane cultivators in the Dusk organization within a year.

"

That is all he said. The Dusk organization doesn't lack resources and facilities and many of them are at the Peak for a while, if they push it hard enough, they are for sure capable of achieving this goal.

Many of them immediately went into seclusion. The most promising are the couple of hundred cultivators from the Dragon Hawk tribe. They don't need much enlightenment. They can just cultivate further like Beasts.

They have a great chance at achieving this goal.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye and on the third day, Sam had to travel between the realms on harbinger. He had to be there to activate the hub. The metal puppets and the wrist bands flew all over the regions and the whole Academy realm, is now full of Sam's customers.

Once that is done, Sam went back to the Olympian realm by night. The return however, didn't happen through harbinger. Instead, he used the space gate formation. The space gate formation connected between hubs alone.

He already knew that the communication between these regions will become a problem, so he made a last minute arrangement. Usually, the academies have a very strict rule against the private space gates. However, the hub uses a lot of spatial energy for its regular activities, so the activation of space gate will just be mixed in those energy residues.

They will not find it suspicious.

When he returned, Ivar's group is waiting for him.

"We agree to your proposition.

"

"Alright, as we previously agreed, you guys need to move to your respective locations right now. From now on, you will be living in the Hub. The spirit there will give you the information you need and how to use various functions of the Hub. And I want you guys to not do anything stupid like trying to pry in Hub's secrets. The backlash will be something unbearable.

"

Sam crafted the soul contracts and now officially they are all on the same boat. Sam took them to Hub and sent them all to different Hub locations through the Space gate. Only Icarus was left and he is holding the two witnesses that are required to deal with the two Elders.

"Tomorrow, I will make the announcement and you can also go and talk with Dean of Zeus Academy after that.

"

"Will he grant me the audience?

" Icarus asked. When he left the school, he didn't exactly leave it on good terms.

"

"I am sure he will. The announcement will make it so.

"

The next morning, all the Wrist bands across the Academy realm started glowing with a holographic screen that carried a written announcement.

In the Olympian realm, the notification is like this.

"As of today. Icarus, the former student of Zeus Academy will be the person in charge of managing the Hub of Olympian region. He will act as my representative and all the official meetings and discussions will be done by him. The instructions for the special training program will be still given by me, however, Icarus will be there as the supervisor. He will be responsible for collecting your doubts and passing on to me. Same goes with other operations of the Hub.

With the increase in my work due to the special class, I decided to take this step and hired a competent young man to help me with this.

Please treat him with the respect he deserves as my representative and accept him as the point of contact.

"

The moment the announcement was made, the whole Olympian region shook. Icarus was very famous in the region before.

The biggest shock was from the two Elders who were frantically searching for Icarus over the past few days. When they heard the announcement, their heart turned cold.

They are also panicking because of the disappearance of the two people that were sent to deal with Ivar. There are too many bad signs and they almost went all superstitious on it.

They immediately ran to the Hub to talk with Joker. They wanted to see if Icarus could be bought. They also wanted to know if joker knew about the incident and did this deliberately. They need to investigate a lot of things.

Dean of the Zeus Academy was also stunned by this announcement. But those are not the biggest shocks they are going to experience that day. At around noon, Icarus walked into the Zeus Academy campus, wearing a uniform that was newly created for the hub's staff.

"I need a meeting with your Dean.

"
