Chapter 1431: Worries

"Seriously, you guys... What am I going to do to any of you..." Evelyn crossed her arms. She rarely got angry, but when she did, no one could really say anything.

There were only two people who were spared from the lectures. The first one was Nathan, while the other was Revon.

"Vivian..." Evelyn narrowed her eyes.

"Y-Yes." Vivian didn’t dare to look Evelyn in the eye.

"I know that Soul Eater is your target, but think about whether your actions will be good or not. Even if you achieve your revenge, what will happen if the others die in the process?"

"..." Vivian rubbed her cheek, ashamed. "But... I managed to sever his left arm."

"Yes, but the black cell would probably just regrow that arm."

Vivian couldn’t argue any longer.

"I’m not telling you not to get your revenge. I just do not want you to get obsessed with it. Soul Eater won’t get away. I can assure you that."

"I’m sorry..."

Nathan smiled wryly. They were truly having a hard time. After killing Fated, both of them chased all the Sleeping Garden members.

Nathan found her and Regina chasing after Soul Eater. More importantly, Soul Eater was actually running in Frequency’s direction.

If he continued any further, they would most likely regroup with Frequency. Evelyn might get severely injured or even die if she were careless.

Nathan was fortunate enough to stop her before it was too late. It was true that Frequency was completely locked by Luna, but the scale of the battle had grown to such a terrifying level. In addition, there were other people in the area.

Frequency could disappear into the crowd and launch a sneak attack. That was what Nathan would probably do.

Evelyn turned to Neyeid. "You think you are something just because you managed to injure Alex Tear? Don’t forget that Grand Duke Johnson did most of the stuff. One careless moment was all it took for him to kill you. The chase made that probability even higher."

Neyeid looked away, unable to reply.

"If you don’t want to be lectured by me, you should become a crystal fusion stage summoner first before attempting such a dangerous thing."

"I’m sorry." Neyeid lowered his gaze.

Evelyn turned to the rest of the team. "And you guys..."

She ultimately let out a long sigh as if she didn’t want to get angry any longer. In the end, it had already happened. It was better for them to use this time to improve and avoid the same mistake.

Besides, she could understand their obsession with revenge. They were just one step away.

Some had managed to injure them quite severely, like chopping off their arms or legs. So, if they could just take one step further, they might succeed.

But Evelyn had no choice but to stop them. The revenge was one thing, but it wouldn’t do any good if they ended up dying because of it.

Luna was just sitting in the corner, watching the entire process. She had done her job to keep Frequency busy. She walked to Nathan and tugged his sleeve.

"Yeah?"

"Lecturing them is good and fine, but there is one big problem in your plan." Luna raised one finger. "It’s the godfather himself. I’m equal to Frequency, but if we attack them right now, he won’t be the only one we have to deal with. The Godfather is strong, even stronger than Frequency."

"..." Nathan fell silent. It was indeed a problem. In the end, even if they could get their revenge, it wouldn’t be over until they killed the godfather.

And to do that, they had to somehow bypass Frequency.

Nathan could only help to bypass the gap by increasing his familiars’ strength. If they could use more divinity, they could overwhelm the power of the rules that the godfather had.

Still, it was unlikely for the godfather to only have one rule. He must already have multiple rules and be very close to godhood.

That was why the battle would be incomparably harder.

"That leaves me with only two choices. Either I have to make my familiars reach a big threshold or I have to summon another familiar."

"I’m not really sure about that. After all, we have to somehow stop Frequency." Luna shook her head.

"That’s what I’m thinking about." Nathan scratched the back of his head. "Right now, my biggest trump card is my familiar. Their divinity will be useful against our enemy, but..."

"You can’t be anywhere. You can try fighting Frequency, but it will be hard. You can try challenging the godfather, but even if you get stronger, there is one fundamental difference. Your basic strength. Without it, you can’t do much even with your familiars."

Luna was telling the truth. Nathan could summon the familiars to fight him, but the enemy possessed a lot of ena. To defeat them, his familiars would also have to spend a considerable amount of ena.

In one assault, they had to conserve their stamina to reach the godfather and use the remaining ena to kill him.

But this also meant they needed to move extremely fast. If they had been late, the godfather might have killed the ones who had been tasked with stopping him.

"I will think about it later. We still have some time, so it’s best for me to get stronger as quickly as possible."

"In that case, I will see whether I can condense another rule before the final fight or not. It’s a shame that we can’t interrogate those people."

"Well..." Nathan scratched the back of his head. "Anubis has spent all his ena to heal everyone, so it can’t be helped. It’s not like we can retain their souls here without him."

"That’s true. Soul ability is very rare after all."

"How about you take it easy for the time being? I’m going to handle the rest. Most likely, I will have to hunt more aliens soon."

"Do you need my help?" She stopped for a moment. "Never mind. If I help you, it will decrease my chances of condensing the second rule. Besides, it’s best for you to stop Evelyn. It’s good to lecture them, but she will probably need to condense one rule if she wants to fight the godfather."

"I’ll tell her about it." Nathan waved his hand, watching Luna go back before stopping Evelyn.
