"Now that weâve gotten Elysionâs help, what are we going to do next?" Evelyn asked.
"I will go to another continent. At the same time, this might be a perfect chance to help Lunaâs brother, so Luna will be coming with me. I guess I will need one more person. We will depart in three weeks, so anyone who has their divine rule can go. Selena and Vivian are currently the options, but I will still consider the rest."
"Why not me? In addition, how are you going to cross the ocean?" Evelyn asked. "My skill hasnât reached the point where I can connect two continents yet."
"In that case, what if I use my power from the other side? We will connect our power through the teleportation circle. Basically, Iâll open half, youâll open the other half."
"!!!" Evelyn raised her eyebrows. She soon looked down and contemplated. "I think itâs possible. However, the teleportation circles need to be the exact same."
"Itâs your teleportation circle." Nathan shrugged. "Basically, thatâs the plan. You are here to open the gate."
"Does that mean I wonât be fighting in Erendtall?"
"You will be fighting. Once we have taken down the aliens over there, we will return with the teleportation ability. We have to do it manually, but if you and I do it alternately, we should be able to cross the ocean quickly. Only after you have the divine body will we turn the temporary teleportation circle into the permanent one. Maybe only for us."
Evelyn thought for a moment. "I see. That sounds like an option."
"So, who is the top pick this time?" Luna asked.
"I am not so sure." Nathan shook his head helplessly. On the one hand, Selena has good sense and judgment. If she comes, it may lessen the burden a lot. However, there is still a need for a leader to be in charge of the group over here."
"I can do that." Evelyn raised her hand. She and Luna also had the ability to take charge if necessary.
However, Nathan waved his hand, rejecting her. "No. I have another task for you. Right now, we need teleportation circles everywhere. I need you to go around the front line and add a bunch of teleportation circles.
"We need to place them strategically. Right now, we will be facing a large army, so having all these teleportation circles will lessen our burden a lot."
Evelyn was slightly disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. This was the task only she and Nathan could do. Since Nathan headed to the other continent, she had to be the one doing it.
Evelyn thought going to another continent might be better, but Nathan was the one handling the negotiation, so it was obvious she had to stay behind.
"I see." Evelyn sighed. "Still, are we really going to face them? Do we even have a chance? You mentioned earlier that weâre in a hopeless situation against Azathoth."
Nathan smiled. "Iâm just telling you the truth. However, the possibility of winning only disappears if we stop trying. For now, I will continue to make the best choice available and see if we can go against the black cell."
Evelyn couldnât do anything but trust Nathan for this matter. She wanted to help, but it was Nathanâs uniqueness that would allow them to somehow defeat such a being.
Nathan asked, "Luna, Iâm sorry to ask you this while youâre occupied with your own growth, but I need more weapons for the front line."
"Now that I think about it, youâre so adamant about keeping the people alive. Youâre a hero."
Nathan shook his head. He never believed he was a hero. "Not really. If they stay alive, they can last longer against the aliens. The future is unclear, so I want to increase my chances as much as possible.
"Thatâs why I have been doing my best to keep them alive. Besides, if all people die except for us, weâre going to feel lonely.
"Iâm just doing this for my own selfish reasons. I donât care about becoming a hero."
Luna sighed. "So, how are we even going to convince those people? The dynasty might be more suitable, but the empire..."
"No. Even the dynasty wonât look at us that favorably. In a way, they will think that we are the cause of their losses. Thatâs why I have prepared another price. I will need Evelynâs help as well, but it should work just fine. I believe in their greed."
"Greed..." Luna felt helpless. "If only people were going to stop fighting among themselves and forget about their own benefits... we could have won more."
"Not necessarily. If you work harder but still receive no benefit or the same benefit as all other people, you wonât be happy and the morale will be low. At the same time, excessive greed will also ruin you, just a bit later." Nathan added inwardly, âThatâs why communism and capitalism are fighting hard on Earth and all the countries are applying the combination of both.â
"Evelyn, please bring a message to everyone for me. I need Selena to be in charge of the group for the time being. Sera and Flora will start warning the Holy Kingdom and the Azilia Kingdom, but there is no need for reinforcement first. Just let them know that there is a chance for the army to be split and come their way.
"I need Luna to start preparing for war and bring Iris with you. Noelle and Alavenya are to stand by right now.
"Bella will oversee the situation and help Selena manage the group. Vivian will remain in the garden."
"What are you going to do?" Evelyn asked.
"Iâm going to upgrade the domain." Nathanâs expression turned solemn. "The time domain that is linked to this land. I need to create a space where everyone can train for one day outside but actually train for one hundred days inside.
"We donât have to worry about age at this point. Itâs not like our appearance is going to change anytime soon due to the prolonged lifespan of a world class summoner. We will retain the same appearance after creating the divine body anyway.
"So, Iâm going to stretch my domain to the limit, giving us the valuable time to increase our strength."
Evelyn frowned. "Iâm more worried about using too much energy for the contract and the energy from the land rather than appearance at this point."
"Yeah. Thatâs why I have to be there to nurture it."
