875 Prepare Everything Before Sunrise
‘Wouldn’t that be a bit too much? How could humans try to colonize the Underworld? Even if it’s their revenge, I don’t think it’s a good idea. They will only send poor soldiers to their death door. Darkness, it’s your fault for giving them this idea.’ Elysia was worried after the decision for the second discussion was taken.
‘Hehe~ It’s okay, Ely. It’s not that easy to achieve. They will bear the risk themselves.’ Darkness chuckled.
‘Isn’t that fine, Ely? They won’t fight each other because they now have a goal. Their retaliatory invasion won’t be happening anytime soon either.’ Lifa casually replied as if they would not involve themselves.
‘They still have to clean up the demonic practitioners who have contracts with demons from the Underworld. The satanism too. Humans don’t want to feel wronged forever, whether it’s here or in our world.’ Nell felt it was an idea with good future prospects.
‘Before they start their plan, they need a way to open the gates to the Underworld first. Can they do it?’ Rhea was amused at the thought that the revenge plan that Jack had discussed would end up in vain.
‘Well, that’s their problem. If the earthlings managed to go to the Underworld or were even able to establish a civilization on another planet, then that would be perfect. I heard they already have plans to build a civilization on the moon and Mars. They’re actually building lots of spaceships to explore the vast universe!’ Lifa was feeling a bit excited.
‘That way you can easily recruit Gaia? Why do you want her so much in our group, Lifa?’ Elena entered the conversation as she could guess Lifa’s intentions easily.
‘You may not have noticed it yet, but Gaia is a high-tier Goddess from the ancient era. She is actually much more senior than me, but she has always been humble. She also doesn’t talk much, let alone show off her capabilities, but she is the real deal.’ Lifa only conveyed half of her real reason.
‘Even so, don’t try to force her. She had said before that she would join, but not now. She still has some responsibilities and concerns before she can board our ship to explore the vast universe.’ Elena reminded Lifa once again.
‘That, of course, I’m not fond of forcing my will, fufu~’ Lifa chuckled.
“As crazy as it may sound, do you think we are capable of achieving that, General Jack? Our last Underworld incident was a nightmare. If it weren’t for Elysia’s assistance and Sylvia’s help, then we have no idea how many people died in that tragedy.” ‘That, of course, I’m not fond of forcing my will, fufu~’ Lifa chuckled.
“As crazy as it may sound, do you think we are capable of achieving that, General Jack? Our last Underworld incident was a nightmare. If it weren’t for Elysia’s assistance and Sylvia’s help, then we have no idea how many people died in that tragedy.” Mitsuzuka frowned. He felt it was not a good idea because he was there to witness the tragedy when that incident happened.
“We have plenty of time to prepare ourselves. The first thing we need to do is eradicate their roots on our beloved earth. After that, look for the entrance gate. Above all, I’m sure they will not stay silent on this issue.” Jack displayed a list of their plans and pointed to the top two points.
“We’re not going to get involved, you know? That’s your problem with the demons. Your revenge has nothing to do with the law and justice enforceers.” Lifa responded with a plain intonation. Her voice was clear, but it sounded like lightning to everyone’s mind.
Almost everyone thought that Jack’s plan had been approved by the Guardian of Dream, but apparently not.
“No, you will be involved whether you like it or not.” Jack shook his head and glanced at Elysia.
“You’re hoping to drag our Ely? You want too much from a teenage girl who hasn’t even reached adulthood yet. She’s still in training and has a school to attend. Drop the scheme, and you’ll be good.” Lifa waved her hand in front of her face.
“You have plenty of time to prepare yourself. So, use your time well. Humans are good at adapting and evolving, so make the most of it.” Fortuna expressed her conclusion.
“Hmm-mm~ If you all stop your unnecessary wars or silly fights, maybe you can channel everything into that preparation.” Darkness nodded in agreement.
“Well, we’ll see about that later.” Jack only replied with a faint smile.
The meeting then continued with the plans and future prospects with new policies. That day, the higher-ups from various countries decided to take a middle ground and establish a military partnership to build a giant anti-demon fleet. They would use it to exterminate demons to prepare for their entry into the Underworld.
That plan of retaliation to the Underworld would be implemented in the next few years. They would begin their grand plan by exterminating the demons on their earth.
*Bam!*
The door suddenly opened. A grayish-white-haired man walked into the conference room casually. He scanned everyone with his blood-red eyes and found where Elysia’s group was.
Yet, he suddenly noticed a figure like a demon behind a pirate-looking fat man.
“I thought we had driven them to the place of punishment. Why is there still one left?” Xero asked in wonder, then waved his finger. A flash of darkness suddenly emerged from the floor and bound that shadow demon like a prisoner.
“!?” Shadow Clone was utterly surprised by the sudden attack. He was sure that he was invisible to the human’s eyes right now. However, that grayish-white-haired man suddenly tied him with a rope of darkness.
“Mm-mhmm!” Shadow Clone tried to break free, but the ropes of darkness were unbelievably sturdy. He then fell to the floor with a thud.
“What, who are you? an intruder!?” Jack gasped in surprise at the sudden attack. Was his stand defeated in just one move?
“You are responsible for that demon? Well, someone will punish you and him for it.” Xero just shrugged his shoulders and then walked over to Elysia’s group. He took an empty chair and sat there.
“You are very late. The event is almost over.” Lifa heaved a subtle sigh.
“I got a little lost while crossing the ocean. Anyway, is the fun over? I heard someone is trying to challenge us? So, where is the challenger?” Xero rested his head on his hands. He noticed many stares at him, but he didn’t care.
“Tic, can you free that dark-type spirit? He’s not a demon. And, yes, the fun is over. The challenger has also apologized and compensated us.” Elysia facepalmed. She forgot that Xero was quite easy to get lost when his powers were sealed by the Earth Mother.
“That demonic-looking thing is not a demon? I’m feeling a bit dubious, but whatever.” Xero squinted his eyes to check that shadow demon. He then snapped his fingers and released that dark spirit from his dark rope.
“???” Many people were asked what kind of demonic creature was being talked about. They couldn’t see such a creature around.
However, several people above rank six could see Jack’s Demi-God stand was defeated with just a single move by that grayish-white-haired man! Furthermore, that man was another member of the Guardian of Dream!
“Yeah, we’re done here. We’ll be back soon.” Lifa glanced at the girls. It was time for them to leave. “Jack Vazquez, we are waiting for good news from you. I hope you can get everything ready before sunrise tomorrow morning.”
“Before the sun rises tomorrow morning!? That’s too soon!” Jack gasped in surprise. He agreed to their request because the government would bear it, not him. But if everything had to be prepared before tomorrow, it would become a mission impossible.
“We expect a lot from you. Here, I will give you a little gift.” Lifa took out a fresh fish of heavenly quality and sent it in front of Jack.
“Do you think your gift can speed up the process?” Jack frowned.
“We don’t know, but I know you can do it. Since our business is over, you can move on to the next plan without us. Please excuse us.” Lifa waved her hand, and her entire group disappeared from the conference room.
‘Erina, until we meet again~’ Elysia sent telepathy before going outside.
‘Ellie, wait a second! Are you going straight back to your world?’ Erina immediately asked somewhat frantically.
‘No, it’s tomorrow morning.’ Elysia glanced at Erina in invisibility.
‘Then can we meet after this? I want to meet you before you leave.’ Erina said her request with a hint of pleading tone.
‘Of course. Can we wait for you at your penthouse in Tokyo? I still have the key you gave me. You may come with your father and grandfather if you wish. After this meeting is over, please come see us soon, Erina~’ Elysia waved her hand before leaving the conference room. She knew Erina could see her even though she was in invisibility as she allowed Erina to see her.
‘All right, thank you. We’ll be right back.’ Erina heaved a sigh of relief. She wanted this event to end as soon as possible and returned to Japan.
“…” Jack scratched his head in confusion. He racked his brain about how he could prepare all the Guardian of Dream’s wish lists in one day.
Some materials and items could be tricky to fulfill, and what about a complete communication system like the satellites!?
Even though Jack felt it was an impossible mission, he still shared all the details related to that request with the government. He demanded many people prepare everything as soon as possible.
After sending the details using his smartphone, he secured the beautiful-looking fresh fish into a special bag.
The fish was like a medium-sized tuna, but it was bright white in color and looked very delicious. No one knew what kind of fish it was, but it was easy to guess it wasn’t just a high-quality fish.
Several people tried to ask about the secret deal between America and the Guadian of Dream, but Jack was tight-lipped about it.
Everyone was a little astonished. At first, America seemed to be challenging the Guardian of Dream to ask Xentia, a member of the Guardian of Dream, to be returned to America. However, the two parties now seemed to be working together on something, not against each other.
Only the group from the Minamoto Clan knew the deep details regarding Xentia. That was strange because some other countries should have known, but apparently not that much? However, Mitsuzuka and Kenji decided to leave matters aside.
The high-level meeting was continued until the end of the event. After that, the group from Japan immediately excused themselves to leave.
