Chapter 288: Locked In Part One

"Mitsu…." Chiho felt a wave of tears begin to roll down her cheeks. The voice she had dreamed about hearing for so long, she finally heard. She wondered if she was actually hearing Misaki's voice or if her mind was actually playing tricks on her. 

"Yeah, it's me! Sorry, the place I was sent to has these weird heavenly laws thing that blocks my system. How is everything?" Misaki asked. She could tell Chiho was crying. But she was not sure if it was Chiho being happy to hear from her or if there was another reason. 

Chiho wiped her tears and slowly began to explain the situation. "Right now, we are being overwhelmed. Sato and Gen are seriously hurt, and if this keeps up, we will not be able to survive. We were planning to send the kids away and hide them away with the machine race." 

"Evacuate." Misaki said firmly.

"Huh?" Chiho was actually confused. She did not know if she meant the kids or everyone.

"Abandon it all. Hideout in the machine race. I would recall you all, but this system function will not work with you being in a different universe. The most I can do is talk to you like this. Chiho, I need you to be strong for me. You need to lead the other girls and keep everyone safe. I will get back to you all as fast as I can. But it may be a long time before I can. It seems the gods realm in our universe is very strange. Only the Machine race has a proper way of entering that universe. Chun'er's master explained a lot of things to me. Anyway, now is not the time to talk. I want you to have all the girls pack up everything and retreat. Take our kids, my parents, and my sisters, and get the hell out of there. Your lives are more important than anything! Have the others hold the line and once you are safe, have them disperse and go into hiding. The day I return, I will burn that fucking place to the ground! 

"Always remember Chiho, I love you and the girls very much. If one of you got hurt or died on me, I would lose my mind. So your safety is the most important, do you understand?" Misaki loved her wives and her kids. She cared for all her kin, but when it came time to choose, she would put the safety of her family above the others. And those who died helping her family escape she would avenge by creating a sea of blood in her path.

"Mmm… Mitsu… I… No, all of us miss you so much." Chiho began to tear up again. But she now did not feel as desperate as she did before. With Misaki's words, she felt her heart was now at peace. She knew what needed to be done.

"I know. I will be talking with each of them. You go and start getting things ready. Contact John or Saddi and have them prepare a refuge for you." Misaki paused for a second before continuing, "Chiho, be careful."

"I will..." Chiho said before the connection was broken. She then turned to the other girls who were staring at her in confusion. "Mitsu just contacted me. She will be talking to you all soon. I will begin preparations for us to leave. We are all evacuating. When you finished speaking with her, make sure you get right to work. We got a lot to do."

All the girls looked at Chiho, stunned, and then suddenly Miyu squealed out Misaki's name when she heard Misaki's voice. Just knowing they could speak to Misaki brought a wave of relief for the girls. Misaki was their pillar. Their rock. They all depended on her. 

"Chiho, Mitsu really contacted you?" Misaki Kenji asked.

"Mmm, we are abandoning everything. She wants us to take refuge with the machine race."

"You seem happy, yet sad." Yan said as she looked at Misaki.

"Mmm… Your sisters are in trouble. They were attacked by the angel faction and some unknown race. All I know is when I can finally return to my universe. I will destroy everything in my path. My kin are dying left and right, and more will be sacrificed to save my family. I will honor their sacrifices by bathing in my enemies' blood. But before that, the two of you and I need to grow stronger. So to do this, you will first need to become demons. Only then will you truly become one of my kin." Misaki had not brought this up before since she did not know how long it would be before she would have a chance to actually make them demons. But now that she was in a place that did not abide by the heavenly laws that restricted her system, she could finally offer them this chance. "I will not force you to become demons. This is completely up to you." 

"I will do it!" Yan was the first to instantly agree. 

"I will too." Faarel said right after. The thought of truly becoming Misaki's kin was all they cared about. They wanted to be with Misaki, and if this is what it meant to truly be seen as one of her kin, then they would become demons. The added strength was just a bonus. 

Misaki smiled and pulled the two girls into a hug. "We will first find a safe place. We may even be trapped in this mystic realm for a very long time. Are you still willing?"

"Yes!"Both replied at the same time. 

"Then let's go." Misaki was worried about her other wives and family. But at least in this place, she could keep tabs on them. She just did not know how long it would take before she could leave this place. She had to wait on the girl's evolution and also break the bindings of this mystic realm; if it did turn out, that they would end up being stuck in here.
