Trying to repeat what I did using just artefacts? And few of them? That dude was indeed quite naive.
He was getting played by that god of his, making me sigh. If I was him, I'd do everything according to my will, then go and find that damn god and do everything in my power to kill him.
Putting aside that weird and complicated issue, I made up my mind about my next move.
I'd go to the jumper world and try to help these dudes out there. According to Lily, the enemies there didn't manage to trick the jumper race like they did with the gods.
War there was constant, and the number of enemies there and their preparations were quite scary.
I didn't know if the jumper race were getting the upper hand there or were suffering immense losses. According to Lily, the forces we sent there still didn't meet a single one of these jumpers yet.
They could see them fight far away, but there were tons of enemies between the two sides.
I planned to go there, kill too many of those fiends and their forces, before meeting up with the jumpers.
I'd spend ten days there before coming back and spending the rest of the time collecting bones, gears, and building up my forces.
I left tons of warriors behind for the gods to bless. If the battle out there got stabilised fast, then all of these would merge together and form a scary force that would be enough to sweep the entire worlds of this quest clean.
But I knew taking down that world of gods would take much longer than the time left for the opening of the angelic world. So I got to work with whatever I got, and build up enough army to take down whatever awaited me in the angelic world.
If the gods and jumpers' two worlds proved to be a headache, if the home bases of those fiends proved to be troublesome, then I'd expect a hellish fight waiting for me in the angelic world.
To the enemy, none of this mattered. The only thing they placed as top priority was that angelic world. And the aim of the enemy from the start was to slowly weaken my forces, slowly chipping parts of my strength away with each battle and world I got into.
If the enemy allowed me to get into the angelic world from the start, then things would end for the better. I'd place as much importance as them over that world.
But now? I got much of my forces scattered around, fighting to hell in many worlds and places. After the passage of all this time, and when the gate to the angelic world would open, I'd not be able to withdraw a single troops back from any place.
That enemy… They calculated everything in quite a meticulous way! They made sure that by the time the big and final battle would erupt, most of my forces would be busy fighting in other unimportant places.
The angelic world was special. It wasn't just facing enemies, it was on the verge of destruction. And that meant the time available for me to save it was so small, not enough for other battlefields to finish.
Without winning any world here, I'd have my hands tied down and wouldn't be able to take back any forces I already threw away.
But if the enemy thought that I'd be desperate and powerless, then they were gravely mistaken! Their plan looked perfect, but it didn't completely follow their setting at all.
The fatal and biggest mistake happened was the god race! These elites were enough to turn any force and race to be one of the top forces in any universe.
They were now quite busy dealing with their enemies, but soon enough they'd be able to get blessings and be able to meet other gods from distant holes.
By that time, it'd be safe for me to do my deadly move.
Not to mention I still got tons of warriors inside my inventory, endless number of bones, and a hellish number of soul points getting added per minute.
The number of souls increased by double, exceeding the two hundred billion mark by now and getting closer to the three hundred billion mark.
Such an increase told me that aside from the hellish battles here, my forces back at Earth were facing great trouble.
Or else just from the number of dead falling on the weapons and hands of my forces here wouldn't be enough to raise that number by such magnitude.
I got to end this quest damn fast, or else my forces back home would face a much worse end.
There was something on my side, the time difference given to anyone taking part in this quest. However, out of late, something must have happened and that time difference got slightly weakened.
I'd not remove the possibility of the enemy paying a hefty price to affect that time difference element. And that told me the enemy already got connected with the trending news outside, got to learn about what was going on back home.
Even if I was helping Hescos elites here, and even if we reached a middle ground deal between us, the Hescos back at home wouldn't follow such an agreement.
I have little time here, and I should make the best out of it.
"Oh, you brought more good dudes along this time," when Lily arrived, she couldn't help but comment on the fifty generals standing on my side.
"They are leaders from the god race," I didn't take the trouble to personally introduce every single one of them, "you'll take half, and I'll keep the other half by my side."
"Hmm… Sounds like you are about to finally get serious," Lily looked at me for a few seconds in a weird way before laughing.
"Serious? What does that mean?" Toramos on her side didn't get her remark.
