Chapter 1322 A Step Forward

Kisuke was standing inside the monitoring room that Mayuri had prepared and watching every movement of the graph on the screens.

"We'll be establishing a preliminary connection within 2 minutes. Start the primary checks." Mayuri, the only other person in the room with Kisuke, reminded his team through an intercom.

[Primary checks initiated. All values are within the predicted model. Proceeding to phase 2.] Kisuke could hear Akon's voice from the speaker.

This exchange happened until Kisuke heard Akon say [Connection established. Proceeding through stress tests.]

As soon as this was said, Kisuke could immediately feel the uptick in the density of Magic Power. Although it's still not that much, it's still an exponential increase and will soon match what the other worlds are getting from the Dimensional Gap.

But along with this, Kisuke also felt the terminal in his inventory that's only reserved for emergency contact, ring, "Hmmm?"

Mayuri turned in his direction and saw him take out a phone, "What's wrong?"

Kisuke didn't answer immediately and read the message carefully. It came from Sona and its contents are short and summarized reports of the current events. What caught his attention, however, was the possibility of an Evie already reaching the Dungeon World and their plans to retreat to a secure corner of that world.

There was also a note that Yoruichi wanted him to move in secret but that's not important right now, "I'm sorry Kurotsuchi-san, but it looks like we'll have to implement that along with settling."

"What happened? I thought we were going to do that once everything stabilized."

"The defenses on the other side have been breached. We can't afford to wait for that anymore." Kisuke approached the console and started tapping on it, bringing out new programs on the screen, "It's going to be a bit risky, but it's still worth it considering what's in line."

Mayuri stared at him for a short moment before sighing, "I still don't understand. So what if the defenses of that world were breached? I don't think your enemies would immediately aim for this one."

Kisuke could only smile wryly at his response, "Normally, that is... The problem is that those guys would go ballistic if they ever discover a Shinigami, Hollow, Quincy, or Fullbringer and probably will start a full-scale invasion if they knew there are a lot of us." He continued tapping on the keyboard and sent additional instructions to the members of the 12th Division, "I'll send the Etoulde and Evie basic profiles to you later along with some historical and cultural information. Once you've gone through that, you'll understand what I'm feeling too."

"Fine. Akon. Prepare the Spirit Wall implementation. We'll do it along with the merger."

[...Is that really okay? Wouldn't it be dangerous?]

"That's not nothing. What happened?" Any news about Kisuke is far from nothing for Ajuka.

Serafall contemplated it for a moment and decided to just say it, "Apparently, Sona-chan and others found traces of Evies arriving in the Dungeon World."

"What!?" Azazel exclaimed and even Ajuka's eyes widened.

"Hold on... How did that happen?"

Serafall shook her head, "I don't know. I just received a short message a few days ago. If you want to know more, you'll have to ask Sona-chan for details. Ki-tan will have to remain here to secure the border and prevent any unauthorized entry."

"Then what's going to happen to the gate the Ouroboros Academy is managing?" Azazel asked. He could already tell what sort of action they would take but he still had to ask.

"They are going to let it go. Since the enemies already have access to the other side, they'd rather let everyone else go through and slow down their advancement."

"...It might devolve into senseless violence." Ajuka muttered to himself, "I doubt they'll go after the Dungeon entrances, but the territories besides that are going to be up for grabs."

"We'll probably be swamped by work once again, huh..." Issei regretfully says. Since the DxD Team is a peacekeeping organization, they would have to act as police to prevent any large-scale conflict.

"Not just that..." Serafall added before standing up and walking towards the door, "It seems that the Etoulde and Evie activities will exponentially increase. Please watch out for their spies."

"Where are you going, Serafall-sama?" Seekvaira asked curiously.

But contrary to her complicated expression earlier, Serafall was now grinning happily as if she just decided on something big that she wouldn't regret no matter what, "Before I go back, I'm going to bother Ki-tan as much as I want!"

As Serafall left everyone stunned, it was Kuisha who said something that woke everyone up from their stupor, "Should we expect a Sitri heir?"

"Stop that." Seekvaira retorted, "You'll give Dylan Sitri a heart attack if he hears you."
