D-day #480

As the morning sun rose and showed itself on the eastern horizon, hundreds of thousands of people were seen gathering at the large field in front of the Bali headquarters. Currently, all the military personnel that Bali headquarters had were dispatched outside the island.

A total of 3 divisions with 80.000 fighters each and 6.000 elite troops had been assigned to this large scale operation. Eighty percent of fighters in Bali were deployed to form this special force with the aim to destroy all the Abyss Holes in Java Island, cleaning the island from the threats of zombies and Abyss creatures.

Jerry was mandated as the highest leader of this operation, accompanied by Karra, who was a military officer. This combination was the perfect choice to carry out this mission. Having placed his trust on them to execute the plan Alex could rest in peace and focus on his other tasks.

In the past 2 days, Alex had spent all the time and energy he had to create tier 3 weapons to equip these fighters with the best equipment possible. In 48 hours, taking minimum rest, Alex managed to create a thousand weapons to distribute to 100 members of [Boss Killing] special force and each captain of the elite troops..

1000 of these tier three artifacts cost a whole month of the Base gross profits from selling magic raisins, hardened weapons and all other items. That's around 3 000 000 spirit stones. A very huge amount of spirit stones, but Alex knew these tier 3 artifacts were essential to deal with what they will be facing in the future.

This Tribulation Force would head towards Java Island by a ferry at Gilimanuk harbour. They then began making their way to the west of Bali Island, forming a very long and thick line.

After giving his encouragement and sending off the Tribulation Force on their way, Alex immediately made his way to the Bali harbor. There, a ship containing the representatives from Egypt and the monitoring team Alex prepared to leave for the Middle East was anchored.

Theo, Rama, Daisy, along with the thirty of his best fighters were assigned by Alex for this covert operation. Before the group left, Tommy asked Alex if he could join the group to accompany Daisy. Unfortunately for him, Alex immediately rejected the idea due to various reasons. 

One of them was because he was still too young to venture so far away, especially into the enemy territory. The other reason was that Alex had other plans for Tommy. The doomsday pillars detected dozens of spirit enhancers who are still underage and Alex's plan to form a new younger generation spirit enhancers team that will be nurtured from young.  Tommy already following Alex the last 9 month will be the best candidate to connect and become the leader of the group. When Tommy heard Alex's logical reasoning, he could only helplessly agree and said his goodbye to Daisy, telling her to pay attention to her safety.

Alex handed over the artifacts he had prepared for their operation to Theo and Rama due to his trust at them. Rama, who had been staying in Bali for a year due to his responsibility of guarding the headquarters, was truly excited for this mission as he couldn't wait to take some actions after all this time.

Meanwhile, Theo was specially chosen by Alex to deal with Hafiz, which they would certainly face later. Because of Hafiz's speciality in mental abilities, Alex truly needed someone like Theo. Moreover, with the fact that Theo was a former pastor, he may be able to sway and help those people who were given the false promises of salvation.

Before the ship sailed, Theo approached Alex. "When will you join us? How will you get there?"

"Just occupy the closest Doomsday Pillar you can find there and I will find you in a week's time. I promise." said Alex, giving a vague answer as to how he would get there later.

Seeing Alex didn't plan to elaborate, Theo nodded his head and boarded the ship. The ship then swiftly left the harbour as it sailed towards its destination. After the departure of the group, the next groups to depart from Bali would be those of President Rico and Regent Suryo.

Their groups would leave Bali Island and go to their respective headquarters. Along with them were Aria and Arief, who regretfully had to leave as well. Alex himself was certainly not willing to let them go, the two of them were his top two fighters. However, a promise was something that had to be fulfilled when made. Therefore, he had to let them leave.

There was also the fact that there wasn't much Alex could do to help them to increase their strength at the moment. Thus, the two of them would be better off helping Regent Suryo to clean Sumatra Island from zombies and Abyss creatures.

Clasping Alex's hands, Regent Suryo said, "Thank you for the hospitality, Alex. I actually wish I could stay longer."

Upon hearing that, Alex quickly said, "Actually, if you like living here I would be very happy to receive you again as my guest. In fact, forget receiving you as a guest, you can live here permanently if you like."

The man chuckled when he heard Alex's offer. "There's no need for that, Alex. At times like this, I will not settle a quiet life. I has enough of it already," the regent replied.

Nodding his head to show he understood, Alex noticed Aria who was ready to leave.

Noticing Alex's gaze at Aria, Regent Suryo patted his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I can tell you have treated my granddaughter really well. So for that, I'm grateful. I know she still wants to stay with you, and so do you. However, I guess this is for the best." After saying that, he immediately went to the ship.

The next person who approached him was President Rico. The man once again showed his concern regarding the operation in the Middle East. Alex just told him to focus on the cleansing operation in Java Island, while he took care of that matter. President Rico nodded and expressed his gratitude again before he boarded the ship.

As Alex turned his attention away from President Rico, he noticed Aria who was walking to him. When she had approached him, Aria looked a little hesitant to say something. But after a moment, she looked at Alex and said, "If you want… I'll stay."

Alex was surprised by Aria's words. Seeing his reaction, Aria got even bolder. "I'm sure you need me for your mission. My skill will-"

"I'm thankful for your offer, Aria." Alex said, as he cut her words off. "Aria, I'm truly grateful for your company. And honestly, I feel much better with you by my side. However, this time, please help your grandfather...  he needs you. Do you understand me?"

Aria was silent for a moment before answering, "I understand."

"Thank you, Aria." Alex said. He then gently ruffled her hair. "Please take care of your grandfather and yourself, alright?"

Aria didn't say anything and nodded her head. She then turned around and walked towards her grandfather, who was already waiting for her on the ship deck. But then, she suddenly stopped on her tracks and turned around as he walked back slowly towards Alex and hugged him.

She then whispered a sentence to Alex, "I will come to you as early as possible." Aria then released her hug and immediately ran towards the ship.

Alex thought it was fortunate that there were not that many people here who saw that. However, a familiar voice suddenly coming out of nowhere shocked him to the core.

"Daddy, what was that just now?"

Turning his body awkwardly like a robot, Alex saw Tiffany who stood behind him along with a bunch of animals, the unique kind of them. A mutated bear, a mutated cat, and, obviously, a garuda. Currently, Tiffany looked like she just robbed a zoo of their animals.

Seeing that Alex didn't say anything, Tiffany quickly said, "Don't ignore me, daddy... What's with that hug?"

Flashing the brightest smile he had, Alex answered this daughter of his. "It's just a friendly, kinship type of farewell hug. It's really nothing."

Hearing that, Tiffany's face changed, "It doesn't look like that to me, daddy. I'm 13 years old now. I'm not a kid anymore, daddy."

"Yes, Tiffany. Sure you are… Just don't grow too fast for daddy, okay?" Alex joked as he carried his daughter.

Not long after, Alex saw a group of people approaching him and along with them was Cindy. She came with her research results about the pictures and letters spotted on the weird pillars inside the Chimera nest.

"So, what did you find?"
