Chapter 1006 Change of Plans
Kisuke sighed and stopped his self-destruction. As much as he wanted to leave this place, it wouldn't really change anything, 'Now then... How should I deal with this?'
While staring at her, the Evie continued to pour the drinks and said, "Take your time. You can also drink this to calm your nerves and I can assure you that there's nothing wrong with them. Though it'll still be up to you if you were to trust a few of my words."
Kisuke had already stopped hiding his demeanor and revealed his calculating side. He looked at the cup for a moment before grabbing it and taking a sip, "Thank you."
The Evie smiled at him and replied, "You're welcome."
But after that, there were no more exchanges between the two for some time.
'And here I thought Ophis and Lilith were able to grab their attention when I'm deploying the barrier but it seems they placed great enough importance on me too to know me by name.' Kisuke thought while recalling how he stopped the Evie that claimed Great Red's life to get his trophy, 'And who would have thought that I'll meet a Transcendent here...'
Although not much was known about their abilities, there were only three Transcendents on the Evie's side and only one with feminine stature. One of the Three Pillar Gods. The younger sister of Regalzeva and Melvazoa. The one is known as the Wicked God. Seraselbes.
Kisuke also checked the drink that entered his body and found nothing strange about it aside from the flavor and scent. But he didn't let his guard down and secured his connection to his original body, 'If there's a deviation to my consciousness, my Soul and Benihime should be able to notice it.'
Even then, Kisuke was still not satisfied and fortified his mind by adding various Security Magic to both his head and Soul Fragment without hiding it from the Evie in front of him.
The Evie didn't mind it and just waited for him to finish what he wanted to do. If this is what it takes for him to talk to her properly, she'd gladly wait all day. Regardless, she likes how careful he is, 'I'll be able to leave Stralit in his care.'
Kisuke sighed once again after finishing what he needed to do and initiated the conversation, "Let's start from the top. It's nice to meet you. I'm Kisuke Urahara."
"Likewise. I go by Seraselbes. Let's get along." The Evie properly introduced herself, "Though I'd like for us to talk more, we don't have much time, so let's get our business out of the way first."
Kisuke agreed and took out the cubes that Stralit passed him before giving them to her. Kisuke didn't attempt to take a look inside of the cube since he knew that he wouldn't be able to decipher it. On top of that, he didn't know any of the anti-tamper measures that littered the cubes.
Seraselbes carefully inspected the cubes before taking them away with satisfaction and bringing out her own set of cubes, "I'd like you to deliver this to Stralit as fast as possible."
Kisuke nodded and jumped down from his seat after keeping the cubes. Since he didn't have the advantage, he wanted to leave as soon as possible and prepare for their next meeting.
But before he could leave, Seraselbes spoke up, "It may not look like it but Stralit is in great danger right now. The group that wanted to clean up the Peace Faction is closing in on her... If it becomes too dangerous, I want you to save her."
Kisuke stopped his steps and nodded. He doesn't have any negotiation power so he could only agree, "I'll see what I can do."
'At least, this way, she won't be dropping me since she has a use for me.'
Kisuke was about to leave again but was stopped by the continuation of Seraselbes' words, 'Urgh... I don't want to hear it.'
But to his surprise, it was beneficial info, "Some of Regalzeva's soldiers have already breached your 'wall' through some summoning techniques that were done from the inside and are already disguising themselves as Humans. This is for the work you'll be doing."
"...Thank you. I'll be coming back. I hope we have more time next time." Kisuke hid his shock and made a dash through the forest, 'Dammit... I'm already expecting a breach at some point but not this early. Summoning, huh? As expected of an intergalactic civilization. They sure have a bunch of tricks they collected.'
Kisuke didn't fully believe Seraselbes' words but there's nothing wrong in investigating these breaches, 'But if this is true, I have almost nothing to bring to the table and my only choice would be helping out Stralit. Looks like I have to understand more of their inner conflict.'
Kisuke sincerely hoped that Evies are the only enemy they have to deal with, but from the looks of it, both Factions have cracks in their ranks that makes this very complicated, 'I can see it... A three-way war. But as of now, we don't stand a chance and once the Etouldes find us a hindrance, they'll eliminate us before we can grow.'
He scratched his aching head and thought, 'I guess that's the only way... Bring in more people.'
But despite the mounting pressure on his back, there was a fearless and crazed smile plastered on his face while also thinking, 'Now then... How can I scam the 'Immortal' and the 'King'?'

While she was busy working on the Space Gate, Sona received an emergency message. And after going through it once, she felt a massive ache hitting her head, 'They already breached the barrier? And we are not even aware of it even though we're closely watching it?'
Sona immediately went and used a secured line to contact Akeno, "We've got a problem."
After explaining to her the situation, Sona added a few suggestions, "Should we use the grassroots organizations to find them?"
[No. They are most likely our problem. Since being associated with the Evies is a big problem, larger factions would rather use these grassroots organizations to have what they want. We'll only put ourselves in their crosshairs if we suddenly start looking for them. If it's up to me, I'd spread a rumor of an Evie passing through the barrier to muddy the waters. That way we could hopefully fish out those who make the wrong decisions.]
Sona nodded, "Alright. I'll leave it to you. This Space Gate needs to be done as soon as possible too so I won't be able to assist you as much."
[Alright. I'll contact Irina to prepare her side.]
