Parallel Junction, it was a fairly terrifying enemy. But…

Not for me.

That handled two of the eight Outer Gods. Six others were now wrecking havoc in the other worlds. I still doubted whether I could trust it or not, but there was no reason not to.

It did not seem like the type to lie, it was also far too scared to do so.

It seemed more than plausible for them to start attacking other places, now that the Parallel Junction was dead too, they would either deal as much damage and attack me at once after powering up.

Or flee.

Both options sucked. But the latter was especially horrible.

I had already entered the fifth stage, with how amplified it was, closing it again was almost impossible.

The thought that I could create an infinite flow of energy had long crossed my mind. Open, power up, seal again while in power up.

More energy sealed would lead to more strength when unsealed. But sealing while in a boosted state was almost impossible with my Authority.

That meant only one thing.

"Catene, let's go kill as many as we can before this boost wears out."

I didn't need it, but the power coursing through my veins was a splendid thing to feel. I drove my feet into the ground and rushed back to the World Tree.

The enormous distance shortened within seconds. In a single leap, I was back at the world tree.

I rushed up toward the portal room and found the two waiting for me. Their eyes were widened completely as they saw me step inside.

"When did you come back—"

"Na-Ri, are you alright?" I asked, grabbing my sister's shoulders. "Nothing happened, right? You're ok, right?"

Na-Ri nodded. "Of course, how could something happen. You seem more scary than any Outer God right now."

"Of course I do. Alright, listen."

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm I tightened my hold on Catene sword and spread my gaze around. The Outer Gods seemed to have gone to the worlds we had tipped them off at, since their forces were already there, single-handedly attacking another while they get decimated was the most foolish thing they could do.

"I killed two of the twelve Outer Gods, the smaller Outer Gods mean nothing, we have to get them.

"Is that… so…?"

"There are six more out there, I'll be going to where it seems like I can find an Outer God. You need to go and inform everyone else about this."

Na-Ri nodded.

"Only six more, and this battle will end. Six."

"Six… I'll go back to Albert first then."

That place had the least firepower, it was also where the supreme commander was. Albert and Irina both needed to be out of that place as soon as they could be.

"Albert, and then everyone you can. Alright?"

"Got it. What about this place…?"

"It's safe, none of them will come here anymore."

I had made it clear that if they were to fight me, they would die.

"Partner…"

Titania looked at me and nodded in a fluster.

"I'll put my life on the line to keep her safe."

"Don't do that, neither of you get hurt, ok? I will fucking end the world myself otherwise."

It seemed my joke wasn't appreciated that much, they could both break a few limbs I wouldn't mind. I would encourage it in fact, that sounded fun.

They got too scared and nodded.

"We'll not let anything scratch us."

"Just calm down, you. Nothing will happen."

I nodded at them once again, grabbed Catene tight, put on my sunglasses once more, and rushed out into another portal.

Behind me, Na-Ri ran away too.

***

"Are they there?" Asked Albert.

In the wide room of the World Tree, multiple screens brought back from Earth displayed footage of the events happening in the western front of the war. All the people fighting were asked to retreat at the war lines was now a single troupe.

"I am connecting the call now," said Marissa as she brought another screen to the front.

Reflected on the screen where the soldiers of the Pinot Kingdom lined up in a row.

At their forefront was a man with a helmet and an axe, and next him a lady with a giant sword.

[Prince!] the voice of the girl from the radio called out. [We are here at your command!]

"Mina, Jacques… SOLDIERS OF PINOT!" Albert waved his hand and spoke with great strength, his voice shaking up the room. "Do you trust me?"

[WITH OUR LIVES, PRINCE!]

"Anyone who does not trust me, remove the communication device from your ears and back off."

No one moved on the screen.

But it wasn't enough yet.

"Antoine."

[Yes!]

"Gabriel."

[I trust you, prince]

"Camille,"

[Yes.]

One after another, Albert called the names of every single one of the soldiers in his army. Confirming all of their resolve up front. Quite a few of them watched with tears in their eyes as their prince called them all out by their names, even if someone else spoke up, he was able to tell.

The roll call ended without any of them backing away.

Placing his hand behind his back, Albert stepped closer to the screen and stared at his soldiers.

"The enemy you are to face now can read minds. No attacks works on it. Disco Ball, as long as you enter its [Night Club] all of your thoughts will be read."

The soldiers watched on.

"Most who have gone in to attack have died before being able to land a hit."

Neither a yelp nor a complain left the soldiers. If their prince asked them to die, they would do so.

For their faith in their prince was that great.

"From now on, none of you will think."

The soldiers' eyes widened.

"You will not know what you are doing, you will not know who, how, when or where you're attacking."

Albert knew, all of their names. All of their weapons, all of their skills, who used a bow how well, who could use their Ki to what stage. There was not a single thing about the Pinot that Albert did not know.

"Follow only my words and nothing else. I promise you victory."

A sigh left Albert.

It was an unreasonable demand.

[Yes! prince!]

All of them answered at once.

The feed of drones and cameras shifted to show the battlefield of the west.

The sight of the Remnants running around looked rather cute to Albert.

A battle of chess, he was quite fond of those.
