Chapter 408 – The Plan Is Set
—–
I had thought about this decision for a long while, and I had conclude that I couldn't waste away the power I had attained. Thanks to the world's voice and the gift of the universal core, I was able to regain my power and even gain a new energy, cosmic energy. This type of powerful energy has helped me more than I could have ever expected for it to do, and I cannot really be a coward and doubt anymore. I know very well that Valen is strong, stronger than me, and he can quite possibly defeat me, but I can stall for time. I know that if I use all my powers, I can, for a few minutes, resist his power and open enough time for my allies to do what they must do.
I am not confident in winning. The defeat that I experienced still lingers in my mind like a nightmare that I am trying to surpass, I've realized how weak I truly can be, but this also has given me the realization that there was a long way to go. I will use the power I have developed and do everything I can to stop him, if it ever comes to that conclusion, although deep down, I still hope that such a thing doesn't become a reality and we can secure Nesephise and the frog's egg before I could fight Valen, as this would increase our odds of winning tremendously.
I had to try what I could to win, and this was within the plans, to use my own strength. I remember that the world's voice also said she would assist me, I don't know how she'll do that, but it seems that I might receive her help when I least expect it, although she cannot do much either, she'll probably be able to help me once, at most, as she's already dying… I wouldn't really want her to sacrifice more of her power for me, she had already done more than enough.
To think that even this entire planet want to help me defeat Valen… He's surely someone too dangerous for the safety of this planet. Our first target could be the factories extracting the energy from the planet as well, although we would have to see where they are exactly, I've detected the ones closer to our target… Maybe we should wreck them first to give the planet a breather.
"I have thought about destroying the factories that are closet to our target, they're less protected and all of them harbor slaves we can rescue." I said. "If we go ahead and destroy them, the planet will have a small breath and might recover more, and the energy that the main city is receiving could be cut down a bit."
"Ahh! That's right! My lord is so smart!" Said Belphegor, celebrating something so simple I thought.
"Chaos-sama is right! We can do just that then! I am so happy that you're here to give us ideas." Said Abyss, hugging me tightly.
"I think you're exaggerating; it is something simple." I said.
"Yeah, it is a simple yet effective idea I didn't come out with…" Said Natalia.
"Interesting, let's do that first… But wait! If we do that, won't we give them the notice that we are attacking?" Wondered Edward.
"That's why I plan to do it while Erebus and Rust are hacking the wall, to distract them instead." I said. "They'll put their minds into the factories being destroyed, without being able to completely notice what's going on with the walls…"
"Interesting strategy." Said Edward. "Of course, Chaos-sama, you must come to the walls, so others must do this, while also going through the danger of being chased by the frog. We need speedy people, fast enough to outrun the giant divine beast."
"I've become quite speedy after growing strong enough." Said Boxxy. "Let me the task to me, I can do it."
"If Boxxy is doing it then I am doing it as well, I am not leaving her behind, no way!" Said Yuki.
"You girls… Are you sure?" Asked Abyss.
"We are!" Said Boxxy. "I want Master to trust me… I want to show him that I can be useful!"
"Me too. Don't worry about us, we'll be fine. We have survived once, we can survive another time." Said Yuki.
"Hmmm…"
I looked at the two girl's eyes, they were filled with dedication and the motivation of surviving, it was so strong it left me surprised, almost speechless, even. It seems they had grown stronger in more than just physical or magical strength, their mental strength had also become greater, and they seem to have maturated more after going through these hardships.
"Very well." I said. "You can go, but I will go with you too."
"Eh? But you said you were going with the wall team!" Said Belphegor.
"I will." I said.
"Eh?"
"You don't remember I can divide myself? Although if I divide too much, I lose stats, I can do it a couple of times, the clones are weaker than me, but they can assist you." I said.
"Me too! I can also clone myself, so I can assist you with space magic." Said Abyss.
"My clones can help as batteries for Abyss' clones mana, so they can work together quite well." I said.
"Yeah, we are such a good pairing now that I think about it, hehe!" Giggled Abyss.
I smiled as I saw her giggling, it soothed my heart to see her so happy, but what we were going to do was going to be dangerous, danger would lurk in every corner, I cannot let her die either, so I don't want her to go in front of someone dangerous like Valen.
As the one that has survived against him, I know the best of his temperament, and his fighting style. If he ever shows up, I am the only one that must fight him, everyone else has to back off, or they'll… they will all die.
I won't let that happen.
