Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 57: 57: The Plan

"So, what's the plan, guys?" Dunn asked and looked at the faces of every member. The mood was solemn and everyone had a rare-serious expression on their faces.

What they had to fight was an Apokalip. One of the creatures that overwhelmed human kingdoms and brought the Apocalypse upon this world. A killing machine that was not like others that they had faced before. It was essentially a suicide for Non-Destiny like them to fight a ten-meter Apokalip.

Fortunately, they weren't just some normal humans, in a sense. Each of them has reached the highest pre-requisite, also known as the peak state of humans.

"Just ahead of us. We are only eleven meters from the well. If we proceed any longer, we will encounter it. Let's stop here first and plan." Fushigiro sighed. "What we guys are doing is really stupid. A suicidal move..."

Caleb looked at Fushigiro and opened his mouth to ask:

"Captain, how much do you think our chances of winning are?"

"Actually, we have a big chance of winning with me." Fushigiro shook his head. "However, even if that's the case, the risk of dying was also higher. So, guys... We have to be careful. Don't die on me."

"Don't forget. We are wielders of the Five Powers. Techniques designed to literally match the power of Tier 9 Destiny and Apokalips. Not to mention, the captain has mastered all of them while I can use two. So yeah, Captain Fushigiro is right that we have a higher chance of winning here. If he didn't decide to join us. The chances of us being wiped out are... I won't say it. You know it." Jin interjected and spread his hands with the signature faint smile on his face.

'Hmmm, we really have a chance of winning. That's good.'

Caleb breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was hope, he would take it. He was also a bit perplexed as to what the fuck he was currently doing. Did he become a stupid shit? Or did his increasing strength get over his head? It was out of his character. Why risked his lives for a bunch of brats that he had only known for months? The answer? Because he wants to!

In the past, he had no power to do so. And he doesn't doubt that he would have run and let the kids die if he was just a really normal person. His life is more important, after all, and survival is a priority. However, after constant reincarnation and experiencing hundreds of deaths. He was sick of his god-forsaken mindset!

Caleb was sick of running! He was sick of living just to survive! He wants to live life on his own terms and his choices. If he just always prioritizes survival and settles for the bare minimum, how would he be supposed to hope to achieve something great? Even with his golden finger, time slime, he won't make it too far if he stays in his mindset.

He needs to bravely face danger and have to have the guts to risk his life. That's the only way to become a true powerhouse. To not only have the strength but also to have the attitude and will of the strong. Of course, there's a difference between a brave and a reckless fool. The former knew what he was doing and knew how to plan, while the latter would just recklessly charge ahead without thought.

To not only live for survival but to have the ambition to achieve something great. But yes, to do that, he would have to survive first. Now is the chance to solidify his mindset. Save the two brats stuck in the well and fight the Apokalip ahead of them! Worst-case scenario, he would just get reincarnated again in another damn world. He has infinite lives, doesn't he? Still... He won't die so easily, and he doesn't have a plan of dying anytime soon. He needs to win! He still wants to live and explore this world! Explore its history. Fully integrate its power system and experience what it has to offer! To see the beauty of this world! Finally, he wants to become Destiny!

If he becomes Destiny, he would be able to bring its power if he reincarnated in the other world again, which would help him greatly and increase the chances of his survival in other worlds where he would find himself in the future. After all, there are countless worlds out there waiting for him. Every world is dangerous but has something that would make him stronger. Each has a power system and unique knowledge waiting for him to plunder! And if he wanted to contend for those resources, the mindset of a powerhouse was the first step.

"So what's the plan?" Caleb asked, with a hint of resolve in his eyes.

"Well, it's like this..." Jin began to talk about the limited options they had.

The members formed a circle to discuss how they would bring down the Apokalip. First of all, they don't have many options. Since every Apokalips are different from each other. They didn't have much information about the Apokalip except for its ten-meter height. Andre hasn't provided much since the kid was busy running for their lives to analyze the characteristics of the abomination. So they could only fight it with the limited information.

Second, however, they at least have the initiative to attack. Since they know its location. It would be easier to plan to leverage the surrounding environment to their advantage. Luckily, they knew the terrain around the well, just like the back of their hands.

Third, their formation. Jin and Fushigiro would be the ones pulling the aggro since they could use Tesai to harden their skin and take some attacks from the Apokalips. Then the others would have to inflict as much damage but also reduce Jin and Fushigiro's pressure. Then try to figure out how to kill the monster on the spot.

Lastly, Caleb, he was a crucial part of the plan. It depends on his Stream-lined throwing technique whether they would be able to bring down the monster to its knees. That's roughly their plan for the operation since they didn't have many choices.
