Although the Church's forces had been drastically culled, their Demigod-level powerhouse was, at least, still with them, and their second most powerful hitters — the Templars — were still pretty much with them; this made the Church the most powerful force within the secret dimension. Now that they had regrouped, the classes of soldiers in their ensemble could finally display the results of the intense training they had in working together and covering each other's backs. They were capable of making quick work of the other forces.
Meanwhile, in another location, the northerners successfully regrouped just as the Church had. After a brief update report, they concluded that their force had suffered more losses than they were prepared for. The scholarly-looking one among them was in a foul mood, and he soon snapped. "We killed many of them! Why do they still have half their members left?"
TL’S MUSINGS:
Okay, so what’s the best way to fight Demigods? It’s kinda funny because, though they are advertised as ultimately powerful and whatnot, at the same time they do have a very glaring weakness— if anyone could even tap it, anyway.
Baiyi could! Honestly, if I were him and I’m short on time, or I really want this arc to end quickly so that I can act out by self-directing coronation ceremony? I’m gonna force these demigods to activate their Territories. Ha ha ha! Especially that monk-style Saitama (encased in some Naruto-style chakra shield). He’s been a demigod for a looooong time, right? I bet him activating his Territory would have him attain The Bluescreen of Nirvana in minutes! ...Seconds! Hours…? I’m… I’m not sure!
But that would be quite an anticlimax, right? Maybe that’s why I could never be a shonen anime protagonist.
