章節 1040: Chapter 1040 Prelude

"No one...? You found no one?" Zeus asked again. He and the others just had a bad premonition.

"No one." Yoruichi repeated, "These last three days, we went around the world to do something. Their strange case of disappearances was kept in the back of our heads so when we got a chance, we tried looking for them again 'cause we figured that if they were going to turn up, now was the time. Even then, no one showed up. Not a single one."

Zeus hurriedly turned to Ouranous and asked, "Ouranous, do you think they were..."

But the latter immediately interrupted him, "We can't be sure but we have to take action while taking that possibility into account. Let's go back for now. We don't have time to just casually chat here. We have to make sure that no one is going to take his side."

Without waiting, Ouranos flew off toward the direction of the temporary base where everyone was. Odin also soon followed him and the last was Zeus. But before the latter could go, Yoruichi spoke again, "You of all people should know how impossible it is to unite everyone under a single banner."

Zeus stopped but didn't turn around, "But we still have to do it or else, this will be a bloody war that would spell the end of both Lower and Upper World."

The girls watched Zeus fly off and Serafall offered Riveria and Loki a seat.

Riveria and Loki quietly sat down and the former commented, "You people really do like speaking in a cryptic manner. Couldn't you have added more context to your conversation? I want to know more too."

Yoruichi picked up her cup again and answered, "Those old men couldn't answer specifically so we could only gather information while feeling them out. Since they couldn't answer straight, I also couldn't ask straight."

"...What are you going to do next?" The formerly silent Loki finally asked.

Yoruichi briefly looked at her before looking up to the now clear sky, "It depends. Depending on how that guy will fulfill his side of the deal, we'll just retreat or it could be messy."

Thanks to her silence, Loki was able to figure out a few things just from the clues that she got from the earlier conversation. And with the conclusion she came up with, she couldn't help but smile wryly, "So there's a chance that you'll just abandon this world?"

"It's not that unreasonable, is it? In the first place, we only care about a few people here. You might think that we're apathetic, but we're also no heroes. We have no reason to save everyone while risking ourselves."

Loki went quiet once again. But instead of Yoruichi or Serafall, it was Riveria who continued, "But that also means that they'll go to any lengths just to save any one of theirs."

Loki's eyes widened and she was shocked not because of Riveria's words, but how she forgot this very simple fact, 'If Hestia and Artemis were involved... then...' She looked at Riveria and asked, "What about you?"

Riveria smiled and was confident enough to give an answer, "If they are willing to go that far, the least I could do is the same."

Loki grinned and stood up, "Is that so? Then I have to go back and prepare everyone. Mentally at least."

Yoruichi and Serafall followed Riveria and Loki back to the temporary camp. The moment they arrived Yoruichi and Serafall immediately disguised themselves and saw that all the inhabitants of the Lower World were celebrating. However, there's a very obvious lack of Deities on the streets as every one of them was called in once again.

Unbeknownst to this celebratory mood, the Deities are trying to come up with a consensus of uniting together in case someone turns hostile.

Riveria, Loki, Yoruichi, and Serafall discreetly moved towards where the Loki Familia was camping, and when they got near, they saw that it wasn't just the Loki Familia, but also the Freya, Hephaestus, Takemikazuchi, and Miach Familias were also gathered together. Since this group usually moves as a single faction, it wasn't strange for them to be together.

When they saw Loki and Riveria arrive, they immediately gathered to greet them but immediately halted when they saw their serious expression.

"Loki? What's wrong?" Finn asked.

"Gather everyone and get inside. We need to talk about something important."

Everyone was taken aback and took notice of the two hooded figures behind them. However, no one asked why and did what she asked.

A few minutes later, everyone is cramped inside a tent. Although it was a very large tent, it was still not enough to comfortably accommodate everyone.

As soon as the curtains of the tent dropped down, Riveria immediately erected a barrier that would fake sound and light to avoid arousing the attention and suspicion of those who were outside.

Yoruichi then removed her hood and revealed herself before calling out to someone, "Line. Please help Serafall to recover."

Line immediately came forward and asked, "What about you? I saw you take not just a few hits."

"I'm fine. It's still not enough to affect my combat effectiveness. Serafall, however, was drained significantly."

When Line and the others heard Yoruichi worrying about combat effectiveness, a cold wind brushed everyone's back. Although they still don't know how to react to the earlier battle and how to approach Yoruichi and Serafall after what they've just seen, the fact that she's insinuating that the battle is still not over made them not worry about this small thing.

"Understood." Line immediately ran towards Serafall to start her special treatment.

"Don't tire yourself too much. Kisuke will still need you later." Yoruichi added while sitting down beside Loki and Riveria, "You may proceed, Loki. We can't say anything but if it's you, you should have some idea what you should warn them about."

"Are you sure you don't want me to wait for Hestia and Artemis?"

"They are in another location and they also have some idea of what's going to happen next."

章節 1041: Chapter 1041 Preparations

"The giant monster is not yet dealt with?" Finn asked, "Come to think of it, Kisuke Urahara still hasn't come out of the Dungeon."

"Oh right... Before we start, let's release the seals. There's no point for it now, anyway." Yoruichi interrupted and turned to Serafall.

Serafall nodded her head and snapped her fingers. Despite the single simple gesture, the sound of her snap traveled across the barrier and the sound spread out throughout the whole base and several kilometers beyond.

The wave of sound instantly unlocked something inside the heads of the people who'd stayed in Orario for the past years. The celebratory mood instantly went away and silence descended to the whole place. A few seconds later, some scream erupted and that signaled everyone to wake up from their abrupt stupor.

Unlike those outside, the inside of the tent's silence continued on and the one who spoke a few seconds later was Liliruca Arde from Miach Familia, "...Those two Familias... How could I forget?"

Everyone had the same sentiment as her.

"Well, that's not really important. Listen to what Loki has to say first."

Loki also clapped her hands to gather everyone's attention, "We are not yet out of danger. In fact, we're in much more trouble. If my guess is right, the disappearance of that 'monster' will make another, much more dangerous, 'monster' descend on this plane."

Everyone stood on alert when they understood Loki's words and the celebratory mood from earlier had completely disappeared.

"Do you want us to prepare? And how?" Allen from the Freya Familia asked, "If the monster you're talking about is even remotely close to that from earlier, the only choice we have is to escape and let those who could fight, stop it."

But before Loki could answer, Yoruichi's head suddenly snapped to the side and she immediately stood up.

"Yoruichi?"

Yoruichi ignored Loki's call and drew her dagger and made a single cut in the space in front of her. From that cut, a single hand came out, and soon a severely wounded person with a missing arm came out of it while casually muttering, "It won't be just a single monster this time. That guy will be bringing his own army and there's nowhere in the whole world anyone can hide."

Kisuke, in his normal form with blood continuously dropping on the ground, sat down beside Yoruichi before continuing, "You, and everyone else living in this world will have no choice but to fight for survival."

Without waiting for any instructions, Line immediately ran over to Kisuke and immediately started her treatment. As soon as her Magic began, a faint silhouette of Kisuke's complete body overlapped on his current one, and the small wounds he had instantly started disappearing, 'By pulling out information from the 'past', she's able to overwrite the 'present' with it. Although it's only limited to restoration and healing, it's still a pretty powerful concept that is only below Orihime's 'causality rejection'.'

While Kisuke was watching and studying Line's Magic and guessing how she envisioned this concept, Yoruichi asked him, "Is alright to talk about this?"

"Yep." Kisuke answered, "That slimy bastard is busy checking if Tiamat is really dead. We have a few hours before his attention turns to something else. Just enough time to make things clear."

Those who had weaker stomachs couldn't stand looking at Kisuke with his ripped flesh that gave a window to his bone. However, the words he uttered gave everyone a shiver and an image of a bloody war of an unprecedented scale.

"First of all, if that 'guy' allows me and those I want to leave, we'll leave. Regardless of what happens to this world."

Despite not exerting any effort, Kisuke's last words felt so cold that they froze everyone on the spot.

Disappointed, Bell asked, "Where would you even go if you said that the war will be on a global scale?"

Kisuke displayed a grin and returned a question of his own, "You're still asking? You already have an idea, right?"

As Kisuke has guessed, those who are sharp enough were able to have an idea that they are not from these lands, at least, they think that they are not from Lower or Upper World.

Bell closed his eyes and uttered in a heavy voice, "...That's really unfortunate."

But then, Ais stepped forward, "Then what if 'that guy' doesn't allow it?"

Intrigued by the changes in her, Kisuke inadvertently stared at Ais out of curiosity until he felt Riveria's sharp stare, "...Well, as much as I hate it, if 'that guy' turns hostile, I'll be the first one he'll eliminate. It's no mystery that I'll defend myself."

As if Ais was very sure that the discussion would turn violent, she replied, "...Nice working with you."

Kisuke couldn't help but chuckle at her response since he has the same opinion as her. And that reaction of his put Loki at ease, 'If he knew he was fighting, he should have prepared for this too.'

All of the small injuries on Kisuke's body were healed and only a few large wounds along with his missing arm needed some healing. He could use his own regenerative ability but he wanted to recover as much energy as possible in case Chaos suddenly decided to come down now.

"In any case, prepare for the worst... And don't trust anyone that you don't know or anyone you don't respect, really." Kisuke stood up and started walking towards the exit and Line wanted to slap his back for suddenly moving but stopped herself and just continued her treatment.

"...Huh? What do you mean by that?" Tsubaki asked.

Kisuke didn't answer her and Yoruichi, Serafall, and Line followed him outside. However, that didn't remain unanswered as Riveria gave her one, "That means 'that guy's' army or a part of it could come from the inhabitants of the Lower World."

'And probably of the Upper World...' Riveria wanted to add but decided against it, 'But they don't need to know something that isn't a hundred percent set in stone.'

"You're not going to follow them?" Loki asked.

And Riveria shook her head, "As he has said, we need to prepare and I'll do my best so that no one of this group and my friends die. They can fend off for themselves and I think Line will be returning after healing Kisuke. After all, this is still our family."

'Besides, if I really leave you in a time like this, I wouldn't just hate myself but also receive a not-so-mild scolding from them.' Riveria thought while releasing a long breath with a wry smile on her face, "Alright, everyone. Come closer. I'm going to teach you all some simple but effective Magic that may very well save your lives. We'll also need to create a network of communication between ourselves so we won't lose each other's positions in case the situation turns chaotic."

28th00: I had a comment but forgot it. Kisuke must’ve looked pretty traumatizing to the people that haven’t even seen him get hurt before.
