Death… And Me Chapter 2882: Unexpected Target

Chapter 2882: Unexpected Target

Kafan wasn't wrong. Outside the Universe, Flavio was fuming, but Lucas was absolutely mad! They just couldn't understand how the Omni Vortex disappeared. It would be one thing if it had been destroyed. But disappearing? That didn't make sense!
"Flavio!" Finally, Lucas made his decision. "I can't go back without a good reason to lose the Omni Vortex. I know I was supposed to not intervene, but I don't have any choice."
Flavio already expected as much. Different from him, who brought the first Omni Vortex by using the proper channels, Lucas went behind the rules. The weight of Flavio losing his Omni Vortex was nothing compared to Lucas's one. "Fine. But you can forget about that favor I owed you. That thing was completely useless."
Lucas nodded. "So be it. But you have to help me recover it."
"If we can find it, right?" Flavio wasn't going to promise something he knew nothing about. "If an opportunity arises, I will help you recover it."
Flavio then calmed down. "Now then. Since you want to take part, you will control the reinforcements you brought. I will be in charge of the army I still have here. However, don't forget that I'm still the commander of this operation. If I need you to do something, you have to do it."
"Fine by me." Lucas didn't complain.
With that agreement in place, Flavio connected to the entire spaceship fleet. "We will resume our attack against Lisan. There is no turning back anymore. The plan has already been drafted. All spaceship commanders must follow it. The invasion starts in 48 hours." Even if he wanted to attack straight away, he had an enormous fleet with millions of experts. It wasn't
something that could be done instantly. Unless, of course, he didn't care about the problems it would cause.
Inside the Lisan Universe, Roan stayed near the Reincarnation Path since that was considered the most important location of the Underworld. Close to him were several Devils, including one he knew quite well.
"Roan," Rui, the Peak Stage Divinity Realm and also a Light Devil who helped the twins in the past. After the war between the Underworld and the Heavens, Rui was put in a hard position since his Clan helped the angels. Fortunately for him, the news of the Garisan Universe arrived during that time, too. Besides, the Devil also found out about the Angels being controlled, so they couldn't just decide to eliminate Rui. In the end, Rui and his Light Devil clan were given the chance to fight for the Lisan Universe as a way to repay the debt. "Is this attack from Garisan really coming?"
Roan glanced at him and thought about it for a moment. "On both occasions, you had the chance to see the Omni Vortexes, right? If it were you, would you just give up after losing two of those things?"
Rui immediately shook his head. "No. If anything, I would have attacked already."
"Exactly," Roan agreed. "They will come, and it shouldn't take more than a few days at most."
Rui understood that. "Still, do you know why we are all so close to each other? Should it be better to spread the various Devil Clans and their armies?"
Roan shook his head. "There is a reason for that. It's just that I can't tell you. You will have to ask the Semi-Celestials."
Rui bitterly smiled. There were only Devil Semi Celestials in the Underworld, and they definitely didn't like him. At the moment, the Semi-Celestial holding the fort was Black Locust himself. He also had the Underworld Relic and had no intention of explaining anything.
The same situation could be seen in the Heavens and the Universe Foundation Pillar. The armies positioned in those places were pretty close to each other, which one would consider a poor decision. For example, the Garisan Forces had the Star Ray. If aimed at the center of these armies, it wouldn't be pretty.
Other than that, the Lisan Universe has millions of much lower-level experts spread throughout the Universe. Transition Realm and Void Tempering made the majority of these scouts since they could live in midspace without the risk of dying. They all had the highest level of Thoughts Transmission Talismans, capable of sending instant messages anywhere in the Universe at any time.
That situation continued like this for the next 48 hours. Finally, Gragatou's eyes flickered as he felt a movement in his Pocket Dimensional Realm. He quickly took out one of the many talismans he had in there, seeing that it received a message. He put the talisman on his forehead, and it burnt instantly as the message it received entered his mind.
Following that, he took out his communication badge and contacted everyone else. "They are here. I only received half a message as it seemed the scout who sent it died before putting all his thoughts inside the talisman. Nonetheless, the Garisan Invasion part was impossible to miss."
Instantly, all the Semi-Celestials asked at the same time. "Where was this scout?"
"Fuck!" Kafan suddenly screamed in their shared conversation. "Why the hell are they there?!" Right after, he turned off his communicator and disappeared.
Gragatou knew where he went, though. "He went back to his Universe Transition Organization. For some reason, Garisan forces appeared there."
The conversation stopped at that moment. The Universe Transition Organization Kafan created is still located on the other half of the Universe. Even after the Universe was merged back together, it is still easy to differentiate both sides after they had been apart for so long.
Kafan passed the order to reduce the number of souls being transformed into Death Energy to no more than the necessary to supply the Death Spirits that could use it. It wasn't even a millionth of what it was before. For all matters and purposes, the Universe Transition Organization shouldn't have any strategic advantage. Yet, Garisan appeared there. No one could understand why Garisan attacked it. Unless...
"It has to be a distraction, right?" Black Locust spoke, confused.
That was the thought in everyone's mind.
