Chapter 1496 Charge [1]


    Damien proceeded toy out his n before all these eyes.


    He''d done a whole lot of pondering on this one. It was a n he''d carefully formted so that there would be no mistakes in the operation to rescue Dante.


    Wars took a long time.


    Damien had participated in many over his lifetime, and even the shortest ones raged on for several years before finally calming down.


    In a certain sense, the war between Void Pce, the Divine Order, and the Straea n had been going on for a very long time too.


    However, it was less of a war and more of a one-sided beatdown.


    But Void Pce was not going to take it anymore.


    And rather than letting this war be another one thatsted for years and years and cost more than anyone could imagine, Damien wanted to end it as fast as possible.


    Theplete extermination of the two influences that inhibited his path was his goal.


    And the current Void Pce was more than just ready to help him aplish it.


    See, the barrier around the pce was never taken down.


    The protections Damien put in ce came with a function to alter the time flow.


    When Damien asked his mother if she could look after the pce while he was gone, he wasn''t just asking her to do the dirty work that he didn''t want to.


    He was asking her to train the pce members in his ce and continue on the set trajectory they''d been following.


    ire understood her son''s intent, especially when he gave her control over the mechanism that affected the pce''s internal time flow.


    Thus, in the two months that had passed in the True Void Universe since Damien left to explore the otherworld…


    ire may or may not have been a little bold with it.


    Serena was also a Goddess who controlled Time, wasn''t she?


    Damien''s barrier was amazing. To be able to turn every day into a year was something most couldn''t dream of.


    However, with Serena''s expertise that focused specifically on time, that effect could be enhanced manifold.


    As such, the barrier now had an even more wondrous capability.


    And in the two months that Damien had been gone…


    For the majority of the pce, almost 200 years had gone by.


    Other than the areas that had their own unique time flows, like the Young Lord''s residence, the entire pce was ced in a startling dtion that nobody else in the Heavenly World could ever dream of.


    The results of that?


    Naturally, the people of the pce had grown into monsters.


    All those who hadn''t been able to ascend to Divinity were taken straight there. Even the mostmon maids of the pce were now Demigods. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    As for Gods…well, the barrier between regr Divinity and Godhood was far greater than any barrier a practitioner would experience before that level, so one couldn''t expect a huge number of Gods to appear just because some time passed.


    There were thousands of high-rank Demigods among the pce''s warriors, though, and it wasn''t as if nobody ascended to Godhood.


    There were a few select individuals, people who were Elders or high-level members of the pce beforehand, who managed to gain the opportunity of a lifetime during these 200 years.


    5 of them, to be exact.


    The Void Pce Damien returned to had not 11 Swords like the one he''d left, but 16.


    It was perfect.


    "We''re waging war on two fronts, so we''ll have to be rtively careful with our movements. Here''s the overarching n…"


    Damien had already assessed the pce''s current strength beforeing here. He knew exactly what to do with his people, and he knew exactly how to strike his enemies.


    "We''ll obviously hit the Divine Order first..."


    Damien couldn''t conserve his forces or split them when he was facing them.


    The weaker of the two. They definitely had strength hidden that the pce''s informationwork couldn''t see, but Damien was confident that they couldn''t stand against the current pce.


    Plus…


    "...but that''s only a front."


    The main enemy was the Straea n.


    Damien couldn''t conserve his forces or split them when he was facing them.


    "We need to drop their guards, so we''ll start a few skirmishes here and there with the Divine Order to make them doubt our overall strength."


    "The core of this n is elsewhere."


    There were a few favors that needed to be called in.


    But before that, Damien gave the necessary exposition for those who needed it.


    He told them about Dante''s imprisonment, then went on to speak about what he''d learned about the Sacred Abyss Universe and the Straea n''s connection to the Foreign Races.


    After that, he expanded a little more on the few connections he''d made sinceing to this world.


    Since everyone had the necessary foreknowledge for theing conversation, Damien was finally able to get into the guts of the n he''d concocted.


    There was a lot of preparation to be done.


    Some of it was in matters the people here couldn''t even fathom, but since their Young Lord was speaking so confidently, they had no choice but to believe his words.


    This was too serious of a matter for jokes and exaggeration, after all.


    It took Damien over an hour to get through it all, and by the end, everyone in the hall was left speechless.


    The thoroughness of this n, the fact that it didn''t even leave a single crack for the enemy to escape through…


    It was quite a monstrous disy of scheming.


    And that''s what they thought without knowing everything.


    There was a certain fact Damien kept to himself.


    His own power level.


    He was confident in his n mainly because of how much of it relied on his own participation.


    He trusted his abilities more than anything else. The problem was, he couldn''t let others have the same feeling right now.


    He couldn''t let them get overconfident because they were following someone powerful.


    That was a fatal w that caused many an influence to fall during Damien''s days in Grand Heavens Boundary.


    Nevertheless, the emergency meeting soon came to an end.


    The confusion that everyone entered the hall with was gone, reced with a sense of anticipation and seriousness.


    Damien gave them a month to prepare everything they needed.


    It was only a month because there were things that needed to be done before the war could begin.


    As the meeting hall cleared out, Damien stayed back with his mother, aunts, and uncles for some extra conversation.


    He told them a more in-depth version of what he told everyone else, and more than that, he stayed back just to chat with them.


    They were his family, after all. What was the point if he only ever talked to them about serious matters?


    By the time that conversation ended, a few more hours had passed, and by the time Damien returned to his residence, it was already nighttime.


    He''d spent the rest of the day finding the two fastest messengers the pce had to offer.


    And the two in question had just set off for their own unique destinations.


    Everything was moving ording to n.


    The only real question was whether or not all this nning was really enough.
