Chapter 83: The Final Preparations
“Sorry for making you all wait. Ah…”
As Gaia and Mios returned to the dining hall, they mumbled their apologies while taking their seats, ready to enjoy dinner. Then, they noticed… the food on the table was completely gone.
“Sorry! I saw you two weren’t back, and I was worried the food would get cold and go to waste, so I ate it all.”
Weirafiya patted her belly, showing that she had polished off every last bit. It wasn’t entirely her fault; Gaia and Mios had been gone way too long. If they didn’t hurry back, the food would have ended up wasted, so in a fit of generosity, she finished it all.
“It’s fine, it’s fine! It’s better this way. Worst case, we just have the chef whip up another round. Mios, could you please let the kitchen know to work overtime and make a new batch?”
“Sure, no problem! I’ll be right back!”
With that, Mios hopped off with enthusiasm.
“Gaia, about tomorrow’s battle plan.”
Since there were no other distractions, Yake felt it was best to discuss the battle plan in detail. Especially since Weirafiya and Yaser had only just arrived and didn’t know the specifics.
“Yeah, go ahead. Any questions?”
Gaia nodded for Yake to continue.
“For tomorrow’s battle plan, I’d like to hear in detail about the processes we’ll follow. Who will be responsible for fighting Diablo, and who is tasked with storming the enemy’s base to rescue Ailin?”
“Alright, here’s the scoop. Miss Aierjisi will play the bait, luring Diablo to a spot we’ve set up beforehand. There, we’ll use our device to siphon Diablo’s energy. Once he’s drained, his battle prowess will take a big hit. After that, Yake, Yaser, and Miss Weirafiya will work together to hold him down. If possible, taking him down on the spot would be even better.”
When it came to that Diablo, Gaia could hardly contain his hatred. Because of that guy, Ailin was now gone from his side. If he could take him out right then and there, he would definitely pop open some champagne to celebrate his death.
“As for Miss Aierjisi, once she’s lured Diablo to our prepared spot, she needs to hurry over to the Teleportation Gate and join us for the rescue operation.”
If it weren’t for Aierjisi already mentioning wanting to enter the enemy base with them, Gaia would have actually preferred to send her to fight Diablo alongside Yake. But since she had already said it, he let it go. Three people should be enough to handle a weakened Diablo anyway.
“That’s all. That’s the plan for tomorrow. Any questions?”
After explaining the battle plan to everyone present, Gaia asked if there were any remaining questions. If not, they would go ahead as planned tomorrow.
“I do have a question!”
Weirafiya raised her hand, signaling she had something to ask.
“Miss Weirafiya, what’s on your mind?”
“About storming their base. Isn’t that a bit too reckless? You don’t know anything about their stronghold, do you?”
“I’m aware of that. But to rescue Ailin, I have no other choice. Sometimes, for the ones you love, you have to take risks.”
Weirafiya’s concern mirrored what Aierjisi had said earlier. Charging into the enemy base without any knowledge was indeed dangerous.
But even if there’s just a 1% chance of rescuing Ailin, it’s worth attempting this plan.
“Alright, let me ask you this: what will you do if you run into other Ultimate Life Forms? Diablo isn’t the only one, you know?”
“That’s…”
Gaia had thought about this possibility himself. After all, it was the enemy’s base, and it was impossible that there weren’t any strong foes around. If they encountered other Ultimate Life Forms, he wouldn’t stand a chance against them, and how to handle that became another issue.
“You don’t need to worry about that, Weirafiya. Don’t forget, I’ll be going in with you. If we run into Ultimate Life Forms, I’ll take care of it.”
Just when Gaia was still pondering what to do in that scenario, Aierjisi spoke up.
“You? Aren’t you also unable to beat them? Are you really going to put all your hope into that so-called divine power?”
Weirafiya looked at Aierjisi, thinking that if she had any trump card to defeat the Ultimate Life Forms, it would be that divine power.
“Indeed, that’s exactly my plan. Last time, I barely escaped from a wall, but this time, if I use it in the enemy’s base, there will be no choice for them to run away.”
Sure, Gilbaris could just decide to bolt for another location. But if he fled, he would effectively be abandoning his base, which Aierjisi would undoubtedly obliterate in his absence.
If he didn’t run, he would fall victim to Gaia’s attack, either getting critically injured or taken down on the spot.
Regardless of whether he chose to run or not, the outcome favored Gaia.
“You’re going to take such a gamble, huh? If you lose, you won’t be coming back.”
Weirafiya cautioned Aierjisi not to forget what’s at stake with losing.
If she managed to trigger her divine power, things would be fine. But if she failed or was defeated before she even succeeded, she wouldn’t return at all.
“Yeah, I know what losing means. But hey, we’re the protagonists here; our luck can’t be that bad, right?”
After all, she was someone who had cleared the game and entered this world. The so-called savior chosen by the gods had a pretty good chance of successfully triggering her divine power.
“Alright then, if you’re saying that, I won’t stop you. But just know if you don’t come back successfully, I won’t be responsible for you, got it?”
If this rescue mission failed and Ailin wasn’t saved, not only would Aierjisi be caught up in it, but Weirafiya wouldn’t fight alongside them anymore. Instead, she’d choose to flee across this world until her life came to an end.
