"And the last phase..." Mae turned grim. "As soon as we reach this phase and somehow push the alien to the berserk state, we can’t predict what will happen. The enemy is that strong.

"As a last resort, Nathan might use the Soul Contract to forcefully bring a true god to their former peak. And even with that, there’s no telling whether we can win or not.

"Besides, I’m sure you understand by now what it means pushing a true god to their peak. With his luck, the black cell will definitely see it and force the control over Yog-Sothoth.

"If possible, I don’t want to go down that route if it’s not necessary."

Evelyn crossed her arms. "What do you think if we just leave this one? I mean, we can return here in the future."

"Not possible. The alien has been accumulating its power. Although it has been sealed like that, we’ve made contact with the alien.

"Obviously, the black cell on that alien will recognize us. If we choose that option, the alien will break out at any time and decimate the empire. While it’s true that I don’t care much about the empire, the alien becomes an unknown variable for us.

"At that time, the alien might even try to use the accumulated energy to strengthen the portal before going to the portal leading to our previous planet.

"It can defeat the three protectors and destroy that world. In addition, that planet’s Great Mist lasts for quite some time.

"Even if it ends, the lingering energy won’t dissipate easily. So, the alien won’t need much time to strengthen that portal. After taking over that world, it will just be a matter of time before that kind of alien arrives at our world.

"True that there is Elysion as our last trump card, the man who is closest to a true god, or he might already have become a true god right now.

"Either way, you already know what it means if Elysion fights. His existence might end up being considered the same threat as us, and the alien will have no choice but to destroy our planet.

"If possible, we would like to save Elysion for the last battle against the black cell or Azathoth.

"That’s why it’s necessary to kill this alien."

With such a lengthy explanation, there was no way for Evelyn to refute Mae’s words. It looked like they really had no choice but to kill this alien right now.

"Okay. That means everything will be unknown, and the empire can also mess with our own rhythm." Evelyn nodded in understanding.

Selena raised one finger. "If Nathan can join the battle from the beginning, we may be able to keep the variable in check. However, it doesn’t look like we can do that with the empire’s situation."

"Indeed." Bella agreed with her statement. "The empire seems to be mobilizing their soldiers as well. There are a lot of soldiers moving around, so I’m assuming that they’re going to go on a pretty big campaign. Unfortunately, we don’t know the target. The plan is kept secret from the others.

"All we know right now is that there are four armies that will go on the campaign—Imperial Army, Imperial Sword, Imperial Shield, and Imperial Spear. Each of them will be commanded by an Alpha, but from what I’ve heard, the emperor might lead the campaign personally."

"That’s indeed concerning. This is at the same level as the campaign to seal that alien. However, the weaponry is greater, so I guess we can say that this is bigger." Machina looked down, contemplating.

"Do you have any solution for the empire?" Nathan asked. "I know you don’t want me to destroy it, but I need to somehow stop them."

"Unfortunately, I don’t have any solutions right now, Master. I can try reasoning with them, but there’s no guarantee it will achieve what you want." Machine shook her head. "If I only had more time, I would have been able to do more. But all this time, I’ve been taking advantage of the time domain.

"It’s still not enough. Maybe if I can draw energy from the sun itself, there might be things I can do, but right now, I’m not optimistic."

Nathan frowned. "I guess we will have to do it the hard way. For now, I can’t guarantee anything. All of you need to survive."

"Master! There might be a solution." Mae tugged Nathan’s sleeve.

"Hmm?!" Nathan raised his eyebrows.

"What do you think about using Jinwu? Jinwu is the sun, you know? What if we use Jinwu, Luna, and a magic circle to aid Machina?"

"Jinwu?"

"Yes. There used to be a legend about nine suns in the sky. A divine archer shot down eight, leaving only one sun. And that one sun was Jinwu. Can you draw out the energy from Jinwu’s?"

"I can’t say anything without trying it first. But if I can get the energy from the sun without being spotted by the empire, then I might have a chance. The problem is drawing energy from the sun."

"Suppose you can draw that energy, what are you planning to do?"

Machina’s poker face remained even though she was giving a rather ruthless plan. "Of course, taking over their spaceships.

"If they’re going to attack us, they will need to move closer to us. That means they can’t get the energy from the sun.

"In that case, I will just outrun their energy and take over all their fleets. Once everything is under my command, I can help you."

"But won’t it be trouble to you?"

"My main body will be in trouble, but if you just bring me elsewhere and let me reconstruct a few things to ensure that my main body is not found and still can receive some energy continuously to keep running, everything will be fine. I will release the imperial fleet once we’re done with the mission. It’s just... this action might make the empire look at you with hatred."

"I don’t particularly care right now. Besides, we have you now."

"I appreciate it, Master. I’ll definitely not disappoint you."

"Okay. In that case, we should test it out first and see if we will adjust our plan or not."
