"Now lastly before we disband, who is going to be able to participate in the raid one month from now? Remember we need to be at least three?"

Hearing these words, everyone fell silent.

Considering the words Cresent Moon had just spoken, they knew how important this mission was to them.

Especially considering the fact that everything might be tied to some organisation that could take their powers.

And it was precisely because of this they were hesitant.

Hesitant not because they were afraid, but because, having been in their current position, they knew just how much they had to lose.

Don’t look at the current peaceful world with villain riots from time to time, if the suppression of the twelve of them vanished even just by one, the whole era would begin to downward spiral.

Things would begin to revert back to the way they were during the war.

A situation which neither of them wanted to see happen.

Thinking of this, Tempest was the first to raise his hand.

"I’ll go, Star City is currently safe and I’m the fastest one among all of us."

"If anything happens they won’t be able to stop us from escaping."

"After all, even if I’m not the strongest, I am undoubtedly the fastest."

He said, flicking a tiny lightning bolt with his fingers.

To this, everyone agreed, as even the old Imperion would barely be able to catch up with a full-speed Tempest in a race.

Because of this, everyone felt this was the right choice.

And with Tempest taking the stage, Sentinel, who had been wanting to speak for some time, also spoke up.

"I’ll go too, after all an old timer like me can’t afford to be outdone by kids like you."

"Also what this old man lacks in speed, he has in defence."

"If even one of those monsters or whatever can even pierce my skin I’ll stop smoking for a whole month."

"Haha!"

Taking a deep puff of his cigar, his eyes flashed as a few things ran through his mind.

However, no one paid attention as everyone waited for the third volunteer.

"I can’t go with you both but I’ll send instructions and coordinate the battle from Noctis, I have another lead I’d rather investigate while the three of you act."

"Because of that we still need someone to take up the third spot."

"Also Gia, and Oracle you aren’t allowed to participate as your abilities are too important to lose."

"Also if they don’t just have ability stripping but can plunder and use, the both of you walking into their home base would be nothing but giving meat to a lion."

Said Cresent Moon as he pointed to the two ladies sitting not far from him.

Wearing an all-grey cloak with a grey hood covering her head, making her figure hard to see, sat Oracle, the Seer of Tomorrow.

Blessed with Future Calculation, Precognition, Probability Shift and Information Sense.

She was a key reason they won the war back then and even found each other as a group.

With an ability to predict the future, they couldn’t afford to lose her.

And beside her sat Gia, the Mother of Eden. It wasn’t exaggerated to call her the incarnation of nature based on her abilities.

Both powers who if they fell into the wrong hands would be catastrophic.

Same with heroes like Leviathan who could raise the world’s sea level.

Unless Absolute powerhouses like Imperion or Solaris, Cresent Moon was against sending people with large area-of-effect abilities.

At least until everyone was sure what they were dealing with.

It’s why he consented with Sentinel as despite his strength, Sentinel’s abilities were mostly suited for close combat, meaning if he wanted to cause worldwide destruction it would take him an absurd amount of time.

And as for Tempest, he didn’t believe anyone could catch him.

"I would love to go, but I fear those monsters are making a mock of my city."

"I plan to root out all the federation’s people when I get back."

"Do my worry I won’t say this is the stance of the league rather this is my personal choice."

"At least until we can’t afford to tear faces with them, we should at least give them that level of respect."

Raising his hand, Titan expressed his position as he declined the offer.

Although he knew the backlash he would face from ordinary people, he didn’t care.

"Same, I’ve never liked those Federation fuckers either, it’s time to let them know that the sun is indeed hot."

"Haha!"

Giving a big laugh, Solaris also declined as after this meeting he too had a lot of things he had to prepare.

As the number two hero, he could sense it, even though not everyone was talking, he was sure they all could tell.

The world was about to change again, and they who stood at the top of it would most likely be most affected.

In order not to be affected by the times, he had to prepare.

Silence....

For a while following Solaris’ refusal, everywhere remained silent as everyone seemed to rather want to prepare than go, as the thought of possibly losing their ability was just too much for them to stay still.

Indeed this raid could help them find the culprits behind it, but if it didn’t then what?

They’d rather use that time in improving their strength, than place their hopes in some ethereal findings.

And Cresent Moon, knowing this, kept silent, at this rate he might have to change his plans and just go with Tempest and Sentinel.

"Alright I-!"

Just as he was about to speak up, Imperion who had been silent all this while rose up his hand in the shocked eyes of Lilith.

"Haha I’ll go! Since all of yours seem to be too scared!"

"However before that, I have one thing I’d like to say."

Taking a slight pause with a smile on his face, Ethan said something he had always wanted to say to this group of heroes ever since he read the original book.

"Sorry but not sorry."

"But do you know that some of you are quite brainless?"
