Chapter 1369: Initiate an Attack

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The plane channel had slowed down.

Rhode felt a sudden headache when he got this news from his younger sister. It was apparent that this wasn’t good news.

The reason they fought against Chaos head-on was to buy time for his younger sister. He didn’t expect that despite his side being able to hang on, there was actually a problem on his younger sister’s side. Honestly, this surprised him. But what astonished him more was that the problem was on his younger sister instead.

Although Rhode thought that his younger sister was the best sister in the world who was talented and clever, he had to admit that even the most perfect younger sister couldn’t handle some things. For instance, this plane channel, which was a technical job in itself.

In fact, while it was said to be a plane channel, it wasn’t really a passage that allowed his younger sister to penetrate a world’s surface because it was simply impossible. It was like launching a spaceship from Earth across the entire universe. One needed to know how big the entire universe was. Even if the spaceship was traveling at the speed of light, perhaps it still wouldn’t be able to touch the edge of the universe without spending thousands of years.

If one measured it foot by foot, one might not be able to measure the radius of the universe in a lifetime. That was why scientists use all kinds of data to make inferences, rather than foolishly tying a fishing line to a rock and throwing it down the sea to measure how deep it was. In the past, Rhode’s younger sister created the plane channel with the purpose to use it as a radar. It looked for a loophole between the planes of existence, locked on to the area, used powerful energy to bombard the area, and transmigrated over along with that loophole.

And this time, it was even simpler than before. Because his younger sister had the coordinates of Earth, which was the same as having a course in the vast ocean. And with enough patience, one could see the rainbow after the storm. Thereafter, it was just a matter of time, which was what his younger sister originally thought, so she showed a rather optimistic attitude. Moreover, it did go well in the beginning just as his younger sister thought, so she didn’t mind too much.

But soon, she realized that something was wrong. Because Chaos was starting to obstruct the plane channel.

In front of a power stronger than Plane Destruction Bombs, the little resistance of the Chaos creatures meant nothing. Despite that, it still caused a considerable degree of impact. It was a pianist playing a piano piece on stage and from time to time, someone in the audience whistled to disrupt the performance. It was fine if it happened once or twice. But if it were to happen over tens or hundreds of times, it would surely affect the pianist. At the end of the day, perhaps the whole piece would be ruined, not to mention the impact.

The ultimate reason for that was still on his younger sister. Chaos lacked order, but it didn’t mean that they were fools. In the past, the Void Dragon had opened up the plane channel once. What was that saying again? Yes, the same trick wouldn’t work twice…

Perhaps Chaos didn’t notice any problems in the beginning. But as time went by, they discovered that the Void Dragon was planning to open the plane channel a second time, which they couldn’t tolerate any longer. Hence, Chaos began to obstruct the plane channel and instantly caused his younger sister to cry out in distress.

As a result, the speed of the plane channel slowed down. But it wasn’t just as simple as slowing down either. The plane channel was like tides with its ups and downs. If it was a rising tide, it would be easier to get through. But if it was a falling tide, it could take much longer. It didn’t involve a day or two, but might take an extra half a year if there were any accidents.

The thought of having to persist for an additional half a year gave Rhode a massive headache. Although a long war that might last eight to 10 years was possible and considered normal, even the enemies needed to march and rest and both sides could play for time. But the problem was that Chaos didn’t have such demands. To them, they could continue fighting from decade to decade and even for centuries.

Fortunately, the top combatants in the Dragon Soul Continent were equipped with AoE attacks, so they were able to wipe out large areas in one attack. If they were on Earth instead, Rhode guaranteed that Earth would be destroyed in minutes. Putting it bluntly, perhaps the surface of Earth would be rolled up like carpets by Chaos and even the Mariana Trench would be flattened. Not anyone could resist such a formidable enemy.

But even so, Rhode knew that it was absolutely impossible to resist Chaos for half a year more. According to his younger sister’s deduction in the past, he had already prepared for the worst. If this war were to last for another half a year, he would need to deploy emergency measures to stand a chance.

“So, what can we do about this problem? Then again, it’s also true that the cr*p incident before was pretty troublesome too…”

Rhode puckered his brows after listening to his younger sister’s explanation of the current situation. He knew that this was definitely not a good thing to do. Otherwise, his younger sister wouldn’t have complained to him. In fact, the two of them could only communicate with each other.

If this matter was leaked out, maybe the military would falter immediately. After all, the pressure of Chaos was already so huge and hearing such negative news would make things worse. It was like studying hard just for those few days of an entrance exam and being told that the entrance exam would be extended to once every day for a month. Wouldn’t that be crazy?

Besides, Chaos was deadly and even many of the projected players were killed or wounded in battle. Fortunately, Lesa was there to cast several great resurrection spells and they were able to hold down the defenses.

Meanwhile, Rhode heard back from Sonia regarding the incident involving Lilian in the town. Back then, the embarrassed Lilian made a determined effort, and with the help of Icy Snow and Sonia, they found out the troublemakers behind the scenes. As a matter of fact, it was a huge problem.

Just like how some soldiers surrendered in war, there was a group that was formed in the Dragon Soul Continent. They believed that the Dragon Soul Continent was definitely no match against the powerful Chaos forces. Hence, who knew what they did to mess around with a group of Chaos creatures.

They ended up forming a religious organization under the Chaos creatures’ compulsion in the name of contributing to Chaos and whatnot… As for the previous kidnapping incidents, it all occurred out of the personal hobby of a higher-up with the title of High Priest. He loved little girls like Christie and Lillian, so when he saw Lillian and the others outside the clothing shop before, he had some evil thoughts. It just so happened that he had a network of members.

Back then, he thought of luring these girls for his pleasure, but didn’t expect to be exposed soon after. After Lilian learned the truth, she blew her top. She crushed the High Priest into ashes with a wave of her arm and ordered her subjects to capture and punish this group of horrible people. Of course, this was Sonia’s euphemism when she reported to Rhode. As for the grisly details like slaughtering the whole family of those people, it didn’t require the concern of a superior like him.

“… Sigh. That guy sure is a beast. He didn’t even spare those little girls!”

Rhode criticized, sweeping a glance at the battlefield in front of him and revealing a righteous and indignant expression. In his opinion, Lillian was still a child, and only an animal would lay hands on such an innocent and budding flower! And when his younger sister heard his complaint, she coughed lightly and said.

“… Big Brother, back then… I was younger than Lilian, wasn’t I?”

“How could that be the same?”

Upon hearing the younger sister’s words, Rhode waved his arm casually.

“That was true love between us, and true love knows no age, gender, or race! You’re my younger sister. If I don’t love you, who will? Didn’t I still love you even though you were as flat as a board back then?”

“…”

Upon hearing his words, the younger sister fell silent. It was true that her health had always been poor, so her body grew much later than the others. And although Rhode’s words moved her as well, for some reason it just didn’t sound too right…

“Forget it, we’ll talk about this next time.”

Rhode threw such trivial matters to the back of his mind immediately. He knew that he was a man with a clear conscience and never forced women to do things they disliked. He had so many girlfriends on Earth, but none of their relationships ended horribly. Although his taste changed after transmigrating to this world, he wouldn’t be that sick to do it to children.

As for Mini Bubble Gum and Angelina, although they were petite in size, Mini Bubble Gum was barely 16 years old and Angelina had lived for hundreds of years, which was more than the sum of Marlene, Anne, Lize, and Lapis’s age. Angelina also wasn’t an innocent little white sheep who knew nothing about the world. No matter what, they were legal young ladies and couldn’t push the blame to the world for their petite size, could they?

One could only wonder whether Mini Bubble Gum and Angelina would fight him if they knew his thoughts. One of them was a projection, while the other was a vampire, so they couldn’t exactly be blamed for not being able to grow… But after seeing that the real Mini Bubble Gum didn’t seem to grow at all, perhaps the problem was really with her?

“What do you think about the situation with the plane channel?”

Rhode asked his younger sister. And upon hearing his inquiry, his younger sister gave up dwelling on the previous matter and focused on the main topic. In response to his question, she pondered for a while, before letting out a sigh.

“If we don’t put more pressure on Chaos, I’m afraid the problem will become more serious.”

“Put more pressure…”

Upon hearing her response, Rhode knitted his brows. He wasn’t a fool. He knew what his younger sister meant by ‘putting more pressure’. It was apparent that as Chaos was attacking their defenses now, Chaos had the upper hand. If Rhode wanted to turn around from defense to offense, he would need to force them around.

Even though it sounded simple, it was actually a huge pain in the butt. This was all the people he had on the battle lines and they weren’t looking too stable against the crazy number of Chaos creatures. Besides, their defense could work in favorable locations. But if they were to take the initiative to attack, they would be seeking death. Furthermore, he and his younger sister couldn’t move away now…

“Your Majesty, I can be in charge for the time being if you need to be away.”

Sensing Rhode’s hesitation, Karin spoke up. As the core of the Holy Sword Barrier, it was originally her who was responsible for the resonance of the other nine holy sword spirits. And now, Rhode was primarily responsible, while she was in charge of the insurance. So if Rhode weren’t around, it wasn’t like she couldn’t take over for a bit. As long as there weren’t any problems that were too outrageous, they would still be safe.

“What’s the point of me leaving? I’m only at level 85 right now.”

Rhode clearly didn’t accept Karin’s answer. If he were the Void Dragon, he would still be useful to a certain extent. But now, he had distributed his power, so he wouldn’t be playing any determining role even if he left. Besides, in terms of deploying troops, Orchid Heart was more familiar with it than him. She managed the Void Territory in an orderly manner. Hence, there was no need for him to cause any more trouble.

But in this situation, he didn’t feel comfortable if he didn’t keep an eye on the situation himself. Of course, he could put the other four Creator Dragons in charge of launching a counter-attack, but it wasn’t something that was easily doable. With that crippled line of defense in the Country of Darkness, Erin definitely couldn’t leave and Lillian was even less likely to go to the front lines.

The twin dragons were insurance, but the side of the Country of Law was even worse. The number of elves was minimal, and the Country of Law would have been even more screwed if it weren’t for the twin dragons supporting it. Perhaps the moment they launched a counterattack, the entire defense line would collapse and elves would be history.

And at that moment, he suddenly heard his younger sister’s voice.

“Big Brother, I do have a way to restore you to the level of a Void Dragon. And as for the Holy Sword Barrier, there is no need for you to worry too much either. Because originally when I created the Holy Sword Barrier, I had considered this problem and Karin will be able to handle it.”

“Is that so…”

Upon hearing his younger sister’s reply, Rhode was astonished. But on second thought, when she created the Holy Sword Barrier, she definitely didn’t expect there to be two Void Dragons at once. This meant that not only did the Void Dragon need to activate the Holy Sword Barrier, but the Door of Akasha also had to be activated to open the plane channel. If there wasn’t any insurance, perhaps they would be done for if he continued to be distracted.

“How are you going to do it?”

At this thought, Rhode asked. But for some reason, after hearing his question, the younger sister chuckled, pondered, and took her time to answer.

“It’s simple, Big Brother. I can temporarily transfer my power to you as we are blood-related. You and I also have a spiritual connection with each other, so it won’t be too much of a problem for me to transfer my power to you. Also, the power is less likely to be rejected.”

“Transfer your power to me? But what will happen to you? Maintaining the plane channel is the top priority now, isn’t it?”

“Of course, my power will be weakened as a result. But you don’t need to worry about any accidents, Big Brother. If there is a situation on my side where I need to use my power, I will use the spiritual connection between us to immediately take back the power I lent you just in case. So please don’t worry, Big Brother; there won’t be any problems on my side. It’s not my power that’s needed to open the plane channel, but the power of the Door of Akasha instead. As long as I’m still here, and as long as my ‘space’ trait hasn’t disappeared, I can continue the extension of the plane channel, and the plane channel won’t be affected by this in any way. On the other hand, the problem with Chaos must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if I possess the power of the Void Dragon, we may not be able to buy enough time.”

“I see…”

Upon hearing her explanation, Rhode nodded. It seemed like his younger sister had already thought about it. And he didn’t think that she would hide anything from him. After all, he also experienced the power of the Door of Akasha in the past. And if it was really according to what his younger sister said, then there shouldn’t be any problem for the time being even if she lent her power to him.

As long as he settled the issue of the power on his side, leading the Void Territory in launching a counterattack against Chaos shouldn’t be a big problem. Besides, as the younger sister mentioned, scattering Chaos’s attack was the main priority. If they couldn’t get it done, even if she had the power of the Void Dragon, it still wouldn’t mean much. But at this thought and just to be on the safe side, Rhode asked dubiously.

“Are you sure everything will be fine?”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother. I promise there won’t be any problems. It does require a small sacrifice on your part, though.”

“Small sacrifice?”

Upon hearing her reply, Rhode’s heart skipped a beat. She was clearly his younger sister whom he trusted, but why did he instinctively feel like something bad would happen? He frowned at the thought and asked cautiously.

“What sacrifice?”

“Rest assured, Big Brother. As your younger sister, I wouldn’t screw you over, would I?”

“…”

As a man with a sister complex, what else could he say? As long as the younger sister said a word, he would climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames without question. At this thought, he puffed up his chest and a look of determination appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand and gently combed his hair, before speaking in a calm tone.

“I always trust you, Younger Sister.”

“So please continue to trust me, Big Brother.”
