“Look, the one being criticized is me, not you. What are you afraid of?”
the Star Spirit replied in a nonchalant tone. Upon hearing this, the Space Spirit blinked, tilted her head, and counted on her fingers for a while before nodding.
“Ah, that’s true.”
The Star Spirit quickly patted her on the shoulder and said in a matter-of-fact tone,
“Then it’s settled. You help me destroy the extra parallel worlds, and I’ll help you find vassals. Deal!”
“Hmm… Although something feels off… But for the sake of vassals, I agree!”
The Space Spirit nodded earnestly with a serious expression.
‘This guy is way too easy to fool…’ the Star Spirit thought speechlessly as she watched the Space Spirit leave.
Only after the Space Spirit’s portal had completely disappeared did the Star Spirit let out a long sigh.
She turned back to look at the Magic Mirror, mentally calculating how to deceive the Divine Administrator’s watchful eyes.
‘Hang in there, kid…’ the Star Spirit sighed inwardly. ‘Better not die again…’
In a haze, Noah opened her eyes. Something was waving in front of her.
She focused and saw Xin waving a hand. Noah realized her gaze was fixed directly on Xin’s chest, as if she were staring intently.
Xin looked at Noah’s dazed eyes and asked,
“Like what you see?”
“Uh… Yeah…”
Noah was still groggy and answered instinctively.
“Huh?”
“Ah! No, no! That’s not what I meant!”
Noah finally snapped awake.
She quickly waved her hands, trying to explain that she wasn’t a pervert, but Xin just rolled her eyes, turned around, and continued changing clothes without saying a word.
Only then did Noah realize she had returned to the moment when she and Xin were changing together.
She breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling a weight lift off her chest.
If Death Return had sent her back to the Warehouse District, Noah thought she’d be depressed.
The current situation was perfect.
She quickly changed into her uniform, then left the room with Xin.
The other members had already changed, waiting for the leader to give orders so they could advance to the Control Room.
Having learned from the previous experience, Noah now understood where her mistakes lay.
First, no one knew the real strength of the Control Room manager.
That was how Hudson, with his Earth Divine Power, had trapped them inside.
Second, their team was too conspicuous.
Naya and Xin’s features were impossible to hide and would easily expose them.
Finally, they couldn’t allow the New Truth Organization to sound the alarm.
Even if they could kill Hudson, other New Truth members could swarm and surround them. After careful consideration, Noah told everyone to hold off and explained her plan to the group.
“Everyone, the divination has yielded new results.”
Death Return was Noah’s biggest secret, so she couldn’t tell others. She looked at her teammates seriously.
“According to the divination, the Control Room manager is a major problem. He has Earth Divine Power and is extremely vigilant. My plan is to form small squads and enter the Control Room from various entrances. Replace the operators there to prevent them from sounding the alarm. Then Suo’en and Xin will kill the manager. He must not be allowed to leave the Control Room.
Let me emphasize again: this manager has Earth Divine Power, making his defense exceptionally high. Ordinary methods cannot break through. However, I have a trump card. Combined with Miss Xin’s all-out attack, we should be able to take him down. But there’s one tricky problem—Miss Xin doesn’t have a suitable weapon.”
Noah paused and turned to Xin.
“Miss Xin, if you had enough materials, could you forge a greatsword?”
Xin nodded.
“No problem, but we don’t have that many materials right now. Should we go back and look?”
“No need.”
Noah shook her head and looked at Naya.
“Great Leader, where is Shabu now?”
Naya thought for a moment.
“Standing by at the rear. You want her to find materials?”
“Yes. She’s very fast, and her tentacles can carry a lot of materials at once, greatly improving efficiency. Half of us will search for materials, and the other half will go to the Control Room to find opportunities to replace the operators.”
As Noah outlined her plan, she ordered the others to move out.
“Shagai Squad, head to the Control Room. Everyone else, rendezvous with Shabu and look for metal materials. The rest of us will discuss how to kill the manager. Time is of the essence. Move out!”
“Yes!”
After receiving orders, the Primordial Organization got moving. Noah looked at Naya, Suo’en, and Xin, who were still there, and beckoned them over.
“Three of you, although we need to kill the manager, we must not alert the enemy. I’ll use the Strength Card. Great Leader, please use your Invisibility on us again. I don’t know how long the Strength Card will last, but it should be more than enough to kill a manager.
One thing to note: the manager will self-destruct upon death. Unlike ordinary members, his explosion is extremely powerful. So my Temperance Card can only be used when he self-destructs. After we fully secure the Control Room, we’ll push forward. That’s my plan. Any objections?”
The plan was flawless, and Naya and the others had no objections.
About an hour later, a member responsible for reporting sent a message: the Primordial Organization had successfully used the shift password to replace the operators inside the Control Room. They had also killed those operators to prevent them from returning and raising suspicion.
The members searching for materials returned one after another, bringing various metal materials so Xin could forge the greatsword.
Shabu also arrived at the meeting room, ready to head to the Control Room for support.
According to the scouts’ reports, the Control Room now contained only the manager and Primordial Organization members.
Naya directed all members to approach the Control Room via different routes while also guarding against other New Truth members coming to report.
If any showed up, they were to be assassinated immediately.
After all preparations were made, Noah drew the Strength Card.
She handed it to Naya and looked at him expectantly as he rewrote the script.
“This is not looking good…”
Naya frowned while using the power of the Script.
“Forcing the script to activate in such a short time consumes more power than normal. I’ll try my best to maintain everyone’s Ghost State. Move quickly. Any delay and things will change!”
Xin hoisted the newly forged greatsword onto her shoulder and waved her hand.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
Inside the Control Room, Hudson was watching the operator shift for the fifth time. He frowned in confusion, wondering why there were so many shift changes today.
Hudson shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh, thinking he was probably overthinking it.
Shift changes had nothing to do with him. His job was to monitor the Control Room’s data.
On the other side, Noah and the others had arrived at the entrance to the Control Room.
Noah pulled out her Tarot Deck and pointed at Hudson.
“Suo’en, slash his throat. Miss Xin, smash his skull. We two will cover you. Go, go, go!”
