While Kazuto and the others were steadily raising their level and expanding their power, preparations for a showdown were underway in another world.

"Hah..."

A corridor in a certain royal castle.

There was a girl sighing.

It will be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

He wore black clothes and had a large cross tattoo on his forehead.

Her name is Orion Kahler.

He was one of the two heroes selected by the advance party to carry the name of the [Holy Cabinet].

"How did this happen...?"

It's just a solitary conversation.

Ever since I was selected by the advance party - or more accurately, since I learned about the life of the world and heard about plans to invade another world - it's been a problem that haunts her head.

"I'm not convinced that we can invade without discussion..."

In the first place, the act of "invasion" itself is not completely satisfactory from her point of view.

Since our world has reached the end of its lifespan, we will invade another world and make it our new world.

Isn't that too selfish a rationale?

"... that's probably why Mr. Liber has cursed us, too..."

A woman who is considered to be the best sorcerer in the world.

She divided herself with them and went to another world.

To stop our plans.

"... if I could, I'd like you to take me with you."

Then I could have a conversation with someone from another world.

As a bridge connecting the two worlds, I could appeal for their migration more peacefully.

But in order to do that, I had to abandon being a person.

The system created by the Sage is programmed to send only monsters, not people, to the other world first.

Only by falling into the Undead like Liber and Ivar could I transfer to the other world ahead of time.

And she could not abandon being a 'person'.

She couldn't turn the whole world into enemies like Liber, or shut up like Ivar.

"What a halfway mark, I..."

I couldn't choose either, so I'm still bothered.

I'm disgusted that I came all the way here cheating because I couldn't choose.

"Were you bothered by maggots again?"

There was a response to my solitary remark.

The one who turned around was a beautiful man.

She was carrying a red spear and had one eye covered with a bandage.

Beld Raven, just like the Orions, was chosen as a member of the advance party.

"Mr. Verdo... do you really think this is good?"I'm not convinced at all.They... attack unilaterally without a place to talk to other people. "

"I can't help it."

Cutting off her doubts, the man who was called Verdo snapped.

"We don't have time for this."Now that we have a place to talk, there's no way the rest of the universe can be ready to accept us.There's only three months left before this world ends. "

"But you still don't know what you won't try, do you?"I'm sure that if we discuss it properly..... "

Even if it's all in vain as a result?

"Ugh..."

“I support Randall.It's true that he's a nasty man, but he puts the people first. "

"... but the people don't include otherworldly people..."

"Of course, we're heroes, but we're not gods."There are only a few people who can be saved.The point is a matter of priority.It is only natural that we should prioritize our own world over other worlds.I think it's bad for the otherworldly people, but we still had no other way. That's all there is to it. "

……

”Besides... if only I could get rid of the traitor.”

When I said that, for the first time, Berd's expression was distorted.

To the expression of anger and hatred.

"Traitor... do you think your brother, Ivar, really betrayed us?"

"Of course. As I retired, I betrayed us to the otherworldly humans."That is no longer my brother.It's just a family disgrace. "

Her hand gripped Verdo's spear was full of strength.

It doesn't matter to him what the mission of the world is.

There is only one obsession with him.It's a stain on the family, just killing his real brother, Ivar.

All the problems are nothing compared to that.

Then another will appear, joining the conversation.

"Haha, neither Orion nor Verdo was thinking too hard..."

He was an unmotivated, domineering man.

His name was Glenn.

He was one of the two [Flaming Emperor] 's predecessors.

"Our job is only to go to another world and kill other people."Why do you think it's so difficult? "

"Just kill me... that's not the problem."People from other worlds are the same as us. "

"Ah, that's fine." That's what a great person thinks appropriately after the work is done...It's our human rights, our territory, and we can discuss it appropriately after we hit each other once. It's really troublesome. "

Glenn traced his impure beard as he yawned.

Without domination or motivation, the Orion takes it to his head.

Who could believe it?

This sloppy middle-aged man is the only man in the advance who can fight against that Liber.

Besides, unlike us, Orion decided on a "job" from the beginning, so it should be easy.

"Ugh..."

The Orion clogs his words.

Glenn was right, she and the other two had a role to play from the beginning.

Rather, it may be said that she and the other two were selected as the advance party only for that role.

Otherwise, no matter how heroic, no opponent like her would be chosen.

“So, what brings you here?”

Until then, the silent Verdo asks.

"Ah, that's right. They're both called by Randall.Maybe it's up to the entire advance party to call it in. "

"Tell me that quickly, you idiot!"

The three of them hurried to Randall.

There were already other members in the hall.

Their leader, Randall, scolds the three of them for coming late.

"It's too late."

"I'm sorry, the poop took too long."

"You... ok. Now we're all here."

Randall gave Glenn a momentary expression, but he quickly took it back.

I slowly looked over at the nine people who were traveling to other worlds with me.

All nine of them deserved to be called heroes in this world, headed by the [Flame Emperor].

Each of them has six kings, forbidden spells, and the power to fight even monsters like the Divine Tree.

Too many members to use as a force.

But they weren't strong enough.

After all, the opponent was accompanied by the [Death King] Liberty Label.

By now, I'm probably teaching people from other worlds their tactics and countermeasures.

Indeed, if measures are taken thoroughly, even if there is a difference in power, it may be possible to overturn it.

Randall understands the importance of compatibility and tactics.

"But that's only if there's enough time..."

He overturns the premise.

So, for example, what if we could transfer it to the other side at this moment?

In addition to being ill-prepared, the enemy will be ambushed by the best forces in the other world.

We will have a definite victory.

But for that to happen, we need more modifications to the system and enormous amounts of energy.

If further modifications are made to the current system, which has already been tampered with twice, the system may cause errors and the worst system itself may collapse.

"Liber, you'll regret betraying us..."

Randall came up with it.

The way out for system modification and how to replenish energy to make up for it.

He takes out the purple crystal from his pocket.

It's a master key to intervene in the system.

The raised crystal emits a dazzling light and conveys his intentions to the system.

So that we may move to his land at this time and sooner than our own transfer time.

Everything was behind the Liber, to ensure our victory.

Randall proclaims high in front of the advance party.

"Now, gentlemen, the time has come.Let's travel to a different world. "

The invasion begins as soon as possible.

Best timing for the advance party.

And it was the worst time for Kazuto and the others.
