Chapter 1474: Destruction
After he was done collecting the batteries, Rain began to work on his failsafe in case the battles on both fronts took a bad turn for any reason... no one knew of his plans, and he knew that everyone would be against that, but he was fine with it. Rain was being self-centered and that wasn’t the first time that such a thing happened.
"It feels like things are going to happen the same way as before... the worst-case scenario always happens when I prepare for them this much," Rain thought. "Still, we are in the end game now... I am willing to go this far. Anyway, how many fail-safes I already have at this point? Well, at least I will be able to say when the time comes: you thought you had outsmarted me, but I outsmarted your outsmarting."
In the end, no one saw Rain since the meeting until the time for the beginning of the mission. They wondered what he was up to since he wasn’t resting since no one knew when they would have the chance to rest after that, but at least he looked ready when he showed up again.
"Red flag, he is doing something behind the scenes again," Terra said.
"Agreed," Seara nodded. "That only means that he has a guilty conscience, and a man only has a guilty conscience for a reason."
"Yes, you are right... I confess," Rain said. "I am guilty of the crime, of all crimes that you must be thinking right now. You can punish me as you see fit; just don’t hurt my face. Wounding my face would be such a pity to all the women in the entire cosmos."
"Yeah, right," Terra said while furrowing her eyebrows.
"I wonder if we still have this type of exchange when we get older and if Rain will still say this kind of nonsense when he is filled with wrinkles," Seara said.
"I will never have wrinkles. Do you know why?" Rain asked. "Because my muscles will have muscles that can flex."
Although Rain said that kind of nonsense, he was worried since Seara just raised a death flag... she didn’t know it was a death flag, so she wasn’t worried, and only Rain would worry about that kind of thing.
Recognizing the efficiency of splitting up their tasks, they decided to utilize Iori’s pocket dimension as a central hub, allowing them to coordinate their efforts more effectively while minimizing the risk of detection by their enemies.
With Rain’s mastery of teleportation and Iori’s pocket dimension at their disposal, they became the linchpins of the operation. Their ability to move swiftly and discreetly ensured that they could maintain a constant presence across the trip, providing support and assistance wherever it was needed.
