Chapter 1500: Talk
While Rain was preparing for things outside, everyone inside the pocket dimension was surprised by how much time he had bought them... his powers increased a lot, to the point that they barely could understand it. However, their thoughts changed when Elisabetha suddenly appeared there.
"What is wrong, Elisabetha?" Sakaki asked when she appeared. "Why did Rain send you this time alone?"
"You tell me, I don’t know what that guy has in the head,"
When everyone heard that, they stopped their training and began to gather around the area... eventually, Elisabetha explained to them the last conversation they had, and everyone looked at each other confused.
"Dad isn’t insane; he isn’t going to do anything stupid that will put the final battle at risk," Sealyn said after she had thought for a while. "He also knows that trying to keep us away from this battle is useless... the machine gods will hunt all of their enemies."
"This is also different from the other time... he isn’t going to make us move by force," Sears added. "Still, he must be trying to buy time."
"Do you think that he thinks that we aren’t ready yet?" Terra asked while holding her chin. "I know that the more time we get, the better, but what is he planning to do to buy that time? To become the bait for the machine gods?"
No one could tell what Rain was thinking. Even his parents never had much success reading his mind when he was a kid. Even his wives had a hard time imagining what he would cook before or during a battle when it came to strategies. Still, if they couldn’t run and Rain couldn’t keep them away from the battle, then he was truly doing whatever was necessary to buy time.
"What do you guys think we should do?" Roan asked while looking at the relics.
"You have two options: follow his idea without knowing it or try to break free from the pocket dimension..." Sakaki said.
"You all are pretty far behind in terms of the space aspect, though," Nigel said. "Considering how many times you guys have been here, his skill should be at level five hundred or something. Talk about falling behind, huh?"
Everyone decided to ignore Nigel as usual since he was annoying, also as usual. A lot of the people there wanted Rain to take the reins over things a bit more and be more assertive with his actions and words... However, that was a bit too much. They didn’t know what he had in mind, but it was clear that it would be pretty difficult for them to accept readily.
