Chapter 1509: Out of tricks
In that moment of surprise, Rain assumed that the newcomer could only be Lonos, the machine god of time. His presence loomed over the cosmic tapestry, his influence stretching across the fabric of reality itself. Rain’s intuition told him that Lonos would not take kindly to Arel’s apparent delay or deviation from their shared objectives, and his mind raced with the implications of this unexpected development.
"The dragon isn’t making a move yet, so why do I have to take things seriously against this one here?"
"He has been absorbing energy from the start of the battle, far beyond what his body should withstand, and he hasn’t used it yet. It is clear that he came up with a plan, but Fortus can’t tell what that plan is. Dispose of him quickly."
"Really? That is a first. This makes me more curious, though."
Arel could tell that the things that Fortus couldn’t predict were things that had never happened before, and they tried all experiments that they could think of using all the data of all the civilizations that they had gathered for millions of years... it was hard to imagine that a single being like Rain could outdo them in that regard.
"If we kill him that easily, we will never be able to learn what he is planning, and that will be a loss, don’t you think?"
"Fortus already has plenty of data about him, he won’t reveal anything. Dispose of him immediately."
The atmosphere returned to normal, so it looked like Lonos was no longer around... from all the machine gods that Rain saw until now, he seemed like the most serious one... dealing with that kind of enemy would be truly difficult... but right now, Arel was the most troublesome one that Rain had faced.
"You heard your boss better kill me as soon as possible." Rain shrugged. "You don’t want to get on his bad side before getting your promotion."
