I wanted to test the effect of such theory, but the real results would have to wait until later. The real test would be left when the enemy would strike.
Even if it failed to lower most of the enemy's strength, it'd be enough to make them stop in their tracks.
Another dilemma I had to find a way to solve.
According to the Silverlining, this race wouldn't get killed using normal methods.
Using arrows, swords, or other weapons would fail if they were used in their pure form. Even using cultivation energy wouldn't work as well.
This was the first time I heard about the failure of cultivation energy. I always considered cultivation energy to be a cornerstone of my future strength.
Even against the hostile universe's enemy forces, the cultivation never failed. But this time it proved to be pointless.
"Weird…" I muttered when I thought about this, "they have real bodies, but only the fiery auras can harm them. Is it related to fire itself, or auras in general?"
From what I got, the enemy was vulnerable to either fire or the energy coming out from using an element.
And that issue made me question my threads in taking over the enemies. "My threads are formed of pure energy, if so then my threads will be fine," I reached such a logical conclusion after long minutes of thinking.
I stopped doing anything for now, and just sent an urgent meeting message to Isac after returning to the first world I appeared at.
That world was considered now the home base of this entire operation. As I waited for her to arrive, I kept thinking about the different problems I had.
My bones would be used to stop this enemy, and wear its strength down. That meant they wouldn't be able to greatly harm my people, or destroy much of my defences.
However my bones wouldn't directly kill them. If I didn't use my dark realm bones and armed them into deadly bombs, then there was no way to kill such enemies.
When I asked Silverlining before about ways to harm and kill such enemies, he said only fire explosions would work. And the ones who took part in this quest before had to use tons of explosions to keep the endless enemy forces at bay.
That wasn't going to work! And for the first time ever, I felt this one month period of peace was a hindrance to me and not a help!
I had to find other ways to kill these dudes, or else my earlier plans about invading their worlds and bringing the fight to their lands would drastically fail.
Tsk! If I had a way to find these folks and test things over them, then I'd not be in such a dilemma from the start.
But it wasn't that bad actually. We got one whole year ahead of us. So I'd rather tweak little changes in the overall plan set by Isac and others, using the first month as a test period for different theories and see which would work better than others.
"What happened?" Just as I got lost in my thoughts, I heard Isac's voice coming from my side.
She arrived here without even detecting her presence. Which was the first time to ever happen.
Seeing me like this must have told her about what was going on. And she didn't come alone, she brought over Lily, Sara, Alex, and Legend as well.
I didn't know why they arrived with her, but it seemed she was meeting up with them when I sent her a message.
"Well… There is new information about what we are going to face…" I didn't keep anything hidden from all of them.
I didn't need to think about inviting all of the generals over. After all, I was pretty sure the news would spread like wildfire after my meeting with Isac would be over.
And with the presence of others, I knew the news would reach the ears of other generals much faster now.
I told them about everything I learnt, shared my doubts, thoughts, and theories with them.
The more I spoke, the much gloomier they became. Once finished, a heavy silence prevailed over the entire place with such a suffocating atmosphere.
"Damn! What made us fight this time!" The first to speak up was Lily, and for the first time ever she complained about my decisions.
"We have to do this," I wouldn't explain much about my real reasons behind doing all this, but I knew she had a point in what she just said.
"Then…" Isac looked at others before adding, "does this mean these folks are immortals or what?"
"They are hard to kill," I nodded, "but there is a way to kill them…"
I explained in further details about the theories behind fire and energies. When they heard it, Sara was the first to speak up this time.
"I need as many bombs and missiles as you can give me, and let me go to those bastards and kill them alone!"
This girl… She totally missed the entire point of all this!
"It won't work this way," I shook my head before adding, "we have enough ammunition to secure our places, but not enough to kill our way into the enemy's backlines or further."
"We need to test out these theories before deciding anything," Legend said something that finally made quite sense.
"But we don't have any of these folks around," Lily sighed, "we have to wait for this peaceful period to pass before doing anything."
"That's true," I nodded, "and we need to start modifying our entire plans based on this information."
Isac slowly nodded before I handed over the defensive plans Silverlining sent over to me.
Once I finished speaking with him, he sent over what we agreed upon. In return I paid him full price in bones. But I never checked the things he sent as my mind was busy thinking about all these issues.
