Acht immediately returned to the bar and found a huge mess happening.
Weltz was obviously in the center of that mess, he kept hitting the table in anger and frustration while shouting.
"We are fucking late!" He said.
"Calm down, Weltz. We must keep ourselves calm and level-headed. I don't think that cursing and shouting will solve it." Torn said as he crossed his arms with the most serious look he ever had.
Lenny took a deep breath before exhaling it in the form of a sigh. He had no idea stuff would become this chaotic in less than a day since they discovered the clones. It was a miscalculation for his side but he had no control over what he should expect anyway.
He then turned the TV on and the first thing that appeared was the news reporter standing in the middle of the street with a clear distressed face. Behind him were hundreds of people running in all kinds of directions while screaming loudly.
Every one of them wanted to run away to save their own lives from this sudden enemy that appeared above their heads. Even though they clearly heard what the voice said to all of them, they still didn't care about that and only wanted to preserve their lives.
Beside the news reporter were many live streams from different cities across the globe. Each one of these cameras showed a huge ship floating in the sky silently and covering the whole sky.
"They have already reached every part of the Lower World. They are basically now in full control of most cities of the world." Lenny said with a frown.
He was already aware that they didn't seem to be the type to care about peace and other things like that. They probably offered this supposed peaceful surrender just to not waste their time on a useless war.
Nestern was still frozen but then he shook his head and started walking to the door again.
"Hey, where are you going?" Jack asked.
Nestern halted his steps and looked at him as he said.
"I'm leaving. You better pray that I find the origin warrior before the 3 days were over or you lot are fucked." He said with a grave tone.
No one interrupted him as they knew that the war was basically something imminent and it would start in 3 days so they might as well start preparing.
Acht was silent the whole time as he thought of all kinds of plans and solutions but none of them seemed to be the best choice for this situation.
His only choice at the moment is to wait for the 3 days to pass and then see what to do. He had a hunch that maybe, just maybe...This heart he has inside of him now could actually be the key to winning this war.
'I should also start consuming one or two SSS-Rank soul stones. That will probably take me 3 days to complete with the amount of energy in them.' he thought to himself.
**************************
Meanwhile, Leislet and Scarlett who were still outside were already on their way to the hotel as fast as they could.
In just a matter of minutes, hundreds of phone calls came to them at the same time. They had already been told about the situation in every other place in the world.
Especially Leislet, she was now under immense pressure as the world was in chaos at the moment and the hunter association was also having a really hard time trying to put things under control for the time being.
She had to leave Evernight and go back to Lagradon as soon as possible. If she had a choice, she would've rather stayed here to search for Acht and protect him. But, for a better future for both of them, for a future where they could live happily without any sadness or suffering, she had to leave now.
'Dammit! Nothing is going according to plan!' She thought to herself as she reached the portal along with Scarlett who also needed to go back to her family.
However, as they were about to leave the place, another thing that made them freeze in their places happened.
Just a few kilometers away from Evernight, many silhouettes could be seen flying at an unbelievable speed directly toward the city.
The dark sky didn't allow Leislet and Scarlett to see who they were. However, they knew that no matter who these people were, they weren't here to help them at all.
Almost instantly, a huge amount of soul force pressure weighed down on them as they squinted their eyes in pain and tried to resist the sheer strength that was pulling them down. It was so strong that it was suffocating.
Even around them, civilians started losing consciousness everywhere. Their eyes rolled back and their mouths started frothing excessively as they fell down.
In less than 30 seconds, thousands of people were on the ground. The screams and loud steps of people running turned to horrifying silence.
These creatures finally reached the city and then approached the ship. There were at least 100 of them flying in the sky like giant birds.
Leislet squinted her eyes as she tried to discern who they were and when she was able to identify them, her face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
Her eyes also widened to the maximum.
"No! No! This can't be. Fuck, this is way worse than I predicted. Way worse!" She muttered as her heart started beating loudly.
"What? Who are they? Do you know them?" Scarlett asked with a mix of confusion and worry in her voice.
Leislet didn't answer as she kept looking at the creatures in the air. She could already see her worst nightmares becoming true.
'There are hundreds of these?!'
When they reached the ship, the creatures adjusted their positions and stood in long lines surrounding the ship like some kind of army. Their faces didn't show any emotions, only pure indifference.
Their way of standing and looking down on the whole world made Leislet realize one thing.
'We can't win this war! We can't fight back! We will all be killed.'
