“According to the future which we have all seen, the insignificant being known as Jeremy Lewis should be among those killed in Armageddon.” The Order jointly mentioned, pointing at the hologram of a particular teenage boy displayed above the great white being in the center.
The kneeling white being throbbed a little, feeling the crushing pressure of guilt concerning his actions.
“Yet… He remains alive in your Sector. Not just that, the future ahead of him becomes a glitch after a certain event. We can not see or interfere beyond a certain point in this human’s stream of fate…”
They were right!
Even though these beings were absolutely supreme, that only applied to their sector. To exert a level of influence on another sector, The Order needed the consent of the Supreme Being in charge of that Sector.
However, even though they had no authority in another sector, through the joint power they all shared, the Supreme Beings could at least see through the stream of fate and see the end from the beginning. After all, since they existed out of the bounds of time, they perceived everything; past, present, and future, as one.
But… for some reason, this particular human was beyond their perception and comprehension!
“Explain yourself, Supreme Being A-67!” They all spoke thunderously.
After their voices echoed across the Celestial plane, silence once again reigned as they expected the response of their comrade who had done a grievous wrong.
They did not know what he had done specifically, or how far he had gone, but one thing was for sure… his actions were a violation of everything the Order stood for, as well as an anomaly in the event known as Armageddon!
Dwelling in the silence that permeated around him, this being who bowed and knelt before the others had a little thought within himself. He already knew what awaited him, caused by the consequences of his actions..
He did not regret any of it, and for due reason. Still, he found it unfortunate that things had to end this way. A sad smile appeared on his face for the last time as his final fleeting thought echoed in his mind.
‘Looks like this is the end of the line. Jeremy, I can’t protect you anymore. You’re on your own now…’
He raised his head and this great being met the eyes of the seemingly infinite beings just like himself.
‘… These are your adversaries, Jeremy Lewis. Will you win? I haven’t forgotten what you told me during the last moments of our time together…’
Yes, the moment already erased from history and the mind of the very subject of discussion. However, even though the human in question didn’t remember it… yet, this Supreme Being clearly remembered Jeremy’s last words before his memory was tampered with and was sent to Earth.
He had said the most amusing words.
“I will… consume everything!”
With his sad smile fading, the kneeling supreme being now had to wrap things up from his end.
“I did all I have done for only one reason… and that is #&@&@@-###”
Before everyone, the great white being known as God declared his reasons and intention for plunging the event in his Sector into chaos.
A reason that could not be understood by mere mortal beings as of yet.
*************************************
“A-ah… I feel much better!” I yawned, stretching my body.
It had been a surprisingly long night. I slept more comfortably than I had done in a while, which was ironic considering the fact that I was in no position to do so. Every second wasted was an addition to his enemy’s army.
Still, I didn’t care!
“All the aches in my body are gone. Ah, I feel brand new!”
Not only was I completely cured of any discomfort, I felt myself well up with newfound energy. There was no way I could stay put with such a great feeling.
“It’s still morning, I should do some exercise!”
Returning the camp materials to [Subspace], I moved away from the woods and returned to the flatlands where the Stampede met its end the previous day.
“This should do it…” I muttered, looking around.
No one was around for miles. That was only natural, considering this place had been abandoned. No Hobgoblins entered my radar as well. Since a great deal of their forces had left, they probably didn’t have enough troops to release as scouts.
“At this point, they must be fortifying their defenses pending the time they regain their forces…”
Welp, I had no intention of allowing them to regain their strength. I was going to strike them soon anyway. But, first, I needed to get stronger.
Fortunately, I had a good deal of EXP sitting within the confines of [Subspace], ready to be harvested.
‘Now, how should I do this?’ I reasoned.
The answer wasn’t too difficult. Just like the strategy of the Subjugation force, I was going to take care of the Hobgoblins in batches. If I released them at once I would be in serious trouble.
To get a feel of things, it was best to begin with a small number.
“Let’s start with a hundred… to test things out.” I grinned, checking my surrounding for the last time to ensure no one else was present.
Using <Summon> I brought out exactly a hundred Hobgoblin Warriors.
“GARUIIIIIKKKKKK!!!” The Demons growled, filling the air with their cries the moment they were brought out of their prison.
‘Tch.’ They didn’t have to be so noisy.
Checking through their specs again, I whistled.

Their stats never ceased to amaze me. Even my highest grade weapons would barely be able to one-shot one in a single hit. It proved how badly I needed better equipment.
“Oh well… at least it’s not showing any <Danger> signs…”
That was good! It meant only one thing concerning the fight I was about to engage in.
‘I can absolutely win!’
