Chapter 1374 - Bitter Struggle (2/2)
“Now that Chaos has retreated, you should also start to…”
“…”
Upon hearing Marlene’s words, Lapis turned pale instantly and took two steps backward involuntarily as if the Marlene standing in front of her was a vicious beast about to devour her And after looking at her ashen face, Marlene felt helpless deep down But even so, she braced herself and looked at Lapis, speaking
“You knohat to do, Lapis That was Rhode’s order to you Now that Chaos has retreated, there’s no better tiht us You must fulfill your mission in the shortest possible tian, Rhode had already assigned Lapis her task He knew that after he attracted the attention of the Chaos Core, the a the defensive lines would decrease draht time and plant the Plane Destruction Bombs
That hen he returned, she could activate the Plane Destruction Bo hi Chaos entirely on the outside, ensuring that they wouldn’t invade their world However, Lapis didn’t expect that she would have to fulfill herto…”
“We’re running out of tiet that it’s Rhode’s orders!”
Marlene knehat Lapis was hesitant about One of the features of the Plane Destruction Bomb was that it couldn’t be dismantled after installation Due to this feature, it was like putting a nail in the wall of ‘space’ after installation Moreover, there was no way to remove the nail and it could only be detonated Not only that, but also the longer it was left in space, theto Lapis’s calculations, even if it wasn’t timed after the installation, its stability period was only 24 hours at most After 24 hours, space would instinctively reject foreign objects, and the affected Plane Destruction Boht explode at any chance
Back then, in the Darkness Capital, Rhode and the others were around to guard the place and everyone was together within the safe time That hy Lapis wasn’t worried But it was different now Rhode was nowhere to be seen No one knehen he would get out of the core If she were to plant the Plane Destruction Boet perilous Who knew; maybe he finally broke free from Chaos and the Plane Destruction Bos would surely be lively
That hy Lapis was extre that she could at least contact Rhode and install the Plane Destruction Bo back from him This way, at least he would be able to escape safely As for the Plane Destruction Bombs, Lapis could control them except for the countdown timer As soon as she saw Rhode’s return, it was possible for her to detonate them by remote control
But that also meant that Rhode had a 24 hour buffer If he didn’t return within 24 hours, he would face the threat of the detonated Plane Destruction Bombs
“No, Miss Marlene There’s no word from Sir Rhode yet If I were to plant the Plane Destruction Boerous for him!”
What surprised Marlene was that this tiree with her approach Of course, Marlene also knew that it was dangerous for Rhode But the problem was that she had other considerations of her own The interference fro spiritual communication If Rhode still couldn’t be contacted on his way back, wouldn’t it be too late to reach him after he entered the Void Territory?
Both sides had their own reasons It wasn’t that Marlene was unconcerned about Rhode but these were his orders And while Lapis knew that, she trusted her own judgment more Now that Chaos was in full retreat, a fool would also know that Rhode wouldn’t be able to make it back as easily as he predicted Not to mention, the amount of Chaos he would encounter on his return alone would be several ti the time required on his return as well On the other hand, Lapis had her own reasons too Previously, when Rhode created the plan, he didn’t predict that Chaos would retreat all at once, so the plan had to be changed now As a technician, she was responsible for the technical aspects of the whole plan She wouldn’t do anything that could potentially be dangerous to him
“Yawn…”
At that moment, a yawn broke the tense atmosphere Everyone turned around and saw Orchid Heart, who leaned against the wall, yawning and looking helplessly at the others
“My junior sure is loved by everyone… Lapis, your views are right But Marlene, you aren’t wrong either… Tell you what, Marlene I’ll contact Rhode Even though it will take so surprising happens, I am 80 percent sure that I will be able to reach hio ahead and set up the Plane Destruction Bombs for other areas and wait forher words, everyone was stunned
“Miss Orchid Heart, you are able to contact Rhode?”
It wasn’t surprising that Marlene asked this question Although she was Rhode’s card spirit, there was no way for her to contact hih the spiritual communication In that case, it was even uardian, to reach him But as she so confident of her chances?
“Should be fine”
In response to Marlene’s question, Orchid Heart yawned onceat the croith a lazy suild So at least… The guild ”
