"Haa..." Nathan rested his head on the table, pletely exhausted.
The girls had sat down in their respective seats.
"Now, we know about your situation." Selena narrowed her eyes. "The problem doesn’t really matter to us. However, we should think about how to approach the enemy."
"I wonder if I can make one of those weapons." Luna contemplated. "If I were to be given enough time, it would be possible. Unfortunately, time is something we don’t have."
Sera nodded in agreement. "In that case, we should focus on our main objective. We should go to the gate, but to do that, we should focus on forging our divine body."
"Still, dearie Nathan." Flora smiled. "What do you think about your world? Do you intend to bring everything from that world to this world?"
Nathan shook his head. "In that world, people are killing themselves. It generates pollution... I mean, toxic substances. The humans there release a gas that is harming the atmosphere. The temperature of the world has increased significantly.
"As a result, the ice is melting, which causes the global sea level to increase. They release toxins into the water, polluting the river.
"They even poison your food and drink. It’s not at a deadly level, but prolonged consumption will cause severe health issues. Do you think I want to bring all that here?"
"That’s scary?" Flora gasped.
"There are always two sides. This is the dark side. The Earth is using electricity to power up almost everything. Most electricity is generated by burning coal to turn water into steam and by other processes. In the end, it releases toxic smoke into the air.
"The cars and vehicles you saw in that illusion were moved by gasoline. The burning process wasn’t perfect, so it also released toxic gas into the air.
"There is even one thing that can make things convenient, such as carrying items or using it as a container. They’re called plastics. They’re durable. However, they have a hard time returning to Earth and disappear. A lot of them are being thrown into the sea.
"The fish in the sea eat them, and when you eat the fish, the stuff that has been shredded to the level where it’s not visible to the naked eye anymore will enter your body. It will accumulate and gradually poison you to death."
Flora felt a chill down her spine. She never thought that such a glamorous and beautiful world would have such a hideous hide.
"When people say the brighter the light, the darker the shadow... I think they said it for this kind of situation." Flora sighed.
"All the things that I have brought here are either necessary to stop the aliens or have been adjusted in a way that it won’t harm the world. However, I know that the magic guns I’ve given them will one day bee a weapon that will bring harm to humans. There’s no end to human greed, after all." Nathan shook his head helplessly.
"That... can’t be helped." Flora covered her eyes. She didn’t want to see it, but she thought it was inevitable.
"So, what are we going to do next? Still, everything was planned by this so-called God of Mischief, right?" Evelyn crossed her arms. "What are we going to do with this information?"
"Of course, I have thought about it. First, I intend to visit the three ancient battlefields. However, I’m not sure whether to summon this God of Mischief or not. He will create an unexpected variable. If the prank is not excessive, it’s good. But his prank could kill, so I’m against this idea." Nathan couldn’t imagine what he would do if he lost one of these girls to Loki.
It was better to be safe than sorry, so he dropped the idea.
"But doesn’t this mean we are blind to this so-called plan?" Vivian asked.
"I’m still wondering whether I should use my ability one more time." Nathan crossed his arms.
"That’s a ’NO!’" For some reason, all of them replied at the same time.
"..." Nathan was taken aback. He thought that using the Dimensional Ascension would allow him to find another memory about the gods and their plan.
In fact, from the looks of it, Loki also worked together with the aliens, most likely with Nyarlathotep.
So, he might still be able to find something from Nyarlathotep. After all, there was a chance that those gods wouldn’t be summoned to give him the clue.
The God of Mischief also had to separate the plan into many fragments so that one god wouldn’t know everything. This would prevent the enemy from figuring it out.
Still, Loki might know the entire plan. Or he might use his own ability to erase his own memory after that.
After all, if he were the one ing up with this plan, he could easily e up with the same plan even if he erased his entire memory of the plan.
In the end, the plan originated from his memory of the battle as well as his knowledge about the aliens.
Nathan looked down, contemplating. "For now, I think we should return to our original plan. It’s true that we’ve found shocking information, but we can’t do anything about it yet."
"That’s true." Selena raised one finger. "In that case, let’s do that. By the way, we still need to think about what kind of things we can make by using your world."
"That’s..." Nathan couldn’t exactly deny that the stuff from Earth was indeed good. As long as they were adjusted to match this world, they would be extremely potent against the aliens. "I think we do it this way. You can ask me about what you’re interested in. We’ll see if there is something that can be adjusted to match this world."
"Sure. We can try that." Selena nodded in agreement. "In that case, who will start?"
"Me, me, me!" Sera raised her hand excitedly, so much so that she even stood up. "Do you still remember my dream?"
