Chapter 2: Report and Countermeasures (UNEDITED)

"Velzard's on the move."

Feldway nodded back at Vega, who was staring at the video with a pallid expression on his face.

"Damn, Demon Lord Milim and Zelanus are even more powerful than I thought they would be... Damn, they're powerful as hell. If they can laugh at that, it means that Velzard is not as strong as I am now...."

Even Vega seemed to have realized the reality of the situation when he saw Milim and Zelanus fighting.

No matter how confident Vega was, he could at least understand the difference between Milim and Zelanus.

"Don't be so sad. I, too, have my own feelings when I heard that our long-time enemy, insectar, has been destroyed.

This is Zalario, who has just been recalled.

The Milim forces had won a victory against a powerful enemy that had tormented them so much. Moreover, despite the heavy damage, there were no casualties among Milim's men.

It may be said that it was a difference in conditions and strategy, but Zalario was at fault when he could not prepare for it. In any case, it was no excuse, and the reality was that Milim's team was better than Zalario's team.

No wonder Zalario was not amused.

"So, what are you going to do, Feldway?

The statement was a question about Velzard's behavior.

He seemed to be planning something, but Feldway left it alone.

Zalario thinks that the rapidly changing situation is a major deviation from the original plan, and he wants to say that it is time to change course.

And there was one more person who was indignant.

"That's it. If you had not interfered with me, I would have defeated the divine enemy by now! Let's hear your explanation of what you're up to!"

Returning to the Heavenly Star Palace, Feldway ordered Mai to visualize the war situation on the ground. He then ordered Zalario to bring back Jahil, who had created a diversion to Luminas' camp.

Jahil's action was also too flashy to be called a diversion.

Zalario was right to stop him, but Jahil, who was stopped, was not amused. He asked Feldway, as if he was going to attack him.

"Don't be in such a hurry. You couldn't have taken down Demon LordLuminas by yourself anyway.

"What, are you taunting me?"

I'm not. I only want to proceed with caution. Behold, Dagruel has joined our ranks and the balance of forces is now greatly in our favor. With Fenn as a "three-star general," Luminas is a distant memory.

Feldway told Jahil to calm the angry Jahil.

However, Jahil's dissatisfaction did not disappear.

"Yes, I recognize Fenn's power. But I have to take care of Luminas, the avenger of our great ancestor, with my own hands!

In other words, Jahil's frustration was a grudge born of anger. Whether or not the takeover of Footman had any effect on him is not clear, but his heart was boiling with anger.

That is why he attacked Luminas in a somewhat violent manner. When he was stopped, Jahil was so furious that he wondered why he was furious.

But the next moment.

"Can't you hear my words?"

was Feldway's quiet, unspoken statement.

It was not intimidating, but was uttered in a normal manner. And yet, the air of authority that overpowered the situation caused even Dino and the others who were not participating in the conversation to become tense.

No, no, it was my fault.

Jahil regained his composure and immediately apologized. It was a very wise decision.

"Feldway, your supremacy is poisonous to those who are not accustomed to it. Remember that now that you are in your true form, you are nothing compared to what you used to be."

Zalario defends Jahil, and the situation is finally settled.

And so we are back to where we started.

Currently, Feldway has three strategic goals.

To get the Ultimate Skill 'Hope King (Sariel)' from HeroChronoa.

Eliminate HeroMasayuki as a risk factor. This includes the capture of the Ultimate Skill 'Covenant King (Uriel)'.

The most important objective was to get the 'Dragon Factor' from Veldora.

Feldway decided to rethink the objectives.

First, he thought about the collection of the authority.

Since he has inherited Michael's power, Feldway can identify the angelic Ultimate Skill....

It was Michael, not Feldway, who was concerned about collecting angelic powers. Since he himself was the will that resided in the powers, he thought that he could reach the all-powerful power by consolidating the other powers into one.

All-powerful - in other words, the return of the omniscient and omnipotent Creator.

Although the logic seems to make sense, Feldway was skeptical.

The reason is that Veldanava was not omniscient and omnipotent.

In the first place, Veldanava himself had said that he had renounced omniscience and omnipotence, so there was no room for doubting his words.

On the contrary, Feldway even thinks how nice it would be if Veldanava himself had lied. If it were, he would not have lost his power and been killed by humans.

But then again, it is Veldanava himself who has given the humans their desires. The result of this is a cycle of cause and effect, and it is self-inflicted.

That is why Feldway did not doubt that Veldanava was not omniscient and omnipotent.

For this reason, it did not seem to make sense to look for the missing authority.

Moreover, it is meaningless to have all the powers if there are no recipients.

Feldway and Michael had planned to manifest Veldanava by using the best body of the lineage of the "first heroes" as a vessel. However, this plan has completely failed.

Michael was defeated and his body was lost. Now that this has happened, I should have thought that Masayuki was no longer a priority.

（Emperor Masayuki, huh? I hate to be in a losing situation, but victory or defeat is just a matter of time. It's not worth losing sight of the bigger picture.)

Feldway decided so.

Zalario and his team would have no chance against Masayuki, who had the power of True HeroRudra in his hands. Moreover, with Velgrynd in their ranks, they would only be beaten back with a half-hearted effort.

At least, Feldway himself or Velzard would have to go there, or ask Zelanus. Even if they won the war, there seemed to be little to be gained.

Therefore, the objective of the game would be narrowed down.

If Masayuki was left alone, there was no point in defeating HeroChronoa.

Even if we eventually get rid of Masayuki, there is no need to target him. They could just wait for him to come toward them and avoid dispersing their valuable forces.

(After all, all hope is lost, isn't it?)

Shaking off these fears, Feldway's thoughts came together.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Jahil asked impatiently at the right moment.

"We only target the Veldora factor. However, we need to move in such a way that they don't know our true mission.
