"So, did you play enough to your heart's content? Did you find anything or just forget after playing?"
A disgruntled voice pierced the air.
The moment Alex returned, everyone banded upon him enquiring about the situation.
Alex took a moment to calm them down and started to brief them about the situation.
"That bastard had conquered 12 small worlds. His forces had been spread to other big worlds but there had been no success in his conquest of a bigger world. He had been beaten quite badly there."Alex spoke with a chuckle.
"What the hell are you laughing about? It's 12 worlds, not 12 countries. Can you even imagine the combined might of forces 12 World?"Kevin screamed in anger.
"Hey, don't shout at my son. He is not a coward like you."Hestia caressed Alex's hair.
A thick vein bulges over his head.
'Damn, this mother-son pair gonna make me mad.'Kevin muttered inwardly.
"This means we are in big trouble this time."Goddess Rebecca spoke dimly.
"If I make a rough guess taking the worst possible situation, then he outnumbers our forces by 15 and that is in terms of billions."Goddess Of Wisdom spoke with a frown.
Alex's expression was also not good. Though he looked at ease, his mood was quite sour.
"Why don't we accelerate the time of the world? I have already accelerated the Hell, you can accelerate the time of the mortal plane."Alex suggested.
"That won't do Alex. There would be many consequences. The population will explode exponentially under your rule since there is no war, and people would lead a stable and peaceful life but in doing so the stability of the world may be threatened. The resources of the world would be greatly compromised. Increasing time would not increase the resources and outflow of mana."
"Hmmm!"Alex pondered for a moment and said, "I guess we have no other option. Even if the number increases, it's going to decrease in the war. We need to increase our forces as much as possible. So we had to bear the risk."
After Alex laid out the proposal, the goddesses started to speak among themselves. A large amount of divinity and power of faith was required to do this. It wasn't a simple matter.
Alex used the power of faith the devil had stored without any thought as he didn't depend on the power of faith but for Goddess, it is like a lifeline.
"Since we have no other option let's do this."Goddess Rebecca spoke calmly.
"I think you should start handing out the blessings more often now. In doing so, you could also alleviate the power of humanity and others."Hestia suggested.
"It would be good if apostles would be chosen. The apostle would carry special powers similar to the daughters. The apostles can preach their gains and choose the next apostle."Kevin spoke, glancing around.
Alex's expression turned solemn upon hearing this. It was a good proposal but Alex knew the future trouble that might come.
If the chosen apostle went into disarray or became haughty and used the powers for their benefit and the expansion of the Church, things will become bad, really bad.
However, apostles can play a crucial power. Endued with Goddess's blessings and with their potential they can climb higher quickly when compared to others and can also increase the forces drastically.
"Let's accept this proposal for now. If they dared to run rampant, I would tear them down with my own hands.''
"What are you thinking about so intently?"Hestia asked worriedly.
"Nothing much. Make sure to choose worthy apostles otherwise, I will cut them into pieces."
"There is another thing on my mind. This is a troublesome matter so I don't know whether I should proceed with this or not."
"What's the matter?"Everyone asked.
"I am thinking about whether I should poke my fingers at God Of Darkness or not."
"What?"
'Huhh!"
"Ennn!"
Taken startled, loud shrieks and gasps echoed from everyone. They looked at Alex with confused expressions as if they heard something wrong.
"Hey, don't play too much. You are too smug now, aren't you? You want to attack him on the home turf. Isn't this suicide? You are touching a hornet nest."Kevin squeaked.
"I know. But I think I can swallow two or three of his worlds if I attack now. Shouldn't he be busy absorbing the devil?"Alex asked curiously.
His second body was also in seclusion absorbing the essence. In truth, the condition of the second body was quite bad.
After casting negation on such a scale, when he checked his vessel after returning, he saw that his vessel had withered and run out of mana. If it's not tended, it's gonna be a cripple that would be a devastating blow.
The second that is created of the essence of the first body loses its efficiency as the process is repeated. If Alex creates another body, it would be quite worse and could carry only 10% power of his real body.
That's why he wants to delay the God of Darkness's descent until his second body could recover, which takes a year. After all, he doesn't know if the God of Darkness decides to start a war within a month.
"Don't worry, it will take one and a half years or two to absorb the Devil's body. He wouldn't run rampant during this period and should be under maximum security. And attacking him now might force him to attack earlier."Goddess Rebecca concluded.
"He shouldn't have absorbed the Devil by now, so can't we just go and save him? Even if we can't save him, we could at least foil his plans to fuse."
"Alex, do you think you can do this? First and foremost, the laws will restrict you as soon as you enter his territory. After which you will be assaulted by vast forces. Even a God King realm might be injured. A God King realm expert is invincible in his world, not the other world. You can control the world to kill everyone who trespasses here but so might the other side. Since he is already at half-step, you know the repercussions don't you?"Hestia explained.
"You are right. Let's stabilise our situation now and once we are prepared enough,I will start attacking his mini world under him."
"That means no matter what you gonna poke him," Kevin spoke with a chuckle.
"Yes!"Alex nodded his head.
"I am gonna dig holes in that bastard body until I am satisfied enough."Alex eyes glinted with viciousness.
