Chapter 2677 First Wave
The three hours Gragatou gave everyone passed quickly. When the moment arrived, Gragatou and the other Semi-Celestials gathered all the experts. A few more of them arrived, having been called by their companions during this time, so the total number of experts increased to almost five hundred.
Rean and Roan saw many faces that were not present back in the outside gathering. It was obvious that these extra experts had been hidden inside others' Pocket Dimensional Realms. Well, Kentucky and Celis were also not present before, so everyone else understood Rean and Roan had hidden them in their own Pocket Dimensional Realm, too.
"We have been keeping a watch over the Wonder Beasts surrounding the Tower. At first, the 'wandering' doesn't seem to have much of a pattern. However, it does have one," Gragatou began to explain after discussing these things with the other Semi-Celestials. "They mostly follow the flow of Chaos Laws and Energy that comes from the tower."
Kafan took it from there. "The tower is what pours Chaos Laws and Energy into this world, but it doesn't do it uniformly. Those who have achieved a higher level of Chaos Cultivation probably already noticed the constant change of Chaos Laws and Energy concentration after getting this close. The Wonder Beasts always follow these different waves until they start to grow thin due to the distance to the tower. Once it happens, they turn around and move somewhere else near the tower, looking for a bigger concentration of Chaos Laws and Energy."
"That's why it feels like the Wonder Beasts are moving without much thought," Black Locust complemented, also having noticed those patterns. "This is good for us, though. We managed to pick up the patterns of release of Chaos Laws and Energy from the tower, and we can tell when and where the groups of Wonder Beasts will move next."
Some expressed a few more concerns, but it wasn't anything that important. In the end, the bulk of the plan would continue the same, attack and retreat. There wasn't much to be explained there.
The experts were then separated into several groups based on their strengths and races. It was pretty obvious that the weakest ones were sent to the front to be used as cannon fodder. Nonetheless, they were given the chance to leave a long time ago. Only those who didn't fear dying here remained, so no one could complain as everyone knew what they would be asked for.
Kafan turned out to be the one to identify the bigger waves of Chaos Laws and Energy. The top experts knew that he had been here in this world before, so his knowledge was the most complete. The twins' group was only in the Space-Time Realm Initial Stage, so they were designated to be at the front... Well, the truth was that the twins were as strong as the Semi-Celesitals. They were sent to the front exactly because everyone wanted to see it themselves. Was the twins' group any kind of threat? Kafan obviously tried to help, but Roan stopped him, saying there was no need to worry about them. With that, Kafan gave up and let them go ahead. Rean was especially committed as he truly wanted to prevent as many deaths as possible. This here was a huge portion of the entire power of the Universe. They needed it.
Kafan floated high in the skies, looking at the tower's direction. He then changed his form back to Death Spirit, becoming a gathering of Death Energy. His perception spread far and wide, easily reaching the tower in the distance. Finally, he used his Divine Sense to communicate with all the experts from the various races below.
'There are tens of thousands of them, the results of countless years of Chaos Laws and Energy spreading from the tower. However, just follow my instructions, and a situation where you fight more than a hundred should hardly happen.'
Kafan then felt a small wave of Chaos Laws and Energy coming from the tower, going to the right. 'Everyone, consider the tower as your north pole. Move 29 kilometers to the northeast. A wave with around 60 Wonder Beasts is going in that direction. You have two minutes to take them all down and retreat before a bigger wave arrives.'
