Thirteen blinked innocently as Laplace Demon and The One looked at him with serious expressions on their faces.
The One usually appeared only as a sun that burned in the heavens, but at that moment, he took on a human formâa Monk with a bald head.
"I know you only did what you think is right," The One said. "And I don't really blame you for what happened. Nevertheless, things escalated to a degree that even we didn't predict. According to my own calculations, King Xanmara would summon a Peak Rank 9 Sovereign, which can be considered as a Pseudo-Majin Prince.
"In the worst-case scenario, he would be able to summon a Majin Prince that had recently made a breakthrough. But, he would summon this monster from the world of Solterra.
"The Majin King who goes by the name Orochi, who is currently hunting you in Absolute Heaven, came from the Jinn Homeworld, Gomorra. This is a serious matter. Not only is it a very savage and powerful being, but the aftermath of its rampage can escape the borders of Absolute Heaven.
"As you may already know, other Wanderers are doing missions on the neighboring lands adjacent to the Absolute Heaven. If Orochi makes their way to their location, things could spiral out of control.
"So what we need to do is either contain him or eliminate him while he is still inside Absolute Heaven. But it's impossible for me and Laplace Demon to interfere directly. You already know this, right?"
Thirteen nodded. "I know. I'm supposed to be the Anti-Virus Software that fixes bugs in Solterra."
"That's right," The One admitted. "You are the only one who can break down the wall that separates Fractured Heaven from the rest of the world using your Disintegrator ability. That's also the reason why I sent you to Fractured Heaven."
Thirteen nodded because he already suspected that his action was within The One's calculations.
"But just like you, we didn't predict that something like this will happen," Laplace Demon said. "Which is why we decided to have an emergency meeting with you in order to find a solution to our current problem."
The One nodded. "As long as it doesn't go against the restrictions placed upon us, we will do everything to help you overcome this trial. Remember, the goal is to either contain Orochi in Absolute Heaven or eliminate it completely. There is no third option."
"Wait, if that Demonic Salamander leaves Absolute Heaven, won't it pose the same problem as Orochi leaving the Absolute Heaven?" Thirteen frowned.
"No," The One shook his head. "This Demonic Salamander dislikes conflicts and only wants to sleep. It had been sleeping for hundreds of years, only waking up for a few days every decade to eat the Spiritual Veins of Absolute Heaven.
"After going into hibernation, the destroyed Spiritual Veins would regenerate after a decade, and the cycle repeats all over again. It seems that it plans to break through into a Fiend in the future, though it will take at least two thousand years before that happens."
"Even if it ranks up, it will pose no problem to the current balance of power in Solterra," Laplace Demon commented. "But a Majin King like Orochi is a different matter. Its threat level is second only to the Fiends and Celestials.
"We must stop it before it devours stronger creatures, which would help it evolve into another Fiend in less than a decade."
Thirteen sighed before nodding in understanding. "I will need to return to Pangea for a bit. Can you allow me to do that?"
"I will allow it," The One stated. "Where do you want to go?"
"The Rigel Continent," Thirteen replied. "I want you to take me to where the Earth Dragons are."
The Laplace Demon and The One glanced at each other before shifting their attention back to the boy in disbelief.
"You plan to ask for their help?" The One asked. "Are you sure that they will agree to help you?"
"I'm not sure," Thirteen replied. "But I have nothing to lose if I do it, right?"
The One pondered for a moment before waving his hand.
A dimensional gate appeared in front of Thirteen, which led directly to the three Earth Dragons who were currently busy watching a popular series in Netfix, which had become one of their hobbies.
