Chapter 1906: Dilemma
Nyx explained, "While it’s true that the Great Void is extremely dangerous, your plan to enter the Great Void is still possible."
"Why is that? Is the creature over there going to be easy?" Nathan asked.
"No. However, it will be different if we just move to the outskirts."
’What do you mean?"
"By using the space element, we can keep teleporting outside and inside to keep the infiltration safe."
Garuda explained, "During the last war, there was a reason they wanted to trap these aliens in the Great Void."
"Yeah, but knowing Yog-Sothoth, it should be easy to get out, right? I mean, you even confirmed that we can use the space element to get in and out, so there’s no way a master of space and time will find it difficult." Nathan frowned.
"Not exactly." Ananta shook his head. "In the last war, I could see the possibility of them getting defeated. In other words, the plan itself should work. There should be no explanation on how they could escape other than the aliens themselves."
Nathan suddenly paused as if he were coming to a realization. "Do you mean Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth were intending to use their consciousness to restrain the black cell’s movement? This way, their bodies would remain in the Great Void until they were completely devoured by the creatures in the Great Void?"
"I couldn’t peek that much, but that might be the explanation. At the very least, with the strongest among them taken out, the resistance should be able to fight back. After learning about Loki’s existence, this is the conclusion I have arrived at with the knowledge of possibilities." Ananta nodded, confirming the theory.
"I see." Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought. After a while, he started muttering, "So, basically, you won’t get killed right away.
"Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth intended to die there by letting those creatures devour them. However, the black cell managed to overcome it and used Yog-Sothoth to escape..."
"Most likely." Nyx snapped her fingers. "Because of that, Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, and the black cell are weakened severely. So, even if the plan fails... No, maybe they expected it to fail.
"Regardless, if it succeeds, the universe will be safe. If it doesn’t, it will give us time."
Nathan remembered something. "Now that I think about it, Loki proposed that idea with the thought of failure. Besides, I don’t remember who said it, but someone definitely said that if only we knew more about the aliens, we would have succeeded..."
"Ah!" Garuda finally understood the whole picture. "So, that’s how it is. I guess this is the contingency plan."
"In that case, our priority should be either to go straight to the Great Void or to get stronger first by finding the other two ancient battlefields before we go to the Great Void." Ananta nodded.
"The problem with that is... where are the other two ancient battlefields?"
"I don’t know. I’m merely bringing Lord Vishnu to the battlefield. I don’t exactly know where it is located. To be honest, all these stars and planets look the same to me. Unlike the terrains on each individual planet, I can’t recognize them."
"Lord Vishnu was the one who usually handled the thinking. I was just peeking into countless possibilities for him and let him handle the rest." Ananta shook his head helplessly.
Nyx pointed at herself in confusion. "Do you think someone like me would know about it?"
"..." Nathan could only let out a long sigh. There was indeed no shortcut. "The problem is that we don’t know where the other two ancient battlefields are. So, it’s hard to know where they are. However, do you remember anything else like the alien planet or the spot where they expanded the Great Void?"
They looked at each other before shaking their heads.
"In the end, we encounter another dead end." Nathan looked up, contemplating. "What do you guys think? Any idea?"
Sera and the others remained silent. Selena and Evelyn, on the other hand, were used to handling all the thinking, so they immediately got their own answer.
"I believe we should go to the Great Void right away. We will regroup at the entrance and set up a few teleportation circles. Maybe I will handle the circles, while you handle the activation. It will give us a faster reaction time," answered Evelyn.
"I don’t think that’s a great idea. The black cell might misunderstand our actions, since it should have the memory of the Great War. If we entered the Great Void, the black cell might use everything it had to kill us, no matter the cost. We should get stronger in the other battlefields first, not just the ancient battlefields, but also the active ones. If possible, I would like us to become true gods first before even going to this place."
Evelyn argued, "We can actually find things that might be helpful in making us even stronger. Besides, we will be able to confirm these creatures early. It might change our plan going forward."
"The Great Void, Creatures of Darkness, Dark Dimension..." Nathan closed his eyes for a moment. One mistake might cost them the entire campaign.
Ananta shook his head. "The possibilities are too diverse right now. There’s no telling which one is the correct answer, Master. From what I can see, going to the Great Void will provoke an action from the black cell. At the same time, we might be too late if we go around getting stronger first."
Nathan took a deep breath. "So, we need to find another method or the path between both of them."
"Such as?" Selena tilted her head.
"Going to the alien world first and seeking Nyarlathotep. He should have a method or a plan to defeat the black cell. Or we will have to find a way to delay the black cell or hasten our progress. Hastening our progress doesn’t seem to be doable, so the best shot is finding a method to delay the black cell." Nathan turned to Machina. "Either way, we need your help."
