Billy looked upward toward the directions the floating islands came from, and he saw at least twenty planets that weren't supposed to be in that solar system… Uvish truly had done it this time. Even if he didn't win this battle, he was certain that he would decimate the population down to a few thousand… that was one heck of a small goal... they were thinking in different scales thanks to their life experiences.
Although Billy could try to see the future that will happen while he focuses on finishing the next technique, he didn't rely on that. He didn't want to believe that the future of his family and friends was set in stone without his help.
Fortunately, Billy could see that his mother and siblings were wiping out the army of gorillas. However, his father was a hard time dodging the strikes of the enemy's champion. The ax was like four meters tall, and he could swing that fucking weapon with a single hand and extremely fast.
"If you are worried about them, I will make sure to keep them alive," The life spirit said. "I can tell who your friends and family are thanks to your presence."
"... Thanks, that will be a big help," Billy said after a long sigh. "Still, don't exaggerate. They are the best warriors that I know, and they can look after themselves."
"You sure like to make demands, even though I am already doing more than I was supposed to," the life spirit said.
"I will repay the favor someday," Billy said.
"Then let me give the name of one of your children," the life spirit said. "What do you think of Aurora? It is a pretty name, right?"
Billy wasn't so sure if it was an excellent idea to let someone that he had just met the day before naming his child, but the name was indeed pretty. Still, he had to consider other things as well. While she was hard to deal with, she wasn't evil.
"What if all of the three are boys?" Billy asked.
"Don't worry, one of them is a girl," The life spirit said.
"You had to spoil that…" Billy said and then facepalmed.
In any case, Billy wondered if that was the name that Uvish gave her. Asking such a thing wouldn't help anyone, so he decided to keep quiet. In any case, while it took a while, Billy eventually noticed that the presence of the elf that Icarus was fighting disappeared. When he looked upward, he saw a tired Icarus returning.
"What an annoying asshole…" Icarus said.
"Hey, watch your language on my property," Billy said. "I don't want my kids learning that kind of foul language."
"I am pretty sure you said it worse already," Icarus said.
"That is beyond the point," Billy said.
"Ah, I am feeling a lot better after returning to the barrier. Give my thanks to the spirit of life," Icarus said. "I am going to help the others."
Billy wanted to help as well, even though that wasn't necessary since the tide of the battle was on their side. Still, he had to prepare for Uvish's final attack… he must have some sort of card that he would only reveal at the very end… Billy also had to finish his final card…
Unfortunately, it didn't look like Billy would have time for that. The floating islands began to fall around like rain, and Billy could see hundreds more coming. If each of those had one thousand of enemies, then, eventually, the whole area would become a sea of corpses, and the barrier won't have the chance to grow much more.
The real severity of the situation would only be revealed when Billy felt the presence of hundreds of champions that were on the same level as the elf, and around ten of them who was a lot stronger… the rulers of those worlds finally decided to show up.
"Even now, your friends didn't appear, did they?" Billy asked. "What are the chances of them having been captured already?"
"They haven't awakened yet, I am certain of that," the death spirit said. "Their presence was something we would be able to feel even on the other side of the world."
"Then why are they still sleeping?" Billy asked. "Haven't they given up already?"
"That is… a hard question," The death spirit said. "As we said, they are hard to understand. Even when they saw Uvish causing all those problems, they never seemed too hurried… the time spirit was something since he apparently could travel through space and time and could tell what might happen in the future. Still, he never shares that with others, so I can't understand why order and chaos are like that as well."
Unlike those two who had their authorities deeply connected to human beings, it seemed that the other three were a lot more different. Still, Billy didn't have time or the room to think about that. He had to keep fighting, even without their help…
"I can no longer just keep watching… eventually, those three will be forced to join the fight if I don't do something," Billy said.
"The enemies might have some traps ready for you," The death spirit said.
"I will kill them all before they have the chance to use the traps," Billy said.
Billy began to fly toward where he could sense three rulers close to one another. Taking them one at a time wasn't a luxury that he could afford, so he went all out from the very beginning.
The very moment he crossed the barrier, Billy used Acceleration Manipulation to the max and then attacked a weird cloaked guy that had a magic staff. In that short window of time, he used Rage, Body Enhancement, and then Destructive Aura. Still, at the same time, the enemy summoned a Mana Shield that got in Billy's way. He cursed while he watched the enemy flying to the distance at super sonic speeds… he should have made his body ethereal for a moment instead.
