Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Chapter 227 - Gathering Resources Part 3

"How sure are you of this information?" The Canadian Deputy General, Scott Harris, asked with a frown on his face.

"Pretty sure," a young crimson-purple haired girl answered in a casual tone, yet her eyes were looking up at the sky with a worn out expression. "They should commence their attack soon."

*Sigh*

"Unbelievable," Scott sighed while massaging his temple. "Utter nonsense…"

Although they were already expecting an invasion from an alien faction in a few months, there was no way for them to realise that there was an angel invasion that was bound to happen soon.

"You said they're planning on destroying the planet because what? We failed a f*cking test?" He asked with a clenched fist.

"Uhm," Raven calmly nodded, her gaze towards the sky unchanging.

"What about their power levels?" Scott asked. "No, let me rephrase that… do we have a chance of winning?"

Looking at the young girl who shifted her gaze towards him for the first time, he held his breath in cold anticipation and worry.

This girl was without a doubt one of the strongest people on this planet, seeing her cold, yet worried, expression made his fists shake. 'What is up with her expression? Are we just about to get annihilated? This can't be, right?'

"Scott," the girl said calmly. "I live on this planet. My family lives here. I will not allow anyone to harm my family."

Scott gasped at her short statement.

"However," she continued as she made eye contact with him. "Many people will die-"

"Just what-" Scott couldn't hold his mouth.

"Many people will die," she repeated. "The EDA rankers should focus on defense. My team and I will focus on offense. That is the best course of action. 

"You protect the people. I will kill the invaders." She finished as she looked up at the sky again.

"You and your team? What?" Scott was confused. "Do you mean you and that girl? Kayla? Also, are you implying that the EDA's current level is too weak to cause any damage to the opponents?"

"Yes," the girl answered without an ounce of hesitation, causing Scott to flinch. His eyebrows were quivering. "Stuff people in the underground bunkers you've been creating-"

Scott gasped again. 'That was supposed to be top secret information… Not many people know about this-'

Of course, nothing was a secret from a Cyber Valkyrie. Kayla was working hard during the past three weeks as well. She was making some pretty big preparations.

"Make sure the public is safe," the girl continued as her golden eyes glowed mystically under the bright sun. 

Her crimson-purple hair swayed majestically and softly as the wind playfully nudged it, like falling snow, left and right. "My team will have to fight without holding back, so anyone who's not in the bunkers is bound to die."

"Just what are you-" Scott tried to question her but he stopped after noticing her raise her hand. She muttered one word.

"Alka!" Her voice was calm yet stern.

As if the sun rays had suddenly dimmed, the ground turned black-red as a magical circle was instantly formed in front of the young girl. A person was kneeling at its center.

"My mistress," a feminine voice called as the figure became clearer.

The crimson-purple haired girl turned her head and observed Scott who had a confused expression in his face. 

'What the- what is this?' She could see his hands shaking.

The feminine figure looked almost tiny in comparison to the size of the magical circle that was starting to disappear.

Scott couldn't see her eyes as she was kneeling with her eyes closed. Her bright neon green hair was almost blinding under the sun.

Although her body looked weak and almost fragile, Scott could barely keep his breathing rhythm normal in her presence.

'There is no aura around her… why is it so suffocating? Who is she? Did she just call Raven mistress?' Many questions clashed in Scott's mind that he was almost overwhelmed.

"Scott," the crimson-purple haired girl called out to the Deputy General who flinched at the mention of his name. "This is one of my subordinates; Alka-"

"Subordinates, what?"

*Sigh*

"Focus," Raven sighed in annoyance. "She is one of my subordinates. The reason you're feeling this suffocating presence is because of the pressure your eyes are feeling."

Although Scott had his eyes closed as always, his Cosmic Inclination was warning him that this person was dangerous.

"The Cosmic Inclination that is trapped within your eyes can feel her dangerous aura even though she isn't openly releasing any of it to the atmosphere…" The girl said with her casual tone. "Scott, I am by far stronger than Alka-"

"What?" Scott couldn't help but ask with a gasp. 'How? How is she stronger than her when I am able to feel the newcomer's dangerous presence but not Raven's? 

'No, Raven feels as if she has a peaceful aura around her. How can she stronger? Wait… no way… are you saying that she-'

"Uhm," Raven nodded, as if she had access to Scott's thoughts. "I am strong enough to deceive your special eyes. Scott, you're not strong enough…"

'What? I am one of the strongest people on this planet! How? How am I not strong enough?' His eyes were shaking. He understood her point. 'If I am not strong enough, just- *gulp* just how powerful are the invaders?'

"Alka is a being that is called Devil Lord." The cute and casual voice sounded like a beautiful melody, yet the meaning of her words was like a giant boulder that was suddenly crashing against Scott's back, breaking it without much resistance.

"A Devil Lord?" He asked in disbelief. He didn't know much about the Demon Plane, but he knew that there is not supposed to be any Lords alive at this time… 'All of them died, isn't that supposed to be the case? They had a great war and they all died!' He tried to convince himself.

"Uhm, Alka is one of the many strong beings I have under my command," Raven continued while ignoring Scott whose eyes were shaking in fear. "However, even her strength will not be enough for this coming battle-"

Alka, the Devil Lord, who hears all of that could not help but slightly shake her head at how weak she was. 'I should die if I am not helpful to my mistress… but I don't want to die. This means that there's only one path in front of me… I have to get stronger!'

Scott felt his world shake as everything felt more like a dream than reality- no, not a dream, but a nightmare. 'Many Devil Lords are not enough for this coming battle? What the hell are we fighting against, again? Aren't demons and devils the most powerful enemies again angels? Why is she calling them weak?!'

"That's why, Scott," the girl continued as she grabbed his attention.. "That's why we need your Cosmic Inclination."
