Chapter 192 Give me time to explain

While Deva committed filicide towards her nameless 'daughter', outside of the bubble, Intris was undergoing several changes as if the birth of the nameless child was the trigger of it.

More gates materialized around the world and consequently the situation around Intris became more chaotic and more difficult to attain victory against the monsters that are poured out from these gates.

No sound could be heard or shadow that could be seen before a gate could appear. They would appear from thin air and reduce to nothing anything that existed beneath them.

Inanimate objects or living beings would be cut if they happened to be in the place where a gate appeared. Most of the times, instead of being eliminated entirely the people that were unfortunate enough would see part of their bodies disappear and after that finding themselves in front of a massive gate.

Whether it be in the cities or not, thousands of monsters immediately poured out from these gates. The people that were fortunate enough to survive with a limb cut off would be eaten by monsters.

In seconds, hellish sights pervaded Intris. The gates that appeared inside a city or near a populated area caused the most of damages and deaths.

The four sections in the human side. In the land of the fairies. The lands of the dwarves and that of the demons. These four lands were being devastated as monsters rampaged inside the cities, only the elves and the angels were spared by such bloodbaths with the elves being protected by their world tree and the angels because Paradise, the sole city of the angels, was far from the gates that appeared in their lands but the appearance of these gates in their lands made contact with others rather difficult and as monsters will continue to pour out they'll be isolated.

Compared to the other five lands, the elves were safe but this was not something to rejoice of, the fall of the other lands might weaken the overall strength of Intris making it easier for the monsters to prevail.

Thaleasin might send out help in the future but even he couldn't react that fast. It might take at maximum a day to send out troops but acting rashly won't solve anything and instead it might cause more meaningless casualities in his side. The ones that had enough strength to send help are those in Deva's side but Core did not order to do so and instead called those that were living outside of the underground base or the dungeon to return as quick as possible. Only one or two died from the gates but that was because they were unlucky enough to find themselves in the positions where the gates would appear, as for the others, they immediately tore a scroll and teleported themselves to the underground base.

Thanks to the drones across all over Intris, Core was able to see and quickly understand the situation and immediately react.

But Core was more worried about Deva, as she couldn't find a solution about Deva's dissapearance or make sense about the bubble.

"Uhhgg...Aaaghh!"

"Edea? Edea?! Hey! What's wrong?!"

A myriad of images filled Edea's brain before a strong headache hit her.

"Uh...Haaa...I-I used my abilities but instead of showing me Intris they filled me with several images that didn't have sense." Edea attempted again but before she could continue she flinched as her headache worsened.

"Strange. Strange. This all strange. First Deva and then after that this...what's going on?" Ira walked around in circles while biting her own fingernails, that was to calm herself for the moment.

"Core reports that the situation is indeed strange but for the moment issues about Intris are for the moment not that relevant for us to intervene unless it is a threat that can immediately annihilate Intris. As for Deva's commands, she specifically ordered to leave these matters to the others and only observe. As, for Edea, Core recommends to not use her powers for the time being."

"Mmm...should we go where the bubble is?"

"Core says that for the time being is better to not do that and wait for a bit before approaching the-"

"Look! Look! The bubble is disappearing! I can see that slut of a Saintess! Deva and...a little Deva?"

"That's not important! She has returned!"

"...Core states that less a day passed but Core it is indeed relieved despite the gruesome sight of Deva."

*teeeaaar*

"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!" Era pointed at Velena who tore a scroll whilst in her hands a similar scroll.

"Be the first one, of course!" At that a grin made its way on Velena's face before teleporting to Deva.

Not long afterwards the five appeared in front of Deva.

Watching a corpse that resembled her younger days made Deva a bit strange but that was it, she wasn't that shocked in fact she was more worried about the warm blood in her skin.

"Eh?! Was I naked all the time?!"

Thinking about it, Deva had not even noticed that fact. However, there wasn't any embarassment only momentary shock before taking some clothes from her storage ring.

"Deva!"

"Eh-?Mmhmmp?"

As Deva was dressing herself a pair of arms embraced her and Deva found herself facing a familiar pair of soft jelly.

"We were so worried! When...when you suddenly disappeared and we couldn't understand what was happening...we...we-!"

"Mmkmm mmkmm calmmpf downmmf."

"Oh, sorry."

"Well, aren't I used to it?"

"Ah." Velena took a step back.

"What?" Deva was confused for a moment before four pairs of arms appeared and, like Velena, they embraced Deva. Deva found herself squished by three pairs of soft jelly while Edea could only awkwardly hug Deva's waist.

For them, what was more important was that Deva was safe. Intris' situation was secondary.

While it seemed excessive, Deva understood that they feared that she might be somewhere far where they cannot find her and might wait for a long time before she could return.

"Okay, okay. I'm here. I won't go away."

"By the way..."

"Yes?"

"What's that? Or who's corpse is that?"

"..."

"Deva...?"

"Uh..."

"Deva?"

"She is theoretically my daughter...but-"

At that, the atmosphere plummeted and the eyes of the five women darkened.
