Chapter 322: Reverse Ascender Plan

Hah....

Still not used to it.

Jierte, who hadn't gone all out in a long time, was dissatisfied with this attack; he still had reserve strength, so this should have been more powerful.

Over there... there's still a barren mountain.

Blue Sapphire, stand back.

Ah? Ow!

Blue Sapphire crawled away a bit using her hands and feet, then obediently sat on another stone to watch Knight Sir's performance.

Then let's use a sword this time.

Endless Holy Light condensed, adhered, and then burst forth!

Instantly, a ravine even more terrifying than before appeared, this time even reaching the attack he had just released, merging the two traces into one.

That's more like it.

He nodded in satisfaction, while Blue Sapphire's mouth beside him couldn't close.

She never expected that the Knight Sir she had been with all along had unknowingly grown to this extent.

And she herself was still a mascot; thinking of this, the catgirl didn't feel down but instead grew confident.

Knight Sir is already so awesome; as his mascot, she needs to be even more auspicious!!!

"Meow, I'll follow Knight Sir for this lifetime!"

She thought to herself, her pretty cat mouth slightly curling up, as if thinking of some mischievous things.

"Knight...."

"Blue Sapphire, I suddenly have an idea."

Blue Sapphire was about to call Jierte, but his words cut her off; the catgirl looked at him with some confusion.

"Knight Sir, any clever tricks?"

Jierte fell silent for a moment, then slowly voiced his somewhat bold idea.

"You say, with my current strength, can I just go and kill all the calamities outright?"

"That way, the so-called final calamity wouldn't descend."

Blue Sapphire blinked, scratched her soft cat ears, somewhat shocked by Jierte's bold, forward-thinking idea.

"Hmm.... Knight Sir, although this method is indeed... very bold, also very dangerous."

"But Blue Sapphire will always listen to Knight Sir!"

"I think it won't work."

Suddenly, Boss's voice burst from Jierte's communicator, and both of them startled.

"Boss?"

Jierte voiced his doubt, while the other let out a helpless cough.

As soon as he arrived, he heard Jierte's heaven-defying remark, frightened him into hastily stopping it; if this guy were allowed to do that, the calamities might just evolve on the spot.

"Quickly drop that dangerous idea; if you can't wipe out all the calamities in one go, they'll keep mutating."

"Can you guarantee killing all the calamities cleanly in one strike?"

Listening to Boss's skepticism, Jierte fell into thought.

Indeed, the calamities are too changeable, and they're even merging with each other; does that mean he can only wait for the final calamity to arrive?

"Then I can only wait?"

"If you had the power of an exploding star, you could try."

Boss directly gave the final answer.

"By then, you can just Holy Light wash the ground; forget the calamities, you wouldn't even need to spare any people."

Jierte:......

"Fine."

"How long can you stay in touch this time you've come?"

"Quite a while; if you're not in a hurry, I'll first tell you the later plan, after all you still need to talk to your dear aunt."

"Then go ahead and say it."

"Good."

After a passionate exposition, Jierte also roughly understood Boss's meaning.

He told Jierte another part of the plan's content; the entire plan is called the 'Reverse Ascender Plan'.

Corresponding to what those gods are currently doing, their plan is called the Ascender Plan, while Boss's plan is obvious: to stop all of this from happening.

Perhaps it's not exactly that, but in any case, it's definitely about opposing them.

"I only have one question: what exactly are they trying to cultivate by doing this?"

"Is it a civilization reborn from fire, or a calamity capable of destroying everything?"

"I can't see it clearly, nor can I figure it out."

Boss fell silent for a moment; he hadn't expected Jierte to also consider this question, but regarding it he couldn't give a definite answer.

"I can only say, both might be true."

"But I personally lean more toward an extremely terrifying calamity."

"You've seen it too; the whole world is now a pressure cooker constantly being pressurized."

"Those gods' blessings are merely a method of stimulating with high-density pure spiritual energy; for humans, it's just an acceleration of death."

"But it's undeniable that he did indeed secure a sliver of vitality for humanity."

In this world, human life is the least valuable.

"As you can see, the Blood Disaster and Beast Disaster have already merged; according to my estimate, the next fusion is very likely to be Demon and Insect Disaster."

"Demon?"

This natural disaster isn't very noticeable; compared to the others, it's rather mediocre, but they really almost killed little aunt.

"How so?"

"Demons can't be considered true natural disasters; even in the heavens there are places where they don't rampage, but it's undeniable they are also part of this land."

"The key point of the Reverse Ascension Plan lies with you; I originally had someone else in mind, but you are indeed more suitable than her."

"What do I need to do?"

"What you need to do is just wait; don't even think you can single-handedly kill off a natural disaster—you can't!"

Boss burst out complaining, Jierte scratched his head embarrassedly, but he still asked, somewhat unwillingly.

"Surely there's something I can do? I can't just stand by and watch."

"......"

Boss fell silent, and eventually he still pointed out a direction for Jierte.

"Just keep observing your precepts, oh right, remember not to let your little cat get hurt, and also remember to make that show‑off guy learn to let go."

"Also, tell her not to mess with the sea monster! Just focus on dealing with the blood beasts; the big cat I've let out will go find you to meet up, and your little aunt has recovered eighty percent—she'll be fully healed soon."

"And one more thing! Don't you dare mess with the natural disaster!"

Boss finished rattling on with a bunch of talk, and finally Jierte clearly heard the person on the other end of the communication equipment change, and a familiar gentle voice came through.

"Jierte."

"It's little aunt; hearing her voice again after so long, Jierte's mood visibly improved."

However, he really didn't have anything worth sharing; over the past two years, his life had indeed become rather dull.

"This journey.... have you ever felt lonely?"

Before Jierte could speak, Blue Sapphire, who had been pricking up her ears to eavesdrop for a while, finally couldn't help but chime in.

"Little aunt! I'm Kitty Blue Sapphire!"

"With me accompanying Knight Sir, he won't be lonely!"

"Then that's good."

Next up was the chatty time of this talkative little cat and little aunt, and Jierte instead became the one who occasionally chimed in from the side.

It must be said, with her joining, the conversation also became interesting.

"Jierte."

In the relaxed conversation, little aunt suddenly turned serious.

"What's wrong, little aunt?"

"No matter what happens."

"Remember to stay alive."

(Actually yesterday was a normal update, but I don't know why it got stuck in review—so frustrating.)
