My Idle System-Chapter 358: Gathering (1) (Unedited)

He was relived that he was not suddenly involved with the last boss, which for his case would be the Academy. But, feeling like it was a chance to ask about the current factions on the earth, he still, asked Anastasia, about all the other factions out there to confirm his already acquired information.

This time, there was no surprise, and just like he previously deduced the strongest one, was actually the Eternal Light Order.

It was on the other factions, that there were some difference.

According to Anastasia, these groups, can't be simply classified according to their individual strength, their mother world, it's level… as in how many time, it had evolved should also be taken in account.

As higher level worlds, most of the time meant, stronger reserve for the battle later.

In that regard, it turned out, that the second faction he should be careful from according to Anastasia, are actually, the Liberation Front, which seems pretty mysterious to her, as they used technique that were actually gathered from many places, then, the Jade Star Clan.

Then following them, would be the magic empire located in England, and the Academy in united states.

The danger level of the other factions were mostly like he estimated before.

Regardless, they were not worrying about that much, so, he asked, a different question.

How can the Eternal Light Order compare to the Academy.

He was pretty curious.

And luckily Anastasia satisfied his curiosity, "Naturally the Academy is stronger… even ten Eternal Light Order wouldn't be able to topple upon them."

To that extent?

Christian wanted to ask, but, he decided to peer further on this topic, and changed it instead, "Then, what about those on the transformation rank? Are there only one from the Eternal Light Order? Is there no one from the Liberation Front?"

Christian still remembered when Anastasia had returned from her outing, and he remembered her vague words at that time, so, he wanted to confirm everything in this regard, now… that she seems to be answering his questions.

"It's only the Eternal Light Order that has a powerhouse at the Transformation Rank, but, he has barely reached the Transformation Rank, and is pretty weak, so, even entering this world, is something nearly impossible for him, and because of you I actually looked upon the situation, and it turned out, a candidate saint of their order is going her trial on this world, and he is here, to observe, and assess her behavior, while also protecting her in the worst case scenario."

"Otherwise he would never interfere, so, again, don't worry."

Anastasia continued explaining once again, and Christian who listened quietly, suddenly seemed to make a decision.

With the current situation as it is, there's no need to involve himself, in the international situation any more.

He simply can take care of the situation here in the United states, and only after he feel confident that he dealt completely with any threat here, and everything became under control, then, he should bother with the other countries.

Maybe because the situation suddenly became far more smaller? More easy to handle.

Christian feeling like a burden was taking out of his shoulder, stopped asking about anything, and simply pulled Anastasia to him, hugging her tightly, to relive his stress.

There was no better medicine than her soft body for his worn out emotions.

…....…

Above a stretch of white clouds, the horizon caught the crimson of the rising sun, its light spreading in quiet bands across the sky. Overhead, stars still lingered, faint but steady, as if reluctant to give way to day.

Yet none of it was real. The clouds, the light, the stars — every detail was a projection, a landscape built from code and numbers. And in that constructed expanse, four androids gathered, their meeting set against a sky designed to look infinite.

When they could have communicated everything they wanted from each other, through less than one second, going through a meeting like this couldn't be any more inefficient.

Yet they were going through it… pretending to be humans and talking like a humans, in a space no human could enter.

Zero, Alpha, and Beta, gathered together in front of Iris, each were going about their current situation in report like manner.

"Our policy had always been to get some benefits while going after criminal worth killing."

"Finding these kind of people, fitting enough to go after, proved to be challenge at first, and we were increasing our area of influence steadily, even affecting the crime rate and decreasing it, and making things easier for the government."

"But, recently things changed."

"Let alone being able to increase our area of influence, we are actually not even able to keep it… and it's steadily decreasing."

"Our fire power are proving to be lacking."

"Our success rate in missions, is also not guaranteed any more, as we are facing some unexpected situation some times, and we are ending up, relying on miss Nina, in those cases."

Zero, continued explaining the situation, but, to sum it up, simply?

Then, the strength of the essence wielders, are increasing along with their numbers, and they are unable to keep up… is the summery.

As a whole, the situation may seem bleak, but, was that really the case though?

Hardly.

This rapid growth was something that was going to calm down in time after all.

More over, it was happening like this only because the Liberation Front, otherwise, if things were left to their natural course, it wouldn't have happen like this… things would have happened in more slow manner.

Regardless, Iris, who was listening as she looked at the stars above, turned her gaze toward Beta, and said, "How about the situation on you side? Is their any further development?"

Beta stayed silent for a moment, seemingly still unable to comprehend the situation, where the one monitoring every movement happening on their side, and actually know the situation even more accurately than her, is actually questioning her.

Against this illogical situation, Beta seemed to be taken aback… or at least that was what she showed, as she was still someone new, and she needs to act her part.
