Kevin’s expression was serious as he looked at the pocket universes he had created.
Neo’s existence was now split between countless pocket universes.
"How long until he can break free?" Kevin asked.
"A day at most, a few hours at the minimum," Severant answered.
He had been contracted with Kevin after Sword Saint Kane was slayed during the war.
And as Kevin was the new contractor, he needed to help him.
"A few hours... if we hurry, we should be able to throw him out of this universe," Kevin said as he slashed and destroyed the Independent Space Neo had created.
As soon the Independent space was destroyed, a very gravely injured Supreme leader of Alliance and a clone of Neo was revealed.
Kevin had already deployed another one of his techniques.
The Cosmic Laws converged, disintegrating the clone.
It was a technique that destroyed clones. This was the benefit of rewards from System. All of them, while not on the level of Authorities, were just one level below and worked with support of Cosmic Laws.
That made them quite a bit stronger than normal techniques.
"Hide," Kevin said a single word to the Supreme Leader of Alliance and flew off in the space at high speed.
Cosmic Laws wrapped around his figure as he boosted his speed to a degree impossible for a Stage 6 God.
But Kevin didn’t stop there.
"Zain, come," he spoke, calling one of his Technique Spirit.
A light shot of him, transforming into wings made of light behind his back.
His speed increased by several folds again.
"I don’t think this is going to work," Severant said.
"It will. There are an infinite number of universes. If we can throw him out of our universe, he will not know which universe to come back to.
"This is without regarding the time it would take him to gain strength of inter-universe travel," Kevin said.
He continued, "The only problem... is the Supreme of Darkness.
"She might try to crush this universe, but I can only hope that she will take Neo when he is outside the universe, and for uniting him with her, she would let go of our universe," he said.
"If you are worried about the Mad Supreme, then there is no need to. She is only moving on instincts now. Unless you truly kill Neo, or come close to it, she will never descend or try to destroy this universe."
"That’s not how—"
"That is how it works, boy," Severant said. "You don’t know how lucky your universe is. Every second countless universes are devoured by the Supreme Darkness.
"Many of them had formed alliances to stop the invasion of darkness and its children, but they still amount to nothing.
"Even Eternals are helpless against it. All they can do is slow it down.
"This universe is protected from her by the Technique Spirit Hades left behind. That’s why she has never aimed for this universe," Severant explained.
"Hades left behind a Technique Spirit? But ’I’ said that this universe can be crushed by the Supreme of Darkness if Neo is punted out of it," Kevin said.
He knew his plan was dangerous, but Throwing neo out of universe and throwing him to either Supreme of darkness or other universes was the best plan he currently had.
He had two more plans, but they were worse. Much worse.
After all, there were only a few ways to counter a Heavenbreaker.
"I don’t know who this ’I’ is but they clearly don’t know everything. For one, it is impossible to know everything," Severant said.
"Let’s not talk about ’I’ for now. What do you mean this plan is bad? If this universe is protected by the Technique Spirit left behind by Hades, then Throwing Neo out of here is the best plan," Kevin said.
"I doubt he will stay sealed until you can reach the boundary of Golden Domain, exit it, and then reach the boundary of the Shattered Horizons," Severant said. "Boy, heed my advice and call the Eternals to deal with Neo."
"They might try to erase the whole universe," Kevin said.
Even if they wouldn’t, Kevin didn’t want their help.
Calling for Eternals would be his third and last-ditch plan.
Yes, calling them would wound his pride.
But he would do anything to complete his Quest, and return Vivienne’s Authority to her.
"Yes, they can erase this universe. While the Technique Spirit of Hades is protecting this universe, it’s specifically made to stop the Supreme of Darkness. It will be of little help against the Eternals. However...."
Severant suddenly became silent.
"What is it?" Kevin asked.
"I can’t tell you the reason, but trust me, and call the Eternals," Severant said.
Kevin silently looked at Severant.
While he did want to believe Severant, he knew about his past together with Neo.
There was a chance that calling Eternals was sort of scheme from Severant to help Neo.
Although he had no idea of how and why Eternals’ being called could help Neo, he refused to take chances.
"I’ll think about it. We should first try—"
Kevin’s words died when the pocket universes started to crack.
"...What?"
Not even two minutes had passed. How was Neo already on the verge of breaking out of the pocket universes?
