And so, in this way, the exchange between Demon Lords and humans deepened gradually to the point that made me question ‘what the hell is this?’, and finally, we faced a big change.
There were few things we could do to approach the matter.
The most direct way to solve the problem would be to find Ates and capture her, but we don’t know where she is at all.
We could make her a world wanted person, but if we are going against a God incarnation, it definitely won’t be easy to find her location.
It was the same when the Demon Lords hid to avoid me after all.
What we can do would be to harden our defenses with our respective heroes, and make it so we are not hit in any opening.

“Hero-sama!! Assistant!!”
We were thinking about passing the day hanging out with the Demon Lords, but a Light Knight came flying to report to us.
“Emergency call!”
Emergency call?
In this era, we can exchange information with other nations in an instant thanks to the ethereal wireless technology.
Even if one of our places gets attacked, we can immediately fly to their aid, and we will be able to provide fast assistance with the use of the flying machines.
“Emergency call from Rudras Metropolis!”
“Rudras Metropolis… That’s pretty close.” (Haine)
The moving city of Rudras Metropolis is currently at standby in a place close by to Apollon City in case of any unexpected events.
Karen-san and I ran to the communication room and faced the mic.
“This is Kuromiya Haine speaking! Wind Church member, can you hear me?!” (Haine)
{Haine… Is that Haine?!}
This voice.
Isn’t it Shiva?!
For the Founder himself to make a call, moreover, from how he is speaking, I can tell he is in pain.
“What’s the matter?! What happened?! Explain the situation!” (Haine)
{That monster…! We weren’t even in its sight…..! It treated us as pebbles at the roadside…! A whole city…!}
The speaker was relaying the voice of Shiva that was faraway, and it was reproducing the pained voice of his.
“Oi! Oi! Is Rudras Metropolis okay?! What about the damage?!” (Haine)
{Don’t worry. There’s not much damage on our side….. It didn’t give us any attention, so the damage was kept at a minimum….. How laughable.} (Shiva)
His voice was filled with regret and self-derision.
{It was so sudden that we didn’t have the time to bring out the hero or the Kazama Shinobis. That guy only shot one divine power attack. However, that one attack blew away Rudras Metropolis and made it bounce three times.} (Shiva)
Bounce?!
The whole Rudras Metropolis?!
It may be the smallest out of the five Great Cities, but the city is basically a moving fortress, and yet, with one attack?!
{The reason we didn’t flip upside down was thanks to the balancer that Juo invented. But because of that, Rudras Metropolis’ moving engine has completely stopped. Many buildings inside have been destroyed. We can’t head out to provide assistance. We have our hands full in the rescuing inside the city.} (Shiva)
What?
“What are you talking about? We are the ones who should be going to help. We will send Aurora Knight corps with relief goods, so—!!” (Haine)
{DON’T!!} (Shiva)
“?!”
The agitated shout of Shiva made me gulp my breath.
To think Shiva would lose his wits to this extent.
{There’s no need to send help to us! You guys should strengthen the defenses of the city! That’s why we called you!!} (Shiva)
“?!”
{That thing’s objective is you guys! The place where you guys are, Apollon City!! Our Rudras Metropolis was only coincidentally in the way, so it pushed us to the side!!} (Shiva)
Just what in the world…!
{I will be the one sending reinforcements! When the situation has stabilized, I will immediately send Hyue as well! That’s why, resist until then, please!! Listen well, survive!!} (Shiva)
