WORLD CHANGING MOVE!

Rukito left Kuragari with Athena to wait for his return. Right now, she is with Athena back at the castle, still in the form of a cat. Athena has never done anything to be suspected of betrayal, so she is remaining there to see what her father will do. As a cat, Kuragari can wander around without suspicion, but as of right now, nothing interesting has happened. Back on Athena's side, she seems to be having an argument about morals with the king. 

"If you had not been unjust to the elven race, maybe you wouldn't have lost all your research, as well as made an enemy of someone as strong as Rukito."

                                  "You dare question your father! Why do you care what happens to non-humans? They are not like us. They use our land and dare to rebel when we want to take what's ours. This land was given to us by God !"

" That's racist of you. It's like to you they're animals. Why should I live in a country if the country is this evil? Not only do you take from the elves, you even invade other countries . Just because they're weak doesn't mean you should take advantage and call it expanding our borders."

      " Everything I do is for this country. My father and grandfather did the same. If it were not for them , we would not be here. As for the elves, they took something important, and I want it back."

"What could they have possibly taken away that you and all the other kings continuously make their lives a living hell?"   

Kuragari strolls by and notices Athena exiting the room. Her face bears an expression of shock. Whatever her dad mentioned must be significant. The following morning, Kuragari awakens to a great deal of commotion outside; it appears that many people are assembling there. Kuragari is astonished by the vast number of soldiers present.

It's been 5 days; it's not surprising that all the soldiers returned. But so numerous?! There are no fewer than 50,000 troops present outside. Despite Rukito's strength, it's surprising to send so many for him alone. Nevertheless, there's still no news from Rukito. How much time will he need? Perhaps I ought to even the odds. Their spirits aid in my growth. Having possessed Rukito's essence of life allowed me to reach his level, making me 50 times more powerful than Silvaren. Hmm!? Are even more still arriving?

The army is now stationed outside the gates of the borders as well as in the city. To them, Rukito is a one- man army as there's no one fighting alongside him , so he can strike from anywhere. A lot of the soldiers are weary and fear death due to Rukito's destructive attack, killing 200 people. Kuragari, as a demon, can feed off the negative emotions. She also cast a spell that amplifies one's fear. By doing this for a long time, they will lose the will to fight and will end up like children, helpless and easy to kill. 

Just then, Kuragari hears something in her head; it's the voice of Rukito saying, "Run as far away as you can. Get to higher ground; no escaping the planet if you have to. Oh yeah, take Athena with you." She quickly went to find Athena. Before saying anything, she just grabbed her and flew straight up. Athena was confused and alarmed and tried to break free, leaving Kuragari to knock her out. 

While flying up, Kuragari realized that unlike her, Athena can't survive in the vacuum of space, so she stopped at the stratosphere. Just then, even though she was in the air, she could feel vibrations that were getting more and more powerful. It was like the planet itself shook . The fabric of space below began to tear apart. People were buried under the rubble, and the army was running around like ants. The earth cracked all over, tearing the country apart. Just then, Kuragari was able to see Umrael Kingdom and was surprised to see Rukito. It seemed he was doing something to cause this.

Rukito is using his power to merge the realm with the planet, making them one. He is intentionally pulling his country on top of the Heber Empire. He thought rather than using the gate to exit all the troops, why not take everything at once while killing the enemy ? It's killing two birds with one stone. It may be a painful process for the country that's going to get destroyed in the process. By having the small realm he's in on top, the citizens of his country won't feel much compared to the ones on the planet.

 Kuragari goes to Rukito as it's safer there. She leaves Athena somewhere safe and goes to Rukito. Just then, she sees someone dashing towards Rukito at full speed. She defends Rukito by blocking the guy. He was trying to kill Rukito. Rukito tells Kuragari, " I need you to defend me for about a day or so until I'm done. You will have to fight Lloyd. He's a powerful opponent, but you should be able to hold him. Also, he uses wind as a defense, but it's way stronger than any wind user. Anyway, I need to focus."

Kuragari nods and then evades a surprise strike from Lloyd. It appears they realized Rukito is involved, so they dispatched him to handle the situation. Kuragari observes additional soldiers, but these ones possess significantly greater strength than the rest; they form a unit of elite fighters. Kuragari creates a protective shield around Rukito. Accomplishing this, she was taken by surprise by Lloyd and was launched away. She found herself in a difficult situation but bounced back swiftly. The elven warriors noticed Rukito in peril and rushed to protect him by engaging the opposing forces.
As devastation to the territory occurs and lives are lost, a large-scale war between the two nations commences!
