Underworld.
Lilith's citadel.
After seeing the three hexagons of hunters, undead, and the level 2 civilization, making some distance from each other,
Lilith brought her citadel back to the hexagon connected to the speedy mainland.
She checked the karma connection with her partner for days, until it responded to her once.
That's how she knew he was back on the speedy mainland.
She was really curious why this little guardian showed her so many of his secrets.
She thought to herself,
'Is he trying to make me trust him fully?
If yes, why?'
While in her own thoughts, she felt the underworld gate open and close in this hexagon.
She took a glance to see who came down and could only smile bitterly when she didn't detect anyone.
'Speak of the devil.
It seems my partner is here for a visit.'
It didn't take long before she heard a knock on the door.
And sure enough, she couldn't feel any presence behind the door either.
She shook her head while chuckling, and asked,
"Who is it?"
And a familiar voice sounded from the other side,
"Hello, I am 'Postman Mat'.
Is the underworld manager home?
I am here to deliver an invitation."
The smile on Lilith's face froze.
The corner of her eyes started twitching.
She stood up, went to the door, and opened it.
The familiar little boy was standing behind the door, but in a different outfit.
A double-breasted jacket with silver buttons, matching navy-blue trousers.
A blue postman's cap with a black brim and a gold badge featuring a postal horn symbol.
A white shirt with a red tie underneath his jacket and black shoes.
He was carrying a brown leather satchel slung over his shoulder for delivering mail, too.
The Little Postman was now looking up at her with questioning eyes,
"Hello, young lady.
Is your mother, the underworld manager, home?"
Lilith clenched her teeth.
Then took a deep breath and said,
"Partner, what game are you playing?"
But the little postman raised his eyebrow in confusion,
"You got the wrong person, young lady.
I am Postman Mat, here to deliver an invitation."
Lilith, who saw him deep in his act, said,
"I am the underworld manager."
The little postman nodded,
"Oh, that's good then.
Sorry for mistaking you with your daughter."
Lilith nodded with a forced smile.
The little postman asked,
"Please show me an identification card."
Lilith almost slapped him into oblivion.
'You are asking the underworld manager for an identification card?
What nonsense is this?'
But she controlled herself and made one on the spot.
The little postman checked the picture on the identification card with the real person a couple of times, and finally nodded.
"Good.
Here is your invitation.
Please sign here."
Lilith, while signing the paper that said she received the invitation, asked,
"Do you know who sent it, Postman Mat?"
The little postman nodded,
"Let me see... It's from 'Mortal', the strongest boss of the 'secret organization'."
Lilith was speechless.
She opened the invitation and read it.
[ Hello, Underworld manager.
It's me, Mortal, your current and future partner.
This is your invitation to our live-action movie.
I will come pick you up personally in three days.
Best regards,
-Mortal. ]
Lilith almost burned the invitation when she read the nonsense on it!
She was going to ask the postman some questions about how she is supposed to leave her territory and watch this 'movie', but he was already gone!
She just felt the underworld gate open and close once again...
"Is there something wrong with his head? Or does he like to play around?
How is he going to take me to the world above?
That's impossible! I haven't been there for trillions of years now..."
....
Mainland.
The speechless White canary was registering name after name.
The mainland was catching bubbles one after another as if there was no tomorrow.
And with its speed, it wasn't that hard for it to gather bubbles in batches.
At this moment, the white canary suddenly heard someone shouting,
"Hello, mainland manager, are you home?"
It tried to find the one who was calling it, but didn't sense anyone.
While puzzled, it flapped its wings once, while muttering,
"That voice was familiar..."
And the next moment, it appeared above the place from which the sound came.
The white canary looked down and only saw the top of a small hat.
Wondering who the other party is,
It dived down, and when it saw the one under the hat, it almost turned around and flew away.
"What in the mainland's name is he doing here?"
When it saw the little 'disaster bringer', Mortal, shouting for its name, it thought it was better to run.
But then again, it remembered he was actually an important 'piece' in that unknown entity's plan.
So it landed on his shoulder and asked while showing itself to him,
"Little Mortal, when did you come back?"
The little boy gasped in shock,
"Who are you?
How did you suddenly appear on my shoulder?"
The white canary chuckled,
"Didn't you call for me?"
The little boy raised his eyebrow in surprise,
"Oh, mainland manager, it's you?
Hello, I am Mat, Postman Mat."
Then under the puzzled gaze of the canary,
He brought out an invitation from his leather bag.
"Please show me your identification card and receive your invitation after signing here."
The manager, who was asked to show an identification card, almost waved its wing to send him to oblivion.
However, it remembered that this kid was under protection, so it produced an ID card on the spot.
The Little postman nodded,
"Alright, sign here please."
And it signed the paper.
The Little postman put away the signed paper and brought out another one,
"Alright.
These are questions that the sender of your invitation needs to know the answer to."
The canary tilted its head in confusion and waited for the questions.
The Little postman asked,
"Do you want to have a role in the movie that you have been invited to?"
The white canary looked at the invitation that had just opened and read it, and then at the little boy,
"I can have a role in the movie I am invited to watch?"
But the little postman shrugged,
"How should I know?
I'm just a simple postman, doing my job.
Please answer the question."
The canary thought for a moment and said with doubt,
"Yes?"
The Little postman asked the next question,
"Do you want a short role or a long one?"
The canary answered after a brief moment,
"Short..."
It got more and more confused.
The Little postman wrote down the answer,
"Alright, and the last question.
Do you want to 'die', or 'survive' at the end of your role?"
The white canary was dumbfounded,
"Die?
I can die in my role?
For real?"
The Little postman rolled his eyes at it,
"This is a movie, you silly canary!
No one dies for real in a movie!"
Just the first sentence and the canary almost pecked his eyes out!
It just remembered how disrespectful this kid could be sometimes.
"I-I want to live!"
The Little postman nodded, wrote the last answer, and put away the paper.
"Okay, I am done here.
Goodbye."
And walked away.
But the white canary was still on his shoulder.
The Little postman stopped, looked at the canary on his shoulder, and said,
"Why didn't you fly away yet?"
The white canary smiled mysteriously,
"I'm fine sitting here."
And the two stared at each other.
The manager was thinking about following him and finding out what he's up to.
This kid couldn't be left alone, or he might make trouble everywhere.
It believed even that unknown entity didn't have complete control of him.
After a while, the little boy's eyes suddenly widened in shock, and while pointing in a random direction, he shouted,
"Dragon!"
The manager's feathers stood on end when it released a dragon that it couldn't feel at all, suddenly arrived, and jumped up in panic!
What kind of disaster did its mainland catch while catching bubbles?
Or was it related to this little 'disaster Bringer'?
But it didn't matter where it looked,
There was no dragon anywhere to be seen...
The white canary turned around to ask the little boy where the dragon was, but he was already gone!
Only a sentence was written on the ground,
[ You are so easy to scare, hahaha! ]
"He actually fooled me ..."
And a brief moment later, the words were gone, and the grassland turned back to normal, as if no one had been there from the start.
If the invitation wasn't still in its claw, the White Canary might think all of this was an illusion...
....
*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
"Hello?
Madam Saraswati, are you home?
You have mail!"
Entertainment goddess's heart skipped a beat when she heard someone knocking!
These days, she was giving crystals to the Mainland's newcomers, and she was secretly checking all of her crystals to see if she could figure out why so many new higher beings were joining the mainland.
And now someone suddenly started smashing her door, and she thought that white canary was here to give her a lesson for looking into things that she shouldn't!
Who else could enter her castle without her notice and come behind her door if not the Mainland manager?
"Who is it?"
Asked Entertainment goddess vigilantly.
"Postman Mat.
I have an invitation and a ticket for Madam Saraswati.
Please notify her, young lady."
Said the voice from behind the door of her room.
"Postman Mat?"
Veins bulged on 'Madam' Saraswati's forehead when she recognized the voice for the second time, and remembered there is indeed a second person who can enter her castle freely!
First time she heard the voice,
She was so scared that she ignored it.
While annoyed, she opened the door and said mockingly,
"Well, well, well, look who decided to come back!
If it isn't Mortal, the secret organization's Boss!"
The Crystal, who already knew about 'Postman Mat',
And heard its master actually talk about a big secret as if it were a 'bluff',
< ... >
The little postman at the door, furrowed,
"Young lady, you got the wrong person.
Please call your mother, Madam Saraswati, to come and receive her mail."
Entertainment goddess's breathing turned heavy!
She stretched her hand to pinch him,
But the Little postman glared at her and pushed her hand away, saying seriously,
"Assaulting a postman is a capital offense!
If you repeat it, I will sue you and then your fate will be in the hands of 'government'!"
Entertainment goddess's hand froze for a moment!
The Little postman even snorted at her in the end.
She tried her best to stay calm and even smiled kindly,
"Oh, postman Mat,
I mistook you with someone else.
A silly little brother of mine that isn't right in the head."
The corner of the postman's eye started twitching.
"I-I don't want to know about such a great man.
Please call over your mother to come and receive her mail."
Entertainment goddess chuckled,
"I am the 'mother', how can I help you?"
The Little postman, slightly dissatisfied, said,
"Identification card."
Entertainment goddess nodded and made one on the spot.
She was going to play along and see what he was acting for.
She had many questions to ask him about where he went and started a mess, and how he came back from the empty space outside.
The Little postman compared the Identification card with her and nodded,
"Alright, here is your invitation, and your ticket.
Please sign here."
Entertainment goddess received them and signed the paper.
The Little postman put away the paper and brought out another.
"These are the questions of the organization's higher-ups.
Please answer carefully."
Entertainment goddess nodded,
"Sure."
"Do you want to die?"
"Huh!?"
"Or live, at the end of your act?"
Said the Little postman with a mocking smile.
Entertainment goddess, who knew he was messing around, said,
"Die!"
The Little postman 'gasped'!
The Crystal was shocked,
< Say Live!
Say Live master! >
Entertainment goddess who heard her crystal panicking, coughed,
"I was just joking.
I want to stay alive in my role..."
She knew it was about the role in her contract.
But why so serious? Isn't that just a movie?
The Crystal and the little postman, who knew this movie was more real than anyone thought, wiped the nonexistent sweat from their foreheads.
The little postman put the paper inside his bag and said,
"Well, have a nice day."
And closed the door.
Entertainment goddess laughed in anger and opened the door again,
"Do you think you can come and go as you-"
But the little postman was already gone...
She tried to check her castle and the surrounding area, but he was nowhere to be found.
"How is he so good at hiding?
I still can't find him, even with peak level 7 power?
And what nonsense was he talking about?
Living and dying?
My beloved crystal, why did you panic all of a sudden?"
< Forget about that master!
Just use your ticket; we don't have time. >
"What are you talking about?
What is this ticket?"
And she looked at the ticket that was together with the invitation.
On it was written,
[One-time use ticket to a place that you can advance. ]
Entertainment goddess shook her head,
"You and that brat are trying to mess with me, aren't you?
What else?
If I activate this piece of paper,
I will be teleported to the place-"
And her figure disappeared!
The Crystal, who disappeared with her, nodded.
The space mirror, using a couple of thousands of universes as support, was indeed capable.
It even kidnapped its master using a piece of paper.
So what if she is peak level 7?
....
Planet Lubo.
Silver platform.
The little postman jumped inside the backpack.
Little mortal, in his martial arts clothes, came out a moment later, while asking in confusion,
Does anyone know why there are a bunch of new bubbles attached to the mainland?
I heard it from Postman Mat."
The guardian token answered,
[ Mainland is catching them. ]
Little mortal froze on the spot, then his eyes widened in shock,
"Don't tell me this stupid mainland is changing path?"
[ It is. ]
Little mortal shouted,
"Tell it to stop!
Tell it to stop!
Does it want us to end up meeting those hunters ahead of time!"
[ Request has been sent.
Request has been received.
Request has been denied. ]
Little mortal was at a loss,
"Why?"
[ It says, 'let me catch this last one.' ]
"..."
And after 10 minutes.
[ Mainland is now back to its original straight path. ]
In the past 10 minutes, all of the birth treasures were already gone.
The little monster was getting angrier after each second of waiting!
The gravity around them was constantly shifting, and a slight vibration in the air was causing the space itself to crack.
They knew even though he said he could control his powers now, that was only true if he wasn't angry!
They knew if that stupid mainland didn't stop in time,
He might really start a 'new game' after cutting it 'perfectly', or condensing it to a ball and go start over in another Mainland!
Hearing the last message, Little Mortal turned back to normal.
The birth treasures came back one by one.
He took a deep breath and said,
"It should be fate's interference.
Who else can it be?
Anyway, what's the total number of bubbles we have now?"
[ 6666 ]
Little mortal, hearing the number, chuckled,
"So close, huh?
One less 6 and it would be the devil's sign."
The backpack trembled.
The birth treasures on the way back to it 'cried' river of blood, and regret their lack of 'speed'.
Little mortal attacked.
"What do you mean that extra 6 is necessary for a 'greater evil' like you!?"
*BAM*
"I am the angel of kindness and love!"
*BOOM* *BAM* *BANG*
A one-sided fight broke out!
At the planet's core,
Lubo, now as big as a small hill,
Slowly opened its eyes and looked up when it felt the commotion on the surface!
A cold light flashed in its eyes,
"You disgusting Vulture...
I can feel it.
You are coming, aren't you?
This time... This time, I'll make you regret playing with me!
You don't even know what kind of monsters are waiting for you here...
You dare to devour everything on your path using that disgusting mainland and my law that you copied?
Then come, come here and see who is the real expert when it comes to devouring!"
....
Around the evening,
Little mortal stopped beating the group of birth treasures who one of them called him 'Greater Evil'.
But he didn't stop because he wanted to,
He stopped because Rose came.
"Boss, everyone's ready."
Little mortal, while huffing and puffing, stopped his assault,
"*Phew*, let me take a breath, assistant Rose...
By the way, Mr. Token, any news about the underworld?
Postman Mat announced to the underworld law that I became the secret guardian."
[ Connection with the underworld has been established.
You are now the secret guardian of the underworld hexagon connected to our mainland.]
Little Mortal nodded,
"So it actually worked, that's good."
And then he took out the script that Entertainment Goddess wrote for him from the lifeless backpack, and said,
"Assistant Rose, let's go pick up our strategist first.
Spoiler Hourglass, and Fortune-Teller Orb, you two come with us."
Rose didn't know who the strategist was, but followed him.
The Hourglass of Time, which was always inside the backpack without saying anything, flew out with the Prophecy Orb.
These two were of no use most of the time because someone didn't like to be spoiled and didn't believe in prophecy...
Not long after, they arrived at Fairy's Garden.
"Little Coward, where are you?
Let's go, we have lots of things to do."
Goddess of Foresight, who heard the call, came out of a big tree trunk that seemed to have a house inside with a small Deer.
Some of the trees here were so big that they could have a room in their trunk.
The Deer looked at the one who changed it back to what it originally was and nodded.
"Yo, what's up, little deer?
Go play with someone else, I need her for my movie."
The Deer nodded at him and ran to the garden.
"Jump up."
Little Mortal pointed at the vehicle he was riding.
It was a black tree-seat motorcycle, with Rose at the back.
Goddess of Foresight hesitated for a moment.
A small fairy jumped on Little Mortal's head,
"Boss, what's your level now?
I want to know if it's safe to let you take a newborn with you, and if you can protect her."
Little Mortal looked up while speechless,
"Are you for real, little fairy?
You call her 'Newborn'?
Does she look like 'new' to you?"
But the little fairy puffed its chest and didn't back down,
"Boss, you are the only Oldborn here; the rest are still children, so I need to clarify your qualification before letting you take anyone.
So, what's your current level?
I need to record it."
Little Mortal looked at the fairy with the pen and a small notebook in its hand, and answered,
"6666.
And, excuse me for asking.
But who are you again? "
The little fairy, while writing down the new level, said,
"I am 'Level Confirmation' fairy."
Little Mortal was surprised,
"I was wondering why you are asking me what my level is every time.
So that's your job! "
The little fairy put away its notebook and nodded at the Goddess of Foresight,
"You can go with him.
With level 6666, he can guarantee your safety."
Goddess of Foresight, with a blank mind and face, sat beside Rose.
Not long after they left, a couple of fairies flew to the old fairy in a hurry and told it about the crazy fairy who always asks their Boss about his level, and it's made up 'Level Confirmation' title.
The old fairy thought for a moment and said,
"That's its job, actually.
You guys didn't know ?"
The fairies,
"-_-"
Their 'elder' knew nobody could lie to the Boss, so it simply changed the lie into the truth.
.....
The Guardian's Headquarters.
Or the same inn from Outer Sect City, where Luna was accepting new disciples for the sect here in the past.
Now, the group of Level 6 special forces, who hadn't been seen on the mainland before, was gathered.
Little Mortal needed the actors to be unknown characters so nobody would recognize them from the 'War Channels' in the mainland,
where most fighting forces from different universes were shown in them while fighting on the battleground.
A known non-higher being with level 6 power could easily expose him and his hiding place.
*BAM*
Little Mortal kicked the inn door open and shouted,
"What's up, gang?
I'm back!"
Everyone stood up when Little Mortal walked inside and greeted him,
"Greetings, Guardian Mortal/Boss/Sect Master."
Who didn't know this child wasn't really a child by now?
He lived for at least 14 billion years once!
The age of his former universe.
And now he was in his 3rd year of starting over.
Little Mortal nodded,
"It's been a while, huh?
Please seat everyone.
We have a new member whom I would like to introduce to you.
She is the strategist for the scene you are going to participate in.
So you should become familiar with each other ."
Then he called for Goddess of Foresight,
"Lady Strategist, please come forward."
Goddess of Foresight looked at Rose,
Wondering if she is the strategist.
But Rose chuckled,
"I am the assistant.
You are the strategist, sister Tiresias ."
Goddess of Foresight gulped down and walked forward, while wondering when she became a strategist, and felt warm in her heart when she heard someone actually call her 'sister' .
It means she was already accepted to the group, because the one who called her sister was actually the strongest 'line of defense' on this planet.
Even the birth treasures would listen to her.
Little Mortal walked to the first person in the front row.
"This is Madam Turtle ."
Lady Strategist looked at the familiar-looking lady in a brown robe and nodded.
"Y-yes, we met before ..."
She had a brief stay in the garden, where she saw many newborns, both familiar and unfamiliar, and she was already familiar with the three lines of defense.
Mr. Tiger was the first line of defense,
This lady was the second line of defense, whom she saw in her foresight before,
And Assistant Rose was the third and the strongest line of defense to hide behind if the little monster was out of control.
Little Mortal then pointed at the big tiger lazily lying on the side,
"You know him, too?"
And she nodded,
"Mr. Tiger."
Little Mortal, though, wasn't satisfied with the answer,
"He is not only Mr. Tiger.
He is the strongest, biggest, most composed, undefeated, and magnificent Feline you have ever seen.
Until a cat shows up, though!
Let me tell you!
Lions are part of the cat family!
They are the kings!
Tigers are part of the cat family, too!
They are the biggest!
But cats!?
Cats are the family itself!
The other day, I even saw one of them fighting a tiger!
Can you believe it?
The tiger was like,
'Little ancestor, I was wrong!'
But the cat ancestor didn't back down!
Not only that... "
Little Mortal suddenly starts telling stories about cats and their unbelievable achievements that nobody believed!
Lady Strategist nodded and took note of everything.
It seems the 'first line of defense' wasn't simple either, and if she finds a 'Cat', that would be even better!
Little Mortal waved at the tiger, which only snorted at him.
Then he pointed at an old man with light blue hair.
"This is Old Seven.
He is famous for putting his nose in everyone's business.
If one day you get into a fight, you can bring him along to stop the fight when you beat up the other party, or your opponent is going to beat you up."
"Sect Master, I am a peacemaker..."
Said the old man.
But Little Mortal rolled his eyes at him,
"Yeah, right.
Your video evidence of making peace is still available to watch in the archive of my Guardian Ceremony.
How many invaders died while you were making peace?
Hmmm?"
It was only then that the Goddess of Foresight suddenly came back to her senses and realized why most of the people here were familiar.
They were the people who 'died' in a record that she watched from Guardian Ceremony, and then came back to life one by one because they faked their death ...
So they were experienced actors!?
Little Mortal pointed at a lady with red hair,
"This lady here is 'Miss Fire',
She is always 'on fire'!
Get it ?"
And chuckled while introducing the next person,
"This is Fourth Brother.
Do you feel the sword aura?
Do you see the sharp eyes?
Do you see the straight stature?
All of these are hinting that he is good with....?"
"S-sword?"
"So obvious, right?
If you want to cut down someone, he is the man."
Then he went to the next person,
"Alright, next is the ginger girl over there.
She is a vampire from some high-end, famous family.
She was once an illegal immigrant here,
But now she has finally gotten her visa.
You can call her Third Sister, like the rest,
Or her real name, Princess Xena ."
Princess Xena chuckled,
"Count Dracula, can my mother have a role too?"
Little Mortal was confused at first, not knowing who Count Dracula was.
"Oh, right, I am your ancestor!
I just remembered...
Well, no, she can't because she lived on a famous planet for years and everyone knows her.
But she can come and watch your act 'Live' if she wants to."
Then he went to the next person and said in confusion,
"The sir over here with silver hand is... Jax?"
The muscular Blacksmith with his long hair and beard said awkwardly,
"It's me, Sect Master, Infamous Blacksmith..."
Little Mortal gasped,
"My goodness!
Why are you pretending to be Jax again?
Jax is bald!
You, with that gray beard and hair, can't act as him!"
And gave him a kick in annoyance as he went to the next person.
A sound of chuckling came from the back.
Little Mortal paused and then gritted his teeth while saying,
"Little Charm, was that you? "
A pink-haired lady stopped laughing at the back.
Little Mortal shook his head,
"So immature..."
And introduced the next person.
"This sir with golden hair and shining eyes, is Mr. Scholar.
In the past, he thought he knew a lot.
But now, on the current planet, he knows that he has a long way to go."
Scholar nodded,
"The knowledge added to the planet is indeed enough for me to never have free time anymore."
Little Mortal nodded in approval and pointed at the middle-aged lady with the 'expert' aura around her.
"The lady over there with the mole on the left side of her chin is Expert Luna.
We are sworn enemies because I killed everyone in her family.
She is my Headquarter manager."
Luna, who didn't break character outside, was at a loss inside.
He's never gonna let go of that 'dark joke', is he?
Goddess of Foresight wondered how she could be her sworn enemy and manager at the same time?
She remembered the fairies telling her about their boss, who would joke around occasionally,
However, the problem is that you need to determine whether what he says is a joke or not.
She thought this might be one?
"This is Lady Butterfly, my greatest rival.
She is Assistant Rose's grandmother, too."
Lady Butterfly could only smile bitterly.
"This is Little Charm.
If you leave her on her own, she is going to joke around about everything all day.
We are in such a serious meeting, but everyone heard her laughing!"
Charm Goddess, with lowered head, said,
"I'm sorry, Boss.
I won't do it again..."
Little Mortal shook his head in disappointment.
Then his figure disappeared.
The chair Charm Goddess was sitting on suddenly tilted back, and her lowered face was revealed.
"See, even now she is secretly chuckling and even eating something!"
Charm Goddess, who had some snack in her mouth and was exposed, panicked.
The crowd shook their head.
'What is she thinking, trying to hide something from this little monster?'
Little Mortal sighed in disappointment and walked to the next person,
"This is my little brother, he is the Emperor.
If you saw him in the capital, remember to kneel."
The Emperor waved his hand hastily,
"No need, no need, big brother!"
Little Mortal nodded in approval,
"See?
Did you ever see such a down-to-earth Emperor?"
Then he introduced the lady beside him,
"This is my sister-in-law, and she is an Empress.
So you can show off later to your friends with her identity."
The Empress chuckled,
"Brother-in-law, I brought you some food from the capital. Please accept it."
And gave him a storage ring.
Little Mortal received it with both hands and said,
"And as you can see,
Not only is she a wonderful Empress,
A lovely wife and a great mother,
She is a really considerate sister-in-law, too."
And went to the little boy beside the couple,
"This is my nephew, Little Fred.
Just one look, and you can tell how well-behaved and knowledgeable he is, even at his young age.
Do you know why?"
Goddess of Foresight, who was wondering what to say, saw Rose pointing at the Empress with her eyes.
"B-Because he has a good mother?"
"Exactly!
And as you can see, this lovely family all have silver hair and eyes.
So if you see anyone like them, they are probably the other members of my family."
Little Mortal then patted the head of the little boy beside his nephew,
"This is Little Peanut, my godson."
"What's up, boss!"
"Nothing much, Little Peanut."
Then he pointed at the shadow by the wall,
"The little girl hiding in the shadows with the other girl beside her, who tries to act sneaky, is the news reporter and Little Scarlet...
Little Scarlet thinks she is good at hide and seek, and it seems she has found a teammate, too."
Two people came out of the shadows awkwardly.
One small and one tall with red eyes.
The crowd gasped.
None of them, except Luna and charm goddess, felt their presence until now!
Little Mortal rolled his eyes at the two and looked at the rest,
"Now, those who are first-timers like you."
And pointed at the other pink-haired lady who was looking at him with some resentment,
"This is Pinky, Little Charm's disciple.
Like her master, she is a naughty brat!
But she has at least a Supreme Elder title to show off with!"
Then he pointed at Immortal Manager,
"This young lady here is the highest ranking of my managers; you can call her Immortal Manager."
After that was Snow Goddess,
"This lady with white hair and eyes was my teacher when I was studying in the 'Demoness Sect'.
Snow Goddess, the ultimate villain in this neighborhood.
Can you tell whose mother she is?"
Rose immediately smiled at her, and Goddess of Foresight said,
"A-Assistant Rose?"
Little Mortal nodded,
"Exactly!
Look at their eyes!
It's so obvious."
And then pointed at the man beside Snow Goddess,
"This is Sword God, the unluckiest man alive because fate didn't allow him to become my teacher.
He is Mr. Fourth's disciple, Rose's father, Lady Butterfly's son, and my teacher's husband!"
*Gasp*
Little Mortal was shocked by hearing his own words!
"Now that I think about it, we are connected from four different sources!
How unlucky can you be to not succeed in becoming my teacher?"
Sword God laughed bitterly,
"If it's not fated, then it doesn't matter, I guess..."
Little Mortal took a deep breath,
"Indeed, when it comes to fate, you can't do anything about it..."
Then he looked at the last person.
And the last person looked at him nervously.
"This is Cultivation Planet Manager.
A lazy old man, don't mind him."
The Cultivation Manager sighed in relief.
This little brat, not hanging on his beard, was enough for him.
Little Mortal then pointed at Goddess of Foresight,
"This lady, as you know, is your strategist for your upcoming scene.
People on the mainland call her 'Goddess of Foresight'."
The crowd greeted her.
"She is a little timid,
But I already know how to fix that.
So don't worry."
The crowd nodded.
Goddess of Foresight wondered what he was going to do with her to give her 'courage'.
"Now let's talk about the new movie.
First,
Who doesn't want to participate and just watch with the rest of the audience?"
Wise Turtle and Immortal Manager were the first to raise their hands.
"Little Mortal nodded.
Alright, Madam Turtle, and Lady Immortal, you have a seat in the front row then.
Little nephew, Little Peanut, and the news reporter, you three will be out this time.
Help me with the guests, please."
The three of them nodded obediently.
"Old Manager, you are too lazy, so you are out too.
I don't want a lazy old man strolling around in my movie."
The Old Manager was speechless.
He wanted to be in the movie...
"Alright.
Now that our team is fixed,
Let me explain how things are this time.
To avoid spoiling the movie for you, I will only provide you with part of the script related to your scene.
This way you can enjoy the movie with the rest."
And he signaled Rose to give them the part of the scripts they had a role in.
"This is your role.
As you can see, you are members of a secret organization, making your move to save the mainland in a crucial moment."
The crowd nodded and read the script.
Scholar asked,
"Guardian Mortal,
Is the enemy like last time?
Imprisoned already?"
Little Mortal shook his head,
"No.
They aren't here yet."
The Empress asked,
"Brother-in-law, how dangerous is the act?"
And Little Mortal rolled his eyes at her,
"Would I ever send you anywhere with danger, sister-in-law?"
The Emperor asked,
"How many enemies do we face?"
Little Mortal paused for a moment and said,
"90,000 at first, and... don't know about after that, anything unexpected can happen."
The crowd,
"..."
Charm Goddess asked doubtfully,
"All level 6?"
Little Mortal nodded,
"Your opponents? Yes."
Scholar asked in puzzlement,
"Where is the place where we are recording the scene?"
He wondered if they were in Guardian territory and under the Frontline effect or not.
"Don't know.
It depends on how things develop.
But don't worry, either way, you have your Frontline buff with you."
Hearing the answer, the crowd sighed in relief.
If the Frontline effect was with them, they were invincible and fearless!
The Emperor asked,
"Big brother, what is your role?"
And Little Mortal smiled mysteriously,
"That's a surprise!"
Goddess of Foresight was looking left and right, not knowing what was going on.
But it seems her teammates were familiar with the process.
"Okay, everyone.
Now, about the leading roles.
Mr. Scholar will be your team leader.
The rest of you, do whatever you like,
But remember to say the cool lines that I wrote for you somewhere in your act.
You can act freely besides that, and leave the part where you 'die' to me."
The crowd already saw in their script that they wouldn't survive, so they nodded.
Goddess of Foresight asked nervously,
"W-What about me...?"
Little Mortal looked outside and shouted,
"You two, come in."
And under the curious eyes of the crowd,
The hourglass of time and the prophecy orb flew in.
Goddess of Foresight, who saw the familiar birth treasures of her colleagues from the God's Council, was stunned.
Little Mortal pointed at the two birth treasures,
"You have your foresight.
But,
To make it more effective,
We add two extra support treasures to yours.
One can show the future 10 minutes,
And the other one can make a 'guess' about what might happen after that.
So, the only thing you need to do is add the information from these two to your lantern's foresight and then tell the result to Mr. Scholar.
You don't need to worry about anything after that.
These people are cultivators,
When it comes to killing, with their indestructible body,
They are like killing machines!
And by killing machines, I mean each one alone!
I'm sure if you let one of them go all out, those 90,000 opponents will be slaughtered in a day or two!
But now, we are even putting them together, on the same team, with the added power of seeing both the near and far future, provided by you!
I can hardly imagine what kind of slaughterhouse will be shown in our movie!
Is it even possible for children to watch?
Should we add a +16?
Or even +20 to the movie?"
The crowd of killing machines,
"..."
Goddess of Foresight, who suddenly felt two more birth treasures sharing their power with her,
"..."
And then fainted from the overwhelming changes that just happened to her.
Little Mortal and Rose, who saw their strategist faint,
"..."
The lantern, who felt 'perfection' with the power of the two birth treasures merging with it,
