Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Chapter 231 Assignment





Asqa stood in stunned silence after hearing Joshua's words. Something that even Celestials, the most powerful beings in the multi-verses, couldn't comprehend? It sounded impossible, but Asqa had just heard it firsthand from one of Archangel Uriel's confidants. 

It shouldn't be completely out of the realm of possibility then. There truly was something capable of threatening the Celestials.

And that 'thing' - according to what Joshua said - could have gone from wherever the place it originated was, to The All Territory.

Joshua saw the look on Asqas's face. Her eyes widened and her jaw almost dropped to the ground after hearing what he said.

But Joshua had expected that to happen.

"I know you must be shocked. But this is what is happening now," Joshua said. "In the past, this news was only known by a small number of beings who were high ranking in the Celestials' follower hierarchy. But now almost all of their followers already know."

"Because they have to prepare themselves for the worse?" Asqa asked.

"Yes." Joshua nodded. "That's why I invited you to meet here. With your talents and abilities, you could become one of the important followers of Archangel Uriel."

Asqa only heard a little bit of what Joshua said because she was busy thinking about other things.

'I have to give this information to Clyde!'

"Asqa?"

Asqa came to her senses and looked at Joshua again. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just... still surprised by what you said."

Joshua smiled faintly. "Don't worry. Whatever it is, we are teamed up with a very powerful Archangel. Her Majesty will definitely be able to deal with that threat."

Asqa also knew how great the power of the Archangel Uriel was. She found it hard to believe that there was a threat that could corner her.

Moreover, she is not alone. After all, it threatens all of The All Territory so all Celestials will definitely unite to deal with it.

When she thought about it again, Asqa felt that the threat was not a problem at all. But Asqa still felt that she should tell Clyde about it.

"Then, let's start the training," said Joshua.

"Eh?" Asqa turned her head with a confused face towards Joshua. "What do you mean?"

"I told you that you could become one of the most important if a bad scenario really happened?" Joshua said.

"B-But, what should I do? I'm just a healer."

Joshua took out a small chuckle. "You are a 'Witch Doctor'. You are not only a healer but there are still many things you can do."

Asqa can't help but frown. She never thought that she had any other abilities apart from being a healer.

"No wonder you don't know. You've never known someone you could mentor all this time," Joshua said. "But now there is me. I have plenty enough knowledge."

A glint of excitement appeared in Asqa's eyes. "What other abilities can I learn?"

For Joshua, he sees the glint as Asqa's passion to be more useful to Archangel Uriel. But what Asqa wants is so that she can be useful for someone else. Definitely not the Archangel.

"Energy manipulations," Joshua replied. "For now, you will learn about it first. Other abilities will follow once you have mastered it."

Asqa nodded vigorously.

Joshua cocked his head towards the field and then walked first. Asqa followed him with a burning spirit in her heart.

They started a real conversation as soon as Leon, Albert, Rosie, Wiley, and Lola arrived. Just like Clyde, Anahita made them the drinks they ordered.

After a long time without tasting the drinks from their previous lives, the five of them immediately ordered with immense excitement. They ordered their favorite drinks.

Leon and Albert ordered an espresso, Wiley ordered an iced americano and Rosie and Lola both ordered parfaits.

Clyde didn't know they liked that. What they ordered started to show a little bit of their personality.

Meanwhile, when he saw what was in front of him, there was only a cup of coffee that he hadn't even drunk yet. Clyde again feels that his life is quite monotonous.

Leon let out a long sigh after drinking his espresso, then said. "I never knew there was a place like this before."

"Even though you knew about this place before, I wasn't here so it's just an ordinary building," Anahita replied. "I'm sorry, maybe you guys still want to relax in this place. However, we have something important to talk about."

The expressions on the faces of the five people instantly dimmed. But they didn't complain because that was their real goal when they came here.

"So, what should we do?" Wiley asked.

"You will immediately enter the domain of one or more Celestials to find the path to a place called the Nexus of Creation," Anahita replied.

"What's that exactly?" Albert asked.

"It's where everything was created. Celestials, and the multi-verses."

"Whoa! So we got a pretty big job!" Wiley exclaims.

Anahita nodded. "That's why it's also a big risk. I recommend you find another party to go with."

"We can ask Samuel's party," Clyde said. "They will definitely be willing."

"But, they don't have the power of the system anymore, do they?" she asked.

"Yeah but, they're strong enough. Though they can't be as strong as us," Clyde replied.

"However, you have to overcome the dispute that occurs if they know about it," said Anahita. "How do you think you can do that?"

Clyde paused and thought for a few moments. The five people and also Anahita stared at him.

"Yeah. I think I can do that," Clyde replied after a few moments of silence.

"Alright, then. Do some practice for a few weeks first," said Anahita.

"A few weeks? Isn't that too long?" Clyde asked.

"Is that so?" Anahita raised her eyebrows. "Well, I'm giving you that long because I thought your training would be tough. But if you feel you can be ready quicker, that's even better."

Anahita smiles and stands up. "I have to go now. Don't worry, you guys can stay here as long as you want. But I won't be here for tomorrow and after."

"You don't?" Clyde asked.

Anita shook her head. "No. You can talk to Maethion or another member of the Senior Council when you feel ready."

Anahita walks out towards the door and disappears. Leaving them inside the now suddenly very empty cafe.

Clyde suddenly stood up without finishing his coffee.

"I'm going to go see Samuel's party to talk about this," Clyde said. "Meanwhile, you guys can probably continue with your own training."

Without waiting for a reply from them, Clyde walked out of the cafe. The five people felt they didn't need to rush, so they chose to chat while finishing their drinks. Because they don't know when they will be able to enjoy something like this again.

Clyde approached Samuel and his party in the hotel building. They were all surprised when they found Clyde's arrival.

Samuel came from upstairs a moment later. And in no time, they started the meeting.

Because he didn't want to waste time, Clyde immediately said the gist of what they were going to do. As he had expected, the reaction of Samuel's party was one of obvious shock, fear, and all kinds of reluctance.

Leyan turned his head away from Clyde as if gazing at the environment that was always that night outside was far more pleasant than staring at him.

Kei and Haru who were sitting side by side looked at each other and then turned to Samuel. Meanwhile, Kiara fidgeted her wand restlessly.

Clyde glanced at them all. He didn't say anything after saying what he wanted to say and chose to wait.

"When are we leaving?" Samuel asked.

"Senior Councils are giving us a few weeks. I don't know exactly how many. I'll ask that once you've agreed," Clyde replied.

"What if we disagree?" he asked.

Clyde shrugged. "We have to find another party. In the end, we have to keep going."

"We can help. But we are not sure we have enough strength," said Samuel.

"You don't really need to fight. We will face the threat directly. You just provide support," said Clyde.

Clyde is still confused, about whether he should say about the power of system that still exists or not. Eventually, Samuel and his party would definitely find out about it.

'Maybe later,' thought Clyde with an uneasy feeling.

"What exactly is our job?" Leyan asked. "Finding the path to The Nexus of Creation? That sounds ridiculous. Where the hell do you get the information about that?"

"About that... I'll tell you about that some other time," Clyde replied. "For now let's focus on the important things first. If you guys are willing to come along, we should start doing the training."

"We're in," said Samuel.

Leyan, Kei, Haru, and Kiara turned toward him. But they didn't complain because they also thought that this expedition was something important. An expedition that would bring them even closer to the Celestials.
