Chapter 302 Ally Or Enemy?
I explained to her about my plans on this planet after finding its nature. The information I got after making the slash was enough to pique my interest here. In fact, I can get much stronger here than on my own planet.
"It\'s ridiculous as it is… but even if you consider its absurdity, we still shouldn\'t forget that the roots of this whole mess lie back on your planet. You haven\'t forgotten that, right?"Aisha asked as she looked at me with a serious gaze.
I nodded as I decided to give out another piece of information.
"I need to be much stronger than I am right now. The enemy I am fighting is kind of too strong…"
"Well. I understand your concern. But I doubt he could be stronger than the 12 Higher Gods, one which is the one who owned this planet. Even if he is dead, he won\'t like it to be occupied by someone who knows nothing about it,"Aisha spoke as she looked at me with a deep sigh.
"You probably don\'t know about the Higher Gods do you?\'\'She made an awkward smile again but this time I had a little Idea about it.
\'They were the same people that I met when I first met Aether, weren\'t they? The one whom I met after learning spear arts with Armes,\' I recalled about them. Though I don\'t remember where, I got another piece of information too…
"The one I am fighting… he is stronger than the Higher Gods,"I spoke as I looked at Aisha seriously. Though rather than getting surprised, she narrowed her eyes at me.
I saw her expression turning silent as she observed me without any clue to what she was thinking… but I could feel it… she was ready to slice my head based on my answer.
"The one you are fighting. What\'s his name?"She asked
"I don\'t know,"I answered honestly. I was ready to fight a life and death battle with her, but she asked another question,
"Is he a human? The one whom you are fighting?"
"I don\'t think so. I haven\'t met him, but I am pretty sure he is not a human,"I answered as her eyes locked onto me. She still wasn\'t satisfied with my answer, but her expression seemed to lighten a lot.
"This is a bit bothersome… what if the one you are trying to kill is someone close to me?"She asked out her concern as she observed me with a deep look. She didn\'t seem like she was trying to fight with me…
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Someone that strong is related to you?"I asked as I looked at her before I suddenly recalled…
"Ah! Your father!"I spoke as I recalled how she spoke that her father destroyed the entire multiverse… though on that note..
"Wait, a second! Can\'t your father help us in this timeline?" I asked as I looked at her. If he is that strong and she has such a strong connection. Why are we even trying-
"He still hasn\'t been born in this timeline. I don\'t feel my connection with him. Either it\'s a time which has long passed till he died, or he still isn\'t born yet. I believe the latter,"she spoke as gave a small smile before she continued,
"Hmmm… is there anything you know about your enemy?"
"Ummm… wouldn\'t it be better to solve the important problem at hand? What if we really turn out to be enemies? Wouldn\'t that only decrease the chances-"I was speaking that, but then she smiled at me with the most friendly smile…
"Michael. I would rather die and suffer for eternity than to work with someone who is against my father…"she spoke
I gulped, as I didn\'t know where it would take it. Should I lie to her? No… she would be able to see it. She is a strong ally… but if she happens to be the daughter of the Zombie King… this could be problematic.
\'What\'s worse is that I don\'t even know the extent of her power,\'I thought as I saw her taking out a giant great sword out of space. The giant great sword was at least 5 times larger than hers, yet she held it without any problem.
She kept observing me with a keen gaze as she took a first step towards me…

"Are you really that cruel?"I asked as I looked at her. She seemed to be a nice person.
"If it\'s for my family. I can wipe out planets. A single individual doesn\'t carry much weight. But that is after we declare that to you that. A good person like you shouldn\'t really be an enemy of my father. Despite how dad is, he won\'t harm you in many ways,"she spoke as she looked at me. Her eyes were ready to kill me, her weapon pointing at me, her body ready to go for a battle.
"At least speak that in a friendly manner,"I too looked at her with a serious expression before I began speaking, "The guy that I want to fight is one of the people who caused a Zombie Apocalypse on my planet. He supposedly took over the entire universe, becoming the king and is trying to ma-"
Though in between my speech, I saw her picking her great sword back into her space as she stretched a little.
"Is that so?"her smile was refreshing as she looked at me. Did her doubts vanish? Or is there anything else to this entire thing now.
"It\'s fine. You can lower your guard now. My father… he might be a leader at times, but that is only to protect his own. He would never rule a single planet or more. I am actually relieved, Michael. Seems like we can continue our cooperation for a longer time now,"she spoke as she answered my queries. I could only look at her with a dumbfounded look. Just who in the world was she? And… How many people are there as strong as her?
\'I must get stronger,\' I vowed in my heart. This was more than I can chew.
I used the [Eyes of the Time Keeper] to see how long before someone attacks me.
[19 seconds!]
\'Hmmm… it\'s not Aisha then,\' I sighed as I put my guard down a little. I looked around the planet for a couple of seconds, finding Irene and Caroline looking at us with slight horror.
"Ah! You guys were here too,"I spoke as I totally forgot about them… but more than that… my eyes reached the horde of monsters that have surrounded us completely from all sides.
"Need help?"Aisha asked as she looked at me and I chuckled as I shook my head,
"Let me have some fun for now."
It has been a while since I let myself be tested out.
