As for the upheaval in the [First War Zone], Natsume knew nothing about it at the moment.
His [Law of Time] was powerful, and he could even foresee the future.
But it was far from omniscient or omnipotent.
It had considerable limitations in both range and time.
Naturally, he could not foresee everything happening hundreds of light-years away...
If he had known that Madara had already broken through to [Demigod] and had even slaughtered a [Vassal God], Natsume would probably have been startled as well.
He had anticipated that, after accumulating strength within Dragon Palace City, Madara might be able to grasp some kind of [Law] in one fell swoop and knock open the door to the [Demigod] rank.
But the odds had been pitifully low!
He had never truly expected Madara to become a god overnight.
Who knew

Meanwhile, Natsume, disguised as "Elder Nisshiki," received the [Mandatory Deployment Order] issued by Meishiki at the earliest opportunity.
This deployment order did not exceed Natsume's expectations.
The two-[Demigod] team had been changed into a three-[Demigod] team;

was far more comfortable and convenient...
For one thing, he could use Mishiki again to provide false testimony for him.
For another, the [Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth War Zones] would all fall
