Red light flared.
A piercing alarm rang throughout the building.
In the busy office center, several staff members broke into a run, leaving documents scattered across the floor behind them.
But they could no longer spare them any attention.
"Level-one alert!"
"Attention, this is a level-one alert!"
"The Nightmare King's battle has lasted too long. We recommend raising his threat level!"
"The Time Saint has unleashed a time-reversal art!"
"Both events have occurred simultaneously. We request the Ten Thousand Worlds Survival Council's approval!"
Shouting, they rushed through the corridor bustling with voices and pushed open the Conference Room doors.
Bang-
The doors opened.
They froze.
The Conference Room was filled with powerful figures.
Every one of them had taken on a human appearance.
The Saints-
Had long been waiting here.
Seated at the head was a plump old man with graying hair and a face full of kindly warmth.
"We have all approved the Time Saint's time reversal. Now mobilize the power of all laws to turn back time throughout the Ten Thousand Worlds by three minutes."
The fat old man spoke.
"Yes! Executing immediately!" A staff member ran out.
"Raise the Nightmare King's threat level to S-Rank," the old man added.
Another staff member said in shock:
"S-Rank! Sir, wouldn't that mean-"
"Yes. Establish an Illusory Passage immediately. We will project ourselves over there."
"Are we carrying out the ultimate extermination? I'll prepare at once!"
"No. We must make contact with him now."
A trace of helplessness flashed through the old man's eyes.
"If he were another species, exterminating him would be fine, of course. After all, the safety of the living beings of the Ten Thousand Worlds comes first."
"But-"
"He is human, a human living in the Truth World."
"We must make him understand."
