CHAPTER 390: 390 THE BUSIEST PERSON

[El’s POV: ]

{ "Master, the output is not enough anymore." ]

"Increase it by 0.1% then. We have to maintain it until Ana is done from her side!"

Things were hectic on the sky fortress.

{ "If I increase it by 0.1% the whole thing will blow up, stupid master! There is a blockage in area 12, 9, 6, 33, and 15! The entire island will crash down to the ground and half of that planet will be destroyed!" }

"What will we get with just half a planet’s destruction dumbass! And if you know 0.1 will be too much, why the fuck are you even telling me about it?! Just maintain it by yourself! I’m fucking busy here!"

Not only was I working on the systems of the entire fortress, maintaining the weapons that were constantly killing the creatures that surrounded the entire sky above the battlefield, I was also dealing significant blows to the ground forces, contributing heavily to the ongoing battle.

On top of that, I was also maintaining the channel and the livestream that was going on at the moment along with the spectators and the higher beings who were being a pain in the ass once again.

’All of them knew about this ongoing epic and just like vultures, they had all gathered around here to pick up the crumbs and carcasses.’

This was a war scenario so the chances that they could make some kind of contribution through indirect interference was pretty high, and we could not let that happen.

’This was his epic. Even my contribution was all transferred to him. There was no fucking way in no fucking hell that I was going to let those mothless wothless bitches interfere with my baby’s epic.’

I was working on three things simultaneously. And dealing with those motherfucking bastards was the toughest since unlike our previous streams, there were more spectators that we have ever had in this life.

Many of them were high ranking nobles from the emperor’s side. So, dealing with them was even more challenging.

’Not that it was a big problem.’

I’ve handled the entire worldline’s traffic at my prime. This much is nothing...

{ "Master! I can’t do it on my own, you know! You have to handle the valves so that I can circulate the energy flow! I’m just a tool at this point! Not the one using the tool!" }

"Fucking shut up for a minute!"

I was dealing with some serious issues on one side and there he was, blabbering about something he can easily take care of on his own!

"Give me three minutes! Handle the flow on your own till then!"

We were in the core room of the fortress, the place where only someone as strong as us could enter.

{ "How the hell am I supposed to handle all that energy blockage! There’s no way to even-." }

"For fuck’s sake, Cary! You’re a fucking dragonlord for fuck’s sake! Just do something! Eat that fucking extra energy if you have to but give me three fucking minutes!"

There was no time to waste here.

The weapons that were dealing with those winged shits were not on autopilot but were controlled by me.

On the ground, Lucy was done dealing with the bitch with teddy bears as well so only the demon and that young fucker were left... and there was a problem.

’That bastard got his hand cut off while fighting that cutesy bitch!’

Thankfully, the hand was only cut down by a strong wind force... I’m pretty damn sure he did it on purpose to make her drop her guard or something, but, the fact that he lost his hand midway remained the same.

’That bastard was being treated right now so I had to take care of the youngest of the divine messengers that had now gone berserk and was running wild throughout the battlefield.’

He was going to manipulate him into attacking the other side’s demons but now that he was off the field for a moment, I had to clean up after him!

"Ughhh!"

It was not easy. Doing all these things at the same time was mentally exhausting.

If it weren’t for my mental skills and Ana talking some burden off my shoulders, I might have become useless after casting that big ass teleportation spell.

{ "Master! It’s been three minutes already!" }

"The fuck?! When?!"

If it weren’t for this little dragon of mine, it would have been impossible to run this big ass piece of junk the way it was working right now.

’He was pretty much the main powerhouse of this entire Fortress.’

Surely there was a main power centre of this fortress, we were staying right inside it right now, but instead of it directly powering the fortress, we were using Cary as the main power centre while using the power of the core to cast the hundreds of spells that we were using in this battle.

The guns weren’t enough to deal with the kind of creatures we were facing so reinforcement magic was being used constantly.

’And it wasn’t easy to cast those spells while maintaining these three fronts all on my own.’

The others already had their hands full with their own shits.

Everyone was busy but I’m the busiest one among them.

And yet, the troubles aren’t stopping. Things are getting worse and worse.

"Can you hold on just a little longer?!"

My little dragon was the most miserable being present on this battlefield right now.

He was powering this goddamn fortress even though it was old and many of the places that were crucial to maintain its suspended state were old and corroded.

He was doing whatever he can to keep it floating while Ana was working on a completely new system that would release all the burden on him... but that needed the time which we were running out of.

{ "Master... please... finish quickly..." }

He was a dragonlord but he was also under many restrictions. And yet he was still doing the best he possibly could, probably doing even more than what he was currently capable of.

"Fuck, let’s settle this shit first."

The berserk youngest one was finally attacking the demon army instead of the skeletons or the golems.

It took a fuck ton of efforts, skeleton sacrifices, and much much more... but he was at least dealt with for now.

"Let’s see. Hmmm... alright, first of all, let’s flood the area 6, 9, and 12. The flow will be recycled when it passes through and I’ll repair the damage.

You coordinate with the repair and deal with the remaining ones at my command."

{ "Yes!" }

He was handling the entire energy circuit on his own like a battery that could decide where the electrical current will flow and how much power one area will receive.

He was doing as much work as Ana, Lucy or myself. Perhaps, he was facing the most difficult challenge among us as well.

But he was doing it even with all those complaints.

He surely was something deserving of being my partner.

"Alright! Release the rest of them!"

-Ooooooooooooooooong!

The energy blockade was a problem that was causing trouble for him since a while ago, but now that it was dealt with, he should be able to do a better job with all the things that he was doing, as well as things that he will have to do from now on as well.

"Now, take up the Mana circulation of the spells as well. Give Anna a little break."

{ "What about my break?!" }

"Why does a tool want a fucking break?! Just work like a tool if you are a tool without complaining! Fuck!"

He knew I didn’t mean any of that as well as how bad I was feeling for him as well through our familiar connection.

But there was no helping it in this situation.

There was just too much on my plate, and there was just too much that Ana was doing right now.

She was the one maintaining all the artificial intelligence units, golems, and all the spells that were being used right now.

She was the main control room of all the operations if I have to say so myself, and without her, this whole damn battle would have been a lost cause.

’She was not strong enough to do all that either. Even her restrictions were pressing her down.’

And since she had to work on something new at the same time as doing all that she was doing, she was having problems and the risk of failure was increasing.

"Just... do it for now. You might get a break if things do go well."

{ "...I’ll try my best." }

On one side were the higher beings spectators, on the other side were the higher beings present on this battlefield.

Chaos was everywhere and the biggest threat, the emperor, had not even made any move or his own either, so things were essentially tense on our side.

’Spades and Clubs are doing their best as well.’

Dealing with the situation on the ground and on the fortress was not anything easy.

Even if it was happening behind the scenes of this epic, it was still something that would have been a grave threat if it weren’t for them.

The people that were guarding the cardinal directions of the higher part of the castle were also doing what they can to deal with all those creatures flying out of that fucking crack.

’It should close soon now.’

We were waiting for that moment.

’A day has passed already...’

It was the hour of twilight so by the rules, the war should have stopped by now.

But, there was no way this war was going to stop when the two opposing higher factions of the Worldline were present here at the same time.

’They are a pain in the ass as well.’

If I were some omnipotent god that could interfere with this fucking world without restrictions, I would fucking blow up all those damned shits!

’It would be best to just blow up this entire fucking world if possible!’

Alas I was no god like that, yet.

And there was still some time before we would have to blow up this damned world...
