[Charles POV]

"Linsey, its been a while."

My sadistic friend has requested something from me. Even if our contract was on a yearly base, to my surprise, she hadn't used me a lot. With how much she supplied me with resources, you would think she would ask for more.

"Yes, it has been a while."

We last saw each other during our raid on the world Gaia. To be precise, a month and a half ago. After our invasion, Linsey seemed busy.

I wonder what she has been to? With a new world being obtained and our world advancing, many things would pop up in Linsey's schedule.

"Works been busy. So what do you need me for today?"

Getting straight to the point, I asked what Linsey had wanted. It was something important if that so happens to be the case.

"Impatient, are we? I thought we were friends. Come on, let's have a talk."

When Linsey invited me for a talk, I sat down for a talk. For the month we haven't seen each other, we talked about how we have been.

I felt like this was a reoccurring event to the people that I was close with. Nevertheless, I followed the plan, and we told each other stories.

My story was pretty simple to reiterate since I had done this a lot. As for Linsey, she had to leave Earth a lot. Working with the big boss for an interdimensional organization was a big deal. She needed a lot of connections with people across the world.

"For why I call you here. There's an important reason for this. Do you remember that bitch Amanda?"

It was hard to forget about her when Linsey had been bad-mouthing her during the party. But what does she have to do with this matter?

"Yeah, I remember."

"That bitches' alliance member was invaded. Their alliance tried to take revenge, but their attack was unsuccessful."

I thought Linsey would be happy with Amanda's failure, but that wasn't true. Maybe they did hold some sentimental feelings for each other.

"Not only was it unsuccessful, but our whole organization will be involved. We're now at war with the other side."

War? I never thought an organizational war would occur, from me destroying seven worlds to fighting hundreds of worlds.

"The people from the top can't join this war as only people from under the third rank world could be involved."

"You're the only person I know who could end this war. I know this is a tall order to ask, but this is an matter that could also effect our world."

Whether I didn't get myself involved in this matter, the people from the IUC would get involved. If the enemy world wanted to cripple someone from the IUC side, they would go for us.

Thinking about this matter made me sigh. If I didn't fight now, I would have to fight later with many losses.

"I have no choice in the matter. But the people of the IUC better give me a special reward."

"Of course, if you do something noteworthy. The people of the IUC have to give you something. Otherwise, our reputation would be ruined."

Linsey had expected this from me. She smiled, seeing that I had accepted this offer. While the details were minor, I knew what I had to do.

"When would we set out?"

"In three days."

Three days? Constance was still missing, and more problems kept popping up. Since I had received my power, I noticed my days were barely dull. Even when I set all my bad luck to zero, that didn't happen.

"Three days? Do we even have time to be lax?"

"Currently, we're in cease fire. But from intel, the other side seems to be planning to attack. In three days, all of our forces will attack. This will be an all-out attack. If we fail, you should know how serious the problem will be."

Failure meant the destruction of this organization. Well, not annihilation, but all the influence the IUC built in the lower world will be gone. Their capital would decline if they lost all their branched organization.

Fucking politics. Everything has to be political. Even when Linsey had said everything she needed, she asked me to stay for a while.

"It's been a while since we had fun together. I have something interesting in mind, why don't you come and watch it?"

Fun? I tried to imagine Linsey getting prisoners from a cell and torturing them. That was all I could think of when looking at Linsey.

Following Linsey's entertainment, I was surprised that it was something else. I saw Linsey as a one-dimensional character who only enjoyed the pain of others.

"How is it?"

Linsey brought me to an isolated space. In here many gaming devices from every generation are here. I didn't think Linsey was a gamer.

But looking at her petite appearance, I wouldn't say I was surprised. And for the whole day, Linsey and I spent a whole day playing games.

[Third Person POV]

"How's the situation?"

A dragon spoke with a grimace on his face. Even when the dragon asked about the situation, he knew it looked terrible. Everyone here was part of the IUC. Among the higher-ups, there were the people directly in the war. They were here to give the details of what was happening.

"Three of our worlds have already been destroyed. In comparison, we have only destroyed one. We don't know when our enemies will attack."

Gathering information about the other side was tricky. While there were spies in each organization, not everything would be leaked. The most vital information would have to be shared in secrecy.

"We would like to request more resources for the worlds that will be engaged in combat. At this rate, we might be wiped out."

From this conversation, you could tell it looked bad for the IUC. They were at a disadvantage with the other side, and being at a disadvantage in the war wasn't a good sign.
