????????????????????????????????.????????????
Charlotte.
Charlotte.
Where had I heard that name?
"What is happening?" Miss Clayton muttered, completely shocked at the radio. "Do any of you have a watch? Can you pull a screen—Forget it."
As if remembering we were all visible weirdos, she took her words back. She only seemed to have a lens on hand which did not allow visuals while driving.
"So did a gate just open and people poured out of it?" Albert asked. "Also Yuyu, didn't they say Charlotte?"
Charlotte. It couldn't be.
[OH! Oh! The invaders have picked up weapons. G-giants and dwarves and elves and oh my god! I-It's begun! The Outer God invasion has begun!!!]
The words on the radio were a hot mess.
Miss Clayton had pulled the car over in shock. Muttering dwarves and elves and giants and ents.
["What did you just call our leader? Outer God? Lady Charlotte is a Godslayer you fool!"]
"Godslayer!"
I yelped.
My eyes widened in complete shock. There was no way.
The one who had invaded...
Was Eugene Hall's mother. The person who no one knew the fate of.
Charlotte Fonias.
"We need to go," I said in the language of our world. "If she came here then she can take us back. We need to get to her."
"I agree, we must get to the place right now." Albert took in a breath and tapped the shoulders of the driver. "Miss Clayton, this is an emergency, what can you do?"
"Not be involved?"
"Other than that. Can you fight?"
"I only know a few healing skills!"
That would do.
"Yuyu!"
Albert jumped out of the car and pulled Miss Clayton out before switching seats with her. We were kidnapping her in her own car now, I was starting to feel really bad about all this.
"Can you speak so I can understand? What is happening?"
Luka was still confused. But we had no time to answer.
"Should have picked up English, Luka. We used it for two whole days in front of you. [Honeycomb Defense: Hexagonal Shields (Version Float)], [Authority: Seal]"
The car started floating in the air and shot off ahead.
"Oh my!! Stop!!"
"Sorry Miss Clayton, we'll reach in jiffy. Luka, protect her!"
Luka's Ki wrapped around Miss Clayton in a barrier against the speed as we moved through. Albert was spinning the steering wheel and stopped when he realized that it helped zero when I was on it.
"Miss Clayton, please navigate us there."
"How? I don't know plane navs!"
"GPS would do!"
Miss Clayton struggled with the AR windows that only she could see while I continued in the direction of the Hunter's association.
"Quackle says you're on the right path! Just fly a bit more toward the west!"
Miss Clayton, surprised as she was, gave us the right directions right away.
[O-oh! The hunter's association doors have opened!]
This reporter still hadn't left? They were going to die young.
[T-this! This! Unbelievable! This red-haired man that you all see! It is the greatest Hunter to have ever existed! Han Jun Ho!!!]
What?
WHAT!?
HE WAS THERE TOO!?
The car drifted to a stop mid-air, leaving Miss Clayton even more confused.I think you should take a look at
"What? Why did you stop?"
I looked back at Albert.
Things I had been ignoring, I had been forced to accept rather forcefully by Dantalian. Thanks to Lethe, I wasn't affected by it... but...
"I can't go meet him!"
"Why not!? Do you think I have time for this!?"
"I-I can't, ok? Put yourself in my shoes! I don't have the guts to meet him, even Na Ri for that matter!"
"Can't meet? Can't meet whom?" Miss Clayton asked. Annoyed, both of us turned back to her.
"My dad." "Han Jun Ho"
Miss Clayton's jaw dropped.
"Wait what?! Han Jun Ho is your dad? No wait, didn't his son die in the academy—NO WAY"
Fuck! Stop panicking! I had no time for this.
["God, you say? Fine, I can play one."]
["Hoh. You sure look worth my time, warrior."]
"T-they're gonna fight..." Albert said. "I don't know about Charlotte Fonias, but if she's anywhere as strong as Han Jun Ho..."
Then this would destroy at least a continent or two.
Though I had never seen my father fighting, stories from him and my mother made me put him just a tad below Kaiser.
And Kaiser had always had his ass handed to him by Charlotte Fonias.
"F-fuck... this might be bad! He's playing god, she'll kill him!"
"Then move!!"
At Albert's scream, I hit the gears and started floating ahead much faster than before.
"No seriously, can someone please explain what's happening?"
English was definitely important.

Not long after, the skies led closer to the land in the skies above North America, Washington, where the current base of the Hunter's Association was.
As soon as we neared the Island swerving past the helicopters like a bullet, a soft thud resounded.
Everything stopped in its tracks. Everything's attention was taken by the small sound of collision that was similar to striking one's knee against the table.
It was just that.
Everyone.
Heard it.
A grand streak of thunder bellowed in the skies the air compressed and went hurtling out all around.
The shields holding the car and the frame of the car itself were pulverized as the shockwave from the collision of two natural disasters spread.
"LUKA! GET MISS CLAYTON!"
"AAAAA!"
Luka grabbed Miss Clayton falling through the skies after the car was ripped apart while Albert turned toward me.
"Can you stop this!?"
I smirked.
"Of course, I can. Throw me to them."
With a sharp breath, Albert grabbed my hand mid-air and spun around before tossing me as far ahead as he could.
I tore through the air from his feeble throw and rushed past the buildings.
A giant crater going all the way to the core of the Island had formed at the center, and the fists of two cackling monsters were about to collide.
[Authority: UNSEAL]
Before a third intervened.

[A/N: I have decided not to end the story sooner. Not because I changed my mind but because I physically can not. There's still about 150-200 chapters worth of content to get through at the least and I cannot rush through all of it. As such, I will only be updating once or twice a day until the story ends. Thanks for reading all of you!]
