Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 39 - Previous ETER Union Leader

[Time : Past, Place : ETER Union ]

In a certain fleet office, a man was sitting, taking care of the various files that were in front of him. He was the leader of the ETER Union before Maya or the leader of the ETER Union at this time. In his seat, he calmly took care of the various data he had to complete.

However, that calmness was interrupted when an officer came in haste and began to speak in panic.

“Sorry leader, we get a report that there has been an invasion.”

The ETER Union leader frowned.

The news did surprise him, but with the sheer amount of experience he had gone through, the ETER Union leader did not panic.

He quickly acted, picked up his formal suit and prepared to leave.

“Alright, let's go to the command room and report what happened on the way.”

Actually the ETER leader has a lot of questions, but currently there is no time to waste. The invasion of Eternite was not an ordinary matter, it was a serious matter that had to be dealt with immediately.

……

The ETER leader walked quickly towards the command center of the ETER Union fleet.

As for the ETER Union officers, it was behind him. He gave me a general idea of what happened. The information was not very complete, but it was enough to make the ETER Union leader aware of the situation.

( Door Open )

The steel door opened automatically revealing the situation inside the command center.

If described as a pretty tense situation, some officers walked quickly to and fro, some officers reported what had happened, and some officers did their job.

In addition, there was also a red colored light signifying that something big had happened.

Not long after the door opened, a beautiful woman in glasses approached the ETER leader.

“Hasegawa, tell me what happened. Why did we not detect this before.”

The ETER leader said.

That's right, it was the same Hasegawa who became the leader of the ETER Union in the future.

Unlike in the future, he was wearing a full attendant uniform at the moment.

For her appearance, she looks like a woman in her early twenties, but is actually almost close to the age of Riyu's mother.

{ Hasegawa : Narrator-san, you seem to provide taboo information }

{Narrator : Forgive me, Hasegawa-sama. It won't happen again, maybe}

Ahem, forget about that.

Hasegawa-sama has the appearance of a beautiful flower that is still fresh at this time.As for the future she has certainly bloomed completely, becoming an irresistible flower to pick.

“In our report, it is possible that only Ruler came without troops so we could not detect his arrival. It is likely that Ruler could hide his arrival undetected by us. We realized the situation after we saw one of the islands in Kingston city from satellite turned into ice island.”

“Understand, give me complete information about the current situation. How many victims and what about the actions we have done.”

“Itu... The island is a private island belonging to the Akaasa Family and currently the island is only occupied by 3 people. It was Two Kamigami and one of his students.”

Two Kamigami, it was the nickname Ryu's parents were given by ETER Union. The name has the meaning of two gods.

Indeed, ETER Union acknowledged the abilities Ryu's parents had included in the battle, which many people did not know.

“.....”

The ETER leader was so shocked that he stopped his steps for a moment. He was surprised because the Kamigami Two were likely the targets of Ruler.

I don't know what they did to get Ruler to step in, but obviously it would be a big loss if something happened to them.

“How does the Akaasa Family react about this?”

Before the Aka Lords question was answered, a sound of alarm was heard, making the current situation even more gripping. It was probably a warning about something that had happened.

“Leader, we received information that there is a space crack and a huge Energy surge around the island.”

Hearing that, the ETER leader started to get very serious. He knew what it meant in case of a space crack along with a surge of energy. That meant….

The Third Eternite invasion has begun.

The ETER leader turned around and looked towards all the officers.

“All of you, start our emergency protocol will-”

“No need to do.”

Before the ETER Union leader finished his order, it was cut by the sound coming from the large monitor that was in front.

“Akahasa! What do you mean. This is an emergency situation. If we act late we will experience a very big disaster.”

“Calm down, no need to rush. I'm at the current location. I can handle the situation or at least give you some time to get ready, without having to use emergency protocol.”

“Don't play around here!”

“Hah... (sighs) my family is at stake, do you think I will have time to play around with their safety?”

“.....”

The ETER leader could only be speechless hearing what Mr. Akaasa said. As he said, Mr. Akaasa had no time to play around with the safety of his family. And ETER leaders know how to treat the Akaasa Family to their own families.

Then why do the two of them seem to refuse to use emergency protocol if the situation is not forced?

That's because there's a nuclear launch protocol in the emergency protocol. Of course with the record that the situation cannot be handled anymore.

But that is not the reason Mr. Akahasa does not want emergency protocols launched.

He did not want ETER Union officers who were at a certain distance from the Invasion to rush to his place immediately.

In its protocol, it would be a suicide mission as they would have to hurry without complete preparation and endure for as long as possible.

But for Mr. Akaasa that's not the case.

He just doesn't want them to hurry up and find out that Maya is a Ruler.

For now, the state of the island can indeed be seen from the outside including using satellites. But it's hard to see what the people in it are doing.

Maya identity is still hidden because of the existence of a protector that is difficult to record what happened.

Only the Akaasa family access the current state of the island, even if it is only an island not a laboratory.

“Alright, hold them for a moment. We will use another protocol and come with careful preparation.”

“Thanks, Hiroto.”

Grandpa Riyu called the name of the ETER leader by his name. That's likely because they're pretty familiar acquaintances or maybe good friends.

……

“I've solved the first problem, now what we will do to the girl.”

Mr. Akaasa looked at the girl who was far ahead of him.

Various Eternites also started popping up, again and again. There were also some Eternite corpses with spears, swords, and various other light weapons charging viciously at their bodies.

“Can grandfather handle the monster, I want to talk to Maya.”

“I can't allow it. Once he finds out his identity, we still don't know what the girl will do. It would be very dangerous to approach it without knowing the circumstances.”

“Maya was just angry, she didn't turn into a monster, I'm sure of that. Please grandfather, only I can talk to him.”

Grandpa Riyu looked at her begging granddaughter. And seeing his eyes was more radiant than usual.

“Hah. I'll hand it to you.”

“Thanks, grandpa”

“It's new.”

Mr. Akaasa realized there was a change happening to Riyu.

It was his emotions and how he handled the situation. However he did not think too much about that for now, there were still serious problems to be resolved.

'How many times have I sighed in this one day.'

Mr. Akaasa muttered.

“Gen.”

“Ya, sir.”

The mysterious-looking person came behind the Akaasa master.

No one knows where he was before. But that is what is expected of the special forces belonging to the Akaasa family.

“Send half the troops to protect the boy and the other half goes to deal with Eternite. They're fewer than we thought so half your army can handle them.”

“Siap, sir.”

Then the man disappeared, like a shadow, possibly heading for his army.
