Baiyi left the room quietly. The discussion had gone out of his control. The Voidwalkers had split into several groups, discussing whether the Claw Druids or the Minotaurs were the strongest land forces; whether the Viking or the Tempest was more powerful; whether the Troll Warrior could defeat the Chaos Knight with her Six Grid Armor; whether the Green Caterpillar would evolve into the Rift Throne; and whether the Manatee would have wings.
They discussed this all the way until dawn, but no one intended to discuss with him how to deal with the incoming angel. Even Lady Assassin, who was on duty today, was discussing with her three sisters whether the angel was pretty or not and whether she was cute or not.
At the end of the day, the Fifth Walker, the representative of the Voidwalkers, should be the one to worry about the battle or the war. The Voidwalkers only needed to provide their own opinions and opinions. After all, none of them had seen or come into contact with angels before, so they knew nothing and had no information about them at all. They could only rely on their imagination and the strength of the enemy to discuss how to fight. That was something that only Moon Chef liked to do.
Still, the things they were discussing were boring enough.
Baiyi could only rely on himself. He could only come up with three solutions to deal with the enemy in such a short amount of time.
First, he could further strengthen his own strength. It would be best if he could unleash his full power without being a human, just like when he fought against the giant puppet of the Godsfall cult in the realm of Mars. However, it was obviously impossible for him to do this alone. He needed the War God's help. However, judging from the War God's attitude earlier, there was not much hope. After all, gods and angels were on the same side.
In the end, the only solution was to start with Little Mia. As long as she became stronger, Baiyi would be able to wield more power, and he would have a better chance of winning.
The second solution was to arm the Voidwalkers and fight alongside the Voidwalkers. This solution was the opposite of the first one. After all, the Voidwalkers in the real world relied on Baiyi's consciousness. The more Voidwalkers he used, the more scattered his consciousness would be, and the less power he could wield. In other words, his combat effectiveness would decrease.
So, was it better to fight alone, when he was at his peak? Or was it better to work together with the Voidwalkers? Baiyi could not come up with an answer because he did not know the angel's condition.
The third solution was to find a way to unite the forces around him, such as the barbarians on the mountain; Aya, who always dreamed of marrying him; his students and professors; and the nobles who had close ties with him, such as Undine, the Southern Duke, or even Vidomina's father.
However, these so-called allies, other than the barbarians, did not have much combat power, and the nobles were more likely to be useless teammates who would hold them back. As for the little female dragon, Aya, and his students, he was still worried that they would be injured or even met with an accident … Therefore, he was not sure whether he should use these forces or not.
In the end, it was because he didn't know the enemy's strength. If he had some understanding of the angel's strength, he would have been better prepared. The preparation for war still had to start from intelligence gathering.
With that in mind, Baiyi returned to his office. From his desk, he took out a piece of paper that looked like an ordinary piece of paper, folded it into a paper airplane, and threw it out the window.

A few minutes later, the door to Baiyi's office opened slightly, but it quickly closed. A voice rang out. "Honorable Elder Emeritus, Umbra listens to you."
"Have a seat," Baiyi said, pointing at the sofa in his office.
A middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the sofa. His appearance was unremarkable, and there was nothing memorable about him. He was the kind of person that would be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
The man rolled up his sleeves, revealing his gauntlets. There were three scars on them, indicating that he was a Blade Scar Assassin from Umbra.
"What's with this quick action? And if it's just a mission, why would you send a Blade Scar Assassin? "Baiyi asked curiously.
"It just so happens that there's going to be a new advanced class, so I'm here to prepare for it. I saw your message, so I came over," the Blade Scar Assassin replied humbly.
According to the agreement between Baiyi and Umbra, Lady Assassin Walker would hold an advanced class every year, so it was no surprise that the Blade Scar Assassin would show up.
"Alright. I need information on angels. The more, the better. The more detailed, the better. Whether it's folklore or the Church's secrets, I need it all," Baiyi stated.
The Blade Scar Assassin did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment before replying in a low voice, "I'll need about a week's time."
"As soon as possible," Baiyi nodded.
After that, the assassin vanished into thin air. He did not mention the reward, nor did he mention the difficulty of the mission. According to the agreement between the two parties, this was a service provided by Umbra to Baiyi free of charge. Even if it required an experienced Umbra assassin to infiltrate the Church's eerie courtroom and steal secrets, which might cost the assassin's life, it was still free of charge.
After arranging for Umbra to help him gather information, Baiyi left the office and went straight to Mia's house. The little girl did not need to invigilate her exams today, so the sun had just risen. She should still be in bed, right?
Unexpectedly, Mia had woken up earlier than usual. She was enjoying her breakfast, which was a piece of cake filled with cream. Her face was contented as she finished the cake in small bites. Then, she licked the cream off her fingers. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. She ran to the dressing mirror and stretched out her hand to tighten her nightgown. The nightgown tightened, revealing the curves of her slender waist.
Mia looked at herself in the mirror. She looked left and right to make sure that her waist was still slender. She had not grown fatter. She lifted her dress slightly and looked at her thighs. When she was sure that her thighs were still toned and tight, she let out a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Baiyi pushed open the door of her house. Judging that she was still asleep, he did not knock on the door. Instead, he walked in quietly without making any noise.
Mia did not notice his arrival at all. When Baiyi entered the house, he saw his youngest daughter lifting her dress and looking at herself in the mirror. Then, she looked relieved.
This scene could easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. Baiyi was stunned as well. Hesitantly, he asked, "W-What are you doing? Don't tell me … "
"Ah!" Mia was startled. When she turned around, she saw Baiyi standing at the door. She was so flustered that she even forgot to put down her dress, allowing Baiyi to admire his youngest daughter's breasts.
'Tsk tsk. How old are you? Why are you still wearing the teddy bear style? Didn't you buy a lot of black lace ones before? But the teddy bear style is still not completely replaced? '
"Mr. Hope, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Mia quickly composed herself, straightened her skirt, and asked.
"Um … There's something I need to talk to you about. To be exact, I need your help," Baiyi said seriously.
"Huh? There's a time when I can help you, Mr. Hope? That's great! Tell me, what do you need me to do? I'll help you no matter what it is, "Mia said happily, forgetting all about the awkwardness from before.
In less than an hour, however, Mia regretted her words. Baiyi had brought her to his laboratory, where he had her put on a proper sorcerer's robe, and he had her undergo the so-called 'hellish' training.
Hmm, not in front of him, please don't misunderstand.
The sorcerer's training consisted of meditation, magical practice, and theoretical study. There would be no time for rest, and sleep would not be allowed. Instead, she would have to meditate instead. This also meant that Mia would have to say goodbye to delicious desserts, soft beds, and the upcoming holidays. She would have to devote all her time and energy to her training, so that she could become stronger as soon as possible.
Of course, Mia was reluctant. Just as she was about to throw a tantrum and ask Baiyi to pinch her cheeks and play with her pigtails, Baiyi told her about the Church's plan to summon an army of angels to hunt him down, and how the Voidwalkers were facing a crisis. He even added a lot of details to the story, making it sound even more serious.
Suddenly, Mia no longer complained. It was as if she had found her life's purpose. She was filled with fighting spirit, and she willingly took control of the formation and began her spell-casting practice.
Perhaps, in her heart, Mr. Hope was more important than fun and enjoyment, perhaps even more important than anything else.
'This time, it's my turn to protect Mr. Hope …' Mia thought to herself as she clenched her fists.
Baiyi had originally planned to accompany Mia in her training and give her pointers so that she would not go astray. However, the Sorcerer's Association had sent him a message earlier, informing him to attend an emergency meeting at the Babel Tower. It seemed to be related to the missing students.
According to the Sorcerer's Association's notification, Blade Peak was not the only realm affected by the Church's summoning ritual. Other realms were affected as well. This situation, which was completely incomprehensible to ordinary people, had caused some panic.
