Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: Energy Fluctuations Outside Earth

For the current Yagami Hayate, she likely cannot yet perceive the changes within herself; but as time passes, she will increasingly understand that she is different from the people of this world.

Rather than waiting, it is better for her to move to the High School DxD world while she is still young.

This is both for Yagami Hayate's development and for Rias's convenience in raising her.

Of course, the latter is the main point.

Although Yagami Hayate was concerned about her 'uncle,' she fell silent after Rias revealed her uncle's true identity.

Gil Graham, born in Britain, is currently an advisor for the Time-Space Administration Bureau.

He has served as a fleet commander and an executive ship captain.

Many years ago, an accident occurred during the mission to recover the book of darkness, leading to the death of his subordinate—who was also Lindy Harlaown's husband—Chrono Harlaown.

This left a deep shadow in the old man's heart and was the reason Gil Graham came up with the plan to seal the book of darkness along with its host at the end of time.

Although Rias did not state her uncle's true objective, only revealing his identity and past experiences, Yagami Hayate already had her own suspicions.

Unlike the original story where the book of darkness incident was resolved and a grown-up Yagami Hayate forgave Gil Graham...

The current Yagami Hayate already has someone new to rely on. Regarding that uncle with ulterior motives, she feels both heartache and a desire to escape.

That is why she didn't think too deeply about Gil Graham's affairs.

Thinking carefully, Gil Graham rarely saw her, and was even busy with work on Yagami Hayate's birthdays.

But was he really that busy?

Clearly, the more Gil Graham realized Yagami Hayate's strength, the more guilt he felt.

Because of this, Gil Graham simply didn't have the face to see Yagami Hayate.

So without thinking much more, Yagami Hayate hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Rias's invitation.

Wrapping the house in her Small Universe, with a single thought, Rias brought the entire building back to the High School DxD world.

"Fate-chan, I wonder how she is now..."

On the other side, Nanoha was resting her chin on her hand, watching the sunset slowly fade.

At this moment, she was worried about her good friend.

Even though Lindy Harlaown had guaranteed that Fate would be fine, Nanoha still felt anxious.

After all, Fate had violated the laws of the Time-Space Administration Bureau; this kind of waiting time is exceptionally nerve-wracking.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

While Nanoha was worrying, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind; it was Telepathy.

"Aunt Lindy?"

Hearing the voice, Nanoha said with some surprise.

"It's me."

Lindy Harlaown's voice sounded.

"Um, since Aunt Lindy is contacting me, is there a result regarding Fate?"

Nanoha asked joyfully.

"About that... I'm sorry."

Lindy Harlaown said apologetically, "Actually... Fate has disappeared from the Time-Space Administration Bureau. I'm afraid she was taken away..."

"What?!"

Nanoha suddenly cried out in shock.

"Yes. I came this time to ask you if Fate has appeared on Earth."

"We are almost there. If possible, let's talk face-to-face later."

Lindy Harlaown said.

"Okay, I understand."

Nanoha's expression was serious, and just as she was about to say something, the Telepathy was suddenly cut off.

At this moment, in the Dimensional Sea near Earth, the traveling Asura suddenly emitted a red alarm.

"Warning, warning. A massive energy source has appeared near Earth. According to the data, the energy content is at 18.8 billion and is currently in an escalating eruption phase."

"20 billion, 30 billion, 50 billion... The energy source has exceeded the range of the Asura's onboard sensors."

"Over fifty billion?!"

Lindy Harlaown showed a shocked expression, her voice even cracking.

"Is this going to destroy the Earth?!!"

AAA-rank Fate has a normal mana level of 1.43 million; AAA-rank Nanoha has a normal mana level of 1.27 million.

The maximum burst value for their full firepower can reach over three times that.

The direct bombardment from Nanoha or Fate can even rival the main cannons of some battleships.

Of course, high-tech ultimate weapons like the Arc-en-Ciel are not included.

However, it's hard to say if the future Nanoha might actually be able to go head-to-head with an Arc-en-Ciel.

If it were a Transcendent like Sazeks's level, let alone a few fleets, the entire Midchilda civilization would have no power to resist.

And the power Rias displayed, according to Midchilda's data, might have already exceeded the trillion range.

And this was just her casual output.

Forget full power—this level didn't even count as a technique; it was merely the equivalent of splashing some water~

"This is bad. Given this energy source, once it erupts, I'm afraid not even our bones will remain."

"No, more than that—it will likely cause tremors in the Dimensional Sea, leading to a chain reaction. Over a dozen nearby worlds won't be spared."

Amy Limiette's hands moved across the keyboard constantly, almost becoming afterimages, yet she could not escape the impending horror.

At this moment, they truly realized just how insignificant human power was.

Time passed second by second, and soon, the Asura's warning indicators fell silent.

"Phew, we survived."

Everyone leaned back in their chairs as if exhausted, constantly feeling lucky that the energy source had not erupted.

"What on earth happened?"

Crono couldn't help but speak.

Amy glanced at Crono and then continued to manipulate the data. Soon, a marker appeared on the screen.

"Everyone, look!"

Amy cried out, drawing everyone's attention.

Then, they saw a marker appear on the world where Earth was located.

It was the mark of a pigeon—this mark was the symbol of the Alliance.

No, it wasn't just a mark; it was a space station in the shape of a pigeon!

"Could that energy source just now have been the work of an unknown civilization..."

Lindy speculated, "Like a Pigeon Civilization or something..."

"Maybe it's to occupy Earth?"

Crono frowned. "Strange, what is there on Earth worth occupying?"

"Do you think the civilization occupying Earth might be related to the person who took Fate?"

Suddenly, Amy spoke up.

"No way..."

The group fell into silence.

Amy was truly sharp; the bold judgments she occasionally made often turned out to be the truth.

Although she didn't have strong mana talent, she was undoubtedly a genius in terms of data.

And this girl later became Crono's wife.

"I hope nothing goes wrong, Nanoha-chan, Fate-chan..."

Lindy took a deep breath and said, "Report what happened next. That is no longer something we can handle."

Not long after the space station appeared outside Earth, Rias, Yagami Hayate, and Hayate's home were entirely moved away.

At the same time, as the energy source vanished, Nanoha was also taken to the High School DxD world~
