The Red Owl couldn't make it to the designated return coordinates, Tikan, in one jump.
Originally, Red Owl and Mort were not affected by chaos particles, but the chaos of Rosa that covered Kalon was so thick that it exceeded their threshold.
It had crash-landed multiple times in unnamed forests, seas, and islands. The Red Owl's body was corroded with chaos, and every time it attempted a space jump, the power source emitted an uneasy noise.
‘According to the manual, there's a high probability that we'll eventually reach the designated coordinates as long as the power core and the cockpit aren't completely destroyed... but...’
The problem was Talaris. Heat like fire was surging from her unconscious body. The engine was unstable, and the backflow reaction was so severe that it sometimes causing her aura to be released at random.
She needs to be treated as soon as possible. Jin wanted to send Talaris first to the healers on Shuri. However, even Shuri had to wander for a long time to find her way from current location.
Jin had no choice but to continue attempting space jumps, hoping to either land near the Holy land or make it to Tikan.
The ship made five space jumps but all were failures. The red owl kept falling on the wrong ground. However, it was clear that they were moving away from Huphester, and the chaos sticking to the hull was falling off with each jump, and the power source was becoming more stable. It felt like they would arrive at Tikan soon if they kept going like this.
Just as he was about to press the button in the center of the cockpit again, Jin heard a familiar voice out of nowhere.
(Eh, Jin!?)
It was Lingling's voice. It was very faint, but it was definitely Lingling.
“…… Lingling!?”
Jin looked around as if possessed by ghost at the moment. Naturally, he couldn't see Lingling anywhere.
But it wasn't just Lingling's voice that he could hear.
(What, why are you suddenly came in my head!? No, more than that, can you hear my voice?)
“I hear you. Can you hear me too?”
(Uh, I feel sick!)
(What, Brother Jin!?)
(Brother Jin!? Didn't Brother Kaio just get summoned?)
(Where is Jin!? Lingling, are you really talking to Jin right now?)
(How am I supposed to explain this? Suddenly, the image of that idiot came into my mind, and I heard his voice. He was babbling while pressing some button. There's a white-haired human lying next to him.)
(Button? Babbling? Someone lying down? Is Jin in danger?)
“Brethren! Can’t you hear my voice?”
(Can't you hear that voice?)
(Are you playing a prank, Lingling?)
(Ah, this is frustrating! I'm telling the truth! Jin can hear your voices.)
For a few seconds, there was confusion and mixed messages between Jin, Lingling, and the Plutonian.
Jin could hear everyone's voices, but it seems Laprarosa didn't able to hear him.
(Brethren, Lingling is not joking. He really is listening to Brother Jin's voice.)
(Ohh. What is it, Sister battle god!)
Since Vahn was in a state of connection with Lingling, she immediately recognized the situation.
(It seems that there's some kind of resonance between Jin and Lingling for some reason. Lingling, please relay Jin's message to us. Jin, what about outside? You summoned brother 10th battle king, was there anything you couldn't handle?)
Jin briefly explained what had happened in the Garden of Swords.
(The human world is turning into hell. It would be great if we could go outside right away to help our brother.)
"You've already helped enough, sister battle god."
(Still, seeing that Laprarosa and human world are suddenly connected, I think the day we will go out is not too far away.)
Wavelength-tracking synchronous spatial-jump.
Jin suspected that this sudden "connection" had something to do with it.
“Probably because of the flying ship that my comrade built. It seems like the flying ship accidentally caught the wavelength of Laprarosa.”
His speculation was correct. The reason the red owl caught Laprarosa’s wavelength was a kind of error.
(First of all, I heard that your comrade’s condition is critical. If it is a white-haired person, he may be Talaris Endorma, who has saved you many times, brother.)
"Yes, the internal injuries are serious."
(Close your eyes, try to concentrate. Maybe I can help her through Lingling and you, brother.)
Vahn’s words were no different. She is to trying to battle god fusion. Jin immediately closed his eyes and focused on the point of synchronisation with Lingling.
Then, as it happened in Laprarosa, Jin felt his illuminating heart lightened up and he could feel Vahn’s senses and energy gradually being transmitted.
‘It's a little weaker than when I did it in Laprarosa …… but battle god fusion is clearly achieved...…!’
Perhaps because of the dimensional distance between human world and Laprarosa, the sense of Vahn was not completely conveyed. But that alone was enough to examine Talaris' condition.
(Her lower abdomen and blood vessels are both damaged. The ability with the attribute of cold energy is preventing the worst situation. However, at this rate, she will reached her limit within an hour or two.)
"If that happens…….”
(She may not die, but she will no longer be able to generate the same level of power as before.)
Until they entered battle god fusion, Jin could only assume that the situation was not that serious, but now Jin could accurately perceive what Vahn was feeling.
(Follow my senses and infuse power into her body. We will erase the cold energy that seems to be cut off at any moment and fill her with thunderbolts.)
Jin followed Vahn’s words and placed his hand on Talaris' back. Through the tangled blood vessels, Jin's energy slowly dug into her injuries.
Even though it was only for a moment, Jin was sweating. While unconscious, Talalis spat out black blood clots, and Jin felt like he was walking on a tightrope over her life. But Jin believed in Vahn. Unlike his anxious self, he didn't feel the slightest worry inside Vahn.
“Huh…….”
Eventually, the feverish heat that was melting her whole body subsided, and Talalis let out a warm breath.
Although Talalis had not regained consciousness, she now appeared to be sleeping peacefully.
(All right. But, Brother Jin, this is a short time measure. You must start full-scale treatment within at least three days.)
“Okay, sister battle god!”
Jin wanted to spend more time with his brethren, but the situation didn't allow for it. Jin had to try space jumping again. Fortunately, he passed the hurdle of Talaris, but it was never safe until he returned to Tikan.
Even after their return, there would be problems. The power that Rosa Runcandel possessed, which he had experienced firsthand, overwhelmed all other major forces.
Jin had to hurry up and inform his comrades about this fact and prepare for the future.
Maybe he should decided to move entire Tikan. If the current Runcandel immediately started pursuing Tikan with all its might, Jin and his comrades would have no way of stopping it.
This was not only true for Tikan, but for all other major forces as well. No matter how powerful their hidden forces might be, they didn't seem to be able to overcome Rosa's Runcandel. They had already brought a fleet close to their strength, but got defeated.
Jin had not witnessed the battle until the end, but he could not imagine that Rosa would lose.
“Brethren, Lingling. I'll just go. As soon as I return, I will find out about this coincidence. As the sister battle said, this coincidence seems to be a big clue for the brethren to come out.”
The frequency of their fusion was decreasing. Vahn was gaining strength before Jin could cancel it.
(Go, Brother Jin. I'll wait for the day when we can get in touch again.)
(Hmph, go away quickly! Don't get squeezed somewhere else.)
After saying goodbye to his brethren, Jin pressed the button on the red owl again.

February 27, 1803.
It took two more days for Jin to arrive in Tikan.
He made ten or so space jumps since he calmed Talaris' internal wounds, but he was never connected to Laprarosa again.
Talaris was evacuated to the Holy Land as soon as they arrive, and Jin received information collected by his other comrades.
Fortunately. After that day, Runcandel had yet to send troops outside.
“We not sure if they're not sending out troops or if they can't."
“I think it would be the latter. Runcandel needs time to recover its strength, and more importantly, they would have paid a terrible price for using that much power."
“I think so too, young master. However, there are reports that more than half of the Huphester Alliance, including the Garden of Swords and the city of Kalon, have been swallowed up by chaos. It happened in just two days... between the time when you escaped and now."
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire continent of Huphester was being engulfed by chaos. That much erosion had occurred in just two days.
It was impossible to check the internal situation at all. Even the land that had not yet been encroached on was not in a state where they could enter.
“Perhaps, the Garden of Swords intends to conquer the world in this way. If the world is completely engulfed in chaos, there would be no need to pursue us or any other force..."
Zipfel and Kinzelo. They continued their all-out attack after Jin's escape, but eventually decided to retreat, having suffered significant losses.
“According to the report received at noon today, only three Zipfel flying ships appeared over the territorial waters of the Lutero Magic Federation.”
"If that's true, then we've lost half of the 6 Fleets. Has there been any confirmation regarding Kinzelo?"
“Yes, but there have been no reports of a retreat from any expected route. It is assumed that they retreated through Orgal's ability. If so, the situation is likely to be better than Zipfel.”
Unlike Jin, his comrades understood the situation just from the reports of Seven-Colored peacock after the battle.
All of the reports were shocking. No one expected Runcandel to achieve victory against Jin and the other forces. Furthermore, Rosa Runcandel was no longer acting patriarch. She had announced to the world that she was now Runcandel’s "patriarch" as soon as the enemy began to retreat.
First of all, it was necessary to meet the leaders of Zipfel and Kinzelo.
“The two major forces will contact us soon. They probably think the same as me. Please let me know immediately.”
“I understand, my lord.”
"And what about the knights who escaped... have there been any updates?"
The knights who resisted Rosa until the end. In the midst of their anxiety over whether knights were alive or dead, Jet burst into the conference room.
"My lord! The survival of the knights rescued by lord has been confirmed...! Miss Cuicantelle herself is now going to escort them!"
Jin closed his eyes, wiping his chest. If they had all died, there would be very few people left in the world who could be called Runcandel.
