The system waited for a moment before replying:

'I sensed the death energy flow towards the depth of the ground. You must note that this bomb of yours must be in touch with your hand all the time. 

Once you let it go, it won't explode but it will absorb the energy of that fiend madly. That might alert it.'

Ibro thought of his system warning. It made sense.

'So your meaning is that I need to keep being here and provide that bomb of my energy?'

'Yes. The moment you let go of it, you must be ready for this fiend retaliation.'

Ibro's real aim was to kill this fiend, but he wasn't sure his newly formed bomb would be enough. He asked the system to be sure:

'Do you think this bomb is enough to kill this fiend?'

'I doubt that. Although I don't know the exact destructive power your bomb had, this fiend's body is huge. It's integrated into this world. Also you must be ready if this world got destroyed with this fiend.'

Ibro understood the system's meaning. This was a huge mess he needed to solve. Ibro thought of a plan based on the worst-case scenario. The plan was very simple; he must evacuate everyone from this world. 

But to do that, he needed for Maya to return to his territory and release everyone here out. That also meant he had to do so at the last moments. When Maya moved into his territory, the demon's supply would be cut. 

That meant his energy supply to his bomb would depend entirely on him. If he cut the supply to his bomb, then the bomb would start absorbing this fiend's energy.

'That means I need to execute this evacuation plan when my bomb absorbs more energy.'

Ibro then started to contact the sword cultivator via divine sense. Although he would start to evacuate the world at a later date, the process of evacuation needed a long time of preparations. 

'My king, how may I help you?'

'Listen to me well. This world will face great calamity soon. I need you to inform Maya about what I'm going to tell you now. I want you to spread the word and gather all the world's cultivators. 

Make them be ready to be evacuated from this world at any given notice. I can delay this calamity for now, but I need Maya to keep sending all the demons she can find to here.'

The sword cultivator startled before he asked in doubt:

'Are you sure? I mean, my king, this world had lasted for a long time already.'

Ibro sighed. He wouldn't tell this simple cultivator about such horrible facts.

'Don't doubt my orders. I want you to do what I told you about. Anyone refused to obey my orders; I won't be responsible for his death later on. I won't save anyone who disobeyed me. Execute my orders now.'

That poor sword cultivator shivered from Ibro's tone. Ibro resolved to make threats to make everyone here obey him. Any loss here would be his loss, too. After that, Ibro began to work. 

He didn't use his ultimatum energy again, as he didn't want to kill these demons rapidly. He tried to balance his killing speed with the demon influx to here and his bomb consumption.

'My king, my lady Maya wanted to speak with you.'

Ibro sighed. He couldn't tell anyone about the existence of this fiend, but not Maya. She had the right to know. It was her body after all. Ibro then asked:

'How can I speak with her?'

'She will send a wisp of her divine sense to connect with yours. Through this wisp, you can talk with each other, my king.'

Ibro understood the general meaning of this cultivator. He then asked:

'How is the evacuation preparation going?'

'I have already conveyed your orders, my king. We need approximately one week to finish our preparations.'

Ibro thought for a bit. One week was enough time to strengthen his bomb. He agreed on this time frame.

'So be it. After one week you must be ready to be transported from here.'

Ibro knew one week here was equal to nearly one day in the outside world. One day wasn't enough for Maya to bring all the demons she could find to him then retreat to his territory. 

He postponed thinking about this dilemma until he talked with her. Ibro's wait had longed a little over 5 hours for Maya to reach out for him. Throughout this time, he never stopped fighting. 

The connection started as that sword cultivator described. Ibro felt a long hair descended from the sky to touch his divine sense. 

This was Maya's divine sense. Once it connected with Ibro's divine sense, he heard her sweet voice saying anxiously:

'Can you hear me, my king?'

'Yes, how is the situation like at your end?'

Maya's reply was delayed for a few minutes before it reached Ibro:

'It's good up here. There is no threat to me so far. I'm roaming the whole world. Demons here had increased in number significantly. Your empire is holding up brilliantly so far. There were many people who joined your empire day after day. I heard what you told Foris, what is the story exactly?'

Ibro was expecting all of these changes. After his failure to control the situation over the whole world, then it was logical for the demons to invade it in huge numbers. 

That would create more miseries. This was helpful to him, though, as players would never serve him except under dire situations like these. 

Ibro then took a deep breath as he started to explain the conditions he selected to her:

'First of all, I want you to know that what I'm doing is for your best interest. Keep what I'm going to tell you secret. 

Don't even tell your system about it, or talk loudly. Do exactly as I will order you. If you agree with all of my conditions, then I will tell you everything. If not, then I won't tell you a thing.'
