(Three Months Later, Planet Satoru, Leo's POV)
The three months following the Emergency Gods Summit passed in a strangely calm yet dangerous manner, as although war continued spreading steadily across the universe, the large-scale retaliation that Leo eventually expected from the Righteous Alliance never truly arrived.
As despite nearly five months passing since Yu Kiro's death, there were no major actions that were taken by the enemy.
Instead, the Cult continued expanding almost methodically.
One planet, then another, then one more after that.
At a pace of roughly one conquered world per month, the Cult steadily pushed deeper into Righteous Alliance territory while resistance remained surprisingly disorganized compared to what Leo originally anticipated.
However, although their territorial expansion proceeded smoothly on the surface, the pressure surrounding Yu Kiro's disappearance only continued growing heavier with each passing week.
