Read chapter 39 of Arc of the Souls by Noyr on NovelPedia.

After a long, boring voyage, Jumkou finally arrived at the atmosphere of the most popular planet in the Solar System: Earth. It took about a week to reach Earth from Testharia all the way. The total distance was about 4 light-years. Humanity's technology, or better yet, Testharian technology is so ahead of it's time that people can travel a million times faster than the speed of light, completely disproving Einstein's... "Theory of Relativity". With the Soul, anything is possible. - Jumy, after 7 days, 8 hours, 39 minutes and 24 seconds, counting... you've arrived at Earth. - "... Hm? Oh, finally!" Like that, Jumkou jumped out of her seat and immediately focused on the view below. This was the first time she saw her home planet... inhabited. She will never forget the barren wasteland Earth would become if she failed her mission. This was everything for her. For her, it was like the first time doing this mission, but it felt like she has done this a million times. It was clear that the memories she held in the numerous time loops that she has done, doesn't follow suit in her brain. Which would explain the amnesiac episode she had when she woke up on Sachiel's rescue ship. However, it was frankly, so easy to remember them. "... Nasse, do you think you can check if Flynnigan Shotaro lives in Ainzite City?" - Certainly. Checking Flynnigan Shotaro's latest location. Analyzing Soul-Residue, emitting Soul detecting frequency waves with a diameter of 2000 kilometres... Analyzing Soul-Trail... I am sorry, I cannot track Flynnigan Shotaro's Soul and it's Soul-Residue. - Due to Flynnigan not having a form of power, there would be no trace of him relating to Soul-Residue. This doesn't explain how he got such a huge surge of power. Surely, he has some form of power. Some powers are innately dormant and need incentives to bring about those powers. In Flynnigan's instance, this power was unlocked in a near-death situation and exacerbated by the destruction of his village. A powerful incentive to bring forth his power. How will Jumkou even find Flynnigan if the same power is dormant? If there is no Soul-Aura, Residue or anything else to detect, then it would be like finding a needle in a warehouse of haystack. "Damn... I figured. I was suspecting him to not really be anything huge." Jumkou brainstormed ideas, as she stared outside the window. The beautiful view of Earth. It was like the view she would see everyday, and she knew exactly what would happen. And then, something clicked. She'd think back to Kaioshun's attack, thinking about power surges and how that could help her. "Hm... Can you trace any Soul-Residue spikes around the planet?" Remembering her events back in Testharia, when Kaioshun mentioned about Flynnigan's power surge and how everybody felt it. While Sachiel and Kaioshun were fighting, Jumkou was eavesdropping. Her reset point was way before when she decided to scare Sachiel and meet him again. .:. "Sachiel Eria. I will tell you this now... Even if you do not care about anything that comes out of my mouth. There is an uprising of power. We all felt it. Incidentally, all of it correlates to Flynnigan Shotaro. Do you understand what I am getting it? That Flynnigan Shotaro is going to be so incredibly powerful that he will plunge the galaxy in darkness. He will be the Coming, I want to stop him from being the one that brings the apocalypse. Let me go and I'll make sure that never happens!" .:. So much vigor, life into what he said, all to persuade Sachiel to let him go, and create more destruction. Kaioshun's plan isn't just to destroy Flynnigan Shotaro, but to retain the future and prevent Jumkou from changing anything. The thought would sadden her for a bit, before hearing Nasse speaking again. - Tracing Soul-Residue spikes on Earth over the past month. - Nasse's recalculation took about a minute. - There have been 3 Soul-Residue spikes over the course of this month and previous. One has a recorded Soul-Energy level of 8 milli
