Dominus tried to feel his entire body for a good 10 minutes after Zagaroth brought him back to his room.
The sensations he had were very different from what it seemed on the outside, and that not only left him week physically, but the coordination between his movements and thoughts was distorted, which showed him that he was for the first time in his life truly injured. Just by making several steps in that underground facility and his room left him almost powerless.
If someone attacked him, maybe he would be able to retaliate using 'blood as Universe' technique, but he would have to do it without thinking or directing his abilities. Because who knew where he would send them, just attacking using a wide range of attacks would be more beneficial and would require less thought from him.
Dominus stopped whatever he was doing and went back to sleep. Losing several more humans in this time frame would make him feel pain, but if he tried to keep an eye on everything now when his soul was in tremendous pain would force him to slumber even more.
Dominus, of course, couldn't allow fate to take anyone he didn't want it to take, so every time world AI told him that someone died because a car hit them or fell off the roof or whatever, he would erase that moment tell the world AI, who would assist these humans and save their lives, only thing Dominus couldn't prevent was that forceful evolution, but that problem would only take one life the person affected the rest in the vicinity would be saved. Unlike when he had to wholeheartedly concentrate on the creation that gave fate the ability to take tens of thousands of lives without his permission.
......….
"Papa, wake up, wake up it's getting uptime I wanna go to school." little girl of age six ran into his parent's room and started shaking her father. She looked of Japanese descent but mixed with eastern europian looks, her lovely ponytail; immature oval face created a beautiful and cute sight. Listening to her smooth adorable voice would melt anyone's heart.
"Whats is it… give me a second. Let me see the time, okay, stop pushing me.." the man lazily opened his eyes and reached for his morgol addition triple secured watch that transmitted him the hour of the day without him even looking at it. However, because of old habits, the middle-aged man still looked at the timestamp, "oh, it's only 7 o'clock, school starts at 9, child get in the bad, let daddy hug you."
"No, papa, get up, get up, let's prepare, and go already. I want to be early. We will be late, and everyone's going to be there before us, don't embarrass me."
"What time we live in, my daughter wants to go to school more than me... ai, ai it hurts." The man screamed because his wife pinched him from the side.
"Alright, get up, today's a very important day for her. We should make her happy, don't be lazy, or she will be angry at you."
The man sighed and swiftly got up. He looked quite fit at 36 years old, fit muscles, quite handsome face, the average height of 173 centimeters, and calm pool-like eyes.
He picked up his daughter and went to the kitchen where he sat her down before the screen wanting to leave her so he could wash up, but before he could do so, what he saw on the screen shocked him. A terrifying creature twenty meters in height was rampaging before his eyes, destroying everything in its path, trees were uprooted, boulders were getting smashed, and the path was getting cleared extremely quickly towards the village nearby, multiple small oval-shaped floating cameras were capturing everything in sight and allowing the people to watch everything.
More than ten humans in striking bright red clothing attacked this creature with devastating attacks. Blood red trails crisscrossed each other in glaring fashion, slashing and hacking at the rampaging monster.
Everything around the monster was covered in blood, and soon it was enveloped completely, eradicated from the face of this planet. The blood that covered the sky shrank and dried up. The only thing left was the path of destruction caused by the monster before its demolition.
Tanamoto Eisuke couldn't help but sigh. Humans always knew how powerful morgols were when they had to play certain educational virtual reality games, but seeing everything that happened this past two weeks, in reality, left him overwhelmed. Possessing something inside perfectly created game was great, but when it was a real deal in the real-world, the feeling was absolutely different.
Now he truly understood why so many people wanted to join the morgols and become the chosen. Eisuke silently looked at his hands and remembered the time he wanted to possess abilities just like he had in those virtual reality games.
Seeing morgols soaring and performing air glide and high-speed maneuvers, killing such a massive, powerful monster in a matter of minutes arose his desire to rejoin the virtual world right now, but his daughter's voice stopped his thought immediately when she said, "Daddy, why are you so slow this days we see such occurrences every minute go clean up and cook me something nice."
Eisuke squinted his eyebrows and said, "you little rascal, there is no reason to call your dad out. Weren't you the one whos eye glowed just now watching your favorite Karol Morgol? Huh."
"One day I will become as strong as her, just watch me! today I will prove myself." she clenched her tiny fist tightly
Seeing his daughter's determination, Eisuke was amused, "such a good time to be born as a child. Although these past two weeks have been unsettling, Morgols are handling everything as they should. Maybe there's nothing to worry about since 'world banquet' will commence as scheduled."
Eisuke cleaned his face, brushed his teeth, and dressed up as quickly as he could and cooked just like Sui demanded today. His wife Natali had a rest day, and as he was the teacher that taught his daughter, he had to take care of her, himself.
Maybe today's events were not a big deal for him, but it sure was a world opening for every first grader.
Sui munched on her food as fast as she could, looking adorable with little bits of food stains on the corner of her lips.
Eisuke was distressed. His refined Sui behaved like a cave lady today.
"let's go, daddy, hurry up." Sui jumped from the table and ran outside.
Eisuke looked at the plates and thought, "let Natali take care of the dishes."
He ran just behind Sui, helped her go up the car, tightened her seatbelt sat on a wheel, and draw away to 47th primary school of tarnask city in Morgol continent. On the way, he just, as usual, listened to the radio, Sui, on the other hand, was listening to the music on the back seat quietly.
"Reporting, six hundred cases have been recorded yesterday of confrontation between Morgols and the monsters, humanity has up to this point not lost a single living being to them, but in these weeks we have an unprecedented number of deaths. If the report is correct more than six hundred thousand, which makes people a little bit upset about not knowing what's happening."
The host continued in a heavy tone, "ten years, for ten years, humanity has no recorded deaths, such a thing in a fast-growing society like ours was an absolute miracle, but we accepted it. the world AI proved to be miraculous and seemingly all-knowing, mister James one of the outer members of the morgols has joined us today and will answer our questions."
"Thank you for having me here. I will answer all your questions as truthfully as I can as it seems that people have some doubts about world AI messages."
The host looked at James sitting opposite him, and calmly said: "Mr. James, people have the right to be suspicious. We think that there is something wrong with world AI. Up until two weeks ago, world AI-assisted us with saving the lives of many people without failures, but as we see, many have started to die by unnatural causes, people are concerned is fate catching up to us! Mr. James!"
This question of the host was itself quite interesting. In these years, the level of humanity's rise has been so miraculous and shocking in every possible way that just five years ago, humanity was at its peak of a golden age, but now everyone already called this the era of brilliancy, absolute dominance of humankind! Complete domination of the solar system, and unprecedented expansion, the fearful alien races, rise of every human on a personal level.
Each individual's IQ has increased by ten at the minimum in some cases, even thirty.
Every living human from earth received unprecedented guidance, some mandatory by Dominus Morgol himself through virtual realities. Inadvertently and inevitably forcing humanity to become smarter, more understanding, more collectively cognizant.
If you stopped a random human in any country and asked them random questions, they would be able to answer it without much thought, and they would 90% of the time answer it correctly if you gave them challenging puzzles, they would quickly solve them and so on.
Of course, IQ was not the only factor that contributed, but the ability to increase a person's IQ, not on the pathetic amount of individuals, but humanity as a whole, showed something magnificent.
James sat there, contemplating the answer to the host's question. He looked solemn.
"Let me tell you something about me first, Magnus. Fifteen years ago, I had a terrible accident, which led to the death of my parents and me losing three out of five senses, hearing, sight, and sense of smell. Everyone thought that I was destined to die, but even though I lost my beloved parents and everything with it. I continued to struggle
desperately, clutching onto hope."
James, at this moment even teared up a little, but he continued, "for five years I lived in absolute misery and suffering, every day was like a nightmare from which I thought I would never wake up, and when I was forgotten by everyone at the lowest point in my life morgols publicly took over the world they started to send miraculous medications for free to every human, every one of us received exactly what we needed to cure our disabilities."
"but what surprised me was not this miraculous medication that cured me and saved me from the darkness that I was about to embrace, but the letter that was with the serum."
James wiped the tear and smiled, "the letter said to me, 'everyday fate takes someone's life for no reason. Some people would want to believe that every accidental, seemingly coincidental death is the decree of fate, and it had its purpose, but that is not true. Fate is even crueler than anyone can ever imagine. Fate left you, James, in suffering that was far worse than death. You thought that there was a reason you survived. You held onto it as long as you could, you James fed it, and it consumed you completely until you reached the point where you wanted to commit suicide. Then your life would come to an end; it would not affect anyone or anything. You would simply die, defeated, and used by fate, but I said fuck that!! James doesn't deserve this, so I gave you an opportunity to become the defier of fate, ones a defier always a defier. Remember this, by resisting it tortured you, but in the end, you won! James, in this life, you are already a winner! Your life is yours; never give up! Dominus morgol!!' can you imagine what those words meant to me." James laughed, "I thought no one cared about me anymore. I thought my struggles and attempts were futile, but I got saved receiving the title of 'defier,' and aren't many fellow humans also defiers. If we all, with our wise leader's assistance, defy fate, so what if it counter-attacks and tries to destroy us? We can all rile up and not succumb to fear. Fear cant save us, and it won't help us. Just wait until the 'world banquet' supreme leader will answer all our questions about occurring deaths, tragedies, and unpredictable occurrences."
Magnus, the host, was a little speechless hearing James story and profound words, "we inadvertently have become defiers, fascinating indeed! so why should we fear if fate is trying to take measures, we should resist without fear only then will all the kindness received be repaid in full!"
James laughed, "no, no, no… Magnus, you didn't get me correctly. There is no need to repay anything to anyone. It's just, do not fear the fate live how you lived, only without the fear that fate will somehow take revenge on you will you be of help to yourself. It's impossible to prevent all the deaths, so people should not delve on every death."
"if your relative died, mourn them, bury or cremate them. Whatever you prefer, death for mortals is inevitable! just because out of 29 billion people, several hundred thousand people died in two weeks doesn't mean it's the world end. If you want to know, millions were born in that time frame. I understand certain individuals would ask many questions, but those mandatory virtual realities are not for entertainment but for experience and essential knowledge that should give you a simple understanding of many things, including the ability to face obstacles calmly. Nor you nor I truly know how fate works, and since we are assisted, we should enjoy it, but because its gone doesn't mean we should become helpless chickens."
Magnus didn't like the words said by James completely, but at least he could understand somehow what he wanted to say.
Magnus no longer asked any more profound questions and tried to localize it by asking, what were the further actions of Morgols and governments to prevent accidents and minimize the losses to properties.
Eisuke, who was silently listening, got a bit distracted because he, from the corner of his eye, saw something bizarre jumping towards the car, right where his daughter was listening to music.
Time seemed to slow down for Eisuke. The shock came instantly. This bizarre creature was about to strike the window of the car, of course, it was reinforced, but that wouldn't help, his daughter would meet her death along with him, and he could do nothing but watch as it all happened in terror.
But before this bizarre one meter long monster with terrifying speed managed to crash into the car, a fist coated in blood descended from above, smashing directly at its head, stumping the pavement with its body and caving everything around them for dozens of meters. The car where Eisuke and his daughter were in got flipped up due to impact, but before it could crash, red strings appeared and allowed it to gently descend without much damage. The seatbelts held the child tightly, so no harm came to her, not only that the car made sure she didn't feel anything.
Eisuke jumped from the car to see what happened and what he saw made him sigh in relief. The monster that was ugly with multiple bladed protrusions and bloody razor-sharp fangs with a long tail was destroyed. The innards were all over the place. Fortunately, the car window blurred for the child so she couldn't see anything.
Eisuke soon witnessed quite a show. The man who crushed the monster with one punch extended his hand from which terrifying amount of blood came out that formed a bloody vortex around the beast, completely enveloping it, after which this vortex consumed the monster and cleaned any trail of its existence.
The bloody vortex turned into a steady stream after it was done with its job and quickly returned to that person's body, leaving nothing behind.
The man gently looked at Eisuke, nodded at him, and left.
Soon a woman came from behind, patted Eisuke on the shoulder, and said: "your name is Eisuke. You work as a teacher if I remember, don't worry about what happened just now everything's resolved, today's an important day for children you can move on, but if you need some help, you can tell me."
Seeing this woman, Eisuke was shocked she was gorgeous and extremely attractive, making his throat dry for a second.
"Hey, you, your married, don't have any weird thoughts, or I will tell your wife," the woman gently laughed.
Hearing her laughter, Eisuke blushed slightly, "haha, I sorry it's just, I am in shock that we were so close too… to death."
"in another world, you would have died, but hear it wasn't even close, let's stop the chit-chat you have somewhere to be, also tell your daughter the truth there is no need to lie to her, farewell Eisuke." She disappeared extremely quickly, making Eisuke tong-tied.
Soon the road would be fixed, and nothing would be left from the incident. Eisuke returned to his car, sat on a wheel comfortably, and draw away as if nothing happened. He looked back to check on his daughter when he saw how gently she was looking at him, "there is no need to be so nervous, daddy I understand everything, today's a big day, so good uncles and aunts protected me, hehe."
Eisuke was momentarily left speechless, "kids these days too smart! at least pretend to be scared, Jesus how much potential this generation has."
In fifteen minutes, they would reach the school. A long day awaited him.
