"Well, they had a little bit weird off an exchange there, what's wrong with them," Mirian asked, scratching his head.
Dominus couldn't help but laugh again, "Lui was killed previously by Peyton sneakily without mercy, so he wants to take revenge…. In bed."
"Oh I wonder who will win this time, can you tell me, my good nephew, I want to know."
Dominus looked at Mirian who was walking beside him and wanted to kill him then and there, but decided to restrain his urges, "uncle shut up! You clearly know I never follow on things I should not be seeing and people's sexual lives are included, The only time I make an exception is when I know something isn't right either with the person or the situation. Otherwise, I try not to watch."
"Mirian enough," Maria berated him sternly.
Mirian smiled nonchalantly, "I am just curious that's all. I meant no offence, hehe."
After a bit of walking the family reached the teleportation node, Dominus already said that he wouldn't be using rings energy to do anything and Zagaroth was too lazy to warp them. Hence they walked a bit of distance, food, and drinks would be prepared in the meantime upstairs on the 2999 floor.
The entire family one by one, silently warped to the upper floor.
Dominus was the last to walk out of the fixed node.
The last ten floors of Morgol tower from 2989 and 2999 would be subject to redecoration by the top rising designers and architects as their reward for there creativity and rise in their field.
Such a reward was an extreme honour and guaranteed fame.
When Dominus entered, he was pleasantly surprised.
The area of the room was six hundred square meters. The decorations were so neatly distributed that it caught the eye instantly, surprisingly even though the area was densely packed with furniture one would not feel overwhelmed and cramped the colours that were used, were mostly: black, purple, silver, and blue.
The higher the floor in the Morgol tower, the less space was available, but still, it was more than enough for a creative mind to create something unique.
The room was mostly circular, and exactly in the centre, one would see a round table decorated with stalaite and rinit stones bought from another planet.
Mostly everything in the Morgol tower was decorated from the available resources from other planets nobody knew why dominus prohibited the usage of earth resources on anything related to the tower, but who dared to question him, so they went along with it.
The table was carved from wood extracted from the planet Melleon located six hundred thousand light-years away from earth, from a hundred million-year-old oak tree.
The wood had a calming effect and smelled extremely nice, making the once who sat near it feel the urge to enjoy their food even if they didn't want to.
On this round table, multiple dishes were being served by slender looking tall tree creatures, that had some resemblance to humans, in facial features, but were mostly unique because their gazes were wooden and stale, they had only one eye at the centre slightly sunken, there arms and legs were created from tree branches and leaves.
Maybe they had two legs from branches, but they had sixteen arms weaved from leaves, they could easily unite these arms and create two full ones resembling anything they wanted.
It was also nice to mention that they were two and a half meters tall, were extremely kind, exuding great aroma from there bodies, and loved to cook and serve.
Yes! They loved to serve! Even though they were intelligent life forms with thoughts of their own, they were primitive in thinking and one-track-minded, they had no ambitions, and weren't greedy, one of the most peaceful races Dominus had ever seen. These pure creatures would only protect themselves if there creator oak tree were threatened; otherwise, they were lambs for slaughter.
The moment Dominus found this race, they were long ago enslaved by one of the super civilization known as the Durogordum race. They killed and did whatever they wanted to this pure race, woking them till all the leaves fell of them, till all the branches withered.
Until Dominus felt pity for them and decided to act and free them, forcing the Durogordum race to relent and retreat, by destroying one of the nearby uninhabited satellite planets near the Durogordum planet itself.
Of course, one could imagine the race didn't like there rule threatened, but seeing Zagaroth bypass their defences as if they were nothing and with one claw swipe annihilate the planet near there home planet, they already knew power exceeding them loomed over there heads.
Then Dominus found what this race loved the most other than serving others, and that was surprisingly cooking. After negotiations and explanations he gave this race his protection, once a year, only for a day, they would serve humans wholeheartedly in return they would be satisfied and fulfilled.
Unfortunately, Dominus didn't find a way to change this race's innate nature, and once, he concluded there was no need to. If the Durogordum race didn't interfere, this race would live happily and in peace on their large planet.
Also, in exchange for there services, others could hire them and pay with a special currency that dominus created for them.
This currency that he created for them would be beneficial for there planet.
So that was why the oak race was serving dishes today for dominus and his family.
The family, after appreciating the design of the environment, silently went and sat on a circular table; every dish was perfect. This oak race, even tho, one would say they belonged to wood race, had mighty resistance towards the fire. They could withstand the heat the normal humans couldn't even dream of, all because of their regenerative abilities, innately given by the oak tree, on their planet, that mightily resisted fire attribute since creation.
"I Niu will be serving mighty lords today. My assistant will be Lou, please ask anything you desire we will try to serve as best as we can." Niu's voice was extremely pleasant to listen to.
The Oak race had no gender, but when they talked there, a voice could be differentiated to male or female if the listener wanted to. That was their unique feature. Even though their speech was neutral, the listener would hear the voice they associated these beings with. For example, Niu resembled a man, so his voice was of a man in Dominus's families eyes, but if Maria associated Niu with a woman, she would hear a woman's voice.
Vato took a bottle of wine and began to drink casually; he preferred drinking from the bottle.
Kaspian never liked this habit of his, but since the old man couldn't be taught manners after so many years and dominus wouldn't imprison him to teach it, he long gave up.
"Thanks, Niu," Kaspian said, "you can change the dishes and plates silently."
"As you wish," Niu tried to bow and left.
Maria overlooked the table and was surprised, "son, this food has been delivered from various other planets, we won't have native food today?"
"Nope," Dominus casually answered, "you all will enjoy the 'world banket', but I can't appear there, so we won't have time to enjoy various delicacies from other races together."
"Oh, this meat tastes godly, oh this ones great to It looks a bit weird, but the sweet taste pleases my tongue, I wish I had two hands to enjoy everything faster." Dominus laughed while eating, taking various unique dishes that came from other planets.
Dorian who was the most silent one in the family, looked at his two hands than he once again looked at dominus and was saddened, but he didn't mention anything.
The platform in the past didn't regenerate his hand, when they reached the island, it was Dominus, who helped him, and it has been a few years since he got read of his disability, now his grandson was suffering the same way, maybe he was even worse off.
"What are you all looking at, want to visit 'Prison'?!" Dominus drank ten-thousand-year-old wine gifted by a minor civilization that was surrounded by oppressors in the past, as a gesture of their appreciation.
Maria sat on the side of Dominus that head those fiery patterns moving and wriggling on his face, from time to time, so she said, "son, somehow you look extremely scary like a devil from hell, what have you done to yourself my child was there no other way?!"
Vato who was sitting on the right side of Dominus didn't assume anything looking at Dominus, "Maria as I see it he still has that perfectly sculpted face from my bloodline and he still looks like a benevolent saint to me."
Dominus, hearing their words laughed, "mother if there was another choice I would have gone a different route, my children nagging me is already enough don't add on it."
"As for you, both change sits,"
"Change sits?"
"Yep"
"Alright"
"Vato get up! give me your place."
"I, but…. Alright, whatever I sat quite comfortable in my place." Vato blabbered and switched places with Maria.
Dominus nodded, "now, this should better."
"Indeed," Maria rejoiced, "from this side, you look great."
Vato, on the other hand, grimaced a little, "indeed a little scary."
The other family members were speechless they had a full view of Dominus's face from the point where they sat, so they didn't think much, but it seemed depending on where you looked at him, his whole aura changed other than looks.
"Alright enough, let's just enjoy the food and drinks! can we!" Dominus said and continued eating.
After the prelude was over the family began to enjoy there time, joke, drink and have great fun, none of them mentioned prior happenings and just casually conversed as if nothing went down in the world, but even though they didn't others were going crazy.
Every single Morgol was going crazy preparing, moving from one corner of the world to another, the elites already in just minutes of Dominus and his family's departure sent messages to hundreds of races. They were declaring war on every single one of them saying that humanity would attack in less than a month.
They conveyed Dominus's words perfectly, all the alien civilizations received the news, and the undercurrents that were surging all along came to a halt, and everything blew up.
......
Durogordum race!! The race of highly intelligent humanoid lifeforms that were five meters tall and had for arms, they excelled in combat and were extremely brutal, like barbarians to other races, but amongst themselves, they behaved like noble human aristocrats. The race was so advanced in technology, culture, science, and everything that even with there explosive innate nature they learned to divert their bad habits onto other races the inferior ones and rise to the top of the food chain in this corner of the universe.
Someone was running with all his might towards the imperial hall of Durogordum palace where emperor Durogordum was conversing with his subordinates about relocating their resources and making amendments for their lost slave trade market.
The hall was extremely spacious and grand, so the moment someone barged in, they all turned in annoyance, but when they saw who it was no one said anything.
Duorgordum emperor that was six meters tall had four arms and buff stature, nicely mixed orange in colour skin acquainting his majestic body. He had Saphire like two eyes perfectly representing his status of supremacy because other's eyes were a little dim and cyan mostly.
The one that barged in was princess Durogordum, Abril, she looked dazzlingly beautiful for her race, she was five meters tall, slender and had long fiery purple hair, with four slender arms and towering twin peeks that acquainted her drees perfectly, but this gem of Durogordum race looked flustered and nervous.
"Father, Ministers, Adjudicators, everyone else, we received grim news just now, the human race from Earth has declared war!!"
"What the Durogordum emperor jumped up in shock, how could this happen! What did they say?!"
"Father, it's not only us but everyone. They also declared war on every single super civilization and their vassals."
"Impossible!"
"How can this be!!"
"Has that guy gone crazy he wants to destroy us all!"
Abril instantly understood what they feared, so she added, "their supreme leader won't take any action in this war nor will his ultimate creature."
When Abril mattered these words, some kind of heavy boulder was instantly lifted from their shoulders, and they all calmed down a little.
One of the Ministers than roared, "how can they have the audacity to challenge every race, coalition, and alliance in this universe, what gave them the guts, who do they think they are!"
"If it weren't for that human and that mysterious little monster, our Durogordum race would be enough to squash them thousands of times over."
All the higher-ups of the race that were here were discussing in loud voices screaming and shouting.
Durogordum emperor stood there silently listening and thinking of the past, ten years ago, puny being appeared in this same hall.
He looked, so weak, so puny, but for some reason, he managed to infiltrate the most protected place in their territory and that creature, that sat on his shoulder quietly, that didn't look much at first, appeared to be powerful enough to destroy planets with a casual swipe, he knew this perfectly because he was forcefully teleported and forced to watch as everything happened, he the emperor, wilder of all the authority one could imagine was as weak a Nustril.
His life was in another's hand, and he would never forget the warning he received that day so he restrained his race as much as he could, and now that said person's race was declaring war on everyone and those two would sit on the sidelines.
Was it possible for such a thing to happen unless someone had full confidence in their race capabilities?
Durogordum the thousandth roared, "all of you shut up!! This matter is serious: how long do we have my precious Abril?"
"We don't know, they said we had less than a month of their time, and that means we can be attacked even as we speak or maybe in two hundred hours or six hundred we don't know exactly."
Durogordum emperor squinted his sapphire like eyes and said, "mobilize every race under us, tell them to prepare with all there might do whatever they can! that Earthlings solar system can't be penetrated the tectaton race tried and was miserably defeated and had to retreat."
"From the little information, we have from there race that traverses the cosmos, they have all the locations of every natural wormhole, and they can even possible appear above our home planet without problems. I know we can't stop them, but we must prepare for every possible scenario, for the worst outcome! That guy's race will not be underestimated we will show them what physical and technological advantages we possess a race that reigned supreme for millions of years! War is coming, and we will emerge!! Victorious!! who knows maybe this will reshape the balance between the Twelve super races."
One of the Ministers suddenly said, "your majesty we have two hundred combat races that can traverse the cosmos and fight in space, but should we unite and form a coalition with others?"
"Yes, your majesty since they declared war on every race, and we know that Dominus guy would never attack innately peaceful races we can assume other than them everyone's at risk."
Durogordum thousandth thought a little and said grimly contact, "Somate race, Musoot race, Kolien race, Babote aristocrat race, Hioalaum race, and Three transformation race, the rest are too far or to antagonistic towards us."
"As you wish your majesty! Should we also inform every citizen?"
"What did they say in their declaration of war, what do they want?"
Abril shook her head and said, "they clearly said there would be no mercy!!"
Durogordum emperor was enraged, "if they want no mercy so be it we will show them no mercy! They will be annihilated from the face of existence!! I promise!"
