Chapter 72 - 840-854

Chapter 840 Speaking With An Enemy

I stood on the back of my chariot watching what my soulers were doing down below while waiting for Silverlining to come back at me.

And the first thing that happened was for my boys to discover more stones like the one Hilary stood at and read.

It was still puzzling me. Why did she go there if she was possessed with that soul? Wasn't she supposed to go towards the dome directly or what?

It didn't make quite sense. Anyway I examined the rocks my soulers kept finding, and they all were covered in such weird language.

I tried to decipher it but couldn't, even asked Lucias and he didn't recognise it.

And then another piece of news came after five hours.

[The sovereign is asking to come and see that loop pocket world himself]

And that was what Silverlining sent in return.

[Not a chance!] you wanted to come? Did that eccentric weird dude of yours tell you something important and you wanted to check if it was true or not?

Inviting such a dangerously powerful person over to my planet? I already have enough problems at hand to handle. Inviting such calamity that I don't have any control upon was a foolish mistake I wouldn't do.

[But… He is persistent about it]

[Let him know this, if he has any use from this place, I'm willing to share] If such a person placed a priority over this site, then it must have a secret or some sort of a treasure.

[He says he is just curious, what do you think?]

[I think he is trying to bluff his way to here, and I won't let anyone trespass my own home]

[But we gave you a VIP privilege to our home, don't forget that]

Suddenly a new chat window popped up and I couldn't help but roll my eyes in return.

'You are so damn impatient about getting your hands over my site,' I thought to myself before sending in return, [Are you the sovereign, the friend of Silverlining?]

[Silverlining is the one who is trying to befriend me, and yes it's me, Golane sovereign]

[Nice to meet you] he seemed quite stirred up by this site, [But as I told Silverlining, I can't grant you access to my home]

[And as I said, we gave you the same privilege as our home. Or do you want to be treated in the same way?]

[That wasn't just an act of generosity! It was in return to a grand deal. Do you want me to call all these deals off?]

[You…] he was hard to deal with, but who said I'd get scared with his harsh words and cold attitude?

If I was standing in front of him right now, then I'd end up getting terrified of his power. But we were worlds apart. Even if he threatened me, I wouldn't budge an inch off my stand.

[I never liked you from the start, do you know that?] his words started to change, showing the real colour of his face, [I voted against you in the two meetings. I don't know what that idiot here told you, but I'm one of the leaders of the force rejecting the presence of a weak and useless human in our close circle. You are nothing! Your race is just a disgrace to even get its name on my tongue!]

[Then thanks for such honesty. If you don't like me this much, then let's end this nice talk here]

[And do you think you can find answers on your own? Quite funny and admirably pathetic!]

[I can't on my own indeed, but what if I used my little bones and started a universe wide bounty task? Any info about this thing here in return for a useless green bone of mine. How many do you think will get excited and step in to help?]

[All the news about what you seek is wrong! Go ahead, and you'll get yourself ton of sh*t in no time]

[And…] I ignored his last remark, [I can give such an offer; one red bone for anyone who can give me credentialed and certified intel about this pocket world. Do you think might be aware of this?]

[Not anyone aside from my friend!]

[Indeed, but do you know that I got a link with the system higher ups?]

[What…]

[I can simply give this red bone to them, and even better… I can ask for any price they'd love to, and I'll double it!]

[You are bluffing! Not a mere useless human can reach to the skyhigh higher ups and even make a deal with them!]

[I already reached that skyhigh level before. I did a deal with them before, as I did a deal with your mighty and all powerful race in the universe. I'm not a nobody, not that useless and weak as you might think. Sorry, but you are wasting my time. I'll go and speak with those higher ups better]

[Don't you dare…]

[And… I will make sure that all the other sovereigns in the Toranks race will get to know about what you just did]

[Are you… Threatening me?!!] Well, he seemed quite shocked.

As he was so daring and arrogant enough to expose his hatred to me in such a blunt way, I had to smash that reality onto his face.

I wasn't afraid of him, not even a single bit. He might cause problems from time to time, but giving a punch in return wasn't going to change this.

He already was dead fixed on being on bad terms with me from the beginning.

And dude… You weren't the only sovereign that mattered in your race. I got support from your race, twice in a row! Even if you had few around to antagonise me, I got lots more to support my cause.

[Consider it as you like, but I'm giving you a final chance to join my side]

[Screw you! I'll find out where the heck is your home world and make sure to destroy it with my own forces!]

[Empty threats won't help you. Don't forget, I got something you desperately need]

[F*ck you!]

Chapter 841 I'm Not Going To Say!

[Half of my entrusted subordinates call me in this way, so it's not an offence actually, hahaha!] I knew he was on the verge of exploding out of anger, but that wasn't something I should worry about.

That dude needed something from me, and he knew the true value of it. It was so damn valuable that he was willing to keep chatting with me despite the irresistible urge he got to find and kill me at this moment.

[Are you sure this is wise? He isn't any better than that crazy friend of his]

And just as I waited for the response from that sovereign, Silverlining tried to give me a warning and advice.

He was such a sincere and kind person that I liked. He was loyal, and that was the second best feature of him, next to his ability to deliver what he promised in time.

[I know what I'm doing] I sent before thinking about something, [Why don't you say something to help?]

[Like what?]

[Like you got another one to help other than this sovereign]

[This… Do you want my head rolling on the ground or what? He is crazy!]

[If you don't help me solve this right now, he will come at you first. You heard him, he wants your head already]

[Damn! Ok, let me try it out]

I knew this was a risky move, but this dude must know he wasn't the only one who could help or else he wouldn't crack down and get past his hatred.

I waited for long minutes this time, while looking at the two chats opened in front of me. It took twenty minutes before that sovereign sent again.

[Do you think you are smart enough? I got your man here under my mercy. Send me the location of that pocket world or else I'll make sure you'll receive his head in the next weekend]

Oh, he was indeed crazy! [Do you think this will force my hand?]

[It will. Without him, you won't be able to get in touch with any of my race]

[You are underestimating me and the system too much, do you know that?] Of course he got a point, but not that quite right indeed.

I depended too much on Silverlining to perform everything out of late. But that didn't mean I was out of the means to contact Toranks race higher ups.

[What do you mean by that?]

[You'll soon know the answer to that]

I got a way, and it was really quite simple and easy. Yet it seemed that the sovereign stayed away from the apocalypse and its affairs for too long, to even forget about such tiny details.

Any contract provided and secured by the system would allow the two sides to get in contact with each other. So, I got the three sovereigns in the reach of my fingertips.

All I needed to do was to just open the contracts and send messages to the three sovereigns briefing them about the situation.

However, even if I got such a way, I didn't hurry to use it.

After all, the two of us were having such a fierce battle in wits. Even if what he claimed was right, and he got the neck of Silverlining under his mercy, he wasn't that insane to kill one of his race, a high on and known by many already, a hot shot at this moment.

So he was just bluffing, trying another attempt to force me to agree on his terms. And I just responded to the punch with a mighty blow by what I just said.

And in less than a few minutes, seemingly after asking around about what I just said, he changed his tone and attitude.

[You know getting at each other's necks won't get any of us any benefits. Why not talk and discuss like civilised people? Come to my place, or select a neutral place for the two of us to meet]

[Sorry, I'm kind of busy right now. If you want, we can continue speaking here]

[You… Screw you!] Another attempt of his failed. Did he think I was this stupid to accept his offer? Speak to him face to face? Damn! Just thinking about this gave me goosebumps running through my spine.

I wasn't that insane to accept such an offer indeed. And it seemed my refusal just made him more furious.

[What do you want then? Huh! To just help you without getting anything back?]

[We can have a contract at any moment] I laughed, [Like this, and under the protection of the system, you can guarantee whatever you are seeking]

[And what if what I want isn't a thing but a person?]

[What do you mean? There aren't any living people there in that pocket world!]

[No way! My friend told me that for a pocket world to appear in front of someone, that a person belonging either to the space or time clans will be there!]

This… Damn! Was this sovereign after me? I suspected that the appearance of this pocket world and even this entire Krishna world wasn't a coincidence.

It was all related to me having the same bloodline that was running in the veins of one of the time clans in the past; the angels.

[Well… I can't sign over something I have no control over] I had to find a way out of this damn deadly trap!

If I signed such a contract, and promised him that I'd deliver him the one responsible for all this, wasn't this like selling myself out to him or what?

[I only want that person, nothing else. If you can't help me then I won't help you] Damn that sovereign! Why did dealing with him turn out to be so hard?

[May I ask about the reason?]

[What for? As if you will understand it anyway]

[Try me then]

[Yo, this isn't a kindergarten and I'm not your master! This is my personal sh*t! Why shall I even tell you?]

Chapter 842 A Hassle With A Sovereign!

Well, he got a point there. But without telling me bro, you wouldn't get the help you wanted.

[Without knowing what you'll gain from this, how come I'll even consider signing that contract? After all I'm going to risk my life here]

[Humph! Find him or her first then let's speak]

[It's better to find another dude then]

[Don't you dare! I'm holding your precious boy here with my spear!]

[As if I don't have a way to free him and frame you in return!]

[I bet you won't dare to do that!]

[Test me and you'll deeply regret it] I snorted, [I didn't call them yet because I want to finish this deal with you. However, if there is no way to close it, then let's continue as enemies instead of friends]

The two of us ended up in such a stalemate. I wouldn't budge, and he didn't intend to. But I wasn't going to let him get his way without knowing what he wanted my power for.

[Tsk, such a badass useless human kid who thinks himself a hegemon! Alright, I want to adopt this guy as a son to me, nourish him to grow stronger and also will let him study under my friend's care]

[Nice try] Well, he gave such a reasonable reason that was full of bullshit! Adopting me? Trying to get me stronger? Make me study under the guidance of his friend?

If these two weren't crazy, I might have believed part of what he said! But such a cold-hearted bastard would only care about himself and his benefits.

[I'm not lying!]

[Indeed you are!]

[I'm a sovereign! A mighty sovereign in my people! How come I lie? It's a disgrace to even think about it!]

[Stop bluffing, I won't buy your sh*t. Just spill out the beans or I'll go and get my boy free with the help of others]

[You damn bastard! I said I'm not lying!]

[Ok, keep the act. I'm opening the messages with these sovereigns now. Hmm… Should I send Ludan to help first or send the three? Hmm… What do you think? Three is enough or shall they bring their friends and their armies with them?]

[Screw you son of b*tch! You aren't a human! You are a damn dark master with a twisted heart and will rot in hell for eternity!]

[Stop fooling around and tell me everything then]

[I lost a kid once and was looking for him. He has the power of time and space ability. I believe he is the one at your place]

[Another fake story! Dammit! Are you full of sh*t like this or is this your nature?]

[Don't say a single word or I'll come to kill you myself!]

[As if I'll accept this pathetic lost son story. Try another one, I need some sort of amusement while waiting for Ludan's answer]

[You… Sent a message to him?]

Oh! It seemed that the sovereign was worried about Ludan. I guess this would end badly for you if you kept slipping off my grasp like this.

[I'm going to but have to find a source of amusement first. Come on, keep telling me such nice stories]

[F*ck you! I'm not a clown for your pleasure!]

[Indeed you are making yourself one]

[If not for you being far away from me right now… I swear I'd have crushed your throat and broke your arms and legs before even saying a single word!]

「寿命が長い都道府県」ランキング:長寿と短命の理由とは?TOPSSEEK

[You can't, as I'm not next to you, hahaha!] I knew this was true. I was acting this annoying and rude, insulting him at each chance, only thanks for me being away.

But he couldn't blame me for it, right? It was just coincidence that let the two of us apart, not able to meet.

[F*ck you! I won't forget this grudge no matter how many years will pass! One day we will meet and then… Humph! Just thinking about all the horrible things I'm going to do to you makes my blood boil in excitement!]

[Stop daydreaming and man up, will you?]

[F*ck you son of b*tch!]

[I don't have time for all this. Will you tell me what I want or shall I send a message to Ludan? And beware, this isn't a joke anymore! I'm fed up dealing with such a rude sovereign like you]

[Rude… You… How dare you?!! It's you who needs to get disciplined]

[Fine, good bye and wait for my people]

I closed the chat, did nothing for almost half an hour before reopening the chat again.

And what welcomed me was a long line of rude and angry messages which held that sovereign resentment towards me.

"He really wants a person with such ability, desperately needing me…" my eyes flashed with such evil intentions when I noticed the change in his tone and words.

In less than half an hour, he turned from cursing and insulting, shouting and threatening, to being a little mild in his words, trying to ask me to speak again with him, and even promising me a reward in return.

It seemed he didn't waste his time and interrogated Silverlining during our chat. He started to offer a large number of soulers, including even general calibre. He even said he got necromancers, lots of them, and even a general grade ones as well in intact and full powerful state.

At the end he started to offer lots of races, including my humans. And when I didn't answer, he turned his offer into a threat, threatening to go all out and purchase humans and kill them!

This damn jerk! He was so stressed out to find the one with the time ability for whatever he wanted.

[Just tell me why you want this dude and we can have a proper talk] After waiting for another half an hour, I finally sent this message to him.

[Dammit! Why are you fixating over this? I can offer you tons of what you want, free of charge, in return for finding and delivering whom I want over]

Chapter 843 [Bonus chapter] Wait! Sign A Contract First!

[I said my price, and it's not negotiable!] I didn't give him any room to slip away this time, [You got one hour. If by then you didn't agree, then I'll just consider us enemies for good]

I didn't wait to hear any of his useless sh*t. As I closed the chat with him, I turned to see the dome.

This all started because of this damn thing. A pocket time loop world? Would I also face the same thing when facing the angels' pocket time loop world as well.

I looked at the dome and started to see what I knew so far. I knew… Nothing that might help, nothing worthy of note!

And that made me more frustrated.

I turned my eyes over to the soulers. They were really doing great work turning this entire zone upside down, showing the heart of the ground and throwing away many rocks as they dug deeply.

They found many of such weird writing stones, but what was the use? I couldn't read such a language!

Ok… I had to find something I could work on from… Trying to get anything from this place seemed useless for now.

If I just got my Silverlining, I'd have asked him about such language. If I didn't manage to read it, he or other sovereigns would.

But that was out of my reach for now. So I had to think about this in a different way.

It was similar to the pocket time loop world of the angels, right? So that meant whoever did this had the ability to control time just like angels.

カップルが輸送コンテナを豪華な家に変身,中を見てみようTOPSSEEK

Also as Lucias said, they also had space powers. Were there two races then here? Or one with such terrifying ability mixing time with space powers?

A dead race, a race mighty enough to be targeted by the hostile universe. But the angels managed to keep the remaining lot of them safe using this way.

Why didn't this race do the same? Were they stopped before completing their technique? From the look of it, they had all the time to prepare and finish such a world.

So why didn't they try to save part of their people inside? Or was Lucias wrong and there were lots of people inside without noticing their auras?

Thinking this way wouldn't help so I stopped considering this issue for now before thinking about something else.

The words the soul that controlled my Hilary spoke about the relation between me and the world's will, taking me as the bad guy here.

What was that all about? I looked up at the bright and clear sky while wondering what was wrong about this world.

Why wasn't there a single mention about this race in the all detailed records of history about this world.

I read everything, and not just once but a couple of times. Yet I was sure there was never a single mention about a race who could control either time or space.

There was something missing here… I didn't get why everything was mentioned, everything but this race and empire.

And what was with that empire thing? I got to read all about kingdoms, never heard about this term before except at the ancient human records long before the apocalypse.

As far as I knew, the last empire in the world before the apocalypse hit was the British empire, something that existed many years before.

Well… I had to get more info about empires then. If they were just what humans had before, then this empire would be much more powerful and bigger than any kingdom I ever heard or read about.

So I got that they were like the angels, might have survivors hidden down below. They might be two races with two different abilities, and they were a big and famous race and empire, stretching over more worlds than any kingdom ever did before.

That meant they were famous, known even after their disappearance. Finding their name wasn't going to be a hard task.

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

I just had to ask about the list of the famed and extinct empires, with races mastering both time and space abilities in the universe.

I doubted this list would contain more than five names at most.

[What's your answer?] since the last messages of rage and insult he sent, that sovereign went all silent and didn't send anymore.

It seemed he either gave up, or was seriously thinking about my offer. Or perhaps he might have been thinking of another way to get what he wanted without telling me any of his secrets.

[I agree. Let me tell you a story then…]

[Wait!] I didn't even read the entire message, [We will sign a contract first]

[Contract? Are you f*cking kidding me?!!!]

[Sorry pal, but you aren't that trustworthy at all. Who knows, you may even plant lies in the middle of the truth, or even give me an entire bullshit story as if it was real]

[Come on! I'm a sovereign of the Toranks! How in the world did you get such lewd and dirty thoughts about me?]

Screw you! Do you even think I'd be content and satisfied by this bullshit? Even if your race was mighty and all, having bad weed in the middle of all green was inevitable!

[Then you won't have a problem signing a contract with me, right?]

[F*ck you! I will never do such a disgraceful thing!]

[Then bye bye, I'll send a message to Ludan now. Expect a visit from him soon]

[I'll leave, leave far away and he won't be able to find me, no one will! And you'll lose your precious dude here]

[Stop bluffing! Either agree or refuse! I won't accept such useless sh*t again! Enough wasting my damn time and give me your f*cking answer]

He started to get on my nerves! If he wasn't ready to help me out, then it was better to waste this time looking for someone else who would.

[Damn! Send me the contract then to review]

Chapter 844 Let Me Tell You A Story...

That was my boy! I evilly grinned while purchasing one of the priciest contracts in the entire market.

It was a high grade one, with the price of ten billion coins. I got tons of coins now after claiming my loot from that battle. So paying such a price wasn't anything big for me.

Once bought, I took my time filling its content and adding all the conditions that would protect me from this damn formidable figure.

[Here] I sent the contract over to him, costing me a pricey item to allow me to send things through chat messages.

[This… No way! No f*cking way I'll sign such a thing!]

[It's the finale. Sign it or leave it. I'm fed up dealing with you. So give me your answer right away]

[That damn condition about paying you all these things… What for? Didn't you say this is going to be your price? Me telling you why I need that dude for?]

[It's just an extra fee. Don't forget, I have to look for him first]

I was lying indeed. I just felt regret to leave everything he offered before behind. So I added them at one condition in that contract. And it seemed it stirred him up.

[Dammit!]

カップルが輸送コンテナを豪華な家に変身,中を見てみようTOPSSEEK

[What's your final answer then? Will you sign it or not?]

[I'm, damn hell I'll let this disgrace be gone without washing it away with your screams and blood!]

[Hey buddy, are you blind or what? There is a condition there to ensure my safety from you. Do you want to die with me?]

[Screw you! Can't I curse and threaten you? Will that count as endangering your life? Hell no!]

[I don't know, but it's your life you are toying with right here. So tread carefully when speaking or thinking about harming me, or else you won't know from where the bolt of lightning will fall over your head]

[F*ck you!]

[Just sign it, I wasted lots of time here. We still need to find that friend of yours and ask him about this world]

[No need. I'm already well aware of all the info he has about such thing]

[Really?!] I was sceptical about what he was saying. But when the contract was signed and I got the notification about it, I knew he was now going to tell me everything.

[Wait until you hear my little story, then you'll get to know everything. What happened before, from over a thousand years ago, was that…]

He started to narrate his tale to me. This time I didn't interrupt or send any mean comment.

He was telling this story while getting bound by the contract. So he wasn't lying. And to be honest… That tale was quite sad!

I already thought about the reason behind such a desire to get someone with space or time abilities. But none of my theories and guesses were right.

He… He was doing this for something that looked trivial in my eyes and worthless as well… He was doing this for love!

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

Could anyone possibly risk everything to save someone he loved? Aside from that foolish jumper, I never expected anyone else to be as foolish as that jerk.

What happened was this… He was in love with some kind of a girl from another race, a race he refused to tell me its name.

She was his companion, risking their lives on many adventures. He was hot blooded at that time, aspiring for power and fame, aiming to get to heights and places no one else ever went to.

He was an adventurer! And that made him fond of going to places so damn dangerous like these pocket worlds.

He said that his girl had this power, the power to control space. She wasn't that efficient as her race was almost extinct, but she was doing just enough to secure them an opening to and from any pocket world.

He claimed he visited more than twenty of such worlds and gained lots of riches and had fun there. But in one pocket world, he faced a great calamity.

[The pocket worlds we visited before were all in ruins. The people who did it had to secure the treasures and inheritance of their races, not leaving behind a living soul. They were all sealed worlds with nothing there but treasures everywhere]

This was what he mentioned about the pocket worlds he kept hunting. [But the last one was different. It wasn't a simple pocket world, it was one with time powers sealing it. It had people living there, trapped in an endless loop of time. And this was my first time meeting such a thing in the universe…]

He started to describe how the people who built this time loop were vicious and angry. They held great resentment towards everyone else in the universe, seeing them as traitors to their race and their sworn enemies.

So going there ended up with the two lovers getting trapped into something they couldn't get out of. And that wasn't all!

[The ones who did it made sure to leave behind traps triggered if anyone dared to trespass into their world. They wanted their race to live, and didn't want it to live again in our universe. So, they created this loop, making their people there living a life of dream, without really living a single moment]

I got what he meant, and something resonated with the way and words that soul said on the tongue of Hilary. This resentment and hatred… It seemed quite common then between those extinct races.

[The only way out was by burning out her entire power to open a crack for me to get out! And she didn't tell me that until the last moment, while I was already passing through the portal she opened…]

And from there, his over a thousand years of struggle began!

He was in a state of shock when that happened. At first, he tried to get back inside that pocket world.

Chapter 845 The Time Curse!!!

[But time looped pocket worlds won't allow for the same person to enter them twice! That was a measure to stop anyone from breaking them or doing anything inside. If a person got the power to get out once, then he would be a threat in the eyes of those damn lunatics!]

Then he started to speak briefly about what he did next. He shifted his full attention towards finding anyone in the entire universe able to give him answers and solve this disaster for him.

And that was when he met with his old crazy friend.

[He… Was already much older than me, around a couple thousand years old. I didn't know how someone not belonging to a big race or kingdom could survive on his own for such a long time, without even creating a name for himself…]

That was how he described his friend. Well, even he said his friend was weird and crazy. So how damn crazy this dude was?

[After getting into lots of trouble, I finally managed to befriend him. He started teaching me lots of stuff about pocket worlds and their kinds. And I got to know that there are two general pocket worlds in the entire universe… One is called the vengeful worlds, which are like the one that took my girl away from me. And the other is called the struggling worlds, as they were made as a struggle to let the remaining survivors of a race survive!]

I read that and couldn't help but think that the world created by angels belonged to the second type. It was the last war cry done by their higher ups in an attempt to save their race from extinction.

As for the one I got here, it belonged to the first type for sure.

[The second type will be void of any traps but getting inside it is the problem. As for the first type, it's easier to get in, but harder to get out. Besides, your life will be endangered if you entered any of the two, with the second type holding the highest odds of dying in between the two]

I never expected that! And I couldn't help but ask: [Why is that? Shouldn't the first type be more dangerous thanks to the traps?]

カップルが輸送コンテナを豪華な家に変身,中を見てみようTOPSSEEK

[The traps are deadly indeed, but they are avoidable and can be done with if you got their pattern. But the second world… The people who did them will be forced to do it just at the last few moments of their race]

[What does this mean?]

[It means the pocket world will seal a very huge battlefield, one that would be enough to exterminate an entire race till the last person. Do you think you can do a thing if you were thrown into one of these? I, even in my level of power, can't ensure my safety in entering one of these. Besides, the only way to get out from there is by changing the final outcome of this battle]

[You mean… Help a few of these races to survive?]

[No, I mean by winning the war and crushing the enemies!]

Damn! Was that what I had to do then to help the old man's people? Even such a mighty sovereign, a formidable figure in such a prestigious race who lived for over one thousand years didn't have any confidence in doing it!

I… Never thought such a task would be this impossible!

[Anyway… I need someone with a different power to help me enter that damn pocket world again and save my girl]

[But… Didn't you say it was forbidden for you to enter there?]

[I have a way from my friend, a method that can mask myself from the sensors and traps of that pocket world. But I can't use any space power to enter there. Or else my friend would have helped me since hundreds of years ago]

I paused, read all his messages and got to understand him better. He… Was a really bitter man indeed.

I thought that my jumper who spent his last decades jumping from one world to another was a miserable person.

But… That wasn't true! The true bitter person here was this sovereign.

I knew what he said was all true thanks to the power of the contract supervising over our chat.

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

Should I help him?

[Didn't you find anyone with such powers during all these years? I hardly believe you didn't!]

[I did, but all of them were cursed!]

[Cursed? How?]

[Anyone with time ability will have a short life span]

What the f*ck?!!! [You are kidding, right?!!] I was scared, instantly scared when he said that.

[That's normal. After all, even my friend didn't know what caused the demise of all the time clans back in the ancient times. All he knows is that something triggered a backlash against them. So anyone of their descendants will have to face this curse]

[Which is…?]

[Why are you interested in this curse?]

[I just love cursed races] I gave such a lie almost without blinking, [I love necromancers, soulers, and even fallen gods! I got heaps of them right now, and working on to get more as you can see]

[Damn! You even got yourself such a cursed race, the fallen gods? You are… much crazier than me back in my early years!]

[I'm not, I just like the feeling of having such powerful and scary dudes next to me]

[Fine! But don't dream about getting time cursed folks before handing one over to me. If you were lucky to find more than one!]

[I will, but first tell me more about this curse]

[It's not a big thing actually. As they get the power to affect time, their life span will decrease accordingly. The more they use their powers, the shorter the years they'll live. That's their curse, simple and scary, right?]

[I… Can't find the right words to describe this…] I was shaken from the inside, not knowing what I should say or even think about.

Chapter 846 What Are You Hiding?

After a few minutes, I couldn't help but move my eyes around. I used my time ability over this world here, used it over my flying castle, and also at the necromancers' world.

I was planning to keep using it, but damn! I never thought about such a curse at all!

[It's just misfortune. My friend says that this curse wasn't normal, it was done to them by another race. He has this theory about the intervention of the hostile universe in this. He even said the curse is all related to some dark shadow race there, known for their ability to do curses]

[Shadow race?!!!] Just as I felt like falling into the depths of an abyss of hell, when he said these words I felt like getting thrown high in the air, even touching the clouds.

Damn! Damn! Shadow race? Wasn't this the same power I got? What damn luck was that? Phew! I was… Saved!

[It's a mysterious race at the other universe, very vicious, very deadly, and very hard to kill]

Yes, yes, rain me down with praise for my power, hahahaha!

[It's such a scary race! So your friend thinks they are behind that curse?] But even if I was celebrating what he said, I didn't show any of that.

[He is one hundred percent sure of that, but he lacked any evidence. He studied the other universe known races for so long, ending up pointing at them]

[So… The one I'm going to find for you will be cursed?]

[That's given. Unless he was part of that race or got their help in cleansing the curse, he or she would be cursed]

Well, that didn't apply to me. I was saved by my cultivation and my shadow power. Thanks gods of luck, you saved my neck just now.

[Anyway, once you found him, just let me know. I'll agree on a place to meet and receive that dude from you. In return for that, I'll prepare the stuff we agreed upon]

[Ok, now I need you to help me out with something… Like you know I got a pocket time loop world here and I have to go in and clear it]

Play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is addicted.Play for free. No Installation.navy.quest

[What for? It's troublesome as you just heard! And without finding that dude with time or space power, you won't be able to get out!]

[It got two of my people] I paused, [And I'm very protective to my people]

[Got it? Did your people go there to discover the place or what?]

[No, what happened here was like that…]

Well, we two got a contract together, and he was obliged to help me in solving this problem. So the more he knew, the better. Besides, he said everything that a friend of his knew about pocket worlds he also knew.

[Damn! I never heard of something like this! Are you sure it was a soul who took control of your people and drove them inside?]

[Like I said, it tried to lure a third person and I stopped it!]

[How?]

[Using my soulers of course]

[Oh, that's a nice and effective way… And you said your souler general said this world is filled with souls?]

[Why do I feel you are suspicious about this?]

[It's just… If there are souls, then why the heck did the ones behind this pocket time loop world did it in the first place? Souls are dead, no matter how long one keeps them!]

[That's… Also the same doubt I have. But in terms of souls, I trust my general the most]

[Yes, soulers are one of the best races in the world in terms of souls. There also was once a mighty and terrifying race that was even better than them. They were called the Summoners, as they can control and summon souls to fight for them]

[It's extinct, or turned into warriors?] I asked as I hoped they'd be warriors. If so, then it would be a nice addition to my forces.

[Sigh! It's true that you love cursed races then… No, they were cursed and went into extinction long time ago]

[Oh, what a loss]

[Sorry about that. Anyway, the dude you'll find is mine, then you can get whatever cursed time clan members as you want]

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

[What if it turned out to be a space clan member?]

[Then… It's my loss for now. But the contract will still go on until you find me one and then I'll deliver things over to you]

[Ok… Can you tell me now how to enter this pocket world? And how to get out?]

[To get in is simple. Each pocket world has a key, something like a hidden gate. It might be a weird ornament or ore, or even a phrase that you need to read]

Phrase that I needed to read? I moved my eyes around. [Dude, I got tons of writings here that I can't read! What can I do now?]

[Tons? How so?]

[Like this…] I explained the presence of the many stones with writings. Even while speaking with him right now, my soulers were still discovering more of these stones.

[Weird… This pocket world of yours is all weird. Why not invite me there and let me examine it?]

[Not a chance!]

[Easy scaredy cat, we got a contract here to save your neck]

[It's also a big no!]

Who said it was just about saving my life? This world of mine was a singularity world, one that shouldn't be known to anyone. Letting the tiger in? That would be a great mistake indeed.

This world should remain hidden and secret, with no one able to find it.

[What are you hiding? Hmm… Wait a minute… What's special about this world?]

[Nothing!]

[Don't bluff me! I know there is something special about it! Tell me and we can be good friends]

[Thanks, but I'll have to pass that down]

[Then it must be something far more important than the normally found special worlds… I got a short list of five types in my mind. Why won't you save both of us the trouble and tell me?]

Chapter 847 Like My Technique? No Way!!!

[No need, keep trying to guess it]

[Oh, quite sure that I won't be able to guess it? Or… Are you sure I won't be able to find it? Damn! Don't tell me… Is it a singularity world?]

F*ck! That dude managed to guess it so damn fast! That was why dealing with such mighty figures was so hard!

[I now understand. If I got myself such a world, I won't tell anyone about its location. But… Aren't you supposed to be just starting your apocalypse?]

[I'm just about to start my fifth quest]

[Damn lucky! So damn lucky! Getting such a world this early? And you are a human! Dammit! If just such news were known before that meeting, we might have bound you to share this secret with us! Or better, force you to share it with me in our little deal!]

[It's out of question]

[Then how about this… I can pay the price agreed in the contract for sharing this world with you. What do you think?]

[Not a chance!]

[I can give you the dude you'll find after helping me out. Like this, you can have your cursed time controller]

Nice try dude. But that was futile to fail. I was that person. Do you want to sell myself to me? What a joke!

[Just stop it! I won't share it no matter what!]

[Tsk! A hard to deal with dude indeed. And you are a human, how come such a weak race gave birth to such a stubborn person?]

[Luck]

[You got tons of it! I'm now more interested in knowing you better. Why won't you come to visit me sometimes?]

[Thanks, but I'm quite busy just like you are. Can you release my boy now?]

「寿命が長い都道府県」ランキング:長寿と短命の理由とは?TOPSSEEK

[What about sharing that world with me in return for him being sent out safe and sound?]

[I got Ludan ready in the other message. One sec, I'll let him come and find you and get Silverlining back]

[Stop it! I'll release that one now. What a damn cold-hearted dude you are]

He was indeed afraid of Ludan. It was also a blessing of luck that Silverlining didn't tell the race higher ups about my singularity world.

Or else they might have caused trouble just like this dude here.

[Thanks for all you did for me]

Just after a few minutes, Silverlining came at last and sent me such a message.

[Are you alright, old friend?]

[I'm alive, and that's what matters. You just don't know how brutal that crazy dude is!]

As he started to curse freely this way, it meant he got away, far away from that sovereign.

[Sorry to cause you such trouble. But I needed to get the answers I wanted]

[I understand. I also heard what you two spoke about. Are you sure you want to get into such a scary pocket world?]

[I have to. Or else my people will be targeted all the time]

[I see. But can't you wait until I'll talk to the sovereigns on your side? They might know something or have a thing to help]

[Hmm… Will this take long?]

[I'm just near the capital. Give me few hours]

[Ok, I will wait]

I was about to close the chat before I recalled something, [Wait… I want you to check on something for me with them]

[What?]

[The writings I got here] I moved my eyes around, thinking about how to move these writings over, [Can I record a video for you and send it over?]

[Sure, but you'll need an item for that]

[I just bought one. Let me record few and send you the writings]

I went down there, opened my channel and used a recording of the last stones I watched. Of course my channel was in uproar for a long time already thanks to everything I was doing.

But I lost interest in it for a long time already. I got that the gods attending there weren't high grades, and they wouldn't be of any help for me right now.

Perhaps before going to the golden quest or the betting worlds I'd ask for their help. If they couldn't provide me with items I might need, they could always provide precious intel and share their experience about these two places.

I knew that Silverlining promised me a detailed report about the golden quest. But he still didn't prepare it for me. Once he'd do, I'd start studying it to get a better hold over such quests.

[I sent the recording over to you. I can't read it, please find me someone who can]

[Sure, let me check it first. I might be able to read these writings…]

He went into silence for ten minutes before sending a new message over.

[What the heck is that language? I can't get any head or tail from it! I'm sure I never saw something like this before, and it's not close to any known tongue in our current time!]

[Sigh! Then ask others about it. Sovereigns might be able to know it]

[Sure, let me meet with them first and I'll show them the recording]

I closed the chat with him and that sovereign, and finally got time to see the entire place around the dome.

For hours, my soulers kept working diligently. And yet they didn't excavate all of the stones. Every couple minutes, a new one would be found.

Looking at the general view of this place from my high vantage point, I got a weird feeling.

"These stones… They aren't randomly allocated… They are arranged in circles, triangles inside the circles… This…"

For a second there, I got a familiar feeling. This image was weirdly like the techniques of mine. I also used to draw circles with my blood, and even stretched out lines to form triangles there.

This… Looking at the entire scene down below with incomplete circles and triangles, I couldn't help but feel astonished.

This dome… It worked as the centre of my technique, the place where I usually placed my bloodied hand at.

Was this… A technique of someone? Could this be… Possible?

Chapter 848 Digging Out Special Stones

"Lucias! Come here now!" Once I reached this conclusion, crazy conclusion actually, I shouted at Lucias to come using my horn.

Why was it crazy? Simply because of the size of it! What race would have such colossal physique enough to have this dome as the place of his fist?

That… Only a colossal being with a body spanning for hundreds of metres or even more would be able to leave behind such a technique.

My best guess? This wasn't a creation of a technique, but something mimicking it! There would be no living race so damn huge to such an extent! Not even close!

The biggest dudes I met had bodies for seven up to ten metres tall at most. The only colossal dudes I met were those monsters, not sane races!

"Yes lord," Lucias rook a couple seconds to arrive at my chariot next to me.

"See this…" I pointed at the ground down below, moving my index finger while drawing circles and triangles, "can you see this?"

"This… Lord, are you saying this isn't all random?"

"Hell no!" I instantly said, "I want you to start digging at the places that don't yet have stones. Then expand at the same pace in circles. As for triangles, you can just scatter a few around to find scattered stones in spaces between the circles. Also you got a few incomplete big triangles there. Don't miss them then."

"Ok lord, I'll memorise this pattern and then order my boys down there to work upon it. But… Isn't this a bit weird?"

"It is, indeed it is," I firmly nodded without shifting my eyes away from this sight.

What the heck was wrong with this place? First it caused such an unreasonable fight between Hilary and Angelica, ending up eating two of my people away.

And now this arrangement is similar to my techniques? Damn! What other mysteries did this place hold?

I waited and watched while Lucia delivered the pattern to all. Then as a typhoon, they all moved towards the places without stones in the broken circles and triangles and started to dig.

Soon enough, new stones started to appear. However these were buried much deeper than the previous ones.

If not for me to give the order directly to look there, they wouldn't have been found!

"Hmm… They aren't the only stones placed in different depths…" As I noticed this, I started to move around using my chariot, slowly examining the stones down below.

At first glance, no one would see any difference at all. But as I was looking specifically for the stone depths, I started to notice the subtle differences there.

These stones… They were arranged in circles, and each circle seemed to be on a slightly lower level than the ones in the circle before it.

It looked like the dome was at the top of a mountain, and the circles were the slippery body of it!

This… This couldn't be done on a mere fluke or coincidently. The more I looked at this design, the more I became sure about it.

This was done on purpose. And if so, then it must serve a purpose.

What were these stones used for? Now I wanted to know the meaning behind each writing on each single stone more than ever!

I would never risk going in there before exposing all the mysteries about these writings and this place. First I got to read these writings, then I had to know what this technique design was used for.

The first was handed over for the sovereigns. As for the second issue, I had two solutions for it.

I could ask the sovereigns as well. But if it failed, or I felt a risk in showing this design to them, then I got the second way around.

I'd use my cultivation base and try to create a new technique mimicking the one down below. But doing this might be a bit risky.

If this technique was related to bloodlines, and mine wasn't suitable, then a backlash might erupt. So I didn't consider doing this at the beginning and would wait for the sovereigns to answer me first.

Gradually more stones started to appear in the void places in between the circles and triangles' general layout. I shifted my attention towards these places.

What was special about them? Out of curiosity, I went down there and checked a few of them.

Well… They got the same bizarre writings indeed. However they looked a bit different from other stones.

The stones were all made out of dark stones, cut into rectangular shapes. However these ones had a rounded end, looking like they were cut to be on this shape as a finger.

They were slightly bigger, broader, and darker in colour. From closely inspecting them, I could tell these stones came from different ores than others. Not that different in type, but different in quality.

They looked higher in grade compared to other stones.

Putting the difference in shape and material aside, there was nothing special again about them.

The places they were put at didn't form any design at all! They didn't follow any pattern and didn't give me any impression about what was special about their places.

I was sure the way they were placed meant something. But as the soulers of mine excavated the last hidden stone of these special ones, I didn't get any clue about this mystery.

"They are spreading around," as they finished filling the gaps, they started to dig outside once more. This time, they moved out in many teams, knowing what they had to do.

They were organised, much more than before. And that made them more effective, unearthing stones fast, and knowing where to look.

As they started to speed up, the size of this design kept enlarging fast! And it started to become much complicated, much more complicated than the earlier design I saw.

In just the time needed for Silverlining to come back, which was almost eight hours, the size of the unearthed stones tripled!

Chapter 849 There Is Something Terribly Wrong!

One had to know that the more they moved outwards, the bigger the space they had to cover. More circles appeared, with each having unequally and irregularly distributed deeper special stones.

Circles weren't the issue, triangles were. Circles just kept expanding outwards in such a regular pattern. But triangles didn't follow any pattern at all!

They might just appear to link two or three circles together or might expand over tens of circles over. They might even interlink between each other from any angle, or even trespass each other's body without any reason.

Slowly things started to look messy to my eyes. I was first able to follow this design. But now? I couldn't even follow those outer ones, even if I focused on part of it.

This design… It was a high form of technique, much higher and more complicated than anything I even thought about.

And looking at it made me more unsure about mimicking this technique. I felt like it was too early for me to try such a high technique.

Even if my bloodline and energy matched, my power would fail me in the end. I might even face a greater disaster than just a backlash!

[I met them and dude… They all advised against going there!]

The message Silverlining sent was simply this warning again. This Silverlining… Did he go there to take their agreement to dissuade me from doing it?

[And what about the writings?]

[This… Didn't you just read what I sent over? You shouldn't go there or else you may not return!]

[I can survive this, don't worry about me] I sighed, [What I need right now is that language to be deciphered and read. Did you find any sovereign able to read it?]

[Actually… They also felt the same like me]

[What do you mean?]

[This language… It isn't close to any known language present now or was at the past]

Not known?!! This came as a surprise for me.

カップルが輸送コンテナを豪華な家に変身,中を見てみようTOPSSEEK

[Are you sure? It's not even close to any language?]

[Nothing, nothing at all! It even piqued the curiosity of many sovereigns, promising they'll start searching it]

[This… I never expected such an outcome to be honest. All the sovereigns? All of them?!]

[Well… I couldn't ask all of them as many already left. But those in the capital are all the big shots. So if they didn't know, I doubt anyone else would]

[Ok…] I could only resign to such a depressing outcome.

[Oh… There may be one who might know… But…]

I first didn't get what he wanted to say, but in the next few seconds I guessed it. [Damn! Are you sure it's him?]

[Well, if there is anything mysterious like this then he will be the first to be asked about]

[Sigh! Ok, I'll send him a message]

He was referring to that crazy Golane. I could only endure what he might say or ask for, in return for knowing what his writings meant.

[Can you check this out?]

[Do you think I'm your servant or what? I'm a damn sovereign! You can't just jump in my chat and send a message whenever you want!]

I expected more actually. His temper… He got all the right to act like that, after all he was a formidable figure in his race.

[Just check out what I sent over]

[I won't!]

[It's the writings over the stones around the pocket time loop world. And no one knows what this language is!]

[For real? Whom did you ask? Your pathetic friends? Or that useless piece of sh*t dude of my people?]

[I asked all the big sovereigns at the capital, and none got a clue about what this language is! They even couldn't find any similarity between it and any old or present language!]

He didn't answer me for the next half an hour, and I knew he was interested and was checking the recording I sent.

Well, at least he was going to check these writings. Hopefully he might find a clue about them.

[Are you telling me these stones are allocated all around that pocket world? Are you sure?]

[Indeed]

[Can you take a recording of that pocket world entrance with the stones around from air?]

[Sorry, I can't fly] damn! It seemed he already got something from the writings I sent! Asking specifically for that meant he already suspected the arrangement of stones in certain shapes.

[Don't lie! I already searched out the universe for any info about you. You got a chariot that you stole from a formidable dragon race big shot!]

[He is just a paragon! And I won it in a fair bet!]

[That's not what he is saying about that. But anyway, you got the chariot and you can fly high in the air, enough to take a full recording of the entire place. Do it then and stop wasting my time]

[Sorry, but I can't do that]

[Oh… Then… Damn! My friend's guess is right! Damn lord!]

His friend? Did he take all this time to send the recording over to his crazy friend? And what did his friend see or say about these writings?

Or did he see through more than these writings, and knew the stones were arranged in a predetermined order?

[What did he say?]

[He said… Why should I tell you for free? Give me the location of that world of yours or forget about it!]

This again… Why was this dude acting a little childish with me?

[I told you, I can't!]

[And I'm telling you, you can't control that world!]

[Control? I'm the sole ruler here with no one to oppose my dominion!]

[Come on, you can already feel it, right? There is something wrong, terribly wrong about this little precious world of yours. You can feel it, don't deny it!]

Well… To be honest what he just said was true. I was feeling more threat coming from this world the more I tried to understand this pocket time loop world here.

[I'm not! I'm just curious about this pocket thing]

Chapter 850 Everyone Is Freaking Out!

[Liar! If you are this curious, you wouldn't have gone to the extent of asking everyone you can reach to solve this for you. Besides, your feeling is right]

[What do you mean?]

[You aren't owning a singular world; you are owning a ticking bomb! Dude, if I was you, I'd turn back and ran as far away from there as possible]

[Stop bluffing! I won't get scared of this easily! This is my world, and it's mine!]

[Dude, you still don't get it, ain't you? This world of yours… It isn't in our universe!]

What the heck…?!!!

[What the hell are you talking about?]

[The reason behind no one of my fellow colleagues here not recognising any of these writings, even I didn't recognise it, is simple. It didn't come from our universe! Not a single race had a similar language before]

[Who said it? Why would I believe you?]

[Dude, even if my words aren't that trustworthy, then think about the other sovereigns. We are the strongest in our race, and my race is the strongest in the entire universe!]

[Don't brag too much, there is still one race on top of yours]

[Don't ever mention that! We are the strongest, and these cheaters are just using a dirty way to come on top of us! We are stronger, we are the strongest, don't ever forget about that]

[And yet you can't decipher a simple language!]

[That's because it doesn't exist in our universe, idiot! It came all the way from that alien universe!]

[And I shall believe that!]

[Find me another one who can say where this language came from, and I'll leave my post right away! My friend recognised it already, and it's one of the ancient and darkest languages in the history of that universe]

One of the ancient and darkest? [Did you know which clan or race it belonged to?]

[No, he just read a few records about that universe and interrogated many of the captured prisoners from them. He just has this habit, to try and know what others can't, just like myself]

[Oh, I see… So this language can't be read… What a regret!]

[Kiddo, you don't get it yet, right? This isn't about the language, it's about the world you are in! Such an ancient language is there because this world was once ruled over by one of the ancient races of that hostile universe. And that means you are now inside their universe!]

[That can't be true! I don't know lots of things about that other universe, but I know that it has some sort of energy that will eat away our strength and affect our bodies!]

[That's not necessarily true. Besides, who knows what other things are in that world? You are stepping over a minefield! Leave it! Abandon that world and give it to those who can handle it]

[Aha, I see now]

[See what?]

[You are trying all this hard to get this world for yourself!]

[Damn human! I'm not lying! What do you want? Sign another contract for you to believe my words?]

[I'm buying them, but I'm not buying your weird sincerity and care for me]

[Come on, our enmity got solved already. Plus, I need you to survive! Just find that person for me and return back and never come here again!]

[That's not enough to make me believe you] Of course he was acting a bit weird.

[Fine, I'll spread the word and you'll hear the same from those who you trust more]

He sent such a weird message before going all silent. I didn't get what he was going to do. Yet in the next five minutes, I got tons of messages raining down over my eyes.

[Don't do it! Leave now! That world… It's very dangerous to stay there!]

[You must leave! Leave now! Don't ever come to this world again!]

[You have a world from the hostile universe? And you are there and chatting with everyone like it's your backyard or home? Open a portal, leave and never come here again!]

The three messages and many others came from none other than the three sovereigns I dealt with before.

Reading their distressed messages made me frown. What the heck was going on here exactly? Why did they side with that crazy sovereign, the one they never were on good terms with?

Even Ludan, the one that scared Golane before, was persuading me to leave!

[Dammit Hye! What the heck did I just hear? Do you have a world in the enemy territory? Dammit! How the heck did you do it in the first place? And are you out of your goddamn mind? Are you tired of living? Do you want us to die with you?]

That last message came from none but Silverlining. And he seemed more distressed and gave out more info than others.

[Can you explain what's going on here? I don't get why everyone panicked!]

[Because you are risking our lives, our entire universe with what you are doing right now!]

[Stop panicking and just explain for me to get it]

[Didn't it ever cross your mind before? Why do we only have battlefields in the other universe and not in us?]

[This… But I heard there are many traitors in our universe and also many races got extinct or close to thanks to the schemes of the other universe]

I thought about it for a second before adding, [Besides, I heard that universe is already fighting two other bigger and mightier ones, so it's not that free to focus on us]

[That's… Indeed that's part of the reason, but there is also another… Our universe has some sort of a big shield, preventing anyone from easily trespassing it. Letting in a few of their races isn't hard, opening a few portals with their worlds isn't that hard either. But they can't just send in large armies the same way we are doing it]

[And… What's that got with me and my world here?]

Chapter 851 How To Read The Alien Language

[Hye, you own a world in the enemy territory, and it's linked to you. If they came there and found you, they could force you to let them go to our universe. Worse than that, they can perform a world merge technique, merging this world with yours, opening a permanent damn colossal gate to our universe, and starting invading it!]

Damn me! Was that… True?!!! I looked at the stones at the ground, that pocket world's dome and couldn't help but mutter:

"Don't tell me this… This damn technique is aimed towards me and my Earth? A technique for world merging!!!"

This technique… It shouldn't be mimicked… It must be destroyed! I looked in cold gaze towards the entire design of circles and triangles, making up my mind to destroy these.

But would destroying them release the souls trapped inside that pocket world or what? Would the pocket world there get ruined?

[I got your point] I sent to none but Golane. He was the one who stirred up such chaos, and he got scared like this.

[So are you going to abandon that world? Give it to me then]

[I won't ditch it]

[Damn crazy human! What else shall I do or say to make you change your mind?]

[I found the world merging technique here, and I'm going to destroy it]

[You… How come you know it's the technique? You do know that this one must be done on a huge scale!]

[That suits better what I found, so thanks for confirming this to me]

[I hate you! I hate you to the bones!]

[It's mutual then, that's great! Now, tell me how to destroy this technique]

[Are you crazy?]

[And tell me how can I read this language]

[Sure, go and look for someone from the other universe, one who is formidable enough like me or my friend, enough to be aware of the old and ancient tongue of their extinct people]

[Stop kidding!]

[I'm not! This is the only way you can use it!]

[Isn't there a manual or something I can use to read this language with?]

[Damn! What's inside that skull of yours? Jelly? Kiddo, the other universe uses energy in all forms, even to write and read! You won't be able to read it unless you use an energy from that universe! And it should be one of the best, strongest, and oldest to have the ability to read through it]

"Energy… Old, strong, and the best? Damn! Doesn't that mean my energy can do it? Can my shadow world do it?"

[How do I use energy to read them?]

[Stop making a fool out of yourself. Even for someone who hates you, it still pains me to see you do it!]

[Just humour me, shall you?] I wouldn't tell him that my energy was already part of the other universe, and it was one of the strongest forms there and one of the best.

As for it being ancient or not, I had to test it to see. I got what he said before. The other universe uses energy to read language and write them down, the same way I used to make my entire techniques.

I used my blood, which contained my energy, right? So for an energy to read something, it should have some sort of a memory about any language it touched since its creation.

This language was ancient, and that meant that a friend of Golane was someone who could at least read a few of the present languages of that universe.

Was he someone like me? He said that he got the space power, but he didn't speak about his cultivation.

If he was someone like me, then I should visit him at some point to get a few of my questions answered. Also asking someone about his experience in dealing with the same thing I was dealing with would be great.

But for now, I had to first read these writings before smashing the stones into pieces.

[It's an easy moron, let that imaginary being of that universe use his energy and cover up the entire place with it. Like this, if his energy was ancient and special enough, he would be able to read these writings for you. Of course if he didn't kill you before all that, and use your corpse to open a portal to your world and control it]

[Stop saying such bad news in the middle of the good ones]

[What good ones? Everything I said is bad! Terribly bad!]

[Ok, I'll get in touch with you later]

[Hey! Hey! Stop what the heck are you planning to do! You are going to doom us! All of us…]

I closed the chat before he would continue. I knew he and others were freaking out. But who said I was this reckless?

I had first to read and understand. Knowledge was power, and I had to gain knowledge left behind on these stones.

My soulers were still excavating more stones. To be honest, the scale of this technique here was really terrifyingly enormous!

But I got my answer already. Golane said I had to use my energy to read, cover the entire place with it.

How to do it? I got a few ideas once I thought about it.

First I could just use my blood, cover up stone by stone, and wait to see the magic happen. Of course this would take lots of time, exhaust my power, and even might not succeed.

Golane said to cover up the entire place with my power, not just piece by piece. So my second best option was to use my techniques in doing this.

I had many to select from, but the easiest one was my first. I would only need to release the threads all over the place, cover up most if not all of the stones here.

But what would happen next? Should I do something else? Would I have to invent a new technique to read this language or what?

I didn't know without trying. And then another dilemma appeared.

Chapter 852 Translated Into English!

Should I do it now? Or wait until the entire technique and stones would get revealed?

"I should wait," I decided, "It's not that good to read just part of the message."

This was the thing that made me decide to read the stones first before doing anything else.

If someone was trying to do something using this pocket world to do the merge, then why would he leave the stones arranged so damn close to the pocket world entrance?

If it was me, I'd rather build such a technique far, far away from here. Besides, I never noticed the existence of these stones without the help of Hilary and the soul that controlled her.

Or… Was this something that came outside the planning of these souls inside the pocket world? Was there something else trying to interfere with the dirty plans of these souls?

I got answers, and yet I had many doubts and answered questions. And the latter were much more disturbing than what I knew.

Something… Something felt amiss here. And I had this irresistible urge to unveil it before setting a single step into that pocket world.

I decided to wait, and this wait extended to long hours. As I waited, I started to think about all the options I got.

And so I moved back to the training grounds, asked Legend to select an army and make them ready to get deployed at my mark.

I could send them using my staff directly towards that site, saving them lots of time if they crossed the distance on foot.

Legend was doing great back there. He led the entire forces into such hellish training. The evolution of the monster lifeforms here helped him in doing that as well.

He got many monsters to let his forces kill and train over. Few were small and moving fast, others were huge and moving slower, and there were some who were like calamity, killing tons of my forces if not for the intervention of Legend and the elites he selected from all the forces here.

Well… He was doing just fine. At least one of us was doing great here.

Just looking and watching my forces train, getting a look over the towns and cities filled with life in the middle of mountains, made me sigh.

This world… It must be cleansed clean and saved for me and my people to live in. such paradise… I wouldn't give up on it this easily.

Finished from doing this, I returned back and waited for my soulers to finish. I slept for half a day, ate and drank, rested and waited.

After two days, the entire grand technique was excavated completely. It spanned over a huge area of two hundred miles around that pocket world, filled with tons of stones, all got the writings all over them.

I looked over this and would only sigh. Such a scale… Such an arrangement… It was scary!

And the scariest part was that this was hidden off my eyes all this time. If not for what happened, I wouldn't have found out about this place or knew anything about this.

It was good that it all got revealed this early, before I'd depend entirely over this world for my future plans.

At least if I lost it, I wouldn't lose too much. I could just adapt, change tactics and plans, without losing a lot.

"Humph, let's see what all this is all about then," even if I thought about this problem from such an angle, I wasn't that satisfied about it.

I had to do everything I could to save this world and not lose it no matter what!

"Go," as I performed my first technique, I waited for ten minutes, consumed bones to form a dense amount of my threads.

I didn't know if I should cover up the entire place at once or else reading these writings would fail or not. But to be sure, I decided to go all out, unleash enough threads to cover up every single stone, even the ground in between as well.

And once I got ready, I released all these threads while replenishing my bones on the chariot.

*Rumble!*

The moment my threads touched the stones, I felt this earth shattering rumble coming from nowhere else but my inner soul.

It was unexpected! And what happened next was much more unexpected!

The world… It went all blank all around! It was like someone turned off the lights, and there wasn't a single speck of light anywhere.

I felt a little uneasy with this. I tried to feel anything, but even my technique with my bloodied left fist inserted in its centre felt like it didn't exist.

Nothing existed but me. "Is this something I triggered or what?" I just said it before I heard my voice coming from my mind.

And then the entire darkness started to get filled with shiny little dots. They appeared faintly at first. But even the weakest fire in the middle of all this darkness was enough to look like a shining star.

One, ten, a hundred… Specks of lights started to coalesce, shine brighter, force the darkness around away, eating it as if they were fire.

It started with pure white, turned slowly into silver, before ending up in golden colour.

Dots of lights started to join together to form threads. Small lines started to appear, joining together to form some sort of letters.

"This…" and to my surprise, the letters that appeared were of the same unknown language I didn't manage to read before.

But the moment these writings appeared, they got masked, flashed brighter for a second, got hazy before they started to rearrange themselves as if someone was controlling their movements.

And instead of the unknown language, a familiar language of my race appeared. The unknown letters and words changed to form sentences I could read and understand.

One line after another appeared, each showing the same changes. They appeared first in that unknown language, before changing all into English.

Chapter 853 An Ancient Message

Lines started to float, come on top of each other, as if they were following a will of their own. For a moment there, I tried to read these lines, but I got that they weren't yet in order.

The sentences didn't match, and the meaning was broken. I got what was going on here. My technique seemed to work, and my energy was able to read and decipher this ancient language of the hostile universe.

It was reading up more stones and showing the writings in front of me, before changing them into something I could understand.

Lines upon lines started to appear, and more changed into English I could understand. The lines started to overlap, change order, until after an unknown period of time I started to get something useful.

"This…" I thought as my voice echoed inside my head. I started to read the first few sentences, and they were quite shocking.

[Here are the records of the dark guardians of our universe. We are doing this not only for ourselves, but for everyone else living in the entire cosmos. We found evidence of a group of evildoers, spreading among us and among many other universes. They aim to start a big war, war that will eat away our entire cosmos, and leave it in ash. They call themselves the Armageddon believers, and I call them heretics!]

I started to read more and more, getting more shocked by what I read. These writings were left by this unknown person, who called himself a dark guardian.

Apparently he belonged to the universe fighting ours. And he seemed to go into a big war against another faction there, one that wanted his universe to rage wars over many others.

From what I knew so far, his efforts were lost and the other faction prevailed. His universe was already at war with three others, including mine.

Who knew what other universes his universe fought war against and won. From what I read, this dude was from ancient times, so ancient that he pointed at my universe as being an infant!

[There is a nearby infant universe, one whose people are still retarded in using powers. They don't know how to salvage the great power of the universe and open their nebulas inside their bodies. They just use the superficial power of the big cosmos, adding strength in the form of points, without getting even the slightest understanding about this power..]

It was my universe for sure, and he was just referring to the system. It seemed the system was something ancient, and races in my universe got to use it in such a rudimentary and superficial way from his point of view.

He mentioned that this faction placed the task of conquering my universe at the top of their list. And he was fighting with many others on his side to stop such a scheme.

"Sorry pal, I'm sorry to tell you that you already failed!" I sighed while continuing to read his story.

He spoke about this world, and how it wasn't a single world to begin with.

[This place… It was just a mere rock in the middle of our universe. But that faction found a way to break through the natural barriers surrounding any universe, preventing any outsider from getting inside. However, this will come at the great cost of losing our shield, making our universe vulnerable to wars…]

I read about how he tried to stop them from doing this, but succeeded a few times until he wrote these words here.

[These people… They don't care at all about our universe, about our people. They don't care if our universe was wide open for any outsider to come in and rage wars here. I even doubt they wanted to turn my universe into the centre of a big war, enveloping many universes in between…]

Well… He got a point. His universe was already a big battlefield, where three universes were invading and fighting his people.

[As a result, I came here to stop them. This rock was the one that brought our shield down. My people never knew about its existence until the shield was brought down and we started looking. And from what I found, it's starting to turn into a small planet…]

Small planet? That was hilarious! It was a huge planet already, and that meant you failed and they managed to merge more worlds to this one.

He spoke about the world merging technique devised by these people, the same technique Silverlining and other Toranks sovereigns were wary of.

Such a scary weapon wouldn't be hidden from the eyes of anyone for so long. So the knowledge about such terrifying techniques was known by people in my universe after aeons of years later.

[The merging technique is sealed inside a pocket world. I don't know what they did, but they kept devouring worlds, consuming their souls and trapping them inside that world, using them as fuel for the next merge. I did all I could to destroy it, but eventually failed. So I left this technique here, sealing this world, and preventing it from working again…]

And now it was time for the big deal. He started speaking about a few of his friends, who were experienced at sealing techniques.

They devised this grand technique together, poured their souls and lives into it before dying. Before death, he left behind such a message for anyone yet to come.

[We found a way to seal it inside a huge black hole system. This way, no one will be ever able to find it, turning this cursed world into a world of singularity. Whoever will come here after me have to first read my warning and messages before doing anything stupid…]

He started to give a long list of warnings, saying that this world was unstoppable. He tried everything to crush it, but he couldn't even find the core of this world or the one controlling it.

Chapter 854 A Shocking Similarity!!!

[We reached a conclusion that these people reached a breakthrough in their powers, allowing them to create a self-sustaining technique, working over the souls, amassing more with each merge, before burning more to keep it working. There is nothing to be done as long as these souls are kept there. And there is no way to kill a soul! So leave, leave this world and don't mess with this technique or world…]

He kept giving big warnings, making me inwardly sigh. He lost all hope in stopping this pocket world and the weapon underneath it.

For a moment there I felt sad for him. He seemed like a nice guy, working for the best of his people, the best for other universes' people.

But good intentions didn't matter. He lost, his people lost, and the opposing faction seemed to control the entire universe of his till now.

And now he was telling me to never touch this world, or come near his sealing technique.

Well… As he just said, this technique was the one that kept this world hidden. So I wouldn't touch it. But that pocket world was another story.

My two people were there. And that wasn't all. I got a way to deal with these souls.

He failed? His people failed? But I wouldn't! If they failed to deal with souls, I had my way to deal with them.

At the end of his long message, he left something quite impressive.

[From our studies of this world, we found out that the merge happened between our universe and three others. A portal opened, and unluckily for us it's a one way portal, leading their forces here. We can send our own, but on the premise that someone there would open up a portal for us to come…]

This was exactly like what I experienced while dealing with that crazy Hector paragon. He opened a portal, inviting the forces of some scary dude over my Earth to kill me.

But that also meant something important… This universe didn't have other means to open more links with other universes other than this one.

This weapon… This portal world… It was their only way to attack other universes and invite their forces here.

And the next words of this dude just confirmed my guess.

[This weapon here is the only weapon they ever created. My people already raged a brutal war against their base, killing all of those who could repeat such a weapon. So their people are scattered over the universe, looking for this world like crazy. But they won't find it. And that's because we moved this world somewhere else…]

Damn! These folks… They thought about such a crazy idea then!

That Golane and others thought that I went into the hostile universe by being here. But they were wrong! [We sent this world all the way towards that infant universe. As it's infant, the level of power there is much weaker than ours. So sending this small planet there was feasible. It was a good way, the only way we got to stop them from getting their hands over this weapon]

This… So I was still inside my universe? Damn! That was… Relieving!

I was scared from the thought of being in another universe. It wasn't just related to this pocket world or this merging technique but related to the chance of getting this world discovered by the people there.

Finding such a secluded world with weak people in it was like inviting a tiger inside the house!

But as I got to know about this news, I was sure my world here was secured. Even if anyone found it, he wouldn't be a big problem, not like if a hostile race of the hostile universe found us.

The message ended with another warning from touching that pocket world. I didn't give any heed to it and focused more on what I should do from now on.

These stones… They should be kept safe. And to do so, I had to bury them again!

But before that… Shouldn't I try and memorise the entire technique? I got that it was the one responsible for turning this world into a singularity world.

Wouldn't that help my Earth then? When the apocalypse would reach its final stages, and all the worlds would merge together to form a single big world, wasn't it better to turn this big world into a singular one?

But… Wait a second… Why did I find a similarity in the way the system worked in the apocalypse with the deeds of these dirty people?

The system worked by merging worlds together, wasn't this the same concept like what these evildoers were doing?

For a moment there, my mind went blank. The system, the apocalypse, the higher ups, the unfairness we suffered from as one of the weak races, the unjust the mighty Toranks race faced against the Hescos…

There were lots of weird things going on in my universe. Just as the message ended, the world all around started to slowly change, returning to its normal state once again.

But I stayed in my place motionless for long hours, thinking about this scary idea and weird and suspicious similarity.

No way! Hell, no way! Were the system and its higher ups part of or somehow related to those evildoers?

I recalled my earlier contact with one of those higher ups. I didn't get a good impression out of them. Also, I thought again about an old doubt and question I got a long time ago; what was the point of doing all this?

Our Earth was just living on its own, in peace and prosperity, until the apocalypse came. Our lives were ruined, our people got killed, and our civilizations got lost.

We got powers, became much more powerful than ever, but that didn't mean it was all good and great. We were suffering to get such powers, facing death at any corner on this long road.
