Chapter 100 - 1243-1257

Chapter 1243 The Big Shots Are Moving Out

As the shield came to existence, it fiercely hit against the incoming Hescos. Their frontlines slammed violently against my shield, causing nothing but faint trembling waves across the surface of my shield.

Then my threads slammed them fiercer and started controlling them.

I didn't need to leave my shield at this moment. Risking anything while I got the upper hand was a foolish move that I wouldn't commit.

I simply stayed inside my shield and let the Hescos surround my shield. I left everything to my threads. And anyone who got under control got the same order; retreat inside the protective shield and wait there.

I didn't plan on using them in any fight from now on. They were one of my priceless trophies. I'd better keep them intact and use them later on at the warrior den.

Turning them into summonable warriors was the best course of action for such elite and unique troops. I might not do the same for the ground Hescos, but for the flying forces of the first race in the universe, I was willing to act patiently.

Despite fighting in such a safe way, I knew the main drawback of this way. It was so slow. If I wanted to take all of these flying Hescos under my control then I might need at least a week or so.

The enemy wouldn't stand idle all this time, watch me take control of their precious forces. Not to mention the brutal fight still going on in the pit.

I gave myself one day to take control of these Hescos before moving to reinforce Sara and the others. But unlike my expectations, two things happened almost at the same time.

The first came from Sara. she sent a distress message, asking for immediate help.

[Help! It's not going to work this way! We are trapped by forces from all layers!!! Hurry up or else we'll all die!]

I looked at her message weirdly without knowing what to say. I knew the Hescos were destined to breakthrough the lines of defences I left behind, but less than twelve hours just passed!

I thought my warriors would stay alive inside the tunnels for at least one day. For the Hescos to come from all layers in such a way meant only one thing; all the warriors I left behind were killed!

I couldn't believe this! The Hescos already sent their elites to face me here. So how come they did it?

[All layers are breached? Even the lowest fifty?]

[Everything got breached! And now the entire world is filled with densely packed enemies. The losses we are suffering are great! We can't continue like that for one more hour! You have to come and do something!]

I clenched my fists. I thought I got enough time to take more of these precious Hescos away. But if Sara was in such a dire situation, then I couldn't wait anymore.

[Which layer are you at right now?]

[I don't know! We are running like mad dogs hunted on the street!]

[You need to give me something so I can jump near you] For someone courageous and daring like Sara to be in such a state meant how bad the situation there was.

I couldn't just jump towards any layer or simply appear at the ground. I needed to appear just near her armies so I could help them fast enough.

Or else it'd end up just like she said, total annihilation of the entire armies!

I didn't truly care about these armies. After all they were races I got from the Toranks and trained them to serve such a purpose. Even if I'd lose capable soldiers, what I truly feared about was to lose the rare calibre generals.

My human race didn't have such deep roots like other high or even mediocre races in the universe. We didn't have enough generals to satisfy our needs, and most of my generals came from captured races like the Hectors.

If not for that, I wouldn't get enough generals to cover up my army needs at this moment.

I had to intervene, and I got to do it fast.

*Boom!*

However just the moment I tried to move out, a new change happened at the battlefield up front.

The shield of mine that stood erect all this time was now bombarded by a fierce wave of attacks. When I looked up, I saw a familiar scene in front of my eyes.

"It's the same fiend or whatever it is that crushed my shields before!" I instantly recognised the huge palms that left great marks behind after hitting against my shield.

And before I could do anything, I saw another familiar thing happening to my pillar and chariot; both were getting sealed at this moment.

"So you didn't throw the towel yet? Interesting..." I looked at these marks and the new ones that kept appearing in a flashy way with a bitter smile on my face.

The first race in the universe was indeed worthy of that prestigious name. Even when they got beaten up to such a degree, they still had enough depth and resources to find a way to make things difficult for me.

Right now the general situation was like this; either I'd go to save Sara and risk losing the grand five armies and many controlled Hescos and my warriors here, or stay here and let Sara and others die.

[Tell me, can you and other generals and elites make it out alone?] This was my only way of surviving this.

I didn't need to go out there and see who was attacking my shield like this. I now realised one fatal weakness that I totally missed.

In my entire kingdom and armed forces, in the entire elite circle of my people, I was the only one who got artefacts and deadly tricks up my sleeve!

The Hescos lost too much in regard to the normal soldiers and the elite ones. But considering the crop of the cream, the paragons and ultimate leaders of the grand army, they lost none.

And these folks were now starting to move out.

Chapter 1244 I'm A One Man Army... I Fear No One!

I now got why my warriors didn't stand a chance back there in the tunnels. The paragons and those grand leaders must have joined the battle, starting to change the entire map of the war.

It was without doubt bad news for me. Even if my warriors and soldiers could easily counter their soldiers, my generals couldn't hold a candle to their paragons and generals.

Those damn Hescos! They brilliantly changed all the entire war from a battle between soldiers into battle between generals and top elites. And in such regard, I was destined to lose, lose very badly actually.

I gritted my teeth. I never felt such pressure before against any enemy no matter who he was. I always found a way out, using a treasure of mine or a trick up my sleeve. Yet facing these Hescos made me feel helpless once for a long time already.

"So what if they got much stronger top forces than mine? I alone is enough to take down anything and anyone!"

The more I thought about it, the more determined I became. I fought against terrifying monsters, grand zombies, and even slaughtered a king once.

How could a few groups of paragons think this high of themselves?

If not for the restraints imposed over them by the system got slightly loosened, they'd never have the ability to stand against me in this way or cause me any trouble at all.

[I won't leave behind any of my soldiers!] Just when I was in the middle of making up my mind, I got this message from Sara.

This girl… Tsk! It wasn't the right time to act this way or to show her high standards!

[I won't be able to come here for at least six hours] I sent this warning out to her, [You have to know that the armies coming at you are clearly led by paragons and terrifying figures. You should run rather than fight!]

She remained silent for a few minutes before finally giving me her answer.

[I will do everything I can to make sure most of our forces remain alive. But after six hours by one minute you have to show yourself up here, got it?]

I could only read her strong words and inwardly sigh. She was acting fierce and that was remarkable, but she was gambling not only with her life, but with the lives of other generals with her.

Just as she was able to read my mind, she sent another message. [For the record, this isn't just my sole decision, other generals are agreeing on this. I just made a vote and they all agreed to keep fighting until the end]

Tsk! I didn't just have one stubborn Sara, but all my generals were just like her!

"Lucas…" as she and others made sure their stance was like this, it was time for me to act to help.

I knew I promised her to not show up or provide any means of support for at least six hours. But that didn't mean I shouldn't try and help them a little.

"Go there and do as I told you," I narrated the entire situation to my most loyal man before sending him straight towards the direction of the two portals.

He had to go back, inform Lily and others about the grave situation Sara and other generals and forces were facing. It was then up to them to decide what they should do to help.

If the Hescos leant towards using the most elite out of their forces to come here and crush my forces, then I'd use numbers to compete against them.

After sending Lucas away, I had no other way but to move forward.

"Time to start augmenting myself then," I started to use my class sacrifices and boosted my strength, defence, and vitality.

To make sure this fight was going to last as long as it might take, I sacrificed one billion souls just to form a grand healing shield around me. Like this, no matter what the Hescos tried to use, my forces wouldn't die.

Even with using such grand sacrifice, the shield didn't expand any further than ten miles. It was pointless to try and expand it using more sacrifices.

My plan was simple. If their top elites started to move out, then I'd form a grand elite force, looking like immortals in the enemy's eyes, and start hunting those elites.

As my body got boosted three times, I started to work at the same time over unsealing my chariot and pillar.

If I wanted to take down those elites and paragons, I needed everything I had, even to the extent of using my Libra artefact.

The unsealing process was exhausting as I was unable to freely move during my boosting process. Each sacrifice would take one hour from me to get done.

After each sacrifice, I found out that the enemy resealed my two artefacts again. So before starting the next boost, I began unsealing them again.

When I finally was done, the enemy seemed to exhaust his allowed times to use the seal process. I held my pillar in my left hand, boarded my chariot and held my glaive at my right hand.

It was time to go crazy!

I controlled my chariot and stepped outside. All these hours the shield was already sustaining the crazy attacks landing on it by whatever artefact that paragon was using.

After my past experience, I knew there wasn't such a scary friend out there. The only thing that could create such scary attacks and assault my chariot was an artefact.

The moment I got out, it was the turn of my chariot's shield to get bombarded by that scary attack. But like my pillar's shield, my artefact seemed to handle the situation quite well.

"Where the heck are you?" as I didn't want to waste anymore time, I started to increase the speed of my chariot to max. At the same time, I made my chariot move in a zigzagged path, ending up evading most of the incoming blinding attacks.

The moment I got my vision back, I started to rapidly scan the entire battlefield around.

Chapter 1245 Just Give Up, Dude!

Whoever was using this artefact was doing it from a nearby place. It wasn't that hard to identify him. After all, such a high and prestigious dude wouldn't be this close to me without having enough insurance.

"Found you!" I didn't look for more than a few minutes before finally spotting a large group of Hescos gathered up in a suspicious way.

I used my Hawk Eye skill and started to closely examine that location. From far away, and from first glance, I spotted a group of tens of thousands of Hescos doing nothing but standing around in vigilance.

They were flying Hescos to support them from the air, and I was sure they also got underground Hescos to step in and intervene if things became dangerous to their most precious dude.

Even when I got my eyes over that spot, I didn't hurry to go there. I was already fed up with getting my ass kicked and tricked by the Hescos in this clash.

So I stayed my ground and examined the entire place in great detail. After looking for a few minutes, I finally found my target.

He was a Hescos wearing a weird purple suit. Just from the unique colour of his suit I knew he was someone special.

His entire right arm was covered with a weird black flickering energy coat, resembling a big glove or something. Seeing this scene made me move instantly towards him.

And when I did, it seemed he noticed my focus on him. He tried to run alongside his forces, but it was clear that their speed wasn't that much compared to my chariot's.

They were standing just less than a mile from me. And their target of escape was a spot of ruins that had lots of forces gushing out from it.

It seemed that the place was connected safely to the back area of this entire region. He wanted to run amidst other Hescos and allied forces, to run away through the tunnels.

But these were just mere dreams. Even if he wanted to go to a place that was a few hundred metres away, with a few blinks my chariot jumped and reached his position without much surprise.

To him and other Hescos, they were shocked and scared from my sudden appearance it seemed.

I saw the close by grand gathering of forces panic. They aimed their weapons and everything they got at me and my chariot, to be all stopped by the shield.

"Protect the lord!"

"Don't let him come near here!"

"Stop him!"

Many shouts erupted, not just from the few tens of thousands of elites surrounding that paragon, but from the large number of forces nearby.

Unlike what they expected, I didn't target that dude. Why would I do that when I could simply clear all variables from the table?

I led my chariot in the next second to appear on top of that group of ruins. Without any speck of hesitation I did many things at the same time.

First I used my pillar's shield ability to seal this entire region. Then I summoned my warriors and elites at the same time.

I didn't want to use weaklings or yet to be strong warriors. So I called a million soulers and released them all over the place.

They evolved soulers amidst their ranks as well.

Then I got out my Libra artefact, and cursed that paragon.

As the judgement went by and the curse was going to get completed in a few minutes, I took this time to jump over my chariot and land over the grand gathering of elite Hescos surrounding that paragon.

I raised up my glaive with one hand. With the added bonus of strength, I could simply wave it with my right hand as if it was a mere stick.

But when it landed over these Hescos, not a single one stood in its path and survived. The moment the glaive slammed over the head of that shitless scared paragon, a fierce explosion erupted.

"You are good," I commended, "but soon enough you'll fall by my hands!"

"It's too soon to say such words," he fiercely responded. I couldn't see anything through those suits of theirs, and so I couldn't tell if he was indeed scared as I expected or he still had a trick up his sleeve.

Regardless, he was going to get cursed. All his stats would be halved. All the artefacts in his possession would lose half of their strength and abilities.

At the same time, all the forces aligned with him and helping or serving him would lose half of their strength temporarily.

That was the fierce thing about my Libra. It was a scary artefact, enough to change the destiny of anyone regardless of how might or formidable he was.

*Boom!* even if the two of us spoke, we never stopped. He tried to evade me, and at the same time I started to move my glaive around and hit him.

He was protected by some sort of a shield that was like the one I gained from boosting my defence.

Each time my glaive moved, a violent and deadly explosion erupted. He might have ended up intact and fine thanks to his shield, but his surrounding elite forces didn't have the same privilege treatment.

They got hacked fiercely by the backlash of such a bloody explosion. The attacks kept coming without pause, and he tried to break free from my assault.

No matter where he tried to go, I stuck to him like his shadow. After a few minutes of such a deadly fight, the Libra finally finished cursing him.

I got a long series of messages from my Libra. I didn't need to check any of them as the next instant that mighty and formidable looking shield got weakened all of sudden.

It was like someone just cut off the source of its power. The shield that kept challenging against my mighty strikes from my glaive without showing a single sign of weakness started to show deep cracks all over its surface.

"Just give up already, no one is going to save someone I decided to kill!" I bellowed out in a fierce way, without stopping moving my hand.

Chapter 1246 For Messi, The World Cup Champion

The next few hits released more cracks all over the surface of that shield. I didn't need to say any more to convince such an intelligent dude.

If he wanted to live, he knew what to do. If he was that loyal to his race, then he'd be buried under the ground in less than few more strikes.

No matter who was trying to come here in rescue, they wouldn't get enough time to get here and save him before his shield would break.

And the moment his shield would be eliminated, his life would be in my hands.

I had an experience before when dealing with paragons. Most of them were just stubborn enough to prefer to die than to concede to me.

Only Isac was the exception to succumb and lower her head and join me. She paid a hefty price for such a decision, and I knew if any Hescos paragon or another race paragon wanted to take the same decision and be my lackie, he or she would have to pay a similar price as well.

Trying to use my threads and such methods wouldn't do. I tried it many times before and it failed.

From what I understood from Isac back then, the position of paragon wasn't simple. The system would enforce some sort of limitation over these paragons. And changing allegiance wasn't that simple at all.

I waited and watched that paragon dude trying his best to last longer. But in less than half a minute, the entire shield of his got smashed to tiny pieces.

"Time to face reality, submit to me or die!" I raised my glaive as hard as I could and intended to deliver a killing blow to him.

If he wanted to survive, he had to follow me and betray his race. If not, he'd die right here and now.

"Don't! Stop! I concede! I chose to follow you! Stop!" just before I'd sway my glaive down over his head, that dude suddenly threw in the towel, screamed like a b*tch and asked for mercy.

His act took me by surprise. I didn't know why but it felt like this dude was still green and cowardly.

"Sign this contract then," I coldly said, waved my hand and delivered a high grade contract for him to sign. At the same time, I didn't move my glaive from its position in midair.

If that paragon was bluffing and trying to trick me to do something, then at the first sign of his betrayal I'd cut his head clean.

Yet against my worries, that paragon hurriedly signed the contract. When he did, he issued a heart curdling scream while I watched his arm get chopped off.

It seemed the price any paragon would pay to join me would be this severe. Isac lost an arm before, and it seemed this was the general price any paragon would pay.

He kept screaming like this while his hand clutched over the contract. Even if he signed it, before his punishment would be delivered, the contract wouldn't get activated.

His screams lasted for a few minutes. During which I noticed that all the forces around stopped in their tracks, looking towards my direction in utter silence.

I didn't feel any threat coming from them. If I felt anything then it'd be shock and disdain.

They got all the right to feel so. Such a high and mighty figure, a paragon candidate of their race, one who was supposed to compete over the throne of their race in the entire apocalypse, just acted this low and cowardly accepted my rule.

I didn't spare them any glance. I was glad I found such a coward and ended up roping him in.

A coward or not, he was a capable dude. I wasn't after his leadership traits. Just from the pathetic act he showed just now I didn't hold much on his future accomplishments at my kingdom and army.

Surrendering to me wasn't an act of cowardice, but the way to surrender to me was. If he stood erect, held his head high, kept his arrogance and self respect while surrendering to me then I'd take him for being courageous.

But he screamed and cried for mercy, acting like a pussy and not a real man. I didn't know how such a coward and weak boned dude ended up being one of the mighty paragons in the Hector race.

Aside from anything else, I was after his belongings as a paragon and not his strength. I knew he was that bastard who kept trying to seal my stuff. And I wanted that awesome treasure he got and other artefacts as well.

"Come with me," but taking out all of his belongings was something left for later. For now, I had to do everything I could and get more paragons and capable generals under my lead.

Yet before I'd move a single muscle, I heard a thunderous shout coming from the distance.

"Let go of our leader, or else you'll die here!"

I turned towards the direction such a shout came from. And there I spotted a grand gathering of a mixed army of flying, ground, and underground Hescos coming towards me in a formidable looking array.

Their number was in hundreds of thousands, and they looked as crazy and brave as any mighty soldier should be.

I looked at them using my Hawk Eye skill. "It seems your people really want to save you," I snorted when I spotted at least five red suited dudes coming in the mixture of those hundreds of thousands.

If a purple suited individuals would be paragons, then red ones might be generals or capable individuals in the Hescos armies.

Taking control of a single one of them was worth more than a hundred ones like this coward next to me. Wars would be won by soldiers led by great generals. And I truly respected any courageous generals more than just rich and spoiled brat like the one next to me.

Chapter 1247 Messi, The World Cup Champion - Part 2

As they were generals, I didn't need to reason with them using words or personal might. I controlled my chariot, flew directly towards them, moving in a direct path to welcome their approach.

Aside from them being a hot cake in my eyes, a trophy I wouldn't say no to acquire, I wanted to go over them and head towards the place they came from.

I was lucky to find such a paragon nearby. But I doubted I'd find another paragon this easily. The one who kept hammering my shields using his artefact stopped attacking. And that meant one thing; he already started to run away for his life.

The only lead I got was these generals. In such distressed times, the only place that could harbour such a big gathering of generals and elite soldiers would be the main base of the enemy.

And I'd safely assume the presence of at least a couple of paragons over there to supervise over the entire progress of this war.

As I decided to take them under my wing, I instantly put away everything in my hand and started to use my techniques with both hands.

At the same time I spread tons of bones around. I wanted to push my techniques to the max, ending up wrapping this entire force in the shortest amount of time possible.

My sudden reaction instantly took them by surprise. These generals and soldiers seemed to expect my run for my life. Least they knew they just delivered themselves into the mouth of the lion.

I didn't act any polite, and started controlling all of them using my threads. As my chariot passed through them, whoever stood in my path was knocked away and fell to the ground.

Even those didn't escape the fate of getting controlled by my threads. After less than ten minutes, the entire shocking and terrifying forces of the Hescos ended up in my clutches.

Even the ones who were underground didn't escape such fate. They all got under my control, and I forced them all to sign a loyalty contract with me.

Dealing with anyone but a paragon was a breeze for me. No matter how strong or well prepared one was, he'd end up falling under my thread control, signing a contract in the end.

As I controlled them all, I gave the order to retreat all the way back to the initial group of shields around the hole opening.

I waited for this long to gain control over these generals and elites. I wouldn't risk losing any under any circumstance.

If not for me not knowing the precise location of the portal leading to Earth, and I didn't want to waste time in doing the trip out there using the staff, I'd better be more reassured and send them over to Earth.

Yet that group of shields over the hole opening was already a secure zone in this massive war. I sent them off, and headed towards the direction of the main base.

"What's your name?" as I didn't see anything for tens of miles ahead, I had to ask this cowardice paragon about the information regarding their formations and line up.

"I'm Matte," he said, in a shaky tone that showed how scared this dude was.

"Tell me, Matte, where is the main base of the Hectors in this region?" I spoke with a smile that wasn't like one.

He was a paragon, one of the highest authority individuals in the Hescos race here. If someone would know about the location of the main base, the routes of their escape, and much more knowledge, then it'd be him.

"Well…" his tone shook a little before my face changed. I took out my glaive, held it upside down, took out a random fabric and started to clean it from the non-existent dust or blood stain.

When he saw my glaive, his body trembled. It was a shame that I couldn't see his face or else I'd have seen a priceless look of fear over there.

"I… I know little information about the main base and the ongoing operation… I believe… I believe I can't be of any help to you, sir."

"Matte… Oh my poor little Matte… Do you know how much I hate liars and tricksters?" I stopped wiping my glaive, rotated it in circles before fiercely slamming it against the back of my chariot, "even if it was a paragon, I won't hesitate to kill him for lying to me."

My eyes, tone, and attitude were all icy cold. I glared at him with no shred of mercy or apprehension to his current tough position.

As he became my man, he had to fulfil his duties without looking back to the past. I waited and didn't say more. And when a few minutes passed without saying anything, I raised my glaive over my head, with the intention of cutting him into pieces.

"Wait… Wait… I'll tell you what you want to know…" once he saw the same scary glaive rise high up in the air, that Matte was this close from pissing on himself.

"I need to know everything," I coldly said, without moving my glaive away from the air.

"Then… Can you please move this away?" I couldn't see his face, but it seemed he would have an ashen white face at this moment.

His trauma from my glaive seemed to go much deeper than I expected.

"I won't move it away until I'm satisfied with your answers," I didn't show him any speck of mercy and waited for him to spill out all the beans he got.

Under the threat of my glaive, Matte started to speak about what he knew.

I didn't need to ask anything and kept glaring at him. As I kept my silence, he kept speaking and telling everything he knew about the general layout of the Hescos forces here.

And when I didn't say anything, he went from just telling me general information into giving me secrets and many details about the Hescos way of planning this war from the start.

Chapter 1248 For Messi, The World Cup Champion - Part 3

The more I heard, the more inwardly shocked I became. "Tsk! These Hescos truly live up to their name as the first race in the universe," I muttered to myself while attentively listening to every word coming out from this coward's mouth.

According to the tales he told me, the Hescos were forming an alliance with the angels supervising over my world apocalypse. They collected all the information they could about me and formed a grand plan depending on my points of weaknesses.

They knew about my usual style of fight, and knew that despite being strong as a sole person, I lacked strong powerhouses by my side.

By his description, my strongest and weakest point was the acquisition of different artefacts. Aside from them, I was powerless in their eyes.

So they planned everything from the start to take this point of strength away and turn it into a weakness instead.

I have to admit, they thoroughly studied me in such a short amount of time and managed to spot my fatal weakness.

The artefact in his possession was considered the weapon against my Achilles heel. They depended on sealing my artefacts to render all my artefacts useless.

They did a great job in that for sure. That sealing artefact gave me quite the headache already.

And that wasn't all!

They also got another artefact they didn't use yet. By what he said, this one had the ability to seal up space.

They didn't like my staff's ability to store locations and allow me to jump all over the world.

My staff wasn't an artefact, but it was a very crucial piece of gear in my arsenal.

If they managed to seal the space all over me, then I wouldn't be able to jump and help my forces or escape with my life.

As for that artefact which shattered my group of shields before, it was held by a paragon as expected. That dude was in the main base, which Matte told me about its location.

When I learnt about that, I knew why he tried to run towards the tunnels when I tried to catch him.

The base was underground! And as I guessed it before, the entire defensive area was remodelled by the help of lots of underground Hescos.

The Hescos turned this zone into such a complicated defensive zone. I asked him about how they managed to accurately pinpoint my location not only once, but twice.

He told me they used the help of someone in their race, with the gift of foresight. I thought about this dilemma before, and ended up with the explanation that they might have done something to tamper with my tickets opening.

But they didn't. As he told me, it was practically impossible for anyone to interfere with the tickets.

As for the location of that base, it was at a place I'd never expected at all; just around the hole opening!

It was hundreds of metres below that safe area I conquered from before. At this moment I knew why the Hescos kept attacking me in such a fervent way even when they were losing too much.

It turned out that they didn't want me to control that region, or else their headquarters would be jeopardised.

It was in a place I'd never expected. When I thought about it, it made quite sense.

After all they planned everything to trap me inside that pit and rain down hell over me and my forces.

My sudden move towards the surface was pretty unexpected to them it seemed. They didn't plan that much ahead in the case I managed to infiltrate their surface area of defence.

As for the entrance to that base, it was from the pit itself. The highest layers there were linked directly to the base, even considered part of it.

The number of forces they gathered was already too much, more than what I expected. They still got tons of forces stationed outside the defensive zone, waiting for a chance to join this war.

Even if they tried to do things in haste, they failed to do everything they wanted. The base they built couldn't accommodate all the forces they assembled here.

Per his words, the Hescos gathered up all the paragons in this world, all the generals and capable forces, and even their controlled races in this world.

These races were like the Berserkers and Selvators who ended up under my clutches.

The amount gathered was enough to be described as most of the Hescos in this world. I didn't know what to say. I knew they'd amass a big force, but not to the degree of summoning most of their forces in such a way.

They used many treasures to facilitate the movement of their scattered forces from all over the world to here. That meant they got much more force than I hoped for.

The good piece of news amidst all this was that they already gathered up their paragons and capable generals in the base. As for these forces, they were led by second rate leaders and generals.

Yet even if they were considered second rate, I wouldn't underestimate them too much. They just had to cross a big distance and walk through a devastated ground to reach the base and the places of the big fights.

The tunnels connecting the layers in the pit with the surface here didn't extend beyond the base. So these forces didn't have any access to the hot spots right now.

But I'd not lower my guard. Even if they'd show up late, they'd still come. And when they would, the line of reinforcement would be established, delivering an endless supply of forces towards here.

In short, I'd have little time to act. And I had to strike hard to secure the paragons and generals, or kill most of them.

Once I realised this, I hurried up and started flying back to the base.

I tried first to use my staff, yet the space was sealed. I didn't feel any panic. As I knew the paragons and generals wouldn't send for the outer endless armies to come here yet per Matte confirmation.

Chapter 1249 For Messi, The World Cup Champion 4

They'd only ask for them to come here in two conditions. First I managed to kill most of their forces here, or their base would get attacked.

The distance from their place to here would take a few hours to cross. And if I put into consideration the aftermath of my pillar's brutal attack, then they might take double or even triple this duration.

I'd give myself ten hours. If I couldn't end up everything here by then, I'd better prepare for retreat.

Fighting a useless battle while the enemy still had their head ups alive wasn't my style of doing things.

I thought about gathering up my scattered forces here using my horn. But after seriously considering this, I refrained from doing so.

If I did, the enemy would get alarmed. I wanted the enemy to keep focusing over the scattered battles here and lower his guard against me.

I pushed my chariot to travel fast. Per Matte's words, the paragon with that scary offensive artefact would have retreated back to the base.

He didn't speak well about any paragon like himself. He kept complaining about how soft bones, cowardly, and useless they were.

I didn't put any of his words in my head. If a coward like him was speaking bad about others, why would I believe his words then?

And I wouldn't believe that the descendants of the top race in the universe would be such useless and cowards.

They were paragons, supposedly the future leaders of this race. If they were this useless, then how come they kept themselves on the throne this long.

As I flew back to the opening of that hole, I started to examine the world around me, trying to keep myself busy from the endless complaints coming from Matte's mouth.

I didn't order him to shut up, as he might spill something useful in the middle of such bullshit.

The fights going on all over the place were still hot. My side was winning on many fronts. And at places they didn't have the upper hand, they weren't doing that bad either.

The Hescos weren't coming up in large numbers like before as they got most of their forces focused on the pit. That made most of the fights around the surface much easier to handle than before.

When I got near the hole opening in less than half an hour, I saw the shields out there were still holding up.

There were no hostile forces near the shield zone out there. The entire area looked quite peaceful as if it wasn't on top of the most important enemy's spot.

"Look at how scared they are! They didn't even dare to send anyone to try to take that region of yours, afraid to attract you here and make you notice the presence of their base."

Matte added his touch, but to me this wasn't an act of cowardice. They were scheming, and the one leading this entire war must be someone unique.

Once I got into that shield zone, I looked at the remaining forces there. Lucas led most of the forces here out to crush the remaining forces of Hescos.

He didn't take all, leaving behind just enough to guard and defend this zone.

My forces here were already scarce and not enough to be used in anything. Plus I didn't want to alarm the enemy by taking them down with me.

I had to use other forces than them. If I got warriors and let them feed up on stat crystals, then the enemy would be alarmed.

Just the presence of my chariot was enough to make them feel a little uneasy. So I kept flying forward without turning around or pausing, and went directly towards the pit opening.

If they saw me, and I was sure they did, they'd mistake my appearance as an attempt to help my entrapped forces down below.

They'd never think that I uncovered the mystery behind their hidden base.

"Tell me when I'm in front of the right layers," I said to Matte, without even looking at him, "and don't point towards it or do anything sudden. Just tell me in a low tone, got it?"

"Yes boss!"

"Call me lord, not boss," I rolled my eyes while the grand opening was drawing nearer.

"Sure, you are my lord and my boss, you are whatever you want me to call you with."

I sighed and ignored the rubbish he kept sprouting while considering what I should do next.

I stopped just in front of the hole, while an idea appeared in my mind.

Didn't I kill enough Hescos so far? What if I used their souls and started summoning them instead? Would they appear with their suits or without it?

I knew that most of the strength and might the Hescos had was related to their suits. According to what I learnt before, any Hescos would get his suit born over his body from his first moment of life.

Their genes were different. They carried something that enabled the suits to get formed over their bodies from the first second of their lives.

But that was considering the normally born Hescos. I didn't know if I'd be that lucky to get the Hescos with their suits or not.

If not, then it wasn't worth it. Aside from these tyrannical and special suits, the Hescos paled in comparison to other races in my eyes.

As I stood in front of the vast edge that looked like a colossal monster was trying to devour me, I opened my class and checked the list of souls there.

"I got it!" I noticed that the list of these souls increased. I realised that the races I killed in this world were added to that list.

And when I read through, I finally noticed the name of Hescos.

I instantly tried to form warriors based on the Hescos soul. And the moment I did, I got long messages that startled me.

[You selected to make warriors from the Hescos soul]

[Special genes are located inside the Hescos race soul]

[You got three choices to select from]

Chapter 1250 For Messi, The World Cup Champion Part 5

[The first choice: You can pay ten thousand souls and form a warrior of the Hescos race. That warrior will have his flesh without any addition of anything]

[The second choice: You can pay two hundred thousand souls and get a randomly selected warrior of the Hescos race. That warrior will have his genes activated, and your end result will be randomly selected by the system]

[The third choice: You can pay five hundred thousand souls and get one of the four main types of the Hescos race. You can choose between ground Hescos, underground Hescos, flying Hescos, and genius Hescos]

[What will you choose?]

I looked up at these messages, not knowing what I should say. "Fourth type Hescos? What does a genius Hescos even mean?" I muttered in doubt before turning to look at Matte.

"What?" That kid seemed very scared of me. I inwardly sighed. I finally got one paragon of the Hescos, and to my luck it turned out to be such a pussy.

"Does your race have four types?" I glared at him, trying to see if he was going to tell the truth or lie.

"Of course, we got the flying, ground, underground, and badass Hescos!" In a rare moment, he seemed a little proud of what he just said.

"What does that fourth one mean? That badass or genius one?" I didn't get what I wanted to know. So I waited for him to explain things over.

And he started to speak in much pride. If not for his fear from me, I doubted he'd even act arrogant or something like that.

From what he said, I realised what the fourth type meant. "I see…" my eyes shone when I heard what he said.

The fourth type of Hescos was related to the seeds of generals and paragons, smart people who would handle complicated things of that race.

Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom

Per what he said, the ones who thought about such grandiose and complicated defensive structures were part of this type. And according to him, such a type was already rare and not easily found.

The entire race placed much importance on such people. Once found, anyone would have his life changed for better.

Even if such talent came from a low ranked family in the Hescos race, or even if they came from a poor background, that didn't matter.

Matte kept complaining about this, saying how unfair it was for such useless folks to get such grand treatment, one they'd never have dreamed about before getting their talent detected.

I didn't care about his useless jealousy. In fact, he was the embodiment of such unfairness in the world.

He was born into a mighty and famous family, one that secured his future from day one. Such a useless and cowardly dude ended up being a prestigious paragon of such a mighty race.

If he was in my kingdom, if he was part of my people, he'd have ended up dead in the bellies of the monsters of the apocalypse a long time ago!

Such people had no place in my kingdom. If not for the secrets he knew and the artefact and treasures he had, I'd prefer to kill him already.

"It's still too pricey…" I looked at the scary five hundred thousand price of souls to pay to get such a single one of these races. "If I got enough luck, then I'd be able to get one of these special Hescos out of a hundred summons."

I decided to give it a go with the second option. Paying two hundred thousand souls still pained me. But I have no other choice here.

If I selected the cheapest one, then I'd end up with Hescos without their suits. I was curious to know how the Hescos really looked like, but I'd never waste my souls right now on such a thing.

As for the third option, it was out of the question right now.

"I select the second choice," I slowly said, while waiting in anticipation for the end result of this, "Pay twenty billion souls to get these Hescos here."

I decided to use such a grand number of my soul's right now. I still got much more than that. But I wanted to know how useful these Hescos truly were.

If they proved to be useful, then I'd mass produce them. If not, then it'd be much better to depend on my techniques and contracts to get more of these Hescos.

After all, paying such a price of souls still hurts me nonetheless.

[Twenty billion souls are deducted]

[Twenty thousand Hescos will be randomly created]

-n0ve1,com [Please check your inventory]

The process didn't take more than one minute to end. I looked first at my soul number, and saw twenty billion soul counts missing from there.

"It hurts more than I expected," I touched my chest, where my heart was located. It really pained me, but I didn't have any other choice.

Aside from other warriors, I wanted to have these Hescos for myself. If they proved to be useful, then I'd make them my first choice in making warriors.

Their prices were much more than the fallen gods. And my fallen gods were scary already.

"Let's test it out then," I opened my inventory next, while trying to keep my mind occupied by looking at the tokens inside my inventory.

I took one out, and the next moment a Hescos appeared in front of my eyes.

"This… How come one of the legendary Hescos is here?!!!" Just as Hescos appeared, Matte screamed out in fright as he retreated a couple of steps backwards.

It seemed just from his reaction that he feared the ones he called legendary Hescos to the same degree he feared me, or even a little more.

And when I examined the new Hescos in front of me, I also got the same kind of shock.

The Hescos I met so far were considered giants, just like Bulltors and Selvators. They were giants, and something told me that they looked that way thanks to their suits.

Chapter 1251 For Messi, The World Cup Champion Part 6

The dude that appeared in front of me right now was different. He was a giant, but it made other Hescos look mediocre in comparison.

This dude was at least ten metres in length, five in width, and he looked ferocious. The suit he wore was white in colour, but it gave off a scary presence, much more than the red suits of the generals I saw before.

I knew the basic colour of the suits of the Hescos was black, and the highest I met so far was purple. But this one was white, and for a reason it looked more dangerous than the other types of suits.

"Lord," the moment he appeared, he knelt on the back of my chariot in respect. I sized him up and down before asking:

"Tell me, what abilities do you have? And what type of Hescos do you belong to?"

"Answering my lord, I belong to the flying Hescos. And I can use nothing right now. I need to consume ten thousand stat points at least to use the basic skills of mine. If the lord is generous and gives me one hundred thousand stat points, then I can use the ten skills of mine available to me at this stage, including two ultimate attacks."

"Interesting," my eyes shone brightly before turning to the sacred Matte. "What does a legendary Hescos mean?"

He recognised this Hescos on the spot, making me wonder what was different and special about him.

"L… Lord… How did you… How did you get such a scary dude? Where did it come from?"

"Just answer my questions, shall you?" I gave him a smile that wasn't one.

Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom

We weren't friends to begin with, and he didn't get any respect from me. Besides, this was considered one of my most secretive things. I never told anyone about my abilities before, and would never do that.

"Ahem…" he cleared his throat, looked at that grand Hescos kneeling in front of me like a small hill and then turned to look at me before saying: "Legendary Hescos are the origin of our race. They were the ones who started our legendary tale in the universe."

"But I never saw something like that before," I casually pointed my glaive at the dude kneeling in front of me. Such a simple move gave Matte a fright, making him jump for more steps back.

"This… We didn't have any of the legendary Hescos anymore. Or else we won't call them legendary, right?"

"What do you mean?" the words he said didn't explain anything. Instead, they added more vagueness and doubt to the entire matter.

"Well… Our genes got mixed with another race a long time ago. I'm not well aware of everything, but our legendary race has a problem or production from the start. We can't increase our numbers as fast as other big races in the universe. So…"

I got what he meant. "The ancestors of yours selected a suitable race and bred with them?" I asked, and he nodded. Seeing his short necked suit tilt slightly to the front was a bit funny to be honest.

"We had to solve that problem, or else by time, other races would end up winning us in terms of numbers alone," he sighed, before adding, "so we mated and bred with that foreign race, and gradually our genes got polluted by theirs. As they got the upper hand in production issues, they became most of our race, and their genes dominated ours."

"They are considered your secondary ancestors then?"

"Lord can say so," he paused, "but that race had nothing much special about them. They only can breed much faster and better than us, and they looked like us as legends tell."

"I see…" I got what he meant by that. After tens of thousands of years or even more, their pure genes got mixed, diluted, polluted, and eventually vanished slightly from their bodies.

That explained why there was such a clear difference in physique between this dude kneeling in front of me and that scared Matte.

The two were Hescos, but they didn't anything like each other.

It seemed that my class dealt with the pure genes of races, purifying any mixed genes like what happened here.

"Hahahaha!" out of the blue I laughed. If the leaders of the Hescos learnt about this, what would their reaction be?

Would they try to strike a deal with me? Would they envy me? Hahahaha! Just thinking about their shock made me laugh for a minute or so.

"Here, take these stat crystals and use them," I said to that dude, "from now on, you are going to be called the Alpha, the leader of my Hescos squad."

"Thanks lord for your generosity," he simply touched the small pile of stat crystals I took out, and almost half of them vanished and turned into dust.

But that didn't attract my attention. He took more than what he asked for, but then a glaring light came out from his suit, and few changes started.

First, the size of his suit changed. The suit started to slowly grow in size, as if it was a dried up sponge that came in contact with water.

The initial ten metres height Hescos turned in less than a minute into double such size. And the previously white suit started to show changes as well.

The whiteness started to glow, as if it was some sort of a lamp connected to a source of electricity and lit up. At the same time, the suit started to show symbols and lines, growing up through it like it was a seed that got in touch with water and nutrients.

I watched different coloured symbols appear, starting up faint then gradually they became darker in colour.

These symbols didn't look like they were drawn over the suit, but they appeared as if someone used a knife and engraved them over there.

All the lines were silver and gold in colour, while the symbols ranged between green, red, orange, purple, and black.

The most symbols out there were green in colour.

Chapter 1252 Strengthening My Legendary Hescos

When all these things happened, and when I thought that suit finished up its evolution process, new changes happened.

The flying Hescos had two wings behind their backs, but this Alpha had four pairs of great golden and silver wings on his back. At the same time, a grand double edged battle axe appeared all of sudden in his hand.

That axe alone gave him a frightening appearance, not to mention his aura was already scary and intimidating. I looked at him while drooling for more.

Right now all the pain I felt before from spending all these souls vanished. I wanted more, I wanted much more of these Hescos.

Just imagining a grand army of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions made my heart thumb fiercely in my chest.

I'd do anything in my power to slowly grow up my special army of these Hescos. And just when I was lost in the middle of my rashed up thoughts, I heard the calm and deep voice of Alpha saying:

"Lord, thanks for your generosity and kindness. I gained all the skills and levelled them up till the limit of this apocalypse. Do you want me to give a demonstration?"

Damn! I forgot the ten skills he told me about before!

"Show me," with much expectations, I watched him perform the ten skills. Most of these skills came to boost his speed and mobility, with two for strength as he launched one cone shaped devastating attack and one like a tornado that kept moving around.

As for the final skill, it was really scary! The sky dimmed while thick tongues of thunder danced, not in the sky but over the edges of his hammer and the terrifying attack that encompassed an area of a few miles for a few minutes.

I looked at such a fierce attack and imagined for a moment the army in my inventory of these legendary Hescos lining up together and unleashing such deadly attacks at the same time.

It'd be epic!

"Go inside for now," I didn't hesitate to take him back, take more out and started to give them stat crystals to feed on.

My reserve of stat crystals was already high. But after satisfying the needs of my newly formed warriors, I ended up losing almost half of that reserve!

But I didn't feel any pain from it. Such price was nothing compared to the twenty thousand deadly legendary Hescos I had.

My top warriors before were the fallen gods and soulers. The former were responsible for dealing devastating attacks from time to time, and they were enough to handle any strong foe or formidable obstacle.

As for the soulers, they were killing machines against any ground forces. But they paled in terms of fighting against flying enemies.

From now on, my signature troops would be these legendary Hescos. I got almost five thousand flying legendary Hescos, six thousand underground ones, and almost nine thousand of the ground legendary Hescos.

The underground legendary Hescos didn't have that hammer, but very intimidating two spears that could pierce through literally anything in their path.

They had propellers at their backs to increase their speed to a terrifying degree.

As for the ground legendary Hescos, they got a heavy shield and a fierce glaive. They looked very terrifying when they used their ultimate attacks. And to my surprise, they got two ultimate skills and not one.

One skill was used in offence, and the other one was like an enhanced version of my shield bearers defensive combined skill.

Out of the twenty thousand legendary Hescos, I only gained ten genius type ones. These teens were standing in front of me right now, and I was eager to know more about them and their abilities.

"So you're telling me you can lead armies, devise plans, and think about ways to overcome any obstacle and ensure my victory?" I knew such claims might seem overbearing, but I felt nothing like arrogance in their tone.

Each one of them had their names, and they even selected one of them to be the leader. That dude was called Jack, and he was the one responsible for speaking with me on their behalf.

They looked disciplined, and their attitude was humble and yet filled with endless confidence. I sized them up and down, compared them to the other legendary Hescos of mine, or other Hescos I met before.

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 Placing someone like Matte in a comparison with them looked unfair. But even the strongest legendary Hescos I gained paled in comparison with these ten.

They looked special in some way I couldn't describe. They gave me this feeling, that no battle would be lost if they led the armies, no matter who their enemies were.

"Yes lord, just give us any army to lead and we will prove our worth to you," this Jack said before adding, "in addition to that, any problem lord might face can be handled by us. No matter what, be it a life issue, political problems, or even research matters... We can solve it all."

His tone was low and his way of speaking was collected and calm. He didn't look anyway like an excited dude or an arrogant one.

He was just telling the truth, as simple and shocking it might be.

"I'll put you to test later on," I knew this wasn't their moment to show their worth. This war was already in its last dying breaths. What was left was for me to crush the base down below, and find a way to gather up enough forces to defend this spot of the world.

Taking out the endless Hescos out there was a mere dream if I wanted to do it in a short time. My role here would be over the moment this base was taken and my forces controlled everything.

Then a long lasting brutal defensive battle would last for months. I'd just retreat back to Earth and keep sending out forces here to help in defending this zone.

Chapter 1253 Assaulting The Main Base

When the Hescos would lose enough, then it'd be time to push forward and claim a huge number of lands. Before this, I had to be patient and accept such a long war of attrition.

I planned to put these ten to use under Lily and Isac lead. The latter two would be responsible for testing the abilities of these ten, and I might also fetch one to old Gan and let him assess him at the research department.

"Stay by my side for now," I said before starting to go down the hole. I spent almost one hour enhancing and checking over my legendary Hescos.

At first I was worried that my enemies down below would notice what I was doing. But when I saw how scary these legendary Hescos were, I didn't fear anything.

If the Hescos knew, what could they possibly do? Try to run away? If they could, then they would have run away a long time ago when things started to grow out of control.

According to Matte's words from before, there was no direct path linking the base here with the outer world. They couldn't run away and the remaining forces here weren't enough to secure their travel in the middle of my forces outside.

Their only hope for survival lay in the far away forces coming towards here. I held many doubts before about crushing that base before the arrival of these endless reinforcements.

But after seeing how capable these legendary Hescos were, all my doubts went into oblivion.

I have nothing to fear right now. Be it an underground base or heavily fortified one, nothing would stop me.

And the main reason behind this lies in the six thousand underground legendary Hescos whom I instantly summoned on the surface while floating on top of the hole.

"Start digging a grand path towards the hidden base below," I said in a low tone, but it was enough to make anyone hearing me right now tremble in fear.

I watched the thousands of legendary Hescos activate their drilling skills and start digging the ground like it was made up of tofu.

Their skills were mostly dedicated to digging the ground, with two fighting skills and one ultimate skill that could both dig the ground for thousands of metres or crush any strong defence no matter how sturdy it was.

This ultimate skill would add an element of sharpness and fierceness to the edges of their spears. When used, their spears would turn into gigantic shadows that would extend for a hundred metres, acting like it had an engine that would rotate them.

That was enough to crush anything no matter what. I had a feeling that my chariot shield would show deep cracks if such technique was used on it, or even shatter if it didn't have enough energy supporting it.

But right now, and with the grand number of legendary Hescos working, I didn't need them to use any ultimate skill. The ground kept descending tens of metres with each strike of their spears, and in a matter of ten minutes, a hole with a depth of two thousand metres was formed.

It was on par with the vastness of the opening of the pit hole.

The few thousand legendary Hescos gave me the impression that they'd be able to dig another form of that complicated underground fortress if they got days.

Seeing them work in such a way made me realise how the Hescos initially managed to build up such a complicated way in a few days. If I got one hundred thousand legendary Hescos, I could build one in one day!

*Rumble!*

​ When they got near that base, the ground fell and the grand structure of the underground base appeared. The dirt and rock fell, revealing a complicated structure of tunnels, rooms, and even fortified zones.

"Where is the main headquarters here?" The entire place was at least a few miles in radius. I couldn't just walk around and waste time while my target would run for their lives.

They got nowhere to go, but I'd hate to chase them around when I spent all this effort to find them.

If I was alone, then I'd scatter my warriors all over the place while searching for the heads of the Hescos manually and personally.

But why would I do that when I got a tour guide next to me?

"There are around five main places, there, there, and there," he started to point at five spots. When I examined these, I found tons of forces guarding these places.

Each place was a vast room with many tunnels coming out from it and linking the room with other places. It made sense to be the main headquarters.

"Go and kill everyone," as this was the last decisive battle of the entire war, I called forth my soulers and let them be led by Lucas.

At the same time, I took out the twenty thousand legendary Hescos and divided them into five main groups, each led by two of the genius legendary Hescos.

As I spread them all over the place, I started to use my techniques. Despite the legendary Hescos being overbearing, they were still quite expensive.

I'd never believe the Hescos would gather up weaklings to guard their main base. All the forces here should be elites, the top fighters in the entire Hescos armies.

I sent everything to the ground and kept only one thousand legendary Hescos led by the Alpha dude. At the same time, I kept one hundred thousand soulers and five thousand fallen gods.

I called these from the scattered battlefields all over the place. I didn't know if I took them from the pit hole or the surface, and that didn't matter anymore.

This might be the main base of the Hescos, but as it was dug under the ground, they didn't have much room to deploy enough forces to guard this place.

So it made sense to find a few troops out there. I estimated the total forces there to be less than a million. Using my couple of million soulers alone was an overkill.

Not to mention I was also using the brutal legendary Hescos and the techniques of mine.

Chapter 1254 He Finally Appeared!

As doomsday landed over their heads, I started to closely examine the five spots Matte pointed at.

As expected, each spot had at least ten generals and a couple paragons. "Your people have too many paragon candidates in this world," I noticed the total number of paragons I saw was close to twenty.

In my world, the number of paragon candidates was always around five. I only saw such a large number in one race before; the Hectors.

"We have many elites and big families to choose from," Matte was still scared of the legendary Hescos, so he kept his distance from me.

Since I summoned the legendary Hescos and Matte's legs kept trembling as if he was about to piss himself out of fear.

"Tsk! Such a strong race and all it brought out is such useless folks," I couldn't help but inwardly sigh. When I looked at these five spots, I was shocked to see similar ones to Matte out there.

In fact the ones I counted as paragons were those with shaking legs or retreating with their backs behind the walls.

If a good seed was down there, then his calibre would appear in the middle of such a stressful situation.

The good ones with good potential would shine at times of distress. Or else when would they show up their worth?

All the ones who stood firm and kept spreading orders in calm and collected demeanour were the ones who wore red suits, mostly generals.

As for the purple suits, they were all showing signs of fear just like Matte. Sigh! Even in the number one race, favouritism of the big families got over the capable talents like these generals.

Living in peace and prosperity had their devastating effect, even of such a mighty and formidable race.

Even when I saw this, I never lowered my guard. A wounded lion would still be a ferocious beast. And I'd never believe such a mighty race would be void of great talents amidst their paragons.

But as I confirmed the size and locations of my trophy, I started to gather up my rewards.

I selected the closest location and instantly flashed towards it.

"Stop him!"

"Attack with everything you can!"

"Just hold on, reinforcements are on the way!"

Just as I went closer, many angry shouts roared from down below. They all came from generals, as they led everyone around in this room to welcome me.

But who could stand a chance against my glaive? I simply crashed everyone away, taking care to not harm my future capable generals, before attacking the two paragons here.

The two had shields just like what Matte had. "Surrender or die!" I kept hammering that shield without showing any mercy. At the same time, I let my little personal army to clash and stop the enraged Hescos and generals.

I made sure to warn them from killing too much, only they had to wound them. I had my technique running as I controlled it using my left hand. So all of them would end up serving me.

"I concede!"

"I surrender! Don't kill me!"

The two were indeed weaklings and cowards, not much better than Matte. I didn't spare them another glance while throwing two contracts in their direction.

I'd better spend my time to gain more of the Hescos around than getting these useless bunch of spoiled brats. I still couldn't believe how such a high race would have these useless kids at the top of the chain of command and authority.

If all the Hescos were like that, then that race wouldn't last for more than a few decades or at most a century.

Yet I knew of someone who had a terrifying artefact. I doubted such a dude would be like these weaklings.

All I saw wearing purple coloured suits were scared and petrified in their spots out of fear. So that dude wasn't in any of the five rooms I sat my gaze upon.

But where could he run to? The entire place got exposed, and this base was already in my grasp. Sooner or later, that dude would appear and expose himself.

After gaining control of these two useless paragons, I waited for a few minutes before taking control of the generals and most of the elite forces in the room and tunnels connected to it.

Then I moved out after letting the two paragons and the generals board my chariot.

I gained twelve generals just from this room alone. If my luck was the same as the other rooms, then my total gain from this base alone was enough to make me quite satisfied.

As for these useless paragons, I'd empty them off their treasures and artefacts first before throwing them at my second Earth world to live there without causing any trouble.

These folks should be left at home, live a life of peace and not take any charge of anything.

The next two rooms were the same. I got tons of forces, two and three paragons from each of these two rooms, and a total of forty-two generals so far.

Seeing the red suits standing in front of me made me evilly grin.

​ As I gained their support, many started to ask freely about the legendary Hescos. It seemed even to these capable generals, the presence of such a long lost breed of their race came as a shock to them.

I didn't say anything, and Matte took the task of explaining things over to everyone. He just kept talking about how magical I summoned these legendary Hescos out of thin air, and how terrifyingly strong and formidable I was.

I let this chicken speak about me and magnified my image in the eyes of everyone and went towards the fourth room.

*Bang!*

Just before I'd arrived there, a loud bang erupted as a giant fist slammed heavily on my chariot.

And with that loud bang, a fierce shout came from further ahead.

"You won't take a single step further."

"At last," when I saw this familiar artefact getting used, and heard that angry shout, I couldn't help but laugh.

The one that I sat my eyes on started to move, at last!

Chapter 1255 The Last Zone Remained

As I expected, he wasn't a coward like Matte or other useless paragons I got so far. He acted like a real powerhouse, showing the prestige of his race.

The only question though was if such a person would accept serving me or not. It'd be a loss if he decided to sacrifice himself for his beliefs. And that troublesome possibility made me totally ignore that dude, take a longer path around the fourth room, and went towards the last one.

It was better to crush any hope for his race to survive or win this war in front of his eyes. Even if that held the possibility of making him more enraged or hopeless, it also had the chance to sway his opinion about me.

If I showed him I won his race in this war fair and square, if I showed him how strong and formidable I was, then perhaps he'd consider serving me.

Or else, he'd end up dying at the end, and I'd just lose a potential capable general, on the same calibre of Legend, Isac, and Lily.

"I won't hurt anyone anymore!" Just as I took the longer path towards the fifth zone, that dude appeared out of nowhere and started raining his fists over my shield.

Tsk! He was indeed brave! Did he think I wasn't able to handle him? Let's see how he'd deal with this move then.

I came here prepared. I took out my staff and simply activated it and jumped back to the fourth base.

I knew this dude was brave and daring, and would chase after me if I moved to target the fifth base.

So before moving away I saved the bookmark of the fourth base and it proved handy. Once I jumped to the fourth base, I didn't delay and started attacking the two other paragons there.

At the same time, my technique was ready and my threads sprinted into action.

"Stop! If you are a man, come and fight me!" I heard his roars from far away. But he was slightly late. One of the two paragon's shields broke and that dude had no other choice but to succumb to me.

He signed the contract and I left him behind bleeding from the wound of his right arm. I had to chop that arm myself so I'd save little time.

Then I went to stop that enraged paragon from interfering with my actions here. I still didn't get the other generals, the more important asset.

"I know you are angry, but eventually you'll fall under my control or die by my glaive," I stopped his advance and welcomed his attacking barrage of fists. At the same time I kept my technique running and the entire forces here got almost invaded by my threads.

"You are despicable! Do you call yourself a man? If you are, stop all this madness and fight me!"

"What do you take me for? I'm not one of those high and mighty races like Hescos. I'm a human, and this human just fought against your people fair and square and crushed them all! What are you complaining about exactly? You want to fight me? Sorry, but I was fighting you and others for days now and you couldn't win!"

My words landed and all I got was a fierce roaring cry from him. His barrage of fists grew to another level, as if the artefact responded to his rage.

Regardless of what he felt, he couldn't say a single word to refute these facts.

I was fighting an entire squad of generals and paragons, supported by tons of forces and complicated defences. All they had to do was to defend and keep me at bay, and they failed.

What was he complaining about exactly? I shook my head before releasing contracts over the ones that got under my control. Gradually, all the forces here ended up under my control.

"Follow me if you dare," I didn't show any sign of weakness as I moved forward, pushed against his incoming fists and went towards the direction of the final zone.

"I'll kill you!" he roared, but I gave no heed to any of his bellowing words. I kept moving forward, even my chariot slammed against his suit as I noticed he was flying and not standing on the ground.

He was the first paragon to show his wings to me. I didn't know if he was an exception or all the others could fly but were too scared to even think about that.

"I will kill you! Do you hear me!" he kept screaming in rage while chasing after me. His speed wasn't any lower than my chariot, but I wasn't really moving my chariot in its top speed.

As I arrived at the fifth zone, I found none there. "Damn! He must have made them move away when I teleported from here," I felt a little headache coming from this.

"Stop and fight me if you dare!" he roared and I couldn't help but laugh. Did he think he'd stop me this way?

They were doomed the moment I dug a hole in their base. No matter where they'd run, they'd end up meeting my forces and either would die or get surrendered by my warriors.

If he got something annoying like a teleport gear or artefact just like the one I had then it'd be hard for me to stop them. But now all I did was to rise into the air, take a grand look over the entire base and focus more on the tunnels near that fifth zone.

If they ran since the moment I disappeared, then they'd not walk that far away. However I truly underestimated the might of fear over anyone.

I found them at a far away tunnel that'd take at least an hour to cross. They ran so damn fast, fearing to fall under my clutches and die.

I sighed. Even if there was someone capable and unique like that dude chasing after me in such rage, it wouldn't change the fate of those weaklings and cowards.

Chapter 1256 Fighting The Courageous Dude

I thought about that. I was also someone like him, a genius and capable talent in the middle of a weak race. However I managed to create a kingdom and he was this close from falling under my control.

What caused such a big difference then? I couldn't truly tell the reasons for that.

What happened to me could have happened to him. If I consider my knowledge I came from the future, he also had a much richer knowledge provided to him by his ancestors and mentors.

Not to mention he had a much grander pool of talent, an already established system of what he should and shouldn't do.

In brief, he had more chances and much better options than I.

I shove away such useless thoughts as I landed over the heads of the running paragons like thunder. The first to step and try to stop me were none other than the generals.

They were ferocious and brave, very loyal. It was just their misfortune to serve such useless brats who were designed as paragons in this world.

But their luck was about to change. Serving me might be their life changing event.

I bypassed these generals and left them to my threads. From behind, that crazy paragon kept screaming and trying to force me to fight him using his artefact. However he didn't have the ability to force me to do anything.

His artefact wasn't that tyrannical against my chariot's shield. I didn't know if it got weaker after repeated usages since the start of this war or that paragon just grew weaker... I couldn't tell and wasn't that interested in knowing the reason for now.

"Surrender or die," this time the paragons running were five. I kept hitting them using my glaive when that courageous paragon jumped in and tried to shield them.

"Retreat! Don't stop like that or you'll die!" he shouted in annoyance and rage. If I was him, I'd also feel the same way.

-n0ve1,com "No use, there is no way for them to run to," but I kept chasing them and pushing them to a dead end. They finally hit their backs against one tunnel, and couldn't find a way out anymore.

"Besides, what's the point in saving the lives of such weaklings?" I looked at him without sparing any glance at the other five. They were just like Matte and other paragons I got so far, very weak and cowards.

It wasn't useful to try and defend these weaklings and try to save them. If I was him, I'd carry away my grudges and try to escape with my life.

I didn't know why he didn't do that. I thought at first that I wouldn't find him easily as he must have been on his way to the outer large armies coming here.

If he went there, took control over these armies, then it'd be fairly impossible for me to get him. Not to mention he could have caused me much more headache than this lame rescue mission he was executing right now.

I didn't know what made him do that. Did I make a mistake in overestimating his abilities or what?

Anyway, it was still my luck for him to make such a wrong decision. I simply took a note of this, and decided to have a long talk with him after all this would be over.

Of course that would be in case he agreed to join me and didn't choose to die under my glaive.

Taking these five down took almost ten minutes. While breaking their shields into shreds, I took control over the rest of the forces around me.

All the generals who tried to fiercely aid their courageous paragon ended up serving me. At the same time, I managed to claim tens of thousands of Hescos elites in the process.

As this was the last standing group of generals and paragons here, most of the forces flooded my way and tried to block me. But that ended up adding more to my claimed trophies.

The five ended up surrendering and signed a contract with me. The only one who remained alive and free was that courageous paragon and few of the remaining Hescos.

"Don't try to run," I chased after him. After seeing the shields crack and crash under the brutal hits of my glaive, that dude finally returned to his senses and started running away with what was left of the grand army of Hescos.

"Stop resisting, no one will save you from me today," I said amidst my laughs while showing that paragon what it meant to be speedy and fast.

My chariot gears were pushed over to the maximum speed. I instantly caught up with him, and ignored everyone else.

Those remaining forces were close to twenty thousand Hescos. They were elites, and they would fall under my threads in no time.

So I focused solely over that paragon. In my eyes, he was one of the biggest trophies I gained from this campaign.

He tried to run, but couldn't escape my chariot's chase. I gradually pinned him down towards a dead end, while taking away the rest of his forces.

When he ended up alone, I took a few minutes before finally clearing his shield. He knelt on the ground, panting while his body had a deep wound that came from my glaive leftover force when it lastly hit his shield.

"Moment of truth buddy, either surrender and live longer or die right here and now," I paused before adding, "you are someone special. It's a regret that you were left here with a bunch of useless brats. If you join me, I promise that your tale won't end here."

"F*ck you!" he roared in defiance, but the next hit sent his body flying, slammed against the wall before falling without any strength to even scream.

That hit didn't hold my full strength, but it was enough to bring out another deep wound over his belly. I planned to keep torturing him in the next few minutes, until he'd either break down or break apart and die.

Chapter 1257 A Shocking Realisation!

"Just give up," I said after leaving behind the fifth deep wound over his suit and body, "or else in the next few hits, you are going to fall."

"I won't succumb to such a tyrant!" he screamed again and I slowly grew impatient with him. I wasted almost twenty minutes trying to knock reality into his head. But it seemed all of this was useless.

"Fine, if you want to die then I'll gladly help," I raised my glaive high in the air and was ready to use my full strength to strike his head this time.

This hit was going to be lethal, and he wouldn't survive such an attack. Yet when I was going to hit him, he stood erect, raising his head in pride, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.

"Stephen... Just give up and don't throw your life for nothing worthy!"

Just before I'd move my glaive down, a loud scream came from behind. I turned to look, and found out that Matte was the one who shouted from on top of my chariot.

I stopped and watched that scaredy cat climb down my chariot using the rope left by my jumper. And during his descent, he didn't stop talking.

"This lord might seem weak and without a future, but believe me he has many hidden abilities. Just open your eyes and take a look around. He managed to create such a miracle and brought forth the long lost legendary Hescos in large numbers! I don't know how he did it, but I have the feeling he can do it many times already."

I lowered my glaive, and took a step to the side, clearing a space for that useless brat to show his worth.

If he managed to rope in such a hard nut to my side, then it'd be worth giving him more support and resources later on. Perhaps if his tongue proved effective here, I might bring him with me whenever I'd fight Hescos armies and paragons.

"Shut up, traitors! How can you even think about that! Have you forgotten our race and what they did for you? Such ungrateful son of b*tches like you shall be killed even before born!"

"What did my race do? Hahaha! That's just a joke! Did you forget already or what? Our race never supported us. All they did was to gather us here and place us against each other for one to prove himself worthy! I never wanted to come here, but was forced by that tyrannical race! Coming here means I'll die. I knew it the moment I was forced to step here. Just look around and tell me, who came here out of his own volition? Even you didn't volunteer to such crusade or any of this sh*t!"

The words Matte threw showed how deeply enraged he was. When I heard him, a weird expression rose on my face.

I moved my eyes towards Stephen, and surprisingly enough he kept his silence and didn't even refute back what Matte said.

"Is it true?" I couldn't help but ask, "were you all forced to come here?"

"Can you believe that?" Matte shouted at my face before turning to Stephen as if I wasn't standing next to him, "even such a foreigner finds it strange. It's brutal! Our race doesn't lack anyone who has dreams to prove themselves worthy. Why not grant those who hailed from weak families and poor backgrounds a chance to prove themselves and create a name for their people? Why would they force everyone like us and neglect those who desperately want to come?"

"Shut up! You said too much already!"

"No, I won't! If I was still in that damn race, then speaking a single word like this would have ended my life. But right now I'm serving a just and strong lord, one who didn't interfere to stop me from saying whatever I wanted since the first moment I met him!"

I felt weird while hearing his words. I didn't stop his words before and let him speak nonsense without trying to interfere. I just didn't want to waste my breaths over someone unworthy like him.

Who knew such a negligible act would leave such a deep impression on his soul? I looked at Matte in a weird way. Was that kid faking it all this time and testing me?

Don't tell me the other paragons were also faking being cowards and such!

From the words Matte said, I could feel the burning fire of revenge hot and blazing in his heart. This wasn't the action nor the attitude of a weakling or a coward.

It seemed these kids held deep grudges against their race, deep enough to choose to not help their race at all and just try to find a way out of this cursed life they were living.

Did they let me capture them with ease as they saw me as a way to escape their prisons? I couldn't help but take a look back, taking a long look at my chariot where many paragons were standing.

Tsk! I had to be more attentive with my capable generals and worthy talents. Forcing anyone to do anything would only backfire at some point and lead my kingdom to its demise.

Sigh! Such a high and mighty race as the number one in the universe seemed to not matter that much to those kids. They didn't want to join any of these shitty apocalypses happening in the entire universe.

Many might hail from strong backgrounds, but that didn't mean they'd be just like their ancestors. They might prefer to live a life of peace and prosperity. And to me, that made quite sense.

Forcing such dudes to risk their lives, throw away their good lives and live through dangers like what was happening in any apocalypse was lame.

I engraved such deep and meaningful words from Matte and stuck such incidents to my memory. I hoped that I never forced anyone to work as a general or a leader.
