Chapter 1484 Why Should We Leave If It Was Far Dangerous Outside?
That dude that I looked at trembled when I said these words. He recalled how I easily killed one of the jumpers I called out, and I did that without a speck of hesitation and in such cold blood.
"Cool," Mou finally heaved a sigh of relief. I turned my attention towards getting these little things done. I gave the order to my warriors using my horn, instructed them to go and follow the one with the smaller chariot.
I also told them to follow his instructions about the places they were going at, giving them the order to go to the hot zones, kill anyone of the enemy they'll find.
As I got done from all this, watched the warriors swarm the city where Mou went towards with the other jumper, I started to go towards the rest of this bubbled area.
I forgot to ask about how many shielded zones there were in the entire surface planet. Yet I planned to get this done, take all the jumpers inside the cube, before going back and ask Mou about that.
I insisted on using my cube for different reasons. First, the cube was enough to take tons of the jumper and save me lots of time in talking and convincing them.
In addition to that, I already decided to enslave all the jumpers from this world and not let them enjoy their freedom or any of this great life again.
Another reason relied in the benefits my cube would take from behind all that. The cube would have its camp area expand the more I used it. So if I kept using it here, then I'd end having a huge stretch of land for my forces to use later on.
Such land would solve tons of problems out for me. And so I kept using my cube, moving fast while crossing tens of thousands of miles in two days or so.

"Tsk… There is the problem of wasting too much time on this…" I had to admit, if the planet got large number of shields, then I'd need more than half a month time to take care of things here.
"I can retreat and let my warriors handle this world until I'll get things sorted out at the angelic world," I decided while returning back towards the place I started from.
There I found no obvious change to the amount of forces on the ground. I saw Mou's chariot flying on top of a nearby city, while tons of warriors flooded the entire place.
I knew there were too much of the portals out there, enough to fill hundreds of these shielded zones to the brim in a short time.
It was expected for the tunnels to get flooded with my forces and not leave behind any change at all.
"Lord, you already got things done?" Mou drove his chariot closer to mine when he spotted me approaching him.
"How are things going?" I didn't need to answer him as it was quite obvious.
He started to speak about things going down there. Per what he said, he instructed those who were led inside about how to read the signs before he let the later coming troops follow others inside.
That meant this dude didn't have much to do after he taught the earliest batches about how to go through the tunnels.
"Good job," despite feeling how lucky bastards these jumpers were, ending up having things quite easy for them, I still applauded his work, "tell me, how many of these shields are out there? And how can we access any of them?"
"Well, we got two ways to do so," he paused before adding, "according to my knowledge, there are hundreds of thousands of these shields here, all filled with my people."
"This…" No f*cking way! Didn't they lose too much in the clashes against the enemy or what?
It didn't look like it. This race… They were quite blessed! Living in such heaven, and even not suffering any losses for such long time… And I was the one who came here to save them? Save them from what exactly?
Tsk! I truly envied them right now, envied them even more than the Hescos and Toranks back in my universe, even more than the real gods out there.
"Fine," I knew I'd not be able to suck in all of these jumpers before the time would come up, "you'll follow me from now on. I've little time here anyway. After I'm gone, you'll take the responsibility of visiting your people's zones, convince them to join my side, and help in exterminating the enemies at the hot zones."
"This…" and when I thought this dude thought of such a task to be quite troublesome, he added, "shall we go there and fight those enemies? You got enough, right?"
I gave him a weird look. After all, that dude was just trying to get the easy route out of here. "No, you'll all fight," I made up my mind, "it's not that peaceful out there. It's best for you to train over such things, starting from this moment."
"But… If the world outside is harder than here, then why should we leave?"
"Because I said so," I didn't like where this talk was going, "and you have no other choice but to follow my instructions. After all, I'm the one calling the shots here."
These bastards… They lived in such peace and didn't want to leave it back to the real struggle at the real universe!
Right now my vision got changed towards all the traps and hardships left by their ancestors. I started to doubt their true intentions back then.
They didn't do all this to safeguard their people, but to prevent their people from going out from here. These bunch of cowards! They didn't do all this to survive, but to escape the hell outside and keep their race thriving in peace here.
I'd not watch everyone in the universe struggle with their lives on the line while these fools and greedy ones were just asking for peaceful lives and enjoying prosperity without paying the rightful price for it!
Chapter 1485 Moving Between Cities
"How can we go towards the next shielded zone?" Right now, my mindset has changed. I could increase the effective range of my cube using bones. I didn't overdo it before. Yet right now I got my mind changed about such a thing.
I'd better take all the jumpers in one zone in one go, better than just watching all of them enjoy their peaceful lives, when my warriors were risking everything to save their lives.
Screw them all! I hate jumpers, I hate them since the moment I met that jerk back in the early days of the apocalypse.
"As I said, we got two ways to do it," Mou didn't get what I had in my mind towards his entire race, "we can go through the tunnels, or… We can just go outside."
I got what he meant by saying that. I looked at him, and his wound that he previously caused was still far from healing.
"Let's go through tunnels then," I decided, looking at the grand gathering of my warriors around this city, "let's go to another city then."
"Sure," he shrugged, leading me towards another city while I kept thinking about how many shielded zones I'd create using this method of mine.
I'd spend lots of bones this way. However for me this wasn't something troublesome. I'd first spend the common and normal bones, then use the special dark realm bones.
If I managed to get one shielded zone in just one go, then things would end fast for me. Dealing with each zone wouldn't take more than ten minutes. So what remained now was how long we'd take to travel between different zones.
If it takes too much, then it'd be bad. I'd prefer to watch this Mou and others of the golden masks bleed rather than wasting more time running inside the tunnels.
After all, travelling in space was much easier and a lot faster.

Mou led the way down the all crowded streets with my densely packed warriors, waiting for their chance to gain access towards the tunnels underground.
I thought for a moment there to lead all of them down with me, take them towards the other zones. However when I thought more about that, I knew I didn't need to do any of that.
Actually I could go back and install any portals, linking these zones with my warriors in the other half of the world I left behind.
As for the capacity of the tunnels to take all these warriors, it was something I'd need to put to test. It'd be great if the net of tunnels was so huge, enough to take in all these warriors without getting overlapped with each other or being too crowded.
"There," Mou pointed towards a direction, where I spotted a building with a unique mark over its top.
It was the mark of a giant spider web, taking almost the top of this dome shaped building.
I looked around, but couldn't find any sign for the entrance he told me about. "It's just under the dome," he seemed to get my confusion, added in explanation, "once inside, you'll find a portal that'll lead towards the tunnel network."
"Hmm… It's quite a narrow entrance," I gave him a weird look, "didn't your people make these gates and entrances big enough to satisfy the needs of the lots of you?"
"Back in the day, it seemed that our numbers weren't as much as they are now," he paused before adding, "besides, only few of us are needed to serve in the army."
"Ah, these elites you mentioned before, right?" I started to get a negative opinion about the jumper race, as a bunch of cowards and opportunistics.
"We have different tasks to do," he cleared his throat, as if that shameless dude felt a little ashamed of what I got from his words.
"Ok…" I turned my attention towards the building, "we need to find a way to level it to the ground."
"Level it?" before he'd add anymore, I took out my glaive, waved it a couple of times in the air, before finally attacking the dome shaped building.
*Boom!* One hit was enough to take this old building down. The rocks fell and a portal appeared as he told me before.
It wasn't as giant as my twin devices' portals, but it was enough to satisfy the needs of my warriors.
"Let's go."
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 "What?! Aren't we going in?!"
He looked at me in silence. If not for that golden mask, I'd see a deep shock over his face at this moment.
"I changed my mind," seeing such a narrow entrance of this old building made me realise it was going to take a long time for my warriors to arrive at the tunnels.
Like this, they had to pass through such a narrow entrance that wouldn't let many arrive at the portal.
Instead, it'd be much easier for my warriors to go directly towards the portals.
I decided, I'd visit lots of cities before I'd go towards another zone.
Doing this would elongate my stay here, however it also was essential for my forces to go into the tunnels and arrive at the hot zones quite fast.
"Where is the tunnel here?" I asked the moment I went towards the next city, and Mou couldn't help but point towards a building that was in the centre of the city.
After visiting more than five cities, I started to notice the place of these buildings. They were all in the central zone of any city, recognised by their domes.
I used my glaive, hit these buildings once, demolished them, exposing the portals lying underneath them.
After spending a few hours doing this, I finally found it was enough. I used my horn and instructed everyone of my warriors to seek the portals in each city and use the directions stated down there to go to the hot zones.
Per Mou words, the hot zones were demonstrated by a skull surrounded with fire.
Chapter 1486 [Bonus Chapter] The Problem Of Overpopulation
It was quite easy to find their way towards the tunnels leading towards the hot zones. I watched the large number of my warriors gush towards different cities, enter through the portals I exposed, and vanished from my sight.
"Let's go," I already took Mou inside my chariot, before heading directly towards the closest portal. The moment I passed through it, all my remaining worries vanished.
We appeared in a grand underground cave, one where lots of tunnels were connected to. Beside each tunnel, there was a mark of a different symbol shining in bright white light.
Only one tunnel got the red light among all of these, and that one had the shape of the skull in the middle of all this redness that looked like a ball of fire eating and surrounding it.
"There," Mou pointed towards the tunnels around, "all of these lead towards other zones, all but that one."
"Great," I randomly selected one tunnel and entered it, while my warriors walked towards the tunnel with a red fiery skull.
The moment I went inside the tunnel, I was welcomed with a dimly lit place.
The cave I appeared at was generally lit up with white light that came from the rocks at the ceiling. But the tunnel I was flying inside was lit by randomly scattered rocks that released white light from time to time.
The tunnel was big enough to take in tens of thousands of my warriors without feeling any crowdedness or anything like that.
And just when I was about to ask him how long we'd take to arrive at the next zone, I saw a portal in front of me, one that blocked any path forward.
In a flash I went through it, to find myself standing again in front of another tunnel. This one was just similar to the one I entered, not having a single difference.
"We are already there," if not for me seeing that portal, and if not for the words of Mou, I'd mistake this place as a continuation of that tunnel.

"Cool!" things proved to be much easier than I initially thought. When I moved towards the exit, I found a few of the elite of the jumpers standing on guard inside the building, guarding the main portal leading to the cave underground.
"This…"
"You…"
"What the heck…?!!"
"Intruders!!!"
"Sound the alarm! Hurry!!!"
The moment my chariot appeared there, those jumpers all grew tense and hurriedly shouted to each other. Just before I'd go out, fly on top of this new zone, the annoying siren sounds appeared once again.
Tsk! Those dudes were indeed quite fast to respond compared with the ones back at the previous zone.
I didn't mind any of that, instead I took my cube out, released tons of bones on the ground, before taking all their energy and let the cube's radiance spread to cover up the entire zone.
One thousand miles, five thousand miles, ten thousand miles, tens of thousands of miles… I kept pushing the cube's effect further using my bone energy until it covered the entire zone.
Then I waited for the cube's radiance to end, before taking in everyone inside this zone.
"We are done here," I didn't forget to return back, leave behind many portable devices half installed at many places back at the first world, before returning back to the all empty zone.
I scattered many portals and installed the second halves of these devices. Then I took a grand tour around, demolished many buildings that covered the entrance portals to the underground caves.
I visited many cities for a few hours, then stopped, took my horn and instructed my warriors about what to do, before finally going through another tunnel.
Things I worried about didn't happen, and I ended up getting things done faster than I expected. Each zone didn't take more than ten minutes to clear it, five minutes to go through one zone to another.
As for taking down buildings, I just did it for the first day then stopped doing so. I already brought enough forces here and cleared enough paths towards the hot zones.
The rest of my stay here was filled with moving from one shielded zone to another, taking all the jumpers I could from there.
One day after another passed fast, and soon enough ten days passed.
I lost count of how many zones I took, but in the end it wasn't even enough. The sheer number of those jumpers here was enough to fill the entire twenty worlds here in this quest.
I asked Mou at one point, and he told me that this planet wasn't in fact a dead one. It was growing, expanding with more of the jumpers getting born.
That explained how huge this world is here compared to the other one. And that also explained how the jumpers kept living here without feeling any pressure from such insane numbers.
Just thinking about where I'd placed all of them gave me a headache. My Earth, even after the merge with the twenty-two other worlds in my apocalypse, wouldn't be enough to take all of them.
Adding my second Earth world, the pocket world, and even if I invaded ten more worlds, it wasn't going to be enough!
Thank god I had my cube that could endlessly expand without showing any limit.
Without it, I didn't know how I'd take all these jumpers in or move them away with me.
However, the jumpers glared such an important problem out for me.
The races I'd gain from there were going to be too much. I always thought about taking too many of them, but never thought about where I'd place them or let them live.
My second Earth world alongside the pocket world wasn't that bad. The space there was still having much room for many races to live in.
However… When I thought about the three races I'd prefer to take with me back home, I'd surely take jumpers, god race, and the angels.
Chapter 1487 Just Deal With It!
The god race wasn't that huge like the jumpers, but they weren't small either. As for the angels, I still didn't go to their world and didn't explore it.
At the same time, I had to think about plans regarding how I should expand my territory outside of the reach of the apocalypse.
The apocalypse was limited by the twenty-three worlds taking part in it. Outside these worlds, the grand universe lied.
I didn't think previously about my plans towards expanding outside. All my thoughts were focused on how to win this apocalypse, unify all the worlds together under my Earth, form the grand Nala world, before I'd worry about the survival of my new home.
I never thought I'd have to expand my homeland in such a short time. If I gained these races and didn't put them to use, then it'd be like a huge waste to me.
It'd be like I never came here, risked all these losses, risked the battle back at home, and didn't even gain these huge numbers of different races.
Thinking about this dilemma brought up more headaches than before. I was the lord of my kingdom, the one who should plan things far ahead, not just wait for disasters and problems to occur to solve them.
As I figured out such a problem, I had to find a good solution for it as fast as possible.
I knew that finding a solution to this problem and executing it wasn't that easy or would happen quite fast.
I'd not snap my fingers and the next moment, worlds would fall on my head. I knew I'd take a longer time to find good worlds to invade, and would take much longer time than taking them to defend, rebuild, and make sure not a single outsider would place his foot in there and survive.
This Simple Tip Cuts Electric Bills by Up to 90%Smart Energy
This wasn't just a one day task, not even a task that could be solved in a few months time!
I even suspected that taking full control over my apocalyptic trial and merging all the worlds with my Earth would be done in less than one year.
Tsk! What a troublesome problem that I totally missed here!
"It's better to think about this later," I knew trying to burden my mind right now with finding a solution wasn't going to work.
So instead, I decided to focus on the task I got here before returning back to Earth. During the time I'd spend to take over the entire apocalyptic world, I'd think about how to solve such a problem.
"You know what to do," I turned to Mou, who kept his silence since I reopened the subject of his next task, "if you failed me, if you did something that I didn't like, I swear I won't let you live a single second more!"
"L... Lord, I'm going to do everything in my power to satisfy you," Mou jerked awake from his fantasy thoughts, his body trembling while saying such words.
I knew what this dude had in mind. As I'd be away, it didn't matter how he'd execute my orders. However this wasn't a big problem for me.
I'd leave the task of assessing his performance over to Lily. If I got negative feedback, then this dude was already doomed!
"I left many warriors behind to serve you," I paused before adding, "half of your people are allowed to go towards the zones with portals, head back towards the other half and from there towards my zones. As for the other half, you know what to do with them."
I wanted half of his people to go and fight the enemies. They'd relieve much of the pressure over my forces, not to mention their losses would lower their insanely huge number.
Even taking back half towards my zones would be quite a troublesome matter to handle. However I hoped for the angelic world to give me a breath of time to return back and suck in all of these jumpers.
I planned to inform and warn Lily about what was coming her way.
"I'm depending on you," I said before opening a portal, and vanishing through it.
I appeared at the other half, before taking the portal back to my zone.
Seeing the familiar zone again filled to the brim with my warriors made me inwardly sigh. I had to ask Lily to start shifting the forces, sending more towards other worlds as fast as possible.
I didn't want to let those jumpers stay inside their shielded zones and instead asked them to move out to save me much time. It takes me forever to roam their world and gather their people.
It was better to let them come to me, instead of going towards them and trying to gather them.
As I returned back to ground zero again, I left the unexpected news over to Lily. She seemed quite puzzled about what to do, and how to do it. But I told her to send all she could to the twenty worlds, especially the ones who still got tons of fights going on there.
Doing this would accelerate the process of taking over these worlds. Even on the cost of losing too many of my warriors, I got more than enough jumpers to fill these worlds many times already.
[Just deal with it, I got enough problems on my side] I finally sent this message over, asking her to take care of this issue without bothering me.
I got the angelic world on the verge of opening in less than one day. And I got to get prepared for it.
Toramos zone was still a dead zone where deadly and brutal fights still raged on without an end.
Before going to the angelic world, I decided to spend the last time remaining before its opening there, sucking all the enemy forces inside my cube, turning them into my forces.
Even if I was suffering from the problem of overpopulation, I'd not say no to more forces and troops, especially if they were all elites and were formed from the strongest forces the enemy got.
Chapter 1488 The Awaiting To Happen Disasters!
The fight at Toramos zone extended for a long time without the enemy showing any sign of stopping or retreating. They kept sending more reinforcements than the ones lost, and that turned that war into a war of attrition.
The enemy placed everything on stopping me from getting access towards the angelic world. And I warmly welcomed such a challenge.
The warriors I left behind were enough to keep this war running for years. At the same time, no one could stop me from getting into the angelic world.
On another note, the jerk that felt he was invincible and mighty thanks to the artefacts he gained from Toramos and others faced great setbacks.
The enemy didn't place much importance on their homelands at first. However after invading four of their homes, they started to mobilise tons of forces to intercept him.
He faced two defeats so far, and the losses in the forces he got from here were quite disastrous! At one of the two worlds, he lost more than half, and lost almost ninety percent of all his forces at the second world.
Lily told me she gave him another army, and when I told her about the issue of the incoming jumpers, she told me giving him tons of armies to lay waste to was a good idea.
At First I didn't like this thought. After all, I knew how unlucky this bastard was. Even after visiting eight worlds, he still didn't find the one that held his desired man.
However when she told me there was no other alternative but doing so, as many worlds were already on the verge of getting under our control, including the gods' world, I couldn't help but agree with her plan.
That dude was the magnet of bad luck and tons of trouble. Besides, attacking the homelands of those fiends and pressuring them would also help in the upcoming battle at the angelic world.
普通の犬だと思って救助した10歳の少年.その正体を知って驚愕した.山田一郎は普通の十歳の少年で,静かな町に住んでいます.buzznext
After settling all this, leaving the hardest part of solving this problem over to Lily and Toramos, I jumped back towards the Toramos zone.
And there I found tons of enemies fighting against my forces, without any side showing an upper hand over the other.
It looked as if two mighty oceans got opened at each other, sending massive waves to clash against one another. In the end, none of the two oceans would feel any loss until lots of time would pass.
And time was the thing that I didn't have any abundance of at the moment.
"Tsk! These fiends must have felt it by now… This quest is their loss already," I watched all the different troops in the enemy ranks for an hour or so.
The enemy used everything he had. Be it the fiends, the one eyed giants, the flying suited duded, and even worms! They used everything in their arsenal, trying to stop me and my forces here from getting access towards the angelic world.
I didn't know if such a desperate situation would be repeated again in the angelic world. However, by now, the enemy must have realised it.
No matter how hard they tried, they'd not be able to stop me.
"Are they trying to buy time to activate the last two disasters?" I faced all the forces the enemy had, even the high zombies were present here with Exomachines and other races and monsters that I didn't see before.
If the enemy used everything, and felt desperate to such an extent, then it'd explain what they'd do next.
Trying to buy time for themselves, to activate the last two deadly disasters, meant they already threw the flag of this quest.
One disaster was enough to kill lots of their forces and mine. And the second disaster was enough to detonate the entire universe here, killing everyone.
"Tsk! I didn't get any time to go into their homelands and seek those buried ancient machines…" I recalled my earlier plans about how to stop the first disaster from happening.
It was the third layer of defence, their third shield against any formidable forces like mine.
But I got no time to search their lands and look for ways to stop them. [Send a word back to Lily, tell her this…]
I knew I already tasked Lily and Toramos with a troublesome task. However the moment the angelic would start, the enemy would totally focus all his might to stop me here.
Losing many of their homelands would place lots of pressure on them. But if they were prepared to detonate everything, then they'd not care anymore about their homes.
They were going to explode everything, kill everyone, including themselves. The only thing that could stop them from doing so was for me to win this entire clash.
But that also didn't mean they could do such a thing, activate the two disasters on the spot. They needed to send tons of troops to their homelands, activate whatever they had there to launch the two deadly disasters.
The third shield, the first disaster, wasn't that hard to protect against. I instructed Lily to send troops inside shields in my twenty zones, sending the extra towards the other nineteen worlds where they'd be safe there.
The main threat would happen here, at Toramos zone, and back at the ten homelands of those fiends.
The disaster they'd launch using the buried tech would sweep the ten worlds of theirs alongside the zones connected to them.
The twenty worlds were already protected from such disaster, and all the zones that weren't connected to any of these lands were safe as well.
Zones like Toramos' were under the threat of getting hit. The enemy opened many gates here, and I had not enough time to crush them before the activation of the portal leading to the angelic world.
As for the second disaster, I'd say they'd take much longer to activate it. And something told me to activate such a disaster, they needed to activate the first one.
Chapter 1489 Using The Cube
Or else they'd go directly towards detonating everything and not care about activating any buried tech in their lands.
I couldn't tell if they were going to activate both or just a single one. But my hunch told me they'd go to activate the two, and that was why I asked Lily to gush endless forces, not only towards the jumper's direction, but towards the remaining homelands of the enemy.
I told her to send most of our forces there, and appoint capable generals to lead the armies there. I spoke about the buried lost tech, their role and level of threat.
I instructed her to let her forces look for any gathering of the enemy, where they were digging the ground or trying to do some sort of ceremony.
It was safe to assume that the way to activate such tech depended on the same method, which I already guessed.
"Nothing in the world runs without energy," I knew this was the sacred rule in my universe, in any universe, "so they need tons of forces to gush their energies inside these buried artefacts to activate them."
I wanted to ask Lily to send forces to retrieve these buried things, but refrained from doing so. What if these buried techs only needed to get unearthed to get activated? What if they unleashed a world scale pulse wave that killed and absorbed the energy from everyone there?
It wasn't safe to entrust such a task to my forces. It was safer for me to wait till the end of this quest, and then speak with the system higher ups about the plans regarding the cluster of worlds here.
I got this idea when I thought about practical ways to handle the issue of the overpopulation I had. If I managed to claim ownership over this quest territory, then it'd be awesome!
There were tons of defensive measures imposed here by the enemy, to secure this place from anyone trying to reach them from outside.
ご自宅にいながら,簡単にリフォーム相談できるTOTO DAIKEN YKK AP
Only by following preset rules and conditions would anyone come here. And it seemed like there were tons of limitations over anyone coming here.
That would mean no matter what, this small universe was more secure than almost all of the normal worlds back at my universe. Not to mention there were thirty different sized worlds here that I could inhabit and let my forces live in.
Even if I got forced to merge them together in one single world, just like what was happening with my Earth and other worlds at my apocalypse, it wasn't going to be bad.
The end result would be a grand world, one that I could send endless races and forces there to live and reproduce without worrying about anything.
Yet that all required the agreement of the system higher ups. If I knew about such a problem before, I'd include the ownership of this entire quest area in the rewards of winning the quest.
But now I had to start another round of negotiations, one that would force me to pay tons of bones as a price, or promise to do something reckless for the sake of those greedy higher ups!
That was something I'd have to worry about later. For now, I took out my cube, tons of my normal bones, and activated it.
I was standing at the edge of one of the most brutal fights here. The enemy were trying to infiltrate all the way towards the portal linking this zone with outside.
Their goal and target was clear, they wanted to crush this portal down, cut any connection between this zone and the outside world.
This was indeed a good plan, but the number of forces on my side kept it impossible for them to achieve such a goal. Not to mention that… I was already here!
*Fwoosh!* The cube took ten minutes before it absorbed the entire forces in tens of thousands of miles around.
The cube sucked in everything, be it my forces of the enemies', all vanished and left an empty and weirdly silent world.
This place was filled with tons of shouts, noises of clashing weapons, and explosions of the deadly attacks from both sides.
But right now this is all gone! Even the worms underground got sucked in as well, leaving not a single living soul behind except for me.
*Flash!* *Flash!* Flash!* and just in the next instant, the portal flashed and released new waves of my forces. They got to see such a weird silent and calm world here, making them pause in their tracks.
It seemed news spread outside this zone, speaking about how hellish this battle was. I didn't know for how many miles this zone stretched, but I was sure that my cube already covered enough area to make my forces gain the upper hand here.
"Start spreading all around," I held my horn, cleared my throat, before adding, "don't block the entrance of others… Start moving and start barricading the entire zone."
Finding what they didn't expect, they all stood in place and crowded the area around the portal. If they kept standing there for long, the portal would stop gushing out new forces.
So I gave them instructions, left them to move around, do whatever they'd like to. The enemy just lost forces he stacked for a long time in a tens of thousands of miles radius.
It cost me a lot of bones to power up the cube to do this, but it was indeed worthy of such trade.
After giving them the simple instructions about what to do next, I started to fly towards the horizon.
The enemy suffered a big loss, but they'd not stop coming here nonetheless. I sucked in lots of my forces as well, yet didn't plan on getting them out for now.
All of these forces, all including the elite forces of the enemy, would end up serving me when I'd arrive at the angelic world.
No matter what awaited me there, I planned to invade that world with a big bang! I'd release all the endless forces I got inside the cube so far, letting them go and fight for their lives, forcing the enemy to fall back, or desperately fight until they'd fall dead.
Chapter 1490 The Portal Finally Appeared
I kept moving forward for five hours before I saw the early batches of the incoming forces. The enemy would never stop sending troops here. And I'd never stop sucking them dry!
I didn't use much bones for the upcoming hours. The cube's radius was always limited to one thousand miles at most, clearing all the enemies in that region.
After flying and doing this for five more hours, I finally reached a spot that needed me to move around, circling around this entire zone, clearing the enemy forces fast using my cube.
The cube would take five minutes to suck any living soul inside the one thousand miles radius. It might seem a losing bargain, especially when only double this time would let it cover tens of thousands of miles, but it was still profitable in regard to my bone consumption.
One hour passed, five hours, ten, twenty… I kept doing this forever until all of sudden, the entire world around me trembled.
"Is it time?" I paused in my tracks, looked back towards the direction that the rumbling noise came from, "or is it the first disaster befalling?"
To make sure my forces here would stay protected, I laid out many shields, merging them together, enveloping a grand circular area, isolating my forces inside from the enemies outside.
Doing this would ensure my forces safety in this zone, protecting the portal from any threat coming from the first disaster.
If I got lucky enough, secured the ongoing battle out there in the angelic world, then I could return back here and kill all the enemy portals in one go.
I tried to delve deeper before, but I didn't march too long before getting attacked and harassed by tons of flying enemies. I was forced to use my cube, even a few of my dark realm bones at some point to stop such annoying flies.
As for the clashes happening back, around the portal zone, between the enemy and my forces, I was sure they were heading smoother than before.
The clearance I kept doing to the enemy forces during the past hours, in addition to the grand activation of the full capacity of the cube helped my forces to secure lots of distance before the enemy arrived.
They didn't get more than a few hours to spread and defend the area cleared off any enemy forces until the enemy arrived.
And with the appearance of my circular bubble here, the enemy got stopped outside, mostly, with only worms getting through the shielded zone.
The enemy forces didn't stand idle, and kept following the worms which created tons of tunnels around my circular bubble. I used my bones to kill lots of troops heading inside the tunnels, but I knew many already passed through them.
And when that rumbling occurred, I stopped what I was doing, entrusting this battle to my forces and headed towards the direction of this ruckus.
After not seeing the entire world fall on my head, I knew this rumble came from the appearance of the angelic world entrance portal.
It was finally time, it was time to go and meet those angels, fulfilling the long request of the old man.
Old man… wherever you were, just watch how your little help back then would turn into a massive aid to your people!
Your people… They were going to get saved thanks to your actions back then. And to add more to it, they'd not know or hear about your name, the name of their true saviour as even I didn't know about it!
The name I knew about that old man was the old forteller, the one provided to me by the system. As for him, he never introduced himself more than using the same name the system provided.
If you asked me, he was the most mysterious character I ever met! Even Hilary wouldn't know who he was, as she didn't yet meet up with him in this life.
I flew my chariot as fast as I could towards the direction of that noise. I heaved a sigh of relief the moment I passed through my circular bubble zone, ending up inside the territory that got partially controlled by my forces.
However, the moment I arrived near it, I couldn't help but sigh.
"These bastards… They enveloped the portal with their annoying protective shield!"
I recognised that damn shield which protected their smaller portals before from my reach. This shield wasn't here before, and it seemed to get laid down and activated the moment it appeared.
Around the grand portal lay densely packed holes. They were the ones created by the worms, and it seemed tons of these worms kept hidden underground, roaming the place, looking for the spot where this portal would pop up.
The moment the portal appeared, the worms opened these holes, allowing an endless number of enemies to come out. At the same time, they laid such an annoying shield around the portal, sealing it from me.
These damn bastards… I wanted to kill them all!
I knew even if I sucked everyone in, and that was my first retaliation against them, that annoying shield wouldn't budge an inch.
After clearing the entire region from the enemy forces, I now have to deal with this impending problem.
I didn't waste more than an hour to cross back and arrive towards the portal. And yet in that hour, the enemy managed to form that shield, bringing tons of forces around to protect it.
After sucking everyone, more kept coming out from the holes as if they were water coming out from the ground. I shook my head, and started to release low grade dark realm bones, detonating everything inside these holes, sealing them forever.
I didn't want anyone or anything to interrupt my actions here. To deal with that shield, I had to do lots of things first.
The only way I knew about it was to use the offensive shields' ability to crush these shields. Previously I'd scatter around many bubbles, leave my warriors inside, attract the attention of locusts and enemies, store up damage, then unleash it.
Chapter 1491 Trying To Break Through The Shield
But right now I have no mind nor time to do this! I only summoned one shield, scattered lots of bones into it, went towards that grand portal and stored that location in my staff.
That portal was gigantic! It expanded to cover a distance of a mile alone, with a height of half a mile at least! It looked like a mountain, standing all alone here, covered with that annoying reddish layer.
I couldn't tell how the enemy managed to coat the entire portal with that shield. But after circling around it for a few times, I got to see no hole or point of weakness there whatsoever.
They covered it perfectly, leaving not a single gap behind for me to use. All I could do now was to try and bring this shield down using brute force.
"Tsk! Last time I struggled a lot to bring enough damage to this kind of shield… And it was just covering much smaller portals than this behemoth here…"
I started to feel like the bad luck of that jumper got to me somehow! Or else how could I face such weird situations ever since I went to the jumper world to help.
Wait a minute… Don't tell me this bad luck was something unique for the jumpers? That couldn't be, right? After all, they lived a perfect life before my arrival!
I knew things didn't look that great, but that didn't mean I was out of options here.
"Time to use the pillar's new abilities then," I took out my pillar, and used the normal shields like before.
This Simple Tip Cuts Electric Bills by Up to 90%Smart Energy
However this time, I intended to use the new ability of the shields. I was going to use the shield's ability to attack things inside and not outside.
If I used the same way to take down this shield, then I'd not only endanger my forces scattered outside, but also would waste tons of precarious time.
The enemy knew how the end of such a shield would be, and yet they persisted in using it. That meant they wanted to use the time I'd spend here to fortify their defences there, prepare something quite scary for me and my forces.
I'd fall in their trap if I took much time to take down this shield. And so the only option I got was to use the ability of the shield to attack things inside.
As for the damage stored into it, I didn't need to waste time at time in stacking such a thing. I'd simply use my bones, add enough energy to the shields, before releasing a mighty and devastating attack.
But before doing any of that, I first started to store many locations around this portal.
The first option I got was to use my bones and augment the attack inside the shields. If that failed, then I'd simply switch and detonate my dark realm bones.
In both cases, I'd go blind and would be unable to see anything. My only option to check if there were any gaps or not would be through jumping inside.
Considering the colossal body of the portal, it was hard to determine where the gaps in the enemy shield would be. So I stored lots of places around, before getting out and started to take lots of my bones.
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 I scattered the bones around, before absorbing and relaying their energy over to the shields I created. The shields supported each other, and grew to extend enough to cover up the gigantic portal.
The energy I gushed out got absorbed and stored inside the shields. I didn't hurry to execute my attack, and started first by using normal bones.
I didn't want to suffer a lot in this, as I knew I'd take lots of bones to take this shield down.
I kept absorbing and sending energy towards the pillar, and it stored it inside the shields. It seemed after getting evolved the ability of the shields to absorb my bone energy grew up as well.
The number of bones required before to make the shields get filled with energy didn't satisfy the needs of the shields this time. I started to increase the number of bones and in return the amount of energy stored inside the shields grew up to a terrifying level.
I kept doing this for almost half an hour before the shields started to emit bright lights. It was the signal that the shields got enough from the energy I released, and it was time to start the attack.
However I didn't. I kept storing up more energy for another half an hour, before finally releasing the trapped beast.
The energy stored inside was enough to take down anything, burn the entire world into shreds, and the light coming from inside was enough to blind my eyes and anyone's eyes for tens of miles around.
Yet even with doing so, I didn't stop releasing bones, absorbing the energy, and relaying it towards the shields. The attack kept brimming inside, releasing such frightening light that kept me blind.
"Time to check over things inside," after one more hour, I prepared to move in.
The new upgrade of my pillar allowed me to control the amount of damage released and limit the attack over the enemies, saving my forces from suffering any damage.
However I still didn't trust this and relied mainly on my chariot. But when I went inside, I truly experienced what it was like to be guarded from the attack.
"Impressive!" The instant I got inside, a bubble surrounded me and separated me from the outside. The world outside my chariot was covered in two layers of shields, enough to protect me from any harm.
"It's close…" Seeing the effectiveness of my pillar, I decided to not leave and kept staying in my place. I filled the chariot with bones, replacing the normal ones with dark realm ones to make up for the difference in energy between the two.
The shield in front of me was covered in cracks, deep and long cracks that extended beyond my sight.
Chapter 1492 The Angelic World
I jumped over many places and in the end, the same scene was there.
The shield got damaged, but not severely enough to get crushed into pits. I kept myself inside, while supporting the shields using the pillar in my hand with energy.
The attack seemed to get a boost the moment I replaced the normal bones with dark realm ones. The brightness of the light around intensified, and I started to hear sizzling noises coming from the enemy shield.
"Come on!" I stayed in my place inside the shields for one more hour. During which, the cracks kept expanding, but the shield never opened up a hole or anything.
"Don't tell me it's repairing itself…" After another hour, I started to feel something was off and felt amiss here.
"Putting the huge surface area of this shield… Will it absorb energy and damage issued at it and distribute it around?"
I started to feel anxious about this. The damage would be distributed evenly and that might explain why the entire shield got cracked, but not crumbled into pits at all.
If so then it was time for my glaive to shine!
I took my glaive out, and started to activate one skill after another. I activated the second all the way up to fifth skill, the shield killer skill.
The skills I activated added more offence, weight, and damage to my glaive. And the shield breaker skill stacked all this together, and started to release an attack that made even my two hands holding the glaive tremble.
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
I aimed towards the grand shield in front of me, released all the might I accumulated, before releasing a mighty offensive attack on the shield.
The shield that stood for hours in front of my offensive ability of my shields finally cracked down once it got attacked by my glaive.
"It's like what I thought… Damn those bastards!" If I didn't get enhanced before coming here, then trying to take down such a shield would prove troublesome.
"Time to go," the moment the shield cracks opened a hole, I didn't stay in my place for even a single moment. I controlled my chariot and headed directly towards the gap, vanishing through it.
The moment I went inside the portal, that damn shield tried to shake me off. It squeezed and tried to crash against my chariot's shield, to get stopped with my pillar's shields.
"I'm not the same dude as before," my enemy got many upgrades and changed the way they fought me many times. And this time, it was my turn to pressure them back.
The attack that once brought tons of trouble to me ended up trapped against my stacked shields, unable to do anything towards my chariot.
I passed through the portal and finally appeared at the other side of it. The scene that welcomed me was something I was prepared for, yet exceeded all my expectations!
I imagined a brutal war going on between the angels and their enemies. And that was what I found. However I never thought such a battle would expand to cover land, air, and even space!
The world wasn't simply made out of land, but there were an endless number of floating islands, large stretches of land in the sky, and even continents!
I saw the world from the spot I arrived at, and to my surprise I didn't arrive at the world itself, but on one of its ten moons circulating around it.
The distance between the moon I appeared at and the main planet wasn't that huge. It appeared like there was some sort of force suspending the moons so close, and yet preventing them from clashing into the main planet.
It looked majestic! And with all the fighting going on, all over the space, even including a gigantic belt of rocks that floated the space around, I felt like I was watching something out of this world!
This gigantic belt of meteors was at least half a million miles away from the planet, at least three up to four hundred thousand miles away from the moon I was on.
The moon wasn't barren, and it got its own atmospheric layer shielding it. The lands were all covered in thick and lavish layers of greenery, and there were many rocks floating inside and outside the orbit of this moon.
I could see other moons nearby, looking like gigantic balls of rocks in different colours. At the same time, the main planet appeared to be a huge shadow looming from far, like a world setting off with more than half of its circular surface appearing at the horizon.
I saw tons of floating islands out there on this planet when I used my HawkEye skill. I could see many things happening far away, making me doubt I was originally that far from this planet and other moons.
Brutal wars were happening everywhere, and I saw an endless number of forces fighting on both sides. The angels were all having wings, two pairs, three pairs, up to ten pairs of wings.
At the same time, the world seemed on the verge of collapsing under such a wide scale and bloody war going on everywhere.
I now realise why this world has limited time, and that was mainly related to the integrity of all the planets and moons around it.
For a reason I felt like that grand belt of rocks far away was created by the loss and destruction of many moons. And that made the initial goal of stabilising this chaotic battleground clear to my mind.
I got to stop world destruction first, save the people later!
But… How in the world should I do that?
I looked around and felt the immensely difficult mission I got myself into.
The enemy was already spreading all over the planet and its moons. They got adapted to the world here, knew all about its secrets and places.
I got tons of forces to fight against them, but that wouldn't even help at all to support a single moon, not to mention the main planet.
Chapter 1493 The Bitter Fact About Time Loop
In addition to that, escalating the fight right now shouldn't be my top priority. In fact, it should be the last thing I should do.
How should I kill all of these without greatly affecting the on the verge to collapse planet and moons? That was the hard question I had to answer, and I should answer it fast!
The first option I got was to use my cube to cover the entire planet. However when I thought about it, I realised that this was going to consume much of my bones, and I didn't know if the cube could sustain such an influx of energy.
I could just send out my soulers around, release them to kill many of the enemies here. But that needed billions upon billions of my soulers, and that was something I didn't have.
My soulers have the ability to flash and kill like killing machines. However there were still tons of enemies they'd face much difficulty in dealing with, including worms, Exomachines, fiends, and high zombies.
This option wasn't practical. And using anything that would detonate like my research department weapons and dark realm bones wasn't going to work.
"I need intel…" and after ten minutes of passing through everything I got and could do, I located the crux of the problem here.
I didn't know anything about this world. I wasn't like the enemies, who got to study this place over and over for endless years.
I looked over, and the place I appeared at was filled to the brim with mixed forces fighting against each other.
It was as if I appeared just at the climax of this battle, where no tactic or plans were working anymore. It felt like every man was fighting for themselves, as if the entire place, despite being filled with billions of fighters, was for himself.
It was weird, and to save myself from the trouble of going around and looking for anyone who mattered, I used another simple and easy method.
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
*Flash!*
My cube flashed and covered a large area, sucking it dry. In the middle of such a chaotic and vast battle, clearing an area of a hundred miles didn't matter.
"This…"
"Who are you?"
"An enemy! Attack!"
Just when I sucked everyone in, I used my cube and controlled them to follow my orders. From there I took out a few of the angels.
The few I took out had three pairs of wings, with one with five pairs. The moment they appeared, they got confused, thought me as the enemy, and were ready to fight me at the spot.
What a bunch of foolish and crazy dudes they were.
"Stop! Or else by the power of the system and contract, you'll die!" I didn't move a finger, and simply said such insane words to them. They looked at each other, seemingly quite hesitant before a dude with three pairs of wings moved.
The moment he took a single step, he got killed on the spot by the power of the system. I activated the contract power, taking him down.
"I don't have any time for plays and jokes, so let me get straight to the point… I'm someone who came from the outside, coming here to save you."
"..."
"I'm not someone who belonged to your enemies, I'm your and sole ally in this entire cursed place. I'm here to save you, but I need intel."
"You want us to betray our people?" The one with five pairs of wings seemed to take the charge of speaking with me. I didn't feel any offence from his words, just impatience.
Why did it end the same way each time? Why every time I told someone I was here to save his race, he ended up questioning me?
"I'm here to help," I paused before slowly adding, "if I'm not mistaken, then your people plan to entrap this world in a closed time loop. In fact, you got entrapped in it for endless years so far. I can't tell you how many years it has passed since the last time you actually were alive, but endless time passed for sure."
"This…"
"I believe your higher ups activated the time loop to get triggered the moment your worlds got destroyed. This planet, these moons, if any or all got destroyed, then time will stop and rewind back to this precise moment which we are experiencing."
"That's bullshit! That can't be happening!"
"I don't believe any of this madness!"
"Nonsense! Our time loop weapon is going to be used only if our people are in grave danger!"
"Silence!" Everyone, all but the one with five pairs of wings, spoke in disbelief and didn't buy what I said.
The only one who believed every word I said was the five paired winged dude. It seemed he was already aware of such plans, and even knew much of the details about it.
And from his nervous and enraged shout, I realised that all I guessed was right. This race triggered and timed the time loop to get activated the moment their planet and moons got destroyed.
"So… It does really happen… Tsk!" this dude seemed to be quite oblivious to such a fact. In reality, those who got affected by the time loop wouldn't realise anything, and that meant getting out of this time loop wasn't in the hands of any of them fighting here.
Only the one who used this ability, or the ones who did it, would be aware of the activation of the time loop. If I was the enemy, then the first one to target would be these folks, killing them as early as possible, before they'd cause any damage or spread the news.
So it was expected why everyone here didn't know, and the one who was aware of such a weapon didn't realise it got used over and over, for uncountable times!
The moment this race activated such a weapon was the moment they got to lose the initiative in this war.
Chapter 1494 Russle
They hung their hopes totally on the ones from outside, praying and waiting for any help to arrive, just like myself.
"It's happening," I nodded, "and I'm here to help. However…"
"I can be your guide here," that dude ignored the enraged eyes of his mates, and stepped forward as he added, "when we reached this point a few months ago, the elders selected a bunch of us. Anyone with four wings and higher was given the task of acting as the guide for anyone coming from outside."
"So…"
"I'm going to tell you anything you want to know, and give answers to any question you have…" he paused, before all of sudden he knelt to the ground, "please… Do anything, everything, and save my people."
"Don't worry about that," I paused, while the images of my meetings with the old man back in the days before coming here flashed in my mind like an old movie, "I owe someone a big favour, and I'm kind of repaying this debt by saving you."
"... Thanks…" I knew he didn't get what I truly meant, but it didn't matter. This dude saved me tons of trouble, and I got to make the best use of him.
"Tell me then everything you know," I didn't limit him by any question, and left the stage open for him to speak about anything and everything he knew.
And he did know a lot!
It took him two hours to tell me everything he knew. During which, my chariot got hit many times by different forces of the enemy.
The response I ever took was the same, taking out my geared and evolved soulers to fight back any enemy daring to approach me.
Electrician reveals: 1 simple tip to slash your electricity bill by up to 90%Smart Energy
I learnt a lot about this world from this dude. He introduced himself to be Russle, and I knew this dude got lucky to meet me first before anyone else.
Just from the information he told me right now, I could give him tons of credit for that.
He told me everything about the nature of this world. And the first piece of surprise was that this wasn't just a single planet! There was another one hiding in the darkness outside, not showered by any light of the star circulating in the space.
This planet got moons as well, the fight there was quite desperate and chaotic.
The second piece of shocking news came as the headquarters and the main trigger of the time loop didn't lie in any of the moons of the planet visible to me, but in those shimmering in darkness.
And that meant if I wasted my time trying to save this planet and moons here, I'd still end up failing the quest.
What a scary and nasty scheme and plan this was!
Letting me arrive here, on the lightened world, without getting any intel about the presence of any darkness planet and moons, was quite a sneaky and evil move from the enemy!
And that also highlighted the importance of information in any war. And that also made the importance and credit of this Russle dude here quite immense.
"Do you know how to get there?" as there was no point in saving this planet and moons, I didn't want to stick around anymore.
"There is no direct path leading towards there," Russle started to give me the bad news one by one, "and the path towards there is filled with tons of enemy forces, tons of traps, and debris of the previous battles."
"At least you know the way, right?" I felt like the bad luck of the jumpers got attached to me. I had a brutal fight in space again. At least this time I didn't have to fight lava and black holes.
"I do know of the common path taken there," Russle paused before adding, "but the way isn't safe at all. We don't have a chance to go there."
"Let's see when we are there," I didn't take any of this dude's words to the letter.
"Ok, we can go there," he pointed towards the sky, and the next instant I controlled my chariot and headed towards there. I passed through dense layers of clouds and ended up fast in space.
The sky layer didn't have any enemy at all. But the moment I got out from space, I finally saw what this dude really meant.
Tsk! There wasn't any space at all! The entire place out there was filled with endless debris, lots of forces fighting against each other, while many forces took rocks and controlled them as if they were flying fortresses.
The battle escalated and extended to cover a large space, blocking any path forward. I didn't need that dude to tell me where that world lied, as I could easily guess that from the densely packed forces in a certain region.
Such chaotic war suited my soulers to the best. However there were little soulers compared to the expanse of this battle and the number of the enemies.
"There," he pointed towards the same direction I guessed, "after passing the layer of debris, there we will find another belt of fortresses where my angels are fighting the enemy desperately."
The situation looked much harder than I guessed. However, I knew there was a single way to do this.
"I'm sorry old man, but I have to kill lots of your people to save the rest," this was something I got my hands forced to do.
Any path towards that hidden world got blocked, and there was no way to overcome such blockade without killing and harming the angels in the process.
So if they were destined to get killed and harmed in the end, why would I even care about their safety in the first place?
Instead if I openly used my forces and strength, used my dark bones, shields, and such, dealing with such mess would be much easier.
Even if I got branded as the angel killer, I didn't care. What mattered in the end was to step at that hidden planet and save it from getting destroyed.
Chapter 1495 He Is Mad From Me Killing His People!
"Russle, no matter what I do, I'm still on your side, got it?" I didn't even turn to Russle as I said these words. And I could feel the latter's daggering eyes on my back.
"What exactly do you plan to do?"
"Killing a few to save the rest," I paused, took out my pillar, and added, "I'm going to go into that damn planet, no matter what!"
*Rumble!*
The next few minutes, I used my pillar and scattered shields all over the place. The enemies tried to attack my shields, ending up getting either trapped inside or storing up damage in them.
Many of the fighting forces got trapped inside my bubbles, and after an hour, the entire space looked a bit weird.
Many bubbles scattered all over the place, separating the fighting forces apart, and entrapping tons of them inside.
But that wasn't enough! The belt of debris was indeed quite vast. It stretched out for hundreds of thousands of miles.
If I solely depended on my shields, then I'd achieve nothing in the end.
The other option I got was to stack damage inside these shields, before finally releasing it.
The attack that came from these shields was so devastating enough to blind my eyes and everyone's in the span of tens of thousands of miles. I didn't stop my hands and kept moving in the same direction of that planet, while releasing more shields.

Just after the passage of twenty minutes, the earlier attack wave started to recede and the entire space began to show up again.
"This… This…" I could feel the immense shock in the voice of Russle. After all, my attack didn't differentiate between an enemy or a fiend.
"I'm not done yet…" and just as the first attack weakened, I started another!
I used the attack coming from my shields to stack damage inside the newly summoned shields. And I planned to use the second wave of attack to stack damage in the early batch of shields, to release a continuous wave of attacks.
This would save me lots of time, help me clear my path forward, and at the same time kill lots of enemies. Of course tons of angels would be killed in the process, but I didn't give a damn about that.
Eyes on the target, that was what I was doing here right now. I had to reach that planet and save it alongside its moons. Doing this would save not only this world from getting rebooted by the time loop, but also would save the entire race as well.
I released wave after wave of attacks, while moving forward non stop by my chariot's top speed.
In twenty hours, I finally managed to bypass the belt of debris and the tons of fighting forces inside. The attacks that I released managed to clear tons of zones here, and they also helped my chariot in moving forward.
With each shockwave, I felt like my chariot was getting carried over the waves of the attacks. I felt like I was on the back of surfing boards, riding over gigantic ocean waves, moving from the depths of the ocean towards the shore like a rocket.
If not for such help, I was sure my chariot would take longer to cross that belt. Even saying it'd take double would be an understatement.
"You… You… You are a killer! You are a madman!" Russle kept repeating such words over and over again. However none of what he tried to express affected me.
"Sorry pal, but I got an entire race on my shoulders to rescue," I moved out of the belt of debris, stood in front of another majestic scene.
It felt like the entire space vanished and instead the place was filled with floating fortresses that kept exchanging attacks all over the place.
From the look of it, these models of fortresses were quite different from what I saw so far in my life. They weren't made out of rocks, but from ores and metal.
Each fortress was at least five miles in size, and that made me feel like I was seeing grand islands that got formed entirely of shining ores.
Attacks kept going back and forth between the two sides fighting over a huge stretch of space. At the same time, tons of forces were fighting against each other individually, looking like small groups of ants in front of all these gigantic metallic behemoths.
I thought that by arriving here, the remaining distance towards that hidden planet wouldn't take more than a few hours to cross. However, up till the end of my sight, I could see flashes of lights coming either from the fighting fortresses or the attacks they launched.
That meant I got at least the same distance I just crossed off the debris belt, or even more.
What made me frown was that even after trying to see through the endless number of these fortresses, I couldn't spot that planet at all.
"Are you sure we are heading at the right direction?" and after doing the same trick over and over again for ten hours, I got to ask Russle about this.
Even after moving for all this time and crossing such a distance, I still didn't see anything of that planet.
"I won't deal with you anymore!" and for the first time, Russle started to show a sign of defiance.
That jerk… "If you don't answer me, then I'll kill you, take tons of others, kill them under your name. If you want to have more blood on your hands, then of course go ahead and don't tell me a thing!"
I wasn't bluffing. After all, there was no time or room for such useless and childish plays of his.
"O… Ok…" he finally returned to his sanity, "we are going in the right direction."
"Then how come I didn't see any shred of shadow of that planet? Is it that small or faraway or what?"
Chapter 1496 The Dark Planet
"It's all dark, I already told you that," he looked annoyed by answering my questions. And I got no time to babysit such a dude.
"And?" That wasn't the answer I waited for.
"To see it, you have to get at least less than ten thousand miles away from it," he finally gave in and told me something I could work with.
"And that is how far from here exactly?" That was the second question I wanted an answer to.
"Well… Given our current location and speed, we can arrive there after two days."
"T… Two days?!! What the heck went wrong in your ancestors' minds?!!!" I didn't see that coming! I thought at most the distance between the two worlds was one day at most.
But it seemed like it was more than two days! That was pretty damn insane!
"That's not on us to blame…" he seemed to get fazed off by the logic behind my last comment, "we had many portals linking the two worlds together. However after those damn bastards invaded us, everything changed and all of these portals got either destroyed or controlled by the enemy."
I got what he meant, and it seemed the enemy used the time loop to the fullest and best uses, making me believe this time loop was a curse for the angels, not a way to survive!
If this kept going on, then no hope was there for these angels!
"Fine," I returned to do what I was doing all this time, releasing bubbles and releasing the attacks stored inside all over the place.

At this point, I turned into public enemy number one for everyone here. Both sides took me as their enemy, and for sure they were quite puzzled by what I was truly doing here.
I didn't belong to the enemy, and surely I didn't belong to the angel side as well. Or else how come I started killing all without any discrimination or intention to save them?
I didn't care about what others might think. And even if my true intentions got missed or misinterpreted thanks to my actions, I didn't give a damn.
All I cared about was to hurry up, arrive in time and start saving that world out there and its moons before things would turn to a no return point.
At some point I started to wonder if this was my first time being here or if I got trapped in the same time loop? Kept coming here one time after another, doing things wrongly every single time?
Damn! Such a thought was quite scary!
If that was true, then how come I'd know I wasn't reliving the same life over and over again?
For a few minutes there I got overwhelmed by such thoughts until I decided to try out something.
"We are going out for a visit," I instantly took out my staff, opened a portal and jumped through it towards the outer zone I just came from.
The only way to tell me I was living in a time loop or not was this method. If I was trapped inside, then I'd not be able to come out.
The moment I passed through the portal, I found myself intact and safe outside. I heaved a deep sigh of relief, while the chariot got void of any angel.
That wasn't weird and quite expected. The ones trapped in the time loop wouldn't be able to get out until the time loop got broken.
After all, what I saw was just a false version of them, like stored data that wouldn't survive outside any PC.
I sighed, passed again through the portal and returned back to the point I vanished from. There I spotted the few angels who were inside my chariot reappearing again, like some sort of magic.
What a damn cool and brutal trick this was! Just seeing this made me realise I truly didn't get anything yet from this world.
Anything I'd do or get from here would be pointless if I didn't end up breaking this damn curse.
And thinking about me turning into some sort of data drove me crazier. I planned to not keep my hands once arriving at that planet and group of moons.
As for the right method to save that place, I already have a few ideas to test out.
For a start, the planet out there already has a huge defect. It wasn't a normal planet, formed out of a solid rocky layer and such, but it was filled with caves, underground tunnels, and such.
In the eyes of anyone, such a place would be quite hard to save if strong and brutal was spread there. I could understand such logic, but there was something none would understand or do but me.
I got a crazy thought out, one that wouldn't just save this planet, but also solve the entire problem of protecting other moons down from the root.
However… It was indeed quite crazy!
One hour passed, ten hours passed, half a day passed, one day passed, and finally two days passed. I kept using my shields without pause, releasing tons of attacks out, killing endless numbers of both sides during this fight.
To be honest, I was shocked by the scale of this war. This was perhaps the second most populated race I ever met here after those damn lucky bastards; the jumpers!
Just during the past two days, I met billions, even tens of billions of forces on both sides, fighting among themselves, without showing any shred of mercy or hesitation.
I got interested in all these formidable looking metallic fortresses, and ended up deciding to take a tour around and take all these different models from both sides after I'd stabilised the risking danger on the dark planet.
I decided to call that planet and its moons the dark side of the angels, or the dark side of the world. While calling this planet the dark planet, the moons surrounding it were called the dark moons.
And when I got out at last from the endless ocean of metallic fortresses and endless forces, I got to spot that world at last.
Chapter 1497 A Crazy Plan To Save The World!
This one was at least twenty times bigger than Earth, with ten different sized moons floating around it in a close orbit. The moons should have clashed against the planet a long time ago, if not for the weird gravitational force controlling everything in this messy place.
Around all this was an endless number of debris, including destroyed rocks, meteors, and even shooting stars. At the same time, there were tons of metallic debris all over the space, giving this part of the world a gloomy appearance.
Yet the gloomiest thing still was at the planet and its moon themselves. No matter how I looked at it, everything there looked like colossal black balls no matter how I tried to make the image a bit appealing to me.
If not only for the large number of lights that seemed to come from bases, settlements, and large scale wars on the dark planet and dark moons, I'd not be able to see such a place even if I was so damn close to it!
I didn't know how this place got void of light. The gigantic silver star that shimmered and lightened this space was still seen from my point. Yet for a reason I couldn't tell, not a speck of light fell over there, not even a single ray of light.
"It's down there," that dude spoke at last, pointing towards the clear dark planet in sight, "you can go there and save everything."
"Sorry but I plan to do something crazy this time," I prayed that my horn would cover up such a huge distance between me and that dark planet and dark moons, and deliver my message to most if not all of those angels down below.
"Listen carefully to my words, I'm Hye, and I'm here to save all of you… However, to do so we need to pass through a very dangerous path together. So, I'm asking all of you now… Stop what you are doing, find a safe place anywhere, and hide! I don't want to kill any of you by mistake, but neither I nor you have any choice but to accept such a risky move."
I had to warn them, or else the end result of this move of mine would be quite disastrous. In fact, this solution was crazy, something I'd not normally do if I got the choice for that.

I didn't bother about what they'd call me in the end, even if I ended up killing half or more of their population, I hoped I'd still save their planet and moons in the end.
"What do you plan to do exactly?" The angels standing around me saw how crazy and scary I was. So when I spoke about how crazy my plan was going to be, and when they heard my last words, they got scared!
"You'll see for yourselves soon enough," I didn't want to spoil the surprise, waited for one hour, while watching the lights coming from down below flicker and intensify.
I couldn't see anything using my Hawk Eye skill, but hoped those down below were wise enough to take my warning seriously.
Or else… The consequences would be quite severe!
"I'll give you one more hour, then I'll start to act," I held my horn after another hour, and shouted through it.
I hoped they heard me, and spread the words. Or else, the number of deaths alone was enough to be in hundreds of billions!
I waited for one hour, but didn't stand idle anymore. I let my chariot around, inspecting the space around.
The space was filled with tons of debris. Especially after my last waves of attacks coming from my shields, the space close to the dark planet and dark moons were all filled to the brim with broken fortresses, pieces and debris.
Lots of rocks also spread all over the space, forming a thick layer of meteor belt. I kept scanning the area, moving around without getting stopped by anyone.
Both sides were still fighting, but at distances away from me. The entire zone around the dark planet and dark moons was completely void of any life at this moment.
To reach me, they'd take long hours, and during which I'd manage to finish my plan and see it through. After that it was another story.
Handling the endless number of enemies wasn't an issue for me. I was great at battles of attrition. So I had to first secure the planet and moons before starting to spread out death all over the space and world here.
One hour passed fast, and it was time for me to act.
"I'm going to act, I pray that you went inside good hiding places, or else I'm not responsible for what's coming for you," I said my last words using my horn, and then replaced it with something else.
During all this time, I couldn't tell what was going on at the surface of the dark planet and dark moons. So I couldn't tell if they managed to hide, or they were still fighting the enemy, ignoring my repeated warnings.
They didn't even bother to send me a response to all the warnings I sent. And that told me they were either busy evacuating, or didn't even give a damn about what I said.
"Time to go crazy," I shifted my eyes towards no other place but the space filled with rocks and debris around. I checked all this time and got my earlier guesses confirmed.
There was a hidden and weird gravitational force that kept the planet and moons orbiting this close from each other without getting any clash or fall on each other.
I planned to mess with all this, and to do that I'd use the thick belt of rocks and debris around.
Any planet or moon was formed out of rocks and different ores, right?
If the dark planet and dark moons were on the verge of getting destroyed, then I'd work my best to reinforce them using things from outer space.
And that was what I was going to do right now.
Chapter 1498 A Scene To Behold!
"Shine and cover everything in gravity!" I stood just in front of a dark moon, one that wasn't any lesser in size than my Earth. I held my board artefact, and activated the gravitational effect in it.
I had to use lots of energy this time, and so I didn't act stingy, I started to use the Holy Ones bones.
The amount of energy coming from these was just insane! And as I got limited space in the form of my chariot, I planned to make the best out of it.
The board could control the living souls and increase the gravity of them, making them feel lots of pressure and less and such.
Trying to use it over these rocks wouldn't work, as I already tried to increase the gravity of the silver ground but failed to turn it into a magnet.
However I also experienced something else. This board could affect dead objects as well, just like the same it did for my chariot.
That meant it wouldn't turn anything into a magnet like it failed to do with my silver land, but it could increase the weight or the density of dead items like my chariot, making it feel a little heavier.
And that was what I wanted to do here. I simply activated the board, affected tons of rocks and debris in a tens of miles radius, and then I waited for these to fall.
Yet again my plans failed thanks to the presence of zero gravity around! I looked and where the supposedly hidden gravitational force existed, nothing happened!

"Tsk! So it's something unique only for the dark planet and its dark moons," I reached such a conclusion after a few minutes. And yet I never stopped my attempts.
I already suspected something like to happen, and so I jumped over the next step in my plan.
And this time I put the board away, and instead started to form my second technique.
The second technique formed a ball that stretched out thick arms like threads. I got total control over these, and I didn't just get satisfied with what I summoned using my energy.
I started to madly absorb the Holy Bones energy, releasing a scary amount of energy through the technique that I activated using both hands.
Since my body got enhanced, it seemed its ability to endure energy got improved as well. As I gushed such a scary amount of energy into my technique, the two balls expanded, releasing much more thick arms around.
One thousand… Ten thousand… One hundred thousand… I kept gushing energy out while the technique started to reach a scale I never performed before.
"Go! Take all these damn rocks and make them fall over that moon!" As I saw there were hundreds of thousands of arms moving all over the place, giving all the angels on my chariot a scare, I controlled them all to get attached to rocks and debris, before pulling them and forcibly throwing them towards the nearest dark moon.
The dark moons have the same nature as the dark planet, and I decided to give this method a test before going over the dark planet and executing it.
The moment I gave my technique the order, I moved my chariot fast and approached the surface of that dark moon for the first time since arriving here.
The amount of energy I controlled was enough to keep my threads intact, stretch for tens of thousands of miles even. However I didn't need them to stretch out in such a way.
I stood just in the outer layers of that moon's surface, feeling the immense pressure exerted over me from down there.
The hidden force of gravity here was indeed quite scary! I stopped my chariot less than a few hundred miles away from the surface of the dark moon, and yet felt like I was under the pressure of a huge mountain!
"Time to act crazy!" moving all these rocks towards the dark moon was just the early phase of my plan. I stood in my place, watching the endless streams of rocks racing all the way towards me.
During the time these rocks took to arrive here, and that didn't exceed ten minutes, I kept throwing my arms around, controlling all the rocks and debris I could reach, throwing them towards the direction of that dark moon.
"It's time," I cancelled the technique with my left hand, took out the board again, replenished the exhausted bones here, and started to act.
This time the effect of my board started to show clearly right on the spot!
The endless streams of rocks and debris once got closer to the surface of that moon got affected by the scary gravity. They raced up, started to clash with the atmospheric layer here, creating long trails of fire, eliminating the darkness all over the place for the first time ever!
It was quite the scene to behold, and despite feeling awed by it, I knew I had to start acting.
The moment I activated my board, the gravity all around got changed. The falling rocks and debris were already affected by the gravity of this world. And so it was quite easier to do what I wanted.
"I believe this is the first time for me to control the board and lower the gravity on such a scale," I muttered while I watched these rocks passing by me, decreasing their falling speed as my board's gravitational effect interfered and lowered the gravitational effect of this moon.
The speed of these rocks and debris started to fall, and that made them stack together, gathering up to form a huge belt of rock and debris, while slowly falling towards the moon surface.
It was a very intimidating and rare scene to see. I kept controlling the technique to throw more rocks, controlling my board to lower the gravity and lower the falling speed of everything, until the first batch of rocks and debris reached the moon surface.
