Chapter 1544 I'm Ready To Switch Sides, For Real! I Got Nothing To Lose!
This was something I'd not call a good leadership or success by any means, not under any circumstances. If we were at war, then those higher ups should be the leaders of the entire armies fighting on the field.
And those leaders just f*cking failed, ending in screwing everyone up! And I would never let them get away without facing consequences.
Of course I knew what I asked for was extravagant and crazy. If they complied, then they would have to answer to other races, big races, taking part in this quest.
The big prize was indeed this new world, and then the races here.
These races went off the grid for too long. They were once the rulers, the true hegemonies in the entire universe.
No matter what, be it desire for more power, fear for a new power to emerge, or even trying to research why they were this strong in the first place, everyone would crave for a piece of this cake.
I wouldn't remove the possibility of the system higher ups closing an eye under heavy pressure from the mighty races out there to let all this slip by and happen.
They didn't know about such a thing? A big thing? Never before? Come on! Who did they take me for? A fool? A kid easy to trick?
They must have done some sort of a shitty deal with the universe's big races. He sold me, they sold me, in return for making the big names more satisfied.
Screw them all! I wanted my deserved share of the reward full and not cut short thanks to other names and dudes who never suffered anything to get anything from here.

So I made sure to threaten him hard, and came at him without even holding back at all. I was truly honest and determined in what I said before.
If I didn't get my share, then I'd make sure there was no cake in the first place for anyone to take a piece of it. And if they tried to screw me again, then let them watch me not flipping the tables, but exploding it using explosives.
My only weak spot, my world, my Earth, my people, they were all coming here. There was nothing else for me to worry about. My second Earth world was like an impregnable fortress, a place that no one could reach no matter how hard they tried.
Without knowing it, they did me a big favour actually. Like this, I got freed from any threads and shackles, and they got everything on the stake here.
I was like someone who packed everything he got in the world and held dear to him in one huge backpack. Then he threw it on his shoulder, stood in front of two roads, and was waiting to make up his mind.
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) It didn't matter which road I'd take, any path was going to be my path the moment I stepped onto it.
I didn't like being the villain, but if I had to choose, I'd prefer to be the villain than the fool who got screwed and deprived of everything he should have thanks to his naivety and good heart.
I knew it wasn't going to be an easy decision to make. This dude and others beside him already struck a deal with the universe's big races.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
They got themselves cornered in such a tight spot, and I forced their backs against the wall. They'd either offend me or offend the big names in the universe.
For me, I knew what they were going to do. They would never risk offending the big names for my sake. But at the same time, losing me here was going to be far more disastrous than offending the big races.
There were twenty races here, twenty long missed races, twenty races the system higher ups depended everything on their rescue.
Or else why had they kept trying over and over for all this long time to rescue them? The fight on the frontal battlefield was a mystery to me, but I could tell the situation over there wasn't that favourable to this side.
That explained why those higher ups kept thinking about rescuing the races here. They wanted a new card to use in this battle, one that had the ability and power to change everything.
So if they offended me, I'd simply flip the switch and change sides. This would end up in turning their strongest sword around, letting it fall in their enemies' hands and endangering everything they desired so much so far.
I wouldn't hesitate to use everything in my power to kill all these races till the last man. I wouldn't flinch in joining the enemy side, change the state of my allies into enemies, and my enemies into my friends.
I was prepared to go crazy, and that all depended on what the higher ups would choose.
Knowing the tight situation they were facing right now, I kept myself calm and collected, and didn't even hurry to make a single move at all.
I even laid on the back of my chariot, enjoying the great atmosphere, looking at the bright sky that I always heard stories about in legends.
I placed one knee on top of another, one leg on top of the other, closed my eyes, folded my two hands behind my head, and enjoyed a nap.
At this moment, I was sure I was the focus of all the discussions going on in the entire universe.
Everything happening here was now broadcasted to the entire universe. If people weren't that free or interested in following what was happening here before, then after such explosive debate and argument with that jerk, everyone's attention would be focused and attracted to here.
What would they decide? That was up to them. As for me, I was honestly the most carefree person in all this messy situation.
And I acted truly as I should.
If I got a cigarette right now, that cylindrical magical thing the old humans used to consume at such times, expressing their free mind and will, then I'd have taken one out and lit it up.
Chapter 1545 You Are Wrong!
If I got strippers to dance for me at this moment like how old humans used to enjoy themselves in their free time, then I'd have invited them on board and let them fill the entire world with their cheers and laughs.
I was truly and honestly open to any situation and welcoming to any decision. After all, I got my home and people, my forces and interest, my kingdom and my hard work achievements, I got them all in my pocket.
So jerks, what would you do about it? Which side would you select to satisfy? And which side would you choose to face their wrath and revenge?
[We have decided to support you!] and when two hours passed, and I thought they'd take much longer to make up their arrangements and deals with the Hescos and other big races, the higher up sent this unexpected message over.
"What's the catch here?"
[There is none!]
"Then how come you selected me over the big names? I don't believe you!"
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ [Don't thank me, but thank your allies. They did exert lots of pressure to secure this deal for you]
"The Toranks?!" I never thought about asking them for help. But it seemed they took the initiative, and came to pressure the system higher ups against the Hescos.
Damn! I totally forgot that I got such a big name behind me. This was the advantage of having someone strong and mighty as a big brother or a friend.
[They did pull every string they can, and in the end you got what you want]
"So… Will I get all the races here?"
[As long as they agree to join you, then it's fine]

"Are you sure?" I paused, before laughing, "this isn't some shitty trick of yours, right?"
[Kid, the universe is too big to be centred on you. It's just the importance of the races here in the big picture that we are talking together right now. Or else, trying to speak to me will be the last wish you'll struggle to achieve in this life!]
"The same goes for you," I laughed. I didn't take any of his arrogant words to heart, "I'm going to impress all of you then."
[I just want the races to be secured, and try to preserve most of their numbers. These races… They hold the future of our universe]
"Sorry, but I beg to differ."
[How so? Do you perhaps think that you know better than I? Than other big shots here?]
"I won't say I know better for sure, but I can say you are wrong!"
[Prove me then, and I promise you one time help from me]
"Five times help, not one!"
[Damn! Are you perhaps a descendant of an old stingy merchant lineage or what? Why does it turn out to be a hustle every single time we talk and deal together?]please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
"Anytime you speak, you come up with a chance for a trade," I laughed, "don't blame me for being too overly cautious. I want more interest in my kingdom and race."
[This is called greed]
"This is called the leader's responsibility towards his people," I laughed, "now, what will you say about my offer? Five times help? Is it a deal?"
[Tsk! Fine, let's go with five. But I will select these five times myself, and you won't go around shouting my name all over the place every time you face a hiccup or something. It will be quite annoying to waste my breath and time over trivial matters]
"Don't worry, I never deal with trivial matters either," I evilly grinned, "now let me prove you wrong."
[Be my guest!]
This dude… He didn't realise that he already fell in my trap. In fact I was just overjoyed by such an ending.
Of course I didn't care if he agreed or not, both options held advantages for me. However the thought of being on the side of evilness, helping the villains and becoming one of them still annoyed me.
Not to mention, I already got friends here in this universe. I never expected the Toranks to take the step and support me against the Hescos.
Thinking this came thanks to their enmity with the Hescos, or thanks to their value of our friendship and alliance was just naive.
These dudes… They did all this just to ask for something in return. If they came out first, talked with me about this, then a long bargain would happen, one that I'd end up taking and chopping lots of their benefits.
So they adopted another approach, took the initiative and saved me from this disaster. At the same time, they held the fate of me and my kingdom again in their hands.
If I didn't agree on their terms, if I tried to negotiate and made a fuss about their demands, then they'd simply flip the switch, join the Hescos in pressuring me.
The quest didn't end and I didn't get anything yet. So all these promises were empty words that the system higher ups could renege at any moment from.
The only guarantee that wouldn't happen was the presence of the Toranks by my side. Tsk! Those dudes were becoming more cunning, harder to deal with.
They put me in front of reality, and didn't give me a single chance to evade or hustle about their demands.
"You think the future of the universe lies within the hands of these twenty races, but you are wrong. These twenty races are strong and unique indeed, and are going to form a formidable force on our side to fight against the invading universe. But…"
[But what?]
"You totally forgot that the ones who rescued them from such a disastrous fate are us, the ones who came from the universe."
[Your point is?]
"If they are this mighty and capable, why didn't they break free a long time ago on their own? Why did they need our help? That's because without us, they won't be able to do anything, nothing at all! They are strong, but like a strong and sharp sword, without a capable swordsman holding it, the sword will turn into a useless piece of metal, a scarp that has no value or use."
Chapter 1546 Hope!
[But that don't mean they aren't the hope for our universe]
"No, you are wrong again… We, not them, are the hope this universe holds. All the living races inside the universe hold the torch in defending it, no matter how weak or powerless they are. Supporting talents, the youngsters from all races, to rise up and be stronger, much stronger than their ancestors, is the right path, the only hope our universe holds."
[Hmm… I get what you are referring to… However, we are just advisors, wise old men on the side, speaking with advice from the side, telling people in the universe what they should and shouldn't do. But we can't force anyone, and can't prevent anyone from doing anything]
"I got your point, but…" I paused, while my entire point of debate was successfully delivered to this higher up.
What I wanted to speak about wasn't all this, but something entirely different. The youths that I met from the Hescos enlightened me about how hard it was for the young and new generation to show off and shine.
I met capable dudes, very capable and unique talents from the Hescos race. And yet they were nothing in the eyes of that mighty race.
Sometimes, growing strong, being the top of the races in the universe, wasn't something good and great for the future of the new generations.
And so I wanted to speak about this with him. And luckily for me, this dude here seemed to share the same point of view with me.
[But what?]
"Leaving such talents to rot, to lose hope and lose their way is something awful, a big loss if you asked my opinion about it."
[No one asked for your opinion here, kid!]
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) "I'm just giving away my opinion for free then," I laughed.
[What do you want? Tell me directly!]
"A recruitment chance!"
[What does even that mean?]
"After all this, my kingdom will be firmly established. And as I got lots of lands, lots of forces, I need lots of talents to nourish and support."
[You can find them yourself. Why include me here? Damn! How come speaking about one point turns all the way around like this?]
"That's because we are speaking about the hope of our universe, right? And without our kids, we have no hope at all!"
[We got the twenty races!]
"They aren't enough! Not even close enough!"please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
[Don't speak nonsense! These races are mighty and scary! You just experienced how strong and mighty that god race is! You also saw how the angels are formidable and scary, right? Not to mention the jumpers…]
"Don't give me any bullshit about those cowards! Mighty race? The jumpers?!! Come on! If it's up to me, then I'll turn them into the most pathetic race in the entire universe."
[It's just your trauma from that dude with the mask next to you. Don't let your emotions get into your mind, change your judgement!]
"I'm not! Didn't you see how annoyingly peaceful these dudes were living? Didn't you see how their ancestors made sure that no one would ever come and help in rescuing them?"
[This… This was just to preserve their offsprings and future generations from harm]
"No! You are the one who is getting his emotions into his mind and affects his judgement! These dudes… They don't deserve any kind of special treatment at all! And hell no, they aren't any mighty or formidable, and don't hold any hope for our universe."
[That's just your opinion, and thanks god you're not the one holding the hammer here]
"Neither do you," I paused, putting a serious look on my face. "Tell me, Mr. Big Shot, do you find it a little funny and bitter?"
[Find what?]
"You, all of you, the system and everything else in the universe," I paused, trying to organise my thoughts, select my words quite properly, "do you not find it a bit weird that you hold such power, and still you hold nothing in the end? Advisor? That's the role you are proud of? Satisfied with? Come on! Without the system, without all of your contributions and effort, how can things end up being good for everyone else? Huh? Tell me, what would happen if you decided one day to go offline, shut off the system, and leave this entire universe on its own? What will happen?"
[We won't do any of this! And damn! Why are we even talking about such things again?]
"We are talking about the hope our universe has, and for a start, it's all starting with you, all of you, the system and its higher ups!"
[I…]
"Just listen to my opinion and decide for yourself later on if you'll follow my advice or just call me a crazy and delusional human kid," I took in a deep breath, organised my thoughts a bit more before adding:
"The universe can't go on like this without a leader leading it. I won't speak about the various big races out there. All of them are self focused, only caring about getting more benefits or keeping themselves on their high thrones. I'm speaking about true leaders, those who will shoulder anything and everything on their own, take the big benefits of the universe above anything else, even their own benefits, and see them through."
[We have the council of all the big races in the universe…]
"Don't give me this bullshit! Democracy? It's for peaceful times and weak fools! We need strong and capable leaders, one who will lead us forcibly towards the front. And sir, you and others at your place, can act as these leaders."
[Don't throw us in hot waters and think we'll accept this! This isn't our turf! Not our role!]
"You are wrong! Again, what will happen to all of us without the system? Without your help and intervention? Come on! Without you, there would have never been a single force here to shine or even call themselves strong! If not for you, none of this will be possible. Speaking about hope? Without proper leadership, ones who truly hold the real power and can force the entire ship of the universe to sail in the right direction, there is no hope at all! No matter how many formidable races we saved, no matter how many formidable races we got, we will still fail and lose in the end! Without generals, no army, no matter how big and huge in size it is, can win a war against any foe, no matter how small this enemy is!"
Chapter 1547 Starting My Offence
[Kid… Since when did you become this big talker? Last time I checked, you came from a nameless race, one that had zero accomplishments in the universe]
"It's not about where I came from, or from where I learnt all this. Life is my big teacher, my mentor, and I learnt a lot during it. No matter who I am, my words hold a logic you can't even argue with!"
[That doesn't mean I will take it for granted! Doesn't mean I'll follow your sayings!]
"I'm not asking either for that," I shrugged, "I'm just expressing my opinion. If we want hope, if you are truly seeking hope for our universe, out of this dilemma, then the solution is much simpler than you think… Step up! Man up and take the responsibility of everything in the universe. Lead us, unite us together and let us win this entire war."
[Hmm… I can't help but ask, what do you get from all of this?]
"I already told you," I laughed, "recruitment chance!"
[Your greed… Shows no end, kiddo!]
"I'm just realistic," I smiled, as if he said a piece of compliment or something, "I got a kingdom that needs my full support and attention, all the help it can get."
[Sure, by stealing talents from other big races. That's indeed a great cause and justified reason for such theft]
"They are mistreating their offsprings, not I!" I seriously said, "just take a tour around, see how these capable talents are treated there. I'm not judging anyone, but if they take such gems as dirt, then let these dirt leave and join other places, other forces, where we'll all treat them the right way they should."
[Tsk! What a troublesome little kid you are!]
"So…"
[You got five times of my help]
"That's not what I was talking about!"
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ [I can't promise you anything. Just focus on your stuff, and let me worry about mine]
"Fine!" I knew trying to push things here would backfire. After all, all the races in the universe were watching this show. And the big names realised my real intentions from all this.

But what if they knew? I wanted nothing more than more chances for my kingdom. And even if they felt displeased, I wouldn't care.
All I cared about was my kingdom. And just now I instigated the thought inside this higher up and others as well.
It was up to them to decide what they'd do from now on. And as for me, I'd keep myself in the audience seats, watching all this happening from the side.
And as I got what I wanted, it was time for me to start my full out attack.
[Where is that jerk?] The first thing I did was to open a chat with Lily, ask her about the jumper.
[He is still trying to gather more intel about the situation out there. But things are quite bad for now per his words]
[How so?]
[They are gathering most of their forces up there, surrounding the bubbles of races he found so far]
[I see… Does he have any portal with him? Nearby portal?]
[I believe he was in the sixth enemy world base before all this happened]
[Good that you know where that jerk is]please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
[Are you going there? Are you going to leave this place for now?]
[I will jump over to the other side indeed] I paused, [But that jerk's place will be the last one I'll visit. Let him suffer a little]
[This… But he is waiting for your arrival!]
[I have lots of things on the stake here. So it's better to diver the enemy's attention elsewhere, before I'd go to rescue him]
[Why am I feeling like you are going to punish him?]
[He deserves that, right? Are you going to defend him?]
[Well… If it's for the greater good, then I will]
[The greater good… Nice reason, but it's not enough] I laughed, [I also got another greater good reason in my mind. So he is going to wait]
[He is going to be mad]
[I bet he is!]
I laughed, and for a reason, I felt like she was laughing as well.
[What shall we do here?]
[I tried to help with everything I got. Many places are stabilised already. Our forces are uniting and merging together, giving the enemy hellish time]
[But…]
[I know it's not enough. But it's still a good gain so far. Wait for more hours, until the entire merge is over. Then use our newly arrived forces to help the existing ones. Also spread over the word, the top priority for any scattered forces is to merge together, find each other, and fight as a whole united army]
[They know that! But the enemy isn't giving them any advantage at all!]
[Just let them stick around for a bit longer, if possible] I sighed, [I got no time to waste here. The entire war is still on the risk of being lost]
[Damn! Even after what we all did?]
[Yes! We did lot of things, but it seems we still didn't do enough]
[Damn! Ok, let me see what I can do then]
She realised how bad our situation was. She went to do her stuff, and it was time for me to shift my attention towards the enemy homelands.
I instantly gathered up my scattered Kings, jumped back to the ground zero portal area, before finally going through one portal.
It was leading towards one of the enemy homelands. In fact, I didn't know which portal led to which world. I lost track of all the portals I established here, only knew in general which led to other zones, which led to worlds, and which led to the enemy homelands.
The moment I passed through it, I appeared in another piece of this awesome world. This time, the sky wasn't purely lit by the sun, or filled with clouds.
Instead, it was filled with flying enemies everywhere! Forming an entire sky of their own! They shielded the sun, and the ground was filled to the brim with endless armies that stretched to the end of the sight.
Chapter 1548 A Brutal Battle
I knew I appeared in the middle of the enemy main force. I appeared like a black duck in the middle of all this. And the moment I appeared, everyone stopped what they were doing, turning around, and gazed in hostility towards my direction.
"Sorry guys, but does anyone know where New York is from here?" I shouted while snapping my finger, "but first, let me pay you up ahead, pay you back in full!"
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ And the next moment, the entire world around me got filled with tons of forces. I got my Kings out, my warriors with full stats out, even my soulers as well.
I didn't keep my hands at all, took out my cube, and started to activate it.
"Oh, so you are well prepared for my cube… Interesting!" This was the first time my cube failed to execute its magic like usual.
But I already expected this. After all, the enemy got enough time to prepare and find ways to negate my trump cards.
"Let's see about this then… Thundering Might!" I didn't get depressed by any of that, simply switched my cube with my pillar after releasing tons of forces that were imprisoned inside the cube.
"It's good you didn't find a way to handle my shields yet," I watched as the shield I summoned expanded fast, went outside to cover up a large stretch of land.
I felt like something sprung out the moment my shield appeared. Yet it failed to stop my shield in the end. My shield got the ability to go through any obstacle to matter what it was.
Like this my forces got a strong backing around. And as I knew the enemy would prepare more than one trick to fight my shield, I started to summon more shields while leaving all the fight for my warriors and troops.
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
The entire place turned like a true piece of hell. Everywhere blood, heart curdling screams, and agonic shouts were filling the entire world around.
In the middle of all this, I kept using my protective shield without a single moment of pause. In a few minutes, I gathered enough, and this came just in time to help in stopping what was coming.
"So you got something to use against my shields? What is it? A colossal driller or what?" I raised an eyebrow, looking towards a mountain sized spear like a drill, then kept spinning fast as it headed towards my shield.
I didn't need someone to tell me this was the work of an artefact.
I knew the impact would be brutal, but I never expected that close to half of my shields got smashed into pieces the moment that it landed.
"Damn! This damn colossal driller had to be stopped!" I muttered while watching that damn weapon retreat fast, drawing distance from my remaining shields, preparing for another strike.
If I tried to make up for the damaged shields, then by any means I would fail to do so.
The only option I got was to lead the way, go out there, and fight that damn thing solo.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
However I knew if I ever did that, I'd end up falling in the trap of the enemy. It was better for me to find another way to handle this colossal weapon. And for a moment there I felt a little puzzled, before finally finding a way to solve this mess.
"If you think you are strong and mighty, then let me show you the true might of my board," I took out my board, gushed out lots of my bones, and started to channel all the energy I absorbed into the board.
And the next thing happened was for the entire gravity here to change. I controlled the gravity to make everyone get affected by it, before taking out my trident, gushing a similar amount of energy into it, enforcing all of my forces.
I did the same like I did once before, handicapped everyone while increasing the stats of my forces to the max. This made my forces able to move, freely go around, before attacking and killing the enemies.
As for that colossal spear, it finally got affected by my board's gravity, fall into the ground.
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
An ear deafening clanging noises came the moment that colossal spear fell to the ground. It kept vibrating, releasing deadly waves all over the place.
"Just shut the hell up, you damn piece of sh*t!" I watched all these vibrations coming at everything around, sweeping the entire world around, crushing any living soul around, even ending up cracking my shields and smashing a few into shreds.
I didn't hesitate, moved my wings and flew with my chariot towards the direction of that spear.
I knew I had a narrow window to act here. This wasn't the first time for me to use such an artefact. And the enemy must have thoroughly studied everything about me, ending up getting many things prepared to stop me.
So I moved my chariot, and prepared to interfere myself fast to stop this spinning drill.
To stop it, there was a single method available for me. I never thought about using my glaive at this moment. After all, this was a high grade artefact, and it wouldn't get affected by my glaive this easily.
My chariot moved like a sent out rocket, launched directly towards that annoying spear.
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
The moment I got out of my shield zone, I got to hear and feel the true might of this deadly weapon.
I felt lucky that I got my chariot's shield to protect and shield me from most of the deadly sound attacks. Yet my shield got many cracks, and from these the sound attack managed to find its way towards my ears.
"Damn those motherf*ckers!" I held my ears with both hands, "I swear I will use this damn spear once against you, I will f*ck you all using this damn piece of sh*t!"
Chapter 1549 My Chariot In Danger!
I felt pain for a long time. Since I became strong, since I started to cultivate, it wasn't that easy to meet anything that could hurt me.
Yet this spear here managed to do it! And that was enough evidence on how deadly and quite special it was.
"Get in here!" The last few hundreds metres away from this damn piece of metal was like a true nightmare. What I feared happened, and a sudden bubble appeared fast, trying to encapsulate this damn spear and shield it off from my reach.
But the moment I spotted this fast arching light coming from the ground around the spear, I didn't hesitate and flipped my wings, using them for the first time ever in a real battle.
I moved like a cannonball, headed at a speed that turned everything around me into flashing dots of light.
I felt massive pain all of sudden, and that told me I already hit that spear.
Without thinking about anything, I stored away the trident, extended my hand and touched that damn spear.
I felt like I touched the centre of an earthquake or something. My entire arm and body trembled alongside it, making me gush more energy into my board, to finally shut up this damn spear.
"Just get in there!" I never tried to take anything into my inventory aside from bones. But this dude here was an exception, something I wanted to get, and tame later on.
*Buzz!*
"Just shut the hell up and get inside!" I roared, and the entire bones' energy gushed into my board, and the maximum power of gravity got enforced over any target since I acquired this board.
*Fwoosh!*

After struggling for ten seconds, that damn beast finally gave in and got sucked inside my inventory.
This was the only plan I could think of, the one to solve such trouble and give myself one hellish artefact.
But I didn't feel any excitement the moment I got it inside my inventory. First, this artefact needed lots of time and effort to get tamed. And second, and most important of all, there was no time for me to even laugh or feel happy about this.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ The moment that annoying piece of weapon vanished, I took out my staff, activated the bookmark of a place I saved here before, then vanished from this spot.
When I appeared, I was way far from my chariot. "Come back!" I shouted, but unlike what I used to have, the chariot refused to listen to me.
I could see its shield trembling fiercely under invisible waves attacking it. "Damn it! You shut your eyes over my precious girl? No f*cking way!"
I grew used to my chariot for a long time already, dealing with it like I was dealing with my arm or leg.
Trying to get my chariot away from me? Did they think we were playing an eye for an eye here or what?
I didn't flinch, and instantly flapped my wings while moving forward quite fast. The initial momentum I got from my chariot vanished, and I had to start building up speed again.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
I didn't accept such a waste of time without doing something. Trying to activate the trident or the board wasn't going to happen. After all I got to use bones, and without my chariot as my movable backyard, I couldn't do it anymore.
That just showed how much my chariot played in my current way of fighting and strength.
I started to summon more shields, strengthening the already few shields I got here. At the same time, I used the expansion ability of my shields, and let the new ones add more space for the old ones.
They wanted to take my chariot away? Let me see how they'd do that with my fast growing shields here.
I could see the shield of my chariot trembling violently as if it was getting pressured by an unknown force. But just halfway through, I watched my shields finally reach towards my chariot.
*Rumble!*
And like two formidable beings clashed against each other, the entire world rumbled while the shape of what was attacking my chariot started to appear in my eyes at last.
It was a colossal being, something that had no appearance except translucent one. I couldn't tell if it was a race or a monster, but it was something that was at least a few hundred metres in length.
"I'd take you as a damn beast to kill," I didn't care what identity this damn thing was. As long as it sat its eyes over my chariot, it was game over for it.
To kill a beast I'd prefer to use another beast to do it. It was just unlucky that the merge wasn't over yet, and my little Qi wasn't here alongside my other monsters.
Or else this damn brat out there would have faced its nemesis and learnt its lesson quite well.
As I didn't get any access to my beasts, I got my own beast out.
"Time to show your deadly sharpness, little dragon glaive!" I waved my glaive high in the air, rose in an arc up in the sky, before falling like a meteorite over the illusionary body of that dude.
I didn't know if it was a real body or just a manifestation of power. If it was the latter, then I'd simply pass through it, ending up inside my chariot.
And if it got real body, then it was time for my glaive to shine.
*Flop!"
Against my expectations, I didn't get to hear any clanging sound, didn't feel any pain in my arms, or fierce resistance coming at my glaive.
What I felt was something weird... It was like a bubble of soap that I burst open. I looked and couldn't help but see my glaive sinking slowly inside this monster's illusionary body, sinking deeply into it as if it hit water and not a solid thing.
Damn! What the heck did these fiends bring to me?
Chapter 1550 The Merge Is Complete
But no matter what, even if it was an entire ocean, I'd not flinch and burn it all.
I took out one of my purple dark realm bones. I never used such a thing before. But right now, and in front of such a threat coming at my chariot, I got to use everything I got, the best and cruellest thing I had.
I knew my bone would explode, taking away anything in its path, even my chariot.
But luckily for me, my chariot was already protected by the body of that damn beast. I got nothing to worry about, and the moment that beast would be dead, many things would happen at the same time.
First my shields would spring outwards, covering my chariot and protecting it from the fire.
At the same time, the chariot would get protected for a few seconds by its shield. I was sure the energy stored inside would be mostly depleted after this, but it was worth getting my chariot back.
My warriors were already fighting inside the shields of mine, so they got no risk at all. I took half an hour to activate this bone, while keeping the pressure over this weird monster using my pillar's shields.
My glaive proved its failure against such a monster, and only my pillar's shields could exert pressure over it.
So while waiting for my bone to get cooked enough, I had to keep this monster busy and not relieve it from my pressure.
"It's time!"
During all this, the monster tried to crush the shield over my little baby. It looked like a colossal duck sitting on its eggs, waiting for them to mature. But this duck here didn't want my chariot to ripen, but to burst into shreds.
I watched all its attempts without saying a single word. In return I kept focusing on activating my bone, until it was finally done.
*Rumble!*
I threw it like someone throwing a nuke, turned around and flashed back inside my shield.
I'd not dare to be far away from my chariot, had to be ready to step in the moment this motherf*cker died.
The world turned all bright in front of my eyes, and I had to wait until all of the light would fade to see, or perhaps that monster would die first and my shields would spread outwards.
And if anything wrong happened, I was close by, activating a new bone and making it ready to detonate if I ever needed to.
I knew that by releasing such a high grade bone and letting it detonate, it'd take a long time. But on the other hand, it'd cover lots of space, kill lots of the enemy forces.
Yet that didn't give me any source of happiness. I didn't see anything good in killing more enemies, not anything that could bring me joy in clearing lots of places around using this fire. All I was thinking about right now was my chariot, and only it.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
I didn't even care about the brutal fight going on inside my shields. The enemy troops got trapped inside, with deadly fire standing on the outer door, an impregnable layer of shields that stopped them from getting out or in, and tons of my forces fighting and killing them without showing mercy.
I knew the enemy would suffer a lot, but I still wanted my chariot.
I didn't know that before, yet to me this chariot became like part of my family, part of my body. And right now I felt like I lost an arm or something.
I got to get my chariot back, no matter what!
I waited, ignoring everything in this world, even the constant messages coming from Lily about the current update of the war.
One day passed, and that damn jerk was still alive! F*ck it! Why wouldn't it just go and die?!
During all this, Lily kept informing me of all the updates of this war. The battles everywhere were quite ugly, and the enemy never stopped coming with more troops no matter what.
My forces tried to regroup, fight against the enemies, do everything they could, and still we lost too much. The enemy was already ushering their weapons in our faces like the entire world belonged to them.
And when everything pointed towards great losses, things changed!
One day passed, and with it, the announcement of the merge getting done finally arrived.
[Attention! The merge of all the worlds here is finished. Right now, the final battle for the golden quest will start. To check the list of rewards of the winners, please go to your profile page]
I didn't delay and checked, and there I found what I asked that higher up for.
"At least you got morale and kept your words to the end," I read the final list of the rewards for the top one place to make sure I didn't get screwed up or something at any point.
The final winner, the owner of the first place, would get not only tons of stat points, coins, gears, and other useless stuff for me, but he'd also get the ownership of the final world here, a one hundred years protection period, an access for the outer battlefield, a seat at the universe main council, and access to the central database of the system headquarter.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom I didn't know what was the value of attending that universal council, nor the aim of that system higher up of giving me access to the outer battlefield.
However they all came as a single package, alongside tons of benefits. I looked at the access of the system database, and couldn't help but feel familiar and melancholic.
All this started by my grave and hunger for knowledge. I kept visiting and reading old records about what happened in the apocalypse, to my Earth and humans before and after the apocalypse.
Getting knowledge was something that ran deep into my blood. And getting such access again made me crave for the time I'd get such access to that place.
Chapter 1551 The Enemy's True Scheme
"What will I get there? Stories about what happened to all the races in the universe or what?" I asked myself this, while closing the page.
And then I turned my attention towards that damn stubborn beast.
"I won't sit idle and watch you die slowly like this," I took out my pillar, and kept summoning shields again. The shields proved to be the only thing working over this dude, and at this moment, any help was needed to bring it down.
I lost count on how many shields I kept summoning. The world out there stopped flaring in bright light long hours ago, and only bright purple fire kept dancing and covering everything in the world till horizon.
Nothing would survive this fire, not even those damn Exomachines. Nothing would stop me from getting my chariot back.
The fire rose high, high enough to cover at least one mile in height. I couldn't tell or see anything happening down there, but after the announcement came, I lost my patience and decided to go and check on my chariot.
Of course trying to get through the fire would be futile. I thought about taking out my Exomachines and letting them work and secure my travel there. Yet when I recalled how my cube got sealed, I couldn't help but inwardly sigh.
"Come back!" I got only one way to do it, which was by calling my chariot back. Yet nothing happened, and that made me more restless and worried about it.
"Screw it! I wouldn't stay here anymore and watch my girl getting barbecued like this!" After a few more hours, and many more failed attempts, I finally lost my cool and decided to go out there and try to get through my fire.
To fight a fire, I got to use a fire of my own. I went high up in the air, above the level of this fire, and then went outside.
The moment I did, I felt how hot it was. The first thing I did was to use my board and control gravity around.
The entire world got crushed under the new gravity. I tested it once before, and my fire got affected by my board's gravity.
I had no way to use lots of bones like before, so I just took bones out, threw them in the air, while controlling my energy and absorbed them fast.
This limited how much bones I could use at the same time. But it was enough to affect gravity in a tens of miles radius area, including the place that got my chariot.
The fire that was previously acting wild started to get pressured. It looked as if it got flattened by a heavy subject or something, ending up with a flat surface that wasn't higher than tens of metres off the ground.
And by this, I finally managed to see my chariot.
"Damn! That damn beast… Those damn fiends… They didn't bring the monster to pressure my chariot! But to just protect the forces inside its body from the fire.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
Those friends… They anticipated my response correctly, and planned everything based on my use of the bone.
When the fire got pressured by the gravity field, I could see my chariot and that monster. The monster that looked translucent before was now showing off its pale yellow body, surrounding the chariot like a colossal ball that separated what was inside from the fire outside.
It engulfed my chariot, and down in its body there were lots of weird looking races that tried to tear down my chariot's shield.
I spotted lots of tentacles, each came out from a single dark brown ball with wrinkles like the skin of an old man. They got one elliptical eye in the middle, with three up to nine tentacles coming out from these.
Each tentacle ended up with three finger-like endings, holding weird looking hammers with short handles, and emitting sparkles of fire and lightning of different lights when they hit the shield of my chariot.
ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom They kept hammering and damaging my baby's shield non-stop. Each strike left behind a streak of dancing lightning and fire, eating away part of my baby's shield.
I got to feel surprised and quite angry about all this. If I didn't come, take the risk, and preferred to stay behind and wait for the fire to die down, then by this time my chariot would be gone.
I now realised why my pillar's shields failed to pressure that jerk. I saw it suck in my fire, seemingly strengthening itself and replenishing the lost energy inside.
This… This was bad! And luckily for me, I got to see all this at the right time.
"Stay your hands away from my damn chariot!" I roared in rage, took out my glaive and held it with my right arm, then headed directly towards that damn ball looking beast, smashing my glaive with everything I got.
The glaive this time didn't end up the same. It didn't give me the feelin it went through something jelly and soft.
Instead, an earth shattering clang appeared. The glaive left a deep indentation upon that monster, enough to let the fire gush inside its body for the first time ever.
And then I spotted two weird things happening at the same time.
First the fire started to burn away its body as I expected. But the moment that beast trembled faintly, all this changed.
It looked as if the beast got steroids not fire, and started to repair all the damage my glaive and fire did at a fast rate. I watched new pale yellow flesh expand and merge, covering up the small gulf created by my glaive, aiming to end up things to what it was before my glaive hit.
"Not a chance!" It was awesome indeed, if this monster worked under me and not against me. I was surprised for a few seconds, before I started to madly move my glaive around.
Chapter 1552 The Battlefield Grows
"Give back my chariot, damn thieves!" I roared with each wave of my glaive, with every hit, roared like a true madman, while adding more gulfs and deepening the gaps created by my glaive.
It was going to work, if not for the sudden appearance of a new challenge from far.
"You really want to steal my chariot away, right?" I looked at the direction the newly weird birds were coming towards here.
Each bird got four pairs of wings, and weirdly enough they weren't beating the air around in sync or cooperation.
In fact, they weren't flying by any common sense or knowledge I had before about flying. They looked as if all the wings were beating on the wrong note, antagonising themselves, but ending up in making these birds actually fly!
Damn! These were really weird creatures and monsters! But that wasn't what the enemy sent towards my direction. But what lay on the backs of these birds was.
I looked up and saw lots of weird looking apes standing on the back of these birds. Each bird was enough to carry thousands of these apes, and there were hundreds of thousands of these birds as far as I could tell so far.
As for these apes, they were giant guerilla-like apes, with ten metres in height, bulging muscles with silver long hair that looked like needles, and up to five horns on their heads.
Each of these held weapons, wore gauntlets with sharp claws, and had on up to three long tails, that each exceeded ten metres in length.
Damn those fiends and their new allies! They were adamant on taking down my chariot.
"F*ck it!" I didn't hesitate anymore, held my glaive with both hands, and decided to dive directly into that weird monster's body.
The glaive could release hellish strength as a skill. And at this moment, I wouldn't hesitate to use all the skills of that glaive, all at once.
ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom As I activated all the skills, the glaive felt like it grew in heaviness. Its weight reached a limit that I couldn't handle, took itself and my body alongside it and felt like a meteorite towards the ground.
*Boom!*
This time the attack came heavily at this monster, ending up creating a deep crater down there. This time I didn't withdraw the glaive, and let it keep sinking deeper, releasing more energy.
At this moment, I took back my board, let the deadly fire that got suppressed before to rile up wildly and crazily, engulfing most of the incoming enemies from far.
The birds flew on a slightly low altitude, and that made most if not all of the birds I could see get engulfed into the ocean of my fire.
The world around me changed and only the body of that monster replaced everything. I didn't fret, and kept using the skills of my glaive one after another.
"It's enough," I kept doing this for the next few minutes, and at some point, I decided to stop this and do something totally insane.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
"I hope you won't kill me!" I already got one dark realm bone on the verge of activation, needing the last few touches for it to release its fire.
I knew that depending only on my glaive wouldn't work. And instead, I got a crazy plan into my mind.
Why wouldn't I put that monster's ability to absorb and deal with my fire under test?
I dug a hole inside this monster's body, and when I reached deep enough, I did two things at the same time.
First I finished activating the bone, and threw it into the gap around. And then I took out my staff, activated a bookmark at the shields nearby, and vanished through the portal before my body would get trapped into this monster's body completely, or get bathed by the deadly fire coming out from my bone.
*Fwoosh!*
The moment I appeared inside the shields, all I saw was a sea of fire. I didn't know if my plan worked or not, and couldn't risk retreating the fire back or else the incoming enemies would find a chance to escape this hell.
Many birds were already flying out from the reach of the fire, with their bodies totally torched by it. It was too late for them to survive, and they tried their best to carry their cargo and deliver the apes to the shield zone fast before they'd die.
"Don't tell me these apes can deal with my shields!" Seeing this made this thought flash in my mind. The enemy already knew most of my tricks and strong forts. And so trying to make these apes arrive here in such a way meant they had the ability to handle my shields.
And that was pretty damn bad!
"Go out there," but who said I was out of options? I summoned more Kings out, and let these crazy dudes get out of the shield, attack the incoming birds and apes.
These Kings weren't like my soulers, they could fly! And even if my soulers could fly using gears, these Kings were flying naturally.
So it was better to let them do it instead of my soulers. After all, I got enough from these, more than what I had of soulers by many folds.
Losing these would be quite painful, but not like losing my soulers. I could create more Kings using souls that I accumulated at any given time. But trying to summon soulers with gears? That was something that needed more than just souls.
If the enemy placed much importance over these apes to take down my shields, then it was crucial for me to take them down before arriving at the shield zone.
And simply like that the entire battle here extended outside on an alarming fast pace. The fight that started in a small area kept escalating outwards, at the same time that I kept taking out tons of Kings from my inventory.
These dudes were crazy and brutal! They kept flying and flashing, killing tons of enemies at a fast pace.
Chapter 1553 I Got My Chariot Back!
But on the other side, the enemy seemed quite persistent in sending their apes here. And after half an hour, new enemies started to appear.
"Damn! These worms… They got armoured worms that I never saw before!" from the middle of the ocean of fire, colossal beings started to rise up from there, looking like the ugly and ferocious worms, but with armours covering up their entire bodies.
These thick scales that looked like giant dragon scales kept their bodies safe from the deadly fire around. Only a few parts kept burning, making them twitch fiercely in pain.
Yet that helped them to hit many of my Kings and eat up lots of others during their fierce twists and moves.
This looked quite bad, but the good news was that the number of these worms wasn't more than one hundred thousands.
And the better news was that they didn't just eat up my forces alone, but also theirs as well. Tons of birds and apes fell on the hands of these worms. And that was like shooting one's foot to wound one's enemy.
It meant the enemy was desperate to deal with all this. And when I was thinking about the right way to handle these worms, the entire world around me trembled fiercely.
*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*
It felt like a volcano was erupting at one spot. And when I turned to see the direction of all this new mess, I froze when I realised where it was.
"Come back here, goddammit!" It was the place of my chariot and that monster. That explosion told me one thing, my plan worked!
And without any hesitation, I called my chariot back. And at last I saw it lying inside my inventory.

"Baby… My little precious baby… What did they do to you?!!" I instantly took it out, and then was shocked to see the lots of damage it took.
The chariot that once was majestic and mighty was now filled with cracks and damaged spots all over it. It seemed like a ghost ship, not my beloved and perfect chariot.
*Boom!*
And before I'd even find the time to closely inspect it, the place of that monster suddenly exploded. It was literally like a volcano erupting, sending out fire arms high in the air, covering up the entire sky and painting the world in pure purple colour.
"Come back here!" I didn't even wait for a single second to see what was going on, and simply called back all of my forces outside.
If things happened the same way I envisioned them, then the bone that exploded and killed that beast would now expand and release all of its deadly fire like a mighty nuke.
ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom The entire world would be covered with the shocking fire, and lots of places around would be burnt down. The areas near here would be filled with waves after waves of fire, rising up much more than what the fire already reached.
The enemy… They were an end story by now. And if I left my Kings out there, then they'd end up dying no matter what.
It would be a big loss for me. So when that explosion appeared, I didn't hesitate to call back all of my Kings, and waited inside my shields as I watched the world burn and tremble under the might of my bone.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
"Another bone, more bones then," and at this moment, I grew instantly crazy. I took out one bone after another, and kept activating and releasing them outside the shields, adding more fuel to the deadly fire.
If fire was enough to take down most of the enemy forces around, then I'd prefer to use this instead of risking losing more of my forces.
After a few hours, and as I released more than ten bones, I stopped and turned over to my chariot.
It looked quite bad. And seeing it in such a state made my heart ache.
"Damn those bastards!" I took it back and checked its details. There was a word 'Damaged' next to its name. And there was a new paragraph speaking about this new state.
[Damaged state: the chariot faced great destruction and suffered heavy damage. It can't be used properly for now. Most of its functions are sealed. To repair it, a trillion stat crystals are needed. A piece of advice: don't use it often from now on, or else it might break apart]
I looked at this paragraph, reread it many times, before finally sighing.
Repairing it using such a crazy amount of stat points? What the heck these f*cking fiends did exactly here?
I turned towards the world around me. "I'll turn this entire world into an ocean of fire for you, my little darling," I muttered, while clenching my fists.
I planned to go all out, act crazy in front of these damn fiends.
My fire was already at a stage I never experienced before. I knew it was now covering lots of places, and would keep burning like this for many days, if not many weeks.
So staying here wasn't going to do me any good. I could just fly on top of this fire continent that I created. But it would be pointless.
I'd not find many enemies to kill. I got a burning oven inside my chest, the thing that was once before my heart.
I wanted to find tons of enemies, kill and hack them to pieces, vent my anger and feel a little relieved.
"I will travel across this world then," as staying here was pointless, I decided to roam the enemy homebases and bring them trouble everywhere.
The enemy already got ten worlds of his merged here. And they got an endless number of forces to stop me from reaching the trapped races.
Waiting for more weeks and even months to reach these entrapped races? That wasn't anything bad at all.
My fire would kill most of the forces in a huge area around. And for a reason I believe the bubbles these races were trapped inside would get engulfed in the middle of these fire oceans.
Chapter 1554 Fang And Wryly Are Dead!
Like this, the enemy would lose access towards the races as well. And I'd also have more time to handle the situation in the other parts of this world.
It was like creating a situation where no one would emerge victorious, or would be able to move a single step forward. This wasn't the most perfect situation for me, for the enemy, but it was still advantageous for me.
Instead of rushing things on all fronts, while losing a lot in doing that, it was best to stabilise one front, and focus on other battlefields.
I wasn't just buying a few days' time for me and my forces, but long weeks and months. That was enough to make me handle the battles on the mainland here, check the new status of the world, and establish the reign of my kingdom here.
After all, even if I won this apocalypse, this golden quest, won the ownership of this world, it wasn't going to mean anything in the end if I didn't fully control the entire world, conquered all the races and forces here, and dominated everything.
So I decided to go around, and before that, I first started to do something else.
I strengthen myself using my various sacrifices. After all, I didn't have my chariot for now. And I'd have to first spread fire and death around, before repairing my chariot.
I wouldn't try to heal it right here, not in the middle of the enemy's deep lands. I knew I got the enemy cornered by this fire, but I'd not be that confident that they'd have something to handle this fire.
Just recalling the armoured worms made me feel that the enemy got many cards prepared to handle my worms. And as such, I left enough forces behind at this bubble zone, strengthened it by adding more shields, before finally flashing back to the ground zero point.
"You are finally back! Did you find these races? Did you give the enemy a hard time?"
The moment I appeared at ground zero, I found Lily waiting for me there.
She wasn't indeed waiting for me, but it was just out of pure coincidence that she was here when I arrived.
Weirdly enough, she was all alone, standing on her chariot, while tons of forces were coming out or towards many portals here.

"Wait… Where is your chariot?" she looked at me, up and down, sizing me up, and asked the most painful question right now.
"Not the right time to speak about it," I said, waving my arm, "now tell me what's going on here? Why does this place look like a circus!"
"This… Don't tell me you lost it? Damn lord! You lost your signature chariot? Wow! That's…"
"Just shut up!" I roared at her, while my heart was already deeply hurt, "tell me what you are doing here?"
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Well, if you want my chariot, just ask for it, no offence but I got it from you."
"..." the corners of my eyes twitched while I glared at her. She said good and kind words but in a way that told me she was mocking and making fun out of me.
Her face told me how much she enjoyed this, acting totally against what her words really meant.
"Well, we are just facing hard times everywhere… Didn't you read my messages?"
"I read a few," I didn't change my serious and threatening look towards her, as she didn't change her amusing looking expression over her face.
"This… Sign! Was it this bad?"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom
Her words only lacked a cruel long laugh to suit her face and attitude. For a moment there, I wanted to go and punch her in the face, give that little face covered with fine scales a remodelling tough and a puffy eye or something.
"Ok, fine, I'll speak," she seemed to see through my intentions, and hurriedly shouted as she retreated her chariot for tens of metres back, away from me.
And I simply followed.
"Stay back! I was just showing empathy for you!"
"I'm going to repay this kindness then," I kept flying and chasing her around, and she felt how dangerous it was going to be if she kept her attitude going.
"Sorry, I apologise, I won't make fun of it anymore. Please, let me free, let me go."
"Tsk! Why did you place yourself in the face of danger in the first place then?" I cracked my knuckles, "just a single punch, one punch and we can call it even."
"No, go and find some bullshit fiends and punch them to your heart's content."
"I was going to do so, until I met you."
"Then make it like you never saw me," she kept running and screaming for help, while I kept chasing her around.
During this, I opened her last messages, and there I found many things that I didn't know about.
I was totally busy and absorbed in fighting the enemy, retrieving my chariot back, and paying the enemy triple for their unforgivable insult and crime.
But things didn't look that great at other battles.
"What the heck? Even the stupid Berserkers turned their backs on us?!" I stopped chasing her, while reading the shocking news she sent over.
"Not only them, but even the Selvators did! Everyone is now turning their blades at our people!"
"What did these two do exactly?!" I paused, while feeling more enraged about Wryly and Fang's actions.
"Well… These two… They…"
"They are what?" I wasn't in the mood to listen to her sputtering and hesitating words.
"They are dead!"
"..."
"Their races captured them. And they tried to run away, but they ended up getting killed," she sighed, "the ones we left behind had it hard in the past few weeks. We lost most of our kingdom's lands. And if not for the many defensive setups we left back there, if not for the large armies we stacked in the other world, we'd have lost all of the kingdom by now."
Chapter 1555 Going Back To My Kingdom
"Are they insane!" I roared, taking a few minutes to calm down slowly.
"They must have made a deal with the Hescos," she paused, "and right now, after the merge, this big war got just bigger, with more enemies added to our list, and our forces are getting slaughtered everywhere."
I looked at her eyes, then around.
"They are forces that I managed to recall from other battlefields," she explained when she noticed my gaze, "we managed to stabilise many places thanks to your help. But…"
"Just let everyone hang on for a few more days," I said in a calm tone, one that was enough to make anyone hearing it shudder in deep fear.
"And?"
"And then I'll personally come and lead everyone towards victory."
"This… But how about the other races? The ones entrapped out there?"
"I'm just doing something," I paused when I recalled something, "tell that jerk that he has to either get away from any portal location as far as possible, or go back here."
"But…"
"Tell him that if he didn't do as I said, then don't blame me for ending up losing his life," I coldly said, "there isn't a way out from what I'm going to release over these damn fiends. And once I'm done, in a few more days, I'll come back here, take the lead on everything, and crush everyone, all of them will die!"
"O… Ok…"

"Where is everyone?" I looked around, and yet again I couldn't find anyone else but her.
"Well… We got lots of our forces from the merge as you know, however…"
"However… What?"
"We lost lots of our generals already, and the places where our people arrived at are really far from any nearby portals. Not to mention that the portals here aren't linked by any portals out there. So…"
"I got it," I waved my arm, interrupting what she wanted to say. I got what happened here. My kingdom and the worlds where my forces appeared were all now scattered over a huge stretch of land, without any means to get the two sides connected together.
We got hellish lots of forces from Earth and other worlds, but these weren't connected to the forces or places here.
The portal system back there wasn't connected to the portal network here. And so she had to send out her capable generals at such stressful moments to relieve the pressure and fill in the gaps of the lost generals.
As for why these generals got lost, I could think of many reasons that she already told me about.
So my forces here were attacked by the enemies from all fronts. While the forces coming from Earth and other worlds were getting slaughtered by the different races.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom
"I'm going to solve this mess," but who said I didn't have a way to solve any of that? I simply took out my staff, selected an old bookmark that led before to the capital of my kingdom, "Wait here, I'm going to connect these places with here."
"This…"
Before she'd say anything, I already activated the staff and vanished through the portal.
Once I appeared at the other end, I couldn't help but feel a little melancholic.
This was my capital, and it still stood tall and firm with all the defences it got. There wasn't a single enemy spotted near or far, and the entire place was filled with tons of my forces.
Things weren't that great indeed and that appeared in the current chaos happening here. People were running everywhere, shouting all the time, and many forces were coming from the portals in the capital, going towards the horizon to support our forces fighting out there.
It looked as if the armies would appear out of nowhere, like they came from nothing and went towards the horizon without showing an end.
"It's time to show those damn fiends, those races, what's the true might of me, of my humans, of my kingdom…"
I instantly opened the market, and bought tens of thousands of portal devices. To solve this problem, a new portal system must be established.
If the enemy thought they'd force my back against the wall by doing this to my kingdom, to my lands, then they just committed a grave mistake.
My kingdom didn't appear out of nowhere, I built it myself. Every single brick it got was laid down there by my hands, each inch of land I got was gained by my effort and sweat.
I visited every inch in my kingdom, visited every single land here, fought till my arms grew numb, and I saved all the places in my staff.
Trying to repeat their scheme in the new world back at me? Humph! You just made the biggest mistake since this war ever started!
I didn't stay there for more than a few minutes, to finalise the deals I just bought. And once I got my portals, I went towards the portal area, and left one thousand of one part of the portals there.
Then I used my staff, and started jumping all over the place, arriving at new places, all the places I conquered before.
I went to New York, New Jersey, or what was left of them. I went to Verginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and even went towards the lands at the east, the continent I gained from the Hectors and lost before.
I visited the north, east, south, and west. I even went towards the lands that I once gave to the treacherous Selvators.
I didn't stop and kept jumping, visiting every single location I ever sat foot at and saved since I ever came back from the future. It took roughly an hour, jumping over tons of places, leaving a hellish lot of portals everywhere.
Even the places that were conquered by zombies, monsters, and my enemies got these portals.
I didn't plan to save anyone from this. I'd regain control over my kingdom by force, nothing else.
Chapter 1556 Establishing Portals
"I'm ready," and finally I returned back to ground zero, where Lily stood in her place, waiting for my arrival, "where do you want the portals?"
"There!" she already guessed what I did, and so she simply pointed towards an empty zone that she already evacuated the forces from.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Cool," I went there, started to leave the portals on the ground, establishing tens of thousands of grand portals everywhere.
"Are these all linked to the kingdom?" she came by my side and asked in doubt.
"Of course," I nodded before laying the last portal down, "but not all the regions are under our control."
"This…"
"Just a little change of plans," I paused, took out my staff again as I added, "I'm going to take two more days to secure these regions. During which, go and bring all the forces here, send them all over the world, and let these fiends and damn traitors pay."
"Are you sure?" she looked at me in doubt, "we already failed before to claim many parts there. And now our forces are getting pressured from all corners."
"Since when did I ever say something and not do it?" I laughed, before finally selecting one location and a portal popped out of thin air next, "just do your task, and leave the big things over to me."
"Good luck."
"To you too," I said this while passing through the portal. I knew we tried before and failed.
Lily was smart enough to get the hidden meanings behind my words. I linked everywhere we conquered and controlled before, including the Hectors continent, including the lands of the Selvators, the lands of us that got taken already by many races.
We tried, but failed to reclaim a single land we lost before on the hands of these zombies. And now the zombies were the least of our worries, as we got tons of other races and many strong enemies coming at our lands.

But that was a past story, a bedtime story for last night. As for tonight, the story would be much different.
I got hellish lots of forces since coming here at the golden quest. If I claimed before I had lots of strength thanks to my hard work and preparations, right now I could say I got much more than that.
I got scary forces by my side. And the beautiful thing in all this was that my little cube was going to work out there.
The cube got to stop working at the lands of the fiends. They did something there to make sure my hands would be tied.
But out there, in my kingdom… It was a different story. It was my home, and there I was the king.
I already saved in my mind the places where the enemies ruled there. But this… This was no more.
*Fwoosh!*
"Hey b*tches, I left for little time to come back and see that monkeys are jumping all over my backyard trees… Tsk! I'm disappointed in all of you."
The moment I arrived, I announced my presence with a loud shout. I even used my horn to grab their attention.
"It's…"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom
"Is this the human Hye?"
"Is he that damn bastard?"
"He… He isn't a human!"
"No, I once saw him in the middle of a battle… It's indeed him!"
"Kill him!"
"Stop talking and kill him!"
Just as I said hi, they all came at me dancing and running, seemingly so damn hyped by seeing me.
"Come inside then!" I took out my cube, threw tons of bones on the ground like sky raining down bones. The sudden appearance of this many bones startled many, but a lot of them still tried to hit me.
I saw lots of flashes of lights coming at me. I paused for a moment there, missed the presence of my beloved chariot and its awesome shield.
"B*tches! I know you aren't the ones who did this to my baby, but you have to blame your bad luck in being here. I will vent all of this on you, and will show you how foolish it was to come and take a bite at my kingdom! Get inside!"
I activated the cube, sucked dry all the active forces in tens of thousands of miles radius.
After the merge, the initially small area that I ruled was now enlarged by many folds, tens of folds, or even more than that.
So despite using the cube over such a huge area, I was sure it didn't even cover a lot in my old kingdom territory. In fact, I even doubted that the ones taken inside would come from another territory thrown in the middle of all this messy new world.
"Come out!" I took them in, forced them to sign a loyalty contract by the power of the cube, then took them out again, "strengthen these lands, and go out there and kill any enemy of mine."
I used the horn that I already had in my hand and gave them such instructions before selecting another bookmark and vanished through the portal appearing next.
They had no other option but to follow my orders, or else they'd die by the power of the system.
I kept jumping in between these zones, even taking a shitload of zombies and forcing them to sign a loyalty contract.
I didn't know if this was going to work or not, but eventually it worked. Many of the zombies followed my words, but others didn't. And that ended up for the entire zombies to start killing among themselves, starting a hellish brutal massacre between themselves.
I didn't care about any of that, and just took note of these places before jumping to others.
I planned to finish my current tour, before returning back here and settle these hot zones next.
I kept jumping over, taking everything I met in my path inside my cube and turned all of them into my working slaves. I saw a sort of revenge in all this, and I couldn't even bring myself to feel any sympathy towards any of them.
Chapter 1557 A Peaceful Night
Seeing old faces like dragons, Selvators, and even Berserkers made me want to go down there and smash each and every single head of them into shreds.
But I got to replenish the forces I lost so far using them. What was the best revenge? The one that'd force your enemy to lower his head and work as a henchman for you.
That was what I was doing right now.
I spent close to one day doing this, and finished visiting all the places I had in my staff. All the lands were now under my control, and all the forces that were coming hot at my kingdom and forces shifted side and became working for me.
What remained now was the zombies. And so I returned again towards the places where I left the zombies killing each other.
"Tsk! These mindless folks are really something…" I visited the first spot I saw zombies before and there I found more than half of the zombies got killed, and the other half weren't that far off.
"It's better to let them kill and finish each other then," I dropped the idea of taking out my troops and killing all the zombies here.
Even if the ones that didn't get under my control ended up living, there wouldn't be too many of them. And they'd be heavily wounded and pretty much exhausted. It was better to save my forces for later, and let the zombies handle each other.
Then after we'd settle most of the lands here, I'd let my forces come and clean all the places here.
*Fwoosh!*
"Did you do it? Already?!!" and when I came back, I found Lily standing side by side with lots of people that I knew and didn't.
Lots of old faces, the generals that were left back home to defend the kingdom in my absence, and new ones that I gained from this golden quest here, all were standing side by side, on Lily's chariot, looking at me.

"It's all ready," I nodded, landing over Lily's chariot, "all the lands now belong to us."
"This…"
"What about the enemies?"
"Did you kill all of them? This soon?!!"
Many exclaimed, but those were the ones who were recently joining my kingdom. As for those who were with me for a long time, before the time of the golden quest, they just stood in silence, nodding in understanding.
"All the forces that were hostile to us are now on our side," I simply stated the impossible, and before anyone would say anymore of such useless comments, I added, "I left them back there to take hold of the defences and attack the outer zones. What about you guys? How is the situation in other places?"
"Well…" Lily couldn't help but suddenly laugh, "if you can do it this way, why won't we sit back and retreat, let you take charge of this task instead of us?"
"Yes, that will be for the better," the spearhead said, "I'm tired of all this fighting."
"You jerk… Don't give me this damn excuse or else I'll throw you at the deadliest places right away!" I roared in the face of this jerk, before turning around.
Seeing one jerk reminded me of other jerks. And so I looked around, and couldn't find the other jerk here.
"He didn't come yet," Lily seemed to guess my thoughts, "he decided to move away from any portal and take his chances."
"Tsk! Jerks are always quite annoying, you know that?" I rolled my eyes, while knowing why that jerk decided to do this risky move.
He was still anxious about his man, and wanted to seek him even at the risk of losing his life in the process.
This jerk… He was already a hopeless case.
"Fine, then how about things around? And why is everyone here?"
Last time I saw her, she was all alone. And now she called back almost all the generals from out there.
"We are now making new plans," Lily paused, "can I ask for something?"
"No, Toramos is out of the question," I knew what she wanted. She wanted Hescos to come out and help. But it was out of the question.
I wouldn't risk any treason under any circumstances. Who knew what these Hescos would try to force him to switch sides again? He might have beloved ones, family, or even a lover back home. Using any of these against him would break any man, and I wouldn't risk such a threat.
"Ok…" her face told me she was depressed, but that was how life was. It was filled with many disappointments.
I wanted to just come here and live a nice and peaceful life. And here I was, leading hundreds of millions, even tens of billions of forces, and I was still not feeling any secure at all.
"We are now moving armies around," one of the old generals said, one that I didn't recall his name, but he was one of the Hectors, a capable and decent general indeed, "and right now our top problem is the lack of intel."
"Intel about what exactly?" I asked, while thinking that asking for intel in general in such a situation was a very vague word.
"This world map," Sara said, "we can't determine where our forces are, where we should fight, and which places are more important than others."
"This…"
"We are here to try and come up with a rough plan and sketch of the new world… But…" Lily didn't need to continue her words. I already got what she wanted to say.
"Hey there, do you have anything to help about this?" and all of sudden, and without any warning, I raised my head, and shouted against the sky up there.
It was already night time, and it was a perfect clear sky that showed tons of stars drifting peacefully up there.
It was exactly the same as the old Earth, the one I read and hear about in the ancient records. There were lots of constellations, many sparkling and beautiful looking stars up there.
Chapter 1558 The Map Problem
If it was at other times, then I'd prefer to stay the night lying on my back, watching such a piece of art forever.
But I got shitload of issues that wouldn't let me even think about doing any of that.
[I'm not your lackey! You do know that, right?]
"But you are the one who placed me in all this," I evilly smirked, "give me a reason why you won't help us in such a trivial matter."
[If it's trivial, why ask for my help then?]
"Because it's trivial to you," I laughed, "you can get a map, a full and detailed map by using the help of the system, right?"
[That's correct]
"Then help me out here."
[In exchange for… What exactly?]
"Come on, for old times sake!"
[Go f*ck yourself!]
"Hahahaha! Hearing this makes you more human than anything else, hahaha!"
[This isn't a charity! You have to pay something to get what you need]
"But…"
[You always dealt with us on such a basis, and there's nothing to make us change in such a way. Just state your price, and I'll see if it suits us or not]
"Why won't you tell me the price you got in your mind?" I knew this dude wasn't bluffing or fooling around. If he mentioned a price, then he must have something ready in his mind for that.
[How about letting other races share the new world with you?]
"Not a chance!"
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
[Then the one hundred peace period is cancelled!]
"Screw you! No way! I won't accept even this!"
[Then there is nothing we can agree on to do this deal]
"Hmm… How about this… I know you are interested in our enemies, right?"
[And?]
"How about I give you part of my loot here?"
[I can get anything I want without your help!]
"No, you don't get me," I took something out of my inventory, "there are things that you can't even dream to have."
[Hmm… Interesting offer… But only one bomb won't do]
I took out one of the bombs I already deactivated. These didn't exist in our universe, an alien presence, and it was something that no one else but me could provide.
If I tried to use the card of races fighting under the enemy, then this dude would bargain and might not agree.
As he said it, he could get anything he wanted from here. So I got to find something that even he couldn't get, something like this bomb.
"I can add any number of forces gained from the enemies," I shrugged. If not for the importance and crucial role of this map at this stage, I wouldn't even waste my breath over this dude.
A map? A single piece of paper? It wouldn't work a penny at another time. And if I got enough time here, I'd have let my forces go all over the place and draw this map in a matter of a few weeks or even months.
But just like what Lily said, without the map at this moment, we were totally blind.
We wouldn't tell where our forces were from each other, which places were more important than others, which zones were strategically more important than others, which places needed more troops than others.
Without this map, fighting this war would be a hellish nightmare and a big gamble. Even if I got lots of forces and weapons, lots of preparations on my side, the enemy made sure to negate all this by all this.
And getting this map would be the missing piece, the single brilliant move that would turn over all this, turn around the entire situation, and let me and others on my side fight an advantageous battle.
| сom With this map, we'd regain our advantage again. And that is what made this piece of paper worth more than its weight in gold.
And that was something that dude out there knew about.
[Agreed] that dude finally accepted, [on one condition]
"I won't let go of any race, no matter what, not even the Hescos!" I roared, as I already guessed what he wanted to say.
[Then add more gears and it'll do] I felt like I fell into his trap. But I couldn't help it. After all, I was the one who needed his help here, desperately needed it.
"Deal!"
[I'm sending a contract over]
"You never did that at any of our previous agreements?!!"
[That's because these agreements were secured by the system announcements. Didn't you read any of the notifications I sent before?]
I rolled my eyes, feeling like this dude didn't trust me at all. "It hurts!"
[What hurts?]
"You, not trusting me, it hurts!"
[You are a very dangerous man, you know that? How can I trust you?]
I laughed at his words. "Send the contract over then," I asked for it, and it appeared just the next instant. "Wow! Impressive! You have a very fast hand! Hahahaha!"
[Just sign the damn thing!]
"Let me read it first," I knew that dude already prepared the contract beforehand, "I don't trust you."
[Fair enough!]
I read the content of this contract under the shocked gazes of everyone. They saw me shout like crazy in the air, and the next moment a contract appeared.
That meant one thing, I wasn't talking to myself or going crazy. I was talking to someone, someone they couldn't see, someone who could send a contract out of thin air even if he wasn't here.
I knew they wouldn't guess the true identity of this dude. And they wouldn't even believe me even if I told them his identity.
The best thing they could think about right now was that I was talking to someone from a higher race, from Toranks, someone like Silverlining for example.
I didn't care about their gazes and started to read the content quite carefully. That dude was honest and didn't do any cheap tricks here or there.
"It's signed," I left my signature after reading the contract twice, "where is my goddamn map?"
Chapter 1559 One For A Million
[Right away!]
The next moment, a huge scroll appeared, one that was enough to exceed ten metres in length. It was folded, sealed with a red tape, and looked as if it was a gigantic version of old times secret messages.
"Wow! You did bring me something huge this time!" I grabbed it, and felt how heavy it was, "what did you make it from? Lead?"
[Stop fooling around and start studying it! It's very huge!]
He wasn't lying. I took this scroll down at the ground and unsealed it. The entire scroll opened to cover more than one hundred metres! And there I found a gigantic map with tiny drawings, a shitload of places that got no names.
It was filled with tiny lines and dots, small looking mountain series, oceans, lakes, and even oceans and continents. It got everything, and from a single look, I knew how massive this new world was.
"Damn! Over five hundred continents?!!!"
"Is this… For real?!!!"
"These aren't continents! Can't be! They must be big islands, yes, they are big islands!"
"Shut up!" I shouted at everyone, "this is the map of our new world, and these are all continents not islands! What do you get in your mind? Jelly or something?"
I rolled my eyes, not accepting their cheap sense of humour at such a critical time.
Just from looking over this map, I realised how bad my current situation was. I always took the new world to be formed of a single and colossal continent. Don't ask me why, but that was what I felt all this time.
But seeing all these continents, over five hundred of them, made me realise taking over this world was going to be a hellishly long adventure.
30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom
I always felt I was ready to face anything, but this… This… This made all my forces and preparations pale in front of it.
"We need more forces," Isac stepped up, looked at this map and said exactly what I had in mind right now.
"We need… A miracle!" and that jerk tried to look cool in front of his girl, said something foolish like this.
"Alright then," I rubbed my hands, turned to everyone before adding, "copy this map, make as many copies as you can, and start devising plans."
"But…"
"Leave the issue of forces over to me," I rolled my eyes towards Sara, "since when did you ever get worried about the lack of forces? Huh?"
| сom I wasn't bluffing. Since they all met me, and I got nothing more than forces to give them, "leave the forces to me, and you have to handle the general plan to conquer this world."
"How long do we have?" Lily acted practical, the same old Lily I always admired and liked.
"I'll give you… Four days… No, one week," if this was going to take such a long time to conquer, then there was no point in trying to overdo or rush things here.
It was better to first stabilise the situation, secure more forces, train them, and also negate the impending threat of these bombs.
When this merger started, my biggest worries were these bombs. But after seeing how immensely huge this world was, I knew even if I let the enemy do it, detonate all the bombs together, they wouldn't be able to crush more than half of this world.
But that didn't mean I'd let them do it. I first would keep them busy, then look for the bombs second.
As for the forces, it was already a piece of cake.
[Dude, you don't need me to tell you about what I want, right?] I didn't go towards the portals after leaving the general meeting. I went towards one side, away from the entire mess in the central zone.
I left the generals to do what they had to do. Coming up with a plan wasn't an easy thing. First we lacked lots of intel about the overall situation over these continents.
We might have gained a map, but we still didn't know where our forces and the enemies' were. And that would take lots of time and effort to decide.
I left them to handle such a headache, entrusting this task over to them, and focused on solving the problem of warriors lacking.
[I know, I know, what can you do without me? Huh? Admit it! I'm the most capable friend and ally to you, hahahaha!]
[Sure, but as this is the last battle, I want as much as you can get, ok?]
I let Silverling enjoy his moment without saying anything to interrupt him. He indeed was one if not the most and only capable ally I got so far.
The other two allies I got were killed. These jerks! Why the heck did they go to such an extent and kill them? They could have locked up Fang and Wryly. Only if these two threatened a rebellion, then this decision was quite weird.
I planned to exert revenge over those who killed my two old friends and allies, and planned to devastate all the races who betrayed me.
The reason behind all this was quite obvious, this was all the Hescos' doing. I thought after we worked together here in this world, they'd change their hostility slightly, change it to be neutral at least.
But in front of the gains and benefits of getting the trapped races here in addition to the new world, they decided to be my enemies.
Screw them! I'd not flinch from facing them head on! What did I have to lose? Nothing!
[It's going to be the same, right?]
[Sure] I knew he was asking about the way to pay back for all his goods.
[Then… Can I propose a change this time?]
[You want the new breed of bones I got?] I knew he and others were watching, and they noticed my dark realm bones, the deadly fire they released, and the immense amount of power inside them that was on a whole new level than the normal bones.
[Sure, we can discuss anything about these]
[Then… One of these bones for a million]
