Chapter 1575 You Aren't The Only One Whose Friend Is A Jumper
All in all, they were cornered, and didn't have that much of a choice actually. It was just a frustrating feeling, to have such numbers and might, but without being able to do anything with any of this.
To add more to their feeling or powerlessness, I added more shields scattered in the wide intershields area. These were going to be anchor points for my scattered forces, saving them lots of time and effort in retreating and shielding themselves against any incoming enemy attack.
After ten more hours, I felt like things were going smoother than I even expected. The enemy tried all this time, but they always failed to even make a stand on the ground or even reach the race bubble.
"I hope this continues after leaving here," I knew this was an important thing to worry about, but there was still another matter that had to happen first. I hoped the enemies wouldn't make any trick or anything when I'd release the races from inside the bubble.
I walked towards the bubble, and another question rang in my mind. How would I release the races entrapped inside?
Should I use my force? Punch through this shield and crack it down? Or what? Should I use my blood? After all, all the artefacts in this universe had to be activated using blood.
I thought about many things, but ended up using a simple one. I took out my horn, thought about the twenty races I saw before, and decided to give these inside the bubble a loud shout.
"It's me, Hye, the human saviour who came before and worked to save you from the hell you were facing and living in. I'm now standing outside your new prison, and want your permission to follow me so I can get you out, get you all into safety."
I waited for ten minutes, waiting for anything to happen. But after ten minutes, nothing happened.
"I'm here to save you! Just accept following me and you'll be saved!" I didn't know what I said was hard to understand. But after doing this for a few more times without getting any response, I thought my horn wasn't working thanks to this bubble.

I then tried different things next. I placed my hand and tried to feel those inside, placed my hand over the bubble and covered it with my blood. I even tried to break through it, and all was in vain.
"What the hell is wrong with this damn bubble!" After four hours of constantly trying and failing, I shouted in frustration and rage. I was now sure I was using the wrong method, and my thoughts drifted towards the system higher up.
[Don't bother. Your voice already reached their ears the first time you shouted at them] and before I'd direct my rage towards the system higher up, that dude was half a beat faster and delivered the shocking news.
I never expected this, never thought about that possibility at all. "Are you telling me that they are refusing to follow me?!" I gritted my teeth, saying every single word like I was struggling to do it.
[That's indeed the case here. Or else they'd have joined you, got out of that bubble long time ago]
"Who are they?" I roared faintly like a wounded beast, "who the f*ck are those damn bastards?"
[The jumpers!]
The answer I got was something that made sense when I thought about it. And yet I was still feeling quite enraged.
"Those son of b*tches… Do they plan to join the enemy? Fight against me?!!" I clenched both fists, while preparing to go and punch that damn bubble to shreds before taking out my anger over them.
They dared to betray me? They dared to refuse accepting my help, refused to follow me? Damn those son of b*tches! F*ck all the jumpers! F*ck them all!
[No, they won't!]
"What does that even mean?" I felt a little surprised by this.
[The bubbles surrounding them are impregnable. No matter what you or others used, nothing can breach that shield]
"And?!" I raised one eyebrow, and he added, explaining a shocking scenario that neither I nor my enemies even expected.
[The jumpers won't join any side. And that means they won't leave their bubble, and will remain hidden inside until the end of all this]
"Damn those cowards! They don't want to fight, want to hide, and in the end they'll return to reap all the rewards, following whoever is going to win…"
[They might not even join anyone by then] the higher up suddenly gave me another shocking piece of news, [They plan to remain hidden in each bubble, live in peace forever, and not even worry about anything]
"This… Can they really do that?!!" I tried to think about such a possibility, but it didn't make any sense to me. "Don't they want to go out? Won't they need to reproduce? Increase their people's numbers and such? What the heck is wrong with these people?!!!"
[They are the jumpers] even the higher up sighed, [They are blessed with the ability to rewind back time for a hundred years]
"Your point is…"
[They will endure this time, for the time to get rewinded. Then they'll try to get away from meeting you in their next life]
"No way! Hell no!!!"
[That's what they plan to do, I know them, and I can tell you they are going to do that]
"How the hell do you know them?!!" Saying such claims about a race that was entrapped away from the universe for endless years was something bold and unbelievable. Yet something told me he wasn't bluffing.
[You aren't the only one who got a friend and a follower from these damn jerks!]
"Ouch!" I could feel his pain in what he said, and I couldn't help but think about my masked jumper, "don't tell me there are more of them in the universe, more of these jerks."
Chapter 1576 My Revenge
[Not like the original ones, but there are more clones out there in the universe]
"Then… Let me ask you something…" I wanted to take this chance to ask about a certain question that kept bothering me.
[Yes, they are all annoying bastards, who only care about their lunatic dreams and goals, not listening to any logic, acting on impulse, and are quite irritating down to the bones to deal with any of them!]
"Well…" I paused, getting startled slightly by his answer, "I was going to ask about something else. But I can feel you brother, you aren't alone…"
[Brother? Hahaha! Ok, ok brother, tell me what did you want to ask about?]
"Their bad luck… Is it just my jumper or…"
[Oh, that's a common knowledge, they are cursed race, blessed with bad luck]
"Since when was bad luck a blessing?!!"
[That's their point of view, not mine]
"Then leave them confined inside this ball," I paused, "after all this is over, and I gain the overall ownership of the world…"
[That's in case you won!] He tried to interrupt me, but I didn't care about his fair looking attitude.
"When I've won this quest, can I choose to not release those motherf*ckers?"
30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom
[Sure, but you have to know that they depend on rewinding back time]
"Oh, about that… I already managed to force my own jumper to not do something like this, hehehehe!"
[Oh, how so?]
"Not telling!" I laughed, while imagining my earlier prank against the jumper and on the spot idea about how to bind him to me worked magically all this time, and was about to serve me all this time.
[Hmm… The only way to do it is by forcing them to sign a contract, preventing them from even thinking about using their ability to jump or else they'd die. But… oh wait… You don't plan to use that?!]
"Yes," I evilly smirked, "there is nothing against me using this, right?"
[Damn evil human! But I like that! Can you lend me this cube of yours?]
"No thanks, I'm going to be busy using it," I laughed, turning towards the bubble I worked all this time to secure my access towards, and yet failed, "on another thought, I can make a trade and lend it to you once I'm done."
[For real? Wait… What do you want in exchange for that? Why do I smell trouble?]
"Come on! Who even mentioned trouble right now? All I want is something simple. You'll have the cube for one year, can you believe this? For a whole year, and that's just for something trivial."
[I don't believe you]
"Just hear me out," I paused, before pointing towards the direction of that bubble, "I wasted tons of time and effort here, to end up with nothing. That's not fair!"
[I don't see anything relevant to me in all this!]
"Yes there it is," I nodded, putting a calm and honest expression over my face, "just give me directions of these bubbles of the jumpers. I won't go and waste my time and effort saving them, to end up getting rejected."
[I can't! This is your challenge, your test, not mine. And doing so is cheating!]
"But you'll get a one year allowance to use my cube, how about that?"
[Well… This is bullshit! But I can't let a prodigy like yourself waste his time and effort on a useless race. Fine! I'll send you a contract about this right away]
"Hahahaha! That's how I like it! Send the contract over."
This higher up might seem hard to deal with, but his mind was simply like anyone in the universe. Just giving him a benefit that he couldn't refuse would put him in my pocket.
He said it was cheating, and I knew it was. But who said to have something that he desperately wanted from me, and I couldn't extort this for little benefit for myself?
I could just go around and repeat what I did here. But I wasted lots of time and effort, and ended up getting nothing in the end. That was a little frustrating actually.
I didn't care that much about time or warriors that I could replace easily later on. However, what troubled me was that the time I wasted here would give the enemy more chances to think about how to stop me.
They knew I was coming to attack the bubbles and release the races inside. And that was why they secured and surrounded the bubble here with tons of force.
But they didn't know how I planned to do it. And now they knew. If I gave them time, and didn't keep pushing hard over them, then they'd end up thinking about a way to stop me.
This was inevitable, as the fiends and their friends proved to be a worthy opponent. I'd prefer to free more races when that'd happen, rather than ending up wasting all this for some f*cking jumpers who would never join me.
Those jumpers… Every Time I thought about them I felt my body tremble out of rage. Since the first time I met that jerk, I knew how annoying this race was.
And when I met the entire race, saw how peaceful those motherf*ckers lived while we were getting tortured and suffering under the hands of the system, apocalypse, and the outside enemies, my desire to burn them alive became unprecedented.
However I had another brilliant thought. They believed they got me and others by taking such an approach, refusing to leave their safe shells, waiting for one side to win and then follow him no matter what origin he was.
Hell, they might even plan to not come out at all, wait until they'd rewind back time and return to the time before my arrival. Then they'd make sure that I'd never be able to find them in the first place.
The best revenge, the best thing I could do to make them suffer most was to deprive them all of their jumping ability. And that was when my cube would come in the picture.
Chapter 1577 A Deal
The cube could suck any race inside, force them to sign a loyalty contract with me. I'd just have to edit a few things about the content of the contract there, and then they'd not be able to even think about jumping back and leaving me behind.
Even if they got their ability ready to use later on, they wouldn't dare to even think about activating it. Once they got killed, it was the end of their lives, and their abilities wouldn't even help.
They weren't immortals, weren't reincarnation or transmigrators, they were simply jumpers. And that was their best and worst thing about their ability.
"It's done," I signed the contract after reading its content, making sure that dude didn't do anything funny at all, "now tell me where are those bastards' locations."
[I'm sending a map over] he paused, [I added little extra touches there. Don't mention it!]
"Thanks anyway," I truly didn't get what he meant by this, but I felt he did something useful. I thanked him, even before I'd got the map.
And when the map appeared in front of my eyes, I knew what he meant by extra touches.
Damn! This man… He marked out not only the places of the jumpers, but the other places of all the races bubbles.
It wasn't only that! He also mapped out the continents of the enemy and races inside on his map. I just took out the bigger map of the entire world, and didn't find it hard to locate the fifty continents the enemy controlled.
30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom
"Fifty… They sure had control over the entire merging process," I already suspected that, had my guessed about the enemy's ability to control and direct the merge.
And seeing how many continents they controlled, how they clustered them together, so they'd form a massive and gigantic base for them, I knew for sure they got total control over the entire process from the start to end.
[Change of plans… Be aware of these continents…] And the moment I got this new map, identified the enemy new bases, I instantly opened a chat with Lily and sent these news over.
She was leading the entire process of sending out forces to all the continents in the world. Trying to send our boys over the continents controlled by the enemy was futile and useless.
So I decided to not risk it, warn them about not sending any troops there. We already marked the continents by numbers, and so it was easy to tell her about the continents she would avoid from now on.
[Wow! Fifty continents! The enemy has secured a strong foothold from the early beginning]
[Don't worry, I'm going to crash their party and kill them all] I didn't see anything challenging about that. I knew there were lots of enemies waiting, lots of strong foes, lots of trouble and obstacles, but that didn't matter.
I was confident about my victory. All I needed was just enough time, and my forces on the other side did their job and kept the enemies busy.
I got fiends, enemies from other universes, Hescos, Selvators, Berserkers, Dragons, and many other races from other universes.
It felt weird… It was like I was alone, standing tall and high, standing against the entire universe, and other universes around.
I was alone against the world, and weirdly enough, I didn't feel anything like losing.
[Go get them, human] I didn't know if she was joking or speaking seriously here. But I closed the chat with her, turned to look at the map that I got, and decided to start my mighty charge against the enemy.
Previously I had to jump towards the places I sat fire at, randomly check for the places of the entrapped races.
But that was an old story. Right now, and with this map in hand, things were going to be a lot different.
The map contained the locations of all the races entrapped here, all the bubbles that had races in each continent of the fifty. The jumpers were taking five entire continents, including the one I was standing currently at.
As for the other nineteen races, they were scattered among the other forty-five continents. The map didn't say which bubble contained which race. But I was sure any other race would agree to join me.
Knowing where the fifty most dangerous continents were was going to change the entire course of this war. It felt like the machination of fate was working, spinning to my side, shifting the tide of this war towards my victory.
If I was in the enemy's place, then I'd feel frustrated indeed. They invested a lot in this, preparing the setting for my crushing defeat.
And yet fate got another say in this. And I was glad and felt gratitude towards such a decision from a mysterious force.
Or was it karma? Perhaps all the evil deeds of those enemies found a chance to pay them back for everything they did? Perhaps it was their bad luck, not my good luck, that made fate decide to exert revenge and justice over them, not to stand by my side and let me win?
Either way, it was my chance to secure the win in this war. And by taking down the fiends and their allies, the rest of the races here were just weeds and useless trash.
Putting everything I was feeling right now aside, thinking logically about invading the enemy bases, I felt like this was going to be a hellish war.
These weren't just ten worlds like before, but fifty great continents! The merge made sure that lots of worlds were together, and that meant these continents got bits and pieces of many worlds.
It was expected to see other races entrapped there, fighting the enemy brutally. It was also expected to see my forces there as well.
For my people, I'd work to save them. For the other races, I might take them all inside my cube if I got the chance to.
Chapter 1578 Studying The New Map
Luckily for them, the cube didn't work on the enemy continents, and that left me with my techniques, the old way to add more races to my side.
But why would I work my as* to save them? Screw them! Let them all die and suffer from the same poison they tried hard to make me suffer from.
I looked around, the place here didn't have any meaning for me. This continent was like the other four, filled with enemies and jumpers who wouldn't join me.
So wasting my people and effort here wasn't a good thing. But also seeing the enemy struggle made me decide to keep the normal warriors and my shield ring here.
My shield ring didn't need any help from me anymore to do anything. And after all this was over, I'd simply have the chance to release a scary offensive wave from the shield ring, killing more of the enemies.
But trying to open a portal here towards any other place wasn't a good thing. In fact, I had to build these portals at a very secure place. And I have only found one such place for now.
The enemy got fifty grand continents, and I just got a tiny ground zero area, a very little space, and the capital of my kingdom.
Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com
Aside from these two places, there wasn't anywhere else that I could call safe. How ironic that was! The enemy started with such a crushing advance, and I got such a weak and pathetic setting and cards.
And yet I was the one who was going to win in the end, and they were going to lose. It was really ironic, and quite scary.
Having advantage didn't mean one would secure everything, didn't mean one could win any war or conflict. And that meant one had to be extra vigilant about everything, not feel any confidence or drop his guard, or else one wouldn't know when he fell, or when or how the deadly strike came.
I shoved all these deep thoughts aside for now. I took back most of my Kings, leaving behind just a couple of millions here to keep the enemy busy.
They didn't need to stop them, just killing many was enough for me. And as long as they were inside the shield zone, they were going to be safe.
I returned back to ground zero, didn't even care about speaking with anyone, and started looking for a place to establish my portals there.
There were already portals linked to these continents, where my fire was spreading and killing lots of their forces. But I just used ten portals to go to ten different places, and the enemy got fifty continents under their control.
That meant I lacked around forty continents, considering that each portal opened on a new continent.
I kept flying over endless armies of my forces, passing by the area of the new portals where many portals were flashing, sending armies towards the different battlefields.
This was just the start of my retaliation. All these warriors and armies were going to start building bases on many continents, expanding the reach of my kingdom slowly. And starting from there, the real war would start for my forces.
As for me, I already started my own war. I found an empty and slightly secluded zone, a deep valley in the middle of a gigantic mountain series.
It was wide enough to be called a basin, or perhaps a flat land sea in the middle of all these rocks. It was at least five hundred miles in length and twenty to thirty in width. It was perfect for building my portals, away from my forces, and pretty safe for now.
I took the map out, the grand one, and started to copy marks from the smaller map over it. The new map sent by the higher up wasn't that detailed like the old one. So I decided to use the old map in building the portals, to make sure nothing wrong would happen.
Each race got lots of bubbles actually, around a few hundred up to a thousand bubbles for each race by my rough estimate. I selected a continent, randomly selected one bubble, and decided to go there.
I knew the portals would get linked with a certain location, so it was hard to satisfy all the needs of these bubbles using portals for each one. In the light of that, I started to study the map thoroughly, seeing where the most bubbles were, and decided to release one portal for each cluster of bubbles.
This meant I got to travel personally to cover up the places which I couldn't get using portals. It looked as if the bubbles were close by on the map, but I knew this wasn't true.
At least the distance between each bubble and the closest one was hundreds of miles, even thousands.
That meant I'd have to travel and fight the enemy in their homelands. That might seem risky, especially in the case the enemy noticed my intentions and moved to stop me.
However with my bubbles, bones, and endless stream of warriors, who could stop me? It would have been better with my chariot around, but I got to work using what I had and not think about things I didn't get anymore.
I started first by placing dots on the grand map, then began to draw circles around the nearby clusters of bubbles. At the end of it, the old map looked like it was stained with lots of ink.
"There are hundreds of different clusters out there… Each got hundreds of bubbles…" I stood by the side of my grand map, looking in deep thoughts towards it, seriously thinking about what to do next.
Instead of using tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of portals, I lowered this number to be less than a thousand. It was much better indeed, but it also meant I had to travel for a lot of time.
Chapter 1579 They Also Got The Maps
Everything didn't depend on me right now, but on Lily and her forces. I'd not care that much about facing tons of enemies for years, but if the backyard got burnt down, and my forces failed to secure many places or even the worst, got my two safe bases attacked, then I had to stop all this and return back to save them.
I didn't want to see this happening, and hoped they would prove themselves more worthy and capable. If anything would happen to cause me and my forces trouble, then the source of it wouldn't be the fiends alone, but the Hescos as well.
This race… It wasn't the first and top race in the universe for nothing. And it seemed as the fiends got their time to prepare for this grand war, the Hescos also did the same.
I hoped things wouldn't end up pretty much bad out there. And the new races saved would help to make a difference.
"If my luck was great and I ended up meeting the god race early on, then there is no need to worry about my backyard," this race was the most important piece in my grand victory.
If I met them up early on, then they could bless lots of my forces and give them lots of bonuses and gear. At the same time, they'd also grow in strength, and be a formidable force on my side.
If I ended up meeting them quite late, then things would be challenging. Anyway, that was in the hands of fate. I tried to speak back to that dude of the higher up, offered to make a deal for him to tell me where the god race was, but he never responded at all.
I even promised to give him my cube for more years, and yet he kept his silence.
Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com
"Those damn folks… They must have moved fast to stop him from helping me…" there was no more explanation for this but the intervention of the Hescos.
Even with the Toranks by my side, the Hescos would still have the ability to silence that dude and stop him from helping me anymore.
In fact, he already helped me a lot, giving me lots of support for the old and new maps. The old map might not be that much of help in their eyes.
They didn't move before to stop him after he did that. And that told me many races, at the least the Hescos, got such maps like me.
But the new one was something that they didn't get. Or perhaps they also got, but thanks to my newly invented portals, it'd turn into a deadly weapon in my hands.
The previous deal was like giving snakes wings to soar in the air and become dragons! So they had to act, prevent this dude from striking more deals with me, making my odds in winning this war a bit higher.
And that meant the Hescos already got plans of their own, ones that made them feel no risk before when I got the general map.
But they got threatened with the new map and my newly invented portals. And that meant one of these or both of them was quite risky and threatening to their plans and preparations.
Was it my portals? Or was it the new map? But the new map only led towards the bubbles holding races. Don't tell me there was a race out there who could put their plans into ruins?
Or perhaps there was something different at the enemy continents, some sort of a weapon there, one that could ruin their preparations and make them lose the war?
I couldn't tell, and I didn't care. No matter what it was, I was going to have it, find these Hescos, and crush them to death.
[Keep an eye over the Hescos, inform me all the time about their movements and plans] I didn't want to leave anything out for luck regarding such annoyingly strong and capable race, [And make sure to not underestimate them]
[I would never take the first and strongest race in the universe lightly]
[Good girl!] Lily was indeed the most capable general and friend I got. Comparing her with the likes of jerks, the likes of the jumper and spearhead, made her shine!
I closed the chat with her and turned towards the empty piece of land, the valley in between mountains, in front of me. It was time to start invading the enemy continents.
As I got everything prepared, I selected the centre of one cluster that I drew before. I took a ball out, and started to activate it using the same method as before.
I used red grade dark realm bones to make sure the activation time wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. And when the portal got activated, I didn't hesitate to pass through it.
I was already prepared, holding my board in one hand, holding my pillar in the other. And my inventory page was already opened, ready for me to call out any amount of warriors and Kings I might need.
But the moment I appeared there, I spotted something quite interesting.
"The Hescos… Tsk! They are indeed the strongest race in the universe for a reason!" in front of my eyes wasn't the endless stretch of enemy forces like I expected. Instead, there were lots of forces fighting against others, and a grand war extended in front of me.
The battles spanned everywhere, extending towards the horizon line in every direction. I couldn't miss the sight of those suited Hescos fighting the fiends and their forces in the air and on the ground, in such a brutal battle.
I didn't need to ask, didn't need even to think to know what was going on here. This was their plan then. They got the maps, just like me. And it seemed they got them a long time ago.
Don't tell me they also paid a price to make their forces arrive near the entrapped locations of the races here.
Chapter 1580 Hulk!
If that was true, then there were two formidable forces fighting each other to get their hands over the twenty races.
Thinking about this made me question something. The higher up told me that each race was surrounded inside a bubble, waiting for someone they trust to save them. But seeing how the Hescos here were desperately and seriously fighting the fiends made me doubt all this.
If the races would only swear allegiance towards one, then it was supposed to be myself. Yet the Hescos came prepared, ready to sacrifice their forces here instead of fighting me.
Thinking they didn't know about the condition the higher up told me before was bullshit. They knew, or to be more precise, they got a way to let these races follow them.
And that meant the higher up didn't tell me everything. Damn! Was the identity of the strongest race enough to pave any path with roses for them? While mine was planted with thorns?
I clenched my fists, looking around while the fight going on made it quite difficult for anyone to notice my sudden presence.
However, that didn't last for more than a few seconds.
"Human Hye… Welcome to the new world, our world…"
Just as I was trying to control my rage, a loud voice came from one direction. And when I turned towards it, I spotted a grand gathering of red suited dudes, surrounded with an entire army of black suited ones.
They were paragons, and they got an army of generals. I looked at such a grand formation, and knew they were the leaders of the fighting armies here.
Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com
For a reason I felt like they were informed about my coming, and even seemed as if they knew where I was going to appear.
"You got someone to see the future, right?" I recalled one of the old tales about the Hescos and how they got someone with foresight ability on their side a long time ago. And it seemed they had remnants of such scary dudes.
"Quite smart, just like the rumours I kept hearing about you," one red dude stepped forward. And when he did, I started to notice the colour of his suit wasn't pure red, but had a lot of purple in it.
He was different, different from all the paragons I met so far from this race. His purple coloured suit made me realise he was one step higher than a paragon.
What? Was he a sovereign? Or a sovereign candidate? Or what? I didn't know what lies above paragons except for the highest most rank, sovereigns.
And it was obvious this dude here was a step higher than the highest and strongest dude in any apocalypse. And that meant he came from outside our apocalypse, not part of it.
Who was it? Was he the general leader of the entire Hescos forces here?
"I'm Hulk, the leader of the Hescos in this world, and the next king ruling this new world after crushing everyone and everything here," he was so damn arrogant to declare his rank and intentions.
"You got to crush me first," I shrugged, "I never got a purple suited Hescos before. Why not leave all this nonsense behind and join me?"
"Hahahaha! quite funny dude you are! I never thought humans were this funny."
"So it's a yes?"
"It's a no, idiot!" that dude named Hulk seemed to have quite the temper, "don't you see what's lying around you? Just take a look, a proper look. You are all alone, in the middle of waves of my Hescos and our enemies. It's better if you start to grasp the current situation, and learn your real place in this new world…"
"I'm tired of this…" I snapped my fingers and took tons of my forces out. This jerk… He was quite talkative and noisy. Not to mention he was arrogant!
"Kill him!"
"Attack!"
We both spoke at the same time. I released my deadly Kings right towards the incoming army of generals and elite Hescos on that jerk's side.
And at the same time, he gave the order for his forces to move and attack me. I didn't waste anymore time, activated my pillar, and released my shields one after another.
"Pathetic! Do you think these tricks can take me and others down?" and just as the shield appeared, something came out from his body, like a bubble, surrounding himself and his forces inside, aiming to stop my incoming shield.
But unlike what he expected, and in the middle of his words, the brilliant shields of mine expanded fast, passed through his useless bubble, and enveloped him and his forces inside.
"Trying to misjudge my shields? Come on! Who is this idiot you sent here? Is he supposed to be the next king? King of fools or what?"
I shouted at the sky, at the watching gazes of those Hescos higher ups out there. They were mistaken to send a jerk and an arrogant bastard to face me.
If he was calm, acting collected and knew what to say and do, then I should have worried. But such an arrogant and self centred dude wasn't that hard to kill.
He dreamt about crushing me, ruling this world as a king? Humph! I couldn't believe how long Hescos missed the right pass and let such jerks and useless bastards rise up and lead their people.
Put that Hulk in front of Toramos and I'd select Toramos over a million Hulks! It wasn't the lack of talents that race suffered from, but a lack of right eyes to judge talents, lacking the right stage to let the rightful talents as Toramos shine and get their deserved rules.
If I fought someone like Toramos over this world, then I got to worry. But this jerk? No way! He just had his mouth and deep pockets, lots of treasure, and nothing else.
He had no brain, no charisma, no tactics, and no respect from his people neither from his enemies, nor from me.
Chapter 1581 Killing All!
"I will kill you! I will kill you and rule this world!" he roared and started to take out flashing things, artefacts, and started to hammer down my shields.
If one shield wouldn't hold, then ten more would. And if ten weren't enough, then a thousand more.
At the same time, the entire forces fighting around got finally to notice my existence.
"Stay here," I let my Kings handle the surrounding tense situation. The moment both sides saw me, they stopped fighting each other, and moved without any tacit agreement to attack me.
It was ironic! How come the two deadly enemies stopped fighting and started to fight me instead. For a moment there, I felt like I was the one invading this world, someone like the fiends, and these two forces were the saviours and heroes of the universe, coming here to crush me and liberate this world.
Seeing the enemies who were just minutes ago racing to slaughter each others' throats, unifying their efforts, stopping their fights, and coming at me in one colossal wave made me realise one thing.
I was alone! Even if I was the superstar in this universe, the hero everyone dreamt of, I was still alone.
No one was ready to give up even a penny of their interest just for the greater good. Everyone was greedy and evil, no difference between fiends and allies, they were all the same.
Be it people from this universe or other universes, all wanted to gain more profit than others, even by crushing the sole hero who made all this possible, even if they had to unite with the evil they were claiming with the top of their lungs they were crushing and fighting it.

I was alone… And for a reason I didn't know, I felt quite relieved to realise this fact.
"If I'm all alone, then that will make my hands free…" I didn't feel it before, but I had a little moral issue about killing people from my universe in this war.
It seemed wrong. Instead of fighting in between each other, we should work together to get things done.
But I was naive. The ones I kept worrying about, were already prepared to join the enemy's side to get me down.
If they decided to be my enemies, if everyone here decided to betray me, then there would be no more reasons for me to hesitate anymore.
*Snap!*
I snapped my fingers, and for the first time ever, the long awaited weapon that I didn't use before appeared at this moment.
The weapons I got from the research department for all this time and never got the chance to use them appeared.
The world was now separated into two hellish halves. One was entrapped inside my shields, and the other was outside, trying to crush my shields and get inside.
At the same moment I got my weapons out, the warriors who got trained over them as well, I also did another snap. And with it, the entire world shone in bright and blinding light.
"You are all going to die!" this wasn't an arrogant statement, not like that f*cking jerk from the Hescos. I meant every single word I said, and I was able to see them through.
The shields got tons of hits during this short period of time, stored tons of damage, and I just released all that outwards.
The world turned all shining and blinding to the eyes, but I didn't stop my weapons and Kings. The weapons and warriors controlling these had one sole purpose here, one simple target to hit; that damn arrogant Hulk and his folks inside his bubble.
That bubble looked quite sturdy and strong, not that easy to crack. So I decided to take my rocket launchers, my missiles out, even tanks, and asked everyone to attack in a single direction before the world turned all bright.
All I could hear was consecutive explosive sounds coming from a single direction. The attacks landed and hit that bubble. And from the light coming from outside, I couldn't tell if the bubble got destroyed or not.
As for my Kings, I just released them loose, hitting and killing the enemies inside the shields.
I didn't stop there, and kept using my pillar for the next ten minutes. The attack didn't last more than that, as the stored damage wasn't enough from the start.
And the moment it got cleared, I could see the magnitude of destruction it brought.
The enemies were all strong folks. Be it the fiends, their allies, or the Hescos and their scary suited forces, both were formidable and quite scary.
But it seemed they were rash and not prepared to meet my sudden attack. And that made the devastation that happened much better than my best hopes.
I knew whom I was going against, how strong and resourceful they were, how scarily strong they were. And so I expected to kill almost half, as the best result actually, plus more wounded.
But I never expected to see all of them dead, all of the forces at the far sight, all the enemies who were filling the entire sky and land, didn't expect all of them to fall and die, simply like this.
"Bone!" and the next thing that popped in my mind wasn't to kill the forces inside, but to go out there and claim such a rich harvest of bones.
Such a grand gathering of elite forces, of different origins, was a feast for me. I didn't hesitate to flap my wings, go outside and start collecting bones.
Flashes of different lights kept coming towards my left hand. And with the right, I kept expanding my shields while the world was filled with the agonising screams of Hulk.
"I'm going to kill you! Going to burn you alive! Skinning you alive isn't enough, will pour burning oil over your skin and barbecue you till you die! Do you hear me? You are going to die!"
Chapter 1582 He Is Delusional!
That jerk was still alive thanks to his bubble. For a reason, all the attacks landing over it didn't work. They just left a few scratches here and there, but it wasn't enough to create cracks.
I wasn't dejected by such a result. I left my Kings to kill the remaining forces inside the shields, while my warriors kept launching my missiles and hit that damn bubble hard.
If it didn't fall after ten minutes, then after ten hours it might. If ten hours isn't enough, then ten days would. In the end, I got this bastard cornered here, and he was going to die.
In fact I didn't like any of those paragons. The ones I met and got real talents never got appreciated by the Hescos higher ups. Just in this situation, a jerk was leading other jerks, and there was no hope for any of them.
I'd never expect much more than tons of artefacts at the hands of these wealthy and spoiled brats. But the generals on their side were a different story.
The Hescos might be rotten deep down to the bones regarding paragons, but not generals. Generals got the goal of doing something great to save their future generations and secure a better life for them.
There was the same competition, but on a much fiercer scale. And this one seemed a bit fairer and more just than the one going on between paragons.
That was indeed for a reason. Such a mighty race wouldn't take any generals or capable dudes in their eyes at all. Not like myself, who would truly appreciate and even support any promising talented general on my side.
And so I decided to give it a go first, after collecting my bones. I decided to go and try to recruit any of these generals, most if not all.

If they were stubborn, wanting to die instead of surrendering themselves to me and joining my side, then there was nothing I could do for them.
But if they wanted to join me, then they'd never regret such a decision ever in their lives.
I kept focusing on gathering my bones as this was the most important task right now. The bones were my most precious loot and gain at any time, at any battle, against any enemy.
And in the middle of doing this, I noticed that more forces started to come from the horizon, coming from all directions towards here.
"They are sending more flies to die in my hands? Great!" I would never say no to more bones, or refuse the chance to get rid of more enemies right now.
It was safe to assume that this situation was repeated all over the other clusters in this world. The Hescos were fighting the fiends, and I got really tempted to let them keep killing each other for me.
But that would mean I'd lose tons of bones. And at the same time, I'd also lose much time in waiting.
It was better if I led everything, killed everyone, claimed the bones and half of their inventories, and did the inevitable in the shortest span of time.
I just left the incoming forces struggling against my shields, and didn't even spare them a glance. They were unable to penetrate through my thick layer of shields, and they were doing me a favour in return.
By all these attacks, they were going to add more damage inside my shields. And after doing what I wanted here, I'd simply release a deadly attack, then travel towards the nearest bubble.
I planned to do this, follow such a pattern, moving from one bubble to another, kill all the enemies I'd face using my shields' offensive attack.
I knew in time, the enemies would learn from their mistakes, release orders for their defensive measures to be used first, and not to rashly attack my shields.
It was better for them to wait for me outside, waiting for me to move from one bubble to another, and try to hunt me down in the middle.
However this would take time, especially for the poor Hescos. They lost their top leader circle from the start of this battle.
That as*a hole called Hulk thought he could come at me and crush me right from the start, head on. He was a fool! Even the fiends, the ones who fought against me the longest, never dared to do such a thing.
They'd never risk the higher up circle to face me in a head on battle. In fact if they ever did, then this war would be over for a long time already.
I took roughly one hour to collect my bones, and then went towards the bubble of that jerk.
The forces coming from outside were now blocking even the sunlight! They were so dense and numerous to turn day into night, and that meant there was a great harvest waiting for me out there.
But first I got to try and speak with the generals out there.
"Hahahaha! You finally realised how futile all this is and decided to come and plea for mercy? Sorry, but your fate is already sealed… You are going to die in my hands, after getting tortured…"
"Shut the hell up!" I roared at that jerk, couldn't take anymore of his bullshit, "I'm not here for you, but for you."
I turned my eyes around, moving them around all the black suited dudes. They were generals, the elites of the Hescos forces here, the ones who got trained all this time for a sole purpose… To be the deadly blade for the Hescos in any war.
"Stop this nonsense! Do you think I'll believe you? Hurry and kneel, bow and let your knees touch the ground with your head, and let me kill you…"
"F*ck you!" I shouted at this arrogant bastard. I couldn't believe who was the idiot who raised and taught this delusional jerk about the world? Even in the face of death, he dared to mock it and even get the wrong idea!
How funny this was! How disappointing this was!
Chapter 1583 Kill Him!
"Listen up," and before that jerk would say any of his nonsense, I turned my attention towards the generals, "you got a single chance now to leave the side of this incompetent fool and join my side. I'm not going to lie, I got lots of generals on my side. But as I'm going to win this war, win this world, I need more on my side. And I know from my past dealing with folks like you how capable and worthy you are."
"This…" Right now that jerk called Hulk finally started to get the harsh and brutal reality from my words.
"Shut the hell up!" I roared again, and this time my words left a heavy impression behind, silencing that jerk for a long time.
"I'm here to give you the chance to join me, and it's a one time offer. I'm going to leave this place now and go to invade the rest of the world. And it's up to you to either remain here and fall with such a loser, or live and follow me to crush this world together. So, what do you say?"
I crossed my arms, waited for their answers. I knew they might take time to discuss, or even be impulsive to refuse. However I never expected to see the result that happened next.
"What does lord want from us now?" one said, and the rest simply nodded, announcing their agreement on what this dude here said.
What the heck was this?! And for a second there, I recalled how Toramos acted back then, how other Hescos paragons and generals did when I offered them to join me.
They didn't even hesitate, didn't take any time at all to think, and just jumped off the ship of the Hescos and joined mine.
Even if the Hescos' ship was majestic and grand, it was filled with depressive auras and a losing atmosphere. Even if my ship was still a wooden raft, it was filled with chances for success, opportunities to shine.

I never expected that my casual offer that popped into my mind would be embraced by everyone here. And soon enough, even the paragons asked about what they should do.
"You… You… All of you…" and just seeing such a heaven defying turn of events made that jerk tremble, "you are all traitors! You are all going to get captured and tortured by my leaders! Who do you think you are betraying? We are the Hescos!"
"F*ck Hescos!" it wasn't me who said such words, but one of the generals, "what's the use in living in a mighty race when we are all treated like a bunch of disposable sh*t! Screw you! Screw Hescos! I already got enough from all this. Screw everything, I'm joining this human better than staying in this damn and cursed place!"
"Yes, me too!"
"I also will do the same!"
"F*ck Hescos!"
"That race is a bullshit place, filled with arrogant bastards and losers like yourself!"
"Who gave you the right to lead us? I'm much better than you, lots of better than a thousand of you!"
"Why didn't they select me? I was able to unify my entire world in the shortest period of time in our history! And yet they sent me here, to serve such a fool and jerk!"
"It's because he is one of the royals! He is the son of someone who matters, and that's enough to make him our boss! F*ck you, boss! I'm leaving and joining this humble man instead. At least he proved his strength and abilities to me."
"Yes! This man sole handedly fought and conquered our people and tons of races alone! He didn't come from any background, even his race is known to be slaves! And yet here he is, fighting and crushing everything and everyone in his path. He deserves to be my leader, not some jerk and spoiled brat who came from a famous family."
"I'm with you!"
"I'm also leaving!"
I heard tons of shouts, a shitload of curses and insults about the Hescos. I never expected these people held such deep resentment against their folks.
What a losing game these Hescos played! They got to the top, and seemed to mess everything out there.
Getting to the top was something admirable, but staying on such a stage was indeed much harder than getting oneself there.
I decided to take all this into my heart, learn from the Hescos grave mistakes so I wouldn't repeat these ones later on.
Yes, I was now envisioning myself sitting on a throne, one par with the strongest races in the universe, even being the strongest!
Why not? I got much more hunger than anyone else for victory. I was craving to win, to succeed and thrive. And I didn't lack anything to achieve any of that.
I just needed time, lots of preparations, and chances like this one here to recruit real talents and nourish them.
"Kill this jerk out for me," I simply announced what I wanted them to do. They said they wanted to join me, and they got to prove their loyalty by killing the most important figure out there in the enemy camp.
If they didn't do it, then they weren't honest even in the slightest at all in what they just said. And all this would be a plan from the Hescos, to plant spies in my circle or something.
"That's it?" and as if I asked something trivial for them to do, one of the paragons asked in doubt.
"And you'll sign a loyalty contract for sure," I added.
"That's it? Nothing else?!!"
"Aside from working diligently, leading armies, killing my enemies, then I don't need anything else," I rolled my eyes, "what did you expect? Giving me wealth? Asking you to do anything else for me? No, this is the way my kingdom works. Work hard, prove yourself and your abilities, and you'll be heavily rewarded and supported."
Chapter 1584 Tell Me Everything
"Stay away from me! You can't touch me! My father will kill all of you! Stop it…"
And just after I said this, all of them started to attack. They all targeted that jerk, and Hulk screamed like a pussy before he fell under the deadly attacks of them.
And like this the chapter of the leader of the Hescos forces here ended, in quite a tragic and most bitter way.
He didn't fall in a glorious battle, didn't fall on the hands of his sworn enemies, but on the hands of his people.
What a bad, terribly bad end this man got. But he deserved it, and I hoped I'd never get such an end one day.
It was better for me to fall into the hands of my enemies, fighting a scary and terrifying war, while trying to defend my kingdom and universe.
This was the most heroic fate I'd dream of, any proper fighter would dream of.
I watched this pathetic Hulk fall on the hands of his people. It wasn't a surprise that after his death, the shield that surrounded all of them vanished.
I already gave my orders for my warriors to stop attacking this bubble the moment I stepped up to talk to the people inside.
"Lord, we salute you," they all knelt on one knee, lowered their heads, while extending a weird ring.
Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com
"Sign these contracts first," I spread over contracts, "is this the ring that brought such shields up?"
"Yes lord," one answered, "it's a high grade artefact that can form an eternal shield."
"Eternal shield? Interesting," I got the ring and inspected its content. As this dude said, this was a high grade artefact, one that could form a shield that could last forever.
In essence, it was like the shields formed by my pillar, able to last forever. But this one didn't absorb any energy, and didn't have any risk of getting crushed.
It was a shield that could appear and stay there till the end of time. It couldn't be broken down, no matter how hard the enemy was, no matter how damaged it suffered.
That made me realise I got a bit lucky here. And now I understood part of Hulk's earlier arrogant attitude and weird confidence.
He seemed to see himself standing here, without the risk of losing his life. But that dude missed a simple and yet crucial thing here.
This war wasn't going to be won by whoever would survive the longest! Standing just in place without doing anything wasn't by any means a heroic or great deed.
That was part of the reasons why Hulk lost the trust of his people. Not to mention the deep grudges these folks held towards their race in the first place. Adding everything up resulted in that dude's pathetic fate.
He got a shield that could protect himself from any danger, external but not internal.
He'd never expected that the ones he took with and entrapped inside this prison-like shield were the ones who were going to end his life.
The shield was indeed quite scary and useful, but it had many limitations.
First the area it covered was already too little to begin with, enough only to surround half a mile radius at most. That wasn't enough to surround and protect my forces, not enough to let the ring replace my pillar in the first place.
And there was another weak point about this. Once used, it couldn't be mobilised! And that meant once I used the ring, the shield it'd form was going to stay in its place until I'd say otherwise.
That was… one of the most terrible points of any shield in my eyes. Of course my pillar shields were also the same, but at least they covered tens of miles and could even cover up hundreds, even thousands, as they could grow by adding my shields to them.
But this ring's shield couldn't do any of that. And as it was mainly designed for personal use, as some sort of personal protective shield, it got the worst feature of all.
Unlike my chariot's shield, the one that could move around with me and travel at high speed, this one here couldn't. And even if I stood on the chariot and moved, not by myself but by my chariot, the shield wouldn't follow me around and would stick in its place, letting me get out from it.
But it wasn't that useless. At some point, I might face a terrible danger, and would need a place to hide and think about my next move. Or I could let it shield me inside, while I'd use my staff and leave that place to another safer spot.
It was useful, but not that useful as a high grade artefact or something.
"Lord, what shall we do now?" as they signed my loyalty contracts, they now were mine.
"Well, let's first speak about your plans," I paused, "I mean your race plans about this world."
"Sure," and against what I expected, not a single one of them even hesitated and they all started to speak about the Hescos plans.
As I guessed it before, the Hescos used their relation with the system higher ups and secured themselves a detailed map of this world. It wasn't like the one I got from the higher up before, but one that got every single place of the races and enemies marked on it.
I was surprised to hear about the existence of such a map. It was so damn detailed to even update itself about the location of anyone over it once per hour.
That was how they managed to spot me before. In fact, they were tracking everyone in this world, knowing what each force was doing, and even assessing their progress.
From their words I got to learn that Hulk wasn't the general leader as he claimed before, not the one who was going to be assigned as a king of this world after the end of this war.
Chapter 1585 A Mistake
There were eleven more of such Hulk, making the Hescos sending twelve candidates for the position of the king.
That was… Typical! Such a race was the first in the entire universe for a reason. They got nothing more than good talents and candidates for any rank and position.
"Is there anyone I should worry about? Someone who is quite capable or something?" This is the most important question right now.
If all the people sent here were the likes of Hulk, then it was indeed an easy sail in this quest. But if there was a single dude who was really smart and cunning, then things were going to be quite bad.
"Well… There are three who aren't that bad, and two who are really dangerous…"
Damn! They got five! Not just one, but five!
"Tell me more about them," knowing about your enemies was a crucial step for one's victory over them. Besides, they already knew lots of things about me. And just knowing little about them looked a bit logical and just.
I got here for an entire hour about the details of these five. They were really good, especially the two they mentioned before as dangerous. They weren't just dangerous, but very dangerous!
They were smart, ambitious, and were supported by two of the most ancient families in the entire Hescos race. These two weren't joking or coming here thanks to their ties. According to what I heard, these two families kept the old tradition alive till now, letting their generations fight and compete in between each other, with the ones with real abilities and talents to get their deserved place in the family.
This was something that was supposed to happen to other families in that race. And per the words of these folks, such rare families were the ones who kept the Hescos race on their current high status in the universe, not allowing this race to decline.

"So they planned to let any of these two to be the final king… And others were sent here as fodders and to just keep me busy… Interesting plan, but… You mentioned something about a map that can update itself once per hour, right?"
I turned towards them and they simply pointed towards the dead Hulk.
"It's on his body, lord, inside his inventory…"
"Oh, let me see if I'll get lucky or what," I wasn't the one who really did kill this dude. So it was expected for me to get only ten percent of his belongings.
"Hmm… I got lots of things but…" I just touched his body and accepted the offer to claim ten percent of his inventory. I got lots of stuff, really lots of stuff, even a few artefacts as well.
But I didn't see any maps at all.
"You, you, and you… go and claim his inventory and give me the things you got," I selected nine others and asked them to claim his inventory.
Each could get ten percent of the inventory, and by using these nine, that Hulk's inventory would be all cleared.
This dude was one of the king's candidates, and he came from such a wealthy and strong family in the Hescos race. Just seeing the ten percent I got made it clear how frighteningly vast this dude's inventory was.
It was even on par with mine! And mine was filled mainly with warrior tokens. But this dude was filled with gears, potions, scrolls, and other different items.
He even got more artefacts than I had! But that wasn't important, none of this was. I just needed that map. With it, I'd put an end for the enemy's advance once and for all.
If the Hescos got such a map, then other races might have gotten it. Not to mention the ferocious enemy. All were seeing everything, deciding their next move like playing a grand chess or go game, all but me!
I was walking blind, with both hands bound and tied with heavy shackles. But all of this was going to change the moment I'd get that map.
"Not here… Not there… Not here as well…"
One by one they started to claim their loot. I got lots of stuff, shitload of stuff actually, but not the map.
Damn! Where was it then?
"Lord… We shall let the one who killed it try."
And just as three of them took their loot, the fourth stopped as he slowly said.
"Why?" I suddenly paused before realising the rules that I totally forgot, "ok, who killed this dude? Who delivered the last blow?"
"Well…" they looked at each other, "lord, we all hit him and we didn't know who did the last blow."
"Hmm… So just touch him, and if you didn't get the message to claim fifty percent, withdraw and don't accept it."
The rules were clear: the one who killed any race would get fifty percent, in addition to another five who each would claim ten percent.
It was… How long exactly? I felt like it was since another lifetime that I didn't let anyone take a share of anything I killed. And so I forgot this simple rule.
As I told them, they all tried, and eventually one dude who was wearing black suit, a general, shouted in triumph as he was the one who killed Hulk.
"Good, take your share, give me everything you got," I said to him before turning to the one who reminded me of my mistake, "as for you, just take your ten percent share, give me the map if you got it, and keep the rest."
"Thanks lord," he bowed in gratitude and happiness, while the rest showed their weird expressions on their faces.
"You all do know of my mistake, and yet he was the one who spoke up first. So he got the reward for doing this," I knew they already noticed my little mistake here from the start. But it seemed they were afraid that if they spoke, I might grow angry and might even punish or kill them.
Chapter 1586 The Map
So I used this chance to show them that I was only scary if they didn't speak up. Not to mention, keeping themselves silent was going to end up missing lots of great stuff.
I watched the one who killed Hulk with the one who spoke and got rewarded claim their share.
"I got it! I got it lord! I got the map!" and it wasn't that surprise for the one who got rewarded by me to get rewarded by fate.
"Good boy, give it to me then," he took out the map as he was jumping in delight. The map was a golden scroll, with metallic ends that gave it a majestic and unique appearance.
The moment I got it, I got a notification asking me to integrate it into the system. Of course I didn't reject that, and then a map appeared at last in my profile page, one that I could use and navigate easily.
"At last," I sighed when I saw this map. It was like I was blind since birth and this was my first time to start seeing.
The map was indeed detailed, just like the map I got from the higher up before. But comparing the two together was enough to tell me what I got was a rudimentary version of this map, the true map of the world.
There weren't only details in this map, but also intel. The map showed the location of everyone, be it people from my universe or the enemy, all got marked and tracked on this map.
The map would refresh once per hour as these folks here said. "Alright," I got what I wanted from here, "it's time for you to retreat and join my main army."
"Main army?!"
"Lord, isn't this…"
"No guys, you got it wrong," I laughed when I noticed the shock on their faces, "this isn't anything like my main army. It's just me, acting solo as vanguard, fighting at the front and dangerous lines. As for you, you'll go back and join the main army, fight against others and help me win this war."
"The lord is fighting on the frontline?!"
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
"The leader is fighting alone and far away from the main army?!!"
"I never heard about any Hescos who did that, only in old legends!!!"
"I'm just awesome," I laughed again over their funny comments.
"But lord… Where is the main army of yours? And how can we go there?"
The one who got rewarded by me spoke again and mentioned such an important point.
"You didn't tell me your name yet," I got interested in this dude. He had keen eyes and a sharp witted mind. Not to mention he got the courage to speak directly to me. And so I wanted to recommend him to Lily so she can make the best use of him.
"I'm Don."
"Cool," I opened a chat window with Lily and informed her about what was coming her way. In addition to the name of this interesting kid, "you can now go and join my main army."
"But…"
*Fwoosh!*
Like magic, the next moment a portal appeared as I used my staff. At such moments, I'd always sigh on these dudes having such tight suits covering up their faces.
Or else, the look over their faces at this moment would be priceless.
I watched them leave while Lily sent her response back, telling me she was going to make the best use of the new boys.
[By the way, I got a detailed map of the world]
[Didn't we get it already?]
[No, this one is more detailed. It tells us where our enemies are, where everyone are]
[For real? Damn! Then…]
[Let me see if I can share the feed over to you] I rarely used my channel for a long time already. But right now, I needed to give her the feed of the map so she could make the best use of it.
If that didn't work, then my second best option would be giving the map over to her. But that would limit my actions greatly.
I opened the channel, to find the number of viewers was now in the millions! Since when has my channel become this popular?
I ignored all the mess happening in the main chat room there, and went towards my crew and selected Lily. I found a way to share a video with her. And so I recorded the map and its content in a short video, and sent it over to her.
[Did you receive it? Tell me it works!]
[It works! It's really magical! Damn! Don't tell me the enemies already got such a godly tool from the start!]
[That's the case, unfortunately]
[I see… That explains how they found our scattered forces and managed to get them… But this… There are lots of our people scattered all over this world… What shall we do?]
[First things first] I paused, thought about what we really should do here, [Let's first organise the main bulk of our forces. You got portals linking to all the main lands there. If you need more, then tell me and I'll come and prepare more]
[Well… Per this map, the main bulk of our forces are already situated near the portals. As for the scattered ones… We got tons of forces out there… Are you sure you want to ditch them?]
[No, make them try to regroup based on the data here] I looked up at the map before adding, [As you can see our people, you can also see the enemies. Predict where and when the enemies would move, and inform our people with such intel all the time]
[But…]
[I'll keep sending videos once per hour, as this map is refreshed on that rate]
[Got it] she didn't like that. But if we risked widening the current war to encompass such a grand area, then things would become really messy and hard for us.
We still didn't organise our forces out of the capital and ground zero. Not to mention these two regions were now getting surrounded by tons of enemies.
Chapter 1587 Going To Save The God Race
The enemies already spotted our two bases, and they were moving to hunt them down. It was the same as what we were exactly going to do.
But instead of the enemies amassing their main forces here, I was the only one going to massacre their bases solo.
As I closed the chat with her, I started to study the map thoroughly. In the map, luckily, I got a mark of my current location.
I was on a continent far away from ground zero, but I was surrounded by other continents filled with enemies.
In each continent, there were two grand gatherings of the enemy forces. They looked like they were standing there doing nothing, but my hunch told me otherwise.
If they got a map, then they must have a way to move forces in between continents. They might not have anything like my portals, but they definitely got something similar.
So these gatherings, the ones that spanned for more than one hundred continents, belonging to not only the fiends, but Hescos, Selvators, and even Dragons, were supposed to surround grand portals there.
And it was just my duty to do something about it.
But before I'd do any of that, and as I was in the middle of the enemy's territories, it was time for me to check and look for bombs.
I instantly started my dance, and then entered my mirror world. Like before, I started to look around and search for bombs.
I found a few scattered around already. Few were deep down the flat ground, and others were deep down grand mountains.
Cool! I finally found the bombs, but I didn't get any way to take them out.
That didn't mean I'd not do anything about them for now.

I started to move out, heading towards the places I spotted before. Around one hundred different spots were there, spanning over hundreds of miles.
Of course in such a grand area, the enemy forces were present. But I didn't let them delay me and took out my Kings to deal with them.
What truly sucked was the presence of many bombs inside the bubble of the jumper race. But when I thought about them, I decided to let these bombs be.
They deserved this fate, if the enemy managed to activate these bombs, then they'd all die. And that would be one of the best outcomes these bastards deserved.
To not mess up the locations of these bombs, I started to leave behind my bubbles. As the entire place was away from the ring bubble of mine, it was clear to anyone seeing from far where the locations of these bombs were.
I even went to the market, purchased colourful flags, ones that were used for decorations and placed them on the right spots.
Like this, I could send my troops over after the research department finished their tasks. We'd need lots of drilling machines, lots of huge drilling machines, to get these bombs out.
And this… This was just the start.
I returned back to the bubble zone, went back to ground zero, and then went towards the area of special portals.
I already linked portals towards the other races bubbles. But before this, I didn't get to know which race was in which bubble, or where the enemies main bases were.
After getting all this, there was a grand change in plans indeed.
I started to examine my map again, recalling where I let the portals open before and where these places were.
"F*ck! Almost half of these are opening at insignificant places," I looked at the map again and again, seeing nothing else but me messing around and wasting my goddamn time.
Screw this! I should first create enough trouble at the real enemy bases.
Without waiting for anything, I took more balls and started linking them towards the enemy main bases. I activated ten at first, then started to activate the first one.
It was the one leading to the grandest gathering of the fiends at the fifty continents. There should be tons of forces there, and a huge bubble that contained one of the most important races to me; the god race!
Getting the god race was a crucial step for any of us. If the enemies managed to kill them, then they'd deprive a godly weapon from their enemy's side. And if such a race fell into the hands of the Hescos for example, then they'd be a turning table moment for them.
And if I gained them, it'd secure my situation and would deprive the enemies from any chance of weakening me.
That was why all the god race bubbles got dense packs of enemies around them. Be it the fiends, the Hescos, the Selvators, or other races that I didn't know… It was a grand festival out there and everyone was trying their best to take a bite of this delicious cake.
And that made me join this circus.
I selected the most populous place, and readied myself for a hellish battle out there.
My gods… Here your hero was coming to save you.
*Fwoosh!*
"Watch out!"
"Enemy breach!"
"Kill him! Take him down!"
"Activate alarms! Inform the higher ups…"
The moment I arrived, the entire world around me seemed to get lively. It was like a hornet nest out there.
Everyone got hyped and excited about my presence. In the next few moments, enemies started to flood everywhere in the sky and on the ground.
I appeared just tens of miles away from the colossal bubble of the god race. The god race wasn't like the jumpers, they didn't span their people over many bubbles, not over five continents at least.
They just took three continents, each with two bubbles only. It meant that the god race was gathered in large numbers in each bubble.
They'd never match the numbers of the jumper race, but they got crazy numbers regardless.
So I wasn't surprised to see a bubble that was grand enough to form a pillar of the sky in itself. It spanned right and left, covered a crazy amount of land as long as my eyes could see.
Chapter 1588 Meeting An Old Enemy
But that wasn't the most important point right now, the enemies here were. As they shouted and screamed, rallied each other, I also started to act.
The first thing I did was to summon my pillar's shield. Then I started to take out tons of my warriors.
I didn't just limit things over the Kings, but took out my soulers, reapers, Bulltors and shield like warriors, a mix of geared and full state warriors.
It was time for me to use my full power here.
I already gathered all the forces from the jumpers' bubble, and didn't leave anything out there. And right now I took out everything, even the research department weapons.
It was time for the big and final war, and it was time to show the enemies what I was truly capable of.
The human Hye was scarily strong! That what was I wanted everyone in this damn new world to f*cking know and believe.
My precious god race, just hang on for a bit more. I'd kill all of the enemies here and then rescue you.
And the big war just started with a big bang.
The forces on my side were already inside the shield. As for the enemy, they got part trapped inside and the rest were just out there, trying to get their way in.
Seeing this made me grin evilly. After all, the more damage the enemy did to my shields, the fiercer the retaliation waves coming out from the shields later on.
*Rumble!*
Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com
Just when I was going to release a wave of retaliation against the outside enemies, I saw something falling down from the sky, coming like lightning falling on the ground.
And this lightning was damn familiar, looking red in colour, fiercely falling on top of my shields, breaking a few layers apart, and going fast to break the rest.
"The angels… Damn you, bastards!"
It was the early threatening weapon and danger I ever faced since coming back in time, the star weapon.
I thought by the merge, insignificant things like these would be rendered useless or be omitted. But it seemed the merge happened while bringing all the shitty and filthy things towards here.
The first thing I did wasn't to ask questions, but to look around. These son of b*tches were always standing around, using some sort of camouflage power to keep themselves hidden.
But there was no more of this bullshit!
"Activate the retaliation wave!" I roared, releasing the shockwave of the already on the verge of breaking shields. I didn't even wait to see what that would cause to any of my enemies here, took out my fallen gods, and asked them to attack the source of that red lightning.
"You stay here," I prevented a few from attacking the star weapon, and kept them by my side, "on my mark, you'll hit any place I point at."
"Sure thing, lord!"
I heard one answer on one of the rarest occasions since I got them by my side.
They were deadly, quite deadly, but also quite expensive. The cheapest right now were the Kings. They weren't just the cheapest in price compared with other warriors, but they were the cheapest in the category of all deadly and lethal warriors I could summon or create.
The shockwave coming from my broken shields wasn't that strong or blinding. But it was enough to encompass the entire area around for tens of miles.
If not for the deadly red pillar of light, then the damage coming out from this shield would have been much weaker and pretty damn useless.
"There! Hit there! Fast!"
"And there!"
"Attack that spot!"
My plan was simple. As I released the shockwave, keeping a few of the fallen gods on my side, I was waiting for the appearance of the deadliest and sneakiest enemies I ever faced before; the fallen angels.!
They used and loved to call themselves the angels, but I already met the true angels. And these… These bastards were trash, deserving the low name of fallen angels, or even the trash angels or shitty angels.
These motherf*ckers were just the scam of all races, the lowest in the entire universe. And I wanted to kill them once and for all.
They thought they could keep playing such useless and childish dirty tricks again against me? Before this, before this merge, before this stage where everything was going to be decided, I'd have the power or ability to touch them.
But now? They weren't the guides anymore, weren't the ones who held many authority and power.
They were just normal races, like any other race, with a big star weapon.
Like a child, holding a cannon, and playing around while foolishly rampaging around the neighbourhood.
The grudge I felt deep down my soul was something I never held for anyone else before. Even to the fiends, even to the damn jumper, I didn't have anything similar to what I got for those jerks.
They were traitors, and now I was ready to execute vengeance over them.
The shockwave I released would encompass the area around for tens of miles. And as I knew the dirty fallen angels were nearby, surrounding this place already, then by facing the strong shockwave, they'd be forced to reveal themselves.
Like I expected, in the middle of all the shiny and blinding light of my shockwave attack, several black dots appeared out there.
And without even waiting to see what these black dots were, or how these dirty fallen angels did it, I gave the order in cold blood, watching the fallen gods attack and exterminate these black dots one after another.
It was like hunting flies using fire. No matter what, just a single attack from my fallen gods and the black dot would be extinguished.
At the same time, the other fallen gods moved and started using their ultimate attacks towards the star weapon.
I didn't know how this star weapon was brought here.
Chapter 1589 Killing An Old Enemy
Lands had merged together with other pieces of lands of other worlds. But that star weapon was already outside the sealing dome surrounding Earth, floating in the space out there.
Did that mean the merge didn't just happen at the scale of land but also at parts of the space adjacent to the worlds?
It was just a funny and interesting notice, one that wouldn't make any difference at all right now.
The star weapon got bombarded by my fallen gods. And just as I expected, it got surrounded and protected by other defensive star weapons out there.
The fallen angels already used such tricks before in dealing with me. And now it seems quite old and boring.
"Keep firing," I took out tons of high energy materials, "consume there and use them anytime you want."
At the old battles with these fallen angels, I always struggled to destroy these star weapons. And the reason was simple, I lacked wealth.
Strength was equal to wealth, and as I grew stronger, I also became wealthier.
I got many resources, just like this high energy materials, the same materials I claimed before when I took down the weird pillar islands.
They were left in my inventory and waited, and now it was time for them to shine. The fallen gods were indeed the deadliest force on my side, provided that they got their energy replenished.

They always were able to take down the likes of these star weapons, but their fuel just ran short in the midway. And now it was time for them to fight without any restraints, getting unleashed and going for these damn star weapons.
I watched the star weapons up there getting destroyed and exploded like little sparkling dots. It was already dusk, and it wasn't that easy to see distant star weapons with the naked eye.
However seeing these weapons detonating and exploding was indeed a funny thing to watch, a thing that was so hard to miss.
And as the star weapons out there were getting removed from the chess board, the dirty fallen angels around were getting massacred, for the first time ever since the start of the apocalypse.
I didn't know if this was also the case for other apocalypses in the universe, where the guides could go astray, lose sight and goal, help few and suppress others just for their own benefits.
I also didn't know if such dirty folks would get attacked by people in the apocalypses, get killed perhaps? Get punished by the system higher ups? Or this toxic circle was kept alive to serve the dirty needs of those despicable races out there?
Anyway, this was a good day for me, for my people, for my race, for the old Earth. The ones who did all the horrifying things in the past to us, were now getting butchered on my hands.
Seeing these black dots explode, turning into glaring bright dots, before merging with the entire world, was something awesome!
During all this, I didn't even forget to add more shields, let them stack a few damage from the falling starlight, then release the offensive attack over the world again.
It just felt great to hunt down the enemies and black dots like this. It was fun! But that didn't stop me from watching the other enemies around.
I was in the heart of the enemy forces, nearly this close from getting submerged by them before. And now? I released the shockwave towards the outside world, but the inside was still filled with many forces.
At the same time, when I used my shields over and over again, the entire area covered by my shields expanded. And that allowed me to see new enemy troops getting in from the outside.
Even with the offensive attack from my shields, it seemed it lacked enough strength and lethality to take down the enemies out there.
I saw many got deep wounds, but mostly got light ones. And they were supposed to be the ones closest to the shields, the ones who were supposed to suffer the most.
But it seemed the attack unleashed by my shields was weak. I got that I didn't give my shields any time to prepare and absorb enough damage.
That was true in case of normal situations, not this one. We got ourselves the huge and scary, the all deadly and terrifyingly strong, the colossal star weapon in space!
A single hit from this weapon was enough to change the entire terrain over, take down cities, even taking down me and my shields.
No matter who, be it a mighty race descendant or a paragon, all were vulnerable in front of the pure and scary might of this weapon.
So how come such a god-like weapon ends up releasing such a weak and miserable amount of power?
And then it hit me!
"Yes… They lost tons of points thanks to my intervention… And now? They did nothing to activate this weapon, literally nothing at all!"
It became clear, crystal clear to me, what caused such a downfall of that star weapon.
To activate it before, the fallen angels had to amass a large amount of contribution points, points that they gained from the different stages of the apocalypse.
I already crushed all the quests, started a world wide war against all races there, even inviting other races from other worlds, and crushed them!
The traitors? They were either dead, enslaved by other races thanks to the hatred they got against humans, thanks to me actually, or… They got nowhere to show their deadly and treacherous scheme!
All humans were either following me, or following far away overlords, ending up getting scattered over a huge stretch of land.
And now? We all got merged, teleported and moved towards here, with a heated up battle, one that these fallen angels couldn't get any benefit from.
Their most glorious moment was when the apocalypse started and races like humans were desperate for guidance.
Chapter 1590 Meeting Cyclopes
But now? They were pretty f*cking useless! And that explained why they started to act from working for their own benefits, to serving others like dogs.
"That makes you a baby in my eyes!"
However, realising all this changed the fate of that star weapon in my eyes.
This place… This new world was going to fall into my hands. But controlling it wouldn't be that easy compared with conquering the main enemies.
I could already see lots of hidden resistance pockets of power, folks remaining from the once mighty armies. They would try their best to create chaos and attack my lands.
Their presence was inevitable actually, but their numbers were the thing that troubled me. And with this scary weapon, I could land punishment over any of these, no matter where they were.
The star weapon wasn't any threatening to me right now. The most it could do was to peel off a few layers of my shields, which would be considered something amazing for any other weapon but this one.
Right now I shifted my full attention towards the outside, calling my fallen gods attacking the star weapon back, and added them in the mission to hunt down the fallen angels.
At some point, the star weapon stopped attacking, and yet I kept my shields releasing shockwaves by using bones.
The fallen angels might seem scary thanks to their authority and power, but they were just like any race in the universe. In fact, they weren't even in the top ten list of races in the universe.
I got nothing to worry about, not even a scary race that could come after me later on and cause me problems.
But that made me realise something.
"If my world was just a typical case for other worlds, then does that mean there are other races here acting like guides?"
This was a simple question, yet it opened a large door in front of my eyes. The enemy list just grew a bit bigger by now.
"One enemy at a time," I kept infusing my shields with bone energy, enough to release a weak wave of attack. At the same time, I started to enjoy this hunting game of the fallen angels.
But like normal, any fun was destined to come to an end. After the disappearance of the red rays, the fallen angels struggled to escape from this place, with no avail.
As they started to run away, I simply increased the magnitude of my bone energy to a certain limit, enough to keep them entrapped inside my shockwave range.
I thought they'd struggle, fight back, do anything, but in the end they didn't. They just tried to keep themselves safe inside their bubbles, ending up getting killed by my fallen gods.
"I once heard that any guide must come from a race who ruled over a world in the apocalypse… But this… You are damn weaker than humans!"

I looked around, and the entire world was now void of any angels. What remained was the normal enemies, the fiends and their forces.
If the fallen angels managed to do anything here, then they managed to stall for time, delaying my attack over the enemies for almost one hour.
During this, the enemy seemed to gather up lots of giants. They were the one eyed giants, but with full body gears and lots of sparkling lights coming from their one eye.
"You want to take down my shields using… Cyclops?" I raised one eyebrow, and the next moment I released not my Kings, not my soulers, not my warriors, but my fallen gods, "kill them!"
The giant one eyed dudes really looked different and slightly dangerous. So I'd not risk anything at this point, enough with time wasting.
So I let my fallen gods test these folks, before releasing all the Kings and warriors to kill the enemies outside the shields.
I watched how the newly arrived giants fell under the brutal attacks of my fallen gods. But soon enough I noticed that many of these giant cyclopes were able to resist many hits.
I looked closer, even used my Hawk Eye skill, and there I found out what happened.
"The Exomachines… They are using Exomachines like giant shields… That's cheating!"
I didn't expect that to be honest. The Exomachines have the ability to stand against the deadly attacks of my shields, the deadly waves of my explosive bones' fire… And so it was expected for them to stop the attacks of my fallen gods.
"Last time I checked, they can survive against my soulers for a bit of time… But I haven't tested my Kings yet…"
I saw a large number of those giant cyclops drawing closer to my shields while not a single damage was brought over to them.
I felt the urge to go out there and stop them myself. The enemy wouldn't send them like this without a reason. They were able to take down my shields, I could feel it.
But going out there at this moment wasn't a good thing actually. The enemy might succeed and my Kings might not be able to stop all of them. That was the worst case scenario. And so if that happened, I shouldn't be busy fighting, but ready to redeploy more shields if needed.
Besides, I was curious to see how these one eyed giants were going to take down my shields.
The Kings were a bit stronger than the soulers. Even comparing them against the geared Soulers was also in their favour.
But what I thought before happened. The Kings passed through the cyclopes, without taking them down.
The giants were already enough to cause my soulers and King's problems. And now they have the Exomachines as well.
The number of Kings attacking those giants was simply too much, too much for the cyclopes to stop all the Kings coming at them.
But they managed to stop enough, enough to let them reach my shields.
"Let me see what you can do," I was curious and waited for the giant cyclops to act.
And then something weird happened.
I always thought the giant cyclops to be the ones to take my shields down. I thought about their eyes, flashing with dangerous light, or their strong physique and strength.
But what really happened was for the Exomachines to act. They were the ones I thought they were there just to deliver the cyclopes to the shields. But that wasn't true.
The cyclopes were the one delivering the Exomachines towards the shields.
Under my watchful eyes, I saw the giants shrink in size, acting as if they were melting or getting absorbed by the Exomachines.
"Interesting…" I kept waiting inside, watching all this, watching as if I was watching an interesting movie or something.
*Boom!*
And like my bones, these Exomachines absorbed the giant cyclops carrying them, and then started to brightly shine, seemingly on the verge of exploding.
But against what I expected, the Exomachines just threw themselves on the shields, released their bright energy and light into my shields, cracking them, and seemingly this close from taking them down.
"As if I'm going to let you do it," I harrumphed, took back all the Kings and forces outside, before releasing the shockwave from my shields.
The shields were indeed on the verge of getting crushed, and the weird thing was that this didn't just affect the outermost layers of my shields like usual, but all the layers forming my shields.
The cracks spreading were taking all the layers and expanding to crush the shields into tiny pieces.
And just when the enemy was this close from doing it, I released my counter attack.
To take down my shields, it meant the enemy was using a scary amount of energy. I couldn't tell what these Exomachines did, or how the cyclopes gave such immense energy to them. And that wouldn't matter anymore.
The shockwave came from the amount of damage stored inside my shields. And just as the shields got on the brink of destruction, then it was expected for the shockwave to be quite scary.
And it was.
"Oops… I ended up stalling myself inside!"
The moment I released the shockwave attack, the entire world turned all bright and the world outside vanished from my eyes.
I didn't want to get strangled in here, and yet the enemy managed to force my hands and made me release such a deadly attack.
I couldn't control this attack, the same way I couldn't control my fire. And so it was expected for me to stay inside and not move.
Joking! That was what the enemies wanted me to do, dreamt about, but I wouldn't do it.
I got a map, and I could simply travel to anywhere on this map using my portals.
So if the enemy thought they'd strangle me here, they were mistaken. I learnt from this battle, and got to know how the enemy planned to fight me back.
