Ray grasping his words and understanding Mike's Ideal says
"If you're so mighty and you would beat us in second then for us to accept your
request of a duel or not… well… it won't change anything from our prospectives.
Does your God say kill you preys with good manners when he says to you that you
have to duel against them? I have another idea, to make us to have a chance or
to at least make us believe so, well… why don't we settle this with a game?"
Bara in the meanwhile thinks "this guy… if he'd have still a reign and he'd
become a king he'd also be the head of the Anglican church, so it'd be
reasonable to think that this is the reason behind his attachment to God, but
he didn't mention really anything about any religion in particular, also none
of the main religions that were diffused until some years ago, say that it's
right to settle things with a duel. This makes me think that he probably
believes in the existence of a God, that is born in his own consciousness. In
fact, often people believe in the existence of a god because of stupid reasons,
like the existence of life and the complexity of the universe, and he seems
that kind of person. To confirm this that's also the fact that Ray actually
wants something from this person, against that he wouldn't go through this,
also Ray usually doesn't give a damn about anybody's belief but his owns, he
also isn't the kind of person that tries to annoy people without reason even if
he gave him one, so Ray knew that Mike wasn't Christian. Anyway, this guy isn't
stupid at all… against that he's playing his own cards very well, they both are
playing a character, but Ray one is extremely real, I don't understand how does
do that. Mike also recognized some worth in having a conversation with us and,
he knows that if we're here we're no nobodies."
Ray while hearing Mike's answer was more focused on what was
behind him rather than caring about him. The sky of this planet was like the
land made out of different colors because of the substances that were in it and
that sometimes also merged with the clouds. The substances were of various
types, lots of them were attracted by the planet's gravity and stayed here for
billions of years, the atmosphere and the chemical elements in it have a vital
function in the 'Gray Tractor's life. They avoid asteroids and meteors to ger
whole to the ground avoiding more pain to this poor creature. The chemicals
instead were meant to keep alive the little beings on it's surface that help
the planet in lots of ways, like helping it's skin to grow in the right manner,
without overlapping and in the safest way possible. The life form on this
planet are also very different from each other, there are some made out of
silicon and some made out of carbon. Naturally the ones made of carbon are the
most complex ones but, complexity it's not the only thing that matters, against
that it doesn't matter too much since they're not single living being but their
consciousness it's one with the planet.
Since they are comparable to cells, they do not have their own purpose
so the best they can do is to help the Planet.
"You might have a point saying that, but I also understand
that you're actually a couple of cunning individuals and so making it a game…
wouldn't it be more favorable to you if it was a game? Since you probably are
smarter than me and I'm also alone…" Bara while they're chatting is analyzing
their communication's strategies and he thinks: "this guy is thinking that
making this request he is making things easier for himself, what he doesn't
know is that Ray already thought about it, and he made a request that he
wouldn't absolutely accept just to get something in between, that is what he
was looking for from the very beginning. Aside from that even in a physical
match he can't compete with Ray, and if he thinks that he can he is just very
delusional, but I can't blame him, how can you make a monster stand against a
god… or a demon? I'd say that evil and good are concept that are too much of a
restrain when talking about us. But from what I know Lucifer was a good looking
dude, but also Jesus probably was so it's hard to decide from looks… wait… I
got it… I'd rather be Lucifer since at
least I'm not around twelve dudes until I'm 33, and so I won't die a virgin…
yes, yes, it makes much more sense, I'm sure Lucifer has much more experiences
when talking about certain things."
Ray completely turns the tables around saying "I have a
better proposal, I know a game… in which you can express all of your
mightiness! And since it'd be more fair if we played in a 2 vs 2, and we could
also say that when playing games it's more fun when you invite lots of people
to play with you… naturally sometimes you can't do that because there's nobody
willing to play… but right now… there's your brother… all alone… he is surely
very bored! Why don't we lend him a hand? We'll have lots of fun!" after saying
this Ray grabs Mike's arm and he brings him into the void too. Bara looks up in
the sky and thinks "this guy… what's up with this habit of his…" And after
taking a long breath he follows him up in the sky. Ray was sprinting a lot buy
Mike wasn't trying to resist him even if while they were up in the sky he tried
to tell him "Hey man, I didn't agree to any of this" but he couldn't finish
this sentence that Ray proceeded to sprint even more, his lack of resistance
made it seems like he was ok with what Ray said but anyway he wanted to have
the chance to speak up and accept the proposal on its own.
After a single instant they were already arrived at the
point where they had to meet the older brother, he was in a city it wasn't he
biggest one, in fact they were anyway very far from the place of the reunion.
The main color of this place was the blue, it was every where in different shades, in certain
places it was so dark that it looked like the blue that you could imagine
in the deep see where light would be
barely able to reach, and then there were also other shades of blue that were
way more light, and when the blue became almost white there were also stripes of yellow of a single
shade. The place that they were in was were the energy produced by the planet
was distributed on its surface, so it would be a lethal place for most living
beings in the entire universe. The planet in fact uses nuclear fission to get
most of the energy that it used to live and move around the cosmos and in
general to go after all of its biological needs, this planet so could also be
considered a little star from the insight, that was easily understood by all
the parties reunited in that place since such amount of energy can only be come
from fission. In that place there were some giant structures that extended
themselves from the ground and that reached the clouds in the sky, their
purpose was to be literally 'food' for the living intelligent cells on the
surface. Basically energy has to be transformed somehow and so the energy that comes from the nuclear fission can be
directly used by the planet for moving or attacking something, and it can also
be transformed in chemical energy. So that it could be somehow stored and it
would also be a good way to make the inhabitants survive.
On that planet each city was different because each place
was also very different and had a very different function from the others, just
like the human body that on its surface has many extroflexions and
introflexions that have a various
purposes, like ears, eyes, mouth, nose and so on. What they had before of their
eyes was something really incredible, this cities didn't have holes bordering
them since there was no chance for the creature living in them to go in a
city or a place in which they had nothing
to do with, because they were able to understand where they were thanks to
they're arms that were able to understand the chemical composition of the place
so there would be no misunderstanding, and also because of that there were no
signal on the streets and also the creatures mad little to no talk with each
other. The houses in this particular place were built over these long
structures that reached the sky. Those creatures build them on top of it and
they use its location to do their work efficiently, in fact they basically
destroyed those towers and they gave the pieces that they broke time after
time, to other beings that had the role of bringing that stuff in the rest of
the planet, while doing so the houses would slide on that thing as the creature
destroying it would make it shorter and
shorter. This process would go on until they destroyed all of it and they were
free go to another structure that is still at full height, build another house
on top of it and the process begins once again, naturally the planet
automatically starts growing back this tower of food when they are completely
destroyed like our body makes our hair grow back when they fall. So if I's have to describe this place more clearly,
well… from the distance it would look like an enormous bamboo forest that is
almost completely blue and the 'bamboo' over it has some houses that look like
little balconies.
Ray spotted instantly Mike's brother and after stopping to
grab Mike by the arm Ray waved his hand in Mike's brother direction. He would
have exchanged greetings if it was not for the fact that their presence there
was not expected, it wasn't part of the plan at all. So, Ray smiled at him as
usual and when they all gathered that guy says to them "Hi. Nice to meet you.
But… why are you here, what do you need?" and Ray that doesn't forget things
easily and that wants to laugh a little bit says "Nice to meet you to, we're
here to ask you to participate to something fancy, but isn't it rude to ask
others to introduce themselves when you are not doing the same thing first?".
After hearing those words Mike became red because of the embarrassment he felt
and he says "yeah brother, he's right, you should have introduced yourself
first to them before asking them to, politeness first!" Mike's brother wipes his forehead with his
left hand with a very tired expression
making it look like he was thinking "with what kind of crazy dudes do I have to
deal with this time" and he wasn't very far off.
Mike's brother anyway decided to introduce himself even if everything
looked so weird in his eyes, but anyway he decided to introduce himself "please
excuse my rudeness, I'll introduce myself, my name is mike and that behind you
is my brother, Paul" Bara looks at this guys and think "well, ahahah hh hhh,
look at what we've got here!" meanwhile Mike that has just been called Paul
makes a grimace "tstz… ugh" then the
other gut that just introduced himself as Mike says "ok, from my brother face I
understand that my brother introduced himself with my name, and I'm analyzing
my brother expression because you two instead don't look surprised at all,
haha. It was all a part of a plan of
ours but it looks like my brother already screwed it all, or maybe he has found
some interesting business with you… well… I don't know. The plan consisted of
me attacking the other faction as Mike too and making the two factions fight
each other, since they'd actually be after a different target. So the idea was
that after the alliance between the two factions against the two mikes, Paul
disguised as Mike would have gone to talk with the other guy that we wanted to
make you ally with so that you'd try to give him a beatdown and then we'd go
after you weakened by the previous
fight." Ray makes a very satisfied face and says "so Godlike and so clever,
you're so smart and your level of intelligence it's so similar that you look
like brothers!" Ray's irony naturally doesn't make itself be awaited. Than Ray
continues to talk and says to him "Well, Mikes brothers… ME, Ray and my faithful friend Bara would like to
challenge you to a fun game! Would you like to know what is it about?".
