Chapter 915 A Demoness!

The two girls seemed to feel something amiss. Yet with a silent warning gaze of mine, they kept their silence and slowly nodded.

"Come with me," I said to my Hilary while moving towards the stair, "let's talk down there."

"Ok."

She followed me towards one of the rooms there. Once we entered, I turned and asked:

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine… However…"

And just as she said it, she suddenly closed the door with her foot, stripped off her entire armour and clothes, before jumping over me.

It happened all of sudden, making me fall over the bed with her body over mine. Her lips kept devouring mine before I got turned on.

And then I held her soft and slim body and touched her soft skin with my fingers, before turning her around, looking at her in an evil way, "You asked for it."

And for the next five hours, we kept devouring each other until we both laid on the bed with short breaths and weak bodies.

She… Was indeed a bit different. She got that lust from before, but it tasted different. It was like the same person but I got to meet her after ten years being apart or something.

She got new tricks, had new spots to get aroused and moan from. She was aggressive and bold before, but this time she felt like she was trying to conquer and dominate me all the time.

Of course she failed, as I was the one who got to dominate my girl, not the other way around.

"Who are you?" and as I got a few minutes to catch my breaths, I noticed that she recovered faster, much faster than before.

In previous times, she always went to sleep, losing her consciousness after such intense intimate time together.

Yet this time her eyes were wide open. Her two lumps on her chest kept rising up and down, but she didn't seem as tired or exhausted like before.

"Did you think only one soul got over me?" and as she opened her mouth, I got to see a weird satisfying smile on her face, one that never appeared before over Hilary's face.

This one looked more devilish than ever.

"Who are you?" and with a swoosh, my light glaive appeared. I didn't have my strength sacrificed as I didn't see any value in wasting my souls over such a thing during my travels.

"Don't worry, I'm still Hilary," she put a face, one that looked truly exhausted and tired, with semi-opened eyes. It was just the same face that my chick put after any time together and when she was about to sleep.

"And I'm not," and then her face changed again, showing her sober look, with such daring eyes that seemed to want to devour me again.

"This…" It felt really weird. It was indeed her, but it wasn't.

What? Did she get a personality change? Or did she get that old and nasty soul disease humans had before the apocalypse? The one called schizophrenia?

"Tell me, human race Hye…" and just as she said it, she sat straight, looking at my glaive as if she was looking at a toy. Her way of calling me stirred up all the vigilance inside me.

This way… It was never said to me except by races other than my humans!

"Tell me… Have you ever heard of demons?"

"Demons? The ones in the ancient stories?" I raised an eyebrow. For a reason, this thing inside my Hilary, or this new Hilary, seemed to not fear my glaive at all.

So I put it down and used it as a stick instead, leaning my head over it and watching her while she added:

"No, I mean real demons."

"Are you… Part of that race?" I slowly asked, while every single feature of her didn't miss my eyes.

And as I said it, she slowly nodded.

"So… You aren't a human anymore?"

"No, I'm still a human," she shook her head, making me more puzzled.

"Don't look at me like this, I can't control myself when you do," she laughed, such a laugh that managed to turn me on.

Damn! Were demons all this sexy?

"I'm… A mix of the two races I guess," she raised her eyes to the ceiling, patting over her lips with the tips of her fingers in such a tempting way.

"I got where the human soul came from, but what is all about this demon soul? How?"

"Do you think your enemies belong to which race?" she suddenly looked at me in such a serious way, saying such dangerous words.

"You do mean…"

"I am… Or was part of that race. We aim to turn the entire cosmos into a living hell, a place where we will call home."

"This…"

"Don't be surprised. Although these are just memories of my demoness soul, the one that controlled your beloved girl, they are correct and solid. We are your enemies, everyone's enemies. And… We aren't alone."

"…"

I never expected any of this. I always craved to get more information about these mysterious enemies. Yet when I got the chance to have such, I didn't feel the same excitement or joy I expected to have.

"You don't look that happy to hear such secrets. What? Did anyone race me up and tell you about this before me?"

She looked a bit sad, and I couldn't help but sigh. "No, you are the first."

"Cool, then you shall reward me."

"What?"

"Come on! Don't be stingy…" and just before I could get a head or tail of what was going on, she jumped again on top of me, "give me a handsome reward using your precious thing down there."

"You…"

And before I could say anything, she sealed my lips with hers while her hands moved, touched my body, reigniting my fire once more.

Ok, if you wanted to get rewarded in such a way, then don't blame me later on for tearing you down till near death.

Chapter 916 What Do You Know About Demons?

And this time I didn't leave her before she already lost all her power and went loose and weak over the bed, snoring like a little girl.

"What the heck have I thrown myself into exactly?" and looking at Hilary's weak and naked body made me inwardly sigh.

This… Was going to be a great chapter in my life for sure!

She got controlled, and by two and not one. She ended up merging the two souls together, ending up with this… New and bizarre soul and personality.

It might seem crazy, but she got the memories of her old soul and new one. If she got the memories of the demoness, then she would be a valuable source of intel about that race.

Demons? Hmm… why not? I got to see all the legendary races mentioned in ancient human tales. Why not having demons, and even devils?

I went up there while thinking about another thing. It was a small yet dangerous possibility.

Was my Hilary gone? Was this demoness just doing an act?

It was a possibility, and yet there was some sort of logic behind pushing it aside for now.

If she was an enemy, then she should aim at my head. Then why didn't she do it? I was vulnerable while hacking and devouring her. If she wanted to do anything, she had lots of chances to do it.

I even lowered my guard with the intention of not arousing her suspicion. Yet she never took a single move against me, and seemingly kept enjoying every single moment together.

Well… Whatever your true intentions were, demoness Hilary, I'd get to know them all sooner or later.

But… What was with my luck with girls? In my past life during the apocalypse, when I was without a class, I never got a chance to taste a single bite of any girl.

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

And when I came here and became a mighty lord, I got two girls. One went missing, and the other ended up changing in the hands of a lustful demoness.

Damn my luck! It was great at everything, everything except girls!!

Was it a curse? Or was it just… my nature?

I couldn't tell!

Was it safe to leave her here? Among my people?

I also didn't know the answer to that.

But I didn't believe I was that important for such a mighty race to send a spy on me. All they needed to do was to use their eyes in my universe, and they'd get everything they needed to know.

It didn't make sense, but to be safe I decided to keep watching her all the time.

"You finally finished what you were two doing, humph!" as I got to the rooftop of my chariot, I heard Angelica's complaining words.

And just hearing her, acting a bit much like her old self, making me feel more relieved.

"What?" and as I didn't say anything, she folded her arms and kept tapping on the floor of my chariot, "is there anything you wish to say?"

I moved my eyes away from her. She regained most of her nature back, and so it was better to avoid such a lustful fiery human lady.

When I looked at Lily, I noticed the big pile of papers on her side. It seemed the two were working on drawing some sort of map. And when I looked around, I couldn't help but frown.

The mountains kept stretching even till now. I was sure I took almost half a day flying while keeping myself busy with the demoness Hilary.

For how long did these mountains extend?

"I see you two are working," I moved towards Lily, bypassing Angelica and ignoring her totally. "Drawing maps of this region?"

"It's really a huge treasure trove," Lily couldn't help but grin, "look there? These purple orange mountains are formed of a very precious and rare ore. It's rumoured that using this ore on any weapon will increase its stats by ten folds!"

"What?!!" I got instantly shocked and pretty much interested in this ore.

"It's a fact, but you need good and capable blacksmiths, experienced enough to temper this ore and make it into a form that will give such an effect."

"We got tons of them, did you forget?" I kept my eyes over these mountains, while wondering if the purple colour would turn out to be my new lucky colour or what.

"Numbers don't matter, skill and proficiency do," she said in a serious tone, "or else they'll end up ruining the precious ore. If we don't have such calibre of blacksmiths, we shall sell these and gain profit instead."

"This…"

"It's for the better, much better than just wasting these ores for nothing."

"Ok…" I hesitated to agree on what she just said despite it making quite sense, "are there more precious ores like this?"

"There are tons of these," she laughed, "but we need to first reach an end for this place. Besides, we only crossed it in one direction. We need to roam around and discover this place better."

"Cool, you got your chariots and you can do it."

"But…"

"Don't worry," I got what she was fearing, "once you are done here. Just send me a message and I'll come to pick you."

"That's great," Lily said.

"How about Hilary?" and just as Lily said this, Angelica jumped and asked, "is she alright?"

"This…" mentioning my demoness Hilary made me turn my full attention towards Lily, "tell me, have you ever heard about the demon race?"

"Demon what? Oh, you mean those little demons who work as fodders in any fight, right?"

"What little demons?" I was surprised to hear that, "tell me everything you know about them."

She gave me a weird look, while Angelica gave me a much weirder look. The latter just asked me a question about Hilary, and I ended up asking Lily instead about such a weird race.

"There is nothing much to say," and as the two girls exchanged silent gazes in between each other, Lily slowly said, "these little demons appear at certain places in the universe. We just have to hunt them down, and enslave them to work for us as fodders."

"This is all?!" I was sure there was more, much more than that.

Chapter 917 You Want To Work Me Till Death And Have Fun With Other Girls!

But unlike my expectations, she shook her head.

"They are a lowly race, and we… Big races never cared that much about weak ones."

"And yet our demise will befall us from such weak races…" I muttered to myself, knowing that big races did a grave mistake underestimating weak races.

"I beg your pardon?" Lily exclaimed in doubt.

"What about Hilary? Is she ok?"

"She… Is fine for now," I moved my eyes between the two girls, "but… You need to treat her with extra caution."

I said my last piece in a serious tone and face, making the two girls look at each other again.

"Why? Is she in such danger?" Angelica was still caring about her friend. After all that last debate that created such wedge between the two wasn't their fault to begin with.

They got controlled to do such things. And it seemed Angelica was feeling a little guilty about going overboard before with her.

"It's not that," I shook my head, "it's you who are in danger around her."

The two blinked before I briefed them with what I knew.

"Damn! You mean… My little cute Hilary…" Angelica's eyes turned red while words choked in her throat.

"Are you sure about this? Merging souls? And one that ended up being a demoness? What does that demoness race even mean?!!"

"That's why I asked you," I shrugged, "let's put that aside for now. Whenever she is around any of you, you have to keep a close eye and never lower your guards."

The two didn't like how things were heading, neither did I. But I had to guard against the worst.

"What will you do now?" Angelica was crying in silence as Lily asked.

"Nothing," I shrugged, "I'll keep heading this way till I reach another continent."

"I meant… About her," Lily pointed at the direction of the stairs, "are you going to keep her around you?"

"It's the safest option, for now at least," I knew this couldn't continue forever.

"Wait… Didn't she sign a contract with you? Like all of us did?" and as Angelica kept crying in silence, seemingly blaming herself, she suddenly jumped and shouted, with shiny eyes.

"That's given, but…" I knew I was secured by contracts and system, yet that was only viable over races of my universe.

I got to experiment with a system over races from a hostile universe and it worked. However that might be thanks to the long time the two universes kept fighting and interacting with each other.

I wasn't sure… Wasn't sure that contracts would apply on races from other universes.

"You are doubting the system?!" Lily could read through my fears, and I couldn't help but slowly nod.

"Leave this matter to me," I firmly said, "I let one of my girls go away before. And won't repeat the same mistake again."

"This…" Lily was about to say something when Angelica suddenly jumped again, shouting like crazy:

"Does this mean you are… Single now?"

I didn't know why, but from her tone and face I could see genuine happiness and a weird yearning and longing.

"Girl… This isn't the right time or place to say such things," and in a flash I got what she was thinking about.

But my attempt in killing down the early thoughts in her mind failed as her eyes glared in such a way, making me sure she was thinking seriously about these ideas.

"Ok big girl, let's go," Lily got what was going on here, and for a second there I saw a similar look on her face just like the one over Angelica's.

Damn! What did I get myself into? Girls… Couldn't you see that any girl coming near me would result in suffering at such a bitter and desperate end?

If it was up to me, I'd rather stay single forever, chasing after my two girls the same way that crazy sovereign of the Toranks race was doing towards his lost girl.

It was better than getting more girls and watching them suffer. It felt really bad, very very bad to watch my girls suffer without having any say in it.

It was better for me to stay single for now.

I watched the two reluctantly leave on their chariots before going west once more.

I was now burdened with much more thoughts than before. I kept thinking about this demon race thing until half a day later, Hilary came on board.

She wore such a tight and revealing dress that I didn't know where she got it. There was not a single scrap of armour on her body, making me feast on her without being able to look away for a few long minutes.

"What?!" she chuckled, acting innocent as if she didn't do all of this on purpose.

"I just have to say… I like the new Hilary better," I laughed and she looked at her body as if she was discovering what she wore for the first time.

"Stop it," I shifted my gaze away, "these little tricks won't affect me."

"What tricks? This is just who I am," she evilly grinned, and I didn't look at her for long this time. "What do you plan to do with me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you plan to tie me with a rope, and keep me down there for your fun time?" she said in such a seductive way, swaying that damn waist right and left, making me want to taste her even more.

But I exerted a legendary level of control over myself this time, clearing my throat as I said:

"I'll let you do what you did before. Or you don't recall?"

"I got what you want to do here," she crossed her arms, giving me a familiar look of her face as she complained, "you plan to work me to death and let you have fun with other girls."

"This…"

"I just saw the two who were with you… These two… They are drooling all over you. Humph, you are my man, and I won't let any other girl have a single bite of that tasty thing down there."

Chapter 918 Will You Punish Me With Ropes?

Her eyes were fixed over my lower half, making me feel a little uncomfortable actually.

But she acted for a few moments as the old Hilary. Even her eyes glared in the same challenging way as if this was some sort of a contest she had to never lose at.

"It's good to have you back," I smiled and she pouted her lips, acting as childish as she used to be.

"Let me stay with you," she crossed the small distance between us. Surrounded my neck with her arms, "I might behave bad and do something stupid for you to punish me and tie me down with ropes. You punish whoever does something wrong, right?"

Hearing her words and feeling her breaths from such close distance made my body faintly tremble.

She wore things that Angelica used to wear. Feeling her soft skin exposed from her short and tight clothes made me yearn for more.

"Ahem, those who commit mistakes are demoted," I cleared my throat and tried to break free, but she kept following my steps as if she was my shadow, "don't forget what happened for Alex and Leo."

"Lucky couple indeed," she whispered, moving her fingers to touch my face and neck, "don't you envy them? They got all the time in the world to live in such peace with the ones they loved."

"Such peace won't come without me standing as the pillar for this kingdom," I slowly pushed her arms, as I felt she was trying to convey something here to me, something I didn't like.

"But getting some rest, having more fun isn't bad, right? Kings shall all have time for themselves, my mighty king."

I was surer now of my earlier hunch. "No thanks, I prefer to live the life I'm living right now."

"It's a tedious life, stressful to the bones… Can't you take a few days off? Few weeks to stay with me? I promise, you won't get bored."

"No, thanks," I stood firm, and didn't let her hands over my body, touching my parts, to affect my mind.

"Such a cold hearted king… I don't like how you are mistreating me," she said in such a complaining tone, yet she never broke my body free from her clutches.

"You have to get this clear in your mind," I glared at her sweet looking eyes, shoving away all the enchantment coming from hers, "if you dared to do a single mistake, your fate won't be like this couple. Got me?"

"Damn fierce," she gazed up at me for a long minute before breaking into such sweet laughter, "I like harsh men, do you know that?"

"I'm not joking."

"Yes, sir!" she broke away at last, gave me such a military salute, and acted in such a childish and funny way.

But even with all her attempts, not a single time a smile escaped my tightly shut lips.

"Pretty mean," she kept trying, and I didn't do anything except for turning my back to her. "You are acting wary of me, right?"

As a little girl that solved a little quiz, she jumped again and chuckled, "but you don't need to. I'm Hilary, the same old beloving wife of yours."

"We never got married."

"But in my eyes you are always my man, the one who inherited my powers and kept showing me ways I never imagined to exist."

Yes, these were the words of my Hilary, but this wasn't my Hilary. I had to keep reminding myself of this fact. She was… A mixture between humans and demons, with whatever demons even mean.

"Sigh, it seems you are more stubborn than I took you for," she placed both hands in front of her, and kept twisting her body right and left, "anyway, that means you won't let me off this easily, this soon, right?"

Even when she acted in such a childish way, her eyes gave me a tempting feeling again.

"Are demons all like you?" and I couldn't help but heave a long tired sigh.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean… Like this…" I pointed at her entire body and attitude, referring to everything about her.

"You mean my clothes?" she pointed to herself while putting on such an innocent expression.

This little demoness… She knew what I meant and acted as if she didn't!

"I mean… Lustful as you?"

"Oh, thanks for such a compliment," and unlike what I expected, she laughed in weird joy, "this is an honour to get such words from the man I loved."

She painted a sudden kiss over my lips, hugged me deeply while screaming in joy before heading back to her dorms, "I'm going to rest… For now. You know… You are always welcomed in my room, all the time…"

And as she said her last piece, she placed her finger in her mouth, moving it over her two bulging hills at her chest, placing her finger deeply inside her clothes.

And as she did that, she made sure to sway her body a few times before descending the stairs.

"Thinking this will always work? Humph! Let's see how long this pathetic show will last," I knew she did all this just to cover up for my attempt to know more about her race.

She might have escaped from me this time. But this won't happen again. We still had lots of time together. And as she guessed it, I won't let her off here for a long time.

I did something I never did before. I opened my chariot's interface, looked for her current location, and sealed her room off.

He wouldn't be able to get out no matter how hard she tried. And this was a simple test to see if I could start cultivating later on without worrying over her actions.

She tested my resolve about going on this path. Was she sent here to stop me? Or was this just her race's nature?

I didn't believe such a race that kept toying with the entire cosmos was a lazy and lustful race only.

They… must be a terrifying race. And I got to raise my guard all the time when she was around.

Chapter 919 Getting The Alien Races To Their New Homes

I got it now. I just got myself another source of headache.

As if I didn't have enough already, sigh!

During the next two weeks, she stayed in her room unable to leave. I never thought about letting her out for now.

I wasn't afraid of her right now. She was right next to me. Doing anything bad would be rewarded with punishment.

I kept her locked up all this time to see how this would enrage her. I wanted to see the other side of her, even for a glimpse of moment.

Her rage would expose anything she was trying to hide. People tended to lose control over themselves when they'd get angry.

Locking someone for such a long time? That must be torturing! I didn't intend to release her for now, not until I'd go and bring the other universe's folks here.

After one month and half, and after all these ups and downs, I reached the continent I wanted.

The ocean there was wild! It kept sending huge waves, exceeding hundreds of metres, to attack shore before crushing over the barren very wide shore of black sand there.

It gave me such a feeling of awe that I kept watching this for long hours. When I went inside, I realised that this continent's outer region was over a high edge, ascending to the level of towering mountain ground.

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

That was why the ocean didn't manage to break it, or perhaps it helped in shaping it in this way.

When I looked at it from such a high altitude, I couldn't help but smile. The place in the centre of this continent was a heaven on earth.

It was a wide, seemingly boundless stretch of green plains. They were at a very high level, enough to have clouds passing just metres above the ground.

Even a few clouds kept shattering at the ground, releasing thin wisps of grey and white fog, giving the ground a magical touch it didn't need.

Just going to the edge and watching the far away shore down below and the raging ocean was a sight to behold.

I liked it here. I liked the general atmosphere, the fact that this place was secluded and hard to reach, plus the cloud touch.

Above the layer of cloud barely touching the ground, there was another one. And this one was far, far away, thick and filled with dense clouds.

It could rain at any moment, and it gave me the impression it would soak the entire world here if it did.

On another note, I found a fascinating river that ended up at the edge, falling from such height, and ended up creating a great rainbow and a massive and violent waterfall that I loved.

It ended up at the ocean, releasing dense layers of white fog, making me want to go down there and see what it was like down there.

But I wasted enough time coming here. So the fun time was over and I had to return to work.

I saved a place in the deep parts of this heaven before opening a portal and appearing back at last in front of the dome.

It seemed like a long dream, since I first came here and discovered this hideous place till now.

I watched the races who remained here in the north. They belonged to the other universe. I held my horn and started speaking:

"Listen up, this is your lord speaking," I started by saying this, paused for a couple of minutes while moving my chariot high in the air, enough for most if not all of them to see me.

"I found a place for you to stay at. It's beautiful, safe, and secluded. I hope you can use it to build a new home for yourself, and enjoy a life of peace and prosperity."

I then opened lots of portals, made sure to arrange them in ten groups, each having hundreds of them.

"Just pass through these gates and you'll reach your new home. I will come later to visit, yet this visit might take long months, even years before I could meet you again."

I got lots to do back on Earth. First I had to train and cultivate. Then I'd go back to Earth and start the fifth quest. After that I'd go to the golden quest.

I truly didn't know for how long the golden quest would take, but the fifth quest would take months to end. In addition to that, I got lots of worlds to start my work at.

And these… Sigh! I knew it wasn't going to be an easy task. I knew Toranks promised me support, tons of soldiers and gears, equipment enough to take down those Hescos, but it wasn't enough.

After all… I wasn't going to fight Hescos or other races only. We were going to fight the fifth quest at the other worlds as well.

I was already worried about this quest on my Earth. Imagine having nineteen more quests to deal with.

Even with all my preparations and forces, I got little hope at coming out from this unscathed.

The only way to do it was to test that idea I got from the zombie leader. Hopefully he wasn't lying, hopefully the system and those behind curtains didn't change much in the old ritual.

Or else… Things would develop quite bad and turn to be quite nasty for me, for my people, for everyone.

I waited for a few hours, watching the different races travel across my portals before I used the staff and went towards the military camps at last.

I got done with relocating all the people I got recently. And now I had to get to see the fighting grounds, check on the living people there, and see how the new races of my universe were doing.

When I got there, I found another outbreak of monsters. Sigh! Even with the new weapons, the losses and the scale of fight was something uncontrollable.

Chapter 920 I've Changed!

And that had a good reason for it. When I moved around the shore, I found that monsters kept coming from the ocean, stretching this battlefield to reach long distances, far beyond where my forces arranged their defences.

That left my forces stretched thin, fighting a battle that they lost the home advantage at.

Sigh! These monsters… They would make me turn the entire shore of the continent into a giant fortress, filled with mighty towers and grand walls.

Well… I didn't dislike such a situation. When I got to think about the grand picture, putting in mind the dense battles I was going to have at many new places, I had to nod and accept such an unfavourable situation.

My forces… They need to get trained over this situation a lot as they are going to face it in many worlds. And I wasn't going to be there to help, neither most of my capable leaders and generals, nor all the defences and weapons here.

I got to see what Legend first saw, then my Lily. They were right, and I was wrong.

When training beasts, one had to not care about safety. In fact, safety shouldn't come in the list of tasks one should do to make these beasts fiercer and bloodier.

Without mighty beasts, how could one secure his homeland in times of turmoil?

So I kept watching, not even thinking about summoning any of my warriors to help. I watched them struggle, get wounded, and even got eaten by these monsters.

I felt pain indeed, but started to learn how to harden my heart. If I was going to spread peace over my Earth, over many other worlds, then I should pass through hell before doing that.

I watched, and kept teaching myself to keep looking. To be honest, I reached a point that I was this close from moving out, joining this battle with all my might.

But at the last moment I received a message from Ludak , one that made me realise what a high goal I had to achieve.

[A good lord is the one who deals with himself in strict way, much more stricter than he deals with his followers]

His sudden message came as inspirational guidance, one that I truly needed at this moment.

I didn't know that he was watching, if anyone else from Toranks race were watching.

"Thanks," I said while returning to exert full control on myself.

He was right. It wasn't that simple or easy to be a lord.

I always looked at the magnificent outer image of lords and kings. They lived in fancy mansions, and had all the power and wealth in the world.

But I never asked myself this… What did each of them have to go through to reach there? What did each one of them have to pay to keep this?

What did they lose in return for such might and wealth? Right now I got a glimpse of how bitter a life of a good lord was.

I sucked in a deep breath, filled with the scent of blood, the screams of my dying soldiers, and the struggle they put before getting killed at the end, or killing their foes.

And with this breath, I felt like something changed at last in my soul.

It seemed like… I matured a little right now.

I kept watching, not feeling the same pain or guilt like before.

This fight kept raging on for five full days. I didn't take part in the fight even once.

I watched Lily coming with a grand legion of chariots towards me. She might be mad, or might thank me, who knew?

"Lord…" and when she boarded my chariot with everyone else, this was the first word she said while greeting me.

She rarely used such words with me, and that made me look at her in wonder.

"I got to see you didn't join in," she whispered, "besides… There are many new faces here."

I realised that she read through my mind. It seemed she got a really nice training to become a paragon before by her family.

Good family indeed. At least they didn't raise her up to be a wife to someone, just like what Isac experienced for example.

I watched the faces of the new generals I got from the ten races. They were looking in such a pathetic state, giving me the impression they participated themselves in the fights so far.

Yet from the burning gazes at their eyes, I could feel their joy and content with this. They did enjoy that new life I chose for them, a life they should have lived a long time ago.

It happened the same way I expected. They got it running in their genes. A tiger would recall its fierceness even if it was raised all its life in a cage.

"I see you were all quite busy during the period I didn't see you through," I said while examining the bunch of strong and fierce looking one hundred generals here.

They might not seem that much, but each one was enough to lead an army, even armies if needed.

As for their leaders… If their generals were giving me such a vibe, then I could only imagine how capable they were.

"Thanks for the lord's generosity," one of them spoke, one that belonged to the soulers.

"You don't need to thank me, you are warriors and you shall live your lives in the battlefields, not at homes."

"No lord, I didn't mean this… I meant what you did to my people… I heard it all from Lucias."

"Oh…" I got what he was referring to. He was speaking about my care and interest with his race, or what remained from.

"Lucias said lots of things about you, lord. How you kept paying hefty prices to bring more of our race, how you helped us train and survive, feed on the souls of our enemies instead of animals and allies. Thanks lord, my entire people are indebted to you forever."

Chapter 921 The Generals Title Ceremony

He lowered his head, then knelt and hit his head on the ground of my chariot for a long time without any intention of getting up.

"Lord… This is our sacred salute to our race," and just as I felt puzzled, Lucias appeared at last by my side and said these words.

"And?" If this was a sacred way of his race, then there must be a formal way to accept this salute.

"Lord has to honour us with your blood," the one who knelt said before Lucias would say it.

And when I looked at Lucias, he nodded to confirm this.

"I'm the one honoured by your services," I used one of the many swords I had and cut a wound, a deep one over my right hand before placing it over his head.

"Rise," I liked this ritual. It gave me such an impression of majesty.

"All of you will follow his suit," I turned to all, before adding, "you are all going to be titled my valliant generals from this moment on."

It just hit me and I decided to follow this sacred ritual from the soulers as a formal way to accept generals and leaders at my kingdom.

"Thanks lord," from the side, Lucias said while I felt his fire going turbulent, "this is a great honour for my race."

"Thanks lord," the few soulers said in unison, while they stepped forward first to get such honour.

Lily gave me a side glance filled with many questions. But I didn't need to explain anything I was doing to anyone.

I like this ritual, and that was the end of the story. That was one of the privileges of me being a lord and king, right?

It took no more than one hour to get them all titled and stained with my blood.

"Now, let me know the updates of your forces," as I finished giving them titles, I started to listen to what they had to say.

They mostly mentioned the same things. They arranged themselves into layers per my previous idea. Lily assessed them and let the easy ones handle the new batches while the hardest would deal with the oldest ones.

They left the islands for the new forces, while the open shores at the ocean side were handled by the oldest forces.

I liked that arrangement. Fighting monsters at open grounds was a hard task indeed. And that was left for the oldest and most experienced forces here.

Yet their numbers kept decreasing per each monster attack. And so these generals leading these fierce forces asked for reinforcement from the fresh ones.

Waiting for soldiers to ascend up the ladder and get stronger was something that needed time.

"Let the next few days reinforcements be distributed over them," I decided, "it's good to have fresh blood supporting these old folks. As for the old soldiers, upgrade them all to one hundred men commanders."

I added the last part when Lily gave me a warning gaze. I knew that the ways of teaching for these generals were fierce. Not to mention I witnessed how hard the monster outbreaks at these open shores were.

But who said the old soldiers should be treated as the fresh ones? They got enough experience and capital to let me upgrade them to be one hundred men commanders.

Like this, their losses would be decreased a lot. In addition to that, they deserved to lead men in fight, and they got to train on working in a big army.

"Thanks lord," the fierce generals led by that zombie leader, Loran. He was in this bunch of fierce generals, and he looked much fiercer than before.

He got a thick fog of blood around him, making me wonder if he went there and ate the monster himself or what!

"Go back now," as I finished meeting with them, I waved my hand for all to leave. "You and you, stay behind," but I selected Lily and Loran to stay back.

I needed to ask Loran about his race's update. Also I had to tell him about the expansion of my area of activity.

As for Lily, I got to ask her about something, or someone who was missing in this meeting.

"Lord," Loran seemed to guess what I wanted him for. As everyone returned to their chariots and left, he added:

"My people are ready. We tasted the blood of monsters. And those big ones taste delicious."

"I'm glad you are enjoying this," I laughed and he laughed as well. And with this, the tension in the air was broken.

"We got to train lots of my race. Tasting blood seemed to stir up something deep inside us, turning many into vicious beasts, hahaha!"

"That's great," I only smiled, "as we are going to expand our area of activity at the next quest."

"What does lord mean by that?" Loran was smart enough to read behind my words, "how vast are we talking about here?"

"Nineteen more worlds."

"This…"

Even Lily from the side got instant scare when she heard that.

"Lord…" she wanted to pull my arm but stole a gaze at Loran and didn't, "we don't have enough forces for that."

"We will," I knew there was almost one month left for the fifth quest, "you gotta train them harder and fiercer. This is the only way to do it."

"But…"

"We have to do it, ok?" I gave her a warning gaze. After all this wasn't an option I decided out of whim.

"May I know the reasons behind it, lord?" Loran asked, and he acted in respect and didn't show any sign of taking my words lightly.

"You do know that our universe changed after you all… Left, right?" I paused as reminding them of being trapped inside that pocket world wasn't a nice thing to mention indeed.

As he slowly nodded with a slight change in his face, I added, "in our universe, there are three races who are ahead of everyone else. We got Hectors, Toranks, and Hescos."

Chapter 922 We Got Nineteen More Worlds To Fight At!

"This… These three aren't the strongest at all!" Loran shared my old theory about the reason behind targeting the fierce ten races before by those behind the shadows.

"My race is superior to all races in the universe right now!" and Lily didn't like the obvious remark of Loran.

And so I had to step in.

"Considering the ten races that went extinct, the ten we got here, then yes… They are much better and far superior to any of the three races."

"But…"

"That's why they were targeted first by our enemies, removed from the chess board of our universe," I kept speaking, ignoring her useless argument.

Just a single fight between her fiercest race fighter and any of the ten mediocre ones would prove my point without doubt.

She was just feeling little pride in her race's current rank. Not to mention, their race ranked third in that list as there was no other better option.

"Lord… Has a point," Loran said in a way that made me feel he was feeling more bitter than pride.

"And one of those races is in my world, Earth," I pointed at Lily before adding, "and another is a friend of mine. That leaves one…"

"Hescos?" Lily suddenly asked, "Is that the one famed for going for many worlds at a single apocalypse trial to secure more worlds and rule over the apocalypse?"

"It is," I firmly nodded.

Incredible, the TV Box Everyone Is Talking About: Access All Channels?Smart TV

"Ah, I got it… We are going to target them then?" she got what I wanted to do, but it seemed Loran didn't.

So I had to explain all about my plan, my enemies plan, and how if I waited at my Earth I'd end up at a major disadvantage in the end.

"I see…" Loran finally got the entire picture, "lord is right. Sitting tight and waiting for such an inevitable fate isn't wise. I got what lord is trying to do here. And I have nothing to argue against."

"Great," I patted his arm, as this was the highest place I could reach, "make sure to train many of your people. Teach them how to wake up those in deep slumber, ok?"

"I got it."

"What does that mean?" But Lily saw a lot of information here. I waved for Loran to leave after I warned him about my first trial attempt first to see if his way was going to work or not.

Then I started to fill Lily in. I told her all what she missed, making her eyes go wider the more I spoke.

"Are you saying that… These nasty zombies are a race?!!" and she was shocked, not lesser than what I was when I got to hear about this for the first time.

"Not a race, but slaves who worked for a race," I motioned towards the place where Loran was standing at before, "just like our Loran here. Their race was the one to create and keep those under leash."

"But… Why would the higher ups do such a thing? Releasing such plaques all over the world here isn't a good thing… Right?"

She shared my vision about this mess. To be honest, I believed the ones who did this were those agents for our big enemy.

"Let's not talk about things we don't know anything about," I tried to sound sceptical about it, yet I didn't get a single clue as well, "we have to get ready for long and big battles at those nineteen worlds."

"A single world… We did a lot to just secure one world. And now we have nineteen more…"

I got what she was thinking about. And I couldn't say I didn't understand her point and doubts.

But this had to be done. I was forced to do it here.

I could wait for the fifth quest to be over. However after that quest, forces in each world would be determined for good.

At the fourth quest, all paragons regained most of their sealed powers. And that meant my enemies were going to be much fiercer than ever.

Trying to fight them like before wouldn't work. Giving them time to control their regions wasn't wise.

I had to strike them when they were at their weakest point. The fifth quest was a nightmare to all of us, and it came just at such a time when all forces weren't yet ready to welcome a new player.

So after considering all the odds, I decided to go for it. Not to mention, I'd get lots of support from Toranks. And I was really getting lots of support already.

It was up to me and my forces here to make the difference. I thought about going to these worlds myself, but that fifth quest was something that was a headache to me on Earth.

Not to mention the golden quest as well. I didn't know when this one would start, or how long I'd stay there.

Besides… I might need lots of my forces to secure this golden quest.

In brief, it was a grand challenge for my kingdom and armies. Either we would do a great job everywhere, or we would end up losing at all fronts.

If not for the dead end, if I waited for the Hescos scheme to come to fruit, then I'd not rather take such a risk at all.

Or at least I should consider expanding slowly to other worlds.

"We got a lot of time to prepare luckily," I waved towards this world and she got what I meant.

"How long?"

"A month at Earth," I paused for a moment, "and that meant twenty months here."

"That's indeed a lot of time… But staying here limits the efficiency of training."

"They are just hanging by a threat."

"That's in times of great monster outbreaks. And most generals and leaders aren't fighting during the last couple of outbreaks."

I got what others got what I realised late. "So…" I looked at her in questions and she added:

"We need to repeat this place at two other places at least," she thought for a second, "we need two more continents. We got this one opposite to us so it doesn't count."

Chapter 923 The Grand Mine!

"I can get you more continents," there was still the one with all the ores there, "but there won't be the same traits or islands like here."

"I got it, we can send those who are already trained to these," she paused, "we can use them like you just did. Make them lead fresh troops and work as a grand army instead of just killing beasts solo."

"This…"

"Don't worry, even a fresh man staying here for a couple of days will turn into a veteran," she laughed, "but we have a single problem to solve."

"How do you move them? That's a piece of cake for me."

"No, I meant the monsters," she shook her head, "we scattered monsters here. And as you just said, we are going to fight Hescos so…"

"We need ground dens, right? We got a few but…"

"High grades will be risky, besides we need aerial monsters as well."

"Aren't Hescos experienced at ground fights?"

"Their mechanics… They can fly," she sighed, and I got an instant scare.

"Don't tell me all of them…" I paused as she nodded.

"They can fly, can fight in the water, and can fight in any terrain. They use deadly mass destruction weapons, lots of big guns that could be installed over their suits, and above all they had the ability to freely move away from any trap or danger."

"This…" in my eyes, it was a versatile race. Mechanics… How fierce would they be?

"We need our boys to learn how to fight on all terrains, and we need to supply them with big cannons."

"Hmm… I was away for long enough," I thought about something when she said that. It seemed I had to go back to Earth before starting my long cultivation session.

Hescos used mechas, and I'd use my own race weapons to respond to that. Let me see which one was stronger, theirs or my modified mine.

I left those scientists for a long time at the capital. It was time for them to bring me results.

I looked around and a thought flashed in my mind. I kept focusing here over training my forces, but neglected this important project.

They should all come here. Hopefully their tools and equipment could be moved here as well.

"By the way," as we got done from talking about business, I had to ask, "where is Angelica?"

"Oh, about that…" and just as I asked, a wide grin appeared on Lily's face, "when you left us, we scanned the entire grand mine region. We decided to call the grand mine by the way."

"Go on," it was a useless remark. Don't tell me she was happy because they gave it a name!

"After we got everything mapped, and it's a damn huge place by the way, Angelica got this crazy thought."

"What?" my patience was growing thin here. I like her excitement, but I had to understand the reason behind it first.

"She thought if the mountainous area is filled with such densely packed gems and precious ores, then what about the stretch of land around it?"

"This…" I suddenly got inspired by what she said, "and?" I grew excited, the same as her.

"We dug at a far distance, almost twenty miles away. And guess what? After digging a hole for fifty metres, we found a thick vein underground! And that's not the only case! We found lots there, and that means…"

"We got a huge reassuring trove, hahaha!" I was damn excited about this, "and she stayed back to manage it?" I got why she was missing.

"Oh, about that…" she suddenly paused as if she recalled something she forgot amidst her excitement, "we didn't have any way to move people there. So I had to leave back through the portal you left behind, and send lots of people there to help, before the portal got closed."

"Damn! Why didn't you text me about it?" I shouted before controlling myself. Who said rage was the only case which would make people lower their guards and act on their true selves? Excitement was also another deadly thing.

"Alright, let me ask her then," I calmed myself down. Even if Lily forgot, why didn't Angelica message me?

I got that this girl loved all precious things, but did she possibly think by staying there alone she would gain everything?

[I'll send people over, how much do you need?]

[Hye… It's huge! Damn huge! I've dug at a circle of two hundred miles radius and guess what? There are still thick veins running under the surface! Damn! This isn't a mine, not a grand mine, this is an entire continent filled with ores and gems!]

This… Wow! It was much better than I initially thought. An entire continent filled with ores and gems? Damn! This… This was big.

[Also I got to test a few. Not all just used for show. There are many who had high concentration of energy, even few who exploded in such fierce way, endangering me and my people]

[Oh, these seem cool. Mark them down and start taking them off first. I'll open many portals as the spot I left you at]

[No wait, working in the mountains is hard and tiring. It needs lots of preparations first. Why not come at me first?]

[This… But I didn't know where you were!]

[Just head south east from the place we departed at] she took a few minutes to send me this.

[Ok, I'm on my way then] I had to leave right away. This wasn't just something that would bring wealth to me, it was something that could be used in the upcoming wars.

Ores that could explode? If they were treated in a special way, then it would be possible to start making deadly grenades, right?

"I'm going back then," Lily waved her hand while laughing, "say hi for me to Angelica. Ah, say hi as well to Hilary, she is alright, right?"

"She is," I recalled the locked girl in my room down below and couldn't help but grin.

Chapter 924 A Terrifying Explosion!

It was better to let her rot in there for as long a time as possible. The angrier she became the better.

And then I used the staff, jumped over to the big mines before starting flying south east.

[For how long?]

[At least two hundred miles, or perhaps three? I don't know. I just started calculating the distance after getting out from the mountainous region]

[Got it]

At least there was a mark for me to assess my direction and distance.

However, crossing that rough mountainous terrain took almost two days. And I was using my chariot's top speed here.

The more I flew past the mountain tops, the more I believed Angelica's words. Her earlier assessment about the unsuitability of this terrain for my people was correct.

As I crossed the mountainous region, I knew I had at most ten hours to arrive at her location.

During this time, she kept moving outwards and spreading out her limited people to look for more ore veins.

As I flew past the open fields here filled with tall and thick trees, I could see many scattered emptied spots, where she and her people dug the ground.

I could see sparkling dots down below from my high away position. I wanted to get down there and inspect what they unearthed, but thought to wait until I'd find Angelica first.

As I expected, in eight hours I saw a bunch of people removing dirt in the middle of trees. They were a group of thousands, and they worked over a wide area, digging at five spots.

[I'm here]

30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom

[I saw you]

As I received her message, I didn't even wait for her to arrive and opened a portal. "Let's go," I passed through it while hearing her complaining words from behind.

"Quite impatient you are!"

Of course I was. I spent two days looking for her. And I still had to go back to Earth and spend at least one day there arranging things.

So I had to get this done fast.

Once we arrived at the other end, she looked at me in a blaming way. Well, one of the reasons that made me hurry back here was to avoid being alone with her.

Consider me scared of getting into a new relationship at this moment. Consider me fearing for her and other girls being around me, fearing for them to get cursed.

"Sigh! Why are you in such a hurry?" she didn't give me any way out as she jumped over my chariot and called hers back. Like this I had to take her around with me until we'd go back.

"I have little time left," I shrugged.

"Really?" she crossed her arms in front of her bulging chest, making me inwardly sigh.

She was a beauty indeed. And she kept chasing after me after getting done from Alex.

"Here," and just as I went towards one of the paths in between mountains to find one of her men, she extended her hand and dropped lots of different shapes, sized, and coloured ores.

"These are the ones we excavated and got an immense amount of energy," she said, "be careful, they can explode if they get in touch with any energy of any sort."

"I see," I grabbed one of them. It was dark purple in colour. The moment I touched it, I felt a stir inside my dantian.

What? Could my dantian absorb the energy inside these ores? Or was it just a response to the huge amount of energy there?

"Go and arrange things," I waved to her to leave, "then come back to find me. I'm going to remain here and wait for your return."

"Oh, so anxious to see me leaving then… What? Don't you like me?" she swayed her body as she said these words. I gulped and shifted my eyes off her exposed parts as I said:

"I told you already, I have little time."

"I'm sure we will have a time when the two of us will only be together," she said before leaving. And when she did, I sighed in relief.

Damn! Why couldn't she get it? I was afraid of hurting other girls, why wouldn't she understand?

As she went away, I knew she'd take a long time before coming back. "Time to test these ores then," I moved my chariot towards a deep part of the mountain tops.

There I could test anything without endangering any people around.

It took me roughly half an hour to get to a safe place. I got that purple ore out and examined it closely.

It was a big piece of ore, at the size of my head. It has such a rough surface, with sharp edges that could cause anyone any wound.

"She said it will explode once it gets in touch with any energy… Interesting," I didn't feel any energy coming from this ore, but my dantian did.

If it got my dantian to stir up then it meant I could use my spiritual energy.

"Go," I formed my first technique with my left hand then threw out this ore far away with all my might.

As I watched it fly for thousands of metres away, I released my threads to catch it.

Then something I never imagined happened!

*Boom!*

At first there was silence coupled with a bright mushroom shaped explosion. It gave me the impression of a star exploding, and the light expanded fast till it enveloped my chariot in such a sudden move.

Then a mighty explosive sound came, and with it I saw the shield of my chariot getting deep and long cracks.

My chariot was thrown in the air like a broken kite! It landed a few miles behind, crushing the ground, while I was totally shocked.

What the heck… Was that?!!! She said that the explosion was fierce, but she never said it was so deadly!

It settled in just a few minutes after it exploded. And when I rose up with my chariot, I saw a very scary scene.

Mountains… Mountains were cleared all around me! The explosion expanded far beyond my eyes.

Chapter 925 What Happened?!!

And everywhere… A deep hole appeared in the place where towering mountains were there minutes ago.

Damn! Was this the effect of a single piece of this ore? Damn you Angelica! You should have warned me before about how deadly this was.

[Hye! Hye! What the heck happened?!!! A mighty explosion just occured and reached a few towns and cities!]

Damn! It even reached this far? I flew for half an hour, meaning I crossed over fifty miles at least.

[Any dead?]

[Lots! But that's not the issue. What the heck happened?]

[Are we under attack?]

And just as I read Angelica's distressful message, Lily sent as well.

[It's fine, I was just testing something]

[Testing? Dammit! You scared all of us! What the heck was that? A new weapon?]

[You can say so. Just reassure everyone and return to your training]

[Training? You scared the sh*t out of these monsters. They are all back into the ocean!]

Wow! Even monsters get scared from this?

[What happened?] and just as I was amazed with what Lily sent, Angelica sent again.

[Why didn't you tell me that these ores are this deadly? I just tried one out and that was what happened!]

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

[What? How?!! No way! Which ore did you use?]

[The dark purple one]

[It's one of the most explosive ones. But… Hye, the last time we tried, it only detonated at a circle of one hundred metres! This one… Damn! It went beyond my ability to guess its scale!!]

This… What the heck just happened here then?

[For real? Don't bluff me!]

[I'm not! The fiercest is that black one, and it exploded in a two hundred metre circle!]

This… [Tell me, what did you use to detonate it?] I had to ask. After all, something must have changed the fierceness of this ore, turning it from a small scale grenade into such a weapon of mass destruction.

[We used our skills. What else can we use, genius!]

[I see…] I didn't get it actually, [So you didn't use anything else? Was it that big?]

[No, we got almost the same size from that vein as I recall]

[Ok, keep working then and let me think about it]

I closed the chat while looking in a daze all around. This terrain got changed beyond recognition anymore.

What the heck just happened here? Why did that ore turn so fierce and explode with such might?

And in less than half an hour, and after checking the core of that explosion, I couldn't help but inwardly sigh.

"Pretty damn fierce! I never expected my spiritual energy to be this fierce!"

As I reached that core, I found something new. It was a grand gathering of thick and dark blue threads, enveloping over each other, moving around as if they were serpents.

These were my threads, and I just recalled I used ten threads to touch that ore before everything happened.

The only explanation was there in front of my eyes; my threads did this! And from the giant size of this ball, stretching over five hundred metres in diameter, I knew it wasn't just about my threads stirring up the energy inside the purple ore.

"It must have absorbed part of my power," this was the only reason, "was it trying to mimic my technique? Or did it augment it and copy its effects?"

The truth was lying there in front of my eyes, but I couldn't explain it… Yet.

"Go…" And as my threads were there forming a big ball, I moved my own towards it.

The moment my threads came closer, it seemed like it stirred a hornet nest!

All of sudden the ball broke into a massive number of threads. They all moved and attacked my own, acting like wolves protecting their den or something.

At first I thought about sending more threads to control these. I also considered retreating behind for enough distance to be safer.

But I frowned when I saw what was going on here.

These threads in front of me devoured my thin ones and they started replacing it! I watched in amazement this phenomenon unfolding in front of me.

This didn't take longer than five minutes. At the end, many of my thin threads got replaced with much thicker ones.

"Let me try it out then," I cancelled my technique and then reformed it. I wanted to see if this change was something temporary or permanent.

And when my technique appeared again, I got my answer; it was permanent!

Damn! So this ore didn't just explode, it absorbed my technique threads, evolved them, and returned them to me for use.

What kind of magic was that?!!

Just from this, the value of this purple ore skyrocketed!

"Wait a sec… She mentioned something about the black ore…" I paused when I realised there was a much fiercer one.

I grew itchy… I wanted to use it!

I got now how these ores work, or the purple one at least. It got energy from my technique, augmented it while releasing a fierce explosive power in return.

This power came from the grade of energy and technique used. Angelica used her own weak power to activate a skill. So the explosion turned out to be in such a weak state.

But mine? It was a fierce technique formed by my blue spiritual energy. It was much fiercer, and it was much higher in grade than any skill Angelica used.

At the same time, part of the explosion came from the process of augmenting my technique. This made it much fiercer than trying to augment a skill.

I got it now. And I got that if I used a higher technique, like the merged technique for example, this explosion might encompass half of the entire continent!

Damn! I went to check my chariot. "Taking one half of the entire energy reserve? Damn fierce!" it just happened for a few minutes, yet it brought damage that could take days or even weeks of constantly attacking my chariot.

Chapter 926 Twin Discs

It was a fierce weapon, one that I decided to use in what yet to come.

But it got its drawbacks as well. First it was attacking me as it was attacking everyone else.

It didn't differentiate between anyone. And I couldn't control the scope of its explosion.

So when used, I had to make sure there was no one around for tens, or even hundreds of miles.

Or I had to limit using it when the situation became dire, and I was going to lose my forces in any way.

Another drawback was its need for someone like me to bring such results. In my entire kingdom, I doubted anyone could do the same devastational explosion, or even close to one tenth of it!

They all depended on the system and skills. So they'd end up causing the same limited explosion like what Angelica and her men produced.

Should I use it as grenades? I looked at this grand devastation around, and then towards the thick threads of my technique… No, this would be a total waste without doubt!

These ores… They were weapons of mass destruction in my hands. In others, they would grow cute and be like little puppies.

But thinking about taking them all into my possession and not letting others use them wasn't right.

"I have to see what they can do then," my thoughts shifted towards that long term project I started at MIT campus. Hopefully those folks out there could have an answer for this.

If they could find a way to store my power inside something and use it when needed, then it would be great!

Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com

Should I test another ore again? I hesitated. From the current devastation, It was possible the next explosion would be mightier and cause more damage.

It was better not to test it here. I should go towards another place, where no one was there, and test these ores as much as I'd loved to.

Thinking about this highlighted an issue.

I planned to bring all the development teams here to work on their projects. If they were going to test such fierce ores and things here, then it wasn't suitable to let them do it in this continent, or the one next to it.

These two were already going to be occupied with my troops and people.

I had to select another continent, far from here, and let them live there and do whatever they wanted.

Lily also asked for possession of two more continents. And that was something that turned the vast world into such a tight place.

One continent had the alien universe races, another got a grand mine treasure trove, four were going to be occupied by my people and troops, and the one was for my research and development team.

Sigh! That was seven continents! The world got over fifteen, but I just occupied almost half in a short time.

Not to mention I got to travel towards three new continents and lead people there.

At this moment, I regretted not having a treasure that'd allow me to jump to wherever I wanted. If I got one, I could have saved tons of time!

I opened the market and checked the added gears there. After each quest, more gears would be added.

But I didn't find what I wanted. All the best gears did the same like my staff. They all required me to visit the places as the main condition for it.

"Oh… This might be useful…" yet before I was going to close the interface, I found something interesting there.

I bought one and started to examine it.

[Twin discs: Rare item. It's formed of two identical discs. Place each at two places you desire, and a permanent portal will be opened there linking the two places together. Consumables. Price: ten million coins]

Well… It was a bit pricey for such a small portal opening. Yet it was useful.

Like this, my people didn't need me to be present all the time to move in between places here.

I got the grand ore mine, the training zones of the four continents, and then the research department continent.

As Angelica had to spend more time here, I decided to start working on linking this place with the big mine continent for now.

I bought a hundred pieces of these twin discs, then jumped over to the continent and started placing twenty discs there.

I scattered them around then returned back to the place void of any mountains. From the words of Angelica, this devastation reached one of the paths close to here.

So I placed the other twenty discs here. The moment the first disc was placed on the ground, a stir of a grand tornado of energy was formed.

"Wow! It's so damn huge!" I thought the portals formed would be small. That was why I used twenty at one go.

But as the first portal appeared, I realised it could accommodate tens of thousands of people at one time.

That meant I didn't need all of these discs here. I just placed five and then returned back and collected the remaining fifteen discs.

I still have many places to use these discs at.

I then went to the nearby continent and started linking the two continents together. Like this, my people could go in between the two continents without much trouble.

I used five portals and let Lily know about these. She got excited by this.

As for Angelica, she said she would transfer people through my portals. So my presence here wasn't needed.

[Make sure to store up these explosive ores separately and with extreme care] I knew I didn't need to warn her but I had to do so to feel more reassured.

[Are you going away?] she sent and I got that she wanted to stay with me for a longer time.

[I have to roam this world for a long time] I sent but this wasn't the first thing I placed in the top of my to do list.

Chapter 927 The War Returned

I had to go back to Earth first. The fourth quest was over right there. And I had to check on many things, including the MIT team.

So I opened a portal and headed back to Earth.

I appeared just near the capital. I left here when Isac was handling the task of rebuilding the entire space of my kingdom.

As I appeared here, all I found was more people and nothing much. It seemed the armies returned partially back from the Hector continent.

Seeing this made me recall my promise, the one I made to Isac and couldn't fulfil yet.

"Damn! She is going to kill me!" I instantly went back to my second Earth, sent an urgent message for Angelica, asking for many people to be moved towards Earth.

[No problem, we got too much anyway here] she wasn't exaggerating. We got tons of people during the year and half I stayed at that pocket world.

Time might get affected in worlds and places I visited, but it was always going on based on my presence. That meant all the time I spent at the pocket world passed also everywhere else.

[I'll open portals at each path at this side] I decided to go all out, [Let your men brief people about what they are going to do]

[Come on! Give me a few hours to notify and arrange things first!]

[how much?]

[At least half a day]

I paused before realising something. I was going to move them towards my capital. And that wasn't the right place for them to be.

Who knew where Isac and her men went during all this time. It was better to travel to the furthest places Isac went and open portals there.

[You got it. I will come back in twenty hours] I sent before returning back to Earth. [Where are you now?]

[You? Great! You got the balls to come and ask after all these days of leaving me alone here!]

She was mad! And that was quite expected.

[Things got out of control… For you it was few days, for me it was over than a year]

[Empty excuses won't help you! Where are my damn men? I need damn armies of workers to get things done! We are too far behind the schedule!!!]

Yes, she was mad. [I'm speaking with you now to ask you about this. Where are you now?]

[Not that much, lazy lord! We are still in New York state!]

Oh… They went a good distance ahead considering the few people they got.

[Cool! I'm coming over right now and will bring the armies you want]

[Better you follow your words with actions this time. I'm fed up with your empty promises! If you didn't…]

[I'm going to deliver this time, I promise] I hurriedly sent before closing the chat with her.

One hour here was equal to twenty back there. That meant by the time I'd arrive at New York, Angelica would have enough time to prepare people to come here and help.

As I started moving, I sent a message for the three I didn't hear from for so long; the jumper, Fang, and Wryly.

[At last! Where did you go? Leaving us to clean the dirt behind you and rest isn't a good thing y'know!]

And as usual, that jumper dude was still having his tongue sharpened even after all these days.

[So you got things done?]

[Indeed! What do you expect, genius? These people lost their armies and king, their leaders and generals. They surrendered mostly, with few only trying few useless attempts to resist]

[Cool!]

[What were you doing then? Don't tell me you slept all this time!]

[What if I did so?] I loved teasing him, as he loved teasing me.

[Damn! I knew it! Isac was searching everywhere for you. You are such a careless and lazy lord, leaving us all here to work for you and do your dirty tasks while you keep resting and enjoying yourself back there!]

[I spoke with him and he is cool now]

[Humph! You always find a way out with lies!]

[Shut up! Where are you now?]

[Near that weird giant bubble you left behind. By the way, what is that thing?]

Bubble? It suddenly hit me. [Don't tell me you tried to enter!]

[No way! I tested it with part of my forces and they all got killed. What is that thing anyway]

[Nothing you should know about]

[Screw you! I'll get you to speak. Where are you now? I dare you to tell me!]

[I'm with… Not telling, hahaha!]

[Dammit! I'm going to find you. I bet you are racing time to make up for Isac. I'll go and meet you there then bastard]

[Keep dreaming] I closed the chat as I knew what he would send.

Lots of curses and angry shouts plus few mean words… That was his nature.

But he guessed it right, I was heading towards Isac at the moment. It seemed this girl spoke with everyone, and let them know about me failing my promise to her.

Damn girl! You should know that I was fighting a brutal war all this time! It wasn't that I didn't want to come, but I couldn't!

[Hi my bro, whassup?]

And as I closed the chat with the jumper, another message came from Wryly.

[I'm great. How are things at your end?]

[We resumed war again]

[Wow! How so? Tell me everything, hahaha!]

Before leaving, and even before fighting the Hector continent armies, Berserkers got a peace treaty I didn't like with Hectors.

That led to me facing tons of problems back then. Yet it seemed such a honey period was over right now.

[It's thanks to you actually. You managed to crush most of the Hector grand forces in this world, killing their king, enslaving his scary pet, and even finding a way to deal with the terrifying guardian beasts… Damn! You were cool! Do you know that?]

Chapter 928 My Right Handed Man!!!

Oh, so that was what happened! It seemed to me crushing Hector's news spread across the entire world and among other races.

And that made the Berserkers change their earlier decision. I got why they made it in the first place, and why they changed it right now.

They were terrified by the guardian beasts. But as I got rid of these scary little monsters, and also managed to crush most of the Hectors' elite forces alongside their mighty king; the path was wide open for them and any other race to make this world a hellish place for Hectors.

I like this situation now more than ever! This was great news. Once a race moved against Hectors, more would also jump in.

When a lion was in power, others would fear him. But if he was deeply wounded and without his claws, he would get beaten by all the forest animals.

This was the law of nature, the law of jungle, the law of the life we all were living right now.

[So you are fighting them on the northern continent? How is it?]

[Great! They got a strong hit from you, and our paragons didn't let such a chance slip by. We aim to control half of that northern continent before the start of the fifth quest. And we got help]

[From Selvators?] I could already see the futuristic big three races battle unfolding in front of my eyes.

[How did you know? Ah, that Fang must have told you]

[I guessed it]

[Anyway, they are helping but the Hectors also got a hand recently]

[Dragons?]

[Dragons, Illusionists, and Succubi. The three races came together and formed a huge coalition force, aiming towards north as well as somewhere else]

Cheap Way to Get All the TV Channels - Is It Really Working?Smart TV

[Where? West?]

[No, south! They are attacking the Selvator continent down there with the help of Hectors. I heard they brought one more continent at south]

Damn! Things were getting hotter here. [And you are going to fight down there?]

[We are pretty much focused on the north. Selvators branched part of their forces to the south. However the situation down there doesn't look that good actually]

South was just southern Texas or somewhere else? I didn't know. If it was Texas, then I should get my troops there to help.

If it was to the west, then it was alright.

I got one month before the fifth quest would start. My forces should get some training. So fighting against this coalition army wasn't a bad idea.

I learnt from what I did at the second Earth training camp. I should allow my older forces to lead fresh ones and use their experience in big fights.

Doing this would solve me a great problem, and help as well in adding more fresh blood and decrease the loss of the veterans.

[Finally you showed up!]

And just as I closed the chat with Wryly, Fang sent this message before adding, [We are in great trouble!]

[I heard]

[From that damn jerk? He asked for help and I spoke with my paragons. In the end we got ourselves in such hot spot, and getting only a we are sorry message from their damn f*cking paragons]

[Calm down and tell me where are these forces coming to your continent?]

[Our continent is just southern Texas. And we got one at our east, led by Dragons, and one at west led by Illusionists. They use the two continents as bases to come and hit our continent]

[I see… So no Hectors down there?]

[They got one continent in the far west, but it isn't a big deal. They had to travel a long distance to come to us. And it's the same for us as well]

[I see… Any big challenges on the two continents near you?]

[Not that much actually. They are just using a large number of different forces and lots of gears and big weapons to take down our continent. If we just had all of our forces here, we could have stopped them. Dragons! They think they are invincible here!]

[Don't worry about that] I decided, [I'm going to send forces to your aid]

[Please hurry then! They have already overrun half of our continent! Where are you going to expand your troops? So I can spare few forces to help and guide you here]

[Who said I'm going to hit your continent?] I smirked, [I'm going to take down the other two ones]

[This…]

[You just keep them busy, try to lure them as deeply as possible in your lands. This way, they won't be able to retreat when my forces arrive]

[Oh, I see… Nice tactic indeed. So you want us to keep them busy?]

[That's your task]

[It's not that hard actually. Retreating and conserving strength is easy. And once you come to their lands, we will show them the real might of our race]

[Good luck] I knew that Selvators was a race that could be trusted. They weren't that weak. If not for the sudden presence of Hectors, they'd be fighting for hegemony here with Dragons.

[I got a mission for you]

[Sure, keep sending me away as if I'd fall for it!]

[Just listen…] I started to brief that jerk with what I got from Wryly and Fang. once I ended, the jumper sent just one sentence back:

[I like it! Let's do it! I hate dragons anyway]

That jerk stopped nagging me and instead he was joyful about this new war. Anyway I needed to let him lead the forces out to train. [Inform others. Leave part of the armies at the Hector continent and near the capital. Got it?]

[Leave this to me. At last you recognising me and making me your right handed man]

[Screw you! Who said you are like that?]

[Hahahaha! You don't need to admit it. I got it all myself]

I closed the chat instead of cursing and starting a big fight with that jerk. Who the heck said he was my right handed man? Damn him!

Chapter 929 Fulfilling An Old Promise

That jerk was the only one able to turn me mad with just simple words of his. I took deep breaths before I finally calmed down myself.

[Help is going your way] I sent to Fang before recalling my twin discs. [Lead your forces back to the capital. I'll leave a huge ten portals there. They will lead you all the way to Texas directly]

[Wow! Nice touch!]

[Don't slack! This war is huge and I want it done before the start of the fifth quest]

[Don't worry, leave it to me. Since when have I let you down? I'm your right handed man! I'll make you proud]

[…]

I controlled myself to not find this jerk and smash his head. As I got this urgent task, I stopped, saved the bookmark, before jumping directly to Texas.

There the situation was a clear image of war camps. Long rows of forces kept marching towards the direction of the big gulf to the south.

I didn't look around for too much before finding a suitable zone to use my discs at. I installed the ten ones there and returned back to the capital and installed the other ten.

I left the gates just outside the huge walls and densely packed defensive forts at the southern parts of my capital. This was the most heavily fortified and most secure place in my entire capital.

[They are done! Just lead your forces and move them to Texas]

[I'm on my way. Others are as well. We will commence a grand meeting soon at the capital before travelling to the two continents]

[Beware, I won't be here to help. So…]

[Don't worry, I told you I got it]

[And ah… Don't forget to take good care of my armies. Don't screw them like you did with your armies]

[Damn you! I wasn't the one who did all this to my armies! I just got in bad circumstances]

[Excuses… I don't want to hear them anymore, right?]

[Yes, I'm your right handed general after all, hahaha!]

This jerk! I tried to tease him, but ended up getting teased instead. I closed the chat and sent it to Fang, telling him about my forces getting on the move.

He told me that he started working on the fake retreat plan. He also said they'll abandon Texas shores, giving the enemy the false impression that they were really at a tight spot and considering abandoning this continent for them.

He planned to gather up forces and move them to help my troops. At least he got some conscience, and decided to help in this big war.

I felt more reassured this way. Having trust in that jumper? Damn! He got every single army I gave to him destroyed!

Of course I was worried! I even thought about bringing more fresh troops to help if needed.

But if I ever did that, I'd delay much of the plans of the fifth quest.

Anyway, I returned to my journey to Isac. as I got closer, I sent her a message.

[I've seen you from far away, yet didn't see any of the people you promised]

[Do you want them here? Fine, I'll bring them all here]

[No wait! Can you just scatter them around? And before bringing them here, are they oblivious to their tasks or what?]

[Don't worry, they all know what they are going to do]

[Perfect! Let me get more dragon riders then]

[I'm going to bring them first. You handle everything else]

I opened a portal and went back to the second Earth. [Send all the people towards my chariot] I sent to Angelica once I arrived.

[Do you know how f*cking huge this place is? And we got mountains! Hye, I can't see your chariot anywhere!]

I frowned for a second before sending again, [Bring them all to the path near the place of the explosion]

[Oh, I got it. I'll send everyone now]

[Cool! I'll leave this task over for you]

I started opening tons of portals here. Unlike the portals opened by the twin discs, mine paled in terms of size.

So I had to compensate for it in numbers. As I got done, I already saw the early batches of the people coming here.

They looked so damn huge in number! I got satisfied with what Angelica did and decided to return back to my Earth again.

I got done with one planned task and one urgent one. Yet there still remained another important one; the MIT guys.

I went back to where I left to find Isac waiting for me. She stood over her chariot, crossing her arms and swaying her body just like any girl would do when getting mad.

"Man up!" I said before adding as I turned my chariot away, "they are coming. Get ready to welcome them."

And just as I was less than a mile away, I could hear a loud ruckus coming from behind. They arrived, and the many dragon rider girls started to shout and organise them to start their work.

[Thanks!] Isac sent, and I didn't care about her hidden apology.

[How is the current state of work around the kingdom?]

[As you can see, we just secured north, then marched to west. We still lack few parts at north, and we didn't touch south yet]

[This…]

[Don't worry, we will start working soon with all the workers you provided. I will make sure to finish the building projects at north, and start working at south]

[Be sure to have an army stationed at each direction]

[I already got six armies waiting to help at any given moment]

[That's cool]

I instantly used my teleportation staff and returned back to the capital.

I felt like I was racing against time whenever I came to Earth out of late. Everything had to be done yesterday!

Going to the capital after all this time made me feel like I was going home.

This time I was coming here as the overlord king. There was nothing to threaten my capital anywhere around.

Chapter 930 Meeting Unexpected Old Mates

And my capital was living in such peace and prosperity, giving me a melancholic feeling of my time when I was without a class.

I didn't miss that pathetic life, but I had to admit my capital gave me an image of the most prosperous human capital and big cities back in my time.

"Look for those folks working at MIT. tell them the king wants to see them at the central palace."

I stopped one of the dragon rider girls and gave her such an order before turning my chariot and heading towards the central big palace.

I was the king here, and I got a chance to see and enjoy my status as a king for once.

I went towards that palace and when I got near, I noticed the presence of a big shield surrounding the entire central area of the capital.

It wasn't that strong, but not that weak either. I didn't know who did it, but they did something good here.

I passed without any problems. It seemed this shield could identify people belonging to my kingdom, granting them instant access.

When I got down towards my palace, I saw large open green fields inside a big and towering wall.

There were many defences here, towers, weapons, and lots of troops stationed to defend the palace.

Was that palace very important? I didn't know that.

Yet it gave me a formidable feeling, like this belonged to one of the mightiest races in the world, not to what to be considered weak humans.

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

If such an arrangement was done just to give this feeling then I supported it. Of course such a thing would come from none but Isac.

She was trained and raised as a paragon, and that explained her knowledge about such weird things like architecture and also etiquette.

I descended and let my chariot land on the grand green garden here. Once I did, I saw lots of soldiers running fast, in such a neat organisation, giving me a good impression about them.

They weren't weak, and they must have seen lots of fights to reach such an order. Even while running, they kept their formations and lined up, making me smile while watching them coming.

"Lord! We salute our mighty lord and king!"

And just as they arrived near me, they stopped, did something like a military salute by hitting the blunt side of their swords and weapons over their chests, while shouting in such a way.

I waited until all of them arrived. In front of me, at least ten thousand troops were standing and waiting for my order.

"Who is your leader?" I moved my eyes around. Such a force must have a capable leader.

"We are, my lord," and when I saw the two who stepped forward, I couldn't help but feel bitter.

All the joy and pride from before turned into sorrow and regret.

They were the two lovers, Alex and Leo. their love ended them up falling from being two of my closest friends and being two of my mightiest and most trusted generals into such a state.

Was this bad luck? Or was this fate? Or was this just a small hiccup before they'd regain their former status?

I didn't know the answer to that, only fate would.

"How are you two doing all this time?" I overcame my inward feelings and asked the two with a wide and fake smile.

I was happy to see them, and not happy to see them here to be honest.

"We are great, lord," Alex said while Leo didn't speak. This dude had such a troublesome look over his face, making me realise he was blaming himself for what he did to himself and his girl.

Of course he was the one to be blamed. He was the man, and he should take much responsibility towards his girl.

He risked everything in such a dire situation of a risky war, making decisions against what I gave him. He didn't act smart and just followed his heart.

What a fool! In the end he let himself and his girl get demoted, and now they were working as two pathetic leaders of such a force, securing an empty place without much importance to me or my kingdom.

"Let's get inside and talk," I started to descend the stairs, giving myself time to think about these two.

And when I thought about them, I couldn't help but recall my Karoline and Hilary. One went missing and the other got possessed. I was placed in such tough situations where I chose the best for my people and kingdom.

If I was Leo, I'd leave everything behind and chase after Karoline. Or perhaps he's lead everyone to long and unmatched wars, ending up losing everything and getting nothing done at the end.

Love was good and great, I could get that. But one had to work his mind instead of his heart, especially when his decisions wouldn't just affect himself, but many people around.

Sigh!

I paused when I reached the second floor. I kept Hilary locked up for a long time already. Should I call her out? Should I release her?

For a second I was tempted to do it. But when I considered that we were on Earth, I decided not to.

I would try her out when we were away from here. Even if she did something stupid, she got nothing much to threaten my kingdom and people with.

After all, my second Earth was a calm place without many dangers and challenges there. Not like here, where my kingdom was surrounded with tons of enemies waiting for a half chance to come at me.

So I kept walking down the stairs and then the two familiar faces welcomed me down below.

"Lord, this way," Alex was acting all formal while Leo kept his silence. I walked in the centre while the two kept accompanying me.

But I didn't go towards the palace first. I went to inspect the forces here.

"Nice soldiers you got," I said in honest praise.

"Don't mock us lord, we know this is just a generous arrangement from Isac and not from you."
