Chapter 1867: The Golden Spire Race



"Well, well, look who's here," said Miranda, noticing Carl and Drake appearing. "Looks like the Bullet Demon is no longer that intimidating anymore, hm?"

Once the two reached the restaurant, which had a very vintage wooden interior decorated nicely like a home, Miranda was the first to greet them with a slightly cynical attitude. "Miranda! Don't be like that with the man, he has gone through a lot, you know?" Benladann sighed, facepalming. "Sorry about that... She's kind of dumb sometimes."

"Hey!" Miranda complained. "I was just trying to lighten the mood a little bit... Whatever."

"It's alright, I don't mind," Carl said. "My name is Carl by the way. I wanted to thank you for everything, I never thought I would regain my body... It's a lot to think about, and process."

"Do you feel better now, mister Carl?" Benladra wondered. "I did my best to heal you back. I was surprised to find your body in such a deteriorated state."

"So you must be Benladra, yes, thank you... Your healing abilities are miraculous, if not even beyond that," said Carl. "I'm truly grateful."

"No problem!" Benladra nodded, feeling accomplished.

"Um, I've already modified your armor, uncle," said Kate. "The armor is ready, should I give it back? I've analyzed its components to recreate its power though, I hope you don't mind."

"I didn't even think it was possible to modify my robotic body, so thank you," Carl said. "I don't mind, don't worry."

"So come, let's sit down and eat, there's a lot we have to talk right now," said Drake.

At the end, they ate a huge feast of alien dishes, which were both extravagant looking and rather delicious... well, not all of them, but some were fine, and others, incredibly delicious for some reason.

They talked about the race more in detail, about the participants that had arrived, about the area they were covering and more, and when it would begin.

"Uh..." Carl didn't know what to say when these two children were so happy to see something terrifying. "Anyways, the Warp Gate here... according to my research, is in an area known as the Rotation Bridge, where there's a huge bridge of floating asteroids surrounding a volcano."

"That sounds interesting," Drake nodded.

"And lastly, the final zone where the Golden Spire is located," said Carl. "The reason why the race is called like that to begin with. It's an even more dangerous zone called the Cosmic Zone, this is just an empty area near this planet full of Starlight Dust, Asteroids, Meteors, and Alien Beasts that live in outer space. Golden Spire is at the end of everything. It is said that it has the sun behind it, so you'll be able to see it from afar."

"Understood," nodded Drake. "Sounds like we're in for quite the journey... Is there a time limit to this race?"

"Probably no longer than a day," said Carl. "I would say, twelve hours, at most, to be honest. But I believe the winner will be decided in less than five hours, spaceship can move very

quickly after all."

"Hm, alright then," nodded Drake. "Gabriel, can you also help Kate create the spaceship? Perhaps merging with her technology."

"Very well, master," Gabriel appeared and then went to Kate's side, which then disappeared

again.

The Bullet Demon didn't even know how that worked at all, but once they were done eating, Kate brought out his armor, which he instantly equipped anyways.

It was the same look as before, but now it fit his entire body, it was amazing.

"Ah, that's more like it," said Miranda with a nod. "You look intimidating as hell!"

"..." The Bullet Demon remained in silence, glancing at his armor. "It's good, thank you."

"The race is about to begin, so let's get going," Drake said. "Let's get first place."
