Chapter 172: The Enemy Has Arrived!

James was the first to reach the deck, and the moment he reached there he noticed the strange quietness that prevailed over the entire space around his cruiser.

"Brief me with the updates," he demanded as he sat on his seat while the two girls ran into the deck at this moment, panting with their ragged breaths.

"The enemy is still defending relentlessly, despite having most of their forces killed. Our allies sent a word a couple of hours ago saying that they are twelve hours away."

One of the droids who Rigo left for James replied, and James's eyes shone brightly as he smirked:

"These weaklings are trying to get here after the war is over and before I can take everything under my reign. Interesting," he smirked before glancing over to his side, as he asked the droid again:

"What about the incoming enemy fleet? Have they arrived yet?"

"They arrived a couple of hours ago but strangely they didn't enter the battle yet. They stationed themselves at a distance, with a single large cruiser standing away from the rest, obviously acting as a decoy."

"Is this a confirmed intel or a deducted info?"

The droid seemed nervous by James on-spot question as he hurried to reply:

"This is what Rigo deducted, supreme leader."

"Good," James nodded before adding, "set course then for this cruiser, it's our VIP guest, and we shall not let our guests wait for such a long time alone without company."

He then turned to Dora as he ordered:

"This fight is going to be brutal and merciless, with no place for beauties like you two. leave and join the fight here, and beware of the Terases fleet stationed nearby."

"But…" Dora was about to object, but James' stern eyes and his solemn face gave her the impression of his unacceptance to her words and objection. "Alright, we will leave now," it was Anasta not Dora who replied instead. And James just nodded.

The two girls took half an hour to evacuate here, and then James said:

"Go now."

"Should we sound the alarm for war?" the droid asked while the others started to steer the cruiser towards its new course.

"Just make everyone ready, but this fight will be done by me alone," he said, while glancing over the outer cold space as he muttered to himself, addressing Stefanie:

"Do you know how fighting between me and that person will be done?"

'Just imagine the picture of yourself, your dragon self, all the time and use me always. Leave the techniques for me this time,' she replied, in a much refreshing tone than ever; something that caught James' attention.

"Have you grown up and gotten stronger?"

'Me, you, and the two girls were the lucky ones to gain the blessing of the universe. The other harem you have, especially your precious doll, Islinda, were unfortunate to not be here at the right place and the right time.'

"Oho, never knew you would be this jealous on me!"'

'Who? Me? hehehe, that's a joke.'

"Yeah, I thought this too, hehehe."

He paused as he thought of the techniques Stefanie mentioned before asking:

"When will I be able to train on the techniques of yours?"

'What? Missed me already playboy?!'

"I'm speaking seriously here."

'So do I, hehehe.'

"Can you answer the question without acting this lustful? Last time you were left wrecked like an old hag!"

'Shut up! It was just an act of me to fool you!'

"Really? Then I look forward to the next time to see if this was an act or not, hehehe."

'Naughty big boy! Just focus on the task in hand please.'

"The same for you. So, when?"

'When what?'

"Just answer the question and stop your little games!"

'Alright, no need to shout, I hated it the worst when someone shouts at me like this! I'm a delicate little lady who gets shy from her own shadow in the mirror!'

"Indeed, I saw this under my body all past hours. Can you answer my question shy girl?"

'Sigh, you can come to train after this battle. Your strength has evolved and now you can handle me.'

"I was able to handle you a long time ago, the question is after this evolution of yours, can you handle me?"

'Naughty playboy! Stop teasing me! Focus on your next fight!'

"Don't shout, you can just scream and moan."

'…'

"hehehe!"

It was a fact that James was in a very good mood right now, and the fight Stefanie mentioned more than once was something he never put in the eye anymore.

Something changed in him after this evolution, as gaining the blessing of the universe changed not only his power, but also his state of mind.

He became more collected, less agitated, and more confident in his own strength to conquer and crush anyone!

"Supreme leader, a transmission is coming from that ship," a droid suddenly said, attracting James from his momentarily daze. "Have we arrived there yet?" he asked.

"No, we need ten minutes to reach there."

"Good, show the transmission here," James pointed towards a nearby hologram, which instantly was lit up showing the face of a youth, arrogant, full of himself, with sharp eyes and fair looks. He wasn't much older than James, only a couple of years old at most.

"Finally we meet, my rival," the youth was the first to speak as he just saw James like he was standing in front of him.

"Are the transmission bi-directional?" James asked in confusion, as it was supposed to be a transmission from one side, not a holographic call like this!

"No, supreme leader, this is a transmission coming from the ship directly to us," the droid replied after moments of checking up his equipment, to make sure nothing was wrong here.

"Don't be surprised, as I don't need these old tech to see and feel you. I can see you directly in front of me, with this confused little innocent face of yours. So, tell me James, do you consider surrendering yourself and dedicate your whole existence to me?"

James' face turned from being so confused to being so playful as he instantly replied with a loud laugh:

"Sorry mate, I only pump soft sweet ladies with sweet breasts and soft big asses, not dudes with mustaches like you, hehehe."
