“Ok, but you’ll have to promise to get me when I’m done!” under my persistence, she finally resigned.
“Sure, just send me a message,” I played again with her hair, making her sigh. “Go now, you have tons of things to handle.”
“Link this place then with that pocket world first,” she said while walking in heavy steps away.
“I will,” I shouted from behind before jumping down and installed a few of my discs here.
“Go and inform others about these people here,” I turned to old Gan, “let them start working together.”
“I already informed them,” he said with such an impatient look on his face, “they are sending people over to get these.”
“Cool,” I took out my staff and then jumped to the pocket world and installed the other twin pieces, connecting the two worlds together.
“Lord… This world…” from the side, old Man’s face twitched, “it reeks with death and heavy stench of blood and bad omen!”
“Don’t jinx me! This place was won by lots of sacrifices and I put an end to a very dangerous scheme.”
“Oh, I see…”
“Let’s go,” I opened a portal, “it’s time for us to meet those legendary Hescos.”
And when I said it, his face beamed with such a wide smile. He wasn’t less eager than me to meet these Hescos for sure.
“This… It looks amazing,” once we jumped over the new continent, old Gan only saw the wide stretch of land without anything else.
He didn’t see that terrifying zone of lightning, the one that took me over a week to cross. Seeing such an easy gaze on his face made me want to take him on a tour in the depth of that lightning zone.
[I’m ready, you can send the Hescos over right away] I didn’t think much about this crazy idea and sent this message over to that crazy sovereign.
[Come on! Let me take a glimpse on that wondrous world of your]
[No!] he didn’t drop this idea yet.
[Sigh! Ok, I’ll send the Hescos over. But to make you safe, just sign their contracts first]
He sent me tons of contracts to sign. This time I had to sign them one by one, and endure for many hours such silent torture.
The best I could do was to sign them in batches, and yet that cost me around ten hours!
Why the heck didn’t he tell me about this before? I had a lot of time to waste signing contracts! Just like when I waited for Lily to bring those geniuses over for hours!!
Sometimes… It was hard to understand the mind of those at the top of the ladder of power.
[I’m done! Send them over]
[On the way… By the way, have you made any progress about your own crazy theory?]
[What theory?] I was eager to get these Hescos than to chat with this old fox.
[The one about having weapons to harm them… Any progress about that?]
[Hahahaha! Do you think I’m some sort of a magician or something? I need time] I lied! Just before coming here, I witnessed the might of many weapons that could harm these Hescos in theory.
They were harvesting the individual spiritual energy and releasing such mighty attacks. But I got to test them first before starting to solve the problem of mass producing them.
[Cool! I will wait for the good news then]
[What good news? I don’t have anything yet!]
[Come on! I could tell from your tone and happiness that this problem isn’t actually a problem] this old fox! How did he guess it! [I’m sure you got something up your sleeve, some sort of an idea that can be implemented, right?]
[I can’t say I have such a thing]
[Hahahaha! Ok, keep it secretive like this but not for too long. Once you have something real, don’t forget to contact me]
[Why are you eager about this? What? Are you going to be a weapon dealer or something?]
[Kiddo… You are already speaking with one of the biggest weapon dealers in the entire universe!]
[…!!!]
[Just make sure to contact me first. Such a thing… Hahahaha, it will be a hot cake in the entire universe. And I have to control such great business, do you hear me?]
For a moment there, I felt like he was threatening me or something.
[Let’s talk about it when I got something for real!]
[Keep playing around, but you won’t be able to fool the eyes of this old man, hahahaha!]
[Ok, send them over then. I’m dying to meet them]
[Be ready, as what you’ll see will blow up your mind]
Just as he sent this, many portals suddenly appeared all around. “Get ready, they are coming,” I said not to the old Gan, but to myself.
Here my future enemies, the ones who I was destined to clash with, were coming!
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Big noises came from each one descending on the ground. With such a large number, I saw the ground shaking violently from their arrival.
But that wasn’t the issue, they were!
“These…” I looked at the giants that appeared in front of me. Each one of them wore giant black suits that looked like they were made all out of leather.
The suits had broad shoulders, no neck, with rounded heads that had one row of eyes. I counted five, seven, and even nine eyes in many suits.
They were almost ten metres in height, seven in width, giving me a fierce impression.
From each suit, long arched spear-like leather solid extensions appeared from the back of their heads, their spines, elbows, and knees.
Each suit had a colour, and they started from green up to red. Seeing these colours gave me an impression of their individual might.
They were just like the colours of my bones!
And that meant the green suits were the weakest, and the red ones were the highest.
“You…”
“This place…”
“Damn! We ended up from the captivity of wolves to ants!”
“F*ck this! I prefer to die fighting than living under such a weak lord!”
