And there I found the bone that caused all this lying down on the ground. It returned to its normal shape and size, looking as docile and innocent as any cute baby.
“This…” Oglak went ahead to grab it, in a sign that announced he wasn’t fearing this bone or fire. Yet when he returned to me, he said, “there was not a single speck of energy inside.”
“It got depleted… But why is the bone itself still here?” I looked in puzzlement towards this phalanx bone, feeling more confused the more I thought about it.
“It may be a special kind of bone, lord. Its shell must be extremely durable, able to sustain itself after consuming its energy.”
“Well… If so then…” suddenly a thought flashed in my mind, one that I would test later on. “Let’s go, we stayed here for a long time already.”
I stored the bone away inside my inventory, and then opened a portal pass towards the second Earth world.
I left for over half a day, and that meant lots of time passed inside my second Earth world.
[Where are you?] Before leaving, I left instructions for Lily to lead those talents and start building the third training grounds.
Of course I got a huge boost and wildcard of my bones, but it wasn’t enough to depend entirely on them. They could help in times of distress, but I couldn’t use them as my main winning card.
My forces had to adapt to fighting against Hescos without the help of my bones. Even if I got a way to handle the side effects of that technique, I could at most arm up tens of thousands of bones.
That wasn’t something that could be considered enough, not even close from enough. What could tens of thousands do against armies of tens of millions?
Not to mention I got lots of worlds and tons of fighting battlefields to cover.
I had to give more time for my necromancer world to grow, and I also wanted to purchase more items to grow it up. And also who said I got only one magical artefact that I could use?
I had twenty six unused magical artefacts, and most of them could be applied in this world of mine.
I regretted using my necromancer world back on Earth. Time there goes like a snail! Instead, using these magical artefacts here was more suitable.
So I planned to go on a spree of establishing these marvellous artefacts before going to train. And before all that, I got to first finish the preparations of the two new training grounds.
[I’m at the new training ground, and it’s almost done]
[This fast?!] I was surprised to hear that.
[This fast… What? Did you stay all this time on Earth? Sigh! For us ten days passed, and that’s more than enough to get this continent ready for training]
[Cool] I realised my mistake here, [What about the second training ground?]
[Done! And the first is getting enough forces coming from the heaven place you discovered. Also Angelica is doing great in spreading the new culture of getting married in between different races]
[That’s great! So many responded and accepted such a new concept?]
[Many? Tons accepted that per the latest reports! According to her, she asked for more people to come and help organising this matter as the scope of people joining in this process is too much]
[More people… For what? They are going to marry, they don’t need our help]
[What a dirty mind you got inside your skull! Angelica wants to record those who are going to marry, to keep track of things and get to find any suitable talent early on]
[Oh… I got it] I felt a little embarrassed by my dirty thoughts back then, [Alright, and the races and humans coming here… Are they doing great resting and relaxing?]
[I sent part of them to train at the first training ground, and shifted those elites and old ones to the other two. I also brought over here the strongest soldiers we got. Like this, we can start at any given moment]
[Sure, wait for me to come and hear your thoughts first] I could just jump over and inform little Qi to release his trapped monsters.
But before doing this, I had to first understand how Lily planned the second training grounds.
Where did she want the ground monsters? Aquatic monsters? And which zones would be left for defence, and which would be for offence?
I needed to hear all about her plans and understand them well before going to meet my little Qi.
And after that, I’d entrust things here over to her and head towards my most mysterious place; the shadow world.
I got to explore it this time and reach further beyond its limits. I got to see what lies behind my shadow world, and how to solve the problems I got with it.
It didn’t make any sense to just have such an OP world and not be able to get the best use out of it.
However when I jumped over to the third training ground, I was shocked by what I saw.
“Lord… Do you have wizards in your forces or what?!!” Oglak couldn’t help but say, expressing the shock we both had.
We left this continent and it looked just like any other place in this world. And yet right in front of my eyes I saw a totally new terrain!
Deep trenches that expanded from tens of miles to the horizon, many cities and towns, forts and castles, and even flying islands appeared in the distance as well.
How… Just how could she manage to do all this in such a short time? Damn! It seemed I underestimated those new talents.
I knew the secret behind all this belonged to the new generations born. It seemed the talents they inherited had improved by much.
And across all this, there were lots of workers and soldiers, working and getting into positions.
