[Kid… Since when did you become this big talker? Last time I checked, you came from a nameless race, one that had zero accomplishments in the universe]
"It's not about where I came from, or from where I learnt all this. Life is my big teacher, my mentor, and I learnt a lot during it. No matter who I am, my words hold a logic you can't even argue with!"
[That doesn't mean I will take it for granted! Doesn't mean I'll follow your sayings!]
"I'm not asking either for that," I shrugged, "I'm just expressing my opinion. If we want hope, if you are truly seeking hope for our universe, out of this dilemma, then the solution is much simpler than you think… Step up! Man up and take the responsibility of everything in the universe. Lead us, unite us together and let us win this entire war."
[Hmm… I can't help but ask, what do you get from all of this?]
"I already told you," I laughed, "recruitment chance!"
[Your greed… Shows no end, kiddo!]
"I'm just realistic," I smiled, as if he said a piece of compliment or something, "I got a kingdom that needs my full support and attention, all the help it can get."
[Sure, by stealing talents from other big races. That's indeed a great cause and justified reason for such theft]
"They are mistreating their offsprings, not I!" I seriously said, "just take a tour around, see how these capable talents are treated there. I'm not judging anyone, but if they take such gems as dirt, then let these dirt leave and join other places, other forces, where we'll all treat them the right way they should."
[Tsk! What a troublesome little kid you are!]
"So…"
[You got five times of my help]
"That's not what I was talking about!"
[I can't promise you anything. Just focus on your stuff, and let me worry about mine]
"Fine!" I knew trying to push things here would backfire. After all, all the races in the universe were watching this show. And the big names realised my real intentions from all this.
But what if they knew? I wanted nothing more than more chances for my kingdom. And even if they felt displeased, I wouldn't care.
All I cared about was my kingdom. And just now I instigated the thought inside this higher up and others as well.
It was up to them to decide what they'd do from now on. And as for me, I'd keep myself in the audience seats, watching all this happening from the side.
And as I got what I wanted, it was time for me to start my full out attack.
[Where is that jerk?] The first thing I did was to open a chat with Lily, ask her about the jumper.
[He is still trying to gather more intel about the situation out there. But things are quite bad for now per his words]
[How so?]
[They are gathering most of their forces up there, surrounding the bubbles of races he found so far]
[I see… Does he have any portal with him? Nearby portal?]
[I believe he was in the sixth enemy world base before all this happened]
[Good that you know where that jerk is]
[Are you going there? Are you going to leave this place for now?]
[I will jump over to the other side indeed] I paused, [But that jerk's place will be the last one I'll visit. Let him suffer a little]
[This… But he is waiting for your arrival!]
[I have lots of things on the stake here. So it's better to diver the enemy's attention elsewhere, before I'd go to rescue him]
[Why am I feeling like you are going to punish him?]
[He deserves that, right? Are you going to defend him?]
[Well… If it's for the greater good, then I will]
[The greater good… Nice reason, but it's not enough] I laughed, [I also got another greater good reason in my mind. So he is going to wait]
[He is going to be mad]
[I bet he is!]
I laughed, and for a reason, I felt like she was laughing as well.
[What shall we do here?]
[I tried to help with everything I got. Many places are stabilised already. Our forces are uniting and merging together, giving the enemy hellish time]
[But…]
[I know it's not enough. But it's still a good gain so far. Wait for more hours, until the entire merge is over. Then use our newly arrived forces to help the existing ones. Also spread over the word, the top priority for any scattered forces is to merge together, find each other, and fight as a whole united army]
[They know that! But the enemy isn't giving them any advantage at all!]
[Just let them stick around for a bit longer, if possible] I sighed, [I got no time to waste here. The entire war is still on the risk of being lost]
[Damn! Even after what we all did?]
[Yes! We did lot of things, but it seems we still didn't do enough]
[Damn! Ok, let me see what I can do then]
She realised how bad our situation was. She went to do her stuff, and it was time for me to shift my attention towards the enemy homelands.
I instantly gathered up my scattered Kings, jumped back to the ground zero portal area, before finally going through one portal.
It was leading towards one of the enemy homelands. In fact, I didn't know which portal led to which world. I lost track of all the portals I established here, only knew in general which led to other zones, which led to worlds, and which led to the enemy homelands.
The moment I passed through it, I appeared in another piece of this awesome world. This time, the sky wasn't purely lit by the sun, or filled with clouds.
Instead, it was filled with flying enemies everywhere! Forming an entire sky of their own! They shielded the sun, and the ground was filled to the brim with endless armies that stretched to the end of the sight.
