Damn! I was very excited about this! Just by using these portals, sending them over the new world out there, everything we were suffering and struggling so far with would be gone!
Puff! It would be vaporised in thin air like a bubble of soap or something! If we used these portals out there, and they proved to work like what he described, then all we needed to do was to gather our armies, point to a location, and then send them all over the world towards their destination.
We didn't need to suffer and wait for a long time, sending people all over the world, trying to investigate everything like Lily and I planned to do.
We simply could send everything we had towards every corner of the world. And according to the situation we'd find there, we'd decide if we'd send more forces or not!
Damn! This… This… This was what truly a battle changing weapon was like!
"Lord! I got to tell you this," and just when I was losing it in the middle of my imagination, it seemed he got something to ruin everything out for me, "we need a map, a detailed map of the place we are going to teleport towards. Or else the portal won't work! We tried, tried to go to places we roughly know its existence in this world, tried to draw simple maps and use them, but it all failed."
"Hahahahaha! It's alright dude, hahahaha! Drinks are on me tonight, and for every coming night, boys, hahahaha!"
I laughed, mimicked his way to celebrate his joy with others, while not feeling a speck of worry at all.
A detailed map? God! We already got that! Hahahaha!
"Tell me first, how many of these do you have?" and this was the most important question right now, the one that would decide everything.
If they got few, little and not enough, then I'd have to wait for them to build more. And it would be much worse if they needed lots of time and resources to build these.
"We got tons of them," he said in doubt, not understanding why I acted in such a way. And of course he got all the right to feel so. Only those generals out there, led by Lily, would understand why I was feeling this way.
"Great! Give me everything, all the portals you got. Also prepare a team, lots of teams, knowing how to make these portals work, and how to keep them running without any issues for decades to come."
"S… Sure, lord," he still was baffled by my reaction, and I didn't care about explaining myself here. I got what I wanted, a hellish pleasant surprise that I never imagined I'd get.
Hahahaha! I was totally happy and excited at this moment.
Fiends… Damn traitors… Just wait… Gates of hell were about to widely open on your faces, and you were all going to die!
"Here they are," he took many small balls out. They were all different from what I expected.
"This…" I grabbed one and inspected it. It felt like any rubber ball, small to be held by my fist, without much weight actually, "what are these exactly? The controlling balls?"
I asked as they were slightly similar to what he used back then to control the gate.
"Lord, these are the portals," but what he said made me more surprised, "they can be activated using energy, cultivation energy. Oh, I forgot to tell you this, but the ones who are going to use these must have cultivation bases opened."
"That…" I tried to recall if Lily and other generals got their cultivation bases open or not. For any race coming out from my human race circle, I could safely assume they already got their bases opened.
But for any human general or friend on my side… I didn't think they got their cultivation bases open.
"And that's not all," he paused before adding, "to arrive at far away places, one has to be high in cultivation, opening more bases."
"Oh, it's all about energy then," I stood in my place for a few seconds trying to get what he meant. And when I realised the core of this logic, my eyes shone brightly. And he nodded.
"Lord can say it in this way, but using normal energy sources like ores and such won't work. We even tried to use stat points and failed."
"Hmm… I got something better," I touched all the balls, sucking them all inside my inventory, "holy sh*t! Five million portals?!!! They never looked that much!!!"
I sucked them inside my inventory in less than a minute. And when I checked the inventory, I was shocked to see the crazy number beside the image of these portals.
"Well… We used a genius idea to store many portals inside a sealed space," old Gan tried to explain, but frankly I failed to grasp his meaning fully.
"Do you mean you used a space power? From who?" I looked around the faces of the five in front of me. They might not be aware of this, but the space power races were already extinct!
"We have few variations inside the new generations who can do it," old Gan said in a slow tone, as if he got part of what I had in my mind.
And that was expected. He was someone who used to work for the Toranks for a long time. And he must have heard a few about the extinct space races.
"In new generations? Impressive!" I never expected the ones with such ability would come from my world and people, "make sure to look for time and space gifted people, make them well secured and taught, teach them quite well, ok?"
"Sure lord, but we didn't get a single time gifted one yet, but too many space dudes."
"It's alright," I already got an entire race blessed with time ability, "now let me show you something interesting in return for these portals…"
I waved my hand, and in the next second, many big balls appeared all over the place.
"This…"
"These…"
