Chapter 883: Abomination Nation

"I am afraid I am not able to do that."

"Oh."

Miss Esme has not even been able to reply before Randall shuts down any notion of trying to revive the rest of the undead themarians. Riley, however, still has not returned the undead themarians back to his pocket and still had them stretched toward Miss Esme.

"As I have said before, Master," Miss Esme, however, quickly realized what Riley was doing and quickly shook her head; very gently pushing his hand away, "What you do with them is up to you, and since they will not be revived, you still have ownership of them and I will not take them from you."

"Very well," Riley just shrugged before casually returning his army back into his pocket. He noticed Randall and Miss Pepondosovich staring at him while doing so, however, prompting him to retrieve a handful of the cages back,

"Did you want to have your own themarian zombie, Randal, Miss Pepondosovich?" Riley asked as he presented two miniature cages to Randall and Miss Pepondosovich.

And of course, the two quickly shook their heads and refused. Even if they get one of those, they do not really have the ability to return them to their original size... and most of all, they do not want the responsibility of having a monster they couldn't control just resting in their pockets — only an insane person would do that.

"Then, I suppose I would keep them to use with my previous intention," Riley nodded.

"...And what kind of intention is that?" Miss Pepondosovich squinted her eyes, "You know what... maybe you actually shouldn't have those things. Can someone confiscate them from this guy?"

"Nonsense, Pepondosovich," Randall let out a small chuckle as he raised his hand, "Did you not hear Miss Esme's words? Even though she was an undead, Riley Ross took care of her and gave her... a life even better than those who are still living. If Riley Ross is already that kind to the undead...

...I would imagine his compassion and kindness to the living knows no bounds."

"Hm," Miss Esme nodded her head, "That is somewhat true. Before Riley Ross was sent to this place, he had just ended the reign of a multiversal conqueror that had enslaved thousands of universes."

"He had done something like that!?" Randall raised his voice, wanting to pat Riley's shoulder but failing to do so as he quickly stepped to the side, "Do you see now, the greatness and kindness of your companion, Pepondosovich?"

"Oh, trust me..." Miss Pepondosovich let out a smug laugh, "...You have no idea what he really is. You will be surprised once you learn his age. But of course, I am not going to tell you, I only told you to make you curious. Anyway, do you want to stay here, or should we go and visit the next city, Riley? We have, like, a very long treacherous road ahead."

"Wait," Riley quickly turned around as he heard Miss Pepondosovich's words and then started walking toward the Summoning Well, "Do I just need to put my hand inside this puddle of mudd, Miss Pepondosovich?"

"Right... you still have not summoned your own creature yet," Miss Pepondosovich hopped toward Riley, "Just think of what you want to create, and then transfer a part of your life force into it."

"My... life force?" Riley blinked a couple of times as he placed his hand inside the mud and looked at Miss Pepondosovich.

"Oh, just imagine yourself giving birth."

"Oh," Randall let out a sigh of relief, "But if you wish to go out, then finding one is one of the ways to do so. If you happen to garner any news regarding it in one of your travels, follow its trail... ...and perhaps we will meet again sooner than I thought."

"I truly do not know why none of you liked my summon, Miss Pepondosovich."

"That was not a summon, Riley! They even forcefully kicked us out and banned us from visiting the city for a thousand years!"

"I was told there were no rules here, Miss Pepondosovich. But it would seem our freedom is completely restricted."

"I agree with you, Master. Your summon was indeed more intriguing than the others."

A few hours after bidding farewell to Randall, Riley, Miss Pepondosovich, and Miss Esme were now walking on a slightly brown field of grass. And with the way each of their height stands, they seemed like a... unique bunch.

"Intriguing? It was hideous!" Miss Pepondosovich stopped walking as she hopped in front of Miss Esme and Riley, "Wait, just the two of you wait! As your guide, I feel like there needs to be a set of rules we should follow!"

"No," Riley quickly shook his head, "Aulus said there are no rules here, Miss Pepondosovich, I prefer for it to be like that."

"I prefer that as well," Miss Esme nodded, "My planet followed the rules to the latter, we were wiped out all the same."

"Then can I at least ask a favor!?"

"Of course, Miss Pepondosovich," Riley nodded, and Miss Esme followed.

"Can you please, please tell me before you are about to do something insane, Riri?" Miss Pepondosovich's bunny ears slightly lowered, "It feels like I am taking care of a baby. Of course, you are only really like a baby, but still."

"That is no problem at all, Miss Pepondosovich. I will tell you if I do something that might feel insane to you," Riley once again nodded, "But can you answer my question first?"

"What? What is it?"

"A cosmic piece, what is it?" Riley tilted his head to the side. And as he did so, Miss Esme sat on the ground to listen to Miss Pepondosovich.

"It's... nothing, really," Miss Pepondosovich sighed,

"It's a way for us to become a Higher God."
