Chapter 1180: Cap 1178: Run Away
When I woke up the next day I was being carried by Diana in my arms as if I were a doll, we were outside the Dungeon in a very busy corridor with people running in the opposite direction in a hurry.
I look down confirming that I have clothes on, I'm glad she remembered to dress me this time, I look up to find Loba's gaze focused on me, I can see the anxiety in her eyes.
"(Looks like something happened?)" (I)
dsvel.cm "Good morning or so you'd like to say, but something happened, didn't it?" (I)
"Yes, we are in the middle of an evacuation as you can see." (Diana)
"Just to confirm, but how long did I sleep?" (I)
"2 days, but Erica didn't want to wake you up, waking you up wouldn't change anything either." (Diana)
"These people are being taken to a separate floor, right?" (I)
"Yes, they won't join anyone until they get approval from Caitlyn, Lilith, and you." (Diana)
"That's good, where are we going?" (I)
"I noticed you were just about to wake up when your eyes nearly opened in bed earlier, so I got you ready and brought you to one of the meetings going on since last night." (Diana)
"..." (I)
Sigh
"(Always a damn problem...)" (I)
I looked around at the people running, some were looking strangely at Diana, and they had fear or fear in their eyes, not ready to enter the Dungeon, clearly, Caitlyn wasn't done brainwashing her... I mean, she wasn't done influencing them to a path that doesn't make me kick them out.
I just used my connection to Nix to ask the Spirits to keep an invisible watch on these people, I don't want any of them getting anywhere near the safe room on the floor they're going to without approval.
As I finished sending orders to Nix, I was carried in Diana's arms to a room where Elizabeth, Zadiris, and the Insect Empress by the name of Marlack, two of them had serious expressions on their faces while it was impossible for me to understand Marlack's expression since his features are too far from a humanoid face for me to understand.
"Glad to see you awake, I was thinking of kicking you out of your bed later in the evening." (Elizabeth)
"Thanks for the kind words, now tell me what's going on." (I)
"Didn't you tell him?" (Zadiris)
"Didn't have time, he woke up on the way here." (Diana)
"Venomous World is what they call a nest where more than billions and billions of Poisonous insects are born, grow, and die in the midst of brutal fights, it is the size of a small moon, but the space inside is greatly enlarged." (Zadiris)
"Just as a world has its own spirit that we call Gaia, a Poisonous World also has consciousness, its very existence contaminates the environment with poison, it can control the Poisonous creatures within it and the same happens with the countless poisons created, perfected and maintained within you, the poison itself is alive." (Zadiris)
"This thing can destroy an entire world all by itself." (Zadiris)
"They were restricted by many, their venom has no cure and affects even the Soul, the mother made us all go to them with an ultimatum." (Elizabeth)
"The swarm remembers, a choice to be exterminated or to restrict the use of the Poison Worlds." (Marlack)
"It was the existence of this weapon that allowed the insects to take permanent possession of a solar system where their Swarm remains today." (Elizabeth)
"But for that to be coming here doesn't mean..." (I)
"Times have changed, the Gods have other things to take care of, and the Bugs no longer use a Poisonous World to forcibly take over a planet, at least not until now." (Zadiris)
"The planet will be fine, but more than 90% of the creatures will be wiped out." (Marlack)
"Was there any way to stop these things? You've struggled with this before, haven't you?" (I)
"This poison can permeate the body, Soul, energies, Auras, and even vitality, only Authority works to hurt this thing and defend itself as well." (Elizabeth)
"Where do we go from here?" (I)
"We haven't discussed that yet, I've been waiting for you to wake up." (Elizabeth)
I think for a while, there was still a lot I needed to do, I had Maia to dig up information about the enemies, I had Awakening Ceremonies to do as well as many other things.
"We are away from civilization for a long time, we must go back to Border Town and tell about everything that happened." (I)
"We may need their help too, the Apostles of Truth are stronger than we think and their Allies even seem to know great things we don't know about them." (Zadiris)
"Checking the surroundings is one thing, but we don't know what to expect from this thing..." (I)
"That's why it's good to go back, we can ask for help against these enemies, there must be more..." (Zadiris)
There were too many things to remember to do and I feel my days passing by and making my body slower by the day, now I also have this thing coming after me.
"Let's go before that thing gets here." (I) .
"That's the plan." (Elizabeth)
