Lucas II followed my orders to the letter, keeping the silver ground safe and intact.
The shields I left protected this zone from any spatial storms or lava leftovers, only losing a few of them in the end.
It wasn't that big of a loss considering the ti I spent away.
"So…" I stopped my chariot again at the sa spot that I left from, "did you get your answers?"
"Yes," Mou stopped talking, and I didn't speak as well. I did my part, took this dude around the worlds and zones my forces were fighting at.
I looked at his eyes from behind the mask, and he kept glaring back at . "I have to admit, this is sothing great."
"What exactly?"
"Everything!" he paused, and I also kept my silence. This wasn't the kind of answer I was waiting for. "I'm going to help you, but…"
"No more conditions," I waved my glaive, "I hate those who keep reneging on their words."
"I'm not," he hurriedly raised both hands. It seed this visit didn't just convince this dude, but also left a scary touch at his heart, "I just want to serve you as a general later on."
"If you have the ability," I paused, "and if you provided enough services to , then you can ask for such a thing."
Those who t first always ended up gaining the best out of anything. I didn't know if this was a trend or sothing, but I already noticed such a weird habit of mine.
"Sure, I'm prepared to lead you all the way towards there," he pointed towards the direction of the half of the planet, "and I'm going to tell you all the secrets about everything about my people."
"Good boy," good dog indeed! Just like the jumper I knew, this dude would do anything just for his benefit!
I wouldn't say no to such an offer. Adding one useless dude over to my roster of generals wasn't going to hurt anyway.
"Cool," I nodded, "let's first see how you'll drive us there."
And against what I expected, that dude took out a long knife, pointed towards the closest shield as he said, "these shields are all connected underground. So getting to one of them ans getting to the entire planet of ours."
"Great," I nodded before turning over to Lucas II who stood on my side, "control the ground and lead it towards the direction of that planet."
Lucas II was already used to my orders, and I got used to his compliance. And he was also one of those who I first t, proving my theory about my weird habit.
The ground expanded and extended, moved towards the nearest shield like a giant snake. At the sa ti, I led my chariot at the fullest speed it could produce under such abnormal conditions.
Just wait you all, you bastards, I'd go and enslave all of you thanks to all the trouble you brought over to !
"It's ti," after a few hours, we finally arrived at the nearest shield, "show your magic."
The knife he took I guessed that he'd slash a portal at the shield using it. However he didn't. Instead of using it against the shield, he used it against himself, gushing out copious amounts of blood out of his body, before controlling it.
The blood flew towards the shield, releasing a loud sizzling noise when it touched it. The shield that stood erect in front of all the spatial storms and anything else, even the lava that ate away tons of my shields, started to crumble against his blood.
"This…" I was surprised to see such a simple and yet effective way to solve this problem that brought enough headache to .
"The shields are coded after our genes," he slowly explained in a growing weak tone, "hurry, alone can't keep the gate open for a long ti."
"What gate? Where is it?" I asked while moving my eyes around, trying to see what he described and desperately wanted but wasn't there.
"That shield," he slowly said, "it's that part that got connected with my blood. Go through it, it's a gate."
I tried to see, but no matter how hard I tried, there was no gate or even a single opening out there. The only thing that appeared was a thin layer of that shield.
"Go! I can't keep it for more than one minute!"
"Fine!" Under his persistence, I finally decided to take the risk and gambled with everything in his words.
I moved my chariot, and the mont it touched that shield, it was like the shield wasn't there.
*Fwoosh!* a flash of light enveloped my eyes, and the next second I saw a green and bright world, one that looked too damn peaceful than what I already expected to see from outside.
This place extended to cover a huge area, filled with villages, towns, and even thriving cities, with well behaved roads that connected everything together in a grand net.
Such a scene extended to the end of my sight, and I have to admit, I loved it here!
It was like Earth, my Earth before the arrival of the apocalypse. Things looked quite great to be true, not even close to anything of the hell lying outside.
The entire ground was filled with an endless number of jumpers, all wearing different coloured masks, all walking and living their lives in peace.
Seeing them like this made quite envious! The entire universe around was burning and suffering from disasters, and these folks were just living their lives without even having the slightest bit of worry.
The arrival of my chariot in the heart of their clear blue sky attracted tons of attention. And the next minute, I heard loud sirens of alarms ringing all over the place.
"They activated the great disaster alarms," Mou said, explaining the obvious.
"They take for an enemy."
"No one cos here but an enemy," he sighed, "we kept fighting those you call friends for god knows how long years, thousands of years, or even millions of years…"
