It felt strange, feeling the connection that started to grow at a fast pace with these beams, feeling these beams turning their direction and falling over my threads.
My threads weren’t that far from the creatures, but they didn’t get in touch with them yet.
And at this mont, I saw the tens of thousands of those behemoths scream in silence, releasing their terrifying shock waves towards the world.
My threads were going to be crushed! And the most frustrating thing was that I didn’t have anything in my power to stop it from happening.
At this crucial mont, when I was this close to see the effect of these beams over these creatures, my threads were going to shatter.
I felt the parts close to the creatures getting crushed. I watched in silence and agony these threads getting smashed under the mighty effect of these shockwaves.
And I watched the miracle happen.
It happened when the red gas surrounding my threads clashed against the shockwave.
Unlike what happened just now, the threads stopped getting crushed. It felt like they got so kind of boost, a defensive shield that strengthened the endurance of these threads.
Getting crushed was sothing I didn’t want to see. So when the threads stood erect against the shockwave, I realised I got a chance here.
Then another miracle happened!
My threads surrounded with the red gas moved faster, penetrated through the shockwave and got themselves attached to these creatures.
I sent lots of threads, mostly got smashed to pieces and lost half of their lengths. But now they got extended and managed to surround those creatures.
Then things started to grow hectic from this point.
The beams of light fell over the small zone, guided by my threads. I couldn’t see anything but bright redness that looked like the world was welcoming a new red supernova or sothing.
And then shocking and rumbling explosive sounds started to rock the entire world. It felt like the real end was here, the real apocalypse, the one that would sweep away everything green and alive in its path.
I stood on the top of my chariot, overseeing such a horrifying scene. At this mont, I felt little, so tiny in front of such might.
This battle… It was going on a whole different scale than what I ever imagined!
In front of such might, what anyone could ever feel but dwarfed and belittled?
“That damn thing…” Just as the creatures were getting hamred by these red beams, I recalled sothing.
Without any hesitation, I controlled a few threads and moved them towards a different target.
I just hoped I wasn’t too late to act. The normal star weapon would take a few minutes, up to ten, before it would go silent.
I controlled my threads and moved them towards the nearby gate. I wanted to smash that piece of sh*t and watch it burn under that red beam of light.
I just worried that all the red beams were already focused over these creatures. Killing the creatures was good, but as long as that damn portal stood, more would keep coming.
I had less than thirty minutes left here before this gate would be closed on its own. But I didn’t want to just wait for another threatening wave of creatures to co here.
My threads moved and got to the portal. I felt another weird feeling at this mont. It was like my threads linked my consciousness with another.
And that one was much, much stronger and bigger than anything I ever felt before. Even when my threads got connected to the hidden net here, I didn’t feel the sa.
[Oh, you ca to visit before you die?]
At this mont I felt like standing naked in front of a mighty presence. I felt like I was a butterfly standing in front of a blazing star, sothing that made my thoughts freeze out of pure fear.
What was that? Was that the hegemon who sent those things here? Damn! If I thought these creatures were scary, then I had to reconsider this.
This… Thing… This… Dude… He… Was on a level of his own!
[I’m here to say goodbye to you, but I’m not going to die] I wanted to speak but weirdly enough only thoughts were allowed to move and not words.
[Interesting… I rarely get surprised by anything, but you made feel this way… Who are you?]
[I’m just Hye] I said, not knowing what I should say to this dude here.
[Ok Hye, I like you… Why not leave that crappy universe of yours and join ?]
Join him? What a joke! Just thinking about that made want to laugh.
[Don’t feel this belongs to your universe. If not we are fighting two other universes at the sa ti, we’d have crushed this pathetic universe of yours]
His words shook down to the bones. They weren’t fighting us with even half of their strengths? That was… Shocking!
We were struggling like this and they weren’t even focused or getting serious with us… Damn!
[Sorry] but even so, I had no intention of considering what he just offered. [But I’ll have to bring down your offer]
[That’s ok, you are still small] he said it as if this was sothing taken for granted, [You will understand things better when you are good enough to stand on a bigger stage. At that ti, you’ll seriously consider my offer and it will be valid till I say otherwise]
[Ok] I didn’t know what to tell such a behemoth, but if he was acting like this then I’d just have to respond with the sa courtesy.
And just before he would say anymore, I felt the connection getting severed. The portal was being hamred with red beams, freeing my consciousness from that awkward eting.
Just as I ca back to my senses, I was shocked to see myself bathed in my sweat. Damn! Just eting that dude was more taxing than I thought.
But it was over, for now at least!
