Chapter 1450 The Funny Hector General
Chapter 1450 The Funny Hector General
He gave me such a weird number, and that told me this entire world was covered with these pits.
What would such a world look like from space? A giant ball with endless holes like someone got a needle and pricked it as a game or what?
"Hi Clatinberg," I said in greeting, "can you explain what's going on here?"
"Before that," just as he said it, everyone else seemed to get a hidden mark or something. All took out their weapons, and seemed quite vigilant and ready to start a big fight.
"What's the meaning of that?" I calmly watched their unexplained moves, and added in the same calmness, "I came here to help and save all of you. Is this how you express your thanks?"
"We heard lots of liars like you," Clatinberg said, "we got tricked and ended up in such a way thanks to people like you. You dirty liar and criminal, what do you take us for? Fools?"
"Indeed you are," I didn't get what went wrong in their minds, "I came here in a quest to save all of you. You are trapped, and you are helping the enemies who trapped you in such a hellish place."
"Stop spreading your poison around," I said these words while holding my horn, saying all this to everyone down below, "we won't get tricked by people like you ever again! Our ancestors told us the real stories about what happened, how they got tricked by people like you, ending up without any blessing and reaching such a damn place you are calling hell!"
I looked at his eyes, at everyone's eyes. These fools… They got outplayed by the enemy!
"Then why don't we make a bet?" I knew trying to speak with them wouldn't do any good.
"What bet? Want to trick us to bless you and get nothing in return? You damn criminal! We shall kill you and avenge our ancestors, avenge ourselves… Attack!"
The next moment these one hundred groups attacked my chariot with everything they got. And I got to give it to them, they were quite formidable and strong.
However no matter how strong they were, they weren't able to leave a single mark over my chariot's shield.
I remained silent for ten minutes, watching them use many and different weapons and even artefacts!
The best result they got was to spread a few shallow cracks over my chariot's shield. In the end, Clatinberg stopped attacking, and with him everyone else stopped what they were doing and retreated a little.
"Are you ready now to talk?"
"We won't talk to such a dirty criminal like you!"
I sighed, turned around before pointing towards a direction, "see this place? See this light? It's a fire that I released," I got that they mistook my actions as my inability to attack.
I got firm defences, but lacked the right offence to take them down. That was what these fools thought.
"This…"
"You can fly, there is a hole filled with enemies nearby. Let's go there and watch me burn everything," I didn't even stand in my place after saying that. While I was coming here, I spotted two holes with enemies nearby, ones that I decided to take later after taking down this hole.
However I met with something I wanted since coming here, met the real gods! But these dudes were much more stubborn than the Berserkers, even more annoyingly stupid than my jumper!
I moved, and after a few minutes of hesitation, I noticed they came after me.
Their speed wasn't that bad. In less than ten minutes, we arrived over the space of another pit.
"These are our allies! Don't…"
Before Clatinberg would say his warning, I interrupted him with my actions.
I already got a bone out, and activated it. It was a mere fine gold grade dark realm bone, and it was enough to activate it during the time I took to arrive here.
As I released the bone, it exploded, and the entire world changed in their eyes.
I made sure they'd stay out of harm. After all, it wasn't my intention to kill or harm them, I just wanted to scare them and teach them a lesson.
I, Hye, the human kid, wasn't someone that could accept insults without paying them back double!
"If I wanted, I could have killed your entire people without even you noticing or having the chance to defend against my attack," I turned and gave them such a gaze, like a real god looking at mere mortals.
And from the look of horror over their faces, I knew I got the result I wanted.
"I didn't want to do it this way, after all I came here to save all of you. But as you already have such bullshit deep in your heads, let me show you the truth with actions and facts, not mere words."
Without even saying a single word, I looked up, spoke to the air as if I got mad or something, "Open a portal, one that leads to ground zero of mine."
[Right away]
The one standing on the other end realised what I wanted to do. Or that dude was already shocked by how I did things and decided to follow me blindly without any question.
"Come," a portal opened, one that led to my ground zero, "let me open your eyes over the truth, and wipe clean all the sh*t you heard since your birth."
I didn't turn around while moving my chariot through the portal, "if you didn't come, I swear I'd go back and wipe out your entire race," and to force them to follow, I left such threatening words before vanishing through the portal.
I got to make them follow me one way or another. When I returned back, I made sure to tell that dude on the other side of the system to keep this portal open until they made up their minds.
"I'm going to follow you alone," and when I thought they'd not come after a few minutes, Clatinberg flashed out from the portal.
"Fine," I knew he feared taking down all of their top leaders if they followed me. In fact, I didn't need to do any of such low tricks.
If I wanted them dead, I got endless ways to do it that made me lazy even to think about them.
"Where are we right now?" I asked, while looking around, trying to recall what portals Lily pointed at that led to zones with portals.
And when I failed to recall anything, I decided to pick one and pass through it.
"I don't know, might be the base of your dirty people who came to invade and exterminate us!"
That dude was full of bullshit! "I will take you to a place, a world, one that has their people held captive by the ones you are calling allies," I said before moving towards that portal, "follow me. And make sure to not stay far away, or else you'll get killed."
"..."
He was still sceptical about his earlier decision to come. And if not for my threat, this dude wouldn't have moved and followed me.
Such a race… It seemed they lacked any speck of curiosity, not like how humans acted at least.
I appeared at a random zone of mine. I found a giant portal in the distance, just like the one that led to the world of gods.
"This…"
"This is part of the small universe you and other nineteen races are trapped inside," I paused before adding, "soon enough you'll see the truth. Follow me."
"What are you trying to let me see?" he followed, and at last his curiosity triumphed over his hatred and enmity towards me.
"I'm going to take you to visit another race world, one that's trapped in here like yours. I'll make you watch the ones you call friends and allies kill others, try to destroy others' worlds… I'm going to open your eyes to the bitter grand lie you and your ancestors were victims to."
I knew my words wouldn't leave a mark in his soul for now. All he saw was the grand number of my forces going towards the same portal we were heading towards.
"Lord, you came?" and just when I got closer, one of my generals, one that was picked by Lily before, was standing next to this portal. "This is…"
"Tell me, what world lies on the next side of this portal?" I asked, while ignoring the part related to the origins of this Clatinberg.
The latter stood his distance away from my general, seemingly feeling a bit weird and conflicted about what was going to happen.
I ignored him, totally focused on my general.
"This portal leads to the world of Aerisheons," he paused before adding, "the enemy is killing them like killing weeds! We are trying our best to stop such massacres, but the world out there is quite vast and a bit problematic."
"In which way?" I didn't get why this dude was still standing outside and not in there to lead such a brutal battle.
"That world is covered entirely with water!" he said, in some sort of defence in my silent accusations coming from my eyes, "I don't know how to swim."
"You…" He was one of the Hectors, and it just was unbelievable that he didn't know how to swim!
If a word would get stuck with Hectors, then they were an aquatic race. And yet that dude here seemed to be an exception for that.
