Chapter 1496 The Dark Planet
Chapter 1496 The Dark Planet
"It's all dark, I already told you that," he looked annoyed by answering my questions. And I got no time to babysit such a dude.
"And?" That wasn't the answer I waited for.
"To see it, you have to get at least less than ten thousand miles away from it," he finally gave in and told me something I could work with.
"And that is how far from here exactly?" That was the second question I wanted an answer to.
"Well… Given our current location and speed, we can arrive there after two days."
"T… Two days?!! What the heck went wrong in your ancestors' minds?!!!" I didn't see that coming! I thought at most the distance between the two worlds was one day at most.
But it seemed like it was more than two days! That was pretty damn insane!
"That's not on us to blame…" he seemed to get fazed off by the logic behind my last comment, "we had many portals linking the two worlds together. However after those damn bastards invaded us, everything changed and all of these portals got either destroyed or controlled by the enemy."
I got what he meant, and it seemed the enemy used the time loop to the fullest and best uses, making me believe this time loop was a curse for the angels, not a way to survive!
If this kept going on, then no hope was there for these angels!
"Fine," I returned to do what I was doing all this time, releasing bubbles and releasing the attacks stored inside all over the place.
At this point, I turned into public enemy number one for everyone here. Both sides took me as their enemy, and for sure they were quite puzzled by what I was truly doing here.
I didn't belong to the enemy, and surely I didn't belong to the angel side as well. Or else how come I started killing all without any discrimination or intention to save them?
I didn't care about what others might think. And even if my true intentions got missed or misinterpreted thanks to my actions, I didn't give a damn.
All I cared about was to hurry up, arrive in time and start saving that world out there and its moons before things would turn to a no return point.
At some point I started to wonder if this was my first time being here or if I got trapped in the same time loop? Kept coming here one time after another, doing things wrongly every single time?
Damn! Such a thought was quite scary!
If that was true, then how come I'd know I wasn't reliving the same life over and over again?
For a few minutes there I got overwhelmed by such thoughts until I decided to try out something.
"We are going out for a visit," I instantly took out my staff, opened a portal and jumped through it towards the outer zone I just came from.
The only way to tell me I was living in a time loop or not was this method. If I was trapped inside, then I'd not be able to come out.
The moment I passed through the portal, I found myself intact and safe outside. I heaved a deep sigh of relief, while the chariot got void of any angel.
That wasn't weird and quite expected. The ones trapped in the time loop wouldn't be able to get out until the time loop got broken.
After all, what I saw was just a false version of them, like stored data that wouldn't survive outside any PC.
I sighed, passed again through the portal and returned back to the point I vanished from. There I spotted the few angels who were inside my chariot reappearing again, like some sort of magic.
What a damn cool and brutal trick this was! Just seeing this made me realise I truly didn't get anything yet from this world.
Anything I'd do or get from here would be pointless if I didn't end up breaking this damn curse.
And thinking about me turning into some sort of data drove me crazier. I planned to not keep my hands once arriving at that planet and group of moons.
As for the right method to save that place, I already have a few ideas to test out.
For a start, the planet out there already has a huge defect. It wasn't a normal planet, formed out of a solid rocky layer and such, but it was filled with caves, underground tunnels, and such.
In the eyes of anyone, such a place would be quite hard to save if strong and brutal was spread there. I could understand such logic, but there was something none would understand or do but me.
I got a crazy thought out, one that wouldn't just save this planet, but also solve the entire problem of protecting other moons down from the root.
However… It was indeed quite crazy!
One hour passed, ten hours passed, half a day passed, one day passed, and finally two days passed. I kept using my shields without pause, releasing tons of attacks out, killing endless numbers of both sides during this fight.
To be honest, I was shocked by the scale of this war. This was perhaps the second most populated race I ever met here after those damn lucky bastards; the jumpers!
Just during the past two days, I met billions, even tens of billions of forces on both sides, fighting among themselves, without showing any shred of mercy or hesitation.
I got interested in all these formidable looking metallic fortresses, and ended up deciding to take a tour around and take all these different models from both sides after I'd stabilised the risking danger on the dark planet.
I decided to call that planet and its moons the dark side of the angels, or the dark side of the world. While calling this planet the dark planet, the moons surrounding it were called the dark moons.
And when I got out at last from the endless ocean of metallic fortresses and endless forces, I got to spot that world at last.
