Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Chapter 215 Execution

The next morning.

When Zick met with Celwent in the hall.

What Zick requested as remittance to Celwent, for his past disrespectful action was very simple-

To provide a base for Zick to use and all the data about the current technology. A prize that made Celwent fall into a state of stillness.

There was no reason to make up an excuse, as the republic would have to fulfill his demand anyway. But Zick still gave one anyway.

His companion, Yuriel was interested in researching the Xespic and every other thing. And Zick was just fulfilling the needs of his subordinate here.

Zick did not even bother to pretend anymore, showing his usual expressionless face, even as he walked towards the execution ground.

Celwent could only agree to Zick's demand in the end. He did not dare to refuse him.

Even without concentrating, Zick could hear the announcement out the headquarters, as he walked to the entrance alongside Celwent and others.

"These are the people who caused the incident last night! They conducted illegal research on a dragon egg, offending sir dragon!"

The citizens all showed either furious or dissatisfaction on their faces. Because of what happened yesterday, many properties were damaged.

Glass was the main commodity that was damaged in this incident.

"Hmph, they are getting what they deserve!"

"That's right, because of what they did, we had to pay."

"But still...Executing people like this, is it really alright?"

"It doesn't matter much, the punishment for experimenting with no permission from the authorities — is a death sentence anyway."

Many talked with each other, looking at what was happening before the headquarters of Glazier Rex.

There have been very few instances where such an action was performed. The citizens too understood the reason behind this public execution.

The existence of a dragon was already rooted in the mind of everyone. Its overwhelming strength, enough to destroy the Xespic, which was like an indestructible machine in their mind with just his bare hand, made them all have a sense of reverence towards Zick.

No matter how much human civilization developed, they would never be a match for a dragon — such thought appeared in their minds.

As Zick walked out of the entrance, almost everyone's gaze moved to him. Silence prevailed among the crowd, making Celwent squint his eyes.

The scene before him just showed the amount of dominance Zick held. The moment he stepped out of the entrance, it was like time had frozen in place.

'Even I did not have this amount of control over their mind...' Celwent began shaking his head, comparing himself to Zick as a waste of time.

The sun had already risen from the horizon, spreading its soft glow on the masses below.

Most of the executives working for Glazier Rex were gathered here, by Celwent's order.

No one dared look arrogant before Zick, they all had their head toward the ground.

Zick, who was making Arianell walk this time, looked at the stage that was prepared before the headquarters. Around 22 people, ranging from young to elderly were dressed in white clothes.

Huisel, the head researcher was also among them.

Truthfully, Celwent would find out that Zick was aware of his involvement with the experiment. It was all thanks to Huisel, who had said that the chairman was also a sponsor the first time he met Zick.

'But that is only after a thorough investigation is run on it, by then it doesn't matter if they find out.' Zick was surprised Yeolen did not report it in the end.

'Did she deduce my true intentions? I cannot underestimate human intelligence.'

Celwent was very busy from yesterday night, he had to either dispose of or suppress anyone aware of his involvement in the experiment.

Luckily, not many knew of the existence of X-gold, hence he was able to take care of most of them in such a small amount of time.

An abnormal expression that exhibited a sense of desolateness, could be seen on all of the researcher's faces.

Most people would think that this researcher had already fallen into the pit of despair, but Zick was able to tell that their soul was in scrambles, it was done forcefully.

If left alone like that, these people would die sooner or later by themselves.

'As I thought, the chances of him presenting sane people had an abysmal possibility. These people might spill the beans and expose his connection to the research Inevitably after all.' Zick crossed his hands and looked at the execution coldly.

He was not interested in the death of some unknown person.

The soldiers began climbing up stage one by one, they moved systematically with no sense of disorganization.

The soldier wore a blackish-blue uniform belonging to the military. All of them stood behind the researchers and lifted their heads by the hair forcefully.

Taking out a slim gun made of white metal and glass, the soldiers, or more specifically executors began taking out tubes filled with green liquid. They all started to load it into the injection.

The shiny green liquid was a poison that killed the one injected with it by causing a heart attack in 15 seconds. And it was also the most common method of executing criminals in the republic.

The executors began injecting the syringe into the nape of all the researchers. Slowly, the green poison was injected into their body.

A pained expression appeared on the faces of these researchers. They began groaning in pain while holding their chest, right where the heart was located.

Brainwashing them did not make their senses vanish, they all could feel the heart-wrenching pain.

Almost at the same time, all of their bodies froze in place. Their hearts had stopped beating.

Looking at Zick's expression, Celwent stayed silent. He expected a little more reaction, but as long as no dissatisfaction could be seen on Zick'z face, it was alright.

At this point, Celwent felt something was weird too. But he had no time to think about it right now, so he walked forward and activated his Mindxec.

"Everyone, the Republic of Threkert is a free nation, where everyone holds their individual rights! This is only possible because of the cooperation of everyone in the nation. Rules and regulations are the most important factor that..."

Celwent began giving a grand speech to everyone, which was also being broadcasted throughout the nation.

Zick returned to his room not interested in hearing Celwent's speech. Yuriel and Arianell returned alongside him too.

Zick stopped training halfway through yesterday night, as his higher form of energy could not strengthen his soul in the slightest. He had hit a certain limit at last.

Even though his potential was very high, it seems like he had hit a different kind of limit. It was probably faced by every being who wished to ascend to godhood.

'It can't go on like this, I will have to find out what was the difference between Reikel's higher form of energy and mine. That is the best lead I have at the moment.' Zick thought while leaning within the elevator.

Entering his room, Zick and Arianrll sat on the bed, while Yuriel stood upright, like a spear.

"Well then, tell me every last information you have gathered on the ruling forces in this place." Zick began hearing Yuriel speak seriously.

It was as he had predicted, there were four continents on this side of the mist of annihilation.

Every continent was ruled by a single force, either a monarchy society or a republic.

The strongest among these ruling forces was — the Deshrart empire, a monarchy state.

No one has dared ever to offend this behemoth, before it, the other ruling forces were like chickens or fledglings.

The other nations did not interest Zick by much, they all had almost identical strengths.

'I might gain the most benefit from this Deshrart empire. I will take over that empire through the golems later on.' Zick did not have any intention to move. Just the golems were more than enough to get the job done.

If I counted just the ones that Zick had in his space ring, there were only a few thousand. But all of these golems' had peak master rank or higher strength.

"Alright, there is no need for us to move immediately yet. The story of their being a dragon in the Garbeller empire is interesting, but it is just a rumor in the end."

"For now, we will take refuge in this republic. You can continue stimulating the things I asked, I will be moving independently for quite a while." Zick looked out of the window.

With nothing else to do, Zick planned on exploring all the danger zones or anything special in this realm.

He could only look blindly in hope that there might be anything that will help him in this place.

Arianell tilted her head: "What about me?"

Zick nodded his head: "You will come with me, I will teach you how to fight and make you gain some experience."

"Ahm!" Arianell felt excited thinking about roaming with Zick.
