1133 It Got Born Already!
“Getting back is the best course of action right now…” I slowly muttered while controlling my chariot to retreat. When I just started pulling back, the red beams began to rain down at me again as if they just remembered me.
For a reason, the angels behind all this were trying to prevent me from escaping. Knowing this made me want to retreat and run away much more than ever.
I didn’t hesitate to push my chariot forward without any regard to the falling red beams.
Before this, any red beam falling over me was singular. Other star weapons high in the sky above would have to wait before the first attack waned.
But this time was different. The red beams kept raining down on me like sun rays penetrating a thick layer of clouds on a sunny winter day.
Moving forward for almost half an hour felt like an entire lifetime to me. The speed of my chariot was somehow affected, and getting away from the falling beams wasn’t an easy task like before.
After half an hour, all this changed. The red beams ceased to come at me and I finally managed to get through. By random check, I found that almost half of the huge energy reserve I left before in my chariot was depleted.
I felt happy and lucky about this, and also felt lots of pain. I already used much of my energy reserve to make sure my chariot would be running for long months and even years.
But half of all this was gone simply in mere half an hour. What the heck did these angels do exactly? Did they use all the tens of thousands of star weapons above to stop me?
I looked above with slight fear. If not for my preemptive move to stock the chariot with tons of energy, I’d be gone by now.
Looking at the illuminated sky with all these red stars made me heave a sigh of relief. They indeed used all the star weapons high above to stop me. And in the end they failed.
Even if I had to pay such a cost, it didn’t matter. I could get tons more of these energy crystals whenever I wanted. But no money could buy myself a new life if I ever lost this one.
*Rumble!*
Just as I was feeling lucky about my hard escape, an ear deafening rumbling came from the direction of my shields.
Right now my shields and the zone inside turned exactly to be like a burning hot red star. I could even feel the heat coming out from it. Yet I couldn’t see anything else but redness swirling inside.
The shields turned this part of the world into a gigantic red ball, and right now that ball was shivering like it was an egg going to crack open.
*Rumble!*
Another shocking rumbling came from the direction of my shields. And with it, a violent shockwave erupted that drove away my chariot for a few miles.
When I stabilised, I finally could see what happened right there. The entire area around the now shimmering red shields got scorched by invisible fire.
The ground was tainted with redness and got covered with red sand. The rocks out there were smashed into tiny grains of sand. And if I was waiting just outside the shields when that happened, I doubted my energy reserve would be enough to sustain such damage.
Just from the backlash alone almost one tenth of the remaining energy reserves got depleted. What the heck happened in this world exactly? How come all the incoming attacks managed to deplete my enormous energy reserves like running water?
Seeing all this devastation and scary powers made me wonder how humans in my past life managed to survive for a hundred years.
It was a remarkable feat. One that was indeed aligned with the old saying: Cowards tend to live longer than brave ones!
Humans were the weakest in the chain of food back in my days. So it was normal that no one paid them any heed. Such impossible and scary challenges came to me as I was just showing power that humans shouldn’t possess.
If I was weaker, I was sure none of this would ever have happened to me. And despite knowing this, I wasn’t regretting anything.
Being powerful was a must, and the price I had to pay for that was acceptable. Nothing would pay me back for being weak, for lowering my head, for being a coward.
*Fwoosh!*
Just when I was lost in thoughts, I heard such a weird sound coming from the direction of that small red star. When I turned to look, I got all the hair over my body standing to no end.
In front of me, a few miles away, the ground that was dyed red before was now covered in pale and ugly looking yellow.
Huge bodies of zombies were coming out nonstop from inside the red star. And looking at their shape and build, I felt little familiarity with the colossal zombie that was absorbed into the grand portal just minutes ago.
“Don’t tell me…” a frightening thought flashed past my mind, one that I never dared to believe. However, looking at the endless stream of these giant zombies made me lean towards it a little more.
This place… It was the first place to ever give birth to a high level den!
Looking at the rapidly increasing numbers of these giant zombies made me believe this was true. There was no other explanation about it. The angels did something using the help of that mysterious being on the other side of the grand portal, turning this place into a frightening high class zombie den.
The zombies that came out paled in comparison to the colossal zombie in terms of size and power. Yet they were all freakishly strong dudes.
The smallest was ten metres in height, and the biggest was almost thirty. They moved slowly, like small hills crushing the ground in their path.
I frowned for a few minutes, and during which they managed to cross a few miles already. They were halfway through the distance between me and that den.
“I have to pray that what these zombie masters told me is true or else…” if this happened anywhere else, I might not get such a fear and worry.
But this place was already close to my capital. And it lay just in the heart of my kingdom.
Letting these zombies roam freely in the world wasn’t going to work. They would turn my kingdom into tatters and ruins just in the time of the fifth quest.
“Thundering Might!” Despite failing miserably last time, I had to use this skill again. Without it, whoever I’d summon to stop these zombies would have to face the wrath of the star weapons high above.
I summoned tons of shields this time before filling the entire space inside with my warriors. “Kill every single one of them, don’t let anyone escape!” I ordered before moving away and resumed doing this again and again.
For ten times I repeated such steps. I created ten huge zones to entrap the zombie den and zombies coming out from it inside. From high above, one could see the ten zones I created as a grand circle surrounding the zombies and their den in the centre.
I lost count over how much I summoned my warriors for this task. I’d say they were in tens of millions, perhaps even in hundreds of millions. But that didn’t matter.
I lacked nothing but warriors at this moment.
“Time to deal with you…” after I’d done that, I turned my gaze and attention towards the risk that I neglected from the start; the star weapons.
They kept interfering nonstop in my actions. With their grand number and versatile effects, they managed to force my hand here and form such scary den.
Taking these red beams out of the picture would have eased my task. However I knew with the power of fallen gods I have right now at my disposal, taking down them would be a hard and long task.
[I need energy crystals, everything you can get] but I knew of a way to bypass any hindrance and let my dear fallen gods take down these star weapons.
[I’ll send you what I have, but if you need more than you’ll have to give me few days]
[Send what you got for now] after closing the chat with him, I opened my class and instantly summoned one more thousand of the fallen gods.
“Eat these stats, become stronger and be ready to fight,” I threw many stats on my chariot, while telling this to all my fallen gods.
They had to be in top shape to take these damn weapons down. All this I was inside the last shield I built.
As for how to take these weapons down, it was simple. The angels provided aid to protect the star weapons from me using the defensive star weapons.
