1537 The Old Earth
“Inventory?”
“It’s like your home,” I started to feel a little annoyed by this dude. Tsk! I never expected for a race to show up and compete with me over the souls.
Without enough souls, I wouldn’t have been able to summon you in the first place! What a dumb race these Kings were!
Next I started to summon five hundred million of the Kings. Summoning them was quite easy and fast actually. I just told the system to take all the needed amount of my souls, give me my Kings in return. Just simply like that!
“Now that army is ready… And now all I need to do is wait for the merge to get done,” I stretched my arms, and felt the urge to sleep.
The merge would take more hours to finish. And I lost track of when it was last time I ever slept.
Sleeping wasn’t something essential for me right now. My power increased by a significant margin, and my body evolved and was blessed by the gods.
But it felt like a mental habit, something I needed to do from time to time to feel normal and human. So I went into the deep champers of my chariot, randomly selected one, and slept inside.
I didn’t miss to look at the closed door off the room which had Hilary. Every time I recalled what happened to her, how she ended up being a totally different person, one of my enemies, I couldn’t help but feel bad for her, for Karoline, for anyone who fell in love with me.
I got such a weird curse, and didn’t know how to remove it. Such a curse was something that wouldn’t endanger my life or something, but it was a thing that made me feel frustrated every time I thought about it.
Why the heck did that happen to me? Why couldn’t I have girls like any other hero, enjoy little time with each, and have fun?
Tsk!
I got the feeling that this time would be the last free time I’d ever had for a long time. I couldn’t even guess for how long the upcoming war would last. Would it take weeks? Months? Or even years?
I wasn’t feeling any nervousness at all. I got lots of forces on my side. And even if the enemy called for reinforcements, I also was waiting for mine to arrive.
Even if there was a new player in the game, like the Hescos and other races coming from different worlds at my apocalypse, I didn’t feel any pressure at all from them.
I only had one problem to care and worry about, the bombs. Once I’d clear away that threat, then I got zero worry at all.
I slept for long hours, and when I woke up, I felt the world returned back to the same.
[Are you here? Why aren’t you replying to me?!]
And just when I opened my eyes, feeling a little headache for unknown reason, I saw the messages sent by Lily flashing one after another in front of my eyes.
She kept repeating the same content with different words.
[Sorry, was sleeping a little] I stretched and yawned, while looking around, [is the merge done?]
[Sleeping? Right now? I can’t believe how calm or cold hearted you are!]
[I’m just human] I laughed, [Tell me, did the merge end?]
[Our zone already merged with the new world ten hours ago! And I tried to reach you many times, and yet you never answered!]
[Sorry about that, but it’s a common knowledge that when one sleeps, he won’t be able to hear or say anything]
[Tsk! You want to give me a stroke or something? Hurry up and get up! The war has already started!]
[Did all the world’s finish merging?] I yawned again, got my body off the bed, and started to walk up to the deck of my chariot.
[Almost half of the entire zones and worlds we have got merged already. And the enemy had most of their worlds merged. Not to mention many new worlds are already here as well]
[And?] I already expected all this. And that wasn’t the answer I wanted to hear.

[Don’t tell me we are losing!] I raised an eyebrow, not from her words, but from the new world that appeared in front of me.
Sun! We got some sun at last! It was a damn big orange circle in the middle of the blue sky! This wasn’t a dream, right? This was totally like the old Earth!
Bright and clear sky, with faint white clouds occasionally appearing here and there. Pure and clear wind bellowed from the north, bringing a fresh cold feeling to me.
The sun felt warm, not that kind of burning heat that I always felt when the groups of suns appeared before on the new Earth after the apocalypse.
This… This was just like the Earth I heard all about in legends and old records. It was just like the couple peaceful hours I accidentally lived through when I got sent back in time to Earth.
[We aren’t! It’s just the scale of the battles that extends beyond what all of us anticipated! Not to mention there are new races, and most started to turn their weapons and armies towards us as well]
[You know this is quite expected] I sucked in a deep breath, feeling the clean and refreshing air that went into my lungs. “This is… Just awesome!”
If I wanted before to win this quest and control this new world out of my desire to get done of all this sh*t and have my long desired rest and life of my dreams, then right now I wanted to do it one hundred times more!
This world… It was quite worthy to be my own world! The world which I’d spend the rest of life at without getting even bored.
