637 I'm An Anomaly!!!
A souler general for each one hundred million souls I’d collect. This was enough to sustain this general for a hundred days.
I wouldn’t believe I’d stay a hundred day without having a big war!
But a general meant nothing without an army! In fact, what made this general’s worth this high in my eyes was the big souler army I had here.
If I didn’t have such a huge number of soulers under my command already, then this general wouldn’t make any difference.
So I had to first work towards amassing soulers, then seek generals and elites later on.
I thought about taking elites out, but thought it wasn’t needed. If a general vowed his allegiance to me willingly, then the elites wouldn’t have a saying after that.
So I stood up there and watched that thick black fog tube expanding and reaching many places.
He seemed to not believe what the first few soulers he met said. So he took almost an hour, moving around and almost speaking with everyone.
My soulers were one of the earliest warriors I got. They fought alongside me in many battles, witnessed me triumph over my enemies and create my legend.
They stayed long enough to know how generous and mighty I was as a lord, how capable I was as well.
I was able to keep them alive for all this time without even struggling once! Not a single souler was lost thanks to the lack of souls.
All of my losses came in battles. And that was a fact no one would ever deny.
After one hour, the tube started to shrink fast, giving me the impression that all of that was that general’s real body.
If so, then this general was in another realm than these common soulers down below.
“What did you find out?” as he returned, he kept glaring at me without saying a single word.
It seemed he was shocked, or doubted what he heard. But doubting all of these soulers’ words? That would mean that the general had something loose in his head.
“They spoke about someone that can’t be you,” the first thing he said was that. “How come you, a mere human, a weak and worthless human, end up having such power and might?”
“So they told you about my deeds,” I jumped over his useless remarks, “what do you think? Isn’t it cool to serve a lord like me?”
“You spoke about reviving my race, how?” his eyes shone, seemingly he was taking me more seriously than before.
“You need souls, and I can deliver any amount you need,” I shrugged, “I just need you to fight for me, kill all my enemies, and let me triumph over this apocalypse.”
“So your dream is only to be a lord over the world? How low of a dream is that!”
“Come back!” I instantly called back all my soulers and stored them inside my inventory. He seemed puzzled with my actions, and the next one made his two ruby eyes look at me in a fiercer way.
“Let’s go,” I simply summoned a portal, “I’ll show you that being a single world lord isn’t even close to being called a dream to me.”
I moved my chariot and passed through my portal. The next scene that appeared in front of my eyes was my second Earth world.
“This…”
“Let me introduce this to you,” I waved my hands around, pointing at the many cities and towns underbuilt in a large stretch of land, reaching to the end of my sight, “it’s my world. Here, I’m the lord of this world.”
“…”
“I already have a world, competing in another. So thinking that my dream was to conquer a world and be its sole ruler and lord is a joke! I already achieved such a goal.”
“Then…”
“I want to win the entire apocalypse cluster fierce competition. Then I’d go out there, to that bloody alien battlefield, kill and make a big name for myself, for my race.”
I said what I had in mind, said in such honesty and sincerity. I wasn’t aiming to just become a single world lord, I wanted to be a real powerhouse in the entire universe.
I wanted my name to be famous, spread universe wide, here and in the alien universe alike.
“You want to raise up your race?” He finally got what I really wanted. And I simply nodded. “Sigh! Such a dream… Such a crazy dream really suits a crazy anomaly like you.”
“Anomaly?” The word he used to describe me piqued my interest.
“Sure! A human doing all this? Hahahaha! Even if someone told me that one of my race would fight on his own from the low point of no support or backing and climbed up to reach such a stage, I’d say he was lying to me!”
“…” It was my time to get shocked. I always thought what I did here was nothing much.
“If someone in my people back in my days did half of what you did, then he would deserve to be selected as the promising star of the new generation, and get the honour of being taught directly under my hands.”
“Thanks for the compliment,” I honestly responded to his indirectly praising words.
“I’m not trying to curry anything with you. I’m just stating facts. You did something unheard of before here. And right now you aim to get the help of my race? Without even flinching? Hesitating? Getting a scare? What’s your secret?”
“It’s my secret,” I grinned, “so I won’t tell.”
“Sigh! I heard that there were soulers staying with you for over a month! I never thought that a human like you would be able to sustain such a heavy burden. No, I never thought a race in this universe would have the way to deal with our curse.”
“I have a way,” I slowly said, “and I have confidence in not only securing what you need, but also to find other generals and awaken them from their deep slumber.”
