666 Despair!
Just as he said such shocking words, a mighty rumble came from the sky. When I raised my head, I couldn’t help but feel a cold shiver down my spine.
It wasn’t a simple portal! It was a link, connecting two worlds together! And what was coming through it was nothing else but another continent!
Damn! Damn! Damn! That bastard! He was bringing a continent here to crush down over my kingdom!!!
“You did your part, and it’s time for me to do mine!” I was truly shaken and shocked by all this. That continent was starting to fall freely under the effect of gravity, blocking any light and hope of survival.
“It’s pointless to do that,” just as I was about to open my profile, he said in disdain, “trying to such a big piece of continent towards your other world? You will just kill the armies you amassed and ruin the prosper world you built so far! Just abandon this cursed Earth, just go there and live the rest of your life in peace. Leave this shitty universe alone, stop butting your head in it anymore!”
Damn! He read through my mind. My hand paused for a second, as I was about to select opening portals to do exactly as he said.
I thought about shifting this deadly continent towards my second Earth. But as he said, I’d save one world on the expense of losing another one.
“Not to mention, this piece of land comes from the alien universe. Bringing it to your safe world? It’s like opening the gate wide open and inviting those barbarics over to that place! Do it, and with it you’ll lose that world forever!”
“You are mistaken…” The more he spoke, the more despair I felt. Yet under such despair, I didn’t lose the sight of the about to be extinguished light of hope.
Running away? Taking all my friends around with me and going to the safe haven of the second Earth? Abandoning all I did here and live the rest of life in peace?
It was a really tempting offer, but not for me! I wasn’t that kind of a loser, a coward who would run away when things would turn south.
“I know what I’m speaking about… You will have to lose one world, and it’s up to you to choose. But mark my words, if you selected here, I would never stop until depriving everything you got from you, ruining anything you built with your hands, leaving you behind with nothing but regret and remorse.”
“F*ck you! Who said I got only one word?!!!” I shouted, shouted with a pure desire of defiance, a will to stand even against death itself, fight against it, and even win!
“Just stay there, you son of b*tch! I’ll show you a miracle, one that will blow your mind until I come and blow your head apart with my glaive!”
He was right in everything he said. He laid out such a deadly and unstoppable trap for me and my forces. I thought I had the upper hand here, but it was just a joke!
He was just toying around with me. Dammit! That son of b*tch! Who was he exactly?
He knew how I thought, what I felt, my goals and aims here. He spoke this time as if he was someone who came from the future, a future in which I became a mighty figure there, a future that spanned from the moment I came here.
Could this be possible? I didn’t have time to mind myself with such things. But without doubt, the universe was vast and there were many abilities like mine, the jumper, and Hilary.
Was he that angel race enemy of Hilary? Was he the person she pointed at?
I didn’t buy it! This dude… He wasn’t aiming at Hilary at all. He was just aiming at me, and that jumper. For a reason, that jumper seemed to be the keystone in building up my fame and strength later on.
I didn’t get it, but I had no time to think deeply about it.
Like I declared, who said I only got one world? Who said I was out of options?
“Screw you! Do you think this will change anything? I’ll go and kill that dear jumper while you are trying to face the inevitable!”
*Fwoosh!*
In the next moment, a portal popped up and that son of b*tch vanished into it.
He shouted like this when I started using my techniques. The solution was simple. I got another world, a scary and very hungry world for anything thrown at it!
My shadow world!
And right now, I was merging the two techniques together to form the biggest spherical portal I could make.
“Go up there!” this time, I didn’t control the thick arms around to grab anything else but that huge globular shaped portal itself.
I held it, and started to push it with all my might up there. In the next few minutes, this huge portal crashed at the colossal piece of land falling on top of my head.
*Grrr!*
The clash between the two created such a weird sound, as if some sort of a monster was groaning in a fierce way. Weirdly enough, this voice came from my portal, not that continent!
[Be careful! That bastard is coming for you!] Even when I was doing my best to push my portal against that continent, I sent such a warning to the jumper.
[I saw what’s coming from the sky, what the heck is that?!!!]
[It’s a continent, coming to crush all of us underneath it!]
[It didn’t touch the Hector continent, so I’m going to be safe]
[Idiot! Do you think I have time or power to come and support you now?]
[…]
He was trying to get on my nerves, but missed this point totally.
[You won’t come? No f*cking way!!]
[I’m going to stop this, but another army will come to help you over]
