673 How Kingdom Hearts Work
But now, I finished all the things I didn’t catch up with during the past hours.
Looking at the progress my arms made brought a smile over my face.
“Almost done,” the progress here was much smoother than the one I did over that continent hovering over my head.
I estimated it would take another half an hour to get things done. And in less than this period of five minutes, my arms finally drew a deep line, forming a colossal triangle over Earth.
“I’m ready,” once I finished, I said to Sith, “what now?”
[Take out one of those hearts, but first let me explain what you are going to do here…]
“Ok.”
[First you gotta understand how the kingdom hearts work and why they are special. Controlling a piece of land and declaring it as your kingdom is easy to say and do. However if anyone came and invaded this land, they can easily take it over from you]
“That’s true indeed.”
[But using a kingdom heart will prevent such a thing from happening. See, it’s like a sacred decree from the universe of your right to obtain this land as yours. So no matter who comes to invade it, even if he flattened everything with ground, it still is yours and not his!]
“…!”
[In addition to that, it turned the kingdom into a living beast. Just from its name, heart, it shows this item doesn’t only give your supreme authority and sacred ownership, it also will allow your lands to expand and give birth to more lands similar to yours in energy and all features]
“Damn cool!”
[In addition to many bonuses your people will enjoy like defensive, offensive, and even cultivation and health boost, this item is considered the first step in your path in being a hegemony]
I listened to his explanation, kept nodding my head all the time. What he was saying was all new and mind blowing for me.
And it was great news as well.
[Now about what we are going to do here, we are going to declare these two pieces of land as yours using the two hearts. Not only that, we will make them parts of a single kingdom, and that has its perks…]
He paused for a second before adding:
[The two lands won’t fall and crash at each other this way. In fact, what will happen will be a merge between your kingdom and this continent, the same way of dropping a single ink drop into a basin of clear water]
“I get it!”
[No you don’t! This is something only selected figures in the entire universe experienced! So you’ll have to wait and see, to know what I’m talking about]
“O… Ok…” I didn’t get what he meant, but he was a mighty god. He had the right to say and interrupt me anytime he felt like.
[The symbol you drew will link the two hearts together. Then when the two lands would merge, the two hearts would merge as well, forming a higher grade one]
“Kingdom hearts have grades as well? Damn!”
[Don’t regret not asking for a higher grade kingdom heart, this kind of item is considered priceless and no sane one will sell it to you no matter what!]
I swallowed what I wanted to say alongside my thoughts and regrets. It was like what he said, I regretted not asking for a higher grade kingdom heart in that deal with the three sovereigns.
[The higher grade kingdom hearts can be gained by special and hard to achieve methods just like the one you are having now. If anyone offered you anything back for this newly kingdom heart of yours, will you sell it? Even if you have more kingdom hearts to spare?]
“Not a chance!” I decisively declined and without any speck of hesitation.
[That also applies to others. There are certain things that can’t be bought with money, with anything]
“I got your point, what shall I do next?” I felt like he was enjoying lecturing me about this.
[You are going to plant each heart so deep inside the pyramid you drew before. Use your arms to dig deep and then soak it with your blood at the same moment. The two must be planted and soaked at the same moment]
“That’s easy.”
[And you have to safeguard these hearts for almost an entire day]
“What?!!” This wasn’t easy! Of course guarding the one inside my capital wasn’t an issue.
But the one up there was!
“You know this big behemoth of dirt is leaning its big butt over my head right now! One day! I doubt I can stop it for that time!!”
[Don’t think it will be the same once you use your heart. In fact, once you planted the heart and it starts working its magic, you shall let it fall]
“Fall? Are you sure it’s safe?”
[Don’t doubt my words, kiddo. Just do as I say]
“Alright.”
[Also during the one day merge, the lands of yours will be determined by the furthest away forces belonging to you]
“What do you mean?”
[I mean if you keep recalling your forces like this, the final size of your kingdom will be small! Spread your forces around, let them control as much lands as they can during this day]
“This…” I paused, and seriously hesitated about agreeing on such a crazy plan!
Scattering my forces over North America? Forget about other races, doing this would give that damn bastard a chance to hunt down my forces and cause considerable losses for me!
All he needed to do was to summon a few portals and viola… His forces would ambush mine! I knew Sith’s words made sense and he was thinking of my benefit, but this was a very dangerous decision to take.
[I know what you are hesitating about. But don’t you have sh*t load of races here and in the other world? Summon them here, make them fight for you. Believe me, if you don’t reach the furthest point you can this time, you’ll deeply regret not doing it!]
