677 The Merge
[… That connection will run through your body like blood running through your veins. When you give birth to kids, the one with the strongest abilities and suited to lead after you will carry the mark of this connection. It will be awakened when you pass away. So don’t mind this connection and let it grow stronger, don’t fight or resist it]
“I see…” I was indeed trying to resist that link until I understood what it was. So I let it grow and didn’t resist anymore.
This helped in making the connection grow stronger faster. But the remarkable change that happened came when the two hemispheres reached the hearts together.
They reached their hearts at the same moment. All I felt was a silent booming that I only felt its aftermath in the form of violent shaking and trembling.
All that started from my heart, spread all over my body, making me feel a moment of real panic before everything calmed down as fast as it appeared.
I felt like my soul was getting squeezed by a formidable energy before it let it go. Then like a dam was broken, the connection felt like the raging water of a flood.
The connection showed a remarkable improvement, one that seemed like it got many folds stronger than before.
It seemed the addition of my halved technique to the hearts added something that link lacked and desperately needed.
*Rumble!*
This didn’t come from anywhere but myself! I looked at my body to see it shining in bright blue light, before looking around and saw the same light shining from the two holes as well.
[It’s time] Sith said, [The two hearts will start to merge. Under any condition, don’t let anyone trespassing towards the hole]
“I got it!” I finally was relieved from being a bystander and was going to act like a real player in this war.
But first I had to see what this blue light was for.
The shining kept for the next half an hour. And during this period, the continent up north started to shine with that light, which spread all over it like it was making a shining blue coat for it.
As for Earth, the entire capital of mine also had the same effect, and it kept spreading all over the world beyond the borders of my capital.
From what I noticed, the intensity of that light was sharper at the area marked by my kingdom symbol. Beyond this, the blue light started to grow fader the further it went.
Then the continent up above started to show something interesting. “It’s turning into an illusionary state… Quite interesting!”
The continent high above started to grow illusionary while it kept descending at a fixed pace. It wasn’t slow or fast, but it gave me the impression it was getting on top of my head in no time.
As it got in such a state, I lost all fears and worries. It wouldn’t cause any damage to me or my forces, and wouldn’t touch a single hair of my people.
How amazing this was!
As for the Earth, the capital there didn’t show much changes. I didn’t hurry to move and waited for the two lands to merge together.
The most exciting part was when that continent passed through me. It felt like I was passing through a cold layer of ocean, without feeling much more than that.
However, just as the continent passed through me in its journey to merge with my capital, I got to know how scary big this continent was.
It was at least ten miles in thickness! Damn! It was indeed the whole continent, not just a shallow piece of it!
That bastard… He brought such a behemoth here, wanting to really smash me and my forces to a meat pie.
The continent finally passed through me, and when it did I saw it merging with my lands. The merge was simple, like adding two drops of water together, mixing them slowly and steadily under the force guiding this process.
The more of that continent entered through Earth, the stronger the connection I felt became.
*Rumble!*
Just as the two lands merged and became one, the illusionary form of the continent started to grow corporeal, and that caused a series of violent shaking all over the world.
I knew the danger was mostly gone. But under such fierce quakes, I was afraid over my capital’s building and defensive structures.
Yet after the passage of an hour, nothing happened to my capital even when the trembling grew fiercer and came at a faster pace.
During this time, all I could see of the merge was the change in colour of the ground down below.
Earth was brown in colour in most places. But when that new land merged with it, the colour of my kingdom ground changed to become darker, closer to be black than anything else.
Then it started to show another change in colour at some places. I could see a broad spot of red, green, yellow, and even blue. And these colours didn’t stop just at my capital lands, but also spread all over the ground around, until vanishing up in the horizon.
Next thing was the hole. As I planned, the two holes fell over each other, merging together to form a single hole.
The previous holes were one hundred metres radius. But the newly formed one looked much smaller. It looked like the more progress this merge achieved, the thinner this hole became.
Right now it was less than twenty metres in radius, and I got the impression it would end up to be smaller than one metre or something.
Aside from all these, there was nothing much to tell. I couldn’t see through the thick layers of dirt and rocks of the ground, making me unable to see through what was going on.
But I was certain of one thing, the merge was processing smoothly at this point. The tremblings weren’t just the only thing to tell me about that.
