692 The Flag Appears
With each wave of attack, many portals got crushed into pieces. In less than two more hours, the portals got all damaged and the enemy lost its way to get reinforcements.
The rest was a simple story for me and my boys. I kept fighting here for one more hour before finally leaving this area for my boys to handle.
I wasted lots of time here, and right now the merge should be completed.
I moved up to the surface in the middle of deep red coloured waters, while feeling more excited about the final merge of the two kingdom hearts with my kingdom.
What would it be like? What changes would happen?
I was dying to know that!
As for the current fights, they didn’t need to press forward anymore. The western side would stop fighting by my orders.
All my focus should remain on the eastern battle. As for north, things went calmer during the past hours as the enemy got killed and the entire region got under my control again.
I didn’t intend to let the northern army stay there. But first I went outside to check my capital.
The first thing I noticed was the new halo that appeared over the ground. It looked like Earth got a new layer made out of pure green energy, starting from my capital and expanding outside in all directions.
The further it went, the fainter it got.
As I went over the capital, I found that buildings there got covered with the same coat of energy.
Even the training grounds also got the same, with waters inside it dyed green instead of all the redness that prevailed over the ocean near the coast.
Other than this, I didn’t find anything special about it. I doubted my eyes and started to roam around, trying to see what went differently here.
[Congratulations on merging a kingdom heart of green grade with your lands]
Just as I spent a few minutes flying without finding anything worthy of note, I received this message from the system.
[Now you can give your kingdom a name, give it a symbol, and will have a flag inserted in the heart of the capital]
[What name will you choose?]
[Note: this name won’t change. It will be spread universe wide according to the system regulations. You are the first to acquire and establish a kingdom in the entire apocalypse cluster you are in]
“Hmm… So it didn’t show any change yet because of the system? Alright… I chose the Kingdom of Heaven as the name.”
[The Kingdom of Heaven will be the new name of your kingdom. Do you confirm?]
“I confirm!”
[The name is chosen]
[The kingdom will be linked to the Human race. Please confirm]
“I confirm!”
[You need to draw the symbol of your kingdom now]
Just as the message appeared, a floating screen appeared with black white space inside. I looked at it for a second, not knowing what to do.
[You can draw over this board using your fingers]
“Cool!”
I started to draw the simple triangle while its top launched rays of light everywhere. It didn’t take a minute for me to finish.
[Is this the final symbol you want? You can ask for the system guidance and suggestions about the final version of your primitive drawing]
“P… Primitive? Thanks for your humbleness system… Ok, show me your brilliant touches, artistic system!”
[Here are the twelve versions we prepared for you. Please select one and confirm]
“Damn!”
Just seeing the versions this system created made me feel how bad my drawing was!
The system said that I wanted to draw a pyramid with shining rays coming out from its top. It generated different versions with different colours, designs, and even added a few touches like an arc of colours hovering over the top!
I scanned the twelve designs, feeling that everyone was better than the others.
“I selected this,” but one of them stood out the most. It was a red pyramid with golden rays coming out from its top. The top part was dyed golden yellow, with orange edges.
As for the rays, they were in the shapes of arms, resembling the arms of my second technique. It has an arc of rainbow colours hovering over it, as a symbol of peace and prosperity.
I liked it!
[Do you confirm this?]
[Please note: one selected, the symbol of your kingdom can’t be changed again!]
“I confirm!” I didn’t hesitate as this symbol felt really amazing.
[The symbol is created. A flag will rise up from the central zone of your capital. You can take this flag with you wherever you go. As long as you own this flag, you are the ruler of the kingdom. Your offspring will have a chance to hold this flag after your passing according to certain rules]
[Good luck human race Hye, the first king in the apocalypse cluster here]
[As you are the first to gain such honour, your name will be spread all over the universe in a universe wide notification]
“Thanks,” I didn’t know if this was a good or bad thing. But if it was a reward, then it was fine.
Just as the messages ended, something appeared in the middle zone of my capital.
It first started as a gathering of dense rays of golden colour, then it got slightly red, then it finally ended up rising high in the air.
Damn! I never thought the flag would be this huge!
As the energy rose up for one hundred metres, a grand flag appeared from its depth. It had a massive flagpole, looking like a big obelisk or a pillar.
The flag wasn’t made out of any type of fabric, but made entirely of faint green energy. In its centre, the symbol of my kingdom shone brightly in its different colour.
It extended for tens of metres in length and almost ten metres width. It looked big, even from far away anyone could see it!
[Boss, what is that?]
[Damn! You left us fighting and was busy finding a good piece of decoration for your capital!]
[I like it, is it a flag? And what’s drawn over it?]
