901 Quite Intense Meeting
Now I have to wait for the next quest, the fifth quest, to get unleashed. And that one was a pain in the ass.
“I didn’t take that long then,” I looked around. The world here was as peaceful as the surface world inside that pocket world.
The dome was still there, and I was standing just outside it.
Looking at this place made me recall what I did before getting inside. I found stones, lots of them. I drew the arrangement which aimed to seal this pocket world.
What was the real aim of these stones actually? Selling what? The entry? The exit? That wasn’t possible. I entered and my two girls did without any trouble. And we all got out without any problem.
So the seal didn’t aim at any of that. In my guess, it aimed towards sealing that weapon.
I had this doubt for a long time. This pocket world was inside my second Earth, which was inside that black hole. It was unreachable, making it impossible for anyone to get here and stop the weapon from taking down my universe shield.
Then why didn’t it fire all this time? The people living inside the pocket world lived there for a long time already.
If the problem was lack of energy, then it was solved a long time ago by the people sacrificed inside for such a long time.
It wasn’t the problem of power, it was the problem of inability to fire.
This weapon was sealed by these rocks, making it impossible to damage my universe shield.
It was all thanks to that stone sealing technique laid by that mysterious person.
I got to thank him if he was alive, yet I doubted he’d be even alive after all this time. And as he came here and did this to this pocket world, it must mean he went inside to try and destroy that weapon.
I looked at all the scattered people. As Lucias said, the two universe people were gathered at two immensely huge groups, one at the north and the other to the south, placing the dome entrance to the pocket world in between the two.
They were wary of each other, seemingly afraid even from saying hi. My universe people were oblivious to the deep hatred and grudges these folks from the alien universe held for them.
But that didn’t mean they couldn’t feel such enmity. That made the two sides not try to get in touch except for the few battles that erupted at first by Lucias words.
“Go and get me the leaders of the ten races of my world,” as I arrived here, it was time to start arranging the house, “and bring me the leaders of the alien universe ten races as well.”
“Yes, lord,” Lucias moved in his big orange fiery fog and started to roam around the two groups.
I waited for almost two hours before a large number of people, of different races, came towards my chariot and ascended it.
I asked for the leaders of the ten races from each universe. The alien universe had ten leaders before, but this time lots of them came, led by Oliver.
The two sides seemed to come in the same number of people without prior arrangement, each had around one thousand.
I looked at such a large group of people of different races without knowing what to say. Lucias did bring lots of them indeed. And that wasn’t a good thing.
“Damn you brutal bastards! You enslaved our people, killed them right in front of our eyes for years!”
“Damn sick son of b*tches! You enslaved our people and turned them into living ghosts! What sick mind you really had!”
All of sudden, groups of the two started to shout these accusations at each other without warning. I got this was a bad idea when I saw the two groups eyeing each other like they were sworn enemies.
“Silence!” *Knock!* *Knock!*
I had to intervene before a bad situation would erupt, one that would only escalate things and not make things better.
I held my glaive, knocked over my chariot a couple of times while shouting at them.
I didn’t act humble, only domineering at this moment. To add more to my image, Lucias suddenly flashed and came to my side, giving everyone a bitter wake up scene that reminded them of my power and status.
I was their lord, and they were all here serving me.
“I didn’t bring you here to fight. Your grievances are welcomed, but don’t direct them towards the wrong people. Your enemies were there, inside that pocket world, and I killed them all.”
“Lord… They entrapped us!”
“Lord… They killed our people!”
The two sides got the balls to shout back at me. I knew this wasn’t going to be easy. It wasn’t easy to remove such deep running hatred from them. But I had to do it.
After all this hatred was planted in their souls by the dirty schemes of their enemies. If they weren’t able to see this at least, then it was better to cut the throats of those troublemaker idiots before they’d cause more trouble.
“They weren’t the one to entrap your people there,” I turned to the ones who spoke from my universe’s races, “you heard about the beasts blocking each exit. How come they belong to them? They were beasts from a hideous enemy, one who built this entire world to fuel a weapon, a weapon to devastate any universe shield, our universe shield…”
I then turned towards the other side and added, “and they weren’t the ones to kill your people. You saw those one-eyed guys down below. They are by any means similar to those races here!”
My universe didn’t get anything but the old stories of those terrifying beasts. But the other universe races got to see their enemies in flesh.
If even after all this they still mistook their enemy to be my universe’s races, then these leaders were idiots, and the ones behind them were much worse than them.
