3212 In The Tower
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm
I had guessed they had walked past the line of morality after hearing what they are planning to do, but after sensing the aura.
I understood they are miles past morality, that there is not a shred of it had remained in their hearts.
They sacrificed thousands of lives; hundreds of thousands, seeing how dense energy is, for utterly selfish reasons.
People kill, it is a way of the world, but there are some unwritten rules about that.
These monsters have forgone all of them.
“The gate had opened; send them inside.” Said, the leading Earth Sovereign, and a moment later, people moved toward the gate.
It is not the legs of people that moved them, but the power of Earth Sovereign. Whether we want or not, we are going to enter the tower; where they need us to kill each other till only twelve remain.
An hour passed, and soon it is my time to enter the tower.
I moved toward it with the group of people around me; I am resisting with my all, but it did not seem to have any effect at all. I am moving toward the tower’s door, without any delay.
Soon, I reached it and felt a light push that sent me inside the door.
….
“Now that all of them had entered inside, it is time we take our place,” said the old man and flew toward the tower, before reaching the bracket and sitting inside it.
“How long do you think it will take them till themselves till only twelve remained?” asked the winged women, not far from him.
“It shouldn’t take long, with the encouragement from the seal,” replied the red-horned man, and everyone smiled.
Even if they don’t want to kill each other, they will have to. The seal will force them to.
…
I found myself in a barren world. There was nothing here aside from the barren hills. I thought, seeing everything blood red, I will enter the world of blood red, but it seemed like my imagination was too narrow.
The only red thing that is present here is a blood-red beam reaching the cloud. It seemed to be quite far away.
I looked around and found my mood getting back, with the small hills and barren land, it would be quite hard to hide here. I planned to find a well-hidden spot and wait till it was all over.
If it had been a few hundred, I would have been able to do something, but there are hundreds of thousands of them, including over a thousand Sovereigns; I couldn’t do anything against such numbers.
It is better that I find a good hill and dug a hole as soon as possible.
I don’t want to kill people, but there will be some who want to do it. There are always people who like the needless violence.
Hiding is the best choice.
‘Go to the center; it is where you will find a chance of survival,’ said the hidden being, just when I take a step to find a hiding spot.
“Fuck!”
I cursed loudly. What the hidden being said is suicide, I will have to face many primary and Sovereigns, who could kill me within a second.
As for what I am doing to do, go to the center of the course.
It may be suicidal, but if I am able to do it. I will survive, the hidden being had never broken its word. Hiding in a cave might hide me, but there is always a chance of someone finding me.
Not to mention, many other things could happen. I feel like things are not as simple as they seemed to be.
So, I took a deep breath and moved toward the red light in the sky.
Hun!
I had just moved when I received a surprise. I activated the stealth method, but it is not working as it should be.
It is only working at 50% of its power.
“Fucking hell!” I cursed before I took a deep breath to calm down and immediately did a few tests.
A few minutes later, a mirthless smile appeared on my face.
Not all things are restricted here. I could use my strength at full power, but when I brought out the formation, it wouldn’t activate. It is the same with the cloaking method and a few other things.
This place had no restriction on power, but one thing that one’s hide and outside things like formation, their power is restricted, or they wouldn’t work at all.
It is a good thing the seal had only branded my body and soul. If it had branded my core, I wouldn’t have been able to use my stealth method.
Half of the power is not good, but it is still better than nothing.
After checking everything, I started to make my way to the wasteland. My destination is the beam.
I am moving quite fast; it is the best time to cover the distance when people are still hesitating over the morality of what they were ordered to do. Once the killing started, traveling this fast will become harder.
Hun!
Barely a minute had passed since I started moving when I spot the first person.
She is from the stone skin race and Peak Primary. She noticed me, a few seconds after I noticed her and looked at me, but did not move from her place.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but sigh with relief.
It is a good start, but I don’t know how long it will last. It will definitely not be going too fast for two days. That’s what I will require, to reach the beaming blood-red light.
Half an hour passed, and I have come across four people, all of them Primary-III, but not a single one had moved toward me.
I increased my speed further. It will make my stealth method nearly obsolete to the people close, but I do not care. I want to cross as much distance in less time as possible.
A few more minutes passed when I come across another person.
Hun!
I thought he would just look as he saw me, but he did not. Instead, he smiled and came toward me.
