Chapter 603 Resources (1)
Billy began to work on some vehicles that would help Meryl since they would have cores that would recover mana. Naturally, Meryl would have to return them, but she was fine with that since she won’t have to spend anything to help her people move. Although he said vehicles, he actually made some extra-large buses since she had too many people to bring. He had no idea how he was going to use them later, though…Regardless, Billy made ten of those and told Meryl how to drive it. Even normal people could use it with no problems. In any case, Billy also made his golems create a tunnel that would lead to their previous camp. While they wouldn’t use it, Billy would… the only problem was the fact that it couldn’t be a straight one. Otherwise, they would have to cross the territory of the maker. Although building all that took a few hours, Billy still arrived at his home before dinner.

”Good, if the notification speed slows down a bit, then I will know that something happened in that dungeon,” Billy thought. “Perhaps I should take a few more days off to produce more golems here. Or perhaps that is just an excuse for me to slack off since they can multiply.”
Billy had to make it up with his kids somehow, so he couldn’t think of any other option aside from spending some time with them. Soon enough, they will be five years old, so Billy should really take a few days off. There was a chance that the maker would act after learning that the manipulator had been defeated. Still, the chances were pretty small since he ignored that guy for so long.
”You are slacking off, Billy,” Kate said after she finished another training session with Natalie and Sarah.
A few days had passed since Billy had returned, and while he was training here and there, he couldn’t deny that he was procrastinating while using his kids as an excuse. He couldn’t even come up with a reason since Billy would hear that he was just spoiling his kids. Only their mothers knew how to say no to them, after all.
”… I have finished most of my preparations,” Billy said after a few moments of silence. “Besides, the others are busy moving the base to the new location. So, it is fine.”
”That isn’t something the usual cautious you would say,” Kate said. “Besides, that dungeon needs to be cleared, right? If you aren’t going to do that, perhaps we should.”
”For the time being, you can’t go there…” Billy said. “I want the enemy to think that we don’t have too many people on our side. You guys will be my secret weapon.”
”Lip service is useless,” Kate said. “In any case, now that they are busy, isn’t the time for you to take advantage of the situation? You said that you don’t trust them, so you should stay a few steps ahead of them. Also, you are not bringing the materials, and we want to take a look a look at the scales and those hearts.”
”So, in simple terms, you are hungry and want to eat the tyrant’s heart?” Billy asked. “I suppose I have to go to put food on the table…”
”Don’t look so discouraged. Our kids won’t grow that much while you are away for a few hours,” Kate said. “Besides, after returning, they will be a lot happier than just seeing you at home all the time.”
”It isn’t fair if you use logic and facts against me…” Billy said and then sighed.
Putting his complaints aside, Billy knew that she had a point and his other wives agreed with Kate. So, he had two options, being irrational and keep slacking off, or being rational and returning to work.
In the end, Billy decided to be logical… Besides, while he wanted to be with his family as much as possible, he couldn’t underestimate the next enemy. Never mind having the power to dominate the world, he probably had the power to destroy the whole world with the skills of five other reincarnated individuals. If Meryl was right, then it was hard to predict what he would do next… no one could have predicted someone like him staying two hours in a dungeon that only spawns fire dragons.
After making up his mind, Billy had some ideas on his own, and he decided to test them while he was heading to the tyrants’ dungeon. Upon arriving there, he only found Lucyna guarding the dungeon’s entrance. Meryl and Icarus were driving the buses to the other side of the continent. Icarus was having one hell of an annoying job since he had to drive one and then, after a while, change vehicles in order for all of them to arrive on the other side of the continent. Still, that was the time for those to get recharged.
”Are you going to enter the dungeon?” Lucyna asked. “If you don’t mind, I would like to go with you.”
”I am pretty sure you can solo a few tyrants on your own…” Billy said while frowning.
”Yeah, I headed there a few times myself, but it is boring alone,” Lucyna replied.
”You need to train your mental fortitude,” Billy said. “Well, I actually don’t mind if you come along. There are a few things that I want to test. So, you will be able to watch my back.”
”I thought you didn’t trust us enough to do that,” Lucyna said.
”I was just being considerate,” Billy said and then shrugged.
”Sorry for hiding that before I really don’t like to stay on the backline, so I kept quiet about my power to buff others,” Lucyna said.
”I never expected to hear an apology for doing something so obvious,” Billy said. “Anyone with half a brain would have done the same.”
