Novel Full 1344 Time To Act
One of these problems was time. How long would I be gone from here?
I wanted to create trouble back at the enemy ten base worlds, forcing them to activate their third layer of defence. If I succeeded, then the entire ten worlds would be swept clean from all the hostile two races inside.
But that also meant the twenty zones here and even the twenty worlds out there would be at great risk. I didn’t know how other universes managed to evade such disasters. But if they succeeded, why wouldn’t I?
I knew that by the demonesse words, that disaster would only affect the ten base worlds. But I used to expect the worst just in case.
What if the enemy used this third layer of defence and extended it over the twenty worlds here? I had to be prepared for such a disastrous possibility.
And so I needed to not only create chaos out there, but to explore these worlds and see if I could find the buried technology of that extinct race and explore part of their secrets.
To do so, I knew I’d take a long time. It was quite hard then to tell how long I’d be gone from here. And so I could only arm up Angelica with everything I could, hoping she would help others to stand for a long time against the dangers here.
“You know what to do,” I returned her back to the ground zero central zone before adding, “keep what I gave you to yourself. Don’t try to act until the Silence race approaches.”
“But…”
“Legend and Sara are now training endless warriors to execute the star array perfectly,” I knew what she wanted to argue about, “you will help them as well by adding more warriors every now and then. As for the ones they trained, you’ll take them back with you and use them to stop the Silence race.”
“Will they be enough?” I knew she feared the abnormal abilities of the Silence race.
“As long as you all stay inside my shields, then it will be fine… One moment…”
The next instant I activated the offensive ability of my shields. The entire zone changed and a brutal attack appeared.
This time the shields stored up attacks for a much longer duration than before. And that made me realise the attack would last for a bit longer and even expand to reach far away places.
But to think this attack would reach the edge of the zone wasn’t logical.
The edge of each zone was protected well enough by dense hordes of locusts and Silence race elite forces.
“This…” she got shocked by what I did, and I managed to distract her from what I just said. I didn’t want to expose much about my shields ability to stop the Silence race, or else the enemy might find a way to counter them.
“I’m going now,” I went towards a portal leading to another zone, “good luck!”
And by then I vanished, leaving her behind.
I ran across all the zones, activating the devastating attacks of my shields. Once done, I returned back to ground zero and found no trace of Angelica at all.
[If you need any help at any time, just inform Angelica] I sent to Lily while passing through a portal and ending up at the edge of this region, [And make sure no one steps outside the shield zones. Or else they’ll die!]
[Die? These locusts are weak to even be compared with the zombies of our homeland! And what about this thing with Angelica? Why shall I contact her, not you?]
[Contact both of us then] If that would make you feel better! I knew trying to get to me would be quite impossible in the future, [And don’t underestimate our enemies. We aren’t just fighting locusts, we are also fighting Silences and god knows who else!]
I had to scare her, scare everyone, from taking such a crazy step and advance.
As long as they stayed inside the shields, nothing would hit them. Not the locusts, not the Silences, and not even the deadly third defensive layer.
But all of this would change the moment they started to move out and attack.
[Ok] I didn’t know if she was sincere in her response or not. However I did everything in my power to keep them safe. If they wanted to get killed, then be my guest and step outside.
And now it was time for me to make the last step before going towards the first enemy world.
I needed to go to the first enemy base world, but endless locusts and elite Silences stood in between me and them.
I could use my warriors to kill them, use my technique to recruit them. However I didn’t intend to waste my effort and time on doing such a thing.
After all, I didn’t want to alarm the enemy long before I’d step through these portals. Thus I had one option left for me to do.
I took out my warriors, spread them all over many shielded areas around the edge of this zone.
The moment my warriors appeared, all the locusts surrounding this region stopped in their tracks, turned their attention towards my shields, and started to run and attack them.
I kept moving using my chariot while the entire world down below got stirred up. I watched this in amusement, while adding more warriors at all the shielded areas here.
It took me roughly two hours to pass through these areas. And if not for me to save many locations around, I’d have taken much more than that.
After doing all this, I didn’t hurry to act and waited for two days. During which, the entire shielded areas got totally buried underneath the endless streams of locusts.
These shields were tens of miles away from the portals of the enemy. As such, no matter how many locusts my warriors killed, it was far from enough to stop the ceaselessly coming locusts.
