Novel Full 1655 Let's Run Away Then
A hundred million bones? That was nothing! And she was speaking about the normal bones. If he used the dark realm bones, this number would be much lower.
To him, this was nothing! “Are you sure?! The price of just a single world is enough to be in tens of millions of gold grade bones…”
“I want a hundred,” the first thing he said was something quite scary, ending up for her to glare in silence towards him for a few minutes.
“Don’t give me this look, I told you already, I can pay,” he shrugged, “but as you can tell, I have a few anxious dogs barking at me anywhere I go. So it’ll be nice if everything is done fast, very fast.”
“Hmm… The process of modifying the dead rocks into planets needs time,” she paused, “but… If we added fifty percent extra, we could have it done in just one month.”
“And the formation?” Hye knew that the most important pillar of his plan was this formation.
“It won’t take longer than a couple of weeks,” she brought the good news over at last, “once the payment is done, things will start rolling and they’ll begin working…”
“I won’t pay until we leave here,” Hye knew what she wanted, and he made it clear about his conditions.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go,” she still didn’t believe he’d pay all of this wealth. She knew he was supplying the Toranks impact by bones back at the time of his apocalypse. Yet she and many others in the universe thought wrongly that he ran out of his stock of bones.
That was mainly thanks to the few dealings he had with the Toranks impact since then. Hye didn’t need much from the Toranks, only cared about getting to know the history and secrets of the universe, acquiring any strong weapons, and getting essential things like the spaceships and such.
She didn’t even hesitate and moved fast, taking him outside the place, heading through many corridors, ending up at a giant hall.
There he found a ready portal, lots of people going through it. He didn’t need to ask to know what was going on. The entire impact was evacuating, and they were going to board this portal to go out.
“We are going to a nearby planet,” she said as they approached the portal, “it’s a place that’s filled with portals leading to many places. We can start from there and head towards another planet, where we’ll hire a spaceship and fly towards the planet you want.”
“Oh, how come you know the planet I’m heading towards, and I didn’t tell you before about it?” Hye raised an eyebrow when he heard such words. He told her about a region where he wanted to reach but didn’t tell her about his real destination.
“Come on! I don’t need to say its name clearly,” she laughed, seemingly enjoying such a reaction from him, “don’t worry, I kept such knowledge to myself… After all, I want to get rewarded from you.”
She said the last piece while winking in a tempting way. Hye couldn’t help but smile and said nothing.
“I know you the best out of all the people you met before, don’t forget I met you when you were just nobody, fearing that anyone will lean on you and die,” she laughed, reminding him of the time the two met before when he was just starting the apocalypse.

As for her goal, Hye already guessed she was going to have it done. And he got the feeling that she planned to stick to his side much longer than he expected.
The portal was gigantic in size, enough to remind Hye of the old portals that hovered on top of the cities and big towns before the apocalypse. Endless stream of people kept moving in one direction towards the portal, before they passed through and vanished.
There was no pause, no time for the portal to reset or something. The portal kept eating up people like it was a beast with a bottomless belly.
And soon it was their turn. Hye passed through many portals before. Yet this time it felt a bit different.
The portal took him into a world of darkness, a place that he never saw before. All around him was fog, and he felt the force pulling him getting stronger and fiercer with each passing minute.
Out of reflex, he released his wings, prepared mentally for a fight. He didn’t know why he felt so, but soon enough the world brightened up and the darkness vanished.
“Oh, nice wings you have there,” the moment his feet landed on the ground, he heard the cheerful voice of the nymph lady, “at least you survived the Wrathful Black portal without vomiting…”
She didn’t continue her words before she leant to the ground and started to vomit. She wasn’t the only one doing this, but many people around did the same.
“Are you alright?” he didn’t feel weak or bad, yet she seemed to grow weak. She leant on the ground, with a shaky body, unable to even stand up.
“G… Give me a minute…” She couldn’t continue her words before vomiting again. Hye ignored all this and started to inspect the place he arrived at.
He now knew why he felt weird about that portal. It seemed like some sort of emergency portal, one that could take them away, take any number and teleport them far from the place of danger.
Yet it came with side effects as it seemed. Aside from the people suffering from the weird portal, the world around was indeed quite special.
There was no sky, or perhaps there was but it was replaced with tons of floating islands made entirely out of metal. The islands weren’t just bulks of metal floating up there, but they were arranged in circular discs, one on top of another, with pillars that held these discs in place.
