Novel Full 706 A Crazy Idea!
But if they were this mighty, then I could find ways to help them to deepen our relations.
“So this cluster was supposed to be yours, right?” I asked, while preparing my piece, if it was mine.
“Not even close, there are many worlds with Hescos race fighting there,” she said such shocking news, making my eyes wide open.
“I’ve never had such a race before,” I said as the green nymph lady never brought a single Hescos race from this cluster before.
“I know you got your people helping you kidnap other races, but… no matter who they were, they’d be scared to touch a single hair of the Hescos.”
“This…” I paused, while my mind was stirred up thinking about something.
“Don’t try to push them. No matter how big you’d pay, they won’t help you in this matter,” she mistook my silence as thinking about forcing the Bringold impact to do this task for me.
I wasn’t even considering this! I was thinking about something different!.
I needed to deepen my relations with the Toranks. And just when I thought about a chance, a chance presented itself to me.
The Hescos were here! But wait, she said something weird just now.
“What do you mean by them playing in more than one world?” This was a weird point indeed. The Hectors came here just because of me, partially. But what about those Hescos?
“They are invaders,” she sighed, “think of them like Berserkers, yet with brilliant minds like Hectors, and wealth rivalling all the races here. Why not send their boys out to fight at many worlds in one cluster? This way they’d train more offspring, and even dominate any cluster they’d enter. Not to mention, they’d end up increasing the number of worlds they control.”
“But… Aren’t the worlds supposed to merge with each step of the apocalypse?!”
“No, it’s just the case when there are different races controlling worlds. But if a race controlled a group of worlds, then they don’t need to merge. They will just send forces from these worlds over to one world which is undergoing the merge.”
“This… Isn’t this cheating?!” this was what it was like in my eyes! Such a mighty race was bullying other races using big support from their higher ups… Wasn’t this unfair?
“The universe is unfair, so what’s the problem in doing everything you can to secure better results for you and your race?”
Her logic wasn’t that righteous indeed, but it was true nonetheless. I couldn’t find any argument to throw back at her, not to mention we were talking about the current state of the universe.
It wasn’t a hypothetical talk, it was a serious talk about what was happening in the universe for a long time already.
But thinking about this made me find another reason to execute the plan I had in mind. It wasn’t just to get to the better side of the Toranks, helping them stumble over their rivals. It was also helping me and my race.
If this was left untouched, then in the end I’d face many worlds controlled by the Hescos. Endless armies would appear hammering the doors of my kingdom.
And in the end I’d be either crushed like a mere fly, or had to go to each world and crush the forces there.
So why the wait then? If I was supposed to end up going there, why wouldn’t I start this right now?
Of course I needed lots of help to do that. And I got the right race to ask for this big thing.
Just as I decided, I opened a chat with my man.
[I want to ask something, how is the relation between your race and the Hescos?]
[Don’t bring the name of those son of b*tches again please. I know you don’t know much, but this is a very sensitive topic in our race!]
As expected! His answer was so aggressive when the name of their rival race was brought up.
[I’d like to help, if it’s allowed]
[Help? How?!]
[Do you know that they are in my cluster?]
[Your apocalypse cluster? Damn! Man, you know I like you so much. Why not abandon your world and come to join my race? I’m sure the higher ups will generously support such a prodigy]
This was the second time I heard this word in just one hour! [Isn’t it better to crush that arrogant race and dominate the cluster instead?]
[This… You do know we are speaking about the Hescos, right? Even if I hate them to the bones, I have to give them just here]
[I heard stories about them] I nodded, [But I want to see their might in the flesh]
[This… Are you sure? This is a crazy path to tread on]
[I thought you might help. After all they are cheating to become on top while you are playing fairly, right?]
[That’s true! Those son of b*tches just use anything to dominate more worlds than us! Even using such dirty means to send their folks into many worlds at the start of any apocalypse!]
[I heard] I paused for a second, [Here is my offer. I don’t know about other clusters, but in my cluster, I’ll be the one ending up as the supreme ruler of it. So I want help from your race, providing tickets to let me join other worlds of the apocalypse cluster]
[This… Are you already ruling over the world you are in?]
[I’m not the type to play it safe] I got what he wanted to say here, [If I wait to dominate my world here, then it will be too late to come to the Hescos! Right now only three quests have ended and the fourth is underway. I want to join their worlds by the fifth quest]
[That plaque quest? It’s a very tricky one]
[In danger lies opportunities, right?]
[Sigh! You are more ambitious than what I even thought! It’s a regret that you weren’t born in my race, or else… Anyway, such a big decision can’t be decided by me or by anyone rashly. Let me speak with the sovereigns first and see their thoughts about your crazy idea]
