When I thought back to the possibility of the enemy opening paths at the walls surrounding the gods' holes, the entire situation looked darker in my eyes.
"I have to find a way to increase my speed," I realised that just by using my current speed, my chariot's current speed, I wouldn't be able to do much.
Most of the gods would be killed by the time I'd arrive. And I didn't want to see such a thing happening.
If I got the chance, I'd let these gods inhabit an entire world, a few worlds, even an entire universe if I could.
"They still need more time to evolve," I checked and found that all of the items inside my inventory were still under evolution, "should I take out more warriors?"
I knew even if I took out warriors, I wouldn't be able to do anything about this problem. I didn't need force, I needed speed, more speed, even teleporting to all over the world was a must at this point.
*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
I kept releasing my deadly bones whenever I reached a hole filled with the enemy forces. After doing this for over ten hours, visiting close to fifteen holes in the meantime, the items inside my inventory finally finished merging.
The thing that helped me cover up so many holes came from the fact of how the enemy arranged the holes in this world, or how the world naturally came to be.
When I arrived at a hole, I didn't find just one, but at least three up to seven situated close to each other. All I needed to do was to just cross the walls, release my deadly bones, before crossing the walls to arrive at another hole.
I called this gathering as a whole cluster, and each time I'd arrive at a gathering point of these, I'd end up cleaving more lives of the enemies.
But most of the time was taken to travel between one cluster to another. And now, all my items got upgraded, including the chariot and my other artefacts.
"That means that dude already finished his evolution," I didn't hesitate to save this place in my staff, and jumped back to the place I first visited in this world.
And there a grand and majestic scene appeared in front of my eyes.
I left the place while the gods' forces were fighting side by side with my warriors against the flying fiends. After all these hours, such a chaotic battle had already ended, and my side claimed victory.
That wasn't what was special about what I saw, Clatinberg was.
This dude looked totally different than what I saw before.
If he was already cladded in armour, then this time he was like a fortress!
His body got covered with layers and layers of small pieces of gears, each looked like a miniature version of an armour, a shield, and guard pieces of armour.
These pieces came on top of each other, perfectly interlocking with other pieces, forming a giant layer of armour surrounding him.
He held two greatswords, each was like an entire world of its own. Each sword was also formed of many pieces of gears, and extended to exceed ten metres in length and one in width.
He wore a helmet before, but this time I felt like his face was buried under weird looking circular pieces of gears, many of which were formed of rims of ores and layers of thin films of energy covering the space inside.
He looked quite strong, very deadly and dangerous, especially with all the fire that he emanated. I could see thin cracks spreading all over the world around him, as if the world couldn't tolerate his energy anymore.
"Thanks for your help," just when I took my time to inspect him, that dude knelt in midair, looking like how Lucas used to treat me, "from now on, my life belongs to you. You are my lord, and I'll die before you will."
"Ok," I would never say no to his words, "now it's not time for such a ceremony. Come, we have lots of things to do," I paused before explaining in brief what I feared.
"Lord is right, we already are aware of the modifications the enemy did to our walls," Clatinberg paused, "in fact, we were the ones who helped them in doing all this! Those damn bastards! They were doing all this in case we revolted one day or got to know their true colours."
If I said I didn't get surprised by what he said then I'd be lying. However, it was expected for these enemies to do such a thing. If I was them, I'd do the same without any speck of hesitation.
"Can you warn everyone?" I asked, "is there a way to stop these walls from opening paths?"
I was still standing in the same spot I arrived at. And during my talk to him, I called back my chariot, and watched it flash in teleportation like speed, before coming back to me.
"I've already warned them," he slowly said, "and we got a way to expand the shield, to cover our entire holes like they are perfect bubbles."
"Then make them do it," I was eager to see what changed in each of my grand weapons and artefacts, "we need them to buy as much time as possible."
"This…" yet when I said this, his sudden silence told me a lot about what he was thinking.
"What's wrong?"
"There is a problem," and as I expected, there was a catch behind using such a feature of their shields, "if we did it, the shields' time would be halved."
"This…" I paused before sighing, "I'll take a few hours to increase my speed. After that, we'll try our best to help as many of your people as we can. But those who are far away…"
I didn't continue my words as what I wanted to say was quite obvious. I'd help those I could reach, but those far away would be in grave danger.
