"They left a way out here, one that could stop the entire time loop trigger thing."
"For real? Are you sure about that?" and once I heard what he said, I couldn't help but shout at him. If his race could solve this crisis, this threat, then things would end up quite great.
I could finally leave this place and not worry about anything at all. However he had to confirm this not once, but many times already.
"I told you, my people are ready to move out and defuse the trigger here," he seemed annoyed by repeating his words many times. And I couldn't help but gaze up and down at him, before laughing out loud.
"Great, that's great, hahahaha!" I kept laughing for a few minutes before finally turning serious, "but that doesn't mean you shall slack. We need to control and save your people from this shithole."
"Sure, leave this to me and my people," Real seriously said, "I promise what we all suffered will be paid back double."
"I hope you know what you are doing," I said in a serious warning, "I left enough forces for you to crush this entire world. Don't underestimate the enemy. I'll be sure to come here from time to time to check on things."
"Don't worry, we won't let go of this chance, not after what we all suffered."
"Great," I didn't have to remain in this world anymore. The threat that the bombs posed were neutralised. And the risk of the time loop triggering mechanism was going to be eliminated soon.
"Make sure to take that trigger down first," I opened a portal using the second piece of one of my twin teleport gears, leading out from this world back to my ground zero, "I don't want any mistakes to bring everything we did down."
"Sure, we will start removing the trigger right away. Good luck!"
"To you too," I passed through the portal, heading towards the first land I visited when I came to this quest universe.
Going by logic, I should start dealing with bombs in all the worlds belonging to the other nineteen races first. However I got to save the twenty zones first.
These zones were like the military bases of my forces in this universe. Losing them, or having such a deadly threat wasn't something I'd like to see.
So I got to move and secure these twenty zones first. Once I arrived there, I didn't hesitate to do the same as I did before.
I danced, and instantly entered the weird world of my ability. The world all around got changed, and unlike what I experienced at the angelic world, this world was made out of flat land.
I spotted tons of red sparkling dots all over the place. "As I thought, those fiends scattered a hellishly large number of bombs in each zone, enough to rival any world!"
I knew going by logic, the enemy should scatter a small amount of bombs at the zones. However, in the end, I saw enough bombs that looked the same as the number of bombs scattered in the angelic world.
That told me the enemy thought the same as I did. They considered taking down the twenty zones as important as taking down any world.
These zones were considered the main bases of any enemy coming to threaten their grasp over this universe here. So by taking these zones down, any enemy would suffer lots of damage, even if the bombs got cleared out at the twenty worlds.
I felt lucky and happy to read through the enemy plans and make the right choice. I didn't delay my moves and actions, started to move around, and gathered those bombs from all over the zone.
I swore I could find a group of bombs at each one hundred metre square! And many of these bombs were even layered on top of each other, making it take a bit longer than I took back at the angelic world to handle these bombs.
I did the same, gathered the bombs on my chariot after filling it with green grade bones. Then I waited until they got all absorbed, then replenished the bones with another batch before doing the same.
I kept doing this without feeling any exhaustion or boredom at all. Just the fact that I got a chance to increase the grade of my bones while eliminating the risk of these bombs was enough to keep me going without any pause.
From the start till the end, it took me eight months, almost ten days in real world time. When I returned back, it felt like I went for too long and returned from abroad or something.
"Time to visit other zones," I jumped back to the central place where tons of portals were, took one and left.
I didn't even care about asking Lily about what was going on here. I knew we were rocking everywhere, and the different battles were going to end up quite great in my favour.
They didn't need me to take any more of my warriors. And so I kept jumping from one zone to another, taking down the bombs and turning everywhere safe.
Twenty zones, each took me eight months to clear, ten days in real world time. It took me more than twenty-two years to finish doing all this. It was such a long time, a very long time, the longest time I ever lived before at any place!
Not even my old life managed to reach this crazy number of years! And what was really crazy was the fact that I didn't show any sign of getting old at all!
I feared I'd grow grey or white hair or something, getting worse by losing lots of hair and becoming bald. However in the end nothing of this happened!
All I felt was more energy brimming inside my body, as if I didn't grow older, but grew younger!
What the heck happened to my body back then when I received the god race blessing? I couldn't tell... But it was a great result indeed.
