The meeting of the Numbers had started. Everyone looked at Number One at the head of the table.
Number One did not waste time. He quickly cut to the chase with his serious voice. “Father wants us to kill a certain man.”
“Kill a man?” The voices intertwined. They were in awe.
They frowned. If Infinity Zero wanted all of them to join hands, that meant the man he wanted dead was very strong.
“Who’s the man?” Number Two could not help but ask. His voice was intense.
Even though the others did not say anything, it was obvious that they thought the same.
Number One answered immediately. “He’s a tertiary immortal cultivator. His power is supposedly equal to ours, the twelfth stage. Actually, all of us don’t have to go.”
Then, Number One stopped and continued after looking at everyone.
“However, the reason why father wants all of us to go is because this man lives in the faraway past and the path there had been destroyed!”
“What? The dimensional path is gone?!?” Number Three exclaimed loudly.
The facial expressions of the rest of them changed drastically.
“This is extremely dangerous,” Number Four said.
“Not only that—we can die in there!” Number Five’s face showed absolute pain.
The rest of them felt the same. Risking lives and trying to breach the destroyed path in space-time was extremely dangerous. The body could have been crushed by all the immense pressure in there!
“I understand how you feel, but this is an order from our father. We can’t refuse it.” Number One spoke with his serious voice. His face tensed up. He knew full well what everyone was thinking.
He did not want to do that either, since he still wanted to live.
Why would he risk his life? However, he could not disobey Infinity Zero, his creator and the man who had given him his power.
Hearing that, everyone seemed to be melancholy for a second. Then, their faces showed determination.
“If it’s an order from father, we’ll do it, and we won’t let him down!” Number Two’s eyes glowed red with his intent to kill.
He wanted to kill Bai Chen because he was Infinity Zero’s target. They had to risk their lives because of him.
Number Two blamed this on Bai Chen. Everyone did!
“Then, we should go now.” Number Seven looked around the room and stopped at Number One.
Number One looked at Number Seven and nodded. “We should go now. However, before that, I want to say something first.”
“Please. We’re ready for anything.” Number Six spoke determinedly.
Number One showed his rare smile. He rarely smiled. “I don’t know if we’ll survive space-time, but we’ll always be Numbers!”
“Well said!” The rest of them screamed at almost the same time. Everyone was very encouraged.
Even though they’d lost out to Number One regarding the Number One title, they did not take that personally. What Number One had just said made them feel better.
Number One got up from his seat and looked at the earth hologram in the centre.
“Acches, open the path to the destroyed path in space-time.”
Acches, the assistant AI, accepted the order with his robotic voice. “Understood. Dimension linking in process.”
Meanwhile, Number Two to Number Seven got up from their seats. They stood there quietly just like Number One. No one said anything.
They only had to wait until Acches finished.
In less than 2 minutes, Acches spoke. “The linking is complete. All the Numbers, are you ready to be teleported there?”
“We’re ready. Take us there!” Number One spoke on behalf of everyone. His voice echoed around the room, making everything seem to tremble.
“Understood. I wish you safe travels,” Acches said.
Suddenly, everyone was covered with a bright light and vanished from the room. There were only some light particles left after they were gone.
“All gone, huh?” A voice sounded in the room. It was Infinity Zero. He was not here physically.
“Welcome, Creator.” Acches’s voice was still as robotic and monotonous. Yet, it also sounded utterly respectful.
“You did well, Acches.” Infinity Zero spoke to Acches. Then, his voice turned cold. “I hope the Numbers can finally kill that bastard Bai Chen for me!”
Acches spoke again. “There’s no need to worry, Creator. They are all at their thirteenth stage. There is no way they would fail!”
“Good. I certainly hope so!” Infinity Zero gritted his teeth, and there were no more sounds in the room after that.
