Justin sat alone has he thought about what happen previously. He wouldn't believe if he was told the heaven would recognize him as a King.
This is just not an ordinary king. A Heavenly King.
He chose to be the king not because he was obsessed with power or something of such. But the lack of central in the camp prompt to take the drastic action.
To tell the truth, he sucks at it.
Hence, the developments of the camp was left for Nasir who had the knack for it.
Anyway, it seem his clumsy leadership had won the respect of the people and recognition of the heavens.
The presence of soul space shocked and his thought wondered for a moment before he could reign check his thought.
'Let see what the heaven's reward is'
Thus, he concentrated on his soul powers, trying to locate his soul space. He calmed his breathing as he continue to sense the soul space.
Just then, a slight twitched came from the dept of his soul. He focus his attention at the direction of the twitch.
But after a couple of second nothing happened and he began to wondered if it was a false alarm. Nevertheless, he continued to concentrated on the location.
Buzz!
A slight buzz came from his power core and connected to his soul. His body trembled and his consciousness was drew into an empty plane.
Arriving at the plane, Justin looked at his surrounding in awe.
'This is the soul space' he murmured in dazed.
Thus, it took a couples second to recovered from his astonishment before he focus at the only object inside the soul space.
A chest.
The chest was made from an unknown wood, carve with strange marking, depicting bizarre scene. He tried to understand the markings, but the more he stare at it, the more his head got fuzzy.
'I shouldn't bit more than I can chew' he shook his head as he was getting way ahead of his self.
He open the chest slowly and a bright light flashed out of the chest. He knit his brow and stared at the object.
A book?
The book had a thick golden cover with some marking on it. The markings were more obvious than marking on the woods. At the top of the markings were some strange words. He looked at the words but couldn't make head or tail from it.
Huh! He sighed.
It would be a lie if he say he wasn't dejected. He expected something heavenly not a book.
How could a book help their current predicament. He sighed. Hence, he picked the book and wanted to threw the book away but have a second thought.
'Let see what inside the book'
He open the book and saw the same strange words. He stared at it for a moment before, not understanding a thing. Just when he was about to give up, the heavenly mark on his body his forehead shines brightly.
Furthermore, the markings on his head and the marking on the book were from the same source. Hence, the marking works sync with the book and translated the strange words.
___Heavens Book of Knowledge___
Tier: 1
Note: Only those with the heavenly markings can read this books. This book belong to the Genesis Ark and only the Genesis king can bestow the power to read this book . This book can be taken away if the knowledge is abused.
____
For a couple of seconds, Justin failed to breathe. Though this was only the first page, but his heart was already racing when he read the book of knowledge.
He would be stupid if he thought this book has no value. Perhaps, he couldn't estimate the value of the book.
This is a heavenly book of knowledge.
What can beat that. He shouted in his heart.
With a trembling hand, he open to the next page. The inflow of knowledge that flock his brain made reel in shock.
'Array formation?' He screamed in his heart.
With the short introduction he just read. He realized the power of an array. He couldn't imagine the possibility of what would happen if they were to start using array on Genesis.
He panted as his gaze fixed on the book and had the urge to continuing reading it but he control his impulse.
'We must start learning about it immediately.' He shouted in his mind.
He prepared to rush out the space and remember he didn't know how to get out.
'How do I get out' he thought.
Whoosh!
When he open his eyes he found himself inside the Genesis Ark. His eyes wondered around for a moment before he realized he truly was back inside the Ark.
Quickly, his eyes darted to his hand but found no book. He blinked twice and failed to react for a moment.
'Why did the book not appear in my hands.' He thought.
His thought for a moment but he couldn't understand how could bring the book out from his soul space.
"Book of Knowledge" he muttered as he tried to summon the book.
Whoosh!
Just then, a book appeared in his hand. And behold, it was the book of knowledge.
"How did it appear in my hand. Is it because I call it?" he murmured.
"Let try to put it back."
He concentrate his thought on the book and think of putting it back into his soul space. And thus, the book appeared inside his soul space.
"Now, I understand the gist." He said with a smile.
He left the room with a light smile on his face. He pick his radio and called the executive.
Justin sat inside the car used as the conference room, tapping his chair lightly. The car had been reconstructed under the strict order of Chloe.
Ah tough the car can't be compare to a normal room. It was way better than before. Shortly, a light footstep came from the entrance. Yet, he didn't bother to looked at the arrival.
He knew who he was. Nika.
"Your Majesty." He said with a slight bow.
Justin raise his head and nod before he went back to his though. After a couple of minute, the car was full with the executive. Afterward, everyone focus their attention on the king.
"When are we departing?" Justin asked as he raise his head.
"In Less than 5 hours, we should be on the move." Chloe announced, adjusting the rib of her glasses.
The black liquid dripping from the corner of her hand didn't seem to bother her at all as she concentrate on the list in front of her.
"We don't have 5 hours. You have 2 hours max and we must start moving." Justin said, leaving no room for debate.
Chloe widen her eyes not believing what she just heard. She had push her men to the limit to push the time shorter but— this. She open her mouth for a moment before she close it slowly. Thus, the light smile on her face disappeared as various conflicting thought ran through her mind.
Everyone looked at her but had nothing to say to comfort her. No one dare to question Justin judgment. They knew he won't behave unreasonable without reason.
"You don't have to give me that face. It not like you're going to face the Insectoid all alone." Justin said casually.
"Every one on Genesis would be at your disposal in this two hours. I believe that should get the work done, right?"
Instantly, a beautiful smile appeared on her face. She adjusted her glasses out of habit as she nodded.
"Don't worry your Majesty, with everyone working with us. We will complete it in two hours."
"Good" He nodded. He looked at the face of everyone present and sigh at those recovering from their injuries.
"Hows Susan, Grandpa Philip and Pipe man." Justin asked.
"Susan should be up by tomorrow while Grandpa Philip needs two or more days. As for Pipe man, we can't say for now." Kira said with a solemn voice.
The atmosphere became heavy when they listen to those that were yet to recovered from their injures. This remind everyone that they were in dangerous time and anyone of them could died at any moment.
"I didn't call you to reminisce on sad memories. We need to do everything to get stronger and defense ourselves against the incoming threat we're going to face. "
"Also, I've mean to remind everyone of you to enjoy yourself while it last. We should not live only to fight alone."
"It is what it is. We're alive and we should cherish it. I believe you understand what I'm trying to say, so—"
"What happen previously…" He paused as he gardener the attention of everyone.
"It's a blessing for everyone and I believe some of you could feel some slight changes on your body. What happens is— the heavens had recognize our effort."
"We're the chosen"
Chosen!
The word echoed in everyone heart like a sledgehammer but they stared intently at him as they wait for him to continue.
"We are not just some nomads or refugees. But a country that is recognized by the heaven and so…"
Bang!
A book appeared on the table.
