Chapter 494: Title Offering
Flying out of the Realm Portal as if he just did nothing out of ordinary, Khal turned around and watched as the blue vortex rapidly began to shrink in size before completely vanishing from sight!
[That was fun.]
’Fun?’ Khal raised a brow, seemingly lost just how was annihilating an entire base with numerous lives within akin to doing something fun.
"You really did it. The Realm Portal finally closed." Hale appeared beside Khal the very next second and formed a barrier around the two of them to defend against the attacks of the several million Realm Cruisers.
"Let’s take care of these first." Khal pointed his finger at the flooding Realm Cruisers outside the barrier to which the Emperor of the Seven Realms nodded and quickly started to destroy the robots.
Total chaos transpired in a large area within the Fifth Realm that resulted in numerous planets exploding and lives being lost, but after fighting for almost close to half a day Hale, Pilzrod, Iara, and Khal were able to kill every Realm Cruiser without leaving not a single one alive.
"Human! Take your weapon out and let’s fight!" not even three seconds after silence fell on the previously chaos-filled battlefield, Pilzrod appeared before Khal, towering above him with an entire head akin to a giant!
PA!
"Y-You bitch! Did you really dare to slap me in the head?!" Pilzrod touched the back of his head while directing an enraged gaze at Iara not far away from him.
"I don’t know what you are talking about." Iara examined her nails with indifference, completely ignoring the death stare directed at her by the Lord of the Fifth Realm.
"You...!"
Hale shook his head helplessly seeing the usual quarrelsome behavior of the two Lords and started to feel a headache assault his head.
"Just ignore them. Maybe it is not apparent, for obvious reasons, but those two are siblings."
"Eh?" Khal’s eyes widened and almost choked on his own saliva upon hearing Hale’s words.
They were siblings? Like blood-related siblings or siblings with different parents? No, that was not important, but instead, why were they acting with so much hatred toward each other?
While Khal knew there were relationships between siblings that were not the best, this was on a whole another level and no siblings should behave like this with each other!
Of course, because he was an only child both here and in his past life, Khal had no idea how it felt to have a sister or brother, but he was sure he would not act like this with either of them. In fact, he would cherish them, as just like how he has already experienced it twice, he never knew when life decides to take something precious away from him.
"Is there a reason why they hate each other?" Khal decided to ask out of curiosity.
"Well, it is a rather long story so why don’t we just put that matter to another time?" Hale laughed rather awkwardly, making Khal’s curiosity increase by a notch as a result.
"Anyways, care to tell me what you have seen on the other side?"
Khal nodded his head and told everything he has seen which obviously made Hale and the two Lords who at some point in time stopped quarreling, frown rather deeply.
"So you say they can create hundreds of thousands of these robots in mere seconds and for a seemingly infinite amount of time?" Hale’s brow lowered into a frown as he asked.
Numerous Races within the seven Realms could construct gadgets or machines that could assist cultivators in either everyday life or fights, such as the spaceships back in the Second Realm, but they were not as advanced in technology at all as the robots these Realm Walkers were creating.
The disparity in technology between the two worlds was just simply too vast and the Lord of the Seven Realms knew this perfectly well.
"Hmm..." Hale let out a deep and long hum before he sighed and shook his head.
"It seems things no longer will be the same from now on as they used to be. We have to prepare for the worst."
"For the worst? Pft... Don’t make me laugh. These piles of craps are nothing to fret about." Pilzrod suddenly snorted and after kicking a destroyed Realm Cruiser that floated in front of him into the distance he added, "You all have seen it and even experienced it firsthand. They don’t pose a threat to us at all."
"They don’t?" Iara looked at Pilzrod with a contempt-filled gaze and pointed out, "Just look around yourself, dipstick! You really think they don’t?"
Hale and Khal looked at their surroundings in silence and had to realize Iara was right.
Thousands of planets, moons, and Celestial Pillars had been destroyed, their debris scattered all around the Fifth Realm and crashing into other planets in the very far distance!
And all this mess was caused just in less than a day, so just imagining the chaos and destruction after a few days or even after several weeks made the expression of Hale, Khal, and even Pilzrod turn grave.
Pilzrod became real quiet after that.
"So what should we do?" Khal decided to ask after a few moments of silence to which Iara and Pilzrod directed their attention at Hale, they too expecting an answer from him.
"I doubt they would open another Realm Portal and launch another raid so soon, so we still have time. Let’s discuss this matter once everyone is back." Hale said calmly.
Khal agreed with Hale. Let alone the fact that he had demolished an entire base, he did in a way where he left no hints or traces behind. Hence, he was pretty sure it will take those Realm Walkers quite some time to figure out what really happened before deciding what they will do next.
"Instead, I wish to announce something." Hale smiled and turning to look at Khal waved his hand and summoned a small item into his hold.
It was a small golden ring with black symbols carved all around its surface. Khal raised a brow seeing the ring in Hale’s hand while the expression of both Iara and Pilzrod changed drastically.
"Khal, I wish you to become the seventh Lord."
