Chapter 31: The Clash Of Three Civilizations

{Ding! Quest Status Updated!}

{Side Quest: Complete The Impossible!}

{Requirements: Destroy The Ant Swarm / Annihilate the Ant Swarm}

{Status: Failed! (You are a failure, you can never make it!)}

"Just so you know, if I don’t make it you go nowhere also."

{The system cannot be compromised by the host’s actions, I am a divine being!}

"Find another host then."

{Alright, there are countless other suitable specimens out there}

"Wait, wait, my dear Orion don’t tell me you’ll actually leave? I was wrong my princess, you’re the divine above the divines, your beauty encompasses the heavens, those twin hills could comfortably accommodate the heavens and the Earth!"

{--~}

"Yo--"

{Issuing penalty for quest failure}

{Ding! Penalty interrupted!}

{Implications: No Penalty!}

"Ouu, my praises must have worked, I know what you love the most now."

{Be glad, just be glad you’re free for now}

"What are you going to do anyways?"

{Y--}

"Okay I’m glad I’m free for now, hehe."

{Cutting me off mid speech?}

"1:0" Draxus replied then stood up from the little mound he had stopped at to rest before.

After escaping from the ants by forcing his way through with the help of his elemental possession state he didn’t wait behind for the quest before running as far as he could.

Before his energy was totally depleted he arrived at this mound where he stayed to rest but the system... Refused.

’Sigh-- what happened to having a normal system? Why does it feel like I’m stuck with a nagging wife or a woman going through menopause.’

{What happened to having a normal, sensible host?}

"I honestly don’t get it, why do you seem to hate me so much?" Draxus asked with his right palm placed on his face, after the short battle with Erimitis, Daniel and the ant horde he was totally exhausted but still wanted to reach the convoy as soon as possible or they might get even further.

{Hate? I don’t hate you Draxus, you’re not deserving of my hate, why exactly would I hate on a normal human who can’t even confront opponents of the same level?}

"Then why?"

{I despise you}

~~~

"You know what? Do whatever you want, I care less." He replied then leapt down from the mound and started a light jog across the plains towards the direction marked by the system’s panel.

Beyond Dyteria’s atmosphere

Beep!

Beep!

Beep!

A circular object less than a meter long with streamlined surface and a protruding edge that gave off constant beeps every few seconds slowly swirled round the planet.

From the protruding edge a low current would be emitted which would flow across the space with every beep then power it up for the next beep after that.

Everything seemed peaceful and calm till the space miles away from the circular object suddenly rippled, followed by tiny cracks, then multiple cracks after which the space broke apart, from it emerged a hand which grabbed onto the exteriors then stepped onto the void.

The new entree had human-like features, the only thing that looked different from normal humans were its purple eyes that glowed with a deep enchanting light, its focus fixated on the circular object still swirling round the planet.

"Why are you here?" He asked in a slow, calculated voice.

For a few moments the void went silent before the circular object suddenly twisted then stretched out from less than a meter to over two meters, the protruding edge morphed into a head, followed by two upper limbs and two lower limbs which created its arms and legs.

The entire process didn’t take more than just a few seconds to complete and the next moment the circular object had morphed into an adult human with a spear attached to its hand.

"I should be asking you that."

"This star system belongs to us, what are you trying to accomplish by coming here?" The figure with purple eyes asked, its eyes darting towards Dyteria behind the silvery figure for a moment before he retracted it once again.

’Just a normal planet, nothing else but why would it attract their attention?’

"This realm operates under our command, do you mean we can’t even visit our own territory? You’re living on borrowed land right now yet you have the guts to ask me what I am here for? I dare tell you all to evacuate this star system right now and you can not refute my order!" The silvery figure replied, words filled with mockery and disdain.

"You’re not the only race and civilization that can command a realm, don’t overstep your boundaries." The figure with purple eyes replied, his words indirectly meant ’You might have a realm but we have one also, threatening us with one isn’t plausible!’

"Then do you mind explaining what exactly you sealed here for me?" The silvery figure asked with a wide grin.

’Damnit, he knows!’

"What about it?"

"I don’t think the others would love to hear about your actions, they might incur severe repercussions you know?" The silvery figure asked with hands crossed.

The figure with purple eyes paused for a few moments before he asked "How did you find out? How did you know?"

"The world core called me over when it sensed its impending doom."

"I was passing by when I felt it’s sorrow and grief. Oh right, it called onto Anemoi also, I think that old bird gave it a gift or something but since I was close by I decided to visit personally."

The figure with purple eyes couldn’t believe the words it heard "This world... A low tier world managed to develop a world core consciousness strong enough it can even send signals for help?"

"What do you think? Although it’s currently in hibernation after exhausting all its energy it was pretty impressive I’d say, It managed to call on three different races for help before shutting down."

The figure with purple eyes gritted his teeth in frustration and anger, his hands tightly clenched as he couldn’t figure out what to do next ’One is barely enough to deal with, two is even more troublesome but three?’

"Who’s the third?"

"The Kastiyans."
