Chapter 143: Chapter 143: New Beginning
Far beyond the borders of the Crucible the black expanse above split apart in absolute silence as torrents of blinding radiance tore across the sky.
Like fragments violently ripped out from a unknown, a higher realm and hurled into the world below with it’s unrelenting speed, clouds evaporated in their path as it continued without stopping.
Then...A deafening roar rolled across the land seconds later, deep enough to shake rivers from their courses and send wild beasts fleeing from their hiding places to seek some safety.
Vast trails of burning light carved through the heavens, descending at an impossible speed toward the vast terrain... followed by the cataclysmic impact.
BOOOOMMMMM!!!!
The entire land shook, and everything came to a sudden standstill. People who were still awake felt the massive tremor in the ground.
Even the eyes of the higher tier being opened as they could sense something...either a terrifying new threat, or perhaps a golden opportunity...maybe both or maybe not.
....
Inside a grandiose council room, powerful beings sat around a massive table. At the very center of the gathering sat a woman with deep blue hair, looking calmly at the confused expressions of the murmuring people around her.
The urgent matter they needed to address was the sudden appearance of the comet. If it’s an opportunity they could grab and use or another threat of their battles.
"What do you think that blinding light was, Morgan?..." The voice came from the woman’s side, an elder women whose face showed clear signs of old age.
"I don’t know... and we won’t find out if we don’t make a move...that’s just basic knowledge." The women spoke as she felt quite dumb to the question that the elder said to her.
"Then... Madam Morgan, please give us the command to begin the conquest. The blinding light hit far to the west of our territory..." a man said, not daring to lift his head to meet her gaze.
"Hmm... what about the other Families? Have they made a move?.." the woman spoke again, she was quite interested in the matter, but she already knew that a very fierce battle would erupt if the other families decided to intervene. Those factions would seize absolutely anything as long as it helped elevate their power, even now that the power struggle is dead lock as of the moment...
"According to our spies... it’s the same with them. They are still trying to gauge the nature of this sudden occurrence and see if there are any immediate benefits to be reaped." The man spoke again, he’s trying his best to show good will to the women.
"Then... that is good. Send some elite scouts and form a search legion first thing tomorrow." The woman stood up, having no desire to linger around the stinky men at the table, it’s quite irritating for her to have these kind of unnecessary meetings, unfortunately it’s her position that demanded so she can’t do anything about it.
The remaining men were forced to gulp hard at the sight of her voluptuous bod, her ass is clearly busty as it’s clearly lined in her long dress... It was blindingly obvious that she was a top-tier MILF!
...
Quinn... woke up feeling like absolute shit. His body was totally wrecked, shattered bones, internal bleeding, and a hand reduced to a near-paste-like state...but he was smiling.
It was a smile of pure, unexplainable relief as he looked up at the countless stars scattered across the sky. They had finally escaped the Crucible!
He looked down at the women cradled in his embrace. They were still unconscious from the sheer shock and overwhelming aura of the Supreme Nekoball, but fortunately, all of them were okay.
They would wake up within a few hours or days... well, except for Zero, he still don’t know when as her mind is fragile as of the moment and trying to recover as fast as possible...
He didn’t even realize at first that they were lying at the bottom of a crater nearly fifty meters deep. They hadn’t been obliterated by the impact solely because of the protective barrier generated by the orb.
"Nekoball..." he called out to the creature, his very first maid! He hadn’t let go of the fucker even after everything they had been through. He had already vowed to himself to make it his personal servant.
"Yes... my Lord..." the Nekoball spoke with great effort. The state it was currently in was practically half-alive and half-dead, owing to the parasitic insect completely hijacking its brain, which was also the reason why the locket’s activation requirements had successfully concluded.
’Ohh! What a total personality flip! It’s even calling me Lord...’ Quinn felt ecstatic as he heard the creature’s usually mocking voice turn completely obedient.
"What is your name?.." he asked, not even bothering to look at its body because he was too busy caressing the hair of his beloved MILFs while staring up at the night sky.
"I do not possess a name, My Lord..." it replied in a flat, plain tone, devoid of even a shred of its former malice or emotion.
’What?.. How is that even possible?... Well, it doesn’t really matter anyway.’ Quinn could just give it a name without much trouble.
"Then... I will call you Neko." He was far too lazy to think of any fancy name, and calling it "ball" didn’t really fit anymore, so this was the best alternative.
"Thank... you... my Lord," Neko spoke again, her voice as hollow as before.
"Can you lift us out of here? I want to find a safe zone first. We don’t know what kind of place we’ve landed in."
"Yes, my Lord." Neko spoke with respect to Quinn.
Its body suddenly began to expand, transforming into a humongous form! It looked like a gigantic, spherical furry ball, but its coat felt incredibly soft and fluffy compared to before... so much so that Quinn suddenly wanted to sink in and fall asleep right there in the fluffiness.
