“Do you know why we are called Void Walkers and not Time Walkers even though we do so many time-related feats?” Void Walker asked Monkey King with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

“I’ve always been meaning to ask you that. Void refers to space right? You guys would really be better served if you changed your name to Time Walkers.” Monkey King said.

“Well the secret which is not a secret because most of the top powers already know about it, is that Void Walkers are extremely powerful with regard to’| You guessed it. Space magic.” Void Walker said.

“And? How are you planning to cheat? You can’t travel to Planet Earth. You’ll be discovered, caught and banned from the Games forever. Worse, they might even imprison you!” Monkey King said with a frown.

“Oh they won’t dare to imprison me.” Void Walker said airily. “But you don’t have to worry about that. I am not planning to physically go there. All I need to do is to open up a tiny space between here and a few locations on Planet Earth and pass along some key information to several key parties.”

“Of course my plan is not just to inform Elliot, silly. I WILL do that as well of course.’ Void Walker said patiently while thinking “Damn the Monkey is right. I need to tell Elliot as well. Haha.”

“My plan is for YOU to tell your assets there to activate and move out to save him!” Void Walker said while looking at Monkey King slyly.

“Wha-what? What assets? Hahaha I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Monkey King laughed awkwardly.

“You don’t have to lie to me, Monkey! I know that the Great Sage is one of your assets! That’s why you were so affected when he died. And knowing you, it is impossible for you to only have one asset in one place. There must be another, or even a few more assets as back up!” Void Walker glared at Monkey King.

“Well’|” Monkey King scratched his head. freewebnov el.com

“There! You’re scratching your head! That’s an admission of guilt! HA!” Void Walker proclaimed triumphantly.

“Alright, alright. You win. I still have two more assets there.” Monkey King admitted grudgingly.

“That’s great! Two assets!” Void Walker said happily. “Don’t worry about the assets, Monkey. Think about your bet! If Elliot wins, you can plant a million assets on Planet Earth if you want to! And aren’t assets meant to be used in critical situations such as this anyway?”

“Fine! Fine! You win. Let’s do this then.” Monkey King finally threw his hands up in surrender and agreed.

“Good. Come follow me. We’ll tell the rest that we want to lodge a complaint to the Game Master.” Void Walker said.

Monkey King nodded and followed Void Walker who was shouting, “THIS IS INTOLERABLE! WE’RE COMPLAINING TO THE GAME MASTER!”

“Y-Yeah! We are going to complain! Complain very seriously!” Monkey King added before he dashed out of the VIP room.

“Girls, wake up.” Elliot shook them lightly.

“Huh? Have we arrived?” Jessica yawned and rubbed her eyes.

“Brother? Why is the sky on fire?” Jennifer frowned and asked.

“HUH? What’s going on?” Jessica asked in shock.

“Remember how I told you the aliens would come and destroy the cities and unleash the beasts? Well, that’s happening now.” Elliot said carefully.

“Oh. The apocalypse. Okay.” Jennifer nodded and yawned while she stretched.

“Oooo ok.” Jessica said as she stretched as well. “Ugh, I miss my bed. No offence Winter, but your back isn’t meant for humans to sleep on.”

“None taken.” Winter chuckled.

“She said no offence taken. But you owe her a bunny rabbit for dinner tonight.” Jennifer conveyed.

“Okay. And I don’t believe you about the bunny rabbit.” Jessica replied and saw through Jennifer’s schemes easily.

“Er’| You girls aren’t afraid?” Elliot asked them while feeling pleasantly surprised.

“Of course’| NOT! Haha! We have you and your beasts. We’re going to a safe place. We’ll be fine, right?” Jessica said with a smile.

“Of course we’ll be fine!” Elliot immediately replied.

“Don’t worry brother. We’re totally fine. In fact, this might sound a little bit crazy, but I’m even feeling slightly’|” Jennifer said.

“Excited!” Jessica finished her sentence.

“That’s right. Hee hee.” Jennifer giggled.

“Good. Very good!” Elliot nodded approvingly. “We-“

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded near him.

“Elliot Musk! Five legendary beasts are attacking you. Head to your west and make your stand in the cave over there!”

“What? Who’s there!” Elliot shouted in shock.

“We are friends. Go to the cave! We will reinforce you.”

“What do you mean?” Elliot asked with a frown.

But the voice had disappeared without a trace.

“Fi-five legendary beasts? That sounds quite bad.” Jessica gulped nervously.

“Winter, head west. Let’s see if there’s really a cave there.” Elliot said, his brows furrowing deeply. But he did not detect any killing intent in the voice, so he was willing to follow up on her information just to take a look. And if her words happen to be true’| Then a cave would really be a great place to make a stand.

“Yes Master.” Winter immediately turned to her right and ran at her top speed.

As she was running, the sky that was burning up suddenly released countless giant beams of blindingly bright energy.

“Girls, close your eyes and bury your heads in Winter’s back! NOW!” Elliot shouted as he did the same as well. “Winter, hide your head and stop for a minute until the beam passes!”

Winter immediately did as she was told and curled up by a large rock.

BRRRRRRRR!! BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! BRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

The ground began to rumble and shake powerfully as the horrifyingly powerful energy beams impacted California’s cities with highly precise power, perfectly designed and calibrated to vaporize surface structures and life forms while leaving the Earth’s inner crust and core untouched.

Step 1 of the alien’s course of action in preparing a Game World, City-Levelling, had begun in earnest in the State of California.

As Elliot sat still and waited for the massacre of California to end, he couldn’t help but a searing, white hot rage for the aliens to build up within him.
