Arthur kept releasing his monsters for an entire day before finally he got three good news at the same time.
'I'm back,' Gege said in a cheerful tone, 'wow, I just slept for a few hours and you got yourself a grand army of monsters… impressive.'
He laughed before saying, "I want your help, can you take parts of the old monsters for them to feed?"
'I can, but how much do you want? Will you cook them?'
"I believe they won't mind the taste," Arthur smiled before flying towards his pet, which he named John.
"John, I have good news for you," he said and the pet turned his huge head towards him. "I've special kind of meat, one of the types that would push you and your strongest monsters towards the next stage of evolution."
"Roar!" John seemed not to get what he meant yet he was slightly excited.
"I want you to select a handful group of a thousand monsters… select only those strong already and you trust, alright?"
John roared again before he turned his head and kept roaring in low tone towards some others.
And in less than half an hour, one thousand monsters appeared surrounding Arthur and John.
"You… only selected the adult monsters of your group!" Arthur was surprised by his decision, yet he didn't argue with him about it.
After all, he knew this chance would give more power to any monster here and it would be wise indeed to give such a chance to only those who wouldn't cause trouble or betray them later on.
"Bring the meat out," he simply said and Gege started to take out large pieces of meat.
And the entire world changed the next moment.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
All of sudden all the monsters around roared, and even Arthur heard faint roars coming from the far horizon. "Damn! This is like the treasure I once had when I first came to that world," he couldn't help but bitterly laugh while realizing what was going to happen here.
"Go," he urged John, don't wait for others to arrive and start evolving now!"
John didn't wait for his permission. In fact the moment these enormous pieces of meat appeared he and others jumped over them and started gulping over the meat in a big appetite.
And Arthur watched their action in amazement before laughing.
'You know having such monsters won't greatly help.'
All of sudden he heard the long awaited voice of his old dragon. He was speaking in a weak tone, but he was awake. And that made Arthur's eyes shine brighter.
"You finally decided to join the party," he laughed.
'I had deep wounds and needed to rest,' the old dragon said, 'but I never expected you to come all the way to such a high world so soon. Or did I sleep too much?'
"The system can brief you about what happened," Arthur simply said, "but why did you say they won't be enough?"
'I knew some from the system already,' the golden dragon said, 'so if you are facing an army of tens of thousands then you have a chance, but such a grand army marching towards here can't be stopped by such monsters alone.'
"They are over a million in number!" Arthur argued.
'Not enough,' yet the golden dragon firmly said, 'those living here are used to facing such monsters.'
His words made some logic inside Arthur's mind. "So do you prefer to make them all evolve?"
'Not enough,' the golden dragon sighed, 'also you can't possibly evolve the entire million monsters at one go. You don't have enough meat or time to wait for their evolution to end.'
"Then what should I do?" Arthur was puzzled and his initial confidence crashed under the words of the golden dragon.
'You need to summon more,' the golden dragon said, 'or seek alliances here.'
"There are none," Arthur firmly said, "I'm sure they wouldn't take the trouble to summon me all the way here and let me find alliances."
'Ding! We are depending on the arrival of the godfather,' the system said.
'Simply a risk without much credibility,' the golden dragon sighed, 'how do you know he will receive the message? Come here in time? It's a bet, a losing one in my opinion.'
"Then what do you suggest?" Arthur started to get annoyed by this dragon.
'It's simply, as they summoned you to this world, you can also summon your allies here.'
The words of the golden dragon startled Arthur as he instantly asked:
"How? Can this be done?"
'You have three forces coming from three different worlds and clans… just use them as a guide and I'll tell the system about the means to start making the grand summoning array,' the golden dragon said before yawning, 'I doubt I have much time left for me to do that personally. Plus you have an advantage you never thought of.'
"Which is?"
'The large number of monsters under your disposal here,' the golden dragon laughed, 'they can be a good source of energy to supply such an array and link it to many worlds for at least one day.'
"one day? I need only one hour to get enough reinforcements here," Arthur's eyes shone brightly, "alright, tell the two what you know and you can go back to rest."
'I'll do that,' the golden dragon yawned, 'I can't even keep my eyes open anymore.'
"Thanks for the help and have a nice nap," Arthur was now in a better mood while Gege came to deliver the third nice news for the day.
'Doaf is ready,' she simply said before adding, 'he has finished building a tool that would deliver the message to the godfather.'
"Hahaha, more good news," Arthur laughed, "take him out, let me see what he made.
The next moment a portal appeared and Doaf came out, dragging something gigantic behind. "I've done it," he said with a wide smile over his face.
Arthur glanced at the strange shaped box Doaf was dragging behind. It was like a giant cage but with no spaces between the bars. "What's inside?" he asked.
"Pure form of energy," Doaf said, "this way we can deliver the message to wherever he is."
"Amazing," Arthur said in content, "now I need another task from you."
"A- Another?" Doaf was speechless before he realized something. "Are they friends or… enemies?"
He vigilantly glanced all around before Arthur calmed him down. "They are our allies," he said, "and we should invite more allies as well."
And Doaf turned to glance weirdly at him with a loss.
