Cole listened idly as the top ten asked their questions…..well four of them anyways. When it got to Eze's turn he had deferred all his questions to Cole. Whether it was on purpose or just by chance, the sequence had gone up from the lowest to the highest, which was why Cole was last.
He took a deep breath, channeling his inner politician and gestured to the council. "All of you are pathetic, having to deal with fools who no longer know the status of things is nerve grating and frankly speaking I have half a mind to track you all down and tear you to pieces. But since we're all pretending to be civil, let's pretend...but I will give you the harsh truth never the less, it should serve enlightening for you all." Cole paused waiting for the deluge of outrage and threats that would come his way in multiple languages.
"now don't all get you panties in a bunch. I'm trying to help you, if you would listen to me, I would give you access to something that would make it possible for you to have no need of the aspirants. You could build your own army of super powered beings, do so ahead of the curve, get as many strong as possible to retain what every mockery of power you would have left once the Integration happens.
But of course it wouldn't be for free. But before I tell you that, understand this. Every single person here, is just a fraction of a number of the amount of aspirants they now are. These people all of them mostly know what's at stake, so they're pursuing absolute power, power that puts them ahead of every single last one of you.
Your government would mean nothing, your weapons nothing, and you laws…..Nothing! What you see here is the future, the money you offer is pretty much useless. Even those being lazy can make a lot more of that in a few days after some dedicated grinding and questing. So understand money is no longer capable of motivating anyone here, the event has made it possible that not just a few but everyone that's an aspirant can change their lives and be so much more.
So instead of offering us money, offer something more tangible. Something that even if you are all about to become obsolete, you can still be good for. These are the things that would make it worthwhile for some of us to stick our necks out for you now, instead focusing our time on getting strong. Never the less, stopping any dungeon on earth is not a thing that should be done for money, any aspirant that takes money…..I'll end you.
This ugly polluted rock is your home, get off your fucking ass and defend it. The floors would wait, besides…..dungeons on earth man. We can get all the loot and prism right here in our reality. Imagine what we would be able to do with that kind of head start. Never the less nothing is expected of anyone of you, if there's a dungeon in your country, gather yourselves together and claim it. Let me give you a hint.
Dungeons are the doorways to different areas of the system universe. Owned and controlled by powerful forces...they cant send high leveled people over since the integration is still going on. I doubt you would even face a Gold rank but just in case. You claim the dungeon, you can start collecting a toll from anyone on both sides that want to cross over...that kind of money would make our transition to the new reality much easier…..so use your head."
Cole fell silent, he felt like he had said a lot and that it was enough. Yet to him it did not feel like so, he had let out valuable information. It wasn't something that he could have kept to his chest and monopolized. But somehow right here, in his reality that was slowly changing and after all the drama with his family. He did not think it would be right getting in a competition with his fellow humans...not when an entire universe was coming for them.
"You are the Paragon of our universe after all…..what would you have us do?" a middle aged woman asked,she was ranked 3rd on the leader board, Cole couldn't tell where exactly she was from, but he knew she was Asian. But not just her quite a few of the aspirants turned to look at Cole, looking up to him for leadership, and Cole for the life of him became tongue tied.
"The World Union has heard everything you have to say Mr Night, we will make sure, and endeavor to implement proper measures to take advantage of all the advise you have giving." that was enough to draw Cole out of his shock, somehow he felt...acknowledged. It was weird, but being recognized by the top, the true elites of humanity was….humbling and exhilarating. He liked it, he liked it very much.
"I wasn't talking to you, to any of you really. The world is changing, and not many of us here know how to run a government, so we cant be bothered with it. But not me though, I find that I like ruling, because for one I know I can do better, and I know I am the proper shield to stand between the citizens of my country, my continent, my world and my universe and whatever the system will unleash on us once this integration is over. So here is my offer.,,,, are you going to listen or do I have to kill somebody?"
No one said anything, it was almost as if there was a blanket of energy swallowing up the entire earth. Everyone here could feel it, this was a power that could cross even through technology, affecting the very fabric of reality. Cole knew it was coming from him, but what he didn't understand was that with a pending evolution and one at such a high level as 90, his control and potential and through the roof, especially on earth where even if there was energy now, was not comparable to weaker worlds in the system universe. Suffice to say, they all felt like they were in a cage…..with a Monster!
