Chapter 1597 A Heavy Liquid
If they wanted, they could just come and fight at another place, blessing others and enjoying the fruits of blessing points.
Then I passed through a portal and appeared back at ground zero.
"As it works, it's better to keep things rolling then…" As I got one continent down, I shifted my gaze towards the other forty-nine continents.
Each continent got two up to five main bases there. And I decided to take these down, saving all the races out there, before starting the mission I should have done from the start; looking for the bombs.
[Make sure to send someone over to other world, ask the research department about the progress of building drilling machines and other weapons]
[Hey! Hey! Who said we got a portal working with that world anymore? Huh?!]
[Oops! My bad… Hold on a second…] I flashed, passed back to the second Earth world, establishing enough portals there, and then returned back to Earth, established the other ends of these portals at ground zero.
[You got them at the portal spot, marked with flying dragons over them] I left lots of dragons there, working to serve in protecting this place and help in relaying orders.
The old dragon ladies riding dragons was something I enjoyed watching a lot. And I wanted such a scene to be revived and be a trend in my new kingdom, of course after all this would be over.
[Got it! Will tell you the news when I get them. By the way, do you want to hear the latest reports about our war?]
[No thanks, I'm quite busy myself at the moment]
[Such an untrusty leader who throws everything back at the shoulders of his subordinates!]
[You forgot to mention that these subordinates are weak and poor ladies and such]
[Screw you!]
I closed the chat while laughing, as she kept pouring her rage over me there. I knew she wanted help if she asked to show me the latest reports of war, but I got my hand tied down.
Till getting at least half of the bases here down, I'd not try to divert my attention over anything else for now.
And now it was barbecue time!
The battle I just won at second base was fun and effective. The new tactics, which were my old ones actually, proved their worth and abilities against the enemies.
Provided that nothing new happened, and the enemies kept using the same losing line up, things would keep heading for the better to me.
This was true for the first five continents I went to conquer. The bases there were the most bustling bases in the enemy entire continents.
I found lots of enemies there, with little challenges or strong foes at all. The strongest were the Exomachines, and they got to be crushed by the swarm of monsters brought out and led by little Qi.
I saved two different races aside from the God race members in these five continents. These two were elites when it came down to melee battles. And I really need them right now.
The god race was really godly and mighty, but they needed capable soldiers to bless. I got tons of warriors, but the experienced and most veteran and capable ones were scattered already all over the entire world.
After getting this map, I was sure Lily started working over to gather the scattered forces of mine. That became clearer day after day, by the appearance of grand gathering spots of my forces on many continents.
These forces were the top and the most elite in my armed forces. But they were far away from here, and that limited greatly from the benefits of the god race members.
That created a situation where the god race got blessed and upgraded themselves, while they just helped the mediocre ones in my armies.
I thought about letting them bless the Kings, the Avengers, and the rest of my soulers and reapers. But these forces were considered busy right now, fighting and killing all the time.
I planned to take a rest after taking down five more continents. Like this, I'd let my elite and top warriors get blessed, and at the same time, I'd start working on my long paused mission.
The enemy was going to get pushed against the wall, and that would turn them into a very dangerous enemy, a desperate one. And such desperate foes would turn their gazes towards one goal; burning this entire world down!
The bomb search and sweep mission! I had to return and look for bombs in the entire eleven continents and defuse them.
And that meant I'd need the research team to get done with the drilling machines and such.
Just as I was lost in my thoughts, while jumping from ground zero towards a new continent, I was faced with a loud bang!
"What is that?!" I turned around, to find myself in the middle of some sort of a heavy lid ball or something. It seemed as if I got trapped, didn't succeed in the jump, failed for the first time ever!
However when I looked closer, I realised that the entire world was in such a state! The entire world was filled with weird heavy liquid, with tons of bubbles inside, and I simply ended up in one of them!
"Thundering Might!"
The first thing I tried was to create a bubble of my own. And it worked, not like how I used it to work actually.
Instead of forming a bubble that could cover up miles or tens of miles, I got one that covered less than half a mile at most.
And even with that, I could see cracks spreading all over its surface.
"Sh*t! This place seemed to isolate the world's energy from my bubbles!!"
I finally noticed what was wrong when I kept summoning and reinforcing the existing shields with others.
Yet it didn't yield any result. The new shields just gave little extra seconds for the old ones to survive, before the same cracks spread all over again.
And that wasn't all. The shields that were supposed to superimpose on each other, expanding the area of their coverage, ended up without expanding a single inch at all.
"If so… Then…" I knew I got the chance to retreat and jump to another base if I wanted to. But something told me I'd start seeing this weird liquid more often.
This was a bit weird actually. A liquid that looked so thick and heavy was their answer to stop me?
I didn't yet try to use my warriors at it, or my special monster forces. But for some reason, I felt bad about using any explosive thing against this fluid.
The thought just flashed by my head when I kept using the shields and didn't help to maintain their integrity. In situations like these, when the external damage and force were irresistible, it was always my choice to activate the backlash effect of my shields.
Releasing a mighty shockwave to cover the world, or perhaps activate dark real bone or something and unleash fire.
Both options were always used by me in such situations, but for a reason I felt a great sense of danger whenever such thoughts crossed my mind.
There was something different in this fluid. It wasn't just a normal entrapping fluid that was designed to delay or even stop me. It was here to do something else.
Don't tell me it could reflect the damage it'd suffer! If so, then trying to take this fluid down was a futile attempt!
The only way out would be through digging a tunnel or a path in the middle of all this fluid. But first, I got to stabilise my shields. And I got a way to do it!
I simply used my bones, absorbed their energy, and released it towards the shields. But I made very sure that not a single speck of my energy would pass outside, or even trigger any attack from the shields themselves.
"I believe that's enough for now…" I stored enough energy that could last these shields for an entire week! And now it was time for me to see how I would crush this new scheme of the enemy.
Using anything explosive wouldn't work. And that meant any warrior race with explosive and destructive abilities wouldn't do.
Soulers, Kings, and reapers weren't a good choice either. The best they could do was to flash away, fight the enemies out there, and leave me trapped down here.
That wasn't a solution at all, it was just the last minute rescue of any incoming threats.
"This is liquid… And that means my Lucas II can try and change it, right?" I thought about using aquatic races to find a way to solve this. But after taking out ten different aquatic races, and even a few aquatic monsters, they all failed to do anything.
That left me with one option, changing the entire terrain and turning it into my favour.
