?
"Holy Sh*t! You actually survived?"
Lucky nodded her head in a smug manner.
Listening to Lucky''s story, Legs felt a whole other level of injustice at fate. ''The heck! I''m supposed to be the reincarnator here, why does it seem that my pet has even more plot armor than I do?''
''While I had to fight my way, killing and taming tons of demons from the underworld, she was chilling in her master''s pce all along''.
''Damn! And not just chilling, her power also freaking grew!''
As he looked at Lucky, his face went red in envy. ''I want this luck!''
''Damn, she didn''t suffer at all, I have to make her suffer a bit''. His devious mind started thinking up conspiracies. ''Should I pinch her cheeks?''
"Umm…, why is your face like that? Are you ok?" A voice interrupted Legs the next moment as he looked up only to see a familiar face.
Legs stood up. "Uhh? Me? Is something wrong with my face?" He touched his face as if searching for what was wrong with it.
Champion Onana chuckled. "Forget about that, anyways, I have something to tell you".
"Let''s talk".
Looking at the face of this Nak Champion, Legs knew that it was serious.
He turned to look at his beasts. "Ok guys, let''s catch upter".
-----
You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning
----
Without hesitation, Ak went to the beast ne.
Unlike before when he just contracted the Wolf, Ak was now an Emperor, he had a whole horde of wolves that he was looking after.
Not just a horde though, unlike his master who was still a miserable single, Ak already had a family of his own after snagging up Nymeria long ago.
Warp Prime also left to the beast ne as he was in the process of emting the others to start his own army of beasts.
The others were no different. Bran tore a portal and left to the Void Dimension; he had his army of Void Beasts to also look after.
As for Predator, he teleported to the Nightmare Beast Ind. He may currently have only 3 subordinates, but they were all powerful andst Legs heard, Predator was entertaining thoughts of mating.
Afterall, the Nightmare Beast bloodline had to replicate.
It was rational but Legs still felt, uhh… peeved.
All the others left except Lucky. From her bodynguage, this Fox definitely had no intentions to leave so Champion Onana allowed it.
Champion Onana went straight to the point as he led a walk around the massive garden. "So, what are your ns?"
Legs looked at Onana, he chuckled. "I thought you said you had something to tell me, not question me".
"…"
Seeing the look on the Nak Champion''s face, he coughed. "What ns?"
"On leaving Darvis".
Legs paused for a few seconds to think. "It has been on my mind since the victory. I''ve not yet hatched any n; I think before making any decision I need to consult with you, it depends on you".
Legs looked at him. "You''re the one with the means of getting us out of the Roronoa Star System, I can''t".
Champion Onana nodded. "That''s why I came to meet you, I want to hear your opinion first, I intend to contact my master today".
"Only an ultra-range teleportation portal can enable travel across Star Systems, it''s how we were able to arrive here for our ns".
"My master can deploy one to enable us go back to Nak Space but…" Champion Onana paused. "Before leaving, there''s something else that I want done, the thing that brought the Bug disaster".
He looked back at Legs. Titania".
Instantly after hearing that term, Legs'' brain whirred as a lot of things went on in his mind. ''Yes! I almost forgot, there''s that too''.
He returned Onana''s gaze. "What is your decision?"
"General Aztog died during the Cataclysm, I am now the highest-ranking soldier of the Nak Navy deployed here both in status and in military rank".
"I don''t intend to give Titania over to the Nak Navy".
"They demanded for Darvis and its resources, mostly Arcanite metal, I alreadypleted my mission, I will give them that".
"I believe with you; we can go there to properly negotiate and hatch out a n that will benefit both sides".
"As for Titania, I discovered it, I won''t relinquish im over it but…" His eyes focused on Legs. "I won''t im full ownership of it either".
He chuckled. "Without you, against the Bug, I am a dead man".
"I will take 50% ownership while you take 50%".
Legs raised his eyebrows. "What of Darvis?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>
"In my opinion, you won the war, not the, their contribution is negligible. Of course, if you are generous, you can share your part with them".
"…" Legs was silent for seconds as he stared back at Champion Onana.
The atmosphere became oppressive for a few seconds as even Lucky almost started squeaking in an uneasy manner, this was when Legs finally smiled.
"Your tone is harsh but fair enough".
"Is that a deal?"
"Yeah". Legs nodded with a smile. "Tell me when you''re ready to go".
"Good, I will go report to my master now".
"Wait, one more thing". Legs looked at him. "When you speak to your master, tell him that he should activate the ultra-range portal after like a month from now, I have other business to attend to".
Champion Onana squinted his eyes. "Which other business?"
Austere".
…
Inside a cabin in the Golden Cicada…
Bzzz!
A virtual projection appeared in the air as a familiar face showed.
"Master". Champion Onana bowed respectfully as soon as the face showed.
For a few seconds, the middle-aged man silently looked at him.
Despite his deceiving looks, Champion Onana knew that his master was already over 8 centuries old as he kept his head down in respect.
"You didn''t die…" He finally spoke.
"…" Champion Onana''s mouth twitched.
"And somehow, you actually came out of that ordeal stronger than before, impressive, you did well".
"Thank you master". Champion Onana finally raised his head. "There were unexpectedplications which increased the projected casualties, but, despite all of it, the mission is nowpleted".
Admiral Zhao looked at his student with a smile on his face. "After using my token 4 times, tell me, how did you do it?" He leaned over curiously.
"…" Champion Onana froze. "How did you know?"
"I give tokens to very few people in the universe, and due to how few of them I give out, I have fullprehension over their activities".
"Despite giving you only 2, I felt you use them 3 times, how? And from what I''m seeing, you still have one with you".
Champion Onana looked down, then he took a deep breath. "I still don''t know what exactly happened yet, I suspect it''s Legs but I''ve not asked him".
"After winning the war, on checking my life wrist-pad, I was surprised to see it recorded that I died during the war".
"The wrist-pad is still glitching since it can''t exin why I''m still alive".
"I don''t know what happened".
Admiral Zhao''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the wrist-pad. ''Is it a Reality-altering ability? No, there''s nothing a Super with such powers will be doing here''.
''Even if he is, there''s nothing valuable here that he can be after''.
''So, is it time travel?''
"Do you think it''s time travel?" He asked his student.
Onana paused to think. "That''s also the most probable reason that I also arrived at, I just don''t understand how it happened".
The Admiral smiled. "The more I know about this new friend of yours, the more fascinating he seems to me, I''d like to meet him one day".
"Will he being?"
"Yes, Master".
"Good". He nodded. "Indicate when you''re ready and the portal will be opened, I already gave the orders for the materials required to be gathered".
Admiral Zhao finally got prepared to cut off the connection.
Just before he could though, Onana interrupted. "Wait…, there''s something else". He looked at his master. "I discovered a Metal …"
"It''s yours". Admiral Zhao smiled at him.
"They knew of your predicament but refused to send reinforcements, what matters is that you fulfilled your mission, there''s no need to do more".
"Take that as the reward for going the extra mile".
Champion Onana smiled. "Thanks".
Admiral Zhao looked at him. "I still believe in your potential, shock me".
