Chapter 232 232: Part 1: The Return
[System Announcement: Aspirant Cole 'World Breaker' Raion Is The First Aspirant To Discover The Fifth Floor! +1 Diamond Rank Prism Of Metahuman, +5000 To All Stats! +5 Million Gold!]
[Access To The Fifth Floor Would Be Restricted For Two Real World Months While Lottery For The Next 100 Million Aspirants Will Be Going On! The Current Aspirants Still Active In The Event, Can Seed In 5 People For A Guaranteed Spot In The Pool! The Rest Would Be Chosen Randomly.]
[The Path To The 5th Floor Is Currently Restricted! Spawn On 3rd Floor/Logout]
[Logging Out Now]
Cole opened his eyes and sat up rather shocked by what just happened. Two months? He knew there would be new Aspirants added once the fifth floor was opened, but he never knew that it would take two months for the lottery to be carried out. This was a ploy as far as he was concerned, it would mean most people did not have much of a choice but to either return to the 3rd floor, explore, build and grow, or return to the fourth and still keep fighting until they had dealt completely with the waves or the Sanctuaries were rubble.
But it was a ploy, and it was to their advantage. But Cole could not understand why, as far as he knows, up until this point the system has been rather impartial, but this would give the Glades time to develop it would...it would give the incoming Aspirants safe points and spots that would ease them into the event. This was not for them to grow, this was just turning the glades into starting cities and beginner towns in a game.
But in the end he could just be speculating and none of what he just thought about was true, you really couldn't tell with a universe swallowing system. But be that as it may, this was still pretty much to his advantage. It would give him the time he needs to gather himself. And while it would be two months out here, in the 3rd floor with it's 6x times time difference, it would be a year….. a year to master his knowledge And abilities and build up a force that can withstand the storm that was coming their way.
He noticed he was still in Tehilla's room, he chuckled as he noticed she had left him a change of clothes, and funny enough a hand gun and a sword. What did she think he needed a sword for, he stretched out his hand and with a thought [Black Malakai] stretched itself out from what was most obviously a tear in reality. Cole felt a slight headache as he bled from his nose, but other than that, he was perfectly fine. He felt the sword thrill and shake in his hands at the excitement of reuniting with this master even if they were together mere moments ago.
"It's good to see you little one. Do you think you can ease up on the vitality sucking aspect of your power, I'm not as strong here as in the other reality." Cole said to the sword as he got up and started dressing up.
"Negotiating with your sword is poor form for a Demonic overlord, you should establish that you are his master and he is to be doing what you want." Cole nearly jumped out of his skin as both [Black Malakai] and the hand gun on the bed flew into his hands as he whirled and pointed in the direction of the voice he just heard….. his own shadow.
Then he watched with fascination as his shadow stretched, twisted and popped, spitting out Delarosa with her signature dark hood and fiery red eyes seen from Within the darkness of it. Cole blinked a couple of times, then opened his mouth and closed it. He couldn't come up with anything to say in that moment as he was shocked and baffled.
"Even before the advent of the 5th floor, there are already Denizens from the system universe in your reality. You mentioned you had an entire team worth of elite guards that came from various floors, even one's you've not been to get. Crossing over for me is easy, I'm bonded to you by both the oath you made me say and my personal oath of being your protector. Plus I do not like being put in an inventory, I assure you Irma and her clan are not happy about it either. So I came to help you deal with whatever it is you need to deal with here, so that we can get them out. With my current strength which is severely weakened here, I can only bring out one other person as that is limited to how many things you can access from your inventory at a time in your own reality.
Three things seem to be the limit, so there's me and your sword….. you should get your dog, he's an insurer able little twat but his presence would give you an extra set of eyes. Cole rolled his eyes, as he finished dressing, never once stopping as he summoned Neral with a thought, the Cyber Dog Popping into existence above Tehilla's bed, tracking mud allover it as he growled canvassing the room for threats. It was in that same moment Tehilla walked in, and both Delarosa and Neral made their moves.
She was tackled and on the ground before she knew it, a sword and a set of massive mechanical jaws at her throat. Ready to rip her to shreds if she so much as twitch. Cole was surprised enough to dumbfounded for a few seconds, it was Morgan who brought Cole out of his stupor.
[Master Engaging The Alarm And Engage And The Ship's Interior Defenses To Smite These Intruders!]
Cole raised an eyebrow at Morgan's choice of words, but never the less he had to deescalate the situation as fast as he could.
"Neral! Delarosa! Please get off my wife, and Morgan stand down they're allies."
[They Don't Seem Like Allies To Me Master.]
Cole rolled his eyes as Delarosa got up without a change in expression and Neral looked like he wanted to the ground to open up and swallow him. Tehilla didn't say anything, she just stood there, glaring, at Cole. He swallowed as he said.
"Wow… now that we've gotten that pesky introduction out of the way, who wants a snack, I'm famished!"
