Chapter 1395: You Wanted To Play God
Author's Note: Unedited Chapters
'Finally...' He muttered while retracting his telekinesis.
The materials in mid-air instantly fell to the ground, alerting the floating metallic heads around.
"Inhabitor 001 seems dysfunctional," A mechanical voice rang out from one of them as it approached Endric.
Endric stood upright and slowly turned in the direction of the incoming metallic head while raising his right arm.
A large invisible force suddenly wrapped itself around the being and before it could even react, it got pulled towards the ground aggressively.
Bang!
The moment it heavily slammed into the ground, the other heads realized that something was seriously wrong.
They began flying in Endric's direction but he proceeded to unleash his telekinetic energy in waves.
Srreeiiii~
A tingling and invasive energy spread forth, giving Endric an internal analysis of the four metallic heads charging in his direction.
The metallic heads being unable to sense the danger of the invasive force crawling around their insides, approached fearlessly.
Endric proceeded to close his fingers into a fist and pull back with force.
Thrriiiihhhh! Thrriiiihhhh! Thrriiiihhhh! Thrriiiihhhh!
Four square-shaped objects ripped through the insides of the metallic beings and tore out of their foreheads.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
The metallic cauldron-sized heads instantly lost power and fell to the ground never to rise again.
Their power cores floated before Endric and he stared at them with a reminiscent look.
"Brings back memories," He muttered before swiping his hand like he was waving.
The power cores vanished in the next instant. Endric then placed his hand on the purplish shackle around his neck.
Krankkk!
Cracks appeared all over it as it dislodged from his neck and fell to the ground.
"I assume this is being monitored so I need to head to the others immediately," Endric turned to the side and blinked.
Zing~
His figure instantly vanished and he reappeared millions of feet away from his initial position.
He noticed he was standing in the middle of a long-legged, two-limbed species. They were stomping on unknown fruits that had been harvested and placed in a circle. They seemed to be making a liquid of some sort.
'I know they were taken in this direction but I don't know the exact place,' Endric said internally.
-'Do you see the red towers?' Gustav suddenly asked since their mind transmission was still operational.
'I am not sure,' Endric replied before leaping upwards.
Fwwhoommm!
He ascended more than five feet tall and noticed a slope northwest that extended downwards. In the distance, the line of red towers could barely be spotted.
'I see them,' Endric conjured a telekinetic board while speaking.
-'Good, when you arrive there, turn westwards and keep heading in a straight line... they are four hundred thousand feet away,'
Endric proceeded to blink once more. He flew atop one of the red towers and turned west as Gustav instructed.
Blink!
He vanished again and reappeared above a crowd of humanoid, insect-like beings. Every single one of them seemed to be busy with redirecting the flow of some energy emitting from massive machines scattered across the entire vicinity.
'Found them,' Endric stated and descended with speed.
'How do we get out of here?' Endric questioned the moment he landed in their midst but there was no response.
'Big brother?' He called out internally.
Silence~
'Looks like the link is deactivated,' Husarius voiced after some time.
What Endric didn't know was that, after the activation of the domain of complete darkness, Gustav couldn't keep the mental transmission going.
"Let me get the collars off them first. Maybe we can find a way out afterward," Endric stated while spreading his telekinetic energy out.
....
Outside of the Zonpaktu, the space vessel was in disarray. Millions of metallic structured heads just like PO moved about frantically. They had been given some set of instructions and just as they were setting out to do that, another alarm rang out informing them of an anomaly in Zonpaktu.
The dark metallic structured heads were now at a loss as to what to do since their master was in trouble and a being had just freed himself from bondage in Zonpaktu. This was a situation they had never experienced before.
No one had been able to get them to this point of urgency and yet the two brothers who were supposed to be weaker than their master were becoming serious problems.
-"Rank B, head to Zonpaktu and put that slave back on a leash! Rank C join rank B! Rank A, you are with me. We are going to help master!"
A set of instructions suddenly rang out across all levels of the space vessel.
The metallic heads which were initially running around frantically began to file out in lines and speed forward. Now that they had been given instructions, they knew exactly what to do.
PO who was in the makeshift throne room giving these instructions, had arms phased out of its head-shaped body. It proceeded to grab a tool shaped like a torch at the corner of the throne room and sped out in the next instant.
Thousands of other metallic heads that looked just like him, had formed a lineup before the entrance of the throne room.
"Let's go!" PO yelled and flew forward hastily.
Fwwhhiii~
The other heads followed after it as they headed out of the space vessel in one accord.
....
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Within a completely dark space devoid of any light, the sound of heavy collisions rang out causing tremors.
"And you call yourself a sovereign."
Bang!
"If only you could see your pitiful state right now."
Bang!
"You wanted to play god."
Bang!
"Well, how is that working out for you?"
Bang!
"Gus... tav... crim... son... sto..." A voice that seemed to be hyperventilating rang out but what came next was another loud collision.
Bang!
"Tell me how to get them out."
Bang!
Within the dark space where not a single figure could be spotted, Gustav could properly envision everything before him with his perception.
Before him laid a limbless brownish-red figure bleeding from different parts of his body. His cylindrical face was especially swollen with two eyes completely shut.
The person was none other than Seifiling who had been taking a beating at the hands of Gustav for the past couple of minutes.
"Since you cannot be verbally reasoned with, maybe your cooperation will be acquired with violence," Gustav placed his hand on Seifiling's head once more and raised his battered figure.
He arched his left arm back, ready to send another fist towards Seifiling's belly when a loud crash rang out.
Boom!
A powerful energy beam hit the exterior of his domain of darkness causing small rays of light to escape through.
Seifiling saw this as an opportunity but even before the small light could reach him, Gustav turned around and blocked his view with the battered body of Seifiling.
Seifiling's expectations were instantly crushed as Gustav's reflection was unable to properly appear on the surface of the disk, ruining his chances of sending him to Zonpaktu.
The domain instantly closed up back but what came next were barrages of attacks.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Your minions are here," Gustav stated with an unbothered tone.
He could sense that there were over a hundred thousand of those metallic heads raining powerful attacks on the domain of darkness but the first one which was the most powerful hadn't landed since then.
Gustav assumed it was done by the most powerful of all the metallic heads, PO. He strengthened the domain for when it would attack again.
"Do you think they will be fast enough to get in here before I end you?" Gustav questioned with an icy tone.
"Do... Do I deserve to die? I never killed anyone," Seifiling weakly voiced out.
"Not when you turned my little brother into a slave and nearly did the same to me. For touching him, you already deserve to die a thousand gruesome deaths," Gustav's answer caused Seifiling to remain quiet for a while.
"Tell me how to set them free?" Gustav asked once more while raising his fist.
Seifiling's silence caused Gustav to drive yet another fist into his gut. The number of times Seifiling had spat blood would have one thinking, 'He possibly couldn't have any more to spare right?'
"Are you masochistic?" Gustav questioned before landing another blow.
Bang!
Yet Seifiling remained silent.
"If you're thinking about holding out until they get in here, think again. You'd be long dead by then and I will figure out how to get them out on my own without your assistance since you have chosen to be useless," Gustav voiced while driving another fist into Seifiling's chest.
"Hahahahaha... kuuurhhh! Kurrhh! Hahahaha!"
Seifiling suddenly began to laugh hysterically while coughing multiple times in between.
"Hmm?" Gustav couldn't help but display a troubled expression the moment he noticed this.
"Do you want to know why I am laughing?" Seifiling questioned while still chuckling.
"Not necessarily, no," Gustav answered before giving the limbless being an uppercut.
Seifiling was sent flying to the end of the domain.
