“You…” Just when I arrived at the outer layer of this zone, and was inspecting the area around out of habit, I spotted something flashing in the distance.

It was something that couldn’t be part of locusts filling the world here. I used my Hawk Eye skill at once, to end up seeing a big flying thing in the air.

It was one chariot that I knew, one of the ones I gave to my generals before.

I didn’t need to consider who came all the way here and waited in the far distance like a sneaky thief.

It was the jumper! That jerk did something even I didn’t expect!

He led his chariot all the way to here, and thought I’d not notice him. What did he expect? To slip through the portal I’d pass through without me noticing his presence or what?

Was he this desperate?

For a moment there, I felt sympathy towards him. He was indeed a poor man, or a lady. That damn god played his cards too well without doubt.

“Wait! Don’t go!” and the moment I intended to turn my chariot around and leave this world through a portal back to the central region, that jerk shouted from far in such a desperate tone.

“Sorry pal, but there are a few things you don’t know about your god and can’t tell you about them for now,” I shouted back before opening a portal and vanishing through it.

And from behind, I heard tons of curses and shouts, ones that made my heart feel heavier.

That dude was supposed to be a great figure in the apocalypse thanks to his heaven defying ability. But somehow, he ended up getting played with such a twisted minded god.

If he got another god, or even if he didn’t get any god at all, then he’d have not ended in such a pathetic way.

If not for me, he’d keep jumping over in between apocalypses, living a life of hell instead of acting like a king.

Tsk! It wasn’t just about obtaining heaven defying abilities, but how to properly use these.

I returned back to the central zone of that world before jumping back to ground zero. Lily was still there, leading the entire operation out.

I briefed her about what happened, warned her of what that jerk might do out of desperation.

At the same time, I told her to be lenient with him. I already hammered him too hard, and it wouldn’t end up good if she did the same.

After dealing with this little hiccup, I randomly selected another zone and jumped at its outer layer.

And this time I made quite sure there were no hidden uninvited guests here before finally moving my chariot towards the thick layers of enemies.

During all this, not a single general of mine issued a sound. They watched me spot the jumper and decisively jump away from that zone without any speck of hesitation.

I acted decisively, and that was what burdens the true leader should shoulder.

“Get ready,” I said to them, “we are going to a totally hostile world.”

I didn’t intend to waste any time fighting the locusts or Silences here. My plan was simple, to use my chariot and its shield as a wrecking ball, smashing all the enemies standing in front of the portal I randomly selected, before flashing through that portal.

However I totally missed one thing in my simple plan!

The moment I got closer from the portal, all the enemies around got stirred up. The locusts tried to get to my chariot, even jumping, climbing each other, and forming huge hands made out of their bodies.

They tried to hit my chariot and jump in, yet their effort was blocked by my chariot’s shield.

No matter how many came and hit my chariot, they all bounced back over the shield, falling like big rain drops over the ground.

The failure of the first waves of them didn’t stop others from coming at me, especially when my chariot got closer to the ground, trying to get through the portal that lay up front.

The portal was like a big stone gate, with a thin film of soap like layer which emitted endless locusts by each second.

It was so broad to cover up a mile in length, but only reached the height of fifty metres only. That made me lower my chariot to almost touch the ground, trying to get through it directly without any problem.

That made it much easier for the locusts to try their best against my chariot, and even the Silences standing on watch and guard started to act.

They were the ones who had brutal strength, yet that strength didn’t matter against my chariot’s shield.

My shield here was made entirely out of energy. So facing the energy based attacks of these Silence elites meant nothing to my shield.

In return, the Silences got to be thrown away by the fierce impact with the shield.

And then a fierce impact assaulted my chariot, violently stopping it in track, before sending it flying backward.

When my chariot stopped spinning, I recalled what happened and was surprised to see a thick layer of shield protecting this portal.

Was this a coincidence? Or did they activate a protective shield here?

“I’ll try again,” I decided to randomly select a far away portal before doing the same. And yet the same result happened.

A fierce looking shield that was made entirely out of blazing red energy enveloped the entire portal, protecting it from me.

Damn! I thought about everything and never thought the enemy would protect all of their portals like this!

But even if they did that, they wouldn’t dream about stopping me here!

Shields? Humph! I was the killer of such things!

But what made me quite puzzled was these shields. If they had such a way to protect the portals in front of my shields’ strong skills, why didn’t they use it before?

This was something quite puzzling, and yet I got such a sturdy looking shield to crack.
