As I expected, he traded a few of his things in return for a few artefacts.

Legend didn’t know what the jumper traded or what he got. But I could easily tell.

‘This dude got nothing of value except knowledge about me,’ I got that was the role he played with these dudes. And in the end, it’d pour into my advantage.

That dude didn’t know lots of my secrets, and everything he knew was about the time of me fighting in the apocalypse, gaining more forces, crushing various races, and establishing my kingdom.

He knew nothing about my deals with the Toranks, or how I did that in the first place. He knew nothing about how I got my bones, or the different troops I got from the Toranks and other weapons and such.

What he’d tell me would magnify my image of everyone, and that appeared clearly in the way Toramos dealt with me at the last meeting.

He always gave off a higher air as if he was higher and stronger than me. He got a point to think so, but that didn’t mean he was quite right.

From what the jumper said, everyone knew how truly deep my background was. They got how truly strong and formidable I truly was, to the extent of fighting on different fronts, against formidable foes, without even feeling a pressure.

And the most remarkable thing was that, all this happened just at the same time. Which was something none of them would accomplish even if their apocalypses were about to end and they were the sole rulers there.

And just as I started filling the zones with my warriors, I received the messages of the opening of the portals to the other worlds.

I went to ask, and got to know where these portals opened.

Luckily, the system seemed to do something again and the portals just opened in places controlled by my forces.

That was the case indeed in the twenty zones under my control. As for the other eighteen zones of others, things were still quite chaotic out there.

Not to mention the portal to the twentieth world was still closed.

I kept taking out forces, leaving them behind while everyone took care of the stat issue. At the same time, I made sure to leave behind a few million soulers, tens of millions of geared warriors, while preparing myself to not see them again.

I didn’t feel that pain actually, or might have felt a little pain for a few moments. Then when I recalled the eighteen rich lands filled with fiends and gears, I couldn’t help but grin.

What if I lost these forces? I’d still end up getting more bones, and tons of gears.

In the end, it was an acceptable exchange, a price I should accept to get more gains in the end.

As for that jumper, I didn’t care about what he was going to do. It wasn’t a surprise when I heard from Legend about him going towards one of the unexplored home bases of the enemy.

In the jumper’s eyes, this was a golden chance to invade the enemy’s homes and bases. The enemy was trying his best to stop us everywhere, and with the opening of the nineteen worlds, they had to pour tons of force into each world to secure it from our grasp.

Not to mention the grand battle waiting for me at Toramos’ zone.

So he believed things would go quite easily by invading the enemy’s homes. And I had to admit, he got a point, and yet he underestimated the enemy.

The enemy stayed here for endless years. It would be naive to expect them to have shallow depths, and few resources and forces.

I was quite sure we didn’t see the full power of them yet. They’d keep many things hidden until the opening of the angelic world, to come and surprise me with their formidable and scary forces.

The jumper might trigger part of such forces to get revealed if he kept invading their homes one by one. And that was the main reason I let him do whatever he wanted.

Putting more pressure on the enemy to force them to reveal more of their true might was something good. I’d stay behind and watch, just like what the jumper described before, assessing everything and modifying plans for the enemy’s hidden aces.

Just like what the enemy planned to do, I also planned to do the same. After all, winning or losing wasn’t going to be decided by the one who got more forces on his side, but the one who knew how to better use his assets and hit the enemy where he never expected, where it would truly hurt.

“Let’s go,” after finishing my task, a thing that took almost ten hours to do, I decided to take Legend and go towards Toramos zone, “you won’t stand by the side and watch.”

“I never planned to do so in the first place.”

“Good,” I liked this kid, “I’ll start by spreading out my bubbles, and you just lead the forces in each bubble and kill everything that meets you.”

“I can do that,” he nodded, “but… What about these worms?”

“I have mine as well,” I patted on his head, as he was truly a kid even if he was slightly higher than myself, “just take care of other things. And make sure to not miss a single gear back there.”

“Got it!”

And just like that, I went to a portal leading to the eighteen zones at my ground zero. And there I found many standing on watch, organising things over.

After asking them, I learnt about the portal leading to the Toramos zone. And then I passed through it, ending up at the deadly hot zone there.

“Time to get a bit serious,” and that was the first thing I said when I reached there.

“Holy sh*t! What the heck is going on here?!!!” Legend screamed out in immense shock after standing silent for a few seconds.
