“You are right,” I nodded in agreement, “I’ll do my best then.”

It came down at the end to me. I got to solve all this and lead everyone to victory.

It was just like what she already said earlier, it was all down to me to carry them all towards the end. And for a moment there, I couldn’t tell if she was joking or telling the truth from the beginning.

Or she just got a bit lucky or something.

“I’ll go now tiger to do my stuff. Make sure to give them hell. At the end of all this, we can all sit around the fire and celebrate our victory, laughing to our heart’s content about all this.”

“Sure, good luck,” I didn’t know why but for a moment there, she changed. She looked a bit mature, more mature than what I initially thought or knew about her.

For a reason, I felt like she got something taken off her chest when she heard about what I learnt. She looked as if what I said gave her a final hope, a glimpse of hope of getting freed from all this hell.

And such hope made her look and act like this, like someone totally alien to me.

But I liked this version of her more than the old one!

“Ok, time to think about what to do,” I rubbed my hands while looking at her shadow getting far away.

I knew more of my forces and generals would arrive here with the merge. And that alone was enough to stabilise everything at the early clashes.

I wouldn’t just get my forces and generals back, but also my capital, my kingdom, my allied races, and also my enemies.

So there was no need for me to worry about my forces here or scattered at the worlds and zones in this universe. I got to worry about something else.

The enemy made sure to select one of his home base worlds as the one to be the centre of the merge.

So it was safe to assume that the forces coming here, the ones that would be at the worlds getting merged, would all have tons of forces.

And the enemy must have a way to link all these worlds together, helping in moving out his troops and armies, the same as me.

In other words, the real fight was going to be between me and them, my forces versus theirs. If it was just a battle of numbers and armies, then I wouldn’t have any need to worry.

But if I was the enemy, then the first thing I’d make sure to do was to gather up most of the incoming forces, let them all get focused and stationed at the worlds that had the bombs.

The enemies weren’t fools. They already noticed how my forces looked and acquired parts of these bombs.

And so I was going to aim for these bombs from the start. And they would move all their forces to safeguard these bombs from me.

I didn’t know how big their reinforcements were going to be, but I got to assume the worst.

“I shall expect lands and skies filled with endless enemies and forces I never heard of before,” I took a deep breath, while considering my options here.

With the cube, my beloved and magical cube, I could suck in any forces and turn them to my side in no time.

I also got my techniques, my warriors, and even the long missed access to my second Earth world.

All this was enough to make me enough to face them and fight evenly with these folks. But for a reason there, I felt like the enemy wasn’t going to let me have my chance to do any of that.

“They saw me do lots of things here. And they always came up with something to negate my abilities and powers. If they found a way to stop me from using my cube, interfering with my threads, then things would be on the shoulders of whoever got the most force here.”

It was something that I didn’t want to see. After all, I wasn’t aiming to annihilate all the enemy forces out there. I wanted to infiltrate their forces, go deep into their lands, and look for these bombs.

“Looking for the bombs is another headache that I have to solve as well…” I realised that even if I did infiltrate their heavily fortified lands, everything would end up quite bad as long as I didn’t come up with a way to detect these bombs.

“My mirror world helped in revealing the secrets of these bombs… Can it also help in detecting them?”

I looked around, and decided to give such a theory a try.

I got more than two days left before the merge would be over. If I could find a way to solve this problem, then things would shift for the better for me.

At least I’d know where these bombs were, target their locations, kill the enemy out there and fortify the area around.

As for how to get them out, well… I would get the help from another card I missed all this time; my research department.

Up till now, I didn’t need to use any of the weapons this department invented. And when the merge would be over, I’d give them the task of making gigantic drilling gears, enough to dig deep and fast into the toughest rocks and any kind of terrain.

Make sure after the merge is over to send someone over the research department at the second Earth world

And?

Let them make out as many drilling gears as they could. I want the biggest, strongest, the fastest gears they can ever make! Let them take this matter as top priority!

Got it!
