Once I decided that, I moved out and went directly to Lucias. His soulers were still training, sitting on the ground while their bodies were covered in a thick layer of black fog.

But that fog was shining brightly from time to time, in a regular rhythm. Some of them had a slow rhythm, while others had a faster rhythm.

The faster ones had faint green colour appearing in the black fog. That gave me the impression they were evolving, close from breaking through or something.

But I had to stop them. I could just call them back and store them inside my inventory. However I felt like this would mess up with what Lucias was doing here.

“Make them stop,” I ordered, “the big fight is drawing near.”

“Right away, lord,” Lucias seemed more respectful to me than before. It seemed during this time, and after testing my ability to keep him alive for all these days without struggling, I proved my strength and abilities to him.

In fact the number of souls in my class wasn’t enough to keep him alive here for all this time. However thanks to my boys killing monsters during training, my soul count skyrocketed and kept rising up, making up for what this scary dude here consumed per day..

Adding all the soulers together, my daily consumption of souls was a staggering two million! That was a really high consumption rate. But luckily I kept it under check.

I waited on the side, while Lucias got his men on their legs. My first impression of them was good. They got stronger, and that was good news for me.

“Let’s go,” I called them back, stored them inside my inventory, all but Lucias.

“You will always be on my side,” I told him my decision before taking another tour around.

I appointed Angelica to be the leader of this world during my absence. She did great leading the humans and races here, building almost five big cities and dozens of towns so far.

There was no need for walls or defensive structures. Yet I let her build a few every here and there.

I knew this world was a solitary one, secluded inside the heart of a fierce black hole, with no easy access to it.

But as the system brought me here once, it could bring more later on. Besides, the universe was vast and unfathomable. I wasn’t sure there wasn’t a way somewhere in the universe that might allow foreigners to come here.

The incident that happened to Lucias old mighty world was still fresh in my mind.

They were strong, much stronger than my current human kingdom. They were fierce, much fiercer than my weak humans.

And yet, their solitary world was taken away from them! He said it was thanks to treason, but that didn’t negate the fact that solitary worlds were that safe and impregnable from penetration.

So I asked Angelica to start making forts on the big roads, and build a few defensive towers at the outer borders of the cities and towns.

I didn’t want to overdo it. This wasn’t an apocalyptic world after all. I just wanted the entire clusters of cities and towns to act as a whole unit, work as a gigantic fortress if things went wrong.

“Are you going to leave me behind?!”

She was surprised when she heard my order. I wanted her to remain here and supervise over the entire building process in this world.

“I have many, many capable men who can take over such trivial tasks! Your boy delivered lots of detailed drawings of the entire region. All they need to do is just follow these instructions.”

She was referring to Isac. but she mistook my meaning here.

“I want you to stay here as a backup plan,” I explained, “make your forces here ready. When I need them, you will come out to help.”

“Ah, I see,” knowing that she was going to take part in such a big battle made him chill out a bit. “I’ll focus more on training my forces here then. The time difference will be in our favour. Just wait for tens of millions of forces next time you see me.”

“Just don’t overdo it,” I felt like she was going to force everyone here to be a fighter, “we need them to mate and give birth to many human kids.”

The cities and towns were bustling with life. But without kids running here and there, the general atmosphere seemed like it was lacking a lot.

The cheerful laughs of kids would turn any hell to a heaven. I wanted kids, I wanted as many kids as they could give me. I wanted my race to exceed tens of billions, hundreds of billions and even more!

Mighty races weren’t just strong in their traits, physical features, and cultivation. They got a large number of their kin to fill entire worlds.

Just seeing any big race taking part in my apocalypse made me sigh. They had enough to even send worlds to take part in different apocalypses.

And the most shocking thing was that these worlds came from families inside these big races. How big were these races then?

I wanted my human race to rival them in everything, even in terms of numbers.

“I’ll only support those wanting to be fighters,” she shrugged, and I felt zero sincerity in her tone.

“Sigh! Just don’t force anyone to join the army,” I said in my last piece, “they saw enough of hell before coming here. Don’t add more struggle to their lives. Not after they tasted the sweetness of peace and prosperity.”

“Uhm, I’ll keep that in mind,” she said while I went back to my chariot, opened a portal, and went back to Earth.

The situation there was just exactly as I expected!

Lots of people were running right and left, led by the dragon riders of mine who took the role of guiding their movements.
