My losses here were big. But who said I was out of options?

Did you have the next batch ready? When cornered, one had to use his fortune to save the day.

I got the races and warriors ready this fight spanned over more than a day already. Since Lily’s arrival here, and over a day passed. So the next batch was ready.

I need all the warriors you can secure for me depending only on the humans and races sent here wouldn’t be enough. They could be used as fodders, but wouldn’t support the true backbone of my armies.

Warriors… Hmm… You do know that the meeting is about to begin…

Find me anything, soulers, necromancers, anything you can get for me. Even fallen gods as well

Dammit human Hye! Why do you always seek such cursed beings?!!!

I forgot that my fallen gods were considered as a cursed race in the apocalypse. Of course I could summon as many as I want using my souls.

My soul count was now getting close to the two hundred million mark. But I couldn’t risk doing this.

After all, as this bastard here was getting ready for me using his coin artefact, I had to use my biggest trump card as well.

And that card would cost me one hundred million soul points!

I got no way to spend more souls over fallen gods, or even over dragons.

Can’t you solve it for me? I’m facing a really desperate situation

How bad?

Pretty much close to me getting killed!

That’s bad! What’s your enemy? One of the Hescos? Or what?

A king, a previous ruler of a cluster of worlds

Damn! How come you offend someone like him?!! You are still in your first five quests, right?

Still at fourth

Dammit! Ok, let me see what I can do for you. But… You need to give me time

Ten hours are enough? I thought for a while before adding, I can add five more at most

Sigh! Let me see what I can do then

I closed the chat with him and instantly opened a portal to my second Earth.

One hour here? Nope! I had my second Earth. And that one hour would turn into twenty long ones.

Stay focused and don’t lose hope. I’m going to bring more forces here I sent this message to all my generals, If things went south on any front, other forces could go and aid them. But don’t leave a single front unguarded enough

Then I passed through the portal, with lots of plans in my mind.

Using your precious coin artefact? Ok, let me use my precious world then for my benefit.

Send the races and warriors over once I arrived there, the first thing I did was to call out for my forces here.

They had to train for the next twenty hours and fight monsters over the islands in this trait.

On the way

I welcome the forces and let Angelica’s men here handle them. I gave a strict order to lead them all to fight and train as soldiers.

As for my warriors, I gained five more millions. For some reason, I didn’t feel blessed or joy like before.

I knew that king armies would be in the tens of millions. Or why was he in such confidence to get this war won?

Ok, now it was time to think about what Lily said to me.

She said that the coin would open a battle arena with special rules. We wouldn’t be able to use any of our forces, only gaining what would spawn from the castle each one would control.

So it was a fair fight on the surface, but I knew it was nothing like that for sure.

She said that each king would have to pay a price first in certain currency before the challenge would begin. And that price would be used to upgrade the soldiers spawning from each castle.

If my guess was right, then this king must have a precious source of energy.

From all my experience so far in this damn apocalypse, what was always the currency used?

It was energy! Either stat points, energy crystals, even that god essence I once gained from the illusionist archlord fight… Everything here was weighed depending on energy.

So that currency would also be related to energy. And that king seemed to get himself a high form of energy, something that would beat anything else anyone here would gain.

His confidence? I now realised where it came from.

It wasn’t from his vast armies, but from the fact that I was still in the fourth quest grade of the apocalypse.

Under any logic, there was no chance for someone like me to get his hands over anything precious as a source of high grade energy.

So in the eyes of that king, I was doomed!

But at least he knew that my energy source came mainly from my unique bones. My bones were one of the kind, first to appear in this universe.

He was in deep slumber. That meant he never got the news of me fighting using bones, or got a whim of my bone news spreading all over the universe.

He underestimated me, and it was great for him to do so. Like this, I got a chance.

I had a diamond grade bone. And it came from a dark realm monster! That meant its grade would become much higher than any other bone I had.

Other than bones, I got another precious currency to use; my souls!

They were also a unique form of energy. Yet I didn’t like the idea of sacrificing my souls for such a battle if I had a choice.

So I got at least a head up about what I was going to face. That king had his forces and his mysterious source of power to depend upon, and I got my things to ruin his plans.

Then it came down to the dark path if I ever was cornered there; my resurrection!
