“Ah, I see,” I paused, while looking at his nine eyes, “I have a weird question… How do you… Marry each other and give birth to kids while wearing these suits all the time?”
“This…” he seemed to be taken aback by what I asked. Of course that was just a flash of an idea in my mind, one that I didn’t tell any about it later as I said:
“Forget about it. So these folks are after these artefacts’ creations?”
“Yes, lord. They seek the price by using a currency produced by these worlds. Even tree leaves have value, and each artefact’s products are different according to their grade of maturity and the density of energy inside.”
“And who gets to determine all this? Don’t expect me to work my ass off to get such valuable and priceless things and in return I’d just throw away the products over ones that aren’t bound by the system!”
“Lord, I did mention before that there are rare, extremely rare impacts who act as middlemen in such dealings. To us, we can use the power of the system to do the trade.”
“And how come the other universe guys trust these folks?”
“They got a few of their people also working as part of these impacts. And they got their own ways like ours to ensure they wouldn’t get conned by them.”
“Ah, I see…” I paused while thinking about all this, “and you do know of such weird and special impacts?”

“Tell me then, are these magical artefacts close to this little crystal of mine here?” I didn’t give him time to continue his words, took out something from my inventory and raised it high and close enough for him to see.
I took out a crystal, one that was oval in shape, and in the length of almost my forearm. He looked at this crystal clear white crystal with blue and faint orange fog swirling inside from time to time.
Looking at it would give anyone the impression that it has a bottomless pit inside, like an entire miniature world that was shielded from our sights by this fog.
“This… Lord… This…” and when I took it out, I saw the body of Oglak trembling out of immense shock for the first time ever.
“Hahahaha!” I stored it away. It was one of the artefacts I got recently from the twenty-five sovereigns, the most precious one to me, the one that could bind anyone and turn him into a warrior. “If this is what they need, then I can supply their demand, hahahaha!”
Of course I was damn excited! It was a great deal and trade, even if it was done with the enemies. They got something they didn’t need, and I got something I wouldn’t use that much of.
So what was the problem in exchanging both together? The things they got and were useless to them were very crucial to my survival and ascension to glory.
Forces that were captured at the outer battlefield? They were all strong! Not to mention the treasures looted from the dead bodies of these forces.
Anything coming from there would be priceless to the current me! But the question was… What was the value of the things born from my artefacts?
I only used two so far, one to build a world for my necromancers, and the other was that ancient life shrine world.
The former was already growing on Earth, and the latter needed more time to grow up in the pocket world.
“Lord… Do you really have it? Damn! I can’t believe my eyes! Damn! Are you really a human?!!”
“Hahahaha,” I laughed, while waving my hands around, “I’m a human race descendant and a prodigy, what’s wrong with that?”
“N… Nothing… It’s just…” I got that he had such a deep shock deep into his bones. He said it himself, he did this kind of trade before.
Was he the one having such artefact? I doubted it! He must have been serving a mighty overlord of his race.
And what did that mean? I was already at a level close to that mighty old lord of his.
And that was why he looked in such a shocking state when he saw my treasure.
What if I told him I got more, lots more of these? Hahahaha! I bet he might get a heart attack or something.
“Come on, tell me,” I suddenly said amidst my laughs, “how the heck do your people sleep with their ladies?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Lord… It’s not appropriate to speak about this! And… Right now what’s more important is… Damn lord!”
“Hahahaha!”
I was just teasing him. Of course I wasn’t just joking, as I got some sort of use for this little piece of info.
They have to have something to use to let part of this suit vanish, or some way to get past the suit when sleeping together.
Or just sleeping with each other while wearing such thick and heavy suits would be a torture not a pleasure.
“Let’s talk business then,” I returned to the main point, “can you contact that impact and get me this deal?”
“Well… Lord… I know it’s awesome that you got such a treasure and such… However it’s not just about magical artefact possession…”
“Who said this is the only one I got?” I said, and for an entire five minutes he kept shaking and silent without saying anything. “Hahahaha! It’s damn unfair to get your face covered with that mask, hahahahaha!”
It was a real regret to not see his face at the current moment. Damn! Couldn’t it be removed? How come they fall in love or admire someone of the other gender?
Or they didn’t have other genders and were only mating with themselves? Damn! Don’t tell me this was the case with such a weird race!”
“Lord… You are really… Can’t be read from the cover at all!”
