When I took my time in having fun, I finally spotted many places where lots of fights were going on around.
"Time to see if these dudes are up to the task or not," I didn't hesitate and summoned my new Kings, took out one million and gave them a single order, "kill any hostile forces here, save my people. And don't forget, you'll get only half of the souls you'll absorb."
"Yes, lord!" everyone bowed midair, before starting to move fast towards several directions.
The one million I took got divided into seven smaller armies, each headed towards one of the hot zones here.
As I had nothing much to do, I started to take a wide tour, examining the current situation here.
It was simply disastrous!
This was indeed new land, but it got filled with many of my forces. Even if they were inside the same region, each was fighting on their own without having a chance to get to other forces around.
They weren't blind nor deaf, they were just deprived of any chance to do so. In front of each force, a huge army of different races were fighting against mine.

"They made sure to bring forth their allies and send them to many places to kill my forces… It's like a big hunt festival for them…"
I saw how bad the current situation was, and couldn't help but think of other places. If such a situation got repeated, then most of my forces would get annihilated in such a way.
However, that all changed the moment my Kings joined the fight! They were quite domineering, cruel, and unstoppable!
They moved and flashed through the bodies of the enemies, just acting like my soulers. Nothing stopped in their path, and no matter how the enemy tried, they couldn't break through their layers of defence.
Be it the shields, the armours, even their combined defensive techniques… All stood in the face of the terrifying attacks of the enemies.
The moment my Kings joined this battle, the enemy lost their edge at once.
"Run back and join other forces, merge together and start taking down the enemies as one whole army," I took out my horn and shouted at my forces. They got a chance to breathe at last. And they got to use this chance in doing what they should have done a long time ago.
Seeing the armies all around starting to move inwards and merge, killing any enemy stopping in their faces, I knew this battle here was going for the better eventually.
And so I didn't stand there for another second, used my staff and jumped back to the land of portals.
This was a whole single world, one that would solve lots of my earlier problems and headaches. I didn't forget to save the location I just visited, as I did with many others later on.
I started to pass through portals, going to new places that I never saw before. Each time I visited a place, I found the same situation happening over and over again.
I did the same, took one million of my Kings out, let them stabilise the situation before asking everyone else to regroup. On many occasions, I didn't just find one group of forces in the region, and spotted lots of other fighting places around.
I didn't hesitate to move fast and interfere to help them as well. But as I knew how huge this new world was, I was sure even by all this, I'd not be able to save even one hundredth of my current forces.
I kept jumping and helping my forces for a few hours, until I visited the last portal at last after ten more hours.
[Please tell me they already established the portals I asked for] After getting done from all this, I didn't stay idle, calling back all the king's I scattered before, while asking Lily this.
My Kings already did their part, bought enough time for my forces to regroup, killing tons of the enemies. I knew they were going to grow stronger, but I didn't care about how little they improved for now.
If they were going to eat up souls to evolve, then such a process seemed to take a long time. The good news was that they wouldn't be limited by anything, not like other forces that got limited by the current level of the apocalypse I was in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThinking about this made me question what stage my current apocalypse was.
[Yours is still in the fifth quest] and when I asked the higher up, he instantly responded like this, [You need to win this entire thing for all the stages to get cleared and you'll be on the same level of power as anyone else who managed to clear their apocalypse before]
"Ok," I knew this wasn't good news, but it was something good after all. The moment this quest would be over was going to be the moment the entire apocalypse would be over.
And with that, all of my forces and races would get the ability to increase their levels to the max. According to what I knew, the highest level was ten thousand levels, which was something quite scary and formidable for sure.
But this was an idea for another time, a thought for later not now.
[The portals are already established… But the current situation doesn't look that good]
[I'm trying my best. Let others try theirs too]
[We are! But the enemy… They are endless and quite prepared!]
[I saw them] I paused, [Let's hope we'll end up with half of our initial forces]
[I also pray for that]
Even she had the same pessimistic vision about all this. I sighed, closed the chat and looked in a certain direction.
