With the large Mothership behind him and several Ghost Spaceships around him, Gustav finally arrived at a large city… This city in ruins was actually New York.
Most of the city itself was ruined, there was not a single soul wandering around, and it made Gustav felt inherently concerned about the destruction that has happened.
Mostly, he felt aloof about all of this at the beginning, but now, as he saw all of this ruin, all these patches of blood, corpses, and more below the buildings, he couldn't help but feel quite bad.
Would he have made a difference if he didn't run away? Could he have helped these people?
He thought that maybe…
No.
He wouldn't have been able to.
It wouldn't have given him ti to grind and level up, to gain all these skills in ti.
If he had remained here in the middle of this chaos, he would have gotten caught on all of this and would have died miserably.
It was hurtful to think about it, but by escaping the city and letting many die, he was able to grow strong enough to avenge them all… And save Earth. At least temporarily… for a little bit of ti.
Gustav clenched his fists, as he detected around a few thousand people living in the underground, they had sohow survived through this entire hell by hiding like rats in the sewers.
His thought process had changed a lot in these last days. But it all has been due to the rollercoaster of events, battles, and more.
Using his power as a System Administrator and also with the assistance of Gaia, Gustav managed to generate a ssage through the System of all the people in here. The system was simple.
[It is safe out there, please co out so we can protect you]
Of course, it looked suspicious… But this was the System, this strange power all people had now, many knew that it helped them, and it hasn't ever negatively affected them. It was a power that allowed them to grow stronger after all.
"Do you think that will work?" asked Gaia.
"Well, being straightforward is never a bad thing…" said Gustav.
After a few minutes, Gustav finally spotted the first group of people, as he descended down and helped them, introducing himself as a human-like them, who had finally managed to defeat the invaders.
Of course, so people complained, so said that why didn't he ca earlier, and why did he have to take so long to co, and many other very similar complaints, but Gustav ignored them as he let them inside his Inner World.
He slowly began to find more and more people that rushed to the surface, and so people that went to check above led him underground where he gathered even more people.
After an entire day, he had gathered almost every single person there was left. And they were a lot… Well, not many compared to the actual population of a big city such as New York, but still a large group of people, after all, there were over two thousand people inside his Inner World.
Thankfully, the Inner World had grown bigger each ti he increased his Existence Realm, and Anabelle had continued to divide herself into more and more habitable hos. Just now, she had been absorbing and assimilating most of the ruins around the entire city, reforming concrete streets, houses, and more across the Inner World.
The people, of course, although happy, were still devastated by everything that happened, many were depressed, a lot of people had lost their entire families, they were all dispirited and not unified.
But Gustav noticed that there was still so blaze within their hearts, he noticed that there was still so life within all these people's eyes, that they would slowly progress and move forward.
It was going to be hard to support this many people, as Gustav had to think about many things, even more supervising them so they don't begin killing each other, robing each other, and so on.
He asked for Annabelle and the Monster's help, leaving much Undead as guards, while also leaving Annabelle herself who was divided and present all over these newly made cities, so she could actually intervene whenever she saw sothing wrong going on…
After all of this was done, Gustav moved around the city taking anything he could, he let several divided bodies of Annabelle constantly grabbing more and more debris to remake a new and bigger city, while he also took any food he could find, although the supermarkets were destroyed, there were still so that had things inside, so he took anything he could find, in the end, he ended with quite a bit amount of canned food.
After another day of working hard, things were finally done, and Gustav decided to continue moving across the affected territory for so ti, rescuing anyone he found, which were very few, and visiting any city.
Gustav seed to never take a break, he was relentlessly working, without stopping, he ignored most of the large Dungeons and other stuff, even the giant waves of monsters, which he left for later grinding, and concentrated on rescuing anyone else he could find.
After a week of nonstop traveling through North Arica, Canada, and Alaska, Gustav managed to save a few more thousand people…
But millions died. These people were perhaps the very last remnants.
In the end, Gustav managed to gather around 6 thousand people, all of such people were being currently taught many things about the system by Javier and his group, with the assistance of Gustav's summons.
People were beginning to get a bit more knowledgeable about how things were now, and they were beginning to learn that they would have to work hard from now on.
When Gustav was done, he was already planning to go to South Arica and then the other continents, without even caring about his exhaustion or his wellbeing.
"Master, please take a break!"
Kireina protested against Gustav's idea of rushing right away to South Arica.
"But… I have…"
"Please rest for a bit…" sighed Katrina.
"I agree, you must rest, no buts," said Anna.
"Guardian, you've worked very hard, and I am very happy to have soone as diligent and goodhearted with … But please, rest a little bit," said Gaia.
Gustav realized that he hasn't even taken a break ever since he defeated the Celestial King or the Slarkob Leader…
"Right… Thank you for your concern."
