---Five Minutes Later---
Disoriented by the abrupt change in scenery, the ragtag group of gladiators closed ranks and pointed their weapons at us. With his hands raised, Angron cautiously stepped forward and commanded his comrades to stand down. While his appearance had changed over the years, his gravelly voice was still unmistakable to them.
“You… You son of bitch!”, a male Gladiator shouted, tossing his shield and weapon to the floor. “ANGRON!!”
Following his lead, the other gladiators threw their equipnt to the floor and flocked to him. Violently sobbing as they reached for him, my poor uncle began to cry once again.
“It… It is good to see all of you again, my dear friends.”, Angron softly spoke as he embraced them. “No more hiding in caves or running for our lives. You are safe here with us.”
Burying Angron with questions, his comrades wanted to know exactly what was going on. While he tried his best to answer everyone, I wandered over to speak to my grandfather. As Angron would be busy for a while and others were discussing military tactics, only he would get to hear the good news for now.
“Ah, right!”, Valdor remarked, steering the trio’s conversation in another direction. “Victor has sothing very important to share with you, my lord.”
“Oh, and what would that be?”, the Emperor of Mankind asked, with a playful smirk. “Does it have sothing to do with Ionica being pregnant?”
Staring at him blankly, my grandfather began to laugh at my stupefied reaction.
“In case you were unaware, your grandfather has married countless won over his long lifeti. He has sired at least one child with each of his wives, so he is sothing of an expert on the subject.”, Malcador stated with a chuckle. “You know, prior to the Great Crusade, he was called the- “
“Ahem… My grandson doesn’t need to hear about that segnt of my life.”, the Emperor stated, shooting his friend a look. “Congratulations to the both of you, Victor. Do not worry about apprising Abbess Vahl; we will take care of that. The only problem now is dealing with those pompous nobles. They are going to kick up shitstorm over this…”
“No need to worry, Valdor and I are way ahead of you. He has generously agreed to find potential partners to appease the nobility.”, I inford him.
Expressing his displeasure once again, the forr Captain-General had an epiphany.
“Wait a minute…”, Valdor spoke, slowly turning his gaze toward Malcador. “You are a better diplomat than I am. How about you work that silver tongue of yours and help him out?”
“Glad to see so things never change…”, Malcador grumbled, stifling a grin. “I’ve been in the 41st millennium less than ten minutes, and you are already dumping your work on .”
“Seriously!? Are you still stuck on the one ti I asked you to file my after-action report?!”, Valdor spat.
“One ti?!”, Malcador gasped, staring at him in shock. “Where did you learn how to count, boy? I recall filing your paperwork at least two dozen tis.” Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI★Fire
Getting right in each other’s faces, the two n began arguing over who was right. Though it appeared they hated each other, their tone told a different story. As I was about to head off to find Ionica, Luxion opened a private channel with Jarvis and .

“Show …”, I requested.
Sending his results to , I was taken aback by what I saw. Not only were these people X-gene carriers, but they were also the descendants of X-n. Initially, I assud this ant a group had been transported to Nuceria, but a harrowing discovery changed that. Upon further review, their genetic makeup showed each one was an offspring of several people.
“Pardon , everyone. Can I ask you a quick question?”, I inquired, tapping one of the gladiators on the shoulder. "Did the tyrants who controlled Nuceria possess any special abilities or powers?"
“No, aside from being fat bastards, there was nothing special about them. That said, their private standing armies were full of gifted individuals.”, the female gladiator remarked. “The ones who relentlessly chased us down were all superhumanly strong. Aside from Angron, it took five or more of us to bring just one of them down.”
