Chapter 732 - Future Roles of the Kartonian Gods
But it was Sterfen who replied to the Elf God, "Actually, I’d like to join forces with you three if that’s alright. There are so things I can’t explain right now but I’ll be needing a task force as well. Choron agreed long ago, as did Guuro and Kori."
"And I want you two!" Both Lorwynn and Hadurt were caught off guard by Skaryn’s sudden statent. "And, Alcahain, don’t forget I haven’t forgotten about you and Jin. You’re coming with whether you like it or not, as will Tyres when Jin is done with him."
"What about Rikko!" shouted the Goblin God, feeling left out.
"I’ve got a special role for you, Uncle Rikko," Jack added. "Your skills in thievery will co in handy, I’m sure."
"Rikko knew Nephew Legend great!"
"So long as Daruun is alright with your team, then I’ll accept it," stated Silas.
Daruun nodded and smiled. "I’m fine with that. With this, Kartonia has already fulfilled the purpose of my creating it. From now on, Jack can use it as a supply of cosmicians while I occasionally select a few here and there for my own use."
"Then it’s settled. Jack, welco to the Resolute Enterprise." Silas welcod Jack with a word of warning, "Like the na suggests, never back down and stand by in the face of anything that dares threaten the life you choose to live. Fail to do that, and you’ll fail the enterprise."
"Wait, just like that I’m in?"
"Yup, but only as a rookie. Don’t expect any assignnts until you’re a three-star, hence Oli’s assignnt to guard you against threats beyond your capacity. He won’t interfere unless it’s necessary, which should be a given."
"Right... That alright with all of you?"
"Yes!" Many of his aforentioned teammates replied in unison, including the mage twins.
"Then that’s that," sighed Jack. "Ti to make the pact."
Oli stepped forward with a big grin, eager to hop into the nexus the mont he’s able. The pact was painless for his tough skin and he was glad to sense the effects of the pact already taking effect.
"If there’s nothing else, then we’ll separate for the night. You’re all welco to join the party in the banquet hall but I’m sure so of you couples have a lot of catching up to do," chuckled Daruun. "Tomorrow, I’ll co back and discuss the places for you all to train and how Jack, Skaryn, and Sterfen will eliminate the remnant branches of Gem Incorporate abandoned by Jewel, just as Halmut was abandoned.
"We’ll be taking those two with us. I’ll begin splicing Halmut’s brain tomorrow and I would hate to waste Tralbok’s rare ti skills, so I’ll attempt making him a construct."
"Wait," Jack spoke up with a raised eyebrow, "if ti is rare, then how co--"
"Ti affinity is considered to be complex but its utility isn’t as wondrous as you’d believe," explained Daruun. "In certain monts or situations, ti energy is the most practical energy without question. However, in most scenarios ti is rely a beneficial energy type and not a dominant energy type.
"If you used ti skills over and over in battle, you can still beco predictable. But if you save a ti skill for the right mont after gaining an understanding of your opponent, then you’ll create a killing opportunity. And sotis ti skills are the greatest healing skills, offering complete recovery of so commonly-irreversible injuries. However, don’t believe that sothing like ti travel exists. Even if it did, it would more than likely create another unexpected scenario."
Daruun gave an example, "If a man lost his wife to a cruel enemy, most would give up anything to reverse such a fate. But if such a man would gain the ability to traverse the tiline to the past or future to save their lost wife, how would he feel upon returning to his own ti? He would gain none of the mories that he and his wife would have created from that previous point onward and be missing any knowledge that would have resulted from such a change. And what if saving his wife eventually led to his son being targeted instead, would that be a suitable and acceptable exchange of fate? Either way, such a scenario would only cause more chaos and suffering if such a skill were even possible."
"Oh... I guess you’re right..." Depressed again, Jack’s head drooped slightly.
"Jack, you’re plenty powerful. Don’t get lost on your path searching for skills that neither exist nor are feasibly possible, let alone how they could negatively impact your life for the worse," ntioned Daruun. "But I’m sure your wives can take you out of your little depression, so enjoy yourselves."
Another dense spatial rift opened up behind the district leaders. Daruun waved his fingers and picked up the two n in the corner with his latent energy, throwing them through the rift.
"I look forward to your ascension!" Silas remarked, waving goodbye as he entered the rift.
"Don’t kill yourself, kid. Daruun would get pissed if he lost you too quickly," joked Gradsdum, laughing as he left.
Dominus smiled, looking to his fellow Spectral Dragons. "Take the night off, enjoy yourselves. Maybe you’ll get lucky and bear a child. The sooner the better!"
Finally, Daruun waved as he and Dominus left along with Dominus’s silent assistant, Eeole.
The mont the rift closed, everyone heard the sound of shattering glass. They noticed Dragas begin to breathe heavily as she stood beside a broken vial. She had grown too excited with Dominus’s ntion of a child along with their final victory over the legendary gods. With her mind overtaken, Dragas grabbed Moranti by the back of his head and kissed him deeply. She m.o.a.ned, "Take ..."
"With pleasure."
Moranti imdiately teleported him and his wife to their bedroom, wasting no ti at all.
"How about we take you to an empty courtyard?" Sterfen smiled at Skaryn and Kylon while he grabbed Lunara’s hand and rubbed his thumb along her palm.
