Chapter 299: More Planning
—–
Nesephise recalled her past, and a time when he ended drifting ashore in this continent after she had gone to fish deep into the swamp ocean, ending up in the middle of a storm that brought her here.
Her theory was that she survived thanks to her frog totem spirit, which wasn’t as strong as it is now, but that was strong enough to at least save her life. As she is an amphibian, she can naturally breath underwater, so the risk of drowning wasn’t there, but she could had still hit herself in the head and die, or have her body crushed through turbulence, or get eaten by a giant fish, amongst many ways to die.
Because of this, it was rather obvious that she could had died if things would had gone awry, thankfully, since she was a child that she had the help of her totem, she was after all someone blessed with such a power, a power that might one day bring a change in the entire planet of Amphibi.
After having survived the storm, she had ended arriving in the shores of this continent, the continent that was overpopulated with space pirates, where the tribes of Saphibians were all enslaved and forced to work in the extraction of soil from underwater and also in the factories that extracted World’s Source Energy from the planet’s core…
She had seen her people suffering and being forced to work, many times she had the urge to fight against her race’s oppressors, to make a difference, to do something.
She had already beaten various small thugs that had tried to take advantage of her while she walked across the streets and alleys of the city of space pirates, but she wasn’t confident into being able to fight the real bigshots, such as those monsters that Nesephise had sensed their presence.
Those monsters whose power transcended mere mortals and were way above the norm, they were so strong that even mortals were like ants before them. These would later become known as “Gods” to her, beings that had achieved an amazing level of power and attained divinity, becoming beings above others, Gods, there was no other way to put it.
And now she recalled that their presences… They were the same as back then. The same as when she felt these beings that could had killed her when she was weaker, and the ones that ended forcing her to escape before she were to cross paths with them.
They had the same presences as these monstrous chimeric beings, and even more, of these three thugs which ended being overwhelmingly strong.
“I remember how it was… Those beings… They were definitely Gods… there were many Pirates at God-Realm!” said Nesephise.
“So many? We are all at that Realm as well, and we can defeat them if we go 1v1 but… Can we truly defeat so man at the same time?” wondered Edward.
“I… It is worth giving it a shot!” said Boxxy.
“Don’t be reckless, idiot! We’ll surely get killed if we are ganged by many gods at the same time. Remember how much we struggled when we fought Demigods? Now imagine Gods… Wait, could there be even more Demigods around too?” wondered Yuki.
“Most likely… But how many could you estimate, Gods, I mean… Nesephise?” asked Abyss.
“I don’t know, but there was a dozen of enormous presences… Ahh… I cannot really give a good answer to this, but maybe over thirty…” sighed Nesephise.
“That many?! I thought space pirates were not that strong! but there are over thirty God-Realm ones…” sighed Erebus.
“These are no mere space pirates that we are dealing with, they might be a whole criminal organization that leads an ancient power within the entire solar system, or perhaps, even the entire galaxy…” said Natalia.
The group continued to talk as they suddenly recalled the three thugs they fought and killed. They were not that strong, although they were all in God-Realm at Rank 1, they were still easily crushed by 1v1 fights.
However, if put into retrospective, it wouldn’t had been the same result if only a single one of them had fought all three of them… such a member might had died.
After all, they had to admit they were not invincible, in this Universe, there is always a bigger fish, or sometimes, just many of the same fishes as you, ready to fight against you so they can get a more sizable meal out of your corpse.
With things considered, they were no way weak either, if they all worked together as a team, they would be able to fight many and defeat them, just as they did against the chimera beasts whose power was rather high.
“Anyways… The city I am talking about must be not that far from here, perhaps a few kilometers to the south… We must find it, probably we can find more clues regarding what had been happening recently.” Said Nesephise.
“We just have to sneak in there and grab some random pirates, interrogate them, and done! Right? It’s nothing too hard.” Said Erebus.
“Yes, and then I can feast on them after we are done, right?” asked Boxxy.
“Come on, cut it out with that.” Sighed Yuki, giving her friend a karate chop in the head.
SMACK!
“Uagh…! Ouch, that actually hurt…” Sighed Boxxy.
“Sorry but you begin talking too much nonsense sometimes, so I have to bring you back to reality, Boxxy…” sighed Yuki.
“Anyways, with that considered, what about the giant frog?” wondered Belphegor.
“We can get more clues about the frog if we interrogate these people, so we might as well get to do that.” Said Natalia.
“Yeah, but let’s take a rest for a bit, all of you seem tired except for a few of us that are Undead… I am sorry for not having been considerate before… Let’s eat, shall we?” asked Abyss.
Everyone nodded and agreed to her words, she had become more considerate than before, and this ended helping her develop some more as a person.
