Ascension Of The Lightning God - Chapter 76
“While we were in the other world, we were able to make a deal with the people, and what you saw was the strongest weapon that they gave to our disposal. There are more energy-based canons, with smaller destruction renege but the ammunition isn’t as restricted.” Mei started.
They were now in a small room, deep in the army camp. After showing their power, all the leaders became more cooperative. They knew that since they can destroy the enemy army, there is only the fact of being one of them, humans, stopping them from destroying this place.
“Who are they? And how are their weapons so powerful?” asked Wong Bao, he was the most shaken from them all. He was shouting at the two, if he would go too far, they could be dead like that army by now.
“I won’t go into specific workings of the weapons, but their might is certainly incredible. They can be operated by almost anyone, and because of the firing distance, in this world, there is nothing that can counter attack it.”
“What about cultivators? How many and how strong are they in their world?” asked Chu Ai
Looking at Marcus, she saw him nod, and this was a confirmation for her. “There are none. In their world, there is no Qi in the air, so there are no cultivators. And before you ask, there are no other kinds of energy in the air; it’s completely empty in that aspect.”
The news was shocking. They never imagined a world where there is no Qi or cultivation couldn’t exist. And they still have such powerful weapons.
“Does it matter? For now, the Demon King is still around, and we need to deal with the invasion. We destroyed one army, but there will be more. They came too far to turn back now.” Marcus added. And this woke everyone up.
“You are right; we should talk about the colony that you mentioned, how is it suppose to work? Are we going to be their servants from now on? Let them control our world that we are spilling our blood for?” Loki tried to be calm, but his anger was too deep to hold. But his was an expert, and his calm and rationality won over the anger. ” We need more details.”
“The colony will be more like an embassy. We will give them some territory, and from there they will expand on their own. Right now there is lots of space available so that won’t be a problem. We will also establish a peace treaty, in short allowing trade and cooperation between us.”
“Xiao Mei, tell me since you came from another world, there must be something like a gate or a portal. Is that right?” Chu Ai inquired suddenly, and from the looks of it, she figured something out.
“Yes, there is a gate but not on this side. Currently, there is no connection to the other world. But if we build a gate of our own, it will be possible to establish a stable and constant connection.” Marcus said. He knew more than anyone about gates after four years of studying them
“So they can make a connection to our world anytime they want?”
“No. They can open it every ten months.”
“And if we establish a constant connection, and then destroy the gate on our side? What will happen?”
“Hmm the connection would cease, and both gates would explode. A space vortex would form and suck everything in, based on the size of the gate in around 200m radius.”
“Then how is this we will help build a gate, and establish a colony. But we will have the control over our side of the gate. We will have joint control over weapons that can destroy us so easily, like the one we were shown earlier. Anything that has the strength to destroy a city will fall under this rule. Lastly, an exchange of hostages.”
Hostages? That didn’t sound good, but the colony can act as a hostage. As for them, they can send someone from their family, one each.
As for joint control over the weapons, that won’t be hard to organize. To be honest, Ares will be the only warship with this kind of firepower in this dimension unless they decide to invade this world.
As for the control over our side of the gate, that was a must from the beginning. Unless they were stupid would they let take full control of the gate to the other side.
“That’s possible to arrange. I must admit, I’m pleasantly surprised, I was expecting for you to make more, unreasonable demands.” Mei said after the short consideration. There are still some details that they need to prepare, but the main frame is almost finished. Now, will the rest of the leaders also agree to it?
“I agree with that deal, but don’t think it’s because the deal is good. You put a knife to our throats and threatened for permission to help us.” Wong Bao added. And with this, the negotiations were temporarily suspended.
Mei went with her father; they wanted to talk, just the two of them. So, Marcus started walking, he then entered the forest, and found a small lake with a rock in the middle of it. With no effort, he jumped up and landed softly on the rock. And looking at the rising form of this place, was truly beautiful. He will have to show it to Mei later.
Above the horizon, Marcus saw a point suddenly appear, and as it got closer, he recognized that it was a demon. Moving towards the capital city. Now the beautiful moment was gone. Standing up, he looked at the moving demon.
Sigh
Going into a four-point start, Marcus used his energy to create electromagnetic fields around his body, and in the surrounding. What he created is his own version of a rail gun that will launch him. Pushing as hard as he could, he gained initial momentum, and then the railgun electromagnetic fields accelerated him further.
BOOM!!!
