Celestial Star Sect On Earth - Chapter 6 The Forest 2

Day 07 June 2043. (The day after the Operation Enigma)

Inside a huge hall, hundreds of people were in a meeting. They were not normal people though. Although it may sound redundant, they were the richest and most powerful people in the world. Anyone present here was a big figure of any kind.

Flags from all over the world could be seen and hundreds of languages could be heard. But with the Instant translator also called IT, they could understand each other easily. The device was produced by Robotics Alliance years ago when they were just a newly born company. And then, the company became multimillionaire within a week.

To prevent misunderstandings, the meeting was held in Europe and not Africa where the armies were camped.

There weren’t many things that could possibly put so many higher-ups together. However, the fate of Earth and humans was one of these!

Among them, a 3D hologram was currently playing. It represented the exact recording from inside the forest. The hologram could extract the colors, sounds or the lack of them. The tense atmosphere was also present, spreading itself to the whole hall.

Without noticing, the big figures were holding their breaths. A woman couldn’t help but scream when the black shadow fell on the soldier, killing it. The hologram captured the redness of blood as well as real life.

What they saw when the blurred shadow cleared left them with their mouths agape.

An eight-legged black panther, with whips in its backs and golden eyes!

“Wha…What the hell is that thing!?” one man exclaimed.

“What a savage Beast!” another complemented.

Some people were almost throwing up just looking at the massacre. When they thought the squad would all die, a huge boom sounded. The beast was thrown in the nearest tree.

That was the second shock they get. And they couldn’t help but to cheers when the beast ran away!

“Who is that man? The one who hit the beast?”

“Damn, was that the power of the armor?” one woman asked.

“I don’t think so it has been broken in the impact.” another asked as politely as possible.

“His name is Zander, and we are deciding which promotion he’ll get. But that is not the main problem right now.”

The one who answered was a white-haired man. He was using an army uniform and his upright composure identified him as a general. He was the same general that got the Project Alfa armor suit from Robotics Alliance.

“Is there a problem bigger than that?”

As if waiting for someone to ask, he answered.

“Of course. The armor had its share from the successful attack, but the main protagonist was Zander himself.”

He waited a bit looking in the eyes of everyone present. He was among a group of experienced snakes. He really hated politics

“He was practicing the martial arts he got from an old book. Some of you may know more than I do, but these books appeared around the globe at the same time day as the forest. And they clearly have some connections. I won’t say that you should stop your plans with it, as I’m sure you have them. I’m just stating that we need men and women that could enter this forest.”

“So, are you saying that we should act together maybe build an organization to deal with that? Can’t we use the tanks to deal with it? Maybe cut down the trees?”

“The tanks aren’t easy to maneuver in the forest. Moreover, they are not fast enough to shoot this beast. It will play with the tank easily. Oh, I forgot to tell you we couldn’t cut the trees. You may not have noticed, but the shots from earlier didn’t leave any mark in the trees.”

“Couldn’t we just explode everything?” one man asked.

A lot of people nodded

[That’s why I hate politicians. They are pretty stupid somethimes]. Thought the general.

“Too risky, what if the forest is not destroyed and the beasts went outside? I don’t like to think of it but, what if there are stronger beasts inside? See too many possibilities and neither of them are good.”

The hall got quiet for a while. When one Europian man asked.

“If that’s what we got, I suggest that everyone puts some effort to investigate the forest. Get some samples from it. Guess we should build an organization and maybe send more people outside.”

“I agree and propose that each country donates at least two of these ancient books to the organization.”

The discussion went on and on. Politics was never an easy feat. But they reached an agreement some hours later. The headquarters of the organization would be built 5 kilometers away from the forest. Also, the governments would donate two books, a million credits, and some personnel to form a company. Which would be led by Zander, the newly promoted captain.

There was only one issue left: How should the organization be called?

**************************************

Right in the middle of the forest. Where humans had never set a foot on, a stronghold had been built. Walls of ten meters tall covered the area about four football fields, it’s bright rock reflected the sunlight. Inside the walls newly constructed could be seen. The streets were paved and the houses were not habituated yet.

Thousands of different animals were walking side by side in the busy streets. Huge frogs with weird colors were jumping around. Giant ants could also be seen with their mates. Evey kind of predator and prey were walking peacefully in the streets as if something prohibited them from making problems.

In the foremost east, a castle stood strong. Built with a mixture of rocks and woods. In front of it, a huge garden adorned the castle with bright and vivid plants.

Inside the castle, a gorgeous hall could be seen. Red carpets and purple curtains decorated it. In the middle a beautiful armchair with golden ornaments.

A man was seated in the armchair, his hair was as red as the carpets in the ground and the lion’s mane besides him.

[This human’s armchair is really comfortable. Stupid were the kings in my world. They thought they had the best living. How mad would them be here, even a poor human lives better than a king.]

Smiled Yi Seoung thinking how cozy his butt felt.

[Oh right, I just forgot to listen to the report]

He looked to the kowtowed beast in front of him. It was a black panther with eight legs and 2 whips limp in its back. Although the panther looked ferocious, there was a line of blood flowing on its head.

“Could you please re-tell me what happened?”

“Graw.. graaaw, graww, graw” the animal growled.

He nodded and resumed what was said.

“So one human was able to cultivate and hit you with his Qi? I know you could have killed them all, don’t feel sad about it. You did well. To reward your bravery you can eat that fruit now.”

“Graaaw!” the beast became instantly cheerful.

“Yes yes You don’t need to guard that place anymore. Dismissed.”

The black panther ran as a blurred shadow.

Yi Seoung looked to the lion beside him who had a silly smile on its face. Or at least something that looked like a smile.

“What are laughing at? From now one you are prohibited to play with the humans too. They will evolve quickly, it’s better you train hard otherwise you’ll die.”

The lion did a complaining sound and went to the training grounds behind the castle.

[Stupid beast. He has become spoiled of being my only disciple.]

Shaking his head Yi Seoung started to think about the next steps of his plans.

[ Well, while master is still recovering I’m the one I charge here. I can feel he has great plans for this world, he wants to see how much potential theses humans have. And to do so, they need to develop as martial artists and that’s why I am here to help them.]

Scratching his head in thought.

[Thats it! I’ll spread more books and other little things in the forest and let them find it. Moreover, it will also serve as training to the beasts!]

He got up from his “throne” and smiled. It was time to make an announcement.

“Hear me out, my servants!”

His word echoed miles away, covering each part of the forest. Going even further away. Every animal in the world could hear him.

“I’ve scattered treasures through our forest. I won’t settle any rules for you. In the jungle the strong rules! Now, all of you should exit the castle and only return when you’re able to speak human language. Go, now!”

Growls, roars, snarls, howls, and tweaks could be heard all over the stronghold. The beasts trampled at each other to exit the castle as fast as possible. They were eager to get a treasure.

“But be aware, humans won’t take long to enter the forest in masses and compete for the treasures as well”

He advised as they went out. Suddenly he felt something.

[Oh. how haven’t I noticed this seedling before!?]

Yi Seoung disappeared as smoke from the throne room.

**************************************

Cold.

The snow was falling slowly. The ground was covered by it but, instead of the gorgeous white, it was red.

Big puddles of brazen blood turned the snow red.

A battle was occurring right now and only the mountains were present to witness. No gun was shot, no knife was drawn. Instead, the battle was fought with claws and teeth.

Two packs of wolfs were engaged in a selvage fight. A young wolf with shiny silver pelt was in the middle of one pack. He struggled to keep his life from the attacks of an older wolf.

One party didn’t agree with his dominance over the region, and then they prepared an ambush to kill this young one.

Splash.

Blood stained the snow again.

The young one suffered a blow in his side and the enemy pack howled in cheers.

Suddenly an enormous and ferocious pressure fell on the animals!

All of them kowtowed instantly.

“Damn! Almost got here late!” Yi Seoung angrily said.

He walked to the silver wolf who wasn’t showing fears in its eyes. Putting his hand on it’s wound he transferred a bit of his energy. Instantly the wound started to heal in the naked eyes.

“Well at least it wasn’t that bad. You are a strong fella. Would you like to be my apprentice?”

Without waiting for his answer, Seoung got the animals in its arms.

“Of course you would like, why sould I ask? Let’s go.”

He similed and disappeared once again.
