My Second Life in Another World - Chapter 432: For The Plan...
***
Since the Scenarios started, the world has been in an upheaval. No place was left unchecked by the mass panic that was brewing among the public.
Because even if the Scenarios were started in the major cities across the globe, the people outside were more terrified as they had no idea about what was happening, and the images that have surfaced were far from nice.
It was so bad that people thought of it as fake, and tried to ignore it.
It was just that these discussions were only rampant online, most of the population had no idea of the horrors that were happening within those domes, but they could only pray that it didn’t reach them.
And then there were beings, who enjoyed this mass hysteria that was happening, both on the inside and outside of the planet.
Many of these beings lived far away from the planet, but a lot of them had a deep connection with this world.
And in a very faraway place, on an unassuming mass of land that was just floating in space.
There was a wooden house standing tall on it, and inside that house were two beings.
“Isn’t it a good chance to kill that hateful bastard?” A voluptuous woman with long blonde hair said, she looked like a human, but her sclera was black with golden pupils, along with two insect-like antennas on her forehead.
“He has already been taken out of the scenario, so it should be easy to end him without any major problems right?” She sounded so happy, just with the thought of her enemy dying but…
“Well, it is as you said Antinus,” The second being who was sitting on the sofa spoke calmly, “But don’t you think that it is too boring?” before he spoke what was really on his mind.
“Hmm, what do you mean?” Antinus didn’t understand it until he pointed at the blue panel flying in front of them.
It was Bi-hyung’s channel, showing a Black-haired woman leading a group with a cold expression.
“You mean to?” Antinus understood it immediately, and she didn’t look against it, because that woman was her enemy as well.
“Yes,” He nodded making his red bangs flutter slightly.
“Well…” Antinus was now deep in thought, she didn’t care for such things, and just wanted to see the guy who got in her way die.
“Antinus have you ever made tried baking?” His question confused her even more, because she had never heard of that.
“Well, when you are baking you need to use precise measurements, and need to know the precise timing to get the best result,” He explained slowly to make sure she understood, “because if you don’t, what you are trying to make, wouldn’t be as delicious as it should be.”
“So, you mean to…?” Antinus seemed to have understood what he was saying.
“It isn’t time to take him out of the oven just yet,” He smiled slightly looking at the screen, “If anything we need to raise the heat a little more.” But the malice in his red eyes could not be hidden even with that charming smile.
“A-Ah, yes, as you say,” Antinus said quickly while looking away.
‘He has indeed helped me a lot,’ She said in her mind, he had saved her when she was about to die, and even helped her evolve to the next level.
That is how she got her current human-like appearance, the moment she saw him, Antinus knew that he was the one who could help her with what she wanted.
The first time she met him was, when she was suddenly pulled from Earth, it was his doing.
It was just a few days ago…
‘My My, look at what they did to you,’ He spoke caringly to her, ‘they must be real brutes to do this to such a beautiful specimen.’
‘W-What?’ She was more flustered at the time, and even more confused about what was happening but…
‘To be treated this badly, having your home world destroyed, and forced to work like this just for entertainment….’ At that time he smiled and that was it for her, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you from now on.’
‘I’ll make sure you get what you want and more…’ Those words still rang in her ears.
‘That was a shameful time,’ Antinus remembered that she cried at the time, because when he spoke too kindly to her. She couldn’t hold back because of the things she had been through, ‘but I’ll make sure that my plan is realized.’
“…ti… …tinus, An~ti~nus~,”
“A-Ah! Yes!” Antinus jumped when she heard his voice from so close.
“Did I scare you? Sorry,” He asked with the same smile, since he pretty much scared her out of her thoughts.
“N-No, I was just surprised,” Antinus tried to diffuse the situation caused by her overreaction, but there didn’t seem like any reason to do that.
“I see, but I’ll be more careful from next time, it would be bad if you are scared away,” He spoke in a worried tone, and it nearly melted Antinus.
But this was nothing yet, because the next topic would do something worse to her……
“So, you said your reason for making the contract with the Star Stream, was so that you can get your revenge on the earthlings right?” Antinus nodded at that, since that is indeed how it was.
And she still wanted to do that
“Yeah, one of them destroyed by home…. No, he trampled all over it.” Antinus’s body shook in anger, it was still unbearable for her since she wouldn’t be able to find peace till she got her revenge.
“I see, but don’t you have another wish?” He asked and Antinus looked up in shock, “Like rebuilding your home?”
“How… do you…” She couldn’t believe that he found out about it, because she never talked about it.
“I can tell from the look of reminiscence that you often have on your face,” He laughed since it looked like, even she wasn’t aware of making such an expression.
‘But he knew about it….’ Antinus was at a loss for words, she didn’t think that he would look at her this closely, her gaze just lowered in shame, but there was more to come.
“Say Antinus, we have quite sometime before earth’s demise,” He smiled lifting her face with his fingers, “How about we work on the second wish in the meantime?” and spoke his mind while looking into her eyes.
“W-wha…” Antinus’s pupils trembled, what was he talking about?
‘Is he… saying we do ‘that’?’ The question that popped up in her head…
“It is as you think,” Was answered by him, “Of course, you don’t have to d-”
“N-No, Please…” Antinus was so out of her mind that she cut him off in a hurry, this was a rare chance, “Please help me in rebuilding my race.” Her face was flushed but she still chose to say it.
“I’ll be glad,” He smiled sweetly and Antinus’s heart started to pound at an unnatural speed.
“Ah!” Antinus squealed as she was taken off her feet by him.
“Let’s make use of the remaining time adequately.” She was too flustered to even hear him.
‘How do humans do it?’ Antinus really had no idea about what was going to happen to her but, ‘for my plan…. Yes for that….’
But it was already too late for her, and there was someone else who shared her fate.
“What are you guys doing here?” Jung-hyuk asked looking at the group of people in front of him.
They had just rushed to this place the moment they saw what he was doing.
“That should be my question,” Queresha asked in a flat voice, but the slight frown on her forehead showed that she was pissed.
“Hmmm?” Of course, Jung-hyuk wasn’t able to catch it, more like he did not attempt to do that, “If you are worrying about the Disaster, then don’t…”
‘At least he knows what he is doing,’ Hee-won still sighed, because this guy was still acting like it was no big deal.
“What do you mean not to worry about it?” Kanae didn’t seem to like this either, “You know what effects this could have, right?”
Because of Jung-hyuk trying to hatch it prematurely, they did not have enough time to prepare the countermeasures and were now behind schedule, the teams were already determined, but they were still in the middle of deployment and with Haru missing.
Things slowed down a little, but the main problem was…
“Who was guarding this place anyway?”
