Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 125

Zell crumbled the note in his hand and set it ablaze. The paper turned to ash before it hit the ground. Zell roared with a visceral anger that shook the very foundation of the planet. “Rose!” He yelled out. He knew the spell and the location of the universe Rose was hiding, but he did not want to steal the power of the souls around him. So, he used his power to force the highway of souls open and formed a portal out of his sheer power.

He saw tall buildings in the distance and flying cars in the sky. He walked into the portal, and it closed behind him. The world was much different than the other worlds he had been to. It was a universe of high technology, far more advanced than Earth. He used his senses and detected a lack of magic on the planet. It seemed that the gods did not create this universe with magic in mind.

Other than that the sky was an odd yellowish color, and the ground was mostly dirt with few bits of vegetation anywhere. The air itself had a foul odor of methane and other gasses. The air was also filled with a thick smog.

“What a complete dump.” Zell said as he looked around at the wasteland around him. Aside from a few plants the entire area was void of any signs of life with garbage in piles scattered across the landscape. Zell figured that Rose would not be in this area, so he started walking towards the city in the distance.

As he approached, he saw multiple roads heading into the city. Massive twenty lane highways filled with cars hovering slightly above it. At the very entrance of the city was a checkpoint that slowed traffic a bit as they entered and exited but seemed to operate efficiently.

Not wanting to go through this checkpoint Zell opted to walk into the city from the wastelands. As he approached, he noticed a shimmer as he got closer. Finally, he was close enough to touch a dome that had been placed over the city. The only entrance was that check point, as the dome seemed to fully encompass the city. Not wanting to raise alarms, fearing for his family’s lives, he decided to not just burst his way into the dome and decided to try the checkpoint.

He hoped an advanced civilization would be logical and went to make contact. As he entered the checkpoint, he noticed that it was almost entirely fully automated. Looking around he found a human messing with a glass tablet that seemed to work similar to a tablet from earth. “Excuse me.” Zell called out to the man.

He was an odd-looking man with a half shaven head and a pink afro on the unshaven side. One of his eyes had been replaced with cybernetics and part of his jaw as well. He was wearing an official looking yellow suit with a name tag predominantly displayed. He looked up at Zell when he called out over to him.

Zell’s large frame and white silver armor shining like a beacon stood out against the grainy yellow hues the worker was used to looking at. At first glance he was curious and then as he continued to stare, he became nervous as all of the hairs on his body began to stand on end. Even without magic in the world Zell’s enormous power created a presence around him, an intense pressure that other life forms could feel.

Zell walked all the way over to the man and stood directly in front of him. The pressure exuding from him was causing the worker to become short of breath. “I was hoping you could help me.” Zell said in his nicest voice. He was doing everything in his power to hold back the torrent of rage he was experiencing from Rose’s actions. “I am looking for someone, a person that doesn’t belong in this world. Have you seen her?”

The worker took a deep breath, he feared whoever this man was in front of him, more than he had feared anything in his life. “I am sorry. I don’t know anyone that fits that description.” He said in a sheepish tone.

“Then do you mind if I enter the city and look for her?” Zell said.

The worker just passed out from the pressure around him and did not have a chance to respond.

“I will take that as a yes.” Zell said as he started to walk inside the city. The visuals changed drastically as he entered the dome. The sky looked blue and clear as if it were a beautiful summer day. The air was crisp and clean without a single odor or smog. The ground was covered in lush greenery and clean and neat people and robots filled the streets. “That’s different,” Zell said as he took it all in.

Inside his armor shined even brighter due to the artificial sunlight. He walked to the busy streets and the pedestrians scattered, fearing this new stranger in their city. Zell looked up as the buildings towered over him. He had never seen structures as tall as these in either of his lives. It was an impressive sight.

After wondering and looking for a few minutes he was surrounded by vehicles with flashing lights. People opened their doors and got behind them as a single man walked into the encirclement of cars to talk to the stranger.

“You there!” The man said as he approached. “What planet are you from? Do you have your diplomatic and health paperwork?”

“My what?” Zell questioned in a deep commanding voice.

“Look I don’t mean any disrespect; you are obviously a strong alien of some sort.” The officer said. “I think half my men are about to shit themselves just looking at you. We have just ways of doing things here in Caltopia.. You need to follow our immigration procedures to ensure the safety of you and our citizens. You understand, don’t you?”
