Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 135

Zell took a deep breath of the fresh smog-less air and admired his handy work. The metallic dome that contained the city now stuck out in the beautiful landscape as an eye sore. Zell flew to the city gates.

A stunned guard just kept staring at the lush fields that popped up out of nowhere. He did not even notice Zell standing next to him.

“Excuse me.” Zell said to the stunned guard. “Where might I find whoever is in charge of the science stuff?”

“Science stuff?” The guard just repeated slowly. “You see this right? Real plants and clear skies, you see them, right? This isn’t some dream, is it? I hope it is not. It is more beautiful than the history books made it out to be.”

“No, it is no dream.” Zell said. “All of that life you see was my doing. So, if you don’t mind, could you point me in the direction of the science stuff?”

“Right.” The guard nodded. “Wait what?! You did all this?! How?! That’s not possible! Our brightest minds have tried for a century to repair the planet. Alien races have come from all over the galaxy, and none have been successful. You did it?! What planet are you from?! There is an outstanding reward for this action.”

“I hope it is with the science stuff.” Zell said, still trying to just get directions.

“Let me make a phone call.” The guard walked away and left Zell by himself. He returned a few minutes later with another man following behind him. “Sorry for the wait. This is my supervisor; he requires proof that it was you before we can vouch for you. Is there any way you can prove you were the one who did all this?”

Zell sighed. “Fine.” He said. He noticed a half dead plant in a pot on a desk in the guard station behind them. “Bring me that plant.” He said pointing to it.

The guard did so and handed it over to Zell. Zell touched the plant with one finger and poured a tiny bit of his power into it. The plant immediately started to spring to life and grow. Within two seconds it had grown larger than the confines of the pot and it shattered the pot.

The two men just looked on in amazement. “How did you do that? What kind of device are you using?

The supervisor asked. “Is it in your gauntlet? Or is it a subdermal microchip?”

“It is the power of life itself.” Zell said. “I am a god, bestowed with the power of life.”

“A g-god?!” the guard yelled. “Wait, I recognize you! You’re the guy from the camera that mysteriously knocked out an immigration worker. No wonder!”

“Oh, right that guy.” Zell said. “I was just asking him where to find someone and he passed out.”

“When he was interviewed, he said it felt like the world was pushing on him from all sides and he couldn’t even take a breath, so he lost consciousness.” The supervisor said, “Are you saying that had nothing to do with you?”

“Well, I won’t say that there isn’t a chance.” Zell smiled. “I was in a rather foul mood the last time I was here, and it is possible that some of my power may have slipped out, making it more difficult to be around me.”

“A man that fits your description was also reported to have saved a missing patrol.” The supervisor said, “Their story was discounted, since it was so outrageous, but now meeting you and knowing that you claim yourself to be of a divine nature, their story seems more credible.”

“Oh, those men I dezombified?” Zell asked. “I actually forgot about those guys. I am glad they found their way back home. But now that all that is sorted, and you know who I am and what I am about, how about you tell me where I can find the science stuff?”

“If by science stuff you mean the department of research and development, then that is the place I must take you anyway.” The supervisor said, “God or not, you have done something that we have placed a reward for. It is my duty and obligation to ensure that you are rightfully rewarded for your noble and miraculous deed. Your name will be known throughout the galaxy as the savior of our planet.”

“I really just need to talk to them about a scanner.” Zell said. “I don’t have any need or desire for this world’s money or fame.”

“Maybe not.” The supervisor said, “But if it is a scanner you desire, then money will most certainly help you procure one, unless you were just planning on stealing one.”

“No, I guess?” Zell said. “Fine, it seems like the place I need to go regardless. So please take me there.”

“Very well, follow me.” The supervisor said as he led Zell away.

The guard that was left alone could no longer contain his excitement over the lush fields right in front of him. He ran as fast as he could out into them and then laid down on his back. He rolled around in the plants like a child or a dog who has just seen plants for the first time.

The supervisor took Zell to his car. He then looked at his car and at Zell. He kept looking back and forth as he noticed a problem. The massive Zell would not fit in his small compact car. “So, I am going to find a bigger ride.” The supervisor said as he looked around at available cars.

“Don’t worry I will just fly.” Zell said as he started to float in the air. The planet had a major deficiency of magic, but it was not completely barren of it. With Zell’s power and abilities, he could tap into it just fine, especially since he himself was now a source of magic.

“I see.” The supervisor said as he got in his car without saying another word. This day was going to break him mentally if it did not stop spiraling. First the planet was cured of its ailments, then he met a god, and then he learned that gods can just defy all logic and physics and fly. He drove to the department of research and development and Zell followed closely behind, flying near the ground.

The people in the city all stopped and stared as they had never seen a large flying man in plate armor before. Or any flying men for that matter, at least not without the aid of rocket boots or jet packs.

The supervisor pulled into the parking lot and parked his car. As he got out Zell landed near him. “Follow me inside.” He said as he walked to the entrance. The doors were made of a fine crystal and locked with a keycard mechanism. The supervisor pulled out his keycard from his wallet and swiped it to open the door.

As the door opened the AC of the building created a cool breeze that blasted the two men in the face, as the people who worked inside the building liked a cooled working environment. That was mainly because many of their workers came from planets with a considerably colder climate. The supervisor walked over to the front desk and Zell followed him.

The desk clerk just stared at Zell’s massive body and shiny white silver plate armor.

“I would like to make a report to the chief please.” The supervisor said to the desk clerk. The desk clerk ignored him; he was too amazed at the massive man standing so close. The supervisor waved his hand in front of the clerk’s face to snap him out of it. “Hello, we need to see chief Dex please.”

“Right, sorry sir.” The clerk said as he started to type furiously on his keyboard. After a moment of typing a machine on his desk printed out a security card. The clerk grabbed the card from the machine and handed it to the guard supervisor. “This will get you to the chief’s floor. Please leave all weapons with me. We are a weapon free facility.”

“Right, I know that.” The supervisor said as he removed his laser gun from his hip and placed it on the clerk’s desk. “If you lose this, I will arrest you.”

“Understood sir.” The clerk said. “And does your friend have any weapons to declare? Maybe a great sword or ax?”

“No, I have no need for any such item.” Zell said. “I assure you I am weapon free.”

“Yes, this gentleman here just cured the entirety of the planet.” The supervisor said. “It looks amazing outside of the dome now. Like a whole new world. A man like that does not need a weapon. Why would you ask. On top of that, why would you ask about such medieval and barbaric weapons such as those?”

“I am sorry!” The clerk said. “It was just well; he is wearing a full set of plate armor! What was I supposed to think?!”

“It’s fine.” Zell said. “Can we go now?”

“Yes, sorry to keep you waiting sir..” The supervisor said as he led Zell to the elevator.
