Oh, so they weren't just getting limited by that enemy as I thought, but they were also following some set of rules.

"Fine! Then change the rules of the entire quest…" I paused before seriously adding, "in exchange for working together, you'll record everyone's accomplishments and make an updated ranking system of the entire twenty ones taking part in this quest."

[But…]

I didn't wait for him to continue his words as I hurriedly added:

"Like this, the winner will be the one who gets on top of everyone. It's up to you as to how you shall distribute the rewards among us."

[We have only rewards for one winner!]

"Come on! Don't take me for a fool or something. How old do you think I am? The reward is the race we are going to rescue. And as we are going to save everyone, then there are enough rewards for everyone."

[There are only twenty races for one hundred people. Even if you lost half of your number, and that's totally expected, the number of races won't suffice!]

"There is enough for everyone," I evilly grinned, "you can either promise entire races for the first five ranks, and the rest can share the remaining races in between themselves. Or you can decide a certain percentage for the top five, with the first one getting half of all races rescued from this quest."

[Aren't you acting too greedy?]

"I'm the one daring enough to take such a step, so indeed I deserve much better than everyone else, right?"

Did he think I'd feel shy or ashamed if he said such words? He was underestimating the level of my shamelessness!

[Hmm… Let me think about it and consult others]

"I have to say," I knew what he was going to do, "if the reward wasn't that enticing, then forget about me taking such a risk."

I wouldn't risk my life like this for a mediocre reward. If he wanted my full support in this, he had to show sincerity.

I needed their help, but they also needed mine. It was a mutual situation where we all would get benefits out of it together.

If they tried to act smart, cut down the rewards of the first place as I expected, then they'd end up quite disappointed.

I volunteered to take such a risk, and I worked up my mind to pull such a grand plan. If my efforts weren't going to be properly rewarded, then I'd just aim for one world.

[Don't worry, we aren't that stingy!]

Of course you were! I didn't forget the pain of collecting one hundred million souls for the help from them back then.

I learnt my lesson from dealing with that dude from before. And I didn't plan to risk my life for nothing worthy.

As that dude left, I had nothing else to do but to think about my next step.

I learnt from him that the first move would be to be part of that world. If I guessed it right, then that part would be allocated by whatever rules governing these worlds.

If so, then I'd not expect to arrive at a totally barren place.

"If I read through the lines right, then after gaining access to these places, we'll have a buffer time of peace before an all out war would start…"

I kept thinking deeply about this. If they were going to give us these pieces of land, then that meant a big war would erupt afterwards.

That offer wasn't just out of generosity. They wanted us to be more prepared for the upcoming challenges.

I read through the information provided in that list again. For a reason, there was no mention of what kind of disaster happening in all the worlds except for the last one; the angelic world.

That world had the clear phrase of an all out brutal war going on from the start. As for others, they just said there was some sort of a disaster going to happen there without delving into any information regarding what type of disaster it was.

Was it natural or man made? Of course they were made by that enemy!

If a disaster befell over such worlds with mighty and formidable races, then that meant the disaster was unstoppable.

"I have to expect the worst then…" I was lost in thought. From my encounters with the Hescos, I learnt how deadly a strong race could be.

Reading the word disaster would make anyone jump into the natural ones. However what was going to happen out there wasn't natural ones, but a disaster in the form of unstoppable armies.

So I'd better expect a situation where killing tons wouldn't make a difference, and having tons on my side wouldn't make any difference as well.

"That's why they targeted me from the start… I now get it!" I was thinking all this time that the reason those enemies targeted me was because of my time ability.

But it seemed this wasn't the sole reason behind such a decision to hunt me down. I had my techniques, and in such situations, I was the one who was going to be unstoppable!

I had nothing much to think about during that day period. So I started to examine a few important things regarding different elements of my strength.

First and foremost important was the warrior tokens.

I left behind tons of people and forces to enter the den of warriors and turn into my tokens.

To detect that was simply hard. My inventory was full of tons of warriors and tokens.

If I wanted to quickly test the effectiveness of this connection then I had to select a warrior token that I had little of or didn't have any at all.

And luckily there were such kinds of tokens that I could track the zombies!

Loran's people just joined this move late. And I never had zombie tokens before. So the number of tokens of that race were already too low, enabling me to easily observe them.
