Chapter 909: Trouble With The Gladiators
Lenny Looked at the materials on the list again.
He did not know what most of these materials were. After all, with the presence of sub planes in the world, the periodic table that he was used too was now useless.
According to Clawed, human beings were not even complete with the elements on the planets. Talking about the elements in the universe was an entirely different matter.
At the same time, lenny was still the master of the Satan System, and he knew how the exchanges occurred. if he gave something of significant value. For example: A demon corpse, he could exchange it for a lot of materials.
Unfortunately, he had not thought this far when he had drove them all out of the earth. He really felt it was a waste to let all those useful slabs of meat go. But at the time, that was the most necessary thing to do.
Lenny sighed at this. He turned to Clawed, "So how long is this going to take?"
"At the speed we are moving, Your Grace. I estimate another six months."
"What!? Six months? That’s too far? Do you think those losers will wait six months before they come back?" Lenny pointed to the sky.
Clawed understood what Lenny was talking about. He was referring to the gods that had left, and also the other beings that were interested in the earth. Even now, they had already had six more visitors.
One was still a god, and the others were either monsters or Demons.
For this, Crusher and Victor were assigned to ’welcoming’ the guests.
Of course, they have also been higher ranked guests. But once the guest was above the Great Demon rank, no one would appear to battle them.
This was Lenny’s idea. This way, those in space understood that they had a chance to battle for the earth. but that was only if they were not of the Greater Demon rank.
It was a subconscious message. One that those demons instantly understood.
This was Lenny’s idea of buying time. After all, pride existed in all sentinel beings. It was even more so for Royalty.
This way, the royal demons, proud of their capabilities would continue to send over their younglings into battle to claim the Eighth earth.
"Well, I can bring it up to two months, but that would mean that we get more man power. The citizens of the Witch’s territory are not just enough." Clawed spoke up.
"Do what you have to. Use all the humans on earth if it comes to it. This is the most important project." Lenny instructed as he floated down.
"There is still another matter that needs your attention." Clawed spoke up. "It involves the Half borns that had been subjugate dby Demons. After you sent Demons and Devils away, they is now no one to lead them.
Most Gladiator pits have been taken over by their Magistri. We got in contact with most of them early enough because of Lady Insect-b’s chimera ants. And at first they did comply.
But something has not been right for the last couple of days. If I were to say, then it would be that they have become a little too disobedient. It is actually very alarming."
"And why do you think so?"
"Well, these humans were breed for obedience. Even without the demons, they should fear those with the power to chase their demon masters. But it is not so."
"Are they rebelling? maybe we should have Crusher visit them too?" lenny spoke sarcastically.
"Exactly! that is the problem..." Clawed flipped pages from his note book, "according to the report, a lot of them are...Depressed, Some even have panic attacks. And A few have even committed suicide out of despair."
Lenny paused and turned about. Those were indeed strange signs for Gladiators to have. It almost sounded like he was listening to a news report about teenagers in his previous life.
"What is the Regent doing?" Lenny asked about Father Black.
"He is looking actively into the situation. But as it is, many other matters needs his attention. We are really stretched thin on work force."
"Hmmm! have insect-B create special units specially for dousing them with antidepressants until you can find the cause. And load them all into work. A man thinking about his daily bread will not have the time to be depressed."
Clawed nodded as he jotted down the instructions.
Nikky was supervising the movement of some materials when she saw him.
Her eyes brightened up, "Lenny!" she rushed over and jumped into an embrace.
Clawed gave her a look that stated his dissatisfaction. However, he did not say a word about it. There were only a few people that had the guts to do what she just did.
After all, Lenny was king of the entire earth. But someone like Nikky, had always had a wild spirit. Not even her father, Scarface, had been able to tame her.
Even with his status, he had not changed in her eyes one bit. From her point of view, Lenny was her prince charming.
This was also one of the reasons no one wanted to get on Nikky’s bad side. As far as they were concerned, she had Lenny’s heart.
Unknown to them all, Lenny actually did not care. In fact, he did not even care about being King of the Eighth earth. It was all to push his agenda of becoming strong enough to have revenge on those that had hurt his master.
While most people only saw what was before their eyes and the fact that Lenny was a strong Great Demon rank existence, Lenny himself did not think so highly of his capabilities.
After all, he had fought Uriel and knew that he was nothing compared to even the lowest Angel.
Also, in his eyes, Nikky was kind of a pet that he did not mind having around. Coupled with her expertise in science, she was more of a useful pet.
After embracing him, she suddenly remembered something and pouted as she turned her back at him in obvious dissatisfaction.
Lenny was taking back by this. He patted her head a little, "Is there something you will like to tell me, Nikky?"
"No!" she looked away from him, acting like a spoilt brat. "Nikky!" Lenny waved his hand and an invincible force turned her face to his. However, she looked away again.
Lenny turned to Clawed with a raised brow. "Clawed, do you know what is happening?" Lenny asked. However, Nikky immediately answered.
"Mr Clawed, please tell ’King’ Lenny that I just remembered I am not supposed to talk with him?"
"Why?" Lenny asked.
Nikky, still acting saucy did not answer Lenny. Instead, she turned to Clawed, "Tell him I said that I am still angry."
"About what?" Lenny asked again.
At this moment, Clawed understood and whispered into lenny’s ear. "You choose family members and did not pick her. She Still holds a grudge about that."
"Oh!" Lenny nodded in realization. He suddenly pulled her close. She tried to struggle out of his embrace but it was not obviously not possible.
"let me make it up to you," he whispered into her ear. Lenny waved his hand and Shadow runes morphed and bent, and instantly, a black diamond ring appeared out of thin air.
The moment she saw it, her eyes were immediately attracted to it, and she dived to get it. After all, women and shiny objects were forever a lasting pair.
But Lenny kept it a distance from her.
She tried to reach for it again and again and Lenny toyed with her.
"Lenny! You are being so mean." she pouted even harder and her eyes gave the impression that she was about to cry. But lenny Knew Nikky enough to know that it was all fake.
This woman had been tough enough to face an entire gang that used her as target practice on her own the first time they had met.
She was far tougher than she displayed.
"Oh! I thought you said that you are not speaking with me?" Lenny teased.
She realized and then turned away from him again. Lenny only chuckled at this.
He had not had this kind of fun in a long time. It was refreshing to see that look on her face.
"If you agree to talk with me again, and maybe give me a kiss on the cheek, then I’ll give it to you."
Now, Nikky was interested. Without wasting any time, she jumped on him to give him a kiss on the cheek.
They were many working that saw what was happening. But no one said a word. No one could tell a powerful man that he could not play as he wanted to.
Meanwhile, at the same time, at another part of the earth, a man, walking through the dried wastelands fell to the ground. This was at least the sixth time he was falling down. Even though he was a witch, he had not lived a very healthy life for a long time.
He was skinny and sick. But the most eye catching thing about him was the tattoo on his forearm. This was not just a Tattoo, but the Family crest of a demon family.
If Lenny had seen it, he would have recognized it instantly.
This was the crest of the same demon family that had been sealed in the baseless depths of Hell. They had attepted to come into this world using the Invitation stones, but Lenny had sent them back.
This witch was a servant of theirs.
At the moment, his body was weak and tired, but he gritted his teeth through the sands. His eyes carried both his anger and hatred.
"My masters! Forgive me... forgive this lowly one... I swear it, I swear it, I shall have revenge. I shall have revenge on him. I swear it." As he said this, he struggled to crawl on the hot dried sand.
However, his body was about to give up, and he knew that he was close to the point of death.
A mutated beast from the earth suddenly shot up into the sky. This was a giant Sand worm.
It looked at the man with intent to feed on him.
It rushed for him. The man, in his tiredness, could barely see, but he knew that something was coming for him. However, just when all hope was lost, the blood of the beast that intended to feed on him splashed in all directions, and the giant mutated beast died.
*DUM!* DUM!* DUM!* A heavy figure, with a lot of weight walked towards him. It stopped right before the man. "I am the entity... Grudge, and your deep resentment has called me...."
