NOVEL NEXT Chapter 121: What The Fuck!!!
"How dare you lie here!!" Veer growled, his spear humming with contained energy.
"Calm down, Veer," the second pillar's voice was a soothing command.
"But, second pillar," Veer began to protest.
"I said, calm down," the second pillar cut him off, his gaze returning to Xanor.
"If you don't know this, all Wendigos in the 'low world' have sworn a vow of secrecy. Revealing this planet's location means the death of all their family members. So tell me, why would Volkov risk his family's lives just for you?"
Xanor blinked in surprise and gave a low bow.
"I truly don't know about this vow. I also don't know why he told me this secret, but perhaps it's because he knew I could be useful to your king. I am more than just a man from the low world."
'If my galaxy is considered a 'low world,' are there other worlds? Are the Wendigos the rulers of the 'high world'?' Xanor's mind reeled.
The second pillar stared at him for a few moments, then snapped his fingers.
BOOOM!
Space tore open to Xanor's right, and a black gateway appeared. The other side was a void of darkness.
"Alright then, you might truly be useful. The king will decide yours and Volkov's family fate. Remember, if you take a step forward, you're leaving your life behind."
'Leaving my life behind? What does that mean?' Xanor wondered, but before he could ask, Veer walked over and shoved him toward the gateway.
"Move or die here," he said coldly.
Xanor looked at the two Wendigos, took a deep breath, then stepped through the portal.
"Keep an eye on him," the second pillar said.
Veer nodded and followed Xanor into the gateway. The second pillar turned his attention to the red planet.
"Let's change the location." He snapped his fingers again, and the entire planet vanished from space.
"This is better," he muttered, looking into the distance.
"That small energy would have alarmed the old man." He then entered the gateway, which disappeared from the horizon.

[The Council of Immortals.]
Leonardo, the first elder, opened his eyes, his face pale:
"That... That was the energy of a God rank." Sweat rolled down his temple.
"Such a figure isn't in this galaxy... But why did he or she come here?" He closed his eyes again, spreading his energy across the galaxy. His eyes snapped open.
"Could it be?"

[On Planet Gaia.]
Sunny stood atop the tallest tree, gazing at the open land surrounding the forest.
'This forest is one of the strangest things in the forbidden zone. For example, how are these trees standing on this barren land without water?' he thought.
'I have to admit it to myself, this isn't my world in the future. I wasn't transmigrated to the future, but to an entirely different world. Earth doesn't have so many races.' He sighed.
'And Vancouver... I need information from him...'
"You're alone, good."
Sunny looked over his shoulder as Vancouver climbed the tree and stood beside him.
"You climbed to the top?" Sunny asked in surprise.
"I can't use my flying skill, but that doesn't mean I can't climb," Vancouver said, staring into the distance.
A silence settled between the two for a few seconds before Vancouver asked, "Do you believe he can invent such a thing?"
"No," Sunny replied.
"....?!"
Vancouver turned to Sunny, stunned. "Then why didn't you say that?"
"Why should I? We won't know if he can invent it or not, so why not give the kid a chance?" Sunny countered.
"Giving him a chance by spending more than 10 Billion?" Vancouver scoffed, looking away.
"To me, 10 billion is nothing. Even if it was 10 trillion, I would give it to him. Maybe he'll surprise us."
"Maybe," Vancouver said, looking away.
"I'm not from this world," Sunny said, his words stunning Vancouver.
"Really?"
"Yes," Sunny nodded.
"I was an explorer... and a collector. I've explored so many caves, but only one caught my attention."
Vancouver remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
"On the wall of that cave, it says, 'You must locate Lester Blood'."
The words made Vancouver's face turn pale with horror.
"Oh... You know who that name belongs to," Sunny said, turning to him.
"I came here for that information, but I saw Josephine and fell in love with her, and my direction changed..." Sunny looked at the fog in the distance.
"I should continue my search..."
"---No!" Vancouver quickly stopped him.
"Huh? Why?" Sunny asked in confusion.
"Just... just don't," Vancouver said, his body trembling, his fists clenched.
"If you know something, tell me," Sunny pressed.
"Some secrets are better left uncovered. Just forget about the name and live your life peacefully," Vancouver said, turning to leave. He paused:
"That is... if you like this galaxy, you won't search for the one bearing that name."
With that, he leaped down the tree.
Sunny watched Vancouver descend, a frown on his face.
'If he knew I was his nephew, he might reveal the truth... But I can't just tell him that.' He sighed.
'Lester Blood... Who are you, really?'
WHOOSH!
A distant sound of something cutting through the wind made Sunny look up. Hundreds of boulders, with enough momentum to crush a whole moving trailer, were flying toward him and the forest.
"What the fuck!!"
BOOOM!
The first boulder smashed into his absolute defense skill, throwing him from the treetop.
'SHIT!! Thank goodness I have the absolute defense skill!' Sunny thought, stabilizing himself in the air.
"Something isn't right!"
He looked toward the fog, seeing a Giant, 25 meters tall, with small stones in his hands. These 'small stones' were the boulders that had just hit him and the forest. What shocked Sunny was the sight of hundreds more Giants walking toward the forest, their eyes fixed on the trees.
'What the?! Is that the leader?' he thought, only to see another Giant emerge from the fog, this one was 20 meters tall.
'Another leader?!'

'We need to go!' Sunny thought, looking at the second Giant, who, with a single motion, sent all the boulders in his hand toward the forest.
"No!! Ellen and Star!!" Sunny's palm glowed, and an orb of energy appeared. With a powerful throw, he launched it toward the wooden house below him.
BOOOOOOOM!!!
