Darknym's POV
Darknym could see and hear everything that was going in and out of the others heads but he disregarded all the garbage and only kept the useful parts.
In truth his mind after becoming a psychic had already begun to crumble from the mass of information he had at that time, now however he was no longer human, his biology was alien to this world and although Galie was human for some reason, he himself was not.
Darknym was now following Galie and the others, while Brown was riding on his back, she didn't really care about all this but she liked to use her magic wand to its limit until she fell unconcious and used it again. It was the magic light staff, which in truth was only useful for apprentices but it's form wasn't the ordinary oak staff, it looked like a magic wand from the girl anime, adorn with jewels and a beautiful silk knot.
Creating something like her stuff was easy, since it only needed an intermediate skill to inscribe the light spell to the wand, although the materials used for it would be considered a waste by others, but seeing how she could draw things with it made even Galie a little Jealous.
At the main camp there was an uproar, the npc mages were talking about a message from the gods and something about the end of the world, while priests and other npcs who were more religious begun praying to their gods.
Darknym's avatar was weak, you could say that he was even less than level 100, but his true power didn't lie in the ingame skills and stats, it was his inhuman psychic powers. If he wanted to he could destroy the whole of Allastar in mere seconds but he had no reason to do anything like that, after all it was just a game. In his mind he was thinking about what strange contraptions and machines he could make from all the knowledge he had gained from others.
He liked pondering what would happen if you applied physics and chemistry, Mathematics with biology, there were dozens of applications in both and the most frightening thing was that everything had some common points.(by physics and chemistry, I mean using the laws of physics to play with the elements, by mathematics and biology, in a sort of way do you think that numbers can tell if you are healthy or not, like Hp works in a game, in such a way applying science to measure and derive the truths of the universe)
After aquiring the worldly matters Darknym had begun dwelling in research, research into everything and anything he got his hands on. This was his new meaning in life, he was always eccentric to begin with and now he had turned into a mad scientist.
Not that it realy matters inside the game, but he could do whatever he wanted, in truth his real body was nowhere to be seen in the real world as he was inside this Imaginary world, he psychic powers and strange biology enabled him to travel inside people's thought and dreams.
"Dad, why are they all so nervous and depressed?"
Asked Galie who couldn't tell why the npc had gone crazy.
"Yes Dad, why are the so sad?"
Brown said, not finding another way to express what she was seeing.
"Do you want me to make them happy or something, why do you care for them, it's not like they care about you"
Darknym reprimented them making Lidie somewhat angry, finaly understanding why Galie was so weird, almost like a child.
A female shout came from a distance, catching the interest of both Darknym's group and most of the players present.
"How dare you talk to me like that, if mother hadn't favoured you I would have killed you myself"
The blue haired woman shouted.
"But Blue I can see the future, unless someone as powerful as the empress intervenes, Allastar will go to neither of you two"
The young man said nervously, Lidie and Galie however could identify the young man as Time, the mysterious leader of the Rebels.
"Dad why are they fighting"
Brown asked somewhat afraid from the shouts.
"Don't bother, it's just a wordfight between father and daughter"
Darknym said, but his comment in the wide silence was heard by many players. Many of whom knew who Blue was.
"Whom do you call my father you...you weakling!"
Shouted Blue, she was already enraged knowing that she was Time's daughter with Merry but families in the new order meant nothing, after all today it was all a large game for her.
Time's face saddenly darkened, someone could say that he aged at that moment. Although his face was that of a child but the grimace he made had made it look like that of an old man.
The reason behind this was rather simple, although everyone else couldn't understand but Time simply hadn't forseen Darknym's presence.
You have to understand that the shock from this was enormous since he could be called the best farseer on earth, his ability to see the future was genuine and in truth if he had the same threatment as Merry, he would be even stronger than both her and Darknym himself.
"My father is not weak, he's just a little stupid"
Little Brown complained making everyone present to burst in laugher, even Blue couldn't help but laugh.
Only Time was pale to death as he couldn't really comprehend how come he can't see the man's future at all, it was like the man didn't exist in the same time as them.
"Brownie, why did you call dad an idiot, although I do some really stupid stuff at times but I'm not stupid, didn't I show you all the wonderfull things I made"
Darknym said with rather cheap acting as if he was hurt by her words.
Of course all that he gained from the Brownie who rode on his back was a hit on the top of his head.
She seemingly instantly understood that he was making fun of her and retaliated making the scene somewhat comical.
"Okay I give up, I give up, how can I deceive such a smart girl?"
Darknym said, which in turn earned him another hit on the head.
"Galie can you do something to help?"
Darknym said somewhat helpless, if he didn't know better he would think that Brownie had went mad,
but to his surprise all the help he got from Galie was another hit on his head.
"I just found it funny"
Galie said when he looked at her with a rather astonished expression, in truth he knew what was to come but didn't care playing with them.
It was probably because of this that Brownie called him stupid, but he didn't really care.
"You, hehe, what's your name...oh yes the name"
Blue said while still trying to take a breath.
"Darknym, would you like to go with me and attack those foul demons together and show the little girl, just how strong daddy really is"
Blue of course spoke disrespectfully trying to ridicule him but what she didn't know was that her words only brought a sneer to his face, as if telling her "who do you think you are?" indirectly.
Blue was really mad at him, his meer sight gave her a bad vibe, as if he was the worst person on earth, a scum without equal, in simple words, she didn't like his face from the start.
"Oh, little girl wants to act tough, you can't even defeat my little daughter, what makes you think that you have the means to disrespect your elders"
Darknym said with an annoying smirk on his face that made Blue and everyone present shocked, only Darknym's group didn't understand why it was such a big thing.
"Do you know who I am?"
Blue asked with a smirk on her face.
"Time take you daughter and leave us alone"
Darknym said, making Blue mad, while Time grew somewhat pale as he silently approached Blue and wispered something to her ear.
"Are you crazy!"
Blue shouted in a fit, her eye looking at Time with disdain and anger, in truth she was rather free and unrestrained, she didn't care even if Time was her father, all she cared about was becoming the next empress and Time was advising her to retreat and give up on Allastar saying some stupid things like Green would give up on Allastar as well, but not understanding that even if she did, the draw would still shift to her favour.
"Time it seems that having daughters is rather troublesome, right?"
Darknym said while Brownie and Galie at the same time begun beating him down in a frenzy, even Lidie gave him some, while at the same time Blue too begun beating hitting him, not really caring why.
In truth Blue was a group person, she liked going with the flow, not caring why they were doing something, she hated thinking too much over things, she liked to act, the exact oposite of Green, who liked to lie down and think matters through.
Someone would probably ask what's so great about them, after all they lack both common sense and knowledge, in truth only tree of the Divas have strong psychic powers and blue is one of them, as for the rest they were just lucky to gain a 100level clearance by their mother, being able to do whatever they like.
Suddenly all four of them froze in place as Darknym stood up from the floor, in reality his HP was nearing zero so he stopped their fun for the moment.
Blue felt fear in her heart as she couldn't even move a finger, while Galie and the others only felt somewhat irritated.
After casting a healing spell on himself, okay it was at least three spells and it took him at least a quarter of an hour to cast them, five minutes for each spell. Sounds stupid but you have to understand that he hadn't played the game for too long and his mage profession and spell masteries were too low at the moment.
The others were silently looking at the strange phenomenon, not really understanding what was going on, they could only see that the four girls had suddenly frozen in place.
"Okay, enough games, Galie and Brown, we are going somewhere else, here it's too stuffy and there's nothing to do"
Darknym announced while unfreezing them, Galie and Brown now seemed somewhat sad, they were just having fun and maybe found a new friend, they really didn't want to go back to the magic school, where they spent their days studying about the world and spellcasting and sometimes playing around with magic, but in reality there were very few people in the academy who looked for friends, most of them already had their own groups and didn't give a shit about others.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Seeing Brown getting ready to cry Darknym, rapidly apologized and begun trying to raise her mood, something that made Galie even more jealous.
Blue at the moment however had a different idea passing through her, a rather risky but plorable idea.
To everyone's surprise Blue suddenly hugged Darknym from behind, her rich bossom rubbing on his back.
Of course to someone like Darknym this was something neglegible but to anyone who saw this, it meant only one thing, she wanted to win him to her side, meaning that he was someone strong enough to be worth winning over.
"I think that we could become good friends, please do stay with us for a bit longer"
Said Blue with a rather alluring voice that would have made any man mad, a real pity that Darknym wasn't in the mood at the moment as he was seriously trying to calm down Brown who was now crying ceaselessly.
"Enough!"
Darknym shouted, making Brown shut up, of course his way was the most extreem and wrong but he didn't stop there.
"I lose, tell me what do you want me to do?"
Darknym followed submissively, knowing that he couldn't win against this small blackmailer, he already knew that, if only he could foresee this little trounble's future, but he couldn't, her future was shrouded in chaos and disaster, any moment she could explode in a wave of destructive psychic force that could wipe out a small city, but her real body was still lying in his house or base or whatever he called his crystal Rombus.
====================================================
Simon's POV
Back on the Red Moon Simon and Kaj were laying outside on a strange beach, while sunbathing, at their side there was food and drinks.
Suddenly Someone appeared out of nowhere and blocked Simon's sun.
"I know, you came to take back your gift right?"
Simon said, there were two reason why he thought that Darknym would do that, first was because he didn't trust him from the start and second because he somewhat fucked it up.
"Why would I, I simply need you to postpone your plans on world conquest for some time, about one or two years would be enough, well at most ten"
Darknym said, sounding rather troubled.
"You know that I can do nothing about it"
Simon said somewhat annoyed remembering the moment he became a little too curious and gave Domina the last evolution, turning it into a Demon God.
At the moment he didn't know that he had no authority over npc gods, even with the master code and the full control of the world he could do nothing against the gods, in a way they had equal powers to his and could do whatever they wanted and Domina had only one plan and that was Conquering the whole world and with Its power it wasn't impossible to do so, after all it was now as strong as a god.
"Do I have to think of everything, don't you still have his ID code and other Data just use them to freeze him or put him into a slumber for a few years"
Darknym said and Simon suddenly as if out of nowhere saw a strange series of numbers in his mind, those were numbers he had seen but didn't really give much thought to them and thought that he had forgotten them, but as it seemed his mind still held them in his memories, Darknym had used some psychic power to retrieve them and as they were flashing before him, Darknym turned and left.
Simon was rather surprised and somewhat excited, because he suddenly realized where to search for the item ID of things, meaning how to interact with players without even being nearby, he could simply use their ID to do whatever he wanted to them, something that he hadn't thought of before.
"Dear, did you say something?"
kaj asked still yawning as she had fallen asleep under the comfortable hot sun.
"Nothing important, just a rather pleasant surprise"
Simon said as he smiled and closed his eyes under his sunglasses, lying under the heat of the sun.
====================================================
Green's POV
Just a day ago everything was going fine and now all hell broke loose. The strange demonic city had turned into an inferno and even the ground was too hot to touch, she had to use heat insulated materials under her spider legs to move around.
Domina had suddenly turned into a Demon God of fire, but what made her depressed was that he went mad, he had even tried to kill her for speaking her mind.
She and Purple were now fleeing from the Demon City at high speed, with a few of her subordinates who weren't wearing the infernal demonic armor that had tunred many of them into Domina's puppets.
Only the Jaks didn't seem to care about the change in Domina's behavior.
'You will pay for this'
Green thought as she escaped, her youthfull face becoming twisted by anger. Players who were controlled could only delete their avatars leaving a puppet for Domina to control, since their avatar didn't dissappear after its deletion but remained as a corpse or something.
Her plan of taking over Allastar had been ruined but at least Blue would too lose this world to that idiot Simon, at least that's what she thought as she and her subordinates logged out of Allastar forever, or at least for a rather long time, or until a chance to claim it reappears.
====================================================
Max's POV
If there was someone who ate the full power of Domina's evolution, there that's the players who were camped close to the defiled ground, they were rather surprised when the ground begun changing colors and in the end turned into a burning inferno.
The Purification was useless against the hellfire that spawned from the ground and the heat made it difficult to even approach the corrupted lands.
But the situation became even worse when the flames begun moving towards them engulfing the whole land territory into a fiery hell.
Max could see his troops burn in the infernal flames while most players simply logged out, abandoning their npc troops, it simply wasn't worth feeling the pain of being burned alive.
Max with all his strength shouted orders to the panicked npcs and some leftover players.
"Regroup, mages begin casting defensive shields, don't bother healing others, everyone begin drinking potions for healing, those who have no potion get closer to a mage, everyone retreet in formation!"
With his fierce voice commanding over his troops, not many dared disregarding his commands and the chaos quickly subsided.
Of course tha was only on his side, on other sides there were heavy losses and very few players cared about their mercenary troops, after all they would only stay with them for a limited amount of time.
The ones who didn't instantly disconect were those who had brought their own npc armies and had something to lose, their losses were also minimal since they were prepared for situations like this, to the veterans of the game this infernal tide of flames was nothing special, after all there were lots of spellcasters who could replicate something like that in a castle siege and being in a large scale war was no different than an open field battle.
Max at the moment was camping with his npc troops away from the cursed lands, licking their wounds as the damage they had taken was not small.
The Helllion guild had lost half of their total forces in a single day, if not for every guild suffering the same loss, Drogun would no longer belong to their guild.
Max, Red and Honda were sitting near the fire, Honda was now seeing Max in a new light.
He might not be the best warrior but he was a great commander, in truth many of the surviving npcs were expressing their thanks to him all through the day, even some players came from time to time to express their gratitude, since they could save their trained companions from that situation. Every one of them knew that without his guidance they would have been lost.
"Son, we are going back"
Max heard a message from his father. Max didn't know why they were retreating but he was somewhat happy because he would see Progie once more, but a little after the message another thing shocked the players and npcs. The Raging inferno had stopped advancing and even subsided a bit.
There were some happy faces and some sad, they were those who survived and those who thought that they were completely defeated. It was the truth and although being alive was something worderful for the npcs, many of them were somewhat angry and dejected by this crushing defeat.
The army was going home, this was something that all the chanels in the virtual world were transmiting, there was a large uproar as the demonic players were betrayed by their leader, the Demon Domina and no one knew what was happening but Blue the defacto Ruler of Allastar was giving an Interview.
"What can you tell us about the your failed crusade and crushing defeat in the northern mountains?"
A rather sharp interviewer asked, earning a rather disatisfied look from Blue.
"There's no defeat, this is a ceasefire, both sides decided to take a step back after a rather harsh round of negotiations"
Blue said with a smile that could burn a hundred hearts.
Red could only laugh as she knew full well that Blue was lying, or at least not telling them everything.
After all there was no way that Green would sit for negotiations, or rather it was Blue who wouldn't sit, since she was even more headstrong than Green.
Of course only Red knew that, so the rouse passed successfully as the truth.
Max and Honda too watched the transmission but they had a different opinion than Red, a feeling of gratitude by Max and a lusty look from Honda, after all Blue was wearing a rather revealing outfit, showing half of her nipples to the public, but none could speak against her since she was the daugher of the Empress, one of the ten Divas.
