Death Guns In Another World

In an unknown location, Lord Thanos could be seen kneeling in front of a giant door, emitting ominous black energy that made the surrounding space twist as if drills were piercing through them.

[So, you mean to say even you, the strongest in the current world, failed to capture a little girl still wet behind the ears?] A voice came behind the giant door; this voice sounded ancient.

''My apologies, Lord, I have failed you, but it was because I didn't wish to kill that vessel. He might die in the future, but I want it to be by your hands.'' Lord Thanos explained with his head touching the ground in a sign of absolute respect.

The owner of the voice behind the giant door stayed silent. He knew his subordinate was speaking of Alex, the one their king, the Chaos Prince, had his eyes on. Alex might become chaos's vessel in the future, well, if he were to survive the incoming event, that is.

[I see, no wonder you failed, but why let that little girl go even though she became a damaged good? She was still our vessel, one of them.]

'As expected, Lord knew what happened in that forest but still asked.' Lord Thanos thought, secretly overjoyed by his master's unlimited strength. Without these restrictions, he would have made Mysthia his breeding ground.

Still, with his head against the ground, Lord Thanos explained.

''It was because I wish to test something. Incursio will wake up after some time feeling happy to be still alive but soon will fall into despair as soon she notices what I've done to her; she won't have any other choice other than to come to us. As for Alexander, his goal for rescuing Incursio must have been because he wished for information about us, about our location, but he will soon find out that the one he rescued would be the one to bring calamity to his family. The despair the two will experience will be so sweet like divine nectar; I can't wait to see it.''

[Hohohoho! How twisted of you. Despair is the sweetest melody lower races could produce. I will not interfere in your fun, but you better hurry. I get the remaining key. That idiot of elf still failed after having received so much strength.]

p ''It was to be expected his opponent was that woman after all.'' Lord Thanos declared, recalling that terrific elf he saw in those flashbacks shared with him by Lord; she had been the first person to injure him even though his body received body underwent a change after receiving the chaos blessing, it became durable like the toughest metal yet she still managed to injure him.

[Typhania, huh?! You are right; no matter what kind of boost he received, he would have needed more than just strength to win against that formidable woman.]

It was his second time hearing the Lord compliment Typhania, and he was jealous; he wondered when it would be his time to receive such a compliment. He quickly threw those nonsensical thoughts to the back of his head and said.

''You don't have to worry. I have a plan for taking the key in the empress's hand; she wouldn't have expected something like that. As for the other two keys, I'll get them. I've already sent two of our most strongest men to the empires. It is but a matter of time before you set free again, my lord. Let's them enjoy some peaceful life for a while before pushing them into despair; this despair will fuel the world's door that will lead to the chaos realm to begin the conquest of this special world. Everything has been set into motion, my lord.''

Hearing his subordinate passionate speech and knowing how capable the latter was, the owner of that voice was none other than the giant black dragon that fought against Typhania and her friends. The guardian of the world's door who had been corrupted after coming into contact with the chaos energy. The once-mighty Bahamut.

Before becoming the guardian of Mysthia's world door, Bahamut had once been the prince of the dragon race, living an excellent life until one day his world got destroyed; everyone died apart from small detail such as his world being destroyed with no survivors and his identity, he didn't remember anything. He heard a voice asking to go into the middle realm where the middle worlds were located and become the guardian of the world's door if he wished to survive and one day get his revenge on the people responsible for the destruction of his world.

Back then, he didn't question the owner of that voice because he was filled with resentment. His world being one of the strongest ones in the higher realm, they were bound to dominate the other worlds, at least the day he would become the emperor of the dragons. With their powerful body and near-perfect affinity with mana, only they had the right to sit at the top of the food chain, to be the apex predator; unfortunately, someone destroyed that dream, and he would do anything to repay this person; it was why Bahamut accept that voice offer.

As a result, he had become powerful and was about to be part of something bigger, something that would bring him closer to his dream of revenge and being an apex predator.

[I leave everything in your hands, and you better not disappoint me. We must have this world.] Bahamut warned Lord Thanos.

''Don't worry, Lord. I know how this world is as it's the anchor to surviving worlds in the middle realm. Once we take this, it will become easy to corrupt the other worlds. Leave everything in my hands and wait for a good answer.'' Lord Thanos made a vow to conquer this world.

Mysthia's held an important role in the middle realm. If we were to use the Earth analogy, the current Mysthia would be like the last firewall stopping a terrific malware from invading and corrupting the remaining worlds surviving thanks to it.

For the moment, Alex and others had no idea how precious this world was to them.
