BXBX NOVEL Chapter 696 Help (1)
“Unless… Uvish designated them to be like that,” Billy thought. “While he created monsters like the titans to put our strength to test, he wouldn’t gain much if dungeons break left and right and wipe out the population nearby.”
In any case, it took four days for the tyrants to reach level two hundred. They finally were able to entertain his wives and friends, and they were so bloodthirsty… In any case, after fighting the level two tyrants for the whole day, they were finally satisfied and decided to move on.
“We should go back and return to prepare for the next steps,” Kate declared. “We will be moving around a bit, so we have to do many things.”
“Such as?” Billy asked.
“Such as warning the leader of the states that we are heading there and make them move those who are interested in the training to go to a single place to make things more convenient,” Kate replied. “It would be too time-consuming for us to travel around with each city and town.”
“I guess you are right…” Billy said.
As expected of the daughter of a man who ruled their hometown, she knew her shit regarding managing things. Billy didn’t consider that at all… he was a simple man, after all. He had everything in mind to teach people how to punch others and train properly.
“Are you guys already going?” Icarus asked.
“There is one final thing we need to discuss,” Meryl said. “It is about Zenis and his people.”
“There are still people from his tribe alive?” Billy asked.
“No, that is why we need to talk about this,” Meryl said. “We have his body, and just like those bones we found, he is decomposing extremely slowly. We also decided to keep an eye on it in case Uvish decides to use it as a zombie.”
“That was the right call… you want to make clones of him?” Billy asked. “Is that even possible with a dead body as a basis?”
“It is… most of the monster clones Zenis created. He used bones as a medium in his machines,” Meryl replied. “I think that the whole world would lose a lot if any species here go extinct, and it isn’t like they will have his memories.”
Putting the environmentalism aside, Billy wasn’t so sure of that idea. They had one hell of a powerful natural ability, and Uvish could try to make use of that in the future. As species, that skill was powerful, but their overall fighting ability wasn’t that great. Zenis only reached the peak because he was one of them.
“I suppose it is fine… if you think that is the right thing to do,” Billy said. “Still, other demi-humans might not like that. Their hatred runs deep, and those who were affected by Zenis’ actions might want revenge. The other half might treat the new ones like gods as well, so this will cause a lot of problems.”
“The existence of the knowledge that a species was exterminated will probably be a lot worse,” Meryl said.
“Isn’t that a common thing around here?” Billy asked. “Like I said, go for it if you think that is the right call. This is your homeland, after all. If you want to improve things, from my perspective, you should try to be a bit more forceful since there are too many wanderers. That will save you a lot of time and from worries. Then again, I am not a ruler, and I don’t want to lead too many people, so what do I know?”
Meryl nodded with a serious face after hearing that. Being forceful seemed like a problem when she fought for so long against the tyranny of other people that had powers like her. Still, as long as she doesn’t cross the line, things should be fine… probably.
After parting without those words, Billy and his friends returned home. During the trip, Billy recalled that his spies had been sending a lot of messages since new bandits groups appeared and caused problems. That was a bit annoying, but he could use them for his future projects. He will need to sell many things around the states, after all. The more hands to help him, the better.
When they returned home, Billy saw that his siblings were there. Since they had been in the dungeons for the last few days, he didn’t have the chance to tell them about the trip. Speaking of which, they were already nineteen, and in that world, most people have kids at that age, but it didn’t look like they were planning to settle down any time soon…
“Billy! I want one armor like yours!” Samuel said.
“So, you want broken armor? That can be arranged, I guess,” Billy said.
“No, that one before it was broken…” Samuel said.
“That isn’t how you ask for a favor,” Samara said and then sighed before she put Helen on her arms and patted her. “That being said, if it is possible… I also want one.”
“Making those takes too much time, and I am working on a new model that will be more powerful. Just wait for a bit, and then you two will have yours,” Billy said. “Anyway, I am still in the prototype phase, so it might take a few months before you can get one… Unless…”
“Unless?” Samuel and Samara asked at the same time.
“Unless you help us while traveling around and help me teach the others, then I will have more time to focus on that project,” Billy replied.
