Chapter 1000 It is time
Lex had to use everything to keep himself from cracking a smile or laughing out loud as he watched the drama-cats theatrics. No matter what, he had not been prepared for them to fall on their knees and start lamenting their great fate to their 'lawd'.
It was both funny and adorable. But Lex began to sense that the time for his first showdown in this realm was slowly approaching, so he had to rush.
"Come, let me show you the city. We haven't even determined if you like it or not. If you don't, then you do not have to use it, as others naturally will. As for the rest of the drama-cats ability to pay, I can only wish you good luck."
Lex teleported them to the underground city, which was lightly illuminated by a type of moss planted all around. Ventilation, Lex discovered, was one of the greatest issues in developing an entire underground city. But given his new capabilities, it took him hardly any time at all to come up with an arrangement for a natural and persistent flow of air to flow through the settlement, driven by strategically placed holes in the ground, a few heatsinks and the natural action of hot air to rise.
Essentially, cold air would enter the city through the holes and travel across the various sections of the city until it encountered a heatsink which would quickly heat up the air and then rise up through a network of chimneys and vents.
Of course, creating such a natural cycle was just giving it a bit of an edge, for the system itself would ensure that the environment stayed perfect. But it felt nice to create a design which automatically accommodated for a number of problems.
For now the underground city was a bit bare, but he planned on filling it with a number of other bioluminescent plants to add both light and color to the settlement.
"By the fuzz on my chin, it's perfect," Jacob muttered as he lost himself in the sight of the sprawling city. Lex felt like he really should stop giving them so much good news in such a short time. It probably wasn't good for their hearts.
"So I have to suppress my cultivation growth till I learn these?" he murmured to himself. If that was the case, he might as well start now. He turned his head towards where he sensed the maliciousness from, and teleported in that direction.
Though he teleported to the limits of the Inns boundary, he did not actually use the Host Attire to do so. Once, he needed the system's aid to do everything. It had all seemed so magical. Now, he suddenly discovered that many of the things the system allowed him to do, he could do on his own.
When compared to how magical he thought it would be... it was even freaking better!
Using his instincts, he traced the source of the malicious intent, uncaring about how far it was. Although the range of his spirit sense had grown, and could now encompass an entire 600 miles(1000 km), he seemed to be able to follow his instincts even farther! Though admittedly, he could not see anything. He just found the location.
From the top of the wall Lex took a single step forward, but in the next moment he appeared in a completely different region. Rather than the lush and thriving region of the Midnight Inn, he found himself in barren, scorched lands that had suffered the scars of a brutal war.
Countless bodies covered the ground for as far as the eye could see, and one could immediately tell that two sides had fought a grievous battle here. But their battle had somehow given birth to some kind of monstrosity, resulting in the defeat of both sides.
In front of Lex stood a massive creature with a body that spanned dozens of miles. The bottom half of its body was exactly like a centipede, with exactly 100 long, bony legs on each side of its long body. The top half, for some unknown reason, had the torso and face of a human, though sized proportionally to its gigantic body. But instead of the hands of a human, it had gruesome, jagged claws like that of a praying mantis.
The creature had not noticed Lex yet, as it was busy consuming the bodies on the ground, though even in that state Lex could feel an intimidating aura from it.
A sword appeared in his hand. It was time for the Midnight realm to welcome the warbringer.
