Chapter 6 - POINTLESS WAR

Lemme see which ants are disturbing my kingdom. Wherever you are, prepare to be snapped out of existence.

As Leo teleported to the commoner sect, he was actually shocked when he saw over 10 million armies of the middle and noble sects, as they were marching to the commoner sect's borders. Leo was levitating; as he saw this, he sent a message to the head of combat, telling him that two enemies want to take out our commoner sect. "Send one of the special units—only one is enough for ants like them," he ordered, as he disappeared to the throne room.

The middle and noble sects marched to the gates of the commoner sect. As the gates opened, a figure that seemed to be human was let out of the gate, walking towards them. As the commanders told the armies to halt, a fat noble with a twisted mustache came out, waiting for the being to near them. In an instant, the figure appeared in front of them—a human, wearing a kind of stretchy, tight, lean armor.

As the mustache man started speaking on behalf of the middle and noble sect kings, he declared, "We have come with our forces to lay out some terms and conditions." He pulled up a scroll from his bag and read it: "Thus, His Royal Highness of both the noble and middle sects has detected that the commoner sect is going through some unforeseen changes, and it has been decided by the council that you are a threat to our reign and sovereignty. We have provided two options for you to decide: the first one, face our full might head-on and be destroyed; or surrender and give all the resources to us, and you will be spared."

The noble was smirking, thinking, what a lowly man does he think he can face the might of the two forces alone? Phasing out of his thoughts, he said, "We are still waiting to decide." The man replied, "No need; it has been decided now. Let me provide you with my own two options."

The noble retorted, "Who do you think you are to make a demand like that? Shush now." The man said, "I heard your terms—now be a good little noble pig and hear mine: my first condition, either you and your armies retreat peacefully, or I send you back home running with your tail between your legs; or, better still, I exterminate you guys here—no survivors."

The noble shrieked, "You asshole! All soldiers, prepare for combat! It's time to show this lowly human his place!" Hmm, it's been decided then, as he said, "War it is." As the forces rushed to him, Leo told him not to kill them. "He should just leave some very bad injuries and knock them out; if not, for my master, I would have killed you all. Anyways, time to show them how lowly they are."

As he levitated to the sky, Leo lifted his hands and commanded, "Calmly, kneel." The soldiers were forced to the ground by gravity, and the trash noble was completely slammed to the ground like a pancake. The soldiers, struggling to breathe, were scared as they managed to say to themselves, "Only one man forced us to kneel. Just who are you?"

The man said, "Listen well: if you don't run with your tail between your legs, I will make sure to uninstall you all out of existence." As he lifted the gravity domain, some of the soldiers ran without looking back; others ran in different directions, while some idiots still tried to take him on. To those foolish soldiers, he said, "You still think you can harm me?" as he pointed his finger at them. The soldiers' vital points were manipulated, and they all passed out.

The man then decided to send one last message. He turned giant— as large as the sky—and told them, "If I ever see any of you guys again, I will make sure I send you on a one-way trip to space." As he shrank, he went back to his master to deliver the results. The soldiers ran like hell itself was coming after them, as they all regrouped at the mountains. They weren't certain what to do, as they couldn't just go to their king and they couldn't go back, as it would be the end of their chapter. So, they were stranded. They said, "We have no choice; let's just go to the king. Whatever he wants to do with us, he can do so—at least it's better than what that monster is going to do with us." They all packed their belongings and journeyed to the royal city.

Both of the kings were waiting for them to give the situation report. They went with fear gripping them as the highest-ranking official delivered the report to the two kings. The kings were furious. One said, "What? You all were sent running by one man! This is unacceptable!" The other king asked, "How did he make you guys retreat? He used a technique that was never seen before, even by top mages. He used something to weigh us down—my body was heavy. I couldn't stand; I just kneeled. Others were slammed to the ground, but he didn't kill any of us; he just intimidated us, as no casualties were recorded."

The noble king said, "So he didn't kill any of you guys?""No, sire," the messenger replied. The noble king continued, "Then he gave us a warning. I think it would be best for us if we stay out of the commoner sect. Pass this law to the citizens until the matter at hand is resolved: all connections to the commoner sect will be cut off, and no one is authorized to go to the commoner sect. Understood?""Yes, sire," he answered, as he left the scene.

Now, the scene changes to Leo. As he sat on his throne, thinking (by the way, Leo is a full-grown adult now), he wondered, "What can I do about that threat? I don't think I can defeat that threat with my current level. I need to figure out a way of closing down this threat, but what can I do? Even though I trained, I still don't think I can stand a chance. Hmmm... oh right, I completely forgot about this ability. Time to run some simulations."

As he started, he said, "System, run the simulation on the upcoming war that is going to happen in three and a half years." The system said, "Warning: the simulation run on future events is a hypothesis. It does not determine the outcome, as it is not 100 percent accurate, so use with caution." It then asked him, "Do you still wish to proceed with the simulation?"He said, "Why not? What can possibly go wrong?"The system said, "Activating simulation."Leo was shocked; he could not understand what was happening.
