Chapter 80: ‘Heaven’
"Ahhhh!!! Fuck it!"
After laying down for a while, Lorien completely calmed down and organized his thoughts.
Standing up, He patted the dust off his clothes, and started laughing.
"Red-skinned asshole! We'll meet again! Don't let me get my hands on you by then!"
Unbeknown to him, his imaginary enemy had already died miserably, and even if that were not the case, finding that world would be near impossible!
But if by chance he finds it, the clan that the man belongs to will be very unlucky, after all, they all look the same! And what do you do if you can't tell which one is your enemy?
Kill them all! After all, none of them are good guys anyways.
But this doesn't matter much now as with this 'adversary' in place, Lorien's enthusiasm was sparked as he has now found another goal to work towards.
He had never felt this determined to get stronger!
Before this, Lorien kept practicing to protect himself, and help the woman who sent him here after getting strong enough.
And now, after this eye-opening experience that allowed him to discover a much bigger and wider world, this determination became much stronger, he really didn't want to feel so helpless ever again!
'It seems that I can't slack!'
Now clear-minded, Lorien finally started analyzing his surroundings.
'An Apocalyptic huh...'
'The worst possible world for me, It seems that I won't be staying here for long...'
Lorien's dream energy originates from the dreams of living things, this includes humans, animals, and any other organism that has a consciousness of its own and sleeps.
The more living beings there are and the stronger their consciousness and soul are the better it is for Lorien!
This makes humans the most optimal species as they are numerous in number and they have a very strong consciousness compared to anything else on the planet.
And this is exactly why Lorien dislikes the apocalypse!
The end of the world signifies the death of many people and causes the survivors to scatter around in very small groups.
This makes the gains that he may receive in this world minimal unless it's some world with some unique stuff that he may find useful.
'Guess, I'll have to determine which world I am in if I even know it at all that is!'
Feeling a headache, Lorien started rubbing his temples and he gave off a long sigh.
'Sigh...'
Meanwhile, Just as Lorien was thinking, Saigai also stood up, but different from Lorien's determination she still looked a bit muddled.
'How can I get stronger.....'
As she was thinking of this, she instinctively opened her 'doom energy' perspective which is usually off, after all, who wants to see a scarlet world 24/7?
"HUHHH??!!! THIS IS?!!!'
Hearing Saigai's exclamation, Lorien turned his head toward her.
'...Is she surprised because of the zombies or the city?'
"Ummm...Is everything alright?"
Hearing Lorien's question, Saigai whose eyes were shining brightly and looked as if she was drooling at something didn't answer clearly but responded in a stuttering manner.
"THI..THISS...THIS IS HEAVEN!!"
'huh?'
Hearing this, Lorien looked around in confusion, trying to see if he had missed anything.
'Nope! Still a dumpster fire!'
But then, just as he was about to ask her again, he suddenly thought of something.
'Wait for a second! Doom...Calamity...The apocalypse...Could it be??!'
When this thought came to his mind, he didn't waste any time as he immediately used his power to simulate her perspective.
'THIS IS??!!'
As soon as he switched perspectives, his vision was completely overwhelmed with a scarlet color!
The city looked very different, there was scarlet 'smoke' or 'mist' everywhere shrouding everything!
Waves of 'smoke' enveloped the city! This 'mist' covered buildings, cars, and everything else in between!
This 'smoke' was soo thick it actually made it hard to see, it looked like the smog that appeared many times in England and China, just scarlet in color.
The moment Lorien saw this smoke, he immediately recognized it!
After staying for so long with Saigai, if he wasn't able to even recognize 'Doom/Calamity' energy then he should just jump off a cliff!
Raising his head, Lorien's eyes suddenly shrank as he discovered that not only did it cover the whole city, but it also filled the sky!
Now, this can even be dubbed as 'shrouding the heaven and the earth!'
And not only that! when he looked around, Lorien also discovered that this 'mist' was being continuously generated by the zombies!
'FUCK!'
"THIS IS!!! TOO MUCH!!!!"
'Is it because of the apocalypse? No, even if those zombies generate a lot of 'Doom Energy' they won't be able to generate so much energy in such a short period of time!'
Just by looking around a bit, Lorien is able to determine that the end of the world hadn't started for long.
'Something else must have caused it! But what may it be?'
'Sigh...Whatever! It doesn't matter anyways, it's existence is already a fact so there is no reason to dig deeper into it!'
After discovering the reason for Saigai's excitement Lorien looked toward her just to see her opening her arms wide and closing her eyes as if embracing the world!
'Well...It seems that we won't be going anywhere anytime soon!'
'And here I was thinking that we may just leave in a couple of days.'
Rubbing his temples, Lorien didn't know how to feel now.
He was happy because Saigai is now able to grow stronger quickly, it's just that for her to absorb all the energy in such a world may take a long time!
At least 20 or 30 years if everything goes well.
But Lorien didn't want to stay in such a world for such a long time as his strength will just stagnate without enough Dream Energy.
'Ughh...What should I do!'
---Note---
There is indeed something in this world that is very helpful to Lorien, can someone guess what it is (Don't look at P@treon, be fair :p)
