Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Mory tried to mediate between the two sides, he was the one who supported Ibro the most. Ibro looked at him and faked annoyance as he said impatiently:

"Five minutes only, after those minutes I want to hear your final decision about our agreement."

Ibro didn't move from his place this time, as he stood there in the air motionless watching those scared players. He didn't stop observing them with his divine sense while he listened clearly to every word they said. 

The main complaint of them was about the hidden effects of these stones. They accused Ibro of hiding this scary effect from them, while others tried to meditate and explain the current desperate situation they were facing. 

Although those wise players were fewer in number, they held high positions in this players' circle. After the five minutes ended, most of the players agreed to follow Ibro's lead, while only a few were left rejecting this alliance. 

Mory and his league of veterans were helpless in front of this small group. Their rejection threatened everyone here, as this meant to reject Ibro's offer. 

When the five minutes ended, the group of players was divided into two, one big group under the lead of Mory moved towards Ibro. Mory's mind was busy with the words he needed to say to convince Ibro to help them. 

Ibro, on the other hand, was satisfied by such a result, as the other smaller group which was heading arrogantly towards the far demon gate consisted of traitors. 

Ibro wouldn't risk everything for the sake of traitors, he killed one of them before and now he would kill them all. 

Without notice, he moved with great speed heading towards those traitors. Although he moved rapidly and suddenly, he was instantly noticed by the players, but they couldn't move a finger to stop him. 

Ibro's speed was a top-notch higher than these players, as he used a higher form of energy than them. In a moment, he managed to reach those fleeting groups of traitors from behind. 

His appearance in such a way made everyone guess his intentions, but Ibro was unstoppable. He used his divine ability to paralyze them while he moved with the utmost speed to put a stone in each one mouth. 

Those he couldn't reach weren't lucky as he used his divine ability again and again on them. Ibro didn't stop until he inserted his stones into each players' body then he waited patiently. 

He didn't act when few of them reappeared again with horror looks upon their faces. Ibro knew many players doubted him, so he needed to prove his supremacy in the most brutal way. 

In minutes, all players returned to stand frozen from fear. Ibro didn't care to their pleading eyes or their miserable looks, as they brought this calamity upon themselves by their arrogance. 

Without hesitation, Ibro activated the link between his alpha stone and their beta stones to crush them all in cold blood. 

He then didn't stop there as he moved back to Mory's group while the bodies of over 100 players fell like rocks to the ground behind his back. Once he reached the players he said calmly as if he did nothing:

"Let's start planning out what we should do with their universes."

Mory swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He suspected Ibro was strong, but he didn't feel any threat coming from him like now. This young man in front of him killed many strong players simply and without any guilt. 

This new king of his was kind and merciless at the same time, which made him fear Ibro more.

"We… We can distribute their territories to us."

Ibro looked to Mory as he hesitated. He wanted to have a foot for him there, but he didn't also want to be distracted by this parallel world. After all, this was a huge endless world like the one he was living at. 

He knew there were countless other universes there based on other forms of energies, so this world wasn't that unique. He didn't have the power now to invest in this parallel world, but he wanted to do this in the future. 

Mory misunderstood Ibro's silence, as he feared Ibro requested to kill all the players in these dead players' worlds. So, he added with haste:

"I may be rude here, but I want to suggest against any revenge on their worlds. the players there are innocent from these players' crimes."

Ibro felt surprised by Mory's words. What did he think of him? a maniac killer? Ibro sighed as he said:

"You take control of their worlds. I trust you so I will handle this task over to you."

Mory sighed in relief secretly while he replied:

"Thanks, king Ibro, for your benevolence. I'll make sure to rule these worlds fairly and won't mistreat any."

"I don't want them to be happy and live safely, I want them to be stronger and get used to the taste of battles against demons. This isn't only related to any of these worlds, it's also related to all of yours. 

The death free environment that you lived before is wrong. you saw how brutal your enemies are, and believe me, you didn't see the worse yet. Now, take these stones and spread them over to all of your players."

Ibro then gave Mory sufficient amounts of beta stones and waited patiently till they all returned. 

Their looks were unsightly as they knew their fate was now in the hands of Ibro. If he wanted, he could kill them on a whim. Ibro ignored their feelings and fear as he asked seriously:

"How many players do you have in your worlds?"

Mory was surprised by this question; he thought Ibro would be satisfied by controlling them. But he was wrong, Ibro wanted to control all their players without exception.

"Well, that's a hard question to answer, my king. We have many players in addition to the useless NPCs that roam all our universes without purpose. If you want, we can go back and try to get a rough figure about each of our worlds' population."

His words piqued Ibro's attention at once. He nearly slapped himself on the face, how did he forget something like that? Every game world was full of NPCs, who were old players from destroyed worlds by demons. 

It was pretty easier and safer to make them join his forces, especially when their numbers were big and their strength was decent. Ibro changed his plans at once as he said:

"Sure, I will wait for you to bring me the numbers later. When you go back to your universes, spread the word to all the NPCs that you might find. 

Tell them this message: Come and join king Ibro and your seeds will be killed by him and you will be able to level up again in the future."

Mory looked with confusion as he didn't fully get what Ibro meant, while Ibro added with impatience:

"Just deliver the message, they will understand it. Anyway, we wasted a lot of time here. Go back now and continue liberating your universes. 

I will continue to send armies towards your worlds till all demons will be defeated. After that, we can continue talking again."
