Chapter 1539 The Merge Is Halfway Through

[He isn't capable! Not that dependable to do such a task! Not at such a crucial time!]

[He is the only one we got, the best if you want my opinion about it] she seemed to fully believe in her choice, and decided to support selecting the jumper, [Not to mention he is already there, in the heart of the enemy lands]

[He didn't retreat?]

[He refused, asked to remain there and he is still fighting the enemies at their homelands]

I paused for a second, feeling what this jerk did might be something good at the end.

I advised Lily to recall him and other forces at any enemy homelands when the merge would happen. The earlier plan was to leave him there. But it all changed when I learnt about the new worlds coming to merge here, after knowing that Earth was going here as well.

It seemed this jerk lost all association with Earth and humans, got totally fixed on finding and saving his dude.

What a jerk!

[Fine! But make it clear to that bad luck magnet, we aren't in any situation that will allow us to send any troops over to him]

[Well… I already contacted him before, and…]

I didn't like where this talk was going, [And what?]

[He was the one who asked to do this task in the first place]

[That jerk? No way! He won't do anything without expecting something back from it]

[Yes, he also spoke about something, about reinforcements that he needed]

[I told you already, we are running short on any troops right now. How come you are still saying his request and you know how dire our situation is?]

[I didn't say what kind of troops he asked for]

[Will that make a difference?]

[He wants you!]

[What the heck… Girl, I'm very busy worrying about that jerk!]

[No, you don't get it. He said you are going to come here eventually and hit the enemy where it hurts. So he decided to remain there, acting as our eyes out there, waiting for you to come to his rescue]

[I won't rescue that piece of sh*t!]

[But… He is the only dude out there to take care of this task. And any information we'll get, will eventually lead you towards him]

[In other words… I don't get a choice, that's what you want to say, right?]

[Well… You have to admit he isn't half bad, right?]

[He is an asshole! How come I let someone like him live for this long? I'm going to kill him once I meet him up]

[Hahahaha! In the end you are going to his rescue, hahahaha!]

[Stop laughing! This isn't funny!]

[He was right, he knows you more than anyone else like he said]

[He said that? For real?]

[He argued that he knew you better than any of us, and you won't have a choice and will come to save him out of your kind heart]

[I can be cold blooded jerk like him sometimes]

[Yes, go and argue with him about that, not with me, hahahaha!]

[Tsk! I'm going to close the chat. Go and gather valuable intel, and try to send out more spies out there]

[I will try, but I can't promise]

[Screw you!] I closed the chat while she kept sending laughing emojis that got on my nerves.

That damn jerk… That damn jumper… Did he think he could control my actions like this?

Who said I should go and find him? What obligation did I have to go and rescue him?

I knew he'd collect valuable intel. After all, that dude was a magnet for bad news. And for sure he might end up fighting the leaders of the enemies head on or something on the same level.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up strangled in the middle of the main enemy forces, or lost most of his troops and ran for his life in a hectic chase.

That dude… He was a jerk of bad news! I grew used and tired of such a thing already so it didn't surprise me at all.

[Don't forget to go and check over other stressful places. We need your help]

[Sure]

She seemed to get tired of teasing me, and feared that I might not step in to help as promised. After closing the chat again, I started to look around.

This world… It was still so magical to make me believe it was true! And the most amazing thing about it was that it was going to end up soon enough and fall in my hands.

I looked at this mesmerising peaceful sight for long minutes, took a long and deep breath, then went towards one of the portals around.

As long as I didn't go directly towards one of the enemy worlds, any portal here would be fine.

[Let them start establishing their portals once they gathered together] I paused, [I'm going to take a huge tour around through the old network]

[Do you want to get lost? To not be able to help that jerk?]

[Pray that will happen] I closed the chat with a big laugh. I didn't aim to do that to this jerk. However I was just trying out something just now.

I already passed through one portal, ending up in the middle of a new place that I never visited before. I appeared inside a big canyon, with huge mountains that lined the world on both sides.

I managed to jump and reach a new place in this new world. And so I wanted to test things out, see if this was going to work or not.

And the connection with her worked, meaning that this was indeed one new world, one world where we'd all get in contact with everyone without any problems.

The first thing I did was to let my chariot soar high in the sky and reach the clouds. It was a fantastic feeling, like I went back in time, for real this time, back for many years, even decades, before any of the apocalypse happened.
