9 Homes

With a an transparent aura erupting from Nodus , he gently extended his right arm forward and pointed his finger toward the ceiling. The thick ray of light curved upwards and easily penetrated the stone ceiling. After a few seconds , the light disappeared and dirt started to fall from the top as the thin layer of the surface collapse , making the dome was brighter than usual , the hole on the ceiling was the size of two grown elephant and it stretched all the way to the surface , leaving a view of the dark sky with shiny stars.

"Im...Impossible...not even an early supreme magician could deflect the Earthly Holy Light like that...much less an warrior.." After his exhausted speech , the turtle collapsed onto the ground , as his vision blurred , he faded away into a deep sleep and the last thing he saw was the young man in black holding a device that flashed a light on him. I see... I will fall here...I am sorry I could not bring us to a new home.

"97% Match - Variant - Emerald Fall Turtle Star" Hmmp those weaklings mutated these beast together to form their star beast huh... Unless it's another race helping them... Nodus shook his head , put the far fetched thoughts away and giggled with an evil grin on his face. "That means I am still in their universe , I will make this world my entire base and destroy them from with it." The turtle beast reminded him of a miniature version of those giant moving fortress than sailed across the ocean , they carried cities on their back , they could also travel through time and space and with a force field strong enough , it could bring anything that could fit in it.

The turtles were practically moving fortress and Nodus would had to use his throne every single times to destroy those turtles. But now , within this world , he could create an even better hybrid and the result could be limitless. This foreign planet was much more than he expected , the fire of the throne commander has been fully ignited. Seems like I need to get stronger while I am here. Without the throne , Nodus knew he was the weakest among all the commander from the empire , but he was also the youngest one with unlimited potential.

A normal beast and...I haven't found that white one yet. After scanning the furry bear , he opened his map and consumed 1% , leaving him with 29% left on his wrist watch. After the new map was quickly drawn , Nodus saw around 10 more yellow nodes around the dome , with one right behind him. Nodus flinched and quickly turned around as the his transparent qi filled the entire dome to only find a white kitten with tiny black dots all over it's fur. The tiny leopard was height reached close to his knee while the length was around his entire arm , it was like a medium size dog. Nodus lifted his hand toward the leopard and all he saw was clear black eyes that was reflecting the stars in the sky.

He slowly bend down to pat the tiny leopard. " Go fetch your mother" The little leopard slowly ran toward a tunnel and quickly returned. With the mother leopard following beside her cub , she timidly stood in front of Nodus as she lowered her sight down to the ground. "Tell me , why were you at that snow mountain beside the village." Nodus noticed that the trail that lead toward the snow mountain was almost as new compared to the one leading to the cave , it must meant she traveled back and forth on the same day. The big leopard slowly lift her head as she sat down and pointed at his wrist with her nose. " This is the reason? " The leopard nodded but Nodus was still confuse , suddenly the little cub jump who was beside it's mother jumped on his shoulder. "Mom says , she felt a familiar scent when she went back home to pick up some food she hid for me." Nodus tilted his head in surprise as he heard a child voice in his mind. " I thought only high rank monsters were able to use telepathy , but you are too weak."

Nodus who encountered many thing did not feel weird as he explored countless of different planets with his ship. "Boss?" As Nodus was searching through his memory for special type feline , he was awoken to a cute curious face of the little leopard. " What boss ? and what is your name?" The little cub replied with a surprise expression "Of course you are my boss! You can beat those 3 fellows and I am your number one follower , Shishi!" A quiet chuckle could be heard from Nodus who still have his normal uncaring expression on."Boss! What's wrong!?" "Nothing Shishi , ask your mom what scent she is talking about and how is it related to my bracelet?"

After a quick glance at each other , the little cub replied in a confused manner. "She said it's not a smelling way , but a feeling way , like something familiar touched her skin , I also felt it a seconds ago after boss beat old green" Nodus lifted his arm and started at the felines. "Z1 ,Release energy wave , output 0.001%" A tiny pink crimson colored glow came out from the watch and the cub quickly jumped back on the young man shoulder. With a drools coming out from his mouth "Smell so good...Boss.. Can I eat it ???" With a nod from Nodus , Shishi ran across his lifted arm and began to breath in air like a vacuum with his mouth. The crimson energy quickly flew into the leopard mouth , quickly hasten the energy consumption.

Without any sight of worry , Nodus let the number go down until it reached 10% before he told Z1 to stop the wave. Nodus could feel the slight weight gain from Shishi as she glowed slightly in pink. "Boss..That was delicious and I feel a little bit stronger!! Do you have any more ??" Shishi was rubbing his face onto Nodus as he begs for more with a cute expression . This cat ate pure energy like nothing..19% could power an entire medium sized city for 9 years... Looking at the cute leopard on his shoulder "I need to keep some for myself , but in the future , I can feed you with even tastier energy" Shishi jump on the floor in joy. "Yay tasty energy ~ Tasty energy!" Looking at the mother , Nodus asked if she could feed on energy , she shook her head and looked happily at her child. With possible plans for the future , Nodus decided to set it aside for now and focus on his White Jade to create a foundation before anything else.

"If you want to come with me you have to be follow my orders , understood? " Upon hearing the young man's word the two leopards showed a happy expression , the mother rubbed her face on him while the cub was licking his cheek. This should be fine...It will be like before , just bigger cats this times.After a few petting , Nodus walked toward the table to scan the skull in the middle before he would return back to the hut. Feeling that these beast simply wanted to capture him , Nodus decided to let them keep their life , as he was left the cave , Shishi explained everything to him about their situation.

The turtle , bear and lion were called the elders , their ancestor formed a mixed tribe together in the old days and built their village on the top of the mountain , the Forever Summer Mountain. In the past , the mountain did not existed , it was simply just a small volcano , but after a intense fight between two ancient red-scaled dragon 10 000 years ago , they both somehow perished and felt into the pit of the volcano. The lava of the volcano turned bright red and transformed into Forever Summer Mountain in less than 10 years. After countless of battles and disputes for the dragon remains , they finally realized in the end that they could not even approach the lava of the volcano. It was said in the legends that the magma could instantly evaporate heavenly ranked beings and with the lack of treasures , the constant wave of intense heat during the summer , the cultivators gave up on building a city and living here.

But for the magic beast , the surge of heat released within the volcano only made them feel slightly hotter and without any other races , it was a dream land. With many tribes and alliances being destroyed by the constant new invaders , most of the magic beast gave up living in a place where they could get killed in the middle of the night by invading tribes that wants to take over the mountain and after thousands of years had passed , the dream land became a nightmare for who ever lived on the mountain and the past ancestor of the mixed tribe was one of the few that remained on the mountain , thriving to make it into a peaceful city where everyone could come and go as they pleased. As the old ancestor passed away , a new group of invader arrived , it was a flock of flying magic beast that could call upon lightning to strike their enemies and they defeated Big Green , the current leader of the tribe. After Big Green recovered his strength he went and sought help from his old friends , the furry bear , Eldo and the Lion with a snake head , Khaarin. The defender , attacker and brain merged together as they planned a sneaker attack sooner or later on the top valley through the secret passage that was at the end of the dome.

Walking out from the mountain , Nodus decided to scavage the nodes that were slightly under the surface of the earth. With the help of Shishi and Sasha , the mom , Nodus quickly gathered a decent amount of minerals to restore his energy back to 25% but he gave Sishi 5% for his work , leaving him with 20% left. Before stepping out of the mountain , Nodus looked at Shishi who had a concerned expression on his shoulder and asked. "When I get the opportunity , I'll reclaim the mountain for your tribe , so , eat and sleep without any worries" Shishi smiled and licked his face while Sasha gently bit the back of his shirt and flung Nodus onto her back. "Back to the snowy mountain." Said Nodus as he caressed Sasha's neck.
