Chapter 1000... Hooray!
"Lord got his hands over a large number of races from that universe, correct?"
"And?" I didn't comment on his words. That was indeed a fact, but I didn't get his point from sharing it.
"Lord keep them here and I'm sure you are thinking how to better use them in the future. You did this because they mattered to you, right?"
"And?" This was also a fact that didn't need me to comment or confirm. My curiosity and doubt grew by what he said. And they skyrocketed when he added:
"Lord did this because these races got something you need, everyone in our universe actually needs. But think in their stead for a moment. What you experienced here many, tons of warlords of the other universe experienced as well. They got our universe races as hostages over the long course of war…"
He paused, and I got what he was trying to say. What I had here, others had since the start of this war.
