CHAPTER 26

John looked at the invitation and rejected it. He decided to be reborn in another world as it was boring. This world seems to be created to let the lords enjoy everything. John thought how should he enjoy as a lord. Developing his territory was too easy for him and there was no need to consider it a game. Playing with other lords might be interesting but not so much. He was always a king and he did not have to get the support of the world to live as a king. He did not need anything from the other lords as they were not strong enough.

John decided to accept the invitation he rejected and decided to go. He called on the robots and arranged vehicles and army and went to the celebration of the birthday of the daughter of the duke. John saw many lords on the way but most of them were shabby. John looked at then and passed by. John let his army stand outside the barrier and went inside with some soldiers. John did not care much and entered the city and went to the residence arranged for him.

John looked at the duchess and greeted her. He smiled and gave her the mithril jewelry as it was rare here. The duchess greeted him with a smile and he greeted them too. He sat at the side and others dare not make fun of him as he was one of the few lone kings. The king of the alliance of the northern realms came and all of them greeted him with a smiled. After the party was over, all the important lords went to the discussion and John joined them. There was another king other than him and two dukes by his side. John looked at them and found that they were the strongest ones. John looked at them and found that they were the strong.

After some pleasantries were exchanged, the main topic came up. King Rob said, "The elves and demons have formed an alliance."

John said, "Is that why the war was declared?"

Rob nodded, "They want to concentrate their power. If they cannot win, we will have to face them."

John said, "It is easy to fight against them."

Rob said, "How about you join the alliance with a special position? Just so you know, we three together is enough to challenge you."

John said, "I can bring the lords to my side as I am strong. You will not be able to win easily and I can destroy you easily."

Rob said, "It is your freedom to join or not but the war has to be fought. Either you sent an army, or you give us supplies for the warfare."

John stood and said, "I thought that you fools were interested I trying to bring me to your side. It seems that sitting on the throne for a long period of time has made you muddle-headed. If war is what you want, war is what you will have."

Duke Jason said, "We need the resources. The war would let them have more resources and it will help as a training for us. You are the one who went berserk and killed all the lords. We have to face the army ourselves without a buffer. What do you expect us to do?"

John said, "I will force the slaves to fight. Wouldn't it be better in that manner! Even without the slaves, my power is stronger than anyone here. If you want my help, you can ask for it."

Rob said, "If you do not support us, we will let the army be led to your territory."

John smiled and said, "You can try."

Rob unsheathed his sword and so did all the men around him. Duke Borg took his sword and pointed at the king. He said, "My rules in my house." The king and the others sheathed their swords. Borg looked at John and asked, "Your military power is strong enough to face one of the race alone as long as it was not consumed in the war. How about I join under your alliance."

John said, "Sure. You can shift your territory to near to that of mine. You can bring as many lords as you want under you."

Borg shifted his territory without thinking anymore. He was a man who understood the times and he wanted to draw a clear line between him and the former kingdom. He stood beside John and Rob and Jason left with their men in anger. John looked at both of them and killed them with a single shot. The two floating knives entered their bodies and destroyed their bodies and mind. All the soldiers who wanted to take the revenge disintegrated into basic particles of the universe. John said to Borg, "Make yourself safe. The most fragile part of your dukedom is you."

Borg nodded. No one had used the decapitation tactic as the death of each lord meant the death of the population and resources. It would be better to let them live and pay amnesty.

John went and returned to the party and all the nobles looked at him with fear and respect. He sat at the side and kept eating the food. He looked at them and sighed. It was getting boring. It would be more interesting if he limited his power to a limit and then play with the world. It seemed a good idea to him but he did not like to limit himself. Innate gods are the ones who are born with absolute freedom. Limiting his power was like choking him.

John found that some innate being was searching for him. He got out of his realm and stood in the chaos. He found that the being was another concept god who had not broken through the chaos realm. He found the void and looked down on the innate being. He found that the innate being was the concept god of space. He looked at him and the person spoke, "I am the concept god of space. I am Torrent Space."

John said, "Hello. I am John Metal."

Torrent said, "I am the god of space and would like to create a fun world as the world is boring. Would you like to come and play?"

John asked, "What do you want?"

Torrent said, "I can connect to other worlds and other realms as long as you allow it. I can create a realm specific to this activity and each of us will take a role. We will play within the character. There are no limitation and since we are all gods, the game would be something akin to letting us select a tribe and then letting them try and become stronger. The world will be a free world and we can develop our believers ourselves."

John said, "What do you want in return?"

Torrent said, "Twelve standard multiverse equivalent liquid controllable metal."

John said, "Let me ask you something. How far have you developed your powers?"

Torrent proudly said, "I can create a storage space, I can control, manipulate and destroy space. I can travel to other worlds."

John understood that he has not reached the understanding stage and neither the mixing stage. He could just use the concept of space to create space metal and items with the quality of space. It seems that he was not worthy. John said, "I have no interest in it."

Torrent said, "Why?"

John said, "Try to grow up before playing the game. The common sense between innate gods is that we should not meet each other. I also think that this idea is good."

Torrent said, "That is foolishness. We can have unlimited resources. Why should we fight?"

John said "You can see the unhidden news when you reach the chaos god stage. The concept god of evil and good is still fighting as they talked to each other and could not accept each other's ideas. During one of the conferences, the chaos god of food and another chaos god of food fell in love with the same women and they still fight over her corpse. You should understand the problem."

Torrent said, "We can bring some gods that do not have conflicting concepts. To avoid falling in love, we can choose a world with beings that are not like any of our innate body. We can bring some ants or smart aliens."

John said, "The conflict was not due to conflict of powers. No concept will ever conflict and no concept can be touched by other person. The problem is simple, they had different ideas. As long as they meet, they may have different ideas. One god of goodness would think it is the right thing to kill all the men and let women live happily while other may think that the gods should not interfere with mortals."

Torrent said, "How about a special coordinate universe. It is a singular expanding universe that has expanded and is alone in the void. A single concept god is allowed to be born every time and each one will build on the previous person's growth. They are born as the children of the royal family each time and by now they have immortalized the dynasty. Even the void gods fear the dynasty as they do not know when a chaos god will be reborn among them."

John said, "I have no such interest. Such world is only for the beings with absolute possibility of becoming a chaos god and for training their majesty. It is also possible that the person just wants to enjoy seeing the actions. Either way, I have no interest in such thing. You can find another god." 

Torrent said, "Fine. I will try to get some other god that will join me. Thank you for answering me."

John sighed and left. His actions were hidden as they could hide against everyone. John did not like such submissive concept god. He did not even have the majesty of the concept god. He resumed the time of the world. He was going to enjoy life in his world.
