Chapter 90: 90: Prospects of the Future
The sun was at its peak. The blazing sun's rays penetrated the gaps in the thick white clouds, casting its light below.
After resting for one hour at the peak of the last mountain. The members of the hunting party were ready to continue their adventure.
They are currently sorting out the content of their backpacks and double-checking their stuff.
Fushigiro closed his backpack and patted his sore thighs. His eyes landed on Fatty's bandaged thigh, then smiled at him.
"Well, since you are currently wounded and unable to walk. I'll carry you from now on this journey."
"Is that okay?" Fatty asked hesitantly.
Andre raised his hand, causing the other to look at him. "How about I carry him? Since he's our friend and I want to at least be off to you guys."
"That won't do..." Fushigiro shook his head readily and smiled. "Once we enter the Spider Town. The only we would do is to avoid fighting and run for our lives. You're not mobile enough to carry someone as heavy as Fatty. The minions of the spider queen would ravage you once they caught you."
'I'm not that heavy!' With a grimace, Fatty complained inwardly.
Andre nodded, saying he understood. After all, he didn't know how fast the minions of a Tier 8 Apokolip could move and he wasn't strong enough yet to maintain a decent speed while carrying Fatty.
"Plus, I can use Deka Step. So don't worry about him. I'll be the one to carry him." With his usual sunny smile, Fushigiro carries Fatty on his back.
Fatty looked at the back of the captain and felt assured. "Thanks, captain!" With such a strong man carrying him, he didn't need to worry about his safety. He was still stressing how he would survive with his condition. He didn't expect the captain would propose himself to carry him. Such a good captain.
Suddenly, felt a weird sensation in his stomach. He felt nauseous... 'Damn it! It seems I overate again!'
"Don't fret about it. As the captain of the team. I must at least protect you children. After all, the younger generations are the future." Fushigiro let out a soft chuckle.
"Captain is right. The younger generation is the future. You just need to hold tight along the way and make sure that you don't fall." Jin smiled.
Caleb, on the other hand, smiled at this. At least, his teammates aren't unreliable. They are elite hunters who have ample experience. Jin, who was like a walking encyclopedia and a good thinker. Fushigiro, a formidable fight that could go toe to toe with Tier 9 Apokalips, even those speed-types as long as it wasn't a second variation. Rina, a good swordswoman and also good at fighting. The goofy Dunn, who was agile as a monkey and as accurate as a hawk. He acts like a harmless uncle, but he possesses strength not weaker than Jin and their captain. Lastly, Tamasai... Strong, albeit unpredictable. In Caleb's evaluation up to now, he was the kind of person who would act according to his whims.
...
Just like that, their journey continued. Caleb carefully threaded and watched his steps as they began their march to the foot of the mountain. They passed steep ground and a sea of trees. Luckily, they haven't encountered any wild animals or Apokalips along the way. There's not even a trace of birds anywhere.
The surrounding trees change as they continue their pace. From green leaves, brown, yellow, to blue. From brown woods to gray to dark brown.
Caleb raised his head and looked at the sunlight that was blocked by thousands of trees above him. He couldn't help but feel emotional. "How many days have I been in this world?" He said in a low voice that only he could hear.
Once upon a time, he was just a regular office worker. Well, with a part-time job as a killer. Then, by accident, he died in a landslide and was saved by a weird blue slime. Thinking of it, was it really a mere accident? At least, he didn't know... He was just glad that he was fucking alive. Now, he was a real eternal due to his infinite reincarnation and he could even travel and explore unknown infinite worlds. How exciting isn't it? He could even bring the powers he gained even if gets reincarnated. It would not be long before he could surpass the gods and deities in various mythologies in his past life.
He has the potential to become the strongest transmigrator to ever exist since he could exist eternally and fuse the power systems of other worlds! Even if he doesn't do it, he might get reincarnated on creatures with powerful bloodlines in the future. Wouldn't that make him have every bloodline in existence as long as he continues to reincarnate? After all, in front of limitless time, a 1% possibility is equivalent to 100%! He just needs to be patient and he might become a half-vampire, half-god, half-angel, half-demon, half-phoenix, etc... In the future. In simple terms, a fucking hybrid of abomination. A virus in the Omniverse or every verse that shouldn't have existed!
'Damn... Thinking about it now. I can obtain all bloodlines in existence. Not only that, a damn hybrid who could use all forms of power and energy! Not to mention, he would gain all sorts of knowledge. As they say, knowledge is power! He didn't dare to ignore knowledge, as he knew that power without knowledge was just an empty vessel. Knowledge could create power, but power couldn't create knowledge.
How OP is that!? Unfortunately, that would be in the future. For now, he has to at least gain a foothold in this World of Destiny, so the next worlds would become easier. His goal is to survive and become a fucking Destiny!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hum. The prospects of the future were so bright that it almost blinded him. He knew that it was wrong to put the car before the horse, but he knew that it was only a matter of time. Caleb looked in front of him and saw Fatty's injured thigh and he was paler than before.
'That midget golem really did one to him.'
