I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

"Your point?" Lily got interested in such conversation as she attentively waited for my answer.

"In any apocalypse, only six races are allowed," I slowly explained, "putting aside the Hescos, they should have five other races, not ten."

"That…"

"What do you mean?"

"They could have brought other races from their homelands, right?"

They started to tell different opinions and show various responses as I remained calm.

"That might be possible," the last one to speak out was that jerk, the big jerk, the jumper. And he had a point in what he said indeed, "but they might also have merged another world with theirs, and brought that world's race to their world."

"This…" even the jumper was taken aback by what he said, "can they do that?"

I forgot that they didn't know about the new rules about our apocalypse trial. "The Hescos added already three worlds here, and that made this overall contest's rules change…"

I started to explain what the new scorching ground rules were. When they understood what I said, the spearhead asked in much doubt:

"Does that mean they already controlled two worlds? How can this be?"

"If they wanted, they could pour endless resources and forces on these two worlds," I couldn't think of any other possible explanation than this, "and they can do it!"

This was the big difference between me and them. I got no backing or rich history, yet they had that. They could spend extravagantly and without any regret or even thinking about loss.

They weren't like me, always thinking and calculating about what I should and shouldn't do. If they wanted, they could spend what I'd spend in my entire life on a whim over these two worlds.

If they got an endless stream of warriors to help, lots of artefacts and treasures, mass destruction weapons and gears, they could easily control not only two worlds, but more if they wanted.

They could even not spend anything, and use their name and little wealth to buy the help of a few strong races in these two worlds and make them work with their forces out there to dominate the two worlds.

They could do many things I couldn't. And that was because they were the Hescos.

"So we have no way to stop them!" Alex weakly said, but I slowly shook my head.

"They plan to merge with more worlds while we are absent. So it's better if we went into the remaining worlds and got their plan foiled," I firmly said before adding, "they merged with one world. So we have five more to invade. Get the men ready, I'm going to open our portal right away!"

If they wanted to play this way, then I'd happily join them in such madness.

They wanted to take the two week period to merge with these worlds. If I let them have it their way, then I'd face a huge trouble at that final battle.

They had to be stopped. And that two weeks' duration wasn't just a buffer period for them alone. They could arrange things out, and I also could do the same.

[Sorry, but you can't gain access to this world] however the first ticket I used resulted in such a weird message. And then another one followed when I tried to access the same world again using the same ticket.

[This world is already under the process of merging. Estimate time for the merge to finish is: ten days! You can't gain access to that world until this period is over]

"First ticket led me to the final battle world, and the second ticket led me to the world they were merging with… What luck!" I inwardly sighed before using the same ticket to gain access to the third world.

[Sorry, but you can't gain access to this world]

[This world is already under the process of merging. Estimate time for the merge to finish is: ten days! You can't gain access to that world until this period is over]

But again I got the same messages in front of my eyes! I blinked twice, reread the content of the two messages over ten times to make sure I wasn't seeing things wrongly.

I checked the world I tried to access and became sure it was a third different world than the other two.

"Dammit!" This kept happening for the next two worlds as well. These damn Hescos managed to claim five worlds under their control, and were merging the five together!

Yet the last two worlds weren't under their control yet. "Get ready, send enough armies in these two worlds and let them barricade the damn portal zone. If they had to use a hundred armies out there then be it!"

I got frustrated over this. These Hescos were more brutal than I initially thought.

They managed to claim five different worlds under their banners. And they must be aiming for the last two as well.

I'd prefer to throw away a hundred army in return for preventing them from taking control over these two worlds. This might not be quite helping, but I hoped I'd use the same tactics they tried to use over me at these two worlds.

They got plans to merge seven worlds together it seemed. And that made losing two worlds for them inacceptable result.

So they'd try everything they had to crush my forces at these two worlds and claim total control over them. If that was the case, then it was better to use these two worlds to grind their formidable forces and allied races, greatly weakening their forces in the process.

My forces didn't need to attack except at the initial phase. Then all they got to do was to defend. If they built enough forts and traps out there, fortified the entire zones with forces, zombies, and even weapons from the research department, then it was possible to take away tons of the Hescos armies without losing too much.
