I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

I didn't need to tell Lily to focus mainly on the training grounds on the pocket world second layer, or the new world there. After all, it was much bigger than the entire surface area of the Second Earth world by many folds. And there was a hellish time difference there as well.

To make sure nothing wrong would happen, I sent a message over to Silverlining, to make him send the warriors here in this layer.

Then I started to establish another network of portals here, connecting this layer with the Second Earth surface layer. I connected the training zones here as well with the ones at the outer surface.

And like this, the entire worlds under my control were finally connected together.

Then I was finally ready to go and visit a very important place, the research department zone.

The research department was left in the central continent, the first and early place I visited in the underground layer of the pocket world.

It was before a tiny space, before it got transformed using one of my artefacts. They got their base beside the big lake, looking like a huge sea, and took this continent as the playground for their inventions.

But when I came back this time, I had to admit it… They did something great!

"These towering buildings… These facilities… They built a grand metropolis on the continent, taking almost all of its surface… Amazing!"

I appeared first in the central part of this place. I intended to go and find the big five, the leaders of this department, by asking someone here to inform them to come.

But when I arrived, I was surprised by the towering buildings and large facilities stretching all over the place, reaching the horizon line in every direction, and exceeding it.

I started to fly around, jump between places using my staff, and yet I didn't find an end to any of this.

They transformed the entire continent from stone age directly towards the space invasion era!

I saw flying ships, fast moving chariots and vehicles, at a speed that was no less than light speed! Damn! That was something… I didn't even imagine such a thing!

For a moment there, I imagined my kingdom being rebuilt, transformed like this place here. And just from this thought, I held a wide smile over my face.

The buildings here reached a staggering height of hundreds of metres, looking exactly like human ancient skyscrapers that spread all over Earth before the apocalypse era.

"What do you think? Amazing, right?"

Just as I was taking my tour around, I spotted five large chariots coming towards me at a fast speed. They flashed, looking like they teleported, and arrived soon at my side.

I saw five familiar faces, but they grew slightly older. The youths from the MIT institute changed and looked like real men and women.

They weren't alone, each accompanied by lots of people of different ages and origins, looking like they trusted and capable helpers.

"Damn! How long have I been away from here?!!!" I was shocked to see the touch of time on all of them.

"Lord, you went for many, many years," old Gan, who became much older, said with a laugh, "time here runs differently than other places you rule. So it's expected. And you also made many changes yourself."

He was referring to the changes in my body and physique. I knew everyone on my side must have such questions, but thanks to the stressful times we were having, none ever asked about this yet.

But unlike the deadly and life threatening war we were having out there in the new world, this bunch of scientists and great minds seemed like they were enjoying the time of their lives.

They gave me the same feeling as the jumps when I first barked in their world. But unlike the jumpers, I didn't feel any hostility or rage about this.

Instead, and for a reason, I felt immense pride!

I felt like a parent, watching my sons and daughters grow up, succeed in their lives, establish families, and live happily in front of my eyes.

It was the same kind of situation, but each harboured different reactions inside me. It was weird, and amazing at the same time how the same situations would evoke different responses at various circumstances.

"I got my lucky moments," I laughed in happiness, "just like yourselves."

"We got lots of new toys to show lord."

"We worked hard during that time, to impress the lord!"

It seemed the kids from the MIT institute grew in age, but not in personality or mind. They mistook my intentions and words, and looked as if they were defending themselves against accusations or something.

"You did great, I'm sure of that," I said in clear words so they wouldn't mistake my intentions again, "but now… We need all the great minds you have, all the wits and experience, everything you can give to work on a few things…"

I didn't say anymore, just simply took out the gear sets in my inventory and the Exomachines from my cube. The moment I took samples of these, the faces of everyone showed how much shocked they were.

"Lord… These… These…"

"Brilliant! It's like Christmas guys, hahahaha!"

"I want to study these… Hell! I want to make my own versions of them!"

Many exclaimed in surprise and excitement like I expected. And soon, everyone started to shout in the same vibe. They all looked at me, as if they were waiting for my approval or something.

"What are you looking at me for? Go on, don't be shy," I laughed, while waving my hands towards them, "go and take these new toys, study them, and make sure to make copies of ours. Ah, before I forget, you five come with me for a moment."

I already took enough samples for them to let an army of their engineers study these gear sets and Exomachines.
