I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse



The hole that my digging team took long hours and days to dig was now getting expanded fast! But my fire was pushed slightly back. After all, the cave was filled with this weird energy for a long time to create a strong pushing force.

Yet that all didn't do anything to me. With my chariot, with my gears, I could easily stand there in the middle of all this hell, without suffering a single loss, and even see clearly through all this.

And then I controlled my chariot and headed into the cave for the first time ever.

When I arrived there, I saw a grand space, filled with lots of bubbles at the bottom, and many pillars rising up from the ground in different heights. All of these pillars ended with balls that emitted the same kind of energy that tried to get out from here.

Seeing this made me realise that whatever method these enemies used, it was related and depended entirely on these pillars. Taking them down might not affect the current energy inside the cave, but would stop making any new ones to replenish the lost energy.

"You…" but just before I'd move a muscle, or go towards these pillars, or even take out my fallen gods to take down these pillars, I saw something flashing in the middle of all this.

It was a portal, and from it someone came out, someone that I knew.

"Hahahaha! It seems I arrived just in time, hahahaha!"

In front of me, that despicable face of that annoying clone appeared in front of me. He came just out of a portal, seemingly teleporting here from a far away continent.

"Are you coming here to die? Oh I forgot, you are just a mere idiot clone, one that won't die, right?"

"I love to see that smug look on your face when I'm going to kill you," that clone smirked, as if he cornered me or something.

"Let me guess, in the future you came from I had to struggle to take down these bombs, right?" I already knew how these clone things worked. They came from different futures, where my actions resulted in different futures. At the same time, I knew it wasn't that simple.

If that jerk didn't send any clone to stop me, the future would be the same. But it seemed something out there in the future happened based on my actions here. And he didn't like what I did it seemed and sought to change it.

Despite all his efforts, he failed. Every time he tried to stop me, he ended up losing. Every single time he sent a clone, that clone ended up losing against me. And that meant the future these clones came from wasn't different, or at least nothing major changed.

The only thing that changed was for my tasks and missions to grow a bit difficult, nothing much. That clone kept trying to bring me trouble at such crucial moments. Just like now, I was this close from destroying the enemy's entire scheme about the bombs. And he just appeared to interrupt me.

I didn't doubt for even a second my ability to crush him, deal with the bombs and win this entire thing. But at what cost? Damn this bastard! If he was here with his real body, then things would be much different.

"Just tell me one thing… Who the hell are you?" I paused, looked at this weird face before adding, "you seem human to me. And that means you are one of my kingdom and people, one of my human race. What happened in the future so you have to come back like this? What made you send clones in such a crazy way to stop me? Did I do something wrong?"

"You… You are indeed quite daring!" my sudden words seemed to startle him, stir something deep down his soul or something. The look over his face told me how deeply enraged he was, how unsettled he was.

"Then tell me!" I said in a calm tone, "at least if you have something interesting and logical, I promise I'll take it into consideration."

"No point, no point in trying to talk to you," unlike what I expected, unlike the long and enraged words he'd throw at my face, he simply shook his head, in a hopeless way, "I tried, tried more than once to make you change your goddamn stubborn mind. But you still wanted to do it! No matter what losses the entire universe will suffer, no matter how hard we'll suffer, you still want to do it!"

"What exactly?" I asked, trying to get anything from this bastard's mouth. At least after all this unexplained enmity, I deserved to know why.

"You want… Damn! I can't believe I'm telling you this, the younger self of you…"

"Just spill it, my readers are growing impatient and bored of you already!"

"Fine! You wanted to destroy the entire cosmos, build a new one instead!"

"Me? Are you sure you aren't mistaking me with someone else?!!!" I was shocked by his words, "just look at me, I'm still struggling to make a place for me and my humans in the entire universe. And here you are, speaking about the entire cosmos!"

"Don't try to fool me, I won't mistake that damn pretty face of yours even if I met your baby self! You are going to rise, grow stronger like nothing the current you can even imagine."

"If that's true," my face changed, showing a serious look on it, "if what you are claiming happened, then I must have a good reason behind such a crazy decision."

"Damn you and your reasons! I'm telling you, your actions are going to kill endless people! Destroy endless races, and that's for what? Just? Cause? That's bullshit!"

"If you are telling me there is a reason behind my actions, a just one, a cause for what I'm going to do, then I won't stop at anything to do it!" I knew myself quite well. If there was some sort of logical reason behind such crazy actions, and I got the power to do what I wanted, then I'd do it!
