Chapter 224: War Across Time

The human kingdoms watched in amazement as the two 'guests' were brought in. Kyros had sneaked back after informing his family of the plans and what to say. 

With the Temple down, even their Message talismans could not be restored and were drained of power even though it could work when sending a message from the Golem City to the land of the lizard.

Because of this, Kyros informed his family of their plan and then sneaked back to Gojirrah and Reptilia.

After this, the two Champions revealed themselves to the humans and called on their saviors, Branze and Aron Steele.

The beauty of Reptilia was like a gateway drug into the Scalies world for most of these humans. The entrancing beauty amazed Mezal and the rest of the Steele family even though they were strictly instructed not to look stunned by her arrival since going by the planned narrative. This Steele family accompanied Branze and Mezal.

Gojirrah and Reptilia even showcased their Force that challenged and made the Captains retreat.

"Son!" Branze ran and hugged Kyros, who was in between the group.

"Sword Expert Branze Steele! We meet again! Your son is amazing! He is quite cunning and allowed us to escape the Commander!" Gojirrah spoke in the human tongue.

"Commander?! There is a Commander here?!" Ordeus was horrified.

"Just how big is this underground region?!" Ordeus asked. It was impossible to create a Commander without enough lifeforms and creatures to become food and the energy source to create such a powerhouse. 

Even in the Human Kingdoms of the Lowlands, very few have a Commander. And these Commanders received the greatest benefits.

"Branze. I am here to tell you that this place is changing. Has anything happened to your world? To the world outside?"

"The world outside? Nothing much has changed."

"Then I don't understand! The worlds are colliding, but it seems like it has combined into one! When you met us, we told you that we came from a portal, remember? Now that region is gone! What once was a portal was a connection to the previous world we were that I told you about!"

"Father. I saw it too! It wasn't just the caverns of the cave. The scenery changed. The underground cave became a large open sky!"

"We saw that we were back to that world again." Reptilia explained.

"That world?" Ordeus asked.

"Champion Lizardkins. Please be clear with your explanation! Is there a Commander-level threat down here?!" Ordeus asked. 

"This underground region was originally a connected to a portal to another world. We came from a faraway world and were sent on a mission to retrieve resources from a small world that our spellcasters found. And it is in that world that we have lived in for several years. But then, a certain portal opened, and we were caught in the changes and was brought here several months back. We saw that several Necromancers were here. Thankfully, the underground region here was quite big that we managed to survive for several months, and then we met with you, Steele Family."

"Right. We were chasing that vampire who was trying to get inside this place for some odd reason. Unfortunately, there were human traitors in this part of the world that tried to kill us when we found out about those vampires, but luckily you were there to help us escape until we were forced to split up." Branze answered.

"We planned to hide in our former hiding place, but as we returned, we found that the cave that once continued endlessly in the dark suddenly opened, and we were in that world again!"

"Wait! I don't understand. You just found an exit, and it led to another world?" Ordeus asked again.

"Yes! That's why we asked if anything happened to the path that you claimed led up this mountain." 

"Nothing changed. One of our messengers just arrived." Another Champion voiced up.

"I can confirm this as well. I am using the sight of my eagle to observe." Champion Faye added.l

"Then things just got strange. When we were escaping, we found ourselves back in that world, and Kyros was captured." 

"Kyros?!" Branze shouted.

"I was. But I managed to escape. I was able to talk to a few of the prisoners there, and they also were from different worlds. They said that the portals here are being opened. It talked about how this place was supposed to link worlds to aid in a war long ago. And the one that made the portals were beings known as Eldrich."

"Eldrich!?" Mezal and Ordeus exclaimed.

"Them again!?" Mezal cursed.

"They want to reclaim their lost power! We have to report this!"

"Champion Ordeus. Things are not looking good. My scouts have just arrived, and the report he gave was shocking." The other champion spoke to Ordeus.

"A Message Array had been activated, and word arrived in our kingdom. We used our fastest eagles to send the message. But not... war is happening. The plot that we suspected is true. The Summit of Kingdoms revealed how and Eldrich has been working with the Dark Shine Kingdom kingdom. The Princess of the Planeworld was there, and she fought against the Princess of Darkness."

"Princess Listrel fought with that Grendelor Lea?" Ordeus was amazed.

Kyros and his family looked at each other in surprise.

"What happened?" Calaminus asked secretly. He had pestered Kyros of his deduction after seeing the report, but sleepy Kyros blocked him off. By the time Kyros woke up, he had to meet his parents.

The champions began to discuss everything in the report, and Kyros communicated with Calaminus as the rest talked.

"I think it's the rewards of Fate. Fate and Destiny are fighting against each other. They are trying to outwit and outmatch each other. So our actions have led to situations that allowed Fate to kill those warriors. So that is why even though we didn't kill those two, we still received rewards from Fate." Kyros began.

Kyros reviewed the notification.

---

Warrior of Destiny Eldrich General Argos has been killed.

Rewards:

1% Gigantes Earth Core Energy restored.

---

Warrior of Destiny Necromancer Xilen has been killed.

Rewards:

1% Gigantes Earth Core Energy restored.

---

"Eldrich General... I never met him. But a General had died?" Kyros wondered.

"I remember that name. He was one of the Generals I avoided when trying to meet you! He is an Eldrich Wizard that was a Time magic expert! He was one of the few mortals that could sense me. But that doesn't make sense. That man only became a General before you died! Was he a general before who got demoted and promoted again? But that doesn't make sense." Calaminus frowned.

"Wait... It means that Argos isn't a General yet! but he will be!"

"What?"

"Fate is rewarding me for killing a future general! That's it! The war between Fate is Destiny is a war across time!"
