Chapter 353: 353

Ibro knew his actions wouldn't cause any effect for the moment, but he would keep absorbing the demon gates without stopping. He didn't release his skeletons as he wanted to decrease the load over the city first. 

The system kept sending all the demons under Ibro's divine sense to his pocket world. After a few hours, Ibro discovered the gates he took were replaced with other gates. 

That was weird, this wasn't a tactic to take this city down, it was a tactic to surround him here and never let him leave. Ibro asked himself the most logical question: why?

'Come to me, we need to leave here and scout this world.'

Ibro connected with Maya's divine sense as he sent her this message. At the same time, he started to pour out his skeletons all around the place. 

All the areas around the city for over 50k kilometers were filled with demons without exception, so he couldn't find a suitable place to release his skeletons as usual. 

The skeletons summoned faced great threat from the huge amount of demons around them, but after a few minutes, they began to create a foothold. Ibro used it to release more skeletons. 

Maya appeared in no time to stand beside him. She observed him silently as he poured out the army after army of skeletons. 

She was observing everything under her divine sense, but she couldn't guess the intentions Ibro held by his sudden decision. 

The appearance of new gates replacing the ones Ibro absorbed was noticed by her, but she thought Ibro would start fighting back harder than before. 

She didn't expect Ibro to withdraw from here and start roaming the world. it didn't make any sense to her, but she kept her thoughts to herself while watching Ibro's actions. 

She feared to distract him by her questions, especially the face of Ibro looked so serious. After 10 hours of releasing skeletons, Ibro was content by the numbers of his armies. 

The skeletons he released exceeded the mark of 100 billion by far, which made them take control of a huge stretch of land. Inside this area, there were many clusters of demon gates that kept releasing demons. 

Ibro moved with Maya towards these gates as he absorbed them all. This time, he was sure the demons wouldn't be able to regenerate them again. 

He left the battlefield after he gave his instructions to the death kings and Gorsag back at the city via his divine sense. He ordered them to move slowly and take control of the area around the city with great patience. 

Ibro knows this battle would be so long, even if he managed to control the 50k territory around his city, his enemies would still summon more gates around this territory. 

There was a secret behind their weird actions, so the most appropriate move available to him now was to unveil this secret. 

Once he flipped the table over the demons and took advantage of this secret, they would abandon this city and might also leave this world.

"Let's go."

After he finished cleaning the territory controlled by his skeletons, he started to fly outside the range of this battlefield. Maya followed him as she asked her long-awaited question:

"Where are we heading to? And why are you leaving this battle like this?"

Ibro started to investigate the world after he crossed the demon gates zone as he replied:

"These demons are trying to shield us here. this is weird, so I decided to investigate it."

Maya thought for a moment before saying:

"I agree with you, this is weird. How do you plan to investigate then? The whole world is very big to scout it by two of us alone."

Ibro admitted she had a point here, so he asked:

"Do you have a suggestion?"

"Sure, I can use my cultivators and send them to scout the whole world. I have over 50 million flying cultivators. We can spread 1 million to the whole world. this way, we can know what is happening here in no time."

Ibro found it a good idea, so he didn't hesitate to agree by saying:

"Release them, we have to find out what's wrong in this world."

Maya then entered into Ibro's world, and then she started to summon her flying legion of cultivators. Ibro then moved all of them out of his world. 

The cultivators began to spread out rapidly to form a huge net covering all the places of the planet. They used their divine sense to communicate and cover huge areas with small effort. 

In no time, Maya began to receive reports about the status of this world. It was a game based world like the previous worlds they visited, but the issue here was the presence of something different… the cities here were controlled by players, not NPCs.

"Why do you feel this surprised?"

Ibro didn't reply at once, as his mind was thinking hard about this phenomenon. The presence of cities under the control of players meant only one thing, the players here had higher levels than NPCs. 

That led him to think about something else. The presence of all these demons around his only city here and the void of demons from everywhere in this world made him find the main issue.

"This world is the master world of this universe."

Maya didn't understand him, so she asked:

"What do you mean?"

"I mean this is the first world that started the game here in this universe. This world will be directly related to the game core."

Maya said in doubt:

"What's the importance of it though? Isn't every world connected to the game core?"

Ibro smiled as he was very excited. This was a chance, a chance to cause some trouble to the demon. If he was lucky, he would even stop the incoming reinforcements from entering this universe.

"This world is different, it's directly connected with the gate world. through here, we can go directly to the gate world and try to control it."

Maya didn't understand his intention yet, so he explained further:

"The gate world is the main door to this universe. Whoever controls it can control the door."

Maya's eyes shone brightly as she understood Ibro's meaning. She muttered:

"You intend to prevent the reinforcement from entering this universe."

"Exactly," Ibro replied with a big laugh. He didn't expect to find a way to the gate world this early. He had to adjust his plans immediately as he started to improvise.

"Tell your cultivators to start asking around. I need to find a way to the gate world as soon as possible."
