My Space-Time System

Chapter 627  Crazy question

"Thank you, Lord Cassius." Emperor Thalorin said with sincerity as he bowed. After the events of today, the emperor saw Cassius in a new light.

Meanwhile, Blake, who had been observing the interaction between the two from the sidelines, was left shocked. He had never seen or imagined a God bowing to another God until today.

With that over, the communication link was cut, and a brief silence prevailed in the room for a while before Cassius spoke up.

"Now that's all over, let's start preparing you for your journey." Cassius turned his attention to Blake.

"The first part of this preparation is knowing what you would be dealing with." Cassius rhythmically tapped the armrest of his throne.

'The southern continent challenges people based on their power level, meaning it would actively spawn traps and phenomena at the power level of the challengers." Cassius explained. "Normally this shouldn't be an issue, but something that would cause trouble that might even spread past the coast of the continent."

After listening to this, Blake finally realized why they just didn't send a God to handle this.

"Now that is out of the way, I have to tell you that there are problems that would arise that not only you can solve." Cassius returned his focus to Blake.

No one was perfect, everyone had their weaknesses and strengths but in the presence of a team, they could balance their weaknesses.

Blake understood the reason behind Cassius's words and couldn't help but frown. After destroying their home, Luke wasn't sure how his friends felt towards him.

"With everything going on, I'm not sure if they would want to join me on the expedition." Blake shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.

"There is no harm in trying unless you want to team up with members of the league?" Cassius slightly chuckled while he asked.

'Not those crazy bastards.' Blake almost choked at the suggestion.

Although they were all capable, almost all members of the league had mental problems or just straight up evil characters.

"I agree." Blake nodded at the idea.

After getting the option of working with the members of the League, convincing his friends to join him in his journey didn't seem difficult anymore.

…

In Calton city, a yard away from the gate of his duplex, a spatial corridor opened and Blake stepped out. He stood outside and reminisced about his time here in the past.

He walked towards the gate only to find out it was unlocked. Giving it a gentle push, Blake watched as it swung wide open before walking in.

Taking gentle strides forward, he observed his vicinity and realized his traps had been disabled.

Swoosh!

Almost immediately the daggers strapped to his waist lit up, taking the form of Ebony and Ivory in their puppy forms.

"It has been a while." Blake said, unsure of how to feel about this place, especially since it came with a lot of good memories.

Woof!

Woof!

The duo barked loudly at his words and chased after Blake when they saw him walking into the building.

Clank!

Immediately the door swung open, Ebony and Ivory barked loudly as they ran into the house, vanishing from Blake's sight in mere seconds.

"I guess they are more excited than I am." Blake chuckled as he walked in.

Moving through the entrance, he stopped by a glass-laden door which led to the kitchen at the right.

As he walked inside, Blake admired the massive room partitioned into two. The kitchen countertop was positioned at the centre of the room, with the dining area with a six-chair dining table stationed next to the sliding glass walls.

Blake ran his index finger along the dusty dining table as he walked towards the glass doors to enjoy the sight a bit. He took a few seconds to enjoy the sight before leaving the room

Just as Blake walked into the living room, Ebony ran into the room, running in circles around the two three-seater sofas and a center table, all covered with cambricks.

Behind the sofas was a staircase leading to the next floor and to the left was a corridor which led to the guest room.

Blake only spared the corridor a glance before walking up the staircase.

Entering the top floor, Blake couldn't help but smile the moment he saw the king-sized bed. He was instantly reminded of the moments when Camilla and Tessie would laugh and chat with him about all sorts of things in this room.

The glass walls provided a beautiful scenery which made every second spent here more memorable.

'My time here wasn't that bad.' Blake admitted.

However, he was pulled out of his reverie by Ivory's barks coming from the forging room and at the left was the library.

Before he could decide whether to go in and check, Ivory walked out of the forging room, sneezing repeatedly while Ebony followed behind.

The two walked up to Blake, staring at him with their puppy eyes, both covered in dust and cobwebs.

"I guess I should clean up first." Blake chuckled at the scene.

With a snap of his finger, he used magic to clean up his home in a few seconds.

With Ebony and Ivory in his hands, Blake left the room and returned to the living room. He gently put Ebony and Ivory down on the sofa before he summoned his communication device and called his friends over.

"Let's hope it goes well." Blake let out a heavy sigh while he spoke.

He could only sit and play with Ebony and Ivory as he waited for them to come. An hour later or so, Blake's friends began to arrive, with Brian being the first.

Camilla and Tessie arrived not long after and the living room was nearly filled up.

Old friends sat together in an awkward silence between them for a while before Brian finally spoke up.

"So why did you call us here?" Brian asked.

His words diverted the attention of everyone in the room to Blake.

"Well, this may sound crazy." Blake chuckled strangely while scratching his hair nervously. "But, I want you guys to accompany me to the southern continent.

His words left Brian, Camilla, and Tessie totally confused and shocked, especially since this request was something they never expected to happen.

The southern continent was the only black zone on the map, and it was a place where people way stronger than them had visited but failed, and now Blake was asking them to go there with him.
