Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

--

Studying the council laws of the Scarlet Dust Alliance might be the most boring and tedious thing he had to do.

There's too many walls of texts he needs to read, and while Cedric has never been a slow reader or learner, this still gives him a headache since he's expected to memorize all of this.

The thing about community laws is that they can become complicated in a blink of an eye. When one person's rights clash with another, it becomes a headache to point out who's right or wrong, and as someone who aspires to be a security officer, a glorified cop, Cedric was expected to make the most accurate decision at any given moment during his job.

He can avoid this truth to be told. If he wanted to, he could just do the bare minimum to pass this subject and forget about it altogether. But that's under the assumption that he would apply for a patroler position as soon as he graduated from here.

Those who go to the edge of the realm to be the first responders at the first sign of the void's invasion can escape the expectations of memorizing the community laws by heart. But of course, this poses an incredible risk to one's safety, as the void was unforgiving to any living beings, meaning that he could die at any given moment in his post.

If Cedric wanted to live within the safety and protection of the realm, then he'd have to apply for a position as a community officer. He'd have to learn and memorize the community laws and be thrown at the deep and murky politics of the alliance, which is another huge headache in itself.

So, it's pick your own poison in the end. Cedric has no middle ground here and couldn't afford to maintain complete neutrality, especially given the fact that he also wants to build a career here.

But Cedric isn't one to simply back down from a challenge just because he feels that it's too troublesome. He willingly came here expecting that he'd encounter some difficulties, meaning that he's ready to face them. Sure, memorizing the thick book containing all the community laws established by the Divine Council sounds like a headache, but he's still going to do it.

It would be better for him to know his laws rather than be caught off guard. For Cedric, there is nothing worse than him being caught unprepared for any situation.

It's a good thing that his sons were just too adorable for this world and could instantly relieve his stress. Just seeing them already makes his day infinitely better.

If somehow that's not enough, then his wives wouldn't mind accompanying him to take his mind of it.

Time passed, and soon, a year went by since he began training as a security officer.

This day was a special day for humanity; unfortunately, only a handful of people will know it since what made this day special was kept a secret to the public.

"So, we really don't have to do anything at all? Like, we could just stay still and mind our business and the transfer will happen?" Cedric asked, facing the group of movers.

"That's right, Sir. Rest assured, there will be no complications nor any accidents. We have taken everything under consideration and made sufficient preparations for it. Just tell us when we can begin."

Cedric couldn't help but be skeptical, but not intentionally at least. He couldn't help it; what's about to happen was truly a big deal. This concerns not only his people and his world, but the entire solar system.

However, despite his nervousness, he also knew that these people could be trusted. He went over their profiles and confirmed the legitimacy of their expertise. His identity as a trainee officer also pretty much guaranteed that there will be no scams or accidents here.

"Alright. You may begin." Cedric sighed as he made a decision.

The group of movers nodded eagerly at him and promptly disappeared. Cedric himself moved as well; after all, he has to guarantee that everything went according to his expectations. There could be no error here, or else somebody's going to face his wrath.

He remained close to Prime Earth, putting the entire planet under his protection; he even gave orders to his golems to be on alert too.

As for the people he was talking to earlier, they moved to the edges of Solaris Prime and began their work. Under Cedric's observation, he saw them laying down a massive formation that will encase the entire solar system into some kind of bubble.

He watched as each person moved with familiarity. It's as if they've been doing this their entire lives, which would make sense since these people have been in this job for longer than he's physically alive.

They worked fast too. It hasn't even been half of the day since they started, yet the formation was already done. Cedric saw a colorful aurora veiling the entire solar system once the formation was active.

Then he heard them going through several checks and protocols to ensure that everything was in place. They had an extensive check, making sure that not even a single rune was placed by mistake and that everything was working as it should be.

This check went on for an entire hour, and everything was accounted for. When they're done, their leader takes out a talisman, which he used to contact someone. Cedric guessed that it must be a one-way communication talisman since the leader didn't even bother waiting for a response.

There was no doubt that the message has been passed and acknowledged, though. Since mere moments after that, Cedric felt a massive spatial fluctuation enveloping the entire Solaris Prime.

Cedric took a deep breath and whispered, "Here we go."

He braced for it and went on full alert. There can't be any mistakes right now since this is the most important moment. He didn't interfere since there's no need to, but it's better to be alert.

Under his strict observation, the warp initiated. He suddenly felt the familiar sensation of being transported somewhere else through spatial travel. This sensation lasted for an entire minute before it stopped.

When Cedric scoured their new environment, he was flodded with relief since he discovered that everything went smoothly. There were no accidents or even a hiccup with the transfer. Everything went according to plan.

"Granitas, Rocky, you can stand down and go back to slumber," he ordered.

The golems nodded to him and returned from where they came from. Once they're gone, Cedric took a second to immerse himself in the new sensation that's blessing the entire Solaris Prime.

It was excellent. The quality and quantity of primordial energies he felt suddenly increased sharply as soon as the transfer was done. This change immediately began affecting the entire solar system as soon as it started. He could feel the density of concept laws rising with each second passed, and the advancement of everything was skyrocketing.

Yeah, everything's going to grow wildly from this point onward. And it's precisely because from now on, Solaris Prime is now within the Outer Circle of the Scarlet Dust Alliance's physical location. The transfer just now was precisely for this.

"We're done here, sir. If any problem arises within the next five years, please don't hesitate to contact our agency so we can attempt to remedy it." The leader of the movers spoke to him after the transfer was done.

"Mn, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your hard work."

The movers bowed to him before leaving. Of course, Cedric wouldn't let them leave just like that. Before they completely disappeared from his world, he gave them a small tip of 50 merit points each, with the leader receiving 100 merit points directly.

To Cedric, these were just a small change, but to these people, it's equivalent to their entire year's worth of salary.

They didn't expect to meet such a generous client today, and they're certainly not complaining. They all bowed to him in gratitude one final time before leaving him to deal with the aftermath of the transfer.

In truth, Cedric didn't have the mental capacity to care too much about them. He was thankful for their work, and he has already shown it by giving them a tip.

He's more focused on the changes that were happening to the Solaris Prime with each second that passed.

It's like a domino effect, and the changes were quick and visible. He knew that it would be like this since the quality of primordial energies within the alliance was several hundred times better than their previous location, but he didn't expect that all of this would be happening this quick.

There were so many things that were happening that he couldn't quite keep up.

"Cedric, I don't feel so good."

His heart nearly sank to his stomach as soon as he heard Acala saying this to him. In a flash, he appeared by her side and immediately inspected her condition. After doing a careful and complete scan, he sighed in relief and said,

"You're evolving."
