Chapter 1220: Cruel Slavery
-----
The Saurian King glared at his subjects and slaves, the many dinosaurs walking around the city and outside of the walls roared in unison before his might, as his powers surged, blue lightning coming from his hands.
"You are here to serve me till your last breath!" he roared. "Now work, and work harder, faster, and more efficiently… NOW!"
By rising his massive, muscular arms and his reptilian claws, an enormous surge of this electromagnetic energy emerged, spreading like chains of lightning around everyone's necks.
The people were rapidly electrocuted, screaming in agony as their dying bodies were being forced to move like puppets.
"Hm~ that's more like it," nodded the white-haired man at the tower, glancing with a pleased smile. "Show them your true power, Girgantes."
The slaves instantly began working harder, moving from one place to another, pushing themselves to their limits until their bones started breaking.
And even then, they continued working, their bodies even as they were being torn to shreds, were being forced to move and work.
This was the Saurian King's Neutonium Core Ability.
{Sinister Puppetry}!
As he glanced them work, he quickly requested the rest of his soldiers to do the same, forced to work just like the slaves anyways, he couldn't waste time.
If what that man said was right, then he didn't have that many days before the world would be destroyed.
The original humans would escape, and he would be left behind!
If he doesn't cooperate with them and earns his ticket to the stars, then he'll die all the same as all these other "pathetic" people he enslaved.
"WORK HARDER! MOVE! MOVE FASTER! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT MY TOOLS! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! YOU CANNOT ESCAPE, ACCEPT YOUR FATES AND WORK TO DEATH FOR ME!"
The people screamed internally as they were forced to move, although their face didn't show it, their eyes were despairing, everyone was crying, vomiting blood, dying.
Whatever hope they had of a revolution in the future faded away, they learned the King was simply going to kill all of them working for his damned pyramid!
"Why…!"
"Why is this happening to us?!"
"Damn bastard! If I could, I would tear his damn eyes apart!"
"My son… my daughter… they cannot take anymore… Stop… PLEASE STOP THIS!"
"It's useless… this is hopeless…!"
"We can't do anything, we're just garbage, we're nothing…"
"My mother died all for this damned pyramid… Why… just why?!"
"It hurts… someone help me…!"
They weren't even allowed to speak, all of them could only speak in their minds as they despaired, as they felt their bodies being torn to shreds while worked themselves to death.
"Bimbi…"
And one of them, a young woman with a body covered on scars, with a missing eye, looked at the sky for a brief moment.
"At least you… you managed to escape…"
Despite her despair, she couldn't help but feel a bit relieved, a bit happy while crying.
"At least you have to live, Bimbi!"
The King glanced at his subjects, growing impatient, sighing, and quickly deciding to take a flight around the jungle to inspect the perimeter.
Yet…
RUMBLE!
A huge tremor suddenly happened, as he noticed something coming here.
"Mutants? Dinosaurs, kill them."
He crossed his arms, and yet…
BOOOM!
An explosion happened out of nowhere, flames erupting from the northwest side of the walls, as he saw them collapsing down.
"What?!"
The Saurian King's eyes widened, as he noticed his mount going crazy, screaming and panicking, shaking him around.
"CRAAAH! CRAAAHH!"
"What's gotten into you, you beast?! Come here!"
He ended falling off the pterodactyl-like mutant, as the beast instantly flew away from his range and disappeared in the sky.
"This cannot be real, who's causing this commotion? A rival tribe? But I've taken down every tribe within this area!"
The Saurian King grew frustrated, gritting his sharp teeth as he infused energy into his body, rushing towards the walls.
At the same time, the mysterious white-haired young man glanced from afar, squinting his eyes.
"Hm? Looks like not everything will go as planned. Should I take what I originally came here for or wait?"
As he wondered that, the explosions continued spreading everywhere.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Due to the panicked state of the Saurian King, he let go of the control over the slaves and subjects, who dropped into the floor completely exhausted after almost finishing the pyramid in just half a day, some of them were at the brink of death.
"W-What's… happening?"
"Where did those explosions come from?"
"Ugh… I can't move my body…!"
"My daughter! No! Please don't die!"
"Aahh… W-What's going on?" the scarred young woman glanced into the distance, hoping for the worst so this entire thing could finally come down. "Is Bimbi there? Bimbi…! Is she alright?"
She slowly started crawling towards the walls…
"Dinosaurs! Attack!"
The Saurian King panicked, as he ordered all the Dinosaurs he had enslaved to attack!
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, hundreds of Dinosaurs from all around the jungle started rushing towards the area of attack, as he finally reached there with his sheer physical strength alone.
"WHO DARES ATTACK MY KINGDOM?!"
As he roared, he climbed over a gigantic tyrannosaurus rex-like mutant, who rushed forward by merging its aura with his own.
He glanced around, the smoke dissipated, revealing several gigantic figures, all of them very shiny under the sunlight and…
Made of metal.
"Metal…?! What is the meaning of this?!"
He glanced at a gigantic humanoid machine leading the attack, with an intimidating appearance, and the head of a roaring lion on its chest.
It had bulky arms and held a massive golden spear- no, two of them, in fact.
This robot was nobody else than…
"I am Braveblitz, defender of the unfortunate and weak, protector of the innocent and warrior of justice."
Blake spoke just like Braveblitz would have done, although not as dramatic, his voice was deathly serious, making it seem a bit awkward…
"What kind of bullshit is this?!"
