Master Of None

Chapter 2231: 2232. Welcome To Genesis

The progress made cleaning up the homes and the damage from the ice was substantial. It had barely taken a full day with the assistance of the pure ice demons clearing the ice that built up. Not to mention the additional soldiers that came to clean along with various builders already on the island.

This was what led Walker to bring the, now thirty, pure ice demons. It seemed that Aie, the strongest, was not as well versed in their surviving numbers as Walker had expected. But it was easily explained that some of their people had not even bothered leaving their icy homes because they preferred to gather the mana.

This was just the level of their growth and how they lived. Some times they would go months without seeing another of their kind. There were even tales of the longest meditating pure ice demons appearing and finding that their entire village had moved without them.

While this seemed odd to Walker, he felt it was similar to the dragons who could mediate or slumber for even years at times. Judging the pure ice demons in the same way would be foolish since this was just the way their people worked. Changing their culture was not his goal.

"I gathered all of you here because we are heading to Genesis through this elemental tune element rune formation. It is always hard to handle the first teleportation but you will get used to it." The usage of space mana was shocking to the pure ice demons. They had ever been able to witness it but they had heard of it.

The space elemental planes were very rare and those that spoke about them would talk about how those within them could be anywhere and everywhere at the same time. A terrifying ideas in the least. This shaped an awe struck feeling when it came to the tales and the existence of those that could wield such mana.

"Once there, you will be surrounded by guards. We will escort all of you to the Genesis building. Aie will act as your race's representative. You will register while she is brought to the meeting with all the other race's representatives. From there, you will then learn more from her as she will remain your representative until she chooses someone to succeed her one day."

A lot of this was not fully understood because they had never seen Genesis and didn't know the benefits or values that came with all this. However, they believed that multiple races might apply to what they were seeing here.

The soldiers and the people that made up the village on the island were not all the same. They also clearly had different affinities and were not trapped within one singular elemental plane. To them, this was an odd place.

Rumors and stories of the world being a place where manas naturally balanced were proven entirely correct. Now that the pure ice demons saw it, they wondered if this place was some sort of mystical heaven. To be fair, they also could tell that they didn't need to worry about the pressure of incredibly dense water mana.

Their blessing of having very high water affinity was also their double edge sword of risk. They lost their minds if they did not control it enough. Therefore, they all learned that they had to grow mentally tough to handle it. If they failed even once, they would lose it all.

Everyone gathered closer together as Walker added the space mana he could control to the rune formation. He didn't need to do this for normal groups, but since this rune formation needed improvements and he wanted the entire group to appear at once, he gave a push.

He also saw the rest of the party waving since they were able to spend some time handling the island while he was the one working. He was sure that they would brag later so he made a mental note to steal some of their dessert from dinner later. It would be his grand evil plan.

Besides his thoughts, the group he was leading appeared in Genesis surprised by armored guards. They were not in battle stances but proved the power of this place. Meanwhile, the pure ice demons were stunned again.

The many buildings and large number of people were all together shocking. They had never imagined a place like this. They could even feel the various changes in mana as it interacted and flowed. An incredible feeling of energy and health radiated from every corner!

"Let's keep focus. We are following now!" Aie broke them all from their wonder. She was leading them behind Walker while the guards kept them all safe.

They couldn't help but get caught up as scents of food made their way through the streets. The pure ice demons also drew a lot of attention from the public who wondered what was happening to have some streets blocked off.

It quickly turned in to a large rumor and constant gossip. A new race appeared right after warnings of a potential enemy. Was the enemy these people, or were they a new group brought from the elemental planes to be allies?

Lucky for the public, a brave kid rushed through the guards and managed to appear in front of Walker. "Hero! What are they!? Who are they? Are they joining us? Can we be friends? What should-"

"Calm down, calm down. You were too full of energy that you didn't even think there might be some danger." Walker lifted the boy up with a little wind mana. "If I were to go tell your race's leader that his little goblins are rushing through the streets and potentially in to danger, what would he say?"

The teasing made the boy's face go a little shade of pale green. "But, you can be the first to know. Today, the pure ice demons hunted a monster that tried to sneak through the bridge to the elemental planes. As such, I have brought them to join the Genesis alliance and they will most likely make a home in the water territories. They should get along well with the water dragons."

Wanting to have a little control over the gossip wasn't a bad thing. Walker knew that the young goblin boy wouldn't be able to hide his excitement. Goblins were born of unique methods and they were adapting to being a proper race now which changed a great deal for them. So, being able to rush around and share a little gossip like this as they grew very quickly would most likely guide this child's class and future. Who knew what he would become.

"Is this normal for him?" Aie was unsure whether this was how all origin beings acted.

"You're their leader? I'm one of the guard captains. I can tell what you are thinking, but Walker is one of the heroes. He doesn't care about status or anything like different racial biases. He cares about peaceful growth and bringing everyone together more and more. Give him respect, and he will give you respect. Ask for help, and he will guide you to where you can get that help. Just accept the impossible when you are around him."

Aie wondered just what had happened for people to have a grand view of Walker like this. She kept walking ahead though. Her thoughts didn't stop her from being caught by awe when she saw the Genesis building or when she saw the large amount of people waiting to help the pure ice demons register their identities.

"Follow me, we will meet the Genesis council. Every single race is represented there. We all can explain things to you and we will take the time needed, so ask any questions you have. It won't be all said and done today, but we can handle things as they come. At the very least, today, your people will have a safer home."

The warmth in Walker's tone made Aie realize that no matter what happened, she felt trust. Not the sort of trust that came from those who promised it out loud. This was the kind of trust that came from an absolute power. A promise from someone who had upheld their words over and over without doubt in themselves for their goals.

"I understand. I look forward to meeting them."

This was what Aie said, but when she appeared within the Council room, she felt a great deal of intimidation. The power that all of the leaders of their races had was grand. Almost suffocating. Yet, they were all looking at her, especially the demon race's leader who immediately understood the similarities in their species.

The conversations could go on for hours, but everyone understood that the newest addition to Genesis was going to take some time to learn. But that wouldn't be an issue. They all saw the benefits in the pure ice demons joining them.
