Anastasia and Leona had no options to choose from to begin with, following Zick's order was the only way to survive.

'Rejection isn't an option. Zick was it? He has enough power to rule over a whole world....of course, we don't stand a chance against such a person.' Anastasia felt horrible internally.

They could not even begin to fathom Zick's current strength, who was a god-like entity. Even his subordinate was not ordinary, from the being they met before, Yuriel.

"May I ask why?" Anastasia spoke in a subservient tone, as much as she could.

"Because you have certain talents, a talent that not many have," Zick answered immediately.

Zick's voice was calm, however, it put a sense of pressure on both of their minds.

Leona lifted her hand, showing her will to ask a question. All of a sudden, she felt like she had gone back to her academic days when she had to lift her hand to ask any question to the teacher.

Zick nodded his head toward her, permitting her to speak.

"What kind of result are you expecting from us then, sir?" Leona spoke with no hesitation, but internally she was nervous too.

"Good question." Zick smiled plainly at her.

"What I want from you two is very simple. I want you to explore the dream realms of this world, and find new knowledge, incomparable to what I hold right at the moment." Zick's crystal clear eyes looked right into Leona's eyes, making her body feel spontaneous goosebumps.

The task assigned by Zick was just too hard, at least for the two people who were ordered to complete it. They were in a new world, they had to begin from scratch, but now they had to find something that even the people of this world couldn't find.

'Isn't that too much?' Even Varine thought it to be so. She did not point out her opinion though. She knew that her persuasion would not change Zick's decision at all.

"I see, we will....do our best sir." They could not bring themselves to resist Zick at all, hence accepting the task with a grudgeful mind.

Leona was interested In exploring this new world, so she was not too much against doing what Zick told her.

Actually thinking about it for a second, accepting Zick's offer brought many benefits to them. They were just vagrants on the run in the Igmorous world after all the alchemist towers were destroyed.

However now, they would at least hold some kind of position in this new world. Anastasia and Leona were the two people least affected by the destruction of their prior world. They did not have much connection to that world.

"Haha, did you think I will ask you to do something, without offering anything in return?" Zick laughed shamelessly.

'Is that not the case?' Anastasia felt puzzled internally, she felt it was normal for people with higher positions to dictate the life of the people with lower positions.

"You both can return to your room and rest for today. If you want to eat anything, just speak to the butler in the hall. I will give my present to everyone tomorrow when everyone has gathered." Zick dismissed them with not much interest.

Varrine and the cat were the only beings left to be dealt with. Zick turned his gaze to them with no change in expression.

"You don't seem that shaken by the fact that our world was destroyed." Zick smiled, speaking like a sociable person.

"That...I am sad but, I feel relieved that sir Zick and Miss Seveleen survived at least." Varine answered truthfully, her relationship with the others was not that close, she was not much of a sociable person, to begin with.

"Human...ahem, Lord god, what are you going to do with me then?" The cat asked while feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Zick waved his hand dismissively, "No need to worry, I have a role for you to play too. I know that you can't accept the power of this world."

The cat was a mythical beast, a being born in a different world, it was a rare being born from the convergence of the dark spirits.

With no spirit in this world, the cat could not show much of its true power. At least until world tree and elves races appeared that is.

Hearing Zick's words, The cat was interested in the task he would be assigned, so it asked away immediately.

"What is my role then?"

Zick eyes darted to him in amusement.

"To be the pet of my two daughters of course."

The moment Zick said that the air in the surrounding froze. Both of them were dumbfounded seeing Zick's attitude which screamed - 'Isn't that naturally what is supposed to happen?'

"Wait...You mean those two girls, ladies, were your daughters?! And now I have to be their pet?!" The cat had the intention to resist its fate, but the moment it looked at Zick's red eyes, such intentions were discarded like they never appeared.

"Hmm? Ah, you were not able to recognize them. Do you not remember the dragon eggs I got a long time ago?" Zick felt the cat's not so brilliant memory.

Remembering the small girl with silver hair, the cat felt the face merge with the beutiful woman who he met a few hours ago.

Varine heard their conversation with her signature blank face. She felt a sense of belonging looking at Zick's familiar attitude.

"Well, that aside, you should move to your rooms, and take a rest today too, you can ask anything from the butler in the hall here." Zick put a stop to this conversation.

Something had come up on the other side, on the real Zick's side.

.....

After finishing the dinner with Arianell and Aurel, Zick began moving to the trade port of the dragon clan, through the train services, which moved at a speed that broke the sound barrier.

Zick was not rich enough to use the teleportation facility here, well he could use it, but he deemed it to be a waste of material.

Unfortunately, it was banned to use space divinity within the dragon clan's main capital. Therefore, Zixk could not use Arianell's power.

Everything could be bought in this capital, as long as there were enough merit points.

'With the amount I have, I don't think it's impossible to exchange it for a mid-grade world core.'

Zick sat in the private room on the train, considering the suspicious points in the past.

First off, the dragon lord's existence seems just too suspicious. Many things regarding it were veiled in a thick layer of mist, no matter how looked upon it, Zick could not find any lead to find out what happened in the past.

'In the worst-case scenario, I might just be dancing upon the palm of the dragon lord. And if not, some other being is trying to cover up its existence.'

Zick was pulled out of his deep thought, hearing the announcement through the invisible speaker. The train had reached the central district, Zick's destination.

Getting off the train, which had facilities no different than the best hotel Zick had seen throughout his life, he moved toward the huge building, the trade port.

Feeling someone following him, Zick turned around immediately. But surprisingly, he found no one in the place, he had sensed the presence of the follower.

"...." Zick turned forward and moved on.

He did not feel anyone following him again after that.

Zick flew through the sky in a straight line, reaching his destination not long. Most of the people around him used a device named the rift, to travel around more efficiently.

These rifts came in many shapes, round, triangle, bird, half-moon, and many more. The rifts were exclusive items only found in the dragon clan capital.

It was very hard to buy these rifts, because of the advantage they brought while traveling, many sought them out. It could be used with any kind of divinity, and it boosted a minimum of around 30℅ in speed aspect.

'I should buy one before leaving, they can come in handy in battle.' Zick retracted his gaze, after taking a glance at the rifts, flying around him.

Arriving before the entrance of the huge building, Zick showed the permit of the dragon clan to the guards. This permit was given to him the moment he agreed to join the dragon clan.

There was a thing that troubled him for a while now. After joining the dragon clan, Zick had to be accepted as an apprentice by a supreme god. But he had yet to choose the supreme being he wanted to work below.

The time limit was one decade.

'There are six Supreme gods in total, in the dragon clan. I want to join the one that gives me the most benefits, I can only collect information about them for now.'

'I will go to them for an interview (?) and then see which one gives the highest benefits.' Zixk decided in his heart.

The moment Zick entered the trade port, what greeted him was an endless hall, which was buzzing with gods. Space expansion was applied to the hall it seems.

Arianell's eyes sparkled as she tried to unravel the working of this technique.
