The tenth minute mark passed and only the upper part remained in the bodies of these noble emperors. The other half was already grinded into ugly mangled flesh.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The screams of anguish persisted but only 23 amongst the thousands of humans in attendance surrendered to their fate of being enslaved at this time.

​​

'I can't keep on doing this. Else they would all die before I could ever get to use them on the battlefield.' Our bored gamer shook his head in facing this difficult predicament.

In the end, Clark chose to let up a little and give a chance for these noble emperors to heal.

Once they recovered then he could always punish them for as long as he wanted until a time that they could see the futility of their resistance.

After all, our good gamer has all the time in the world to wait.

If these were not human heroes who fought bravely to defend their lands and people against the invasion of the monster race then Clark would have no second thoughts in killing a few of them in order to hasten their coming into his cause.

Alas, our avid gamer respected the bravery and sacrifice of these honorable men and women.

"What should we do, Jasmine?" Grand Master Azodus asked in a calm voice. Though this process of disintegration was indeed painful but this was nothing to peak existences like him.

The body was merely a shell and the true source of their power had always been inside this mortal cover.

Luckily enough, they were fortunate since our bored gamer has not wanted to forcefully break their souls and mark them as slaves in that way.

They could not have defended against such a technique and intrusion.

"I can't read him at all, Graham. I did not even foresee his advent into this war." Jasmine stated frankly. She was inside his fortress of cards and suffered the same fate as her comrades.

The cold floors touched her cheeks as an irresistible power ate away at her body.

But same as what Grand Master Azodus has done, she felt no pain at all amidst the extreme destruction that she was unto.

"I can't see any avenues of escape also." Jasmine added after a beat. She looked unto the smiling demon mask in the distance and tried to ascertain his identity.

Sadly, this route has borne her no fruits of hope whatsoever.

"Same here. Even my space magic does not avail me much in this condition."

"Makes one wonder why Gwen Landor, The Void Paragon of Northstar has easily done it earlier." The Grand Master said his suspicions at this time.

Though there were rumors around that Lady Gwen had reached the pinnacle of power as a True Immortal but Graham Azodus considered such claims as nothing but drunken talk by fools.

Even the strongest amongst them still have not found any way on how to break this tight barrier to reach the next level in their cultivation.

"Gwen Landor simply cannot betray us humans. She could not even hide from my eyes." Jasmine killed the grand master's assumptions before it could ever take root for long.

Thus, with no apparent solution to this tribulation, only the great screams of more than two hundred thousand noble emperors assailed the void over and over again.

Hours turned into more hours and our bored gamer remained patient through it all. He merely stood there in space as if he was waiting for something to happen.

Nevertheless, he was proactive in his inaction as he tried to make known his presence unto the farthest place he can at this time.

Like a fisherman at the sea, our bored gamer was also busy getting himself a huge fish as a reward in his advent. A day passed and he was not disappointed in today's harvest.

"Finally. The noises that I bring have not failed to invite your notice." Clark murmured as he felt an unimaginable divine sense scour his body.

The initial glance was merely a curiosity but that was more than enough to reveal his position in the eyes of our very own protagonist.

"Remain here and guard these humans." Our bored gamer instructed the monster race and the 23 human noble emperors in his command.

"We hear and obey, master!" They all bowed and in their faces could be seen the obvious awe that they felt towards our good gamer.

There was also a hint of fear but Clark simply ignored the feelings of his new minions.

"BANG!" Our bored gamer vanished and traversed unto the distant edges of the universe.

The trip took merely a few breaths but he had already sailed several billions of light years away from his initial spot.

He stopped when he landed on a dead world that was devoid of any life or color.

The coldness in here was unthinkable and only the eternal night reigned supreme in here for eras, epochs and eons.

This was a great picture of decay and perhaps rest on someone who was already very much weary in the mortal and immortal affairs of the world.

"And here I thought that I would find myself a great challenge in conquering this realm."

"It's sad to see that the strongest being in this universe had already long given up his place in the grand scheme of things."

Our bored gamer chuckled and taunted openly at the expense of the only soul that resided in this cold world. He could not give a high regard for such an obvious loser before him.

"You do not belong here. Leave this realm at once." A tired old voice answered the ridicule of our good gamer.

"I can do that... but first, you need to pledge your allegiance to me."

"Once you have done that, i can promise to take you out of this cage."

"You have been alone in here with no one to motivate you to achieve greater power."

"As you are now, even if I give you an eternity to cultivate, it would have only been a waste of time and no more."

"You are already satisfied with what you have. This mentality can be good or bad but either way, this does not have nothing to do with me at all."

"I only require you to serve me." Our bored gamer said his conditions but alas, what answered him was a world sized fist overhead.

"BANG!"
