World Domination System (Web Novel)
chapter-1048

Alas… As the minutes went by, nothing changed, so Daneel could only watch on with a puzzled expression and try two or three more times before realizing that it was only a fool who would do the same thing over and over again while expecting different results each time.

Pausing, he had analyzed the situation with the help of the system, only to realize in a few seconds that the main change between the last time he had come here and now was that his own body was no longer present – this was only a clone, and it was possible that his entry might be tied to his real body, or that entry was banned for clones.

So, he had had to make the long trip back to get his head which was at the stage of recovery where his hands and chest had sprouted off of it, but the rest was still slowly growing. Carefully, he had wrapped it up in a formation before overlaying the image of the clone that he had been using, and now, he was flying back at full speed to see what was waiting for him.

He still remembered clearly just how helpful the Treasury had been before. If it weren't for the blood of the Godbeasts that he had gotten inside, a lot of the plans he had made would not have come to fruition, so he genuinely looked forward to seeing whether he could get something that might help the continent that was very much in need.

During the journey over, he had also gone through everything given by the three assassins. It was disappointing that most of the plans were actually those already set in place by the Emperor which had been carried out before the last apocalypse, but this was to be expected, as the man had been a genius in planning.

The plans given by the assassins might be more complex, but the foundation was the same, and once again, he could not help but hope that when the time came to test whether he was genuine, it would all go well, and that he could feel relieved that at the turn of the tide, once again, this man was here to help the continent survive.

Hearing a loud crash from the transmission above the part of the Sea where the fight was going on, Daneel snapped out of these thoughts and saw that his sovereigns had finally met a tough nut to crack.

It was a Hero who specialized in an abstract path, which actually turned out to be one of the most effective counters against the construct they had made.

The Hero seemed to be adept in lulling one into a trance where they would lose control of whatever formations they were actively managing, so every time the axe or the gigantic fist came to meet him, he would make that person slow down and endanger the very fabric of the combined form they had taken, as each of them were also helping to maintain it so that Eloise wouldn't feel overwhelmed.

He could see Eloise frantically searching for a solution, and with the excitement of a spectator which he hadn't felt in a long time, he watched on to see what she would do.

After a few futile hits, she also saw that the situation below was not good – despite the decreased numbers of the family, they were finding ways to stay out of the reach of the Great Sharks that had all been attracted by the strong spell that she had borrowed from the Godnet.

Of course, Daneel was the one who had placed the spells and even the system at their disposal, after disguising it as a function of the formation. He had wanted them to be enabled with at least some of the incredible things that he could do, and he had decided that this would be the best way for them to do so.

If their task of picking off the Heroes was delayed, it was possible that the family might still retain enough strength to break through the barrier and then get to them, so each and every fight had to be as short as possible.

While still watching the fight closely, Daneel studied Eloise – the slight panic of a commander who was meeting a new situation could be seen on her face, followed by the thoughtfulness of a natural leader who could calm down even in the middle of an intense battle to figure out an answer to a problem presented to them.

Daneel had reached his destination, but he paused and did not speak the password as he wanted to see how this fight would end, knowing that it might even set the tone for the rest of the battle.

It looked like she had come to a decision, though, as he could see her giving orders to the rest of them, so with bated breath, he waited.

He tried to place himself in her situation, and even though he could find lots of solutions that he was capable of with his own power and the system, he could find nothing that matched with everything available to her at this moment.

And when the solution was revealed… He could not help but laugh, out loud, and clap his hands to applaud her wit.

At first, it seemed as if just like him before, she was doing the same thing again with the hope that it might work now.

The fist had started to fly towards the Hero, who had even gotten a dismissive expression on his face while trying to finish up a powerful spell that could strike through the construct to kill her, who had been identified as the target with the highest priority, as she was obviously the one giving all the orders.

This attack was a bit different from the one that had been displayed in the first fight.

The fist was flying at him from the right, while the axe made up a separate attack from his left.

The Hero raised his hand to slow down both of them and dodge just like he had done until now, but at the last moment… A woman appeared in front of the fist.

The face of this woman closely resembled his, and even without the similarity, it was known in the Order that she was his dearly beloved twin sister, who had come into the world at the same time as him.

She had been defeated and teleported away before, seeing which he had vowed to take revenge.

If he dodged, the axe would cleave straight through her, so for just a moment, he was indecisive… And of course, that was enough to clinch the victory.

The two attacks sped up as Eloise exerted herself even further and increased the amplification to the next level, following which the woman disappeared.

It was too late for him to use his Path, though.

His defenses were broken through, and he was also sucked into the black hole which transferred him to wherever it was that they were keeping all the defeated Heroes.

Seeing this and knowing that they would have no problem in vanquishing this enemy, Daneel took in a deep breath.

No matter what, this trip had to be beneficial to the continent.

With this thought firmly fixed on his mind, he spoke the passphrase, and disappeared.
