Strings Of Domination

Leaving behind the spaceship with calm steps, Nash led the way to the underground palace while tens of people behind him followed closely, fearing they will get lost in the thick darkness that surrounded them from everywhere.

However, such concerns were meaningless as Nash made sure everyone was close to him and didn't wander away, using his Souls as guards that surrounded the group from all sides; he didn't wish to see any accidents occur, not after he was this close to bringing everyone to steadfast safety after such a long time!

The crowd followed Nash closely and quietly, but although they felt slightly anxious they also felt excited to see just what kind of place Nash will bring them and where they will live from this very point onward.

But who could have guessed that the 'place' which they thought was just a small area filled with some facilities would turn out to be a huge and majestic palace with a garden which was a literal vast green grassland filled with trees and bushes!

The whole sight made each and every one of them feel like an ant, unworthy of being a guest of such a royal residence much less its owner!

Walking through the main gates and arriving into the gallery with calm steps, giving rise to another shock to the humans that followed after him, Nash curved his lips gently upward before halting his steps and turning around.

"Welcome to Emerald Palace, a place that has existed under this planet's surface for many centuries without anyone discovering it until now. From this moment on, this shall be our home!"

"A-Are for real? You can't be serious, right?"

Many doubted Nash's words for the first time heard what he just said, but soon they had to realize that his talk was indeed valid, and such a luxurious palace will truly be their home in the future! From this moment on, they could truly live the rest of their lives just like any of those royal families from the different dimensions, in order and comfort!

Except for the black sun which summoned the dense darkness, there was everything they needed for a peaceful life. Their home was well protected as it was built deep underground, thus they didn't have to fear they will be ambushed! Food and drinks such as vegetables, different kinds of plants, juicy fruits, and crystal clear water were full on the outside, so they didn't have to worry about starvation or dying from thirst.

As for the scary beasts that could possibly threaten their lives during their time on the surface, they can be easily taken care of by Nash's Souls!

Nash watched the looks of many in front of him and couldn't help but curve his lips upward a little bit more before his face became serious once again and clapped his hands.

"Now then, everyone, please listen carefully."

When Nash's calm but loud voice was heard everyone quietened down and shifted their attention at him, their eyes holding the utmost respect they possibly could hold just like how soldiers would look at their commander whenever he was about to talk!

If in the past they saw Nash as a strong leader who they could trust because of his power and feats, from this moment on they looked at him like a God, an entity who not only gave them a second chance in life but even a sheltered place which they could call as home in such chaotic times!

In their eyes, everything he did or said was like that of a verdict, an absolute order they were glad to follow no matter what!

Nash saw the blazing flames of respect in the eyes of the people and couldn't help but push his chest slightly out and straighten his posture proudly; naturally, he couldn't resist the urge to do so, like... who could? It was only expected for one to feel exultant when seeing so many people admiring them as if they were Gods, right?

Of course, this didn't mean Nash would think that he was a God nor that he can allow himself to be arrogant and lose his mind to power and greed, as he clearly understood that would only lead him to his death faster; he just simply savored the moment, that's all.

After keeping silent for a moment, Nash took a deep breath and began to talk with a relaxed tone of voice.

"Before I let you go and attend to your own business, I must remind you that although we have finally reached a milestone after a bit more than a month, I hope none of you believe even for a second that we have completely survived and can live in pure harmony from this moment on."

"No, as a fact, the real deal has only just begun, thus why I wish to adjust a few things in our rules and establish a new system that will be a crucial factor in our growth and success in the future. However, as for what are these changes, I will only talk about them in greater detail in tomorrow's gathering where everyone must attend. I just wanted you to know this."

When Nash finished talking, everyone began to talk quietly among one another, some showing confusion, others growing excited while the rest began to turn slightly skeptical about what Nash just told them. However, one thing was apparent on everyone's faces; none of them could come up with a proper guess or idea of what he wanted to do, thus could do nothing but remain in the dark until tomorrow.

Nash remained silent and examined everyone's expression and Indicator in great detail, and after getting fairly enough feedback about how the people truly felt, he nodded and said, "Well then, if you have no question about other matters except this one, this is everything I have wished to tell for now."

Thus, after seeing no one wished to raise a question, Nash nodded and walked away with slow, but wide steps toward one of the staircases on the sides while in his mind he ordered two of his Souls to stand guards in the tunnel which was the sole entrance and exit of this underground paradise.

Walking through a long and wide hallway with nothing but majestic and beautiful emerald statues and crystal transparent windows that showed the breathtaking sight outside on both sides, Nash finally arrived before this huge emerald door which he opened without hesitation and walked inside.

And once inside, what waited for him was a sight only a few lived to see, and even less to use!

Emerald green carpet enveloping the entirety of the white jade floor, a small glass table which had a pair of emerald crystal chairs on the right, a long and tall bookshelf filled with not a single book on the left, and a ridiculously huge bed that could accommodate even four different sized people on it quite easily and even then a little bit of space would remain!

Everything looked just way too royal, that just one item from this room alone would earn thousands if not millions if we're to be sold!

However, Nash was not impressed by such a sight as this was not the first time he saw it, hence quickly walked over to the glass table and sat down in front of it before pitting his hand into his pocket and pulling out an old scroll which had human language written on it. method
