Chapter 1443: Get serious
This weird realization added another layer of intrigue to the encounter, raising questions about how long Hilo had been within the black hole and what effects it might have had on his perception of time and events.
Overall, Hilo’s dispassionate and bored demeanor, coupled with his lack of awareness regarding recent events, painted a picture of a being who had become detached from the world outside the black hole’s confines.
"Sorry, but I don’t give autographs," Rain said while forcing a smile.
"You are acting like the other as well... it isn’t surprising that you are both from the same planet. He caused me a lot of trouble as well, so I had the idea of protecting myself here... the plan worked against him, but not against you, apparently. Or maybe he knew that facing me here would be useless. Unlike you."
"Maybe so, but who cares?" Rain shrugged. "A not so wise man once said that if you only try what you can do already, nothing will happen. The fun part of life is the uncertainty. If there is a book that says what will happen along the way and could read those, life would be pretty boring. Anyway, I didn’t come here to philosophy, I came here to beat your sorry ass. En garde, dickhead."
"You are indeed a hard-to-understand creature. My apologies, but I don’t have time to deal with you. I have more appropriate things to do."
Small black holes began to materialize in the vicinity, appearing almost as if they were being ejected into the space around them. From these newly formed portals, dark sentinels emerged, their imposing figures rising ominously from the depths of the black holes. It was a sight that made Rain tense his body, yet it also filled him with a sense of grim satisfaction.
What caught Rain’s attention was the fact that some of the dark sentinels emerging from the black holes showed signs of damage. It was evident that a significant number of them had already been destroyed, their shattered forms serving as a testament to the success of Rain’s plans thus far. It seemed that the careful strategies and calculated maneuvers employed by Rain were yielding results, disrupting the forces arrayed against them.
"It seems that you found my warehouses... that didn’t happen until now, even against him, so I wonder how you pulled it off."
