Chapter 201 (2/2)
The genetic code for the brownie popped into his minds eye, and both him and Joe looked over it . Tweaking it here and there to remove the annoying traits and promoting ones that would be helpful to the race .
GENETIC REWRITE .
All of the tweaks they had made went into effect, and Joseph watched excitedly as each of the seeds she had within her body also went through the change . He had hoped that since they weren't 'planted' yet, rewriting her would also rewrite them, and it had .
”Wow, that was unexpected,” muttered the gnomish G.o.d in shock .
(YOU'VE BEEN AWARDED POINTS FOR CASTING NEW SPELLS . )
(DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT BE USING SOME OF THESE POINTS?)
'Soon,' answered Joseph with a small smile as he released the brownie from her paralysis . He could almost hear the sigh from the system .
”What did you do to me?” asked the brownie, looking at her hands and back at him suspiciously .
”Made your race more p.r.o.ne to survival in the area I am taking you . Your seeds should be more than capable of sprouting in safety there . ”
As she glanced back down at her hands, Joseph picked up the gnomish G.o.d and flew up into the sky . Casting flight upon him, he left him floating just above the barrier, as Stella followed .
GREAT VOICE .
Directing himself at all of the gnomes below him, who were still mesmerized by the real sky above them, Joseph said, ”Hear me gnomes . Your G.o.d has protected you all this time from a great evil that covers the land . You are not safe here, so he has sent me to move you to safety . You must remember him, pray to him, and he will bless your workshops once again with insights and new inventions, he will bless you with new children and bountiful crops . Prepare yourselves as I move you to your new home . Once this realm is safe again, I shall return you, and you will in turn bless this land with your inventions . Those in this realm will wonder at you, and you will be respected!”
Choosing his words based on the desires of those below him, Joseph knew their G.o.d would soon be powerful again .
Joe appeared beside him . ”I'll go to the generator again, if you are going to move the city . ”
With a nod from Joseph, Joe was gone, and Stella and the gnome G.o.d joined him above the city .
MOVE TERRAIN .
The city below them began to shrink, then floated up, landing in the palm of his hand .
GATE .
A small doorway opened behind him, and he led Stella and the G.o.d through it, into the other realm, where he had gotten the beast-kin . Below them was the area where the mountain had been . Joseph looked around and saw that the area was still safe as the destruction they had caused had ensured no one was around . Moving into one of the mountain valleys, closer to the dwarves, he chose a spot and flattened it before cancelling the MOVE TERRAIN .
Zakka was running across the courtyard, terrified, since his speech to the gnomes hadn't reached her .
SHATTER .
The barrier came down as he destroyed it with a single spell, bringing a wince of pain to the G.o.d beside him .
TELEPORT OTHER .
Joseph sent the brownie back to the site of the destruction he had caused with Selena . It was far enough from here that many years would pa.s.s before the brownies found the gnomes again . Plus, she would be safe to seed the area without worry of anyone or anything bothering her .
”Go to your gnomes and give them a reason to wors.h.i.+p you . I'm sure you have plenty of ideas of things you can do to impress them . Do you want me to bring back the royal family as well?”
”No, they were the ones who caused the others to drift from me . Thank you, Joseph . I will repay you before the time limit is up . ”
”I know . ”
He took Stella's hand and teleported them to the main entrance of the dwarven keep . The guards rushed at them before realizing who they were .
”What in the blazes are you doin' back here?” asked one of the dwarves, dropping his axe so it wouldn't be so threatening .
”I figured that since I was in the neighborhood, I would drop in for a visit,” said Joseph, walking past the guard .
”And we brought more ale,” smirked Stella .
Those that heard her gave a cheer, and the doors were quickly opened .
