Chapter 732: Future Roles of the Kartonian Gods (1/2)

But it was Sterfen who replied to the Elf God, ”Actually, I'd like to join forces with you three if that's alright. There are some things I can't explain right now but I'll be needing a task force as well. Choron agreed long ago, as did Guuro and Kori.”

”And I want you two!” Both Lorwynn and Hadurt were caught off guard by Skaryn's sudden statement. ”And, Alcahain, don't forget I haven't forgotten about you and Jin. You're coming with me whether you like it or not, as will Tyres when Jin is done with him.”

”What about Rikko!” shouted the Goblin God, feeling left out.

”I've got a special role for you, Uncle Rikko,” Jack added. ”Your skills in thievery will come in handy, I'm sure.”

”Rikko knew Nephew Legend great!”

”So long as Daruun is alright with your team, then I'll accept it,” stated Silas.

Daruun nodded and smiled. ”I'm fine with that. With this, Kartonia has already fulfilled the purpose of my creating it. From now on, Jack can use it as a supply of cosmicians while I occasionally select a few here and there for my own use.”

”Then it's settled. Jack, welcome to the Resolute Enterprise.” Silas welcomed Jack with a word of warning, ”Like the name suggests, never back down and stand by in the face of anything that dares threaten the life you choose to live. Fail to do that, and you'll fail the enterprise.”

”Wait, just like that I'm in?”

”Yup, but only as a rookie. Don't expect any assignments until you're a three-star, hence Oli's assignment to guard you against threats beyond your capacity. He won't interfere unless it's necessary, which should be a given.”

”Right… That alright with all of you?”

”Yes!” Many of his aforementioned teammates replied in unison, including the mage twins.

”Then that's that,” sighed Jack. ”Time to make the pact.”

Oli stepped forward with a big grin, eager to hop into the nexus the moment he's able. The pact was painless for his tough skin and he was glad to sense the effects of the pact already taking effect.

”If there's nothing else, then we'll separate for the night. You're all welcome to join the party in the banquet hall but I'm sure some of you couples have a lot of catching up to do,” chuckled Daruun. ”Tomorrow, I'll come back and discuss the places for you all to train and how Jack, Skaryn, and Sterfen will eliminate the remnant branches of Gem Incorporate abandoned by Jewel, just as Halmut was abandoned.

”We'll be taking those two with us. I'll begin splicing Halmut's brain tomorrow and I would hate to waste Tralbok's rare time skills, so I'll attempt making him a construct.”
