CHAPTER 1798: IT’S CALLED... MAGIC!

[Oh, my bad!] The lady nymph hurriedly opened the hatch and Hye got into the flagship, "sorry, got distracted there for a moment," she hurriedly said when she laid her eyes on Hye.

"Let’s drop the pretense for now," the pirate king instead was quite impatient, "you said we’ll leave, so let’s leave!"

"Not so fast," Hye didn’t care about what the pirate king felt, "let’s first make sure you two did your task right..."

"What task? What are you mumbling about?!!" The more Hye kept talking and acting like this the more impatient and even enraged the pirate king became.

"Oh, I see, you did put the ship on autopilot," Hye’s words left the two behind him quite speechless. And yet he moved to inspect the control panel of the entire flagship himself before saying these words.

"No sht! You have lost your mind..."

*Poof!* *Poof!* *Poof!*

Just before the pirate king would continue his words, many poofs erupted as the warriors inside this ship were vanishing at an alarming rate.

Watching this happen out of the blue meant one thing, "Why are you taking them back?!" The pirate king muttered in a worried tone, while feeling scared and even took a step backward.

He lived too far in the underground world to develop this sense to sniff any backstabbing going to happen. And even if his tone, attitude, and actions gave away what he was thinking about, Hye didn’t care.

"It’s a must move before we depart," he paused, took out a weapon, a staff, before adding, with a big smile, "hold tight, I’m going to open a portal, and this is the first time for me to open a portal on a fast-moving ship like this one."

"What?!! You are trying something new for the first time!!!" The pirate king screamed on the top of his lungs, feeling like he misplaced his trust on Hye. Yet the lady nymph didn’t feel the same.

She knew and watched Hye for a far longer period than the pirate king. She couldn’t help but recall the many miracles this human managed to pull even in the most hopeless and desperate situations.

"Let’s say the magical word... Open Sesame!" Hye waved his staff in an acting way as if he was standing on a stage or something. And yet the next moment, a portal opened, leading directly towards their safe haven; The Second Earth world!

"This..." the moment they passed through, they were welcomed with a grand scene of a majestic looking palace on top of a massive mountain. The mountain was lavish green from the thick layer of trees covering it from bottom to top. Underneath the mountain, there was a broad branch of the sea where a much broader branch of a river ran and ended into it.

It was one of the training grounds Hye’s kingdom had for their warriors in this world. The great disparity from being in the middle of a scary and deadly chase and battle and coming to this so looking peaceful place was too much, and yet none of these two complained.

"This is yours?" The pirate king was taken aback by the grand scene he spotted around him.

"It’s more like a secret base," the lady nymph jumped to another conclusion, "I can tell you there is a lot of work being done here, it can’t be just done in the past few years or something... This world, it’s yours since the apocalypse, right?"

"Let’s stop such useless talk," Hye didn’t give any useful answer, "and believe me, if we had no other way out of there except by coming here, I wouldn’t have brought you to my home."

"Your home? This..." The pirate king fell for the trick Hye threw, and yet the lady nymph didn’t. She just glared at Hye in much doubt, while he just shrugged.

"Let’s go back to our biggest base in the universe," Hye didn’t hesitate and instantly opened another portal, "come, let’s go back."

"We won’t stay here for a little longer? It’s way safer than going back to that scary battlefield..."

"Easy, we ain’t going back to that bloodbath," lady nymph pushed the pirate king to cross the portal, while giving Hye a meaningful look, "and I don’t buy that this world is your new world after the apocalypse, but it’s fine. Everyone must have few secrets to protect, right?"

"Girls..." Hye rolled his eyes, before he took a long look over The Second Earth world, "let me go back and start another miraculous base out there!"

Hye moved through the portal back into the place he left initially from, one of the planets in his new territory at the border of the universe.

"So... Are you interested in telling me, both of us, how the heck you managed to pull us from one place in the universe to another place in mere seconds?!!!" This experience left a deep touch over the pirate king, while the lady nymph just stood on the side, amusingly watching this.

"It’s called... Magic!" Hye played with the pirate king, before laughing out loud and shaking his head, "drop it, as she said, everyone has a few secrets and tricks up their sleeves."

"I just mentioned secrets," the lady nymph raised both hands, while couldn’t resist a chuckle, "don’t start at me like this, any lady would love to see her man look this mysterious and mighty!"

"Don’t encourage him!" the pirate king didn’t move his eyes off Hye, and the latter simply shrugged.

"Now we are back to my territory, your pirate force proclaimed base," Hye turned around, before taking a big flagship out, "let’s go, we need to convene a big meeting with everyone. I also need you to check and see what is happening where we left."

"Wait a minute," the lady nymph suddenly recalled something, "back there... We left behind everyone, we left behind... Everything!!"

Her eyes widened when she realised this point, and instantly the same shocked and fearful reaction appeared on the face of the pirate king.
