《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 214: Cold Hearted Revenge
Advertisement
Nugget looked over at the still body of the wolf. She tried to push herself up on her one leg, but she still couldn't stand up. She cooked her head to the side as she turned towards the robot. Its invisible body had started to shimmer.
Nugget spread her wings and flames surrounded her. She flapped her fiery wings down, and lifted her body up into the air. She flew over to the wolf's cold body. As the fire around her dissipated, she landed on top of the wolf.
Nugget lowered her head down towards the wolf's mouth. A small wisp of fire twirled out of her beak, and down the wolf's throat. The glow of the small fire could be seen through the wolf's skin as it traveled deeper into his body.
"How...how did you find it? My plan. My plan was perfect!" The scientist yelled angrily. "This....you were just a distraction, weren't you!"
The robot lost its invisibility more and more. It's massive arms clasped together and raised into the air above it. Then, it slammed down its hands towards Nugget and the wolf's frigid body.
WHAM!
The giant arms slammed down with immense power, but seemed to have been stopped just before they hit the ground.
"Aaaarrreee yyyooouuu ooookkkaaayyyy?"
Nugget looked up, and Bakade had her hands up and was holding back the two giant hands. Her body was shaking slightly ad the robot pushed down.
Nugget was lying upside down, and the wolf's body was gone. She seemed stunned for a moment, and when she replied with a "Ba...awk." her voice cracked.
"IIIIII'mmmm ggglllaaaddd yyyyooouuu'rrreee aaalllrrriiiggghhhttt." Bakade said with a sigh. "IIIIIII wwwaaasss rrreeeeaalllllyyyy wwwwoooorrriiiieeeeddd. Wwwaaaiiittt, wwhhhaaattt hhhaaapppeeeennneeeddd tttoooo yyyooouuurrr llleeeeggg?"
Boom!
The robot's arms lifted away from them. The machine had been knocked back and crashed into a wall of the cavern.

"Cccoouuulllddd hhheee aaalllwwwaayyysss dddooo tthhhhaaattt?" Bakade asked as she gently scooped Nugget up into her arms.
Nugget blinked twice, and then shook her head.
The wolf was mid leap. His body covered in a thick frost. A fog of ice crystals surrounded him, and a massive sword made of a thick blue ice was held in his mouth. At least, it was roughly sword shaped, but it had many jagged edges and sharp spikes of ice that jutted off of it.
He turned his head and slammed the massive sword into the robot again. The machine was knocked another direction as it slammed into a different wall.
"This is impossible! You traitor! You were holding this back until I lost it weren't you?" The old man snapped. "I thought you'd at least understand my desire for revenge, yet here you are."
The robot was now completely visible. It split its two arms into hundreds of smaller ones. All of them with a single sharp point on the end of them, like a tent spike. The armada of arms spread through the room, and began their onslaught against the wolf. The scientist seemed to completely ignore the two women still in the room with them.
"Sssooorrrryyy IIIIII tttooookkkk sssoooo lllooonnggg," Bakade apologized as she tucked Nugget under her arm.
As she held the chicken with one hand, she jumped up onto the wall, and dug her claws in.
"Rreeeaaadddyyy tttooo llleeeaavvveee ttthhhhooossseeee tttwwwooo jjjeeerrrkkksss?" Bakade asked.
Nugget looked down as the wolf fought off the attack. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. Even as she seemed to contemplate the question, Bakade started to climb away along the wall.
Ting. Ting. Ting. Ting.
The wolf used his sword and knocked away each limb as it stretched out to hit him. He almost seemed even faster than he did before. The sword swung around in wide arcs as it kept his body completely untouched.

"Fool. As if that'll be enough to stop me!" The scientist cackled as the arms all pulled back at once. "Fast or not, you're far too predictable."
The arms all adjusted and then, in a coordinated symphony launched into an improved attack. When one spike thrust towards him, another on the opposite side would attack him as well. With more and more cascading forward with each second.
The wolf still managed to hold them off with the giant sword in his mouth. But, as one finally seemed to slip through, it got covered in more and more frost the closer it got to his body. Not only that, but it slowed down more and more the closer it got.
His body was overflowing with raw hatred that seemed to be physically represented by the icy fog that surrounded him. The spikes that slipped through his defense became heavily coated in ice to the point that they effectively became rounded on their tip. Along with slowing down enough to give the wolf plenty of time to knock them away with his sword.
"You think you've beaten me? Not even close! All you and your fellow traitors have done is delay the inevitable." The scientist said angrily. "You're pathetic. Worthless. Just absolute trash, and you should be grateful I gave you a second glance, let alone all the gifts I blessed you with!"
The wolf didn't even snarl in response. His one eye just focused on the main body of the robot. He tensed his legs and then leaped like a missile towards the scientist's magnum opus. As he blew through a defensive attack of arms, he twisted his head to the side and prepared to attack with his sword again.
In the meantime, Bakade had already climbed out of the hole with Nugget tucked under her arm. As the two of them breached the surface, the girl with a moose skull looked down at the hen tucked against her body.
"Ssssoooo.....aaannnyy iiiddeeaaaa hhhhooowwww tttoooo aaccctttuuuuaaaalllyyyy gggeeetttt ooouuuutttt oooofff hhheeerrreee?"

Is That A Wisp?
Author’s Note: The start of the story is very slow and cliche. Give it a chance until the wisp reaches the human cities. It’s at that point that the book’s charm shows itself (Around chapter 20, all free!).

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.

Gray's Crucible
“The value you have brought to trade is immense, more than a thousand fold what any other traveler to Crucible has ever produced. More than even I produced during my journey.” The old man paused for a moment here, seemingly reluctant to continue. After a few seconds he begins again with weariness creeping into his voice. “As the Messenger of Crucible I have received the value of your life. You shall be awarded a body with potential equaling the value you have brought to this place in accordance with the laws of the higher realms. Now you shall depart for Crucible, but first; I, Jaze, will give you some advice.” The old man, Jaze, he had named himself paused a time. Time enough that Gray began to wonder if he was still present, when he suddenly continued in a low and serious tone, “You will undoubtedly have great potential Gray of Earth, but it is still only potential. What could be is not necessarily what will be. If you step foolishly in my world, if you can not live up to the potential you have bartered for, Crucible will crush you mercilessly and tear away your very soul.” A thought, cheerful and light was heard from Gray before his presence was sent rocketing away like a shooting star. “I’m looking forward to it.”
