Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster

Chapter 676: The Constructs

Rael stood in front of Reili, who was currently snacking on the corpse of a demonic wolf.

But after telling Reili that they were going to leave... he was not very happy.

"Motherfucker... Didn’t you say you were going to spend some time with Lilith before leaving this place? I can’t even have a snack in peace?"

"Nope," Rael replied bluntly. "Pack your shit. We are leaving right away."

"...You can’t be serious."

Oh, but he was.

Reili could clearly see that.

So after making sure ten more times whether Rael was actually serious or not, Reili finally gave in, finished the rest of the demonic wolf, and then vanished out of sight.

Rael waited patiently, and as expected, within just a few seconds, Reili returned, holding a bag filled to the brim with clothes and other stuff.

He packed as though he was going on vacation.

Well...

He was not that far off.

"Give me a moment. I need to find my planet," Rael said and closed his eyes.

Had he been a bit more efficient with the Law of Space, he would have been able to teleport immediately.

But it took him nearly a minute to find it.

Yet when he did, he simply grabbed Reili by the shoulder, and in the next instant, vanished out of sight.

He reappeared shortly after, finding himself in the throne room of Celestara.

With neither Linlin, Evelyn, nor Aria sitting on the throne, it felt abandoned.

On the other hand, Zafira was still bonding with his sister, so he was not going to see her either.

It sucked.

It really did.

Nonetheless, as Rael scanned through the city, he soon spotted a few constructs that had returned.

The original Chop-E was not here, but Sweepus Prime and the others were still in the platinum boutique, doing absolutely nothing but lazing around.

Still...

"Reili. If you try to do something funny to either the people of this world or those I care about, I promise that you will suffer greatly."

Reili rolled his eyes.

"I’m not planning anything."

"Sure you aren’t. Anyhow, I’m not sure when I’ll need your help, since I’ll be heading off to the Dragon Realm soon."

His eyes widened.

"Are you fucking crazy? Why would you go into that shithole?"

"Because I’m a dragon? Duh."

For a moment, Reili thought he had misheard.

But soon enough, that doubt turned into disbelief.

Before he could express it, Rael just gestured for Reili to go away.

"There’s going to be a few people coming here in the next few months. At least, that’s my hunch. They are going to be at a Grade 6-ish level, and they should refer to themselves as the 12 heroes. If you see anyone like that, kill them instantly."

"...Is that it?" Reili asked, puzzled. "Do you not want me to scrub your dungeons?"

Rael raised a brow.

"That position’s already filled, but if you’re interested—"

"I was merely kidding. I accept this post, and I promise I will slay anyone calling themselves one of the 12 heroes," Reili cut him off abruptly.

With that, he gave Rael a quick nod and vanished out of sight again.

In truth, he could keep him on a leash, among many other things.

But he also felt like there was no need for that.

Especially because Rael was about to head into the Dragon Realm, and he only needed Burger for that.

Taking a demon into there... was a little stupid.

Burger was out working with the new Chop-E.

Though Rael did plan to spend a bit of time in this world before moving on.

And he would do so by paying a few certain someones a visit.

He slowly walked through the palace, then into the streets.

Many recognized him, and so a crowd had formed.

But he ignored it as he approached the platinum boutique, and then eventually, he entered it.

His constructs were still there, and when they saw him, they stared at him with confused looks.

"Rael...?"

"Hi there."

The moment he uttered those words, every single construct began charging toward him.

He was honestly expecting them to punch him, but instead, they all hugged him.

Sweepus Prime.

Xavier.

Dirt Vader.

Dust Trooper.

The constructs he had created so long ago.

The very same constructs that were erased from existence due to the consequences of his own actions.

He felt strangely emotional.

Since these constructs, in particular, felt just like his children.

As much as Uriel, maybe.

So, with a slight smile, Rael crouched down and hugged the constructs back.

Despite their bodies being made of crystals, they felt strangely warm.

It felt just like the hug he needed, and the one he had no chance to give to Lilith.

So for that, he was very grateful.

"I’m sorry for putting you guys through that mess," Rael apologized.

Sweepus Prime was the first to back away and shake his head.

"We don’t remember anything that happened. We only know that a lot of time has passed."

Next up was Xavier.

"As Sweepus has already said, the only recollection we have is of the passage of time, and also your emotions. They bled into the constructs across the many years you have endured."

Dirt Vader and Dust Trooper were a little more shy.

Perhaps because Rael created them with the intent of cleaning, they were so anxious.

Regardless of that, he got the general picture from Sweepus Prime and Xavier.

As for Dirt Vader and Dust Trooper, Rael simply patted their heads a couple of times.

"I see... I’ll make sure nothing like that happens again. I can assure you all of that much."

Xavier crossed his arms.

"You do not need to assure us of anything. We are plenty satisfied with our current lives."

Even though he heard it from Xavier straight up, Rael could not help but feel like something was missing.

The freedom he had been seeking for his constructs all this time...

After he got the Law of Infinity... maybe it was possible now.

Could he create a completely independent construct?
