Damned Healer-Chapter 544: For The Future

Darian left the stone temple slowly. Then, he moved calmly, taking one step at a time forward, while reflecting on everything.

He definitely couldn't count on luck; the three Spiritual Sovereigns could simply attack him at any moment. So, he had to create safety methods in case everything went wrong.

The main thing was to create a powerful army, one that could rise on its own using his resources. Darian had gained many things, and it made no sense to keep everything for himself, since there was a limit to how strong he could get using external things.

If everyone used everything and reached the level of an immortal, even if incomplete and far below the Spiritual Sovereigns, they could still help him a lot.

Another important point was to get the other books. Darian became a Spiritual Guardian more than a decade ago, but had only taken part in two missions so far. He had to start doing S-rank missions, so Heaven's Will could have the chance to place him where he should be.

Meru had said it before: her father was watching, and if possible, would place him close to the other books. Getting those books would be the same as gaining more power.

In the end... Darian took a deep breath, thinking about that woman who had filled his mind for so many years.

Ever since the day they met, he never really understood what he felt; physical attraction was the first thing to show up, but it only grew stronger with time.

Meru was right and described him perfectly. He was a bit scared, since Niara had many expectations, while he was inexperienced in every sense. But Niara clearly felt his anxiety, so she was trying to help him move forward gently.

Darian snorted. Maybe he should just be like Niara and let his instincts act freely. After all, he felt exactly what she felt; he only had to keep trying, and he'd know exactly when to stop and when to move forward.

He had to stop trying to take care of her all the time. This was probably irritating Niara, and one day she could become really frustrated. For their future, it was better that both could learn about each other deeply together. He wasn't alone in this, after all.

...

In front of Darian, the entire ground was overturned, with countless holes and fissures.

"You're back!" a loud female voice sounded. Seeing him from afar, Tetoya ran toward Darian.

"All the Golems were born and taken away. It was one million and three hundred... but not all of them managed to get bodies with good materials. Almost 70% of them are using bodies made of common rocks, and if they don't change within the first years, it'll be a big problem."

Darian nodded, "I came prepared. Where is everyone?"

"The two tribes decided to unite permanently, with all the Golems staying together. They're building a city in the best place on the planet. They said they don't need to hide anymore, because the Golem King will take care of them." Tetoya answered with a firm and respectful expression, almost as if he were equal to Painita.

Not long ago, for her, Darian was just a bold foreign human who went to her planet to propose a ridiculous marriage with the princess. A few months later, she saw and lived many things fighting at his side. In her eyes, this figure had become something she couldn't even describe.

"Oh? Why so serious?" Darian said in a mocking tone when he noticed the strangeness in her voice. "Finally accepted that I'm a worthy Instructor and you're a spoiled brat? Don't worry about that, I already had my fun burying you in the mud and almost making you die of anger before. Just be yourself, don't try to turn me into something I never tried to be."

Tetoya's face changed; then she snorted as if she had gotten something off her chest. With a click of her tongue, she turned around.

"Whatever..." she muttered, then quickly moved with fast steps. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Darian smiled lightly and followed her, being taken to where the Golems were.

A huge earthen city was being raised quickly. They built the foundation fast and easily. Later, when their technique's power was fully recovered, they would build the deeper structures.

When Darian got closer, a figure ran toward him.

"Brother Darian! All the newborns! They have an Earth Heart at Immortal level!", Thulon exclaimed, euphoric.

Darian understood. That Heavenly Annihilation nurtured all of them to an unprecedented point. They were all born at the same level as a Golem God Sovereign, something that should only exist once per generation.

Darian was taken to an area with many multi-story buildings. That was where the newborns were being cared for. When he entered one of them, Darian saw many small rocks of strange shapes, releasing a subtle vital aura.

They were like human newborns; they couldn't speak, walk, or do anything. So they were placed together in groups, and the other Golems passed knowledge to them through the race's connection, until they gained some independence.

"Since there were so many at once, there wasn't much good material left to form their bodies...", Thulon murmured.

Darian nodded and, in front of him, more than a hundred spatial rings appeared. He moved them toward Thulon.

"Take everything and distribute it equally to all the newborns."

Thulon looked into one of them, and his eyes bulged.

That ring had a huge space and was completely packed with pulsating metals, with a power he had never seen before.

"Not everyone can create a full body with this, but since you all form half of it with flesh and bone, you can use the other half. It's enough," Darian continued.

When he learned from Aurix about the Golems, Darian had many ideas about how he would get closer to them so his plans could work. He thought it might be useful to bring a lot of metals that were stored in the Academy.

He brought less than 5% of what they had in stock; losing that amount wouldn't make any difference. But now he found a good use for it, and these newborn Golems would gain a lot.

Darian stared into Thulon's eyes and spoke seriously.

"I'm leaving soon. Because of the time difference between the universes, it'll probably take hundreds of years before we meet again. I'm counting on you to take care of everyone here and raise everyone to the maximum. From time to time, I'll send more of that soil and water so you all can get stronger..."

Thulon's gaze trembled. It had only been a few days, but absolutely everything changed for him and for his race thanks to Darian.

"The day will come when I'll need your help. And you— even though the newborns have the same level as your Earth Heart, you're still the only Golem God Sovereign. You have something inside you that no one else has. So, it's your responsibility to lead everyone."

"Yes! I-I swear... that I won't let anyone slack off! Y-You can count on us, we'll fight by your side... we'll do everything to help you!" Thulon tried to speak confidently, but couldn't hide the slight trembling tone.

Darian nodded. This young one was still immature, but now he was on the right path. He had a genuine desire to get stronger because he felt that the safety of his race was now in Darian's hands.

Darian would wait at least three hundred years, in that universe's time, for the newborns to reach adulthood. After that, he would ask Aurix to move them to the training universe, so they could be trained, fight, and gain real combat experience.

With the Golems at the ninth Celestial realm, an immortal Earth Heart, and their technique being usable on newborn planets of that universe, they would become a terrifyingly powerful combat force. They would have power equivalent to nine-ring Tanks, or even above that. In other words, they were a great secret weapon for the future.

After saying everything, Darian gathered all the allied Spiritual Guardians who had come. When evaluating them, their physical bodies were now at least three times stronger than before.

Those who came from Vadise, because they had much more developed physiques, managed to absorb even more power from the heavens until reaching their limit. Tetoya, for example, was almost five times stronger than when she arrived.

In summary, the chances of these two hundred becoming immortals in the future were immense.

After that, Darian spent a few days giving everyone guidance and also leaving some Magic Techniques that used the earth element for the Golems. After completing eleven months in that universe, he decided everything was ready and gathered everyone to leave.

He said goodbye to Thulon, Thulya, Lutecia, and Thulina, seeing the flame of the will to grow in them, along with a strange admiration in their eyes toward him.

Darian decided to ignore it. Then he grabbed a crystal and activated it. In that instant, a spatial channel opened high above the planet.

"Goodbye, we'll see each other again in the future." Darian spoke calmly, jumping upward along with everyone.

And so, they disappeared from that universe for good.

...

On the other side, Aurix received them back silently. They had spent eleven months in that universe, but in the Universe of Heaven's Will, only one month and three days had passed.

When Darian turned toward him, he felt something different in his gaze.

Aurix focused on Darian, taking a deep breath. "My Lord... on your planet... I received news that the Wube family made a move, knowing you weren't there. It seems there was a great battle... and an entire continent was taken by that family by force."
