John Wicked: Endlessly Evolving My Pet Monsters-Chapter 41: Heavenrend Region’s Situation, Goal!!

"Well, some places in the four regions are slowly developing, but it's not worth it for the five ruling sects to put that much effort into them, and we also don't have that kind of resources."

Azelis continued, "The four regions are peaceful, but the Heavenrend Region is not as peaceful as it looks. We get attacked by Monsters from the ocean, and also by our enemies from the Whelshwing continent on the other side of the ocean."

"What? They attack here?" John was surprised.

"Not exactly here, but at Nexus City. There are a total of six cities in this region facing the ocean. One city each for the five ruling sects, while the sixth one—Nexus City—is an island in the ocean, a part of the Mysrin Archipelago, where Tamers of the five sects intersect. Of course, they might have spies here and there have been cases of them attacking other cities here, but rarely.'

"Damn..." John was surprised.

Azelis looked at the sea as she said, "After all, that archipelago is a vast and exotic collection of islands, each holding important resources and diverse Monsters. But we aren't the only ones who want them."

"Mhmm," John understood. "So living peacefully is not an option, eh?"

Azelis wryly chuckled, "Peace? There's no such thing in a sense. Even if there weren't other enemies, the five sects would have competed with each other. Sure, that would've been better, but that's just a dream. The world is vast, far bigger than what you can imagine, John."

"But that doesn't concern us."

Azelis smiled and looked at him as she continued. "Let's get you in the sect. Since you are my apprentice, you will live with me in my courtyard on the mountain. Rest plenty today and relax. We'll introduce you and do other stuff tomorrow."

The dragon flew to the left side of the mountain. John could see other Tamers looking at them who were walking on the mountain streets but couldn't hear them.

However, when he saw them and they saw him, John saw a bunch of surprised expressions directed at him.

"John, the young Tamers here look down on the Tamers of the four regions," Azelis informed, a faint smile tugging at her lips. "You might face some discrimination, but as long as you prove yourself, you're good."

"I don't plan to lose to anyone of my rank," John sharply grinned, showing his fist. "And even if I lose, that isn't going to stop me from getting better."

"That's a good mindset."

The dragon landed in the courtyard which had an aesthetic wooden pavilion like a small castle, a pond, a garden filled with different spiritual resources growing, and a training ground with a thin canopy of trees behind it.

The stairs were also behind the canopy of the trees, leading to other places on the mountain.

Azelis waved her hand as light shot out, which turned into a small black cat. The cat glanced at John before yawning and disappearing.

"Explore this place and do whatever you want, but don't go out of this courtyard until I return."

"Got it," John nodded.

Azelis left after dropping him while John looked around and found the cat, who had appeared in the cool shade of the tree, resting on the branch.

Despite its appearance, the cat was an Emperor-rank Monster!

John turned his head away from it and walked towards the pavilion.

The cat opened an eye and glanced at him before closing it again.

'I want to enter Monster Paradise, but with this cat here looking out for me, it'd be a problem if I suddenly disappeared.'

'Brother Chuthulos, isn't there a way for me to look and interact in Monster Paradise without entering inside?'

However, John got no response. 'It looks like he is busy.'

John exited the aesthetic castle without looking too much and sat down outside under the tree's shade.

Looking up at the cat, John smiled and waved his hand. "Hi."

The cat opened one of its eyes and closed it again.

On the other hand, John properly sat down cross-legged and entered a meditative state to focus.

He had to complete an important task if he wanted to stay in this Ouroboros Hall and also keep using the benefits of his Rune of New Beginning.

Monster Geno Art!

'But before that, let me see if I can see inside the Monster Paradise without physically entering...like projecting my consciousness inside.'

John looked deep within himself in his source space, arriving at the white space with four sections.

'Eh?' John was surprised. There were three sections previously, but now he was seeing four!

One was the Genetic Pocket, where the Geno Points of various Monsters were stored.

Second was the storage space. It only had the Monster Geno Art selection box for now and nothing else. John didn't bring any useless stuff with him from the forest.

The third section that was previously locked was now unlocked, and it was the Monster Paradise!

Before attempting to send just his mind, the consciousness in there, John looked at the fourth section.

[Reach Gold-rank to unlock it.]

'Oh...makes sense. I guess it will become either the Monster Mutation Evolab or the Eldritch Gear Forge, whichever skill I choose next after reaching Gold-rank.'

John went back to the third section and carefully focused on it, willing to enter it, but not physically.

'Please, don't make me physically disappear.'

After concentrating on that section, the view he was getting in his source space changed as it shifted into the Monster Paradise.

"Hurry up!" Pymon shouted, unable to stop the ball Alfred shot towards the goal.

"Goal!"

"Let's fucking go! Brother Alfred for the win!" Crocky shouted.

"Next round, we must win! Hey Sony, stop slacking! Why aren't you near the goalpost?!" Pymon scolded the snake.

'What the....are they playing football? And they are talking!' Hearing these words and looking at the large ground covered in a glassy dome like a football field with two big goalposts, John was dumbfounded.

"Starry, get the ball from Doku!"

"Mom, no!"

Starry made a wing-cut and dropped the ball from Doku's claws before Alfred swooped in mid-air and hit it with his tail.

But this time, Sony the snake barely managed to hit it with his tail, stopping the goal.

"Attack!" Pymon shouted as he flapped his wings, shooting the ball half across the field.

Crocky sped up to intervene and was about to shoot it back with his tail, but Roby and Toby, the two Silverwing Eagles, flapped their wings, causing a wind shift to slow the ball down and let it go upward.

"Shit!"

Alfred passed by him like the wind as Crocky said, "Brother Alfred, Coby, up to you two!"

Alfred moved like the wind while shouting, "Jonty, stop the ball!"

[Oh, brother John. You're here with your consciousness? Haha, I also just returned. Anyway, watch the match. It's Alfred, Starry, Crocky, and Coby versus Pymon, Doku, Roby, Toby, and Sony.]

'...'

[The little worm wants to play too, it seems, but it's too small for now, hehe.]

John looked at the Vermillion Trees Canopy and saw the Draconite worm watching them with a full tummy, eyes shining.

'So...how are they able to talk like this?' John curiously wondered. Monster football looked surprisingly fun, especially with them talking.

Team Alfred was winning with two goals ahead despite having one less member.

[Haha, I added voice law here. All monsters will be able to speak when they are in Monster Paradise. Also, since the Monsters were getting bored, I decided to create this domain-like football field. Now, they are having a blast.]

'Yeah, they are indeed having fun,' John couldn't help but smile as he saw Alfred and others enjoying themselves. 'By the way, can I interact here like this, or do I have to come in physically?'

[Of course, you can interact! Just try to speak, and your voice will physically ring here like mine. After all, I am also not present here physically like you and still can speak and talk with others. This is a very flexible world and you are the ruler of it.]

'Alright, let's do this.'

John already knew he could see everything like he was physically present, and instantly arrive anywhere on the island. It was like he had a pair of invisible eyes that could roam around instantly anywhere in Monster Paradise.

And as he tried to speak out loud, it also worked!

After watching and talking with the Monsters a bit, John said, "Alright, you all continue playing, but I am talking Alfred with me. I have some important stuff to do."

"Yes, yes. Please take him. He is breaking the balance, Master!" Pymon cried out.

"Don't worry, I'll evolve and rank you up to Silver-rank soon," John said with a chuckle.

"Really?, Yes! I can't wait!" Pymon's eyes shone excitedly.
