Supremacy Games

Everyone turned at once towards him, appearing quite enlivened by his exclamation.

"What is it?"

Everyone threw their shovels aside and rode their hover platforms in his direction. Upon reaching it, they were surprised to see a pointy sharp yellow rock, resembling a spearhead.

"Is it a rock?" Erik inquired while leaning closer.

"Let's find out." Malak said as she beamed a small shovel and passed it to Khodri.

In a careful manner, he began digging the sides around the yellow rock, exposing more and more hard surfaces around it.

They weren't separated from the first rock, making them a bit confused about what it was.

Soon, all of them picked up their own small shovels and began assisting Khodri after realizing that something big was underneath.

After five minutes or so, they were all left in a state of marvel at the sight of a humanoid statue holding tightly into a broken spear!

His cracked head was that of an eagle while his back had two broken wings attached to it.

The statue was not small in the slightest as the squad was all standing on his chest. His legs had yet to be exposed!

'Doesn't he remind you of Blacky?' Asna asked with a surprised tone.

'Matter of a fact, he does.' Felix replied.

Asna turned to Lady Sphinx who was bullying Thor and Jörmungandr in poker, and asked her, "Big sis, is there any chance that this temple might belong to you?"

"Hmm?" Lady Sphinx glanced upward to check and responded casually, "Probably belonged to one of my worshipers in ancient time."

Felix was left at loss for words at the sound of that. He knew that the primogenitors' worshipers were spread far and wide in the universe, but he didn't expect that one of Lady Sphinx's ruins would be in the Milky Way Galaxy.

The fact that it was the first ruins he aimed for was quite unexpected.

'Elder, you don't mind cleaning your worshiper's temple right?' Felix coughed.

'Help yourself.' Lady Sphinx gave half a shrug as she pushed a bunch of coins to the center of the table, making both Thor and Jörmungandr sweat a bit.

Immediately after getting her permission, Felix focused back on the squad that was continuing to reveal the statue.

They were so engrossed in their work, they forgot about their fatigue and also the two suns that were beginning to rise from the east.

A few minutes later, they were forced to break out of their focus as the sand around them began heating up, making them realize that it was time to bounce.

"Good work everyone." Malak clapped her hands twice and said, "Let's head back to the spaceship and take a break. We will continue from where we left at dusk."

Everyone nodded their heads and beamed their shovels. Then, they hovered to the spaceship and closed the gate after them, leaving the machines behind.
