The Primal Hunter

Chapter 952: A Bright World Chapter 952: A Bright World

It was inevitable not all planets would survive this system event, especially not the planets that chose to face the event alone. On Olliandra’s planet, Jake learned that some World Leaders had truly become drunk with their measly power, believing themselves capable of things way outside their capabilities. She had just been lucky that she had only gotten too overconfident after also deciding to join the alliance.

The planet that had fallen was one that wasn’t part of the alliance, so it wasn’t even as if anyone could have saved it, even if they wanted it.

One of the first things Jake checked was the information provided by the system that gave a general overview of the planet. What he saw wasn’t very positive. According to the report, the number of enlightened people still alive was a bit less than a million. A meager number for an entire planet.

Next up, he checked something else: the possibility of teleporting there. However, as they had not been part of the alliance, they had never received or created the teleportation circle provided to those part of the alliance. They naturally also hadn’t claimed the Prima Vessel either, meaning there was no easy way to get there… at least not without the teleporter Arnold was working on.

Jake also considered for a moment what would happen on the gray-flag planet now. The Prima Guardian would have gained its second key and gone to claim the Planetary Pylon, and once that was done… Jake wasn’t entirely certain what would happen next.

If the Prima Guardian was like the two other ones he had seen, it would die by itself after some time due to the instability of its soul. When that happened, the planet would be left in the hands of the Primas. It was also a good question if they would remain Primas after the event ended. Perhaps they just wouldn’t be able to have offspring that was also considered Primas, meaning the variant would die with them, and in only a single generation, the planet would be dominated solely by beasts and monsters, many of which had Prima parents.

With the Prima Guardian claiming the Planetary Pylon, the Pylon would also be transformed back into simply being a Planetary Core. For the planet itself, this wouldn’t matter, all it did was reduce the value of the planet for any enlightened who wished to claim it. If this reversal to a normal Planetary Core happened after the Prima Guardian died, Jake wasn’t sure.

All he knew was that monsters couldn’t claim and control Planetary Pylons. At least not usually. It required a certain level of nobility title to do so, and since monsters couldn’t get nobility titles, they couldn’t claim it. Well, the King was an outlier, but he was also literally a Unique Lifeform, so him having unique circumstances shouldn’t come as a surprise.

This isn’t to say that claiming a Planetary Core wasn’t valuable to a monster. One could just look at the Ghostvine on the moon that had claimed the moon’s core that wasn’t even a real Planetary Core. The core was a wellspring of pretty much infinite energy and a top-tier natural treasure for any monster that claimed it and slowly absorbed its energies to grow. The only downside of a Planetary Core was that it was really hard to move around, and moving it would often end up ruining it.

While thinking, Jake even began to theorize part of the reason these Prima Guardians were even a thing was to make sure the Planetary Pylons were turned into Planetary Cores should the planet lose during the system event. However, even if the Pylon was turned into a core, that didn’t mean all enlightened died, right?

Let’s hope the remaining survivors can survive till the planet potentially opens up or until Arnold finds success… maybe the regular Primas aren’t as aggressive toward people after the Planetary Pylon has been claimed… for their sake, I hope that’s the case, Jake thought, though he knew it was very hopeful thinking.

This was the risk one faced if they chose to take on the Prima Guardian alone. It was scary to consider that the choices of one incompetent World Leader could doom an entire civilization in such a direct way, and Jake was happy he had chosen to divvy out any such responsibilities and decision-making. Oh, and that when he did make unilateral decisions, he was at least strong enough to back up his own choices.

Then again… perhaps that is also what the now-dead World Leader of the fallen planet had believed.

Shaking his head, Jake focused on helping out where he could actually do something. He began quickly checking out planets to apply to, and shortly after, he found one that seemed worth visiting. Having actually read the descriptions, this one mentioned the World Leader’s intentions to face the Prima Guardian as soon as they believed they had gathered a powerful enough force, and they were recruiting anyone willing to join them from the galaxy. No mentions of Ell’Hakan anywhere, either.

In fact, it mentioned that it was open for debate for people to be able to stay after the event, with even offers of high-ranking positions up for grabs. All of this seemed great, and the planet seemed interesting, but one thing caught his attention more than anything else… the population.

A hundred and seventy-two billion people.

That was more than twenty times the people Earth had before the integration, with that number lower now due to the many deaths. Sure, in the future, Jake didn’t doubt their population would balloon, especially with how big Earth was now, but for a planet to have this extreme population numbers now must have meant they had a huge population before the system.

He did question why they didn’t believe they had a big enough force to face the Prima Guardian with that many to choose from, but he would probably learn why shortly if they accepted him.

Applying to the planet, Jake waited for a few minutes with nothing happening. Sighing, he began to look for other places to go instead, but just then, a notification appeared, informing him his application had been accepted. He had been a bit worried his title as World Leader would prove a problem, but luckily that wasn’t the case.

a room in the center of the dome. Jake also quickly noticed that this wasn’t the only one. Several teleportation circles were placed on different floors on top of one another, seemingly all linked together somehow. As he arrived, he saw three people walking toward him. All of them were elves, wearing similar white and gray robes, with the woman in the middle having a slightly more elaborate robe with two men at her side wearing simpler ones.
