Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Chapter 208 Everyone Will Get A Choice



Once everything had been hauled up top, I grabbed one of the gravity discs and slapped it on the side of the football field sized crate that was packed full. The massive crate slowly started to float.

I let out a whoop and then slapped the corner of the crate, sending it spinning. Luckily, it spun directly at Riley, and the soldier stopped it with one hand, but he looked amazed.

"That is pretty wild. I wasn't sure if it was going to be that easy to stop," Riley said as I grew roots to latch onto the box.

"Yeah, these gravity discs are something else. I wasn't sure that it would work. Kinda makes me want to go deep sea diving for wrecks. I mean, if I had time," I laughed, and Riley nodded, but he looked to have something on his mind. "What's bothering you? You look to have something on your mind."

"That is the case. Remember how you asked me to stay? Well, I don't want Candace to stay here with me, but she is refusing to leave without me," Riley said in a tired voice.

"Bah!" I said, waving a hand. "Mr. Tree can guard the place. The others can't get out from the lower levels, and you are going to help me. I think I am going to need someone like you to help me deal with some of the humans. I don't really see any way but my own to work, but maybe I need fresh eyes on the problem. I also need someone to help with training," I explained, and Riley sighed.

"Well, that does make things easier. I was going to see if you could convince her to go with you," Riley said, and I barked out a laugh.

"I am guessing she didn't talk about our little meeting?" I asked, and Riley shook his head.

"No, she just told me that you saved them. Why? What happened?" Riley asked with a confused look.

"Well, nothing horrible, but she doesn't seem to think that I am doing everything that I can. Candace thinks that I should be using my powers to help more people. I told her that I wasn't that person, so I don't think that she would listen to me any more than you. Still, that problem was an easy fix. Better to bring everyone back with us," I said, and Riley shrugged.

"I can see her point, but after spending time around you and learning about what is coming, I am on your side. You are going to have to make some hard choices, and you don't have a lot of time to make them, by the sounds of things," Riley said, and I nodded.

"That is the cold hard truth of it. I plan on putting out a broadcast that will hit everyone on the planet. Once everyone knows what I require and what is coming, they will have to make a choice. One thing I will be making crystal clear is that everyone decides for themselves. I will not have people making choices for other people," I explained, and Riley gave me a look as Sofia walked over.

"How are you going to make it so everyone can do that? There are going to be groups that will bind themselves to religion and other leaders," Riley said, shaking his head.

"Don't worry about that. Everyone will get a choice, and anyone that stops them will have trees to deal with. Even as we speak now, Daniel had people all over the world delivering seeds like these trees. In about a week, we will be connected with the entire world," Sofia explained.

"Oh, well, I guess that is the way to do things. Still don't really get it, but I am not paid to. Hell, I am not paid to do anything anymore. How do you deal with money?" Riley asked curiously, and I laughed.

"No one has to work, so there is no point in it now. There will be jobs coming up, but the people that are doing them will be compensated. If you want clothes, food, furniture, or anything really, for the most part, the forest will provide it to you. There are also people that do specialty things, and they trade their work or just give it away," I explained, and Riley grinned.

"That sounds too good to be true. What about the people that you have working as trainers?" Riley asked.

"You mean his wives? Katie and Marley are in charge of the challenger dome, and once you see the place, you will be asking to work there for free. There is no money because we are all working together. If you need something, you just ask. There are rules, but the trees are the ones that reinforce them," Sofia explained, and Riley let out a sigh.

​ "I guess I am just going to have to see the place to be able to believe you. I can see why you might be having trouble getting people to join you. What you offer sounds too good to be true, and that usually is the case," Riley explained, and I nodded with a smile.

"Sure. Babe, can you get everyone ready? Once I have the disc made, I will need to get everyone on, and then I will make the wall and roof," I explained, and Sofia nodded.

"Yes, Papi. I have had enough aliens for one day, but I have the dragon girl's body in a pod packed away. I think we can take care of that tomorrow," Sofia said and gave me a kiss before heading over to the trees to round everyone up.

I turned back and stepped back in surprise, and then plugged my nose.

"God, you smell like dirty pussy mixed with shit, and you look just as bad!" I exclaimed as I looked over the silver master chief that was covered in red and white slime that smelled horrible.
