My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 202

"The Colony even looks like it’s made out of stone," Kisha remarked as she and Duke marveled at the spectacle before them.

"Master, it was indeed made from stone that my worker bees carved out with their forelegs," Bell explained through their mind link, causing Kisha to choke a little on her own saliva. It was a testament to the incredible strength and how sharp the scarlet bees’ forelegs.

"Carved out! Carved out!!!" A cheerful, excited voice echoed in Kisha’s head, distinct from 008 and Bell’s. Her head instantly whipped to the side where Zeus was excitedly spinning around, almost as if chasing its own tail.

Kisha was surprised to hear the voice inside her head, especially when she realized it came from Zeus. ’Could it be because I can now see Zeus’ status window under my pet panel?’ she wondered. ’If so, does that mean I can mind-link with Zeus like I do with 008 and Bell?’ Her thoughts raced, but since she had upgraded 008 herself, she couldn’t ask for confirmation. Still, it seemed plausible to her.

Once she made the connection, Kisha stopped dwelling on it. She and Duke admired Bell’s growing colony, then turned their attention to the forest, which now housed a variety of trees—sandalwood, acacia, agarwood, African blackwood, and more. Each tree alone was a treasure trove.

If she had secured this space before the apocalypse, Kisha thought, she could have become a tycoon, selling everything produced in this territory. All she would have needed was capital, whether big or small, to earn endless money.

"This is a treasure trove!" exclaimed Duke as they passed several African Blackwood trees while following Bell.

"Exactly what I was thinking," Kisha replied, scanning the surroundings and realizing the forest’s purpose: to cultivate valuable and expensive trees, rather than host wildlife. Not having seen any animals reinforced this conclusion for her.

But for Bell to settle in the forest also means that Kisha could potentially raise her own wildlife if she wanted. It seemed feasible now to have more than one pet like Bell, with plenty of space for them to stay and it seems her system could also accommodate more.

After passing the entire mountain where the forest lay, they arrived at a small pond. Kisha frowned slightly, noting that the only inhabitants seemed to be the ornamental fishes she had taken from Duke’s place—a pond as large as a swimming pool.

"Bell, are you sure this is the pond?" Kisha communicated through their mind link, sensing Bell’s confusion.

"Yes, master. This is the pond," Bell buzzed its wings as it affirmed.

Kisha’s confusion deepened, her brow furrowing. "What’s wrong?" Duke asked, noticing her concern.

"Hmm, let me think for a moment. I feel like I’m missing something here," Kisha replied, then accessed the territory’s interface. Upon examining the aquatic animals, she determined they weren’t dead but might be located elsewhere. She then mind-linked Bell again. "Do you know of any larger body of water nearby?"

There was a sudden silence from Bell, indicating it was deeply pondering the answer. Then, its wings began to buzz excitedly. "YES!!! Master, there’s an enormous lake at the foot of this mountain. The lake is several times larger than this pond, and beyond that, there’s even a sea!" Bell explained eagerly.

Whenever Bell had the opportunity to explore the space, it always took the chance to roam around, becoming more familiar with its layout than Kisha.

"SEA?!" Kisha exclaimed with wide eyes, her voice carrying surprise and excitement. The revelation of having a sea in her territory space was astonishing to her. ’Doesn’t that make my territory space a complete island?’

"What sea?" Duke asked, his curiosity evident. He had encountered many extraordinary phenomena with Kisha, so the idea of a sea in her domain didn’t shock him. Yet, it still filled him with a sense of wonder. He couldn’t shake the feeling that his wife was truly formidable and otherworldly.
