293 Panumans
Meanwhile, turning toward the two beasts, Virus voiced in their language, "Who or what we are doesn't matter. We just need some water from the river. Then, we'll leave."
"Stop taking any more water from our sacred ground! Tell your subordinates to stop and return all they have taken from us! If you do that, we'll consider not eating your corpses." The Panuman growled these words. {A/N: I'll only write the translation of their growls and conversation from now on. But you can imagine them making a serious of growls, and Virus growling back in return. :D}
"Master? Why aren't they attacking us? Why are they just watching and talking like civilized people?" Confused by the way those Panumans were acting, the golden beauty questioned.
"Well, they're at least that smart to not attack some being entirely unknown to them. Thus, they're waiting for their comrades to join so they would deal with us together." Was Virus' answer.
"Ah… when did they notify their comrades?"
"The roar we heard at first, that was them alarming their friends… they should be arriving soon enough…" At this point, turning his head around, Virus saw that the last container was filled to the brim, meaning, it was time for them to depart.
"Let's go. We need to hurry and leave before the other Panumans come, otherwise, it might be a bit of a headache to deal with them." He remarked casually.
"Ah… alright, let's go then." And so, they began walking toward the spaceship as the Worker robots had already carried all of the 55-gallon drums within the spaceship itself.
"Halt!" However, at this time, one of the Panumans roared in anger.
The two of them, of course, didn't listen and continued strolling toward their spaceship in a very relaxed fashion.
Seeing this, the Panumans started to deliberate. They wanted to wait for the other soldiers to arrive before attacking together. But now, that didn't seem to be one of their options. So, after a brief gaze into each other's dark eyes, they charged.
Roar!
Immediately, an evil grin crept on Virus' face. Nonetheless, not paying any heed to them at all, he proceeded on his path.
When the two were almost upon Virus, both of them leaped in his direction as their sharp claws were getting closer and closer to his defenseless back.
Then, just as their attacks were about to hit him, at the very last moment, Virus turned around as both of his hands disappeared in the direction of the two Panumans. The speed of his hands was so quick that the Panumans couldn't see them at all. To them, Virus' hands had literally… vanished!
A moment passed, and now, two Panumans were being grabbed by their necks as they continuously struggled within his palms.
To be more exact, he was holding them from the back of their neck. Like this, no matter how hard they struggled and tried to free themselves. They couldn't, because their claws couldn't reach their opponent at all.
"You two should've just left."
Crack~ Crack~
Two cracking noises were heard next as the Panumans no longer breathed. They had been killed just like that.
Casually throwing their motionless bodies on the floor, just like dumping garbage, he uttered, "Let's go."
Then, they sauntered to the spaceship. Just as they put their feet within the spaceship, however, numerous weird noises were heard.
Roar! ROAR~ GROWL!
AWWWOO! GRRRRR! Roar!
Rawr! Hiss~ Grunt...
{A/N: Here they're probably yelling and screaming. Saying stuff like, attack brothers! Enemy! Rip him into shreds!, What is that thing they're entering, Ouch! You just stepped on my fingerish paws dude, etc.}
Instantly, all around the spaceship was surrounded by what appeared to be at least tens of thousands of Panumans. Everywhere was filled with Panumans to the brim.
Seeing this, Virus sighed, "The number of these Panumans are countless on the planet, that's why they can dominate the planet. And that's why I called them a headache. Let's go." The moment he uttered these words, the spaceship's entrance closed itself as it took off into the sky. Leaving behind tens of thousands of Panuman who were charging in the direction of the spaceship behind.
______________
After returning to Earth, without busying himself with anything else, Virus came back to New York.
He wanted to complete the process of creating the golden beauty's body as soon as possible because he had something else he had been postponing for some time now as he had been always busy with everything else all this time.
Of course, the first thing he did after his return was to sit on the couch in order to rest and relax for a bit. He also told the golden beauty, "Lil Belle, would you mind making some tea for me."
"On it, master!" Replying like that, she happily took off toward the kitchen. However, just as she was about to enter, she stopped and questioned, "Oh, right… master, should I make the tea with the 'Water of Life' or normal water?"
"Water of Life would be best." He answered casually.
"Alright!" Heeding his preference, she returned toward the elevator as she easily picked up a 200-liter 55-gallon drum like it was nothing and started walking back toward the kitchen with a silly smile.
Soon, a cup of tea was placed in front of Virus as she muttered, "I'm still not that familiar with the best timing to make the best tea with the Water of Life, so please make do with this for now, master."
Picking the cup of tea, Virus brought it close to his nose as he took a sniff of its aroma which was already spreading throughout the floor.
"Hmm, this is simply heavenly. It makes me wonder how a simple tea can be so fragrant due to a simple change in its water." He said casually before adding, "It's really good, Lil Belle, thanks."
Showing a coy smile, she mouthed back, "You're absolutely welcome, master."
Nodding his head, Virus' all attention was drawn to the tea as he finally took a small sip from it.
The moment it was poured into his mouth and touched his tongue, however, a feeling as if he was soaking in a comfortable hot spring transmitted throughout his tongue. It was such a delightful experience that he felt like he would've moaned if he wasn't someone with great control.
Taking another sip after a while, he continued the appreciation of the tea while passing his time of rest and relaxation.

A few hours later, finally being done with his rest, both Virus and the golden beauty entered the laboratory. They were finally about to begin the procedure of body creation.
