Chapter 276: Genesis and Apocalypse 5 (1/2)

‘So the real identity of my Cultivation Grandpa is the clone of Lucifer…I just knew that transmigration must’ve have come with some kind of benefit…it’s been waiting here for me all this while! Great, just watch me soar to the heavens now with this feather. If God dares to block me, I’ll kill him; if Buddha dares to hinder me, I’ll murder him!’

My heart pounded furiously as my shaking hands reached out to grab the purple feather. The moment my fingers brushed against the mote of light enveloping the feather, it rapidly dissolved, exposing the feather which dissolved as just as rapidly and mysteriously into my fingers…

‘Hold on, where’s the divine weapon I was promised…why the heck is it dissolving into my body? Also…are you telling me that I have another ancestor living in my body now?’

Before I could even ponder this question any longer, I was suddenly beset by a rush of heat that you would expect just before an evolution; the kind where your first instinct would be to rush into the freezer.

This time however, the heat had clearly exceeded all of my previous expectations. It was as if my entire body was about to melt –and it did just that, starting with my hand! Like molten wax, what used to be a part of my hand started to drip downwards…next was my hair, my golden colored horn, my nose…by the time I recovered from the shock of seeing my hand melt, it was too late. With no body to support the weight of my armor, it naturally fell to the floor with a deafening clang. At the same time, what remained of my body dropped to the floor with a floop, like a pile of mud.

REPORT AD

It had to be said that the word ‘mud’ wasn’t just some kind of expression, my body was literally a pile of mud-like goo right now.

Despite all that however, my consciousness was still active. Even without my body, I could feel the scorching heat running wild within me. It wasn’t a pain that burned the flesh, rather it assaulted my soul directly…

‘Am I going to die again…how many times does this make? Blast it, I thought he said he was going to give me a reward, how it did that end with me dying…what’s going on here?! Is he trying to ninja the loot or something? Regret…I don’t want to die…I still need to find Nicole…I want to find out the truth from Yi Yi…Numila…my baby girl…and Roscar too…what about my companions and subordinates who have supporting me all this while…also…’

Just as I was in the middle of cursing my decision to come here, my eyes went black…

Within the endless void, there was no flow of time to speak of. By the time I opened my eyes and confirmed that I was still standing before the clone of Lucifer, I wasn’t even sure how much time had passed.

‘I’m not…dead? Thank god I’m not a rash person…else I would have kicked that stupid Fallen Angel in his immortal rear. Even though it technically doesn’t exist…’

Before I could even confirm if all my limbs were intact, I heard the taunting voice of that statue boom from high above me. Even without looking at his face which was still covered by vines, I could clearly tell that he was laughing at me.

“I bet you thought you were dying just now.”

“That’s right, I really thought that I was dead back there.” In front of such a powerful being, there really wasn’t much point in hiding my thoughts so I said my piece fearlessly, transmitting not just my words but my attitude at the same time. Essentially, I was saying that I nearly dropped the F-bomb right there and then.

The statue didn’t seem to mind my sass at all and instead laughed in a bemused manner: “You, little fellow, sure have some interesting expressions. If it was those other brats, they would have probably kept it locked up in their hearts no matter how much they hated me. They know very well that I might just kill them in a fit of dissatisfaction. Just based on that point alone, I can say that you are an interesting kid.”

‘It’s not me who is interesting, it’s you who has been too lonely over these past 80 000 years. That’s why you think everyone is interesting.’

Because of that dizzy spell, I was still a little lost about the time. Thus, I had no choice but to ask the only other person here: “May I know how much time has passed?”

“An hour.”

“An hour?” ‘That’s all? I honestly thought that half a month had passed or something, or at least a week.’

“Mhm, how long did you think you were out for?”

“I…just fainted, how would I know…oh right, Almighty Lucifer, what about my companions…can you release them?”

Unfortunately for me, the fondness he showed to me only extended to me and not the others. “They have no right to see me.” A clear and crisp rejection, with no room for negotiation whatsoever. With how hard he slapped that answer in my face, even striking my face with a rod wouldn’t have been so painful. That cold arrogance oozing out of his words were such that even a single second more wasted on those he deemed unworthy would be asking too much of him.

REPORT AD

In truth, I wasn’t all that surprised by his reaction. The fact that he even treated me well was probably because I was useful to him, and also because I was Yi Yi’s fiance. Had it not been for that, he probably wouldn’t have talked to me at all.
