Chapter 173 - Parallel Evolution (1/2)
As the Occult Domain implantation process had undergone a steady pace, an atypical dweller had been interrogated and tortured for an information.
”So is that all?”
”Yes! That's all of it!”
Within one of the natural caves formed somewhere within Domeniul Ceresc, was a kappa being hanged with a rope bondage in a professional pattern where a bystander could severely misunderstand the context if anybody were to see them.
The kappa was also severely scarred mentally from all of the torture and abuse that it had gone through. Some of his scales were charred from the constant lightning being thrown by the angry greater wisp.
”So you're actually a refugee that came from an illusionary hidden world called the Fumeikyo? The fact that you didn't mention it in your first time infiltrating this holy land is questionable in the eyes of the Almighty.” Ain tightened the rope connected to the formation circuit that he had casted, if he were ought to have a face, he would be grinning.
Ain was by no means liking this kind of thing—maybe he was.
”I want to repent myself!” The kappa shouted, his face was full of conflict and his eyes were disoriented. Although, the self thought within his mind said otherwise, 'Hehehe, I'm almost at my ninety nine percent upon acquiring my Parallel Evolution! Just you wait! You prideful lump of spark!'
”Domeniul Ceresc won't tolerate any kind of fabricator for its citizens,” said the professional fabricator. ”A Youkai like thee has proven to be rather knowledgeable about building a shrine.
”To repent, I want you to create the grandiose version of it. You hid your own real capability and although the Supreme One accepted any kind of offering, especially if it came in the form of determination and droplets of tears and sweats, the Benevolent One would wash your sin if your faith was heightened into a new enlightenment.”
At first, the sentence from the greater wisp seemed normal until the kappa realized that Ain knew he had been hiding his real skill in constructing the shrine that he made in a willy-nilly manner, just because of the fear of getting kicked out.
The kappa did feel grateful after seeing the owner of this land was giving him a stack of cucumbers.
With a nervous beak, the kappa asked, ”How did you know that I hid my capability…?”
”You purposely made the carving look terrible instead of doing your best. I saw you managed to carve a perfect shape before destroying the symmetry with an extra unnecessary touch, rendering the whole shrine looks entrant.”
”Umueh…”
As Ain spectated the scared kappa, he noticed that there was a disturbance somewhere at the east where some of the Forest Dwellers managed to get themselves into conflict. His nature had him enticing him to solve every problem within the Domeniul Ceresc as much as he could. So knowing that the kappa wouldn't go anywhere, he immediately departed to the location without saying a single word.
