Chapter 302 - 255 : Finding a Ra (1/2)

”I remember six of them, their faces are engraved in my mind. As for those acting behind the shadows, I'll be able to find them too, when I finish them all then it'll be her turn. I want her to feel cornered, helpless and betrayed, a revenge is never sweet if it isn't done the right way.”

Although he was talking about those who tortured him and caused him to love a life worse than even a lab rat, Arthur's voice was relaxed and his expression was calm.

It's like he was stating a fact and not speaking of what'll happen in the future. Lucy nodded her head in confirmation, no matter how he wants to pay back his debts, she'll forever support him. She even found some of the culprits and have a firm lock on Claudia, who is clueless about their relationship.

In fact, Claudia would never expect Arthur to be alive, from her perspective, he died on that fateful day and he had been 'properly' buried while she took control of his companies and wealth.

The couple talked for a bit more as Arthur wanted to know about some people from the past. Who lived and who died, who are the people in charge and what is exactly the IHO.

All in all, he came to know a few things but they weren't crucial or threatening to him. Even the so-called IHO or the 'preaching monks' of the East that Lucy mentioned weren't particularly powerful.

Surprisingly, there's an old monk living in China who managed to train with Qi before the Earth changed and when the dungeons appeared and the environment had a drastic change, this elder managed to benefit greatly and reached Spirit Realm.

Apart from him, there were no earthling who is strong, they're all at the Mortal Realm.

”That isn't right, 'X' should have someone monitoring the place.”

The copy, who kept his silence for a long time now, finally talked when Lucy mentioned the lack of any mysterious individuals.

'He shouldn't necessarily be hiding on Earth, he could be roaming the space, just like that guy Snory.'-Arthur

”No, 'X' isn't a person who does thing half-heartedly, neither are his subordinates. Whoever was sent here can definitely hide and most likely knows about Lucy and co, he or her probably never acted due to Snory, who wouldn't permit a battle of Gods or Sovereigns occurring on Earth.”

'Then what about Snory, who do you think he is? How about his Strength?'

Due to the silence of his copy and him being preoccupied, he couldn't ask his copy about this mysterious old man who is always sleeping on the moon. From the way Lucy talked about him, he's insanely strong to the point that even in with her current power, she had zero confidence in defeating him, let alone kill him. Fortunately, Snory is friendly and isn't the type to run around killing people.

”I'm not sure but he's probably 'Sloth', one of the Seven Deadly Sins.”

'They actually exist?'

”Of course they do. They originated from the Heaven and Hell Universe and most of them still live there and serve the Devil Lord. Sloth is one of the exceptions, he's the oldest amongst them, he left Hell and started working for the System about fifty thousand years ago. Why he did such a thing still remains a mystery to people but I have a few guesses. Anyway, if it's really Sloth then you better not cross him, it's definitely not someone you can defeat, I doubt even 'X' could match him.”

'As long as he doesn't go out of his way to attack us then I'll remain passive too.'-Arthur

”Don't give me that shit. You'll do nothing even if he attacks, heck! You won't be able to do shit if he seriously attacks you. Don't go around making enemies, also he's known to be friendly so maybe try becoming friends. Befriending one of the Seven Deadly Sins can bring you countless benefits.”

'Alright alright! No need to start nagging me!'

Arthur let out a helpless sigh and recounted Lucy about his short conversation with his copy. With Lucy sitting next to it, Arthur stood cross-legged while closing his eyes, he was going to try and find the hiding individual sent by 'X'.

If the target is hiding on Earth then he'll definitely sense him with some effort, what he must be careful about is not being found out by the other party.

His stats allow him to be almost unstoppable in the Sovereign Realm, with Lucy by his side, even a half-God Monarch can be defeated so there's nothing to fear.

Furthermore, the copy assured Arthur that there's no way 'X' sent a God Monarch to monitor this place. The System won't allow a Monarch from another Universe to come and go as he pleases.

There was a strong chance that it's a Sovereign, as for its exact Realm, then it remains unknown, unfortunately.

The Sovereign Realm isn't divided into grades like the previous Realms but is split into three phases. The first one is called 'Little Sovereign', the second is 'Fusion Sovereign' and the last phase is 'High Sovereign'.

What the Sovereign is all about is actually fusing with one's God Spirit. At the first phase, the cultivator starts absorbing the traits of his/her God Spirit and at the next phase, its 'Essence Absorption' where the God Spirit start integrating into the cultivator's body.

The last phase is just consolidating the fusion and making it more stable and stronger.
