Chapter 636 - 581: Shen Shen (2/2)

”Yes, master. Whatever she used a few seconds ago can defeat Immortals. I also sense the Water of Origin from her.”

'Water of Origin? What is that?'

”It's Water created by Dmitra. It's just like the wood used to make the box which held the sword given to you by Timos. While Wood symbolizes defense and sturdiness, Water is all about flexibility and clarity. Its healing powers are even superior to your Life Energy. Actually, when she reaches the God Realm, she can produce special droplets called Origin Water Droplets. They can cure crippled Meridians and destroyed Dantian and significantly and drastically increased one's cultivation.”

'What about the other two titles?'

”I don't know the first one but the third one is unimaginably rare. In fact, ever since everything came into existence, there has only been two other people which had the Eternal Blue Soul. It's a special kind of soul which affects the holder's Physique and consciousness. When they reach a certain age, their body will obtain the Silent Water King Physique. Additionally, the talent of those in possession of the Eternal Blue Soul is unparalleled, even the Madam's prodigious feats cannot compare. An Overgod or above can easily discover the soul and if they discover her, they'll surely want to get their hands on her. In case she doesn't die, she'll become an Exalted God Within a century, at most, and that is if she cultivate normally without any assistance… I wonder what's her origin.”

The Quad-spirit sounded amazed and even a bit jealous. As an existence which defies the logic, its affinity with Earth, Water, and Death is at its peak but it couldn't held but envy this girl called Shen Shen.

Arthur remained silent as he internally talked to the spirit so Vyncent became a bit restless. He briefly remained silent before saying:

”Can you help us leave this place?”

Before the parasite could reply, Shen Shen stomped her feet and said: ”Hey! Why are you asking him for help? He looks like a bad guy!”

It's truly a shame that Timos, the one who raised her in the past few months, didn't talk very much about parents, especially their appearances. He did say that her father was a parasite but she had no way of knowing if Arthur was a parasite or if he's the person the Black Devil talked about.

”Little Lady, you shouldn't talk like that to your seniors.”

Shen Shen crossed her small arms and turned her face to the side, unwilling to converse with the stranger anymore. This led to a chuckle to escape Arthur's lips as he tried to probe her with his sense for the nth time only to fail… again.

Seeing that Arthur completely ignored him, Vyncent bit his lips but didn't insist. He grabbed the girl's hands and was about to leave only to hear the parasite say:

”There's an angel troupe coming from that direction.”

The young man's abruptly halted, he spread his sense but couldn't sense anything, though he didn't dare to doubt Arthur's words, after all, he had seen what this terrifying man is capable of.

”We escaped Riarravar together so perhaps the same fate shall befall us here…”

Arthur said his piece before raising his hand and unleashing a large quantity of hell flame which turned the trees and bushes into ash and alerted the angels not far away. Within a few seconds, the trio was surrounded by dozens of angels, all fully armored and very strong. Actually, the weakest amongst them emitted a pressure similar to an Immortal Cultivator.

The method of strengthening in the Heaven and Hell Universe is much more complicated compared to the Cloud Sea or the System Universe. The angels, especially, relied on Commandment, and the more they got, the stronger they are. Arthur doesn't know much but the little bit of knowledge he has allowed him to gauge their strength and determine if they're a threat or not.

Currently, his aura was that of a Divine Being and none of the angels suspected anything, still, they raised their weapon and pointed them at the three invading strangers.

”On your knees!”

They didn't even question them and demanded they surrender on the spot. Anyone caught in this place will be imprisoned regardless of their identity. It's a place prohibited for travelers and the consequences of getting caught are not to scoff at.

Seeing the angels all around him, Vyncent grit his teeth and got on his knees while throwing a blaming glance at the parasite. Shen Shen was more stubborn but when the pressure of the angels fell down on her, she surrendered too. In less than an hour, they were caught and quickly transported to the prison but since they didn't fight back and were judged not to be a real threat, they were put on the first underground floor, where most of the common criminals are.

***********

Unbeknownst to Arthur, the moment he set foot in the prison, there was one person who sensed his arrival and became exhilarated. The woman bound on the deepest floor burst into happy laughter, her body was shaking from excitement and she could barely hold herself from breaking free and going to meet him right now.

”Ah! My dear! You've finally come.”

A seductive and enchanting smile plastered on her breath-taking face as her sense locked onto the unknowing parasite. Zaarae, the parasite Empress, knew the reason Arthur came here but she couldn't help but feel incredibly impatient. As for the twins locked onto the adjacent cell, they maintained their silence but both felt their master's aura albeit its faintness.

Above the unrecognizable human continent of Astria, which now but a bottomless abyss filled with eternal fire and raging waters, a graceful figure scanned this destroyed place before taking out a clear sky-blue crystal covered in white flames.

Katrina actually managed to find Astria, her daughter's homeworld and personally came here without being noticed. She poured all of her Nether Energy into the crystal, which caused her surrounding to rapidly starting changing, or more accurately, reverting back as the flow of time was broken.

In just a few seconds, a peaceful continent manifested itself in front of the Matriarch, who disappeared into white steam, appearing somewhere south-east.

”Show me, Eva, what really happened for you to become like this.”

What she had used with the Divine artifact of the White Specter Clan, something that would allow the user to see past events of all the white specters. However, the cost to use for a prolonged amount of time is very great, sometimes even fatal. Nonetheless, Katrina didn't care as she was wanted to know why did Lucy reject her so vehemently.
