Chapter 284 – Florida Man's 'Ruff' Day: Takes Home 'Abandoned Puppy,' Turns Out to Be Ohio Kid

One punch, two punches, five punches, ten punches, a hundred punches, every attack was faster than the speed of light. However, nothing connected.

The same applied to Simba's attacks. Despite wielding an abnormally long sword, none of his attacks, punches, or kicks landed. He even mixed in a domain ability, which had the same effect as Leo's sword domain, yet Leo instantly threw a counter punch, which forced him to recall the domain to protect himself.

Both men weaved, vanished, and teleported on the platform, testing each other's limits and fighting patience.

Simba grumbled in frustration as he was at a disadvantage. Leo already undid his time domain, but Simba was forced to maintain a cubic barrier. Even though it gradually drained Leo's life force to maintain the blockade, it was vulnerable to any domain-canceling attacks. If the barrier was destroyed, Simba's dantian would crack, which would lead to his demise.

After five minutes of close combat, Simba lost the chicken race. He removed the barrier domain before Leo could destroy it. Then, he teleported 1,000 meters to the sky.

But as soon as Simba removed the life force leeching domain, Leo's both phoenix wings transformed into a rainbow scythe. Taking a firm step forward, Leo swung the scythe and unleashed one of his many domain abilities.

The domain was invisible and undetectable. However, the big movement hinted that a big sophisticated attack was about to hit him.

Simba finally had a chance to use his bone sword. The long sword broke into 27 pieces like detachable razor blades, and all of them transformed into Simba.

SWUA!

Nine fake bodies of Simba instantly shattered to pieces. In addition, the detached razor blades dissipated into dust.

Simba squinted his eyebrows as he figured out what the previous attack was.

'A karma attack? Are you kidding me? A karmic sovereign attacking another karmic sovereign with a karma domain? Is he stupid? No karmic sovereign can die even if their karma strings are cut. We're the absolute existence exceeding the laws of the universe! I guess his foundation is lacking. After all, he just appears out of nowhere.'

Simba scoffed at Leo for being inexperienced in combat against a fellow karmic sovereign. He took his time and pulled out another piece of bone from his other hand to create another razor sword.

But Leo ignored Simba's action. He adjusted his stance and swung his scythe at empty air.

SWUA!

Leo cut through dimension and created a crack in front of him. At the same time, another crack appeared directly above Simba's head and sliced down.

The crack in dimension cleaved Simba's real body in half from head to groin!

"!!!"

The crack in dimension sucked Simba's body and soul into the void. Simba immediately ejected his soul from his body, teleporting a kilometer away from the mysterious crack in dimension.

The cleaved body of Simba vanished into the dimensional crack before the mysterious portal disappeared.

Simba's soul regenerated his fleshly body anew. Then, he mumbled to himself.

'Time and Space Laws, Dimension Splitting Laws, Karma Cutting Laws, how many laws has he mastered?! No karmic sovereign has mastered more than two laws at once! If you cultivate multiple karma rivers, your lifespan capacity will decrease! Is he that dumb?! Or rather… is he using a system ability? Is that the case?'

He couldn't understand how Leo had mastered so many abilities. Still, as a system user, Simba believed that Leo cheated the natural laws and overly relied on the system.

'Since he's using a system ability, I can win. I can do… THIS!'

Simba ejected a fate crystal from his spatial ring – True Entity Fate Crystal!

Like how Leo merged seven earth fate crystals into one true earth fate crystal, Simba also merged seven entity fate crystals into a true entity fate crystal.

.

True Entity Fate Crystal

This crystal can only be created by merging seven Entity Fate Crystals. Any True Entity Fate Crystal can be used as a consumable item, a socket item for system facilities, or an imprint on a soul.

By crushing this crystal, the owner can erase all system abilities from a nearby system user who has obtained their system abilities from entity fate crystals or inferior crystals.

If it is equipped in a system facility or system equipment's socket, it will grant a random blessing to the facility or the equipment. In case it is used to imprint a soul, a unique system will be generated and imprinted to the karmic soul.

.

Despite owning a precious treasure, Simba never hesitated to spend one or two to eliminate his enemies. He grabbed the true entity fate crystal and was about to crush it.

Suddenly, Simba's hands lost all strength. He widened his eyes in shock as he sensed a hundred threads latching onto his fingers, arms, legs, and head like a puppet.

Behind Simba, Aslan rubbed his temples while he held a fishing rod, which bound his adopted son before he could damage Leo's foundations.

lightsn?v?l Simba also turned around and found the clone of Overlord Xiaomao. He instantly recognized the face of the golem. Then, he remembered that another golem on the platform also had the face of Mao Miaomiao.

"As I figured. You lots are into this together! There's no way Mao Miaomiao can get his hands on Overlord Xiaomao's blood essence without his help!"

Aslan deeply sighed, "Dammit, Simba. I gave you an entity fate crystal and sent you to Eleanor's side to hide you. I didn't send you there to JOIN her, you dumb kid!"

"!!!"

Simba was taken aback when Aslan's sound transmission entered his mind. Moreover, he was shocked that the sentient golem knew his real name.

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

Aslan rolled his eyes, "I'm your father."

"BULLSHIT! MY FATHER DIED AGES AGO!!"

Aslan shrugged and was about to explain everything. But when he noticed that Leo was about to charge at them, he cut the conversation short.

"How about you shut up and hide inside me for the time being? You're not supposed to fight your brother, you little shit."

"WHAT?!"

Aslan reeled his fishing rod. The lines and Simba's body shrank into a tiny grain of dust and entered Aslan's dantian universe.

.

.

WHOOSH

Leo arrived at Aslan's side. He looked around for a moment. Then, he stared at his subordinate.

"There you are, you lazy golem. Where is that dark elf?"

Aslan laughed, "I thought you were going to say the N-word for a second."

"I forgot about that word. Thanks for the unnecessary reminder. Anyway, where's that elf?"

Aslan giggled and lied, "I ate him. His soul is in my dantian universe now."

"…" Leo gave Aslan a meaningful look. He mumbled, "I wish I could press X to doubt you. You're very sus, do you know that?"

"You don't have to worry about my credibility and loyalty, master. I'm always on your side, like a father looking after his son."

"Yeah, right. What an irresponsible father. Ha!"

Leo rolled his eyes and shook his head. Despite the confession, Leo thought of it as sarcasm. He flew back to Florida Domain as the crisis was over.

Aslan deeply sighed and scratched his cheek. He wondered if his son purposely ignored the hints or if he was simply stupid.

Since Leo stopped paying attention to him, Aslan sank his consciousness to his dantian universe to check on his adopted son.

In Aslan's universe, every star system and galaxy was symmetrical like an art. 256 galaxies contained a total of 4,294,967,296 stars orbited around an abnormally large white sun at the center.

On the surface of the white sun, a civilization hid behind a curtain of flame. Crystalized minerals which immune to extreme heat were carved into square houses. Countless white flame spirits wandered about, minding their businesses.

Simba was tossed to the surface of the planet. The white flame immediately burnt away his disguise and Qi, revealing his true form of a jacked African-American man who seemed to be in his mid-20s.

Simba panicked when the white flame devoured all of his Qi. He struggled to take a step, but the extreme gravity of this planet pinned him to the ground. Moreover, the fate crystal in his hand slipped away and vanished into the planet.

Aslan descended from the void and landed next to Simba. His appearance didn't resemble Overlord Xiaomao like his 'Shell'. Instead, he appeared as a handsome blond-haired divine elf in white robes. He sat next to his son and laughed.

"Sorry for the untimely reunion, son. It has been 50,000 years, hasn't it?"

"You… who are you?" Despite being exhausted, Simba managed to utter a few words.

"Again, I'm your father."

"…Don't pretend. Mao Miaomiao and Eleanor killed my parents. You can be him."

"What if I purposely faked my death and hid my soul inside Leonardo?"

"…What?! Wait a minute."

Aslan gently pulled Simba off the ground and seated him. Then, he sat in front of his son.

"It's about time we have a heart-to-heart talk. There's a lot to explain, too. I don't blame you for the confusion, but for the sake of my grand plan, please cooperate with us."

Simba narrowed his eyes and gave Aslan a meaningful look. Upon noticing that the stranger was a divine elf, his killing intent locked onto Aslan.

"All elves are the same. You scheming bastards always toy with us. You're no different from Eleanor and her cronies!"

"Ah, yes. The blame," Aslan had a headache. He stood up and waved his hands, summoning a flame spirit.

One of the white flame spirits walked over. He bowed at Aslan and glanced at Simba.

Aslan ordered the spirit, "Transfer a fragment of my memory 50,000 years ago to this brat. Show him the full event of how I died as Aslan Ariel and reincarnated as 'Kitten', the clone of Overlord Xiaomao."

The spirit nodded. He transformed into a stream of white flame and disappeared into Simba's forehead.

"!!!"

Pictures of 50,000-year-old memories flashed in Simba's mind. A stream of knowledge followed along with vivid 3D scenes of events.

.

It was when Leo and Simba were still stuck in the lab as test subjects. At that time, Simba was barely two years old. However, countless substances had been injected into his veins.

Every day, Simba felt like dying. He always had a high fever. His stomach cramped while every fiber of his muscles was in pain. Even his bones cracked and broke daily.

Simba gave up living several times and waited for his death. However, someone gave him hope for living.

Next to his glass cage, a cute blond boy also went through the same ordeal, yet his face never showed a hint of being in pain. He dully stared at the adults like a doll.

At first, Simba was jealous of the boy. He thought that the boy didn't get tortured like him.

The boy was none other than Leo.

One day, Leo noticed Simba's existence. He suddenly smiled and waved his hands. Then, he picked up a crayon and started drawing doodles on the glass wall to communicate.

Simba couldn't even move at first, but the drawing interested him. He lay there in a blank room, staring at the weird drawing of Leo. The drawings soon became his beacon of light, which distracted him from the never-ending pain.

Days passed by. Simba forgot how long they were in that hell hole.

One day, a couple secretly entered Leo's cage and brought him out. At that time, Simba was still wide awake because of the stomach pain.

The commotion set off the alarm. Guards rushed in to apprehend the couple, but the elf in a lab coat slaughtered his way out.

Simba envied them. He thought that they were only there to rescue his neighbor.

But a miracle occurred. Leo screamed and pointed at Simba. He flailed his arms and legs while crying, refusing to leave.

The couple read the boy's thoughts and rushed into Simba's cage. When they brought Simba along, Leo stopped crying.

That was Simba's core memory. He remembered the face of his savior, who gave him hope.

The fleet of memories in Simba's mind suddenly paused and became static. A new memory overlapped with his.

The face of the male elf slowly became clearer. He started to resemble the divine elf in the dantian universe. Simba also learned of this man's identity.

He remembered the guy well.

Aslan Ariel, the Vice Chief Researcher of the Homunculus Project!

That man was Leo and Simba's father!
