Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 168: 168: The Fool Kingdom

"So, why do you bring me here? I'm your goal, right? What the fuck do you even need with me?" Caleb took a deep breath and decided to get straight-forward to the point. He doesn't want to stay inside the mirror realm any longer with the knowledge that might get imprisoned here. Who knows how long would he be able to get out by then? Fifty years? Sixty?

Well, if that really happened. He'd rather commit suicide and reincarnate into another world. After all, those sixty or so years wasted were enough for him to thrive in another world and absorb a new power system. Still... He wants to stay in this world! There's a lot of interesting things here and he still wants to explore the mysteries regarding the city and this world!

For example, he hasn't fully unearthed the other abilities of the shadow path yet. What if he died and got reincarnated to another world? Wouldn't that mean he won't be able to access the recipes needed to advance on the shadow path? At least, he wants to ascend to tier 6 or even 4 as much as he can. After all, that would be enough to let him obtain a foothold in other subsequent worlds he would find himself in.

He would have a great start and capital to not worry about what kind of environment he would find himself in with the next reincarnations. After all, tier 6-4 of any Destiny path is nothing to scoff at!

Secondly, the vampires. He really wants to know what the fuck is going on with those bloodsucking fools. He wants to obtain their power and abilities, or the energy they use. Caleb doesn't have an issue with becoming a vampire in this world since when he dies, he would just be human again in his next reincarnation whilst still retaining the power and abilities of vampires. In simple terms, he would become a human that has vampiric powers! Though, it would be a real problem if even his race was retained.

As for ethical considerations and existential crisis?? Fuck! He was already numb to these shits. After all, in the face of the existence of time slime, and him becoming eternal. Vampire?? This issue was just an ant in front of the ones he was facing. Of course, no matter what race he becomes, in his heart and soul, he would still be a human. That's what's important, isn't it?

Thirdly, the history of this world. Although doing so would make the ruling class of this world his enemy. He intends to do it once he becomes strong enough. He wants to see what the damn royal family or the aristocrats of this world were hiding. Once he attains or reaches the realm of tier 6 or 4 of Shadow Path, coupled with grade 4 or at least 5 taboo fighter realm... He would become more armed and confident to face anyone! Well, that is as long as the gods of this world don't come down themselves to kill him.

Since he was a grade 2 taboo fighter now and about to become grade 3. He just needs a few more years to accumulate taboo energy units to become grade 4 or 5. Once he did, accumulating contribution points for other recipes would become easier with his strength. It was a damn synergy that will increase his efficiency of progressing to a path to power. In simple terms, a snowballing effect!

Isn't it wonderful? The combination of two power systems gives him such efficiency and strength. So, what if he gets another eight or even ten power systems? Won't he become unstoppable at that time!?

Fourthly, the gods. Yes, he wants to meet the so-called Gods of this world such as the Sun God, the God of Storm, and so on. However, he knew that meeting them accompanied certain risks. He doubts that he can resist them even if he reaches tier 2 of the shadow path in the future. It might be that the so-called God was just the tier 0 of each of the seven paths. It's just his guess, though. Until there's no proof, speculation will remain speculation.

Why does he want to meet them, though? Well, who doesn't want to see Gods in person or even fight them? Of course, he would only do such a thing after he finished all his agendas in the world. When everything was done and he had nothing to lose anymore.

How would he meet them?? Well, as long as his existence threatens their interest. He didn't even need to find them. They would just come to him themselves. Of course, the premise was he had the strength to shake their interest.

And lastly, the Homunculus and Apokalips. How to obtain the power of Homunculus? Why did they become who they were? What is the origin of Apokalips? These questions... He still wants answers to them to expand his horizons.

"You really hurt my feelings, my friend. Well, at least you finally responded." Shu placed his hands on his back and looked at the scouts and Apokalips under his command with a neutral expression. "Everyone is just a bigger ant, you know? You want to know why you're my purpose all along? Well, that's a lie...

Originally, the purpose was to spy on this kingdom and obtain information as much as possible. Kill scouts as many as I can. Then I would relay the information that I obtain in my kingdom!"

'Fuck!? What!???' Caleb didn't know if he heard it right. In a daze, he couldn't but blurt out. "Your kingdom?"

Shu nodded with a stoic eye. "Yes, Johan. There are other kingdoms outside yours. There are a few kingdoms that survived the invasion, including the Fool Kingdom, where I came from... I know why you're confused. It's the ruling class hiding it from the public. They don't want the civilians to know that there are still kingdoms out there. Why? Well, you need to find out yourself."

I'll be damned! Caleb took a deep breath as he tried to calm the chaos in his mind. This is an info dump! Too much info!

The fool kingdom? Other kingdoms? Still, that doesn't explain what Shu wants from him.
