Chapter 582 Defiance
Chapter 582 Defiance
The king stared at David and suddenly began walking towards him. "Leave us."
"Yes, your highness." The young man swing his blade and a tear appeared in space as he walked in with the spatial tear closing behind him.
David's pupils constricted. Alexander's comprehension of the space law was being anything he had ever seen. Apart from teleporting short distances, David has no idea what to do with his low comprehension of space law.
The king stopped just a few centimetres away from David. And gazed at him in the eye.
"Server the mate connection you have with her. Seeing as you haven't marked her, she won't die." His voice was normal, as though he was saying something casual.
David couldn't move, but his eyes revealed the defiance within them.
"I'm amazed by you, to say the least, but you aren't close to the ideal king I want on my throne once I'm gone."
David struggled, managing to open his mouth as he squeezed out his words.
"Per-Persephone wouldn't want that. Hmm." David groaned as he felt the restraint in his body increase by another fold.
The King's expression never change, the slight smile he had on his face remained as he stared at David as though looking through him.
"She will if she truly knows who you are, Traveller."
The entire realm seem to go silent and David felt as though a lightning bolt had struck him through his brain. He felt the restraint on him loosened and the king started walking through the desert.
But David wasn't relieved he had been released, instead he started to panic. And as much as his heart wanted to leap out of his chest, he managed to control his body.
"So that's the talent you acquired as a Traveller? It's quite interesting." The King's voice sounded from afar.
David's teeth clenched as he followed behind him. "I don't know what you are talking about."
The king turned around and faced David squarely "I never repeat myself, boy. You know what I'm talking about."
He resumed walking as he continued. "Truthfully speaking, I have nothing against you being a Traveller. While there might be a devious or rather good Misson for being reincarnated, it's none of my business. I promised my daughter she could marry any one of her mates as long as she loves him but you, you are just too weak and sadly will remain so." The king shook his head slightly as he explained.
"I didn't know False God's possess the ability to predict the future." David replied with clenched teeth.
Persephone's father chuckled. "Some do, but I'm not one of them."
"So how do you know I will remain weak? The future isn't set for anyone of us. Five years ago, I knew nothing about Phasers, and nothing about this world either but now, killing those within the early Atman would only prove slightly troublesome. No one is a match for me in the same realm."
The King kept silent upon listening to David's words. Suddenly, he turned around, his expression cold as he said. "You might be talented more than others, but do you think your talent is something rare within the worlds? I dare say there are a million talents more better than yours.
Do you have any ideas what realm she was in when her mother gave birth to her? An Integrated Phaser at birth! So I don't care about your talent, if I did, I would have married her off to Alexander, he was born a Phaser. If Persephone decides to marry you, then that is her decision and I will stick to it. Even with no talent at all, raising your strength with a few resources is a minor matter, therefore you can protect yourself when your enemies come for you. Or Persephone could protect you if you prefer it" The King took in a deep breath and continued walking as he shrugged.
David frowned deeply, but his spirits was not lowered. " But?"
The King tilted his head. "But you've been marked by someone. Therefore, I need you to break the mate connection before it gets too deep. I don't want her dying in the case of your death."
Hearing the word marked, an image of a wolf King flashed within David's memory. He gritted his teeth. "I will take care of it, just give me a little time."
"Take care of it?" The King chuckled. "You won't even be able to reach the Atman realm given a thousand years and you hope to defeat a Demigod?"
"Reaching the Atman realm is only a matter of-"
"Don't day time boy. A few thousand years may mean nothing to me, but I need grandchildren within a year or two. I can't have you delaying that for me. Moreover, its impossible for you to reach The Atman."
"Why do you keep saying that?" David's face turn sour and his voice rose slightly.
"Did no one tell you? Or the powerhouses within this realm fail to witness your birth? Oh well, their strength is diminishing by the day, they might have failed to notice your presence. As an Invader the will of this world will never recognise you, restricting you, making you unable to break through to the Atman realm. The difficulty will increase to about a hundred fold and the wind, earth, fire, water and thunder will swallow you whole. The trial will certainly kill you."
That was new information to David. He had never once thought that his identity as a reincarnated would be discovered so easily by Persephone's father and the information about the difficulty of advancement went up by about a hundred times.
David lowered his head and remained silent for quite some time. After what seemed to be forever, he made up his mind.
"I appreciate you telling me this, and I know you are concerned for your daughter and you love her, but I also do love her and she's my mate
Therefore I won't cut ties with her unless she does so herself."
The King paused in his steps and his figure started to fade like a puff of smoke. He had been a sort of clone or just so fast that his after image was very realistic.
"You will regret this." The King's voice brushed his ears as they fade with the wind.
David was now alone, but his expression wasn't looking too good at the moment. While there might be a possibility that the King was lying, but why would he lie to him.
There was no way to be sure, but it was still in the distant future. David shook his head, he wasn't going to think about it and discourage himself. He would go strong and when he reach Demigod realm, he will seek the Wolf King and kill him.
But first, he needs to survive the poison spreading in his body. He could have asked the king for help, or the guard. But David has his own pride and while he might save his life, saving face seems to matter more to him.
But, David had no strength at all to remove the poison. There was no hope for him and the only thing he could do was either go to the Hunter's family, or exchange the Unity Technique for the removal of the poison, but who is to say they wouldn't kill him to keep the technique safe or tamper with his body. Either way, he was doomed. This was a risk David wasn't willing to take.
He brought out a tent from his storage ring and brought out the world orb and started to refine it out of boredom. He wasn't dispirited nor was he in despair. This was a rather perfect place to die.
Time went by and within an hour, David was done refining the world orb. With a dull expression, he took hold of the entire realm.
Massive amounts of clouds roiled and gathered above David's head, forming a face that was closely similar to David's.
The face blinked expressionlessly as it move around the realm, scouring through millions of kilometers while just sitting within his tent.
Suddenly, David stopped. Below the God Cell, he noticed something odd underneath the God Cell.
With his will, the ground rumbled and started to shift and the God cell was carried away by the earth. Within the tent, the ground moved and within the blink of an eye, David was before the ground where the God Cell stood.
A massive storm rose and the ground started to shift, unveiling what was hidden within.
Suddenly, David saw the shape of a tomb and his digging increased as he willed the storm to blow away the sand without touching him.
The wind suddenly halted and the sound of David's footstep rang out as he appeared before the things before him.
Before he laid more than a hundred tombstone. David's heart started raising as he got nearer to the stones. Using his only hand, he shifted the lid and his heart thumped!
