Chapter 739 Who Are You?!
Chapter 739 Who Are You?!
-----
Frank's mind was confused. He had only come to this world out of an accident, he had just wanted to create a Monster Pet Nursery to keep his monster pets there and more… at the end, he ended being transported to the world of Gaia by the powers of this building, which was connected to this world.
Back then, he never thought about it too deeply. However, the Emperor revealed to be someone that knew him but at the same time had missing memories? Just who was he and how did he knew about his father and even him? He even knew right away that he came from another world, and also he spoke about Fate, as if Fate itself had somehow aligned for this moment.
He spoke about a Key to other worlds where… pieces of himself were scattered, very similarly to his own, but at the same time, these pieces had become people which somehow were communicating with him between worlds and were all plotting… something about opening a key to the worlds within a "Cosmic Map"!
Frank was processing all of this information as much as he could and began to quickly draw some conclusions without letting his words get the better off him by growing too desperate or crazy. But it seemed that the bastard wasn't letting him think straight, as he constantly attacked him more and more.
"How about we work together?!" He roared. "You don't have to fight with me… That I somehow had a rivalry with your father or something doesn't have anything to do with you!" The Emperor said, as his darkness continued to grow deeper and larger, his Aura was already visible outside the entire Arena and continued to grow stronger. He was already within the level of a god or beyond.
"Work… together?!" Asked Frank. "What did you do to my father?! A-Are you the one that forced him to go away from me and my mother's life?!" Frank asked desperately, as the Emperor suddenly increased his speed, reaching him instantly and swinging his blade at him, slicing him in half!
SLAAAASH!
"I told you I don't remember a single thing… Except that you're just as gullible as your father… I can't believe the same thing worked with the son!" Laughed the Emperor, pointing his hands at Frank's clone sliced body, as he suddenly began to attempt to devour him!
"You bastard!!!" Roared Frank furiously, as his divided soul suddenly wrapped around the Emperor's body, as he attempted to parasitize him, but it seemed futile! The powerful soul of this man was already within a level beyond what Frank could even affect, it felt as if he was trying to devour something that couldn't even be pierced by his fangs… it felt as if he was punching a wall of solid diamond! His soul… exuded the power of cosmic energy as well… and somehow, it was very similar to his own as well?!
"W-What… are you?!" Asked Frank once more, filled with disbelief. He suddenly noticed a strange blue-colored stone showing many stars inside, which was boosting the Emperor's Phantom Clone power beyond belief… this stone was…
<br/>"T-That's a materialized part of my Overseer powers?!" Thought Frank, realizing that one of the sources of the Emperor's incredible might was his very fragment of power.
"Curious?" Asked the Emperor. "Yeah, it has the same scent as your own soul… I figured out it was something powerful… It is not my own soul fragment, but very similar! I found it long ago, and it had what I told you was the Cosmic Map! Does this piece belongs to you? Hah! Just like this stone, I'll consume your power as well!"
The Emperor quickly overpowered Frank's clone, devouring him completely… However! Frank decided to detonate that clone, as the Emperor suddenly blew away!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
The enormous explosion broke apart the ceiling and most of the area of the arena where he was, covering him in countless debris… However, the Emperor quickly stood from there, his entire darkness quickly gathered and materialized once more into his entire body.
"Hahh… He let go of a lot of his power… Still, I got a sizable amount of it." He said. As he checked his own power, he realized it had increased by a small amount. However, this was a mere clone of Frank. The Emperor quickly looked around, as he found out the presence of Arthur quite far away from him… chasing him down would be rather annoying, and he also had to retrieve the things he wanted from here.
He quickly turned into a shadow and traveled inside the arena, looking for the prized item that was going to be rewarded in this tournament, the Time Stone. But why was this item so prized for him? Primarily, Frank wanted it to make Ryujin grow up! But what… did the Emperor wanted with it?
"Because the time of each world runs differently and separately, I can use the Time Stone to stabilize the time of each world together into this world's time, making it possible for the gate to open successfully…" He thought. "After that, those other versions of my own self within the world where the Guardian originates from will open the gates to the Realm of the Outer Gods, my prized allies… Together, we can finally begin my true resurrection. Of course, the resurrection of the demon is nothing but another piece of my own self, with him, I'll be able to finally regain my memories!" The Emperor planned everything within his old and cunning mind, moving swiftly across the Arena's debris, seeking the prized stone.
Meanwhile, within the Arena's interior, Frank's eyes opened wide for a few seconds, as he realized that his clone failed and died, but at the very least, he managed to get a lot of information from this Emperor… his true identity was not that of a mere human from this world, but a being that had apparently been living for many years in here and had been plotting an incredible scheme that involved several other worlds…
