Rise of The Anti God

Chapter 542 - Time For The Forsaken To Forever Get Forsaken!

Damien knew by now Ruthren must have realized that he must have done something to Yohr no matter how absurd it seemed. At least he would want to investigate things by himself now that he can't even get hold of Yohr.

But what angered him was that this son of a bitch was blackmailing him with his own daughter by saying that he would offer her protection as long as he surrendered to him.

Irene couldn't help but feel worried, wondering whether Damien would fall for this obvious trap, while Reva only looked at him with a soft smile as if she already knew what his answer was.

And as she expected, Damien looked at Ruthren and said, "You are right. I have feelings for your daughter, and I love her more than my own life. But I don't need your permission or favor to live like a prince since I am going to live like an emperor after I get rid of you. Then I will take your daughter along with me anyway as well."

*Crack*

Ruthren unconsciously clenched his fists, and even one of the bones of his fingers cracked under the pressure since he felt as if Damien threw a  hot pile of shit right at his face.

Even Reva couldn't help but have her cheeks become slightly red, seeing how domineering her lover's words were, especially when he said it aloud to her father right before everyone.

Nobody could have humiliated the Xeton Emperor more than this, and the imperial army had flabbergasted expressions on their faces, wondering why they were feeling a bit of awe for this young man who was their enemy as well.

But they immediately stiffened their expressions lest their emperor sees them and crushed their measly lives for offending him in the slightest.

"Oh, that boy…he never ceases to amaze me," Irene mumbled, feeling that her granddaughter picked the right man after all.

Ruthren's eyes became hard and cold as he said in a cutting tone, "Is that so? The tongue doesn't have any bones, and so you can spout nonsense to anyone. But if you really have the guts to become an emperor, why don't you come out of the barrier and say the same thing right in front of me? I don't want to tire my neck looking down at you."

Damien narrowed his eyes and subtly smirked as a jet-black projection of lightning shot out from his body and flew to the skies and outside the barrier!

The projection of lightning appeared right above Ruthren within a second and coalesced together to form Damien's appearance, much to the shock of every one since they could see another Damien in the same spot he was before, helping Reva with the ethereal formations.

How the hell could he be at two places at once, doing different things? The projection of jet-black lightning also had the same aura as Damien's, and they would have been unable to distinguish who was the real one if it were not for witnessing the jet-black projection of lightning emerging out of his body.

Reva, for a moment, felt as if her heart dropped but realizing that the original Damien was still right in front of her, working on the ethereal formations, she couldn't help but give him a slight glare for scaring her out of her wits for a moment there.

She wanted to ask him how he did it but thought that it could wait till they get out of here first.

Even Irene was ready to send Damien back into the barrier, thinking that he got his ego hurt by Ruthren and fell for the trap, only to see how wrong she was.

Damien's lightning projection had arrived before a slightly confused Ruthren, who was tilting his head upwards to look at Damien.

Before he could say anything, Damien spoke in a tone loud enough for everyone to hear in the region, "Now, even if I am tiring my neck by looking down at you, I don't think it will make a difference if I say you are a dick from within the barrier or from here. But if you want the world to realize it again by hearing from me…sure. Satisfied now? I will be going now," Damien did a sarcastic salute as his figure diffused into thin air before disappearing completely.

"What the…" The golden armored commander standing behind Ruthren couldn't help but stare at the spot where Damien disappeared with his mouth wide open, his expression baffled.

"Phew…" Damien let out a tired sigh as a bead of sweat trickled down his forehead since what he did was not easy. In fact, he didn't even know it would work but just did it instinctively.

After gaining the Azure Origin Seed, Damien realized that even if he didn't inherit Yohr's ethereal arts, he inherited the native abilities or powers of Yohr, though he still was unable to learn them all.

But one of them was the ability to project an ethereal clone of himself that would look real. However, there was more to this ability than just that, but for now, he was only proficient enough to do what he just did by using his lightning as well to project his clone right above Ruthren.

The men of the imperial army finally witnessed a different expression on their usually indifferent emperor…an expression of helplessness! 

They saw how he was unable to do anything when Damien appeared right above him and called him a…dick!

Not in the history of the Xeton Empire did any of the emperors even in the past have to face such humiliation, especially when it was caused by a junior.

"Irene…it must be quite tiring for you by now to maintain that ethereal manifestation, isn't it?" Ruthren asked in a frigid tone as he slowly looked at her, making Irene feel a great sense of trepidation since he was right. She was burning her vast ethereal energy every second to maintain the huge water-swan below her.

Ruthren continued as his sky-blue eyes shone with a sinister glint, "Then it's time for the Forsaken to forever get forsaken!"
