Chapter 966 - A Confrontation
Chapter 966 - A Confrontation
"How come you are a cultivator when you are an original?" Arthur asked while closely watching the face of the beauty.
The beauty's face froze for a long minute. It looked like her mind went off and she was sleeping with her eyes wide open.
Yet the moment she regained her normal looks, she looked like a totally different person to Arthur.
"Originals? Do you mean those impudent filial creatures of this world?" The words she spoke made Arthur unable to speak for a second. "They are animals! Not worthy of my time or words!"
"…"
Arthur's mind stirred up to the max while he rechecked his connection again. Everything looked fine as his three threads of slavery were still holding the soul of that beauty to his will.
But everything else looked wrong!
"I… have to call off that idea for now," he dejectedly said and admitted this mistake. He didn't imagine his high hopes would be shattered in such a brutal way!
In fact he never expected any of this to happen! However as things turned out this way, he had to figure out what went wrong.
The second thing he checked was the energy of the beauty. It was pure white with few golden threads within. That was what he saw before.
But when he rechecked it, he couldn't help but frown.
"The golden threads… they got broader and multiplied!`` He found, to his surprise, that the golden threads inside the pure white light of the beauty showed signs of advancement.
And that enhancement came at the expense of the pure white light.
When he saw this, his mind recalled a distant memory of his. "That world's will… She had more golden than white!" he recalled that distant scene from before where he fought alongside the world's will.
At that time, the world's will had golden energy with few threads of whiteness within. "Oh, so that's the issue then," Arthur finally spotted what went wrong here.
This beauty came from being an original. Minutes ago she recalled everything as being an original. But now she seemed to become more ignorant towards her past and welcoming a strange story that never happened!
"Was my spiritual energy the reason for it?" he couldn't help but raise his sword and examine it. But he, again, couldn't see this possible.
After all, the spiritual energy in this universe wasn't on par with his past cultivation universe.
"There are more secrets that I don't know," he finally reached this conclusion, "but luckily I got ways to unveil them."
He raised his eyes again towards the sky. "Sigh, I hate to admit it but it seems those prophecies of that sect were true."
To unveil the truth he had to do two things, first to gather more flowers and test them. He wouldn't do the same as this time and listen to the words of the original like he did.
He would break down this flower until he found the source of contamination. Without doubt these flowers got contaminated in one way or another and turned the originals into this different race of world's wills.
But that didn't explain this brainwash thing. So he had to go up here and visit the prison himself. He had to see what was going on up there, and what these world's wills were hiding.
If this wasn't involving his future and his fate, he wouldn't risk doing this. But he was feeling much doubt now. He didn't know why he was sent here, or what connection his past cultivation world had to this one.
There was a connection, he was sure of it. Or else how come the original got such a crazy solid story about heavens and tribulations after eating the flower?
"There is a connection between the two worlds," Arthur firmly believed. And he had to understand that connection so he could understand the purpose of him being here.
Was he the one to bring peace over the two worlds? Or was he the one to bring ruin and death? He didn't know, and couldn't find an answer without knowing more about the truth.
"But going up there is a mere fantasy for now," he took a deep breath before adding, "so let's focus on finding the flowers for now."
"What should I do?"
As he reached this conclusion and put plans for his future, the beauty suddenly asked in loss. "I… Don't know what to do."
"Do you recognize me?" As Arthur finished thinking about his own dilemma, he turned his attention towards this beauty.
He had to make sure things were cleared out straight away without any misunderstanding between the two.
"Aren't you someone who lives under heaven's rule like me?" the beauty asked in confusion. However that wasn't the answer Arthur wanted.
"No, I'm you damn master!"
Without any hesitation or mercy Arthur activated the link between him and the soul of this beauty. The next instant the beauty's face changed before a ruthless expression appeared on her face.
"Oh, so you my enemy," she said in a brutal way and she seemed to be ready to fight. However what she didn't expect was for her soul to be put under immense pressure out of nowhere.
"Gush!"
The next moment she coughed out blood before feeling extremely weak. Her body turned softer and couldn't help but to slam on her knees.
"What… Did you… Do to me?" with a stutter tone she asked, but Arthur didn't give her any chance to resist. He kept activating the link while saying in ruthless tone:
"Either acknowledge me as your master and lord or perish!"
"Why… Are you… Doing… this?" the beauty turned into such a weak and helpless being while slamming with her entire body on the ground.
Despite her weak and soft tone, despite her twisting sexy body on the ground, Arthur didn't show her any mercy. He knew how terrifying she could be and he had to tame her first.
Or kill her if things didn't work out.
After all he smelled nothing but trouble coming from her.
