Chapter 545: Lu Shan's fortune
Planet of Vriga, Immortal plane of Existence;
A teenage-looking woman with the ears and whiskers of a cat was rapidly absorbing the natural energy from the planet, which was once frozen in Ice but the rapid depletion of energy caused the ice to melt, and turn into water, before slowly turning into a barren wasteland.
Her meditation was disturbed by the arrival of a humanoid-looking man with golden feathered wings on his back, and the Golden Demon Cat instantly attacked him in annoyance.
The winged man evaded the beam of energy with a sidestep and stretched his hands forward, "Woah, easy there, my wild cat. I'm merely here to pass you a message from Master."
"Die." She charged forward with her claws out. Her speed was so fast that it appeared as if she teleported a hundred meters away in an instant, and yet, the stranger evaded it once again with another sidestep while still maintaining a smile on his face. "You know it is bad manners to act against your big bro, like this."
"Who the f*ck is my big bro," The Golden Demon Cat was only enraged by his comment. She jumped high and swiped her claws into the air, aiming at her opponent.
Giant arcs of energy made their way toward him. The stranger, this time, didn't evade. Instead, he conjured a hexagonal prism-shaped golden barrier around himself, letting the claws of energy strike the barrier and deflect.
In an instant, the entire planet was shredded into pieces of dust with even its core destroyed, leaving behind these two beings floating in space while the planet's three moons started drifting away to form their independent orbits around the star, located about 6 billion kilometers away.
Soon, a portal with suction power emerged between them, and in a few seconds, all the dust around them disappeared and the girl raised her arms to conjure a sphere of demonic energy, but the man didn't fight her as she thought.
Instead, he casually lectured her while folding his hands to the chest, "Relax there, kitty. You know that you cannot defeat me. Why bother getting riled up for no reason and destroying worlds? Just listen to what I have to say."
"I told you already. I have no relations with your race…"
It goes without saying that his comment only enraged her further. The strongest under mythical cosmic beasts responded by throwing the concentrated energy sphere at him, so potent that it could even destroy a solar system as long as it hits something and explode.
Hence, the winged man couldn't help but take action this time. "Singularity." With a mumble escaping his mouth, a dot appeared on his palm, generating an enormous amount of suction force and absorbing the energy sphere.
Once the energy sphere entered the black hole, he destroyed both of them and tried to converse with the serious-looking girl, who was already preparing for her next attack; the appearance of horns on her forehead and the rapid energy gathering in between those horns was the best evidence for it.
"Would you keep acting like a brat?" The winged man tried to reason with her, although his choice of words wasn't appropriate from the start, and neither did they get better.
The Golden Demon Cat growled at him, "Shut up, you mortal."
"Well, the one who is sitting on the top of that heavenly throne is also a mortal, sweetie," replied the winged man, winking at her.
The girl shivered in anger at once, "Stop calling me that, you bastard…" She screamed, unleashing the beam of energy with her horns.
Containing the power of almost an Elder God (low-15-circle), the energy beam struck him head-on with its full force, bringing a smile to her face only for it to be wiped off in the next second as the beam disappeared into his body.
When the attack ended, she saw a black hole on the upper part of his chest as his expression turned serious for the first time.
"Sera…" A word escaped from him, making her shudder in fear this time as he raised the hand and conjured a sword with live images of galaxies seen on its blade. "You know what happens when I draw the sword of Void. So, this time, with great sincerity, I'm going to say it again. Master wishes to pass an order to you. Listen carefully.
Master had a prophetic dream, where a mortal child riding on top of a masculine golden demon cat challenging the Jade Emperor, sometime in the future. He wants you to abduct that baby and bring it to him. In exchange, he will reward you handsomely."
The Golden Demon Cat's facial expression changed all of a sudden, "the prophetic dream?" After seeming like she deeply thought on the matter for a few seconds, she asked, "What if I refuse?"
"What else? The same as last time," replied the winged man. When her facial expression turned ugly, he finished the sentence, "The annihilation of your clan."
"You damn…" The Golden Demon Cat swiped her claws at him once again, tearing the space between them in the process, but he didn't even bother engaging with her further and disappeared instead.
The energy claws started traveling nonstop, destroying everything on its way. Meanwhile, the Golden Demon Cat tightened her fist and swore under her breath, "One day, I will make a breakthrough and that day, I will annihilate your race across all worlds. But, for now, I need to put my focus on mastering the Great law of Null."
A few days later, in the mortal plane of existence;
Song's residence, Lunaris City;
Song Yue was carrying the baby boy in her arms, Lu Zhen was standing beside her as a famous fortune teller of the continent visited them to read the baby's fortune.
He came all the way from the Kun Empire, on King Shen Niu's request, to see the baby.
Now, Mark has no belief in things like fortune telling as they were always vague, and unlike prophecies, fortunes also have a low chance of success. Despite such fact, it was deeply rooted in the tradition of this world and Mark couldn't help but listen to his wife, who was curious about her child's future.
The fortune teller looked at the baby's birth time and date, his attribute and density of ether particles, the Yin and Yang balance in the body, the Feng Shui of the house he was born in, his given name, and ancestral background, before he did the calendric calculations, such as the combination of ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches which cycle through the years, month, days, and house.
After taking about half an hour of time, Fortune Teller Wang spoke to the couple, "Your child's destiny is filled with greatness. He has the fate to become a King.
He would have everything in his hands that the entire universe would have to offer." While his words were filled with praises, Mark saw beads of sweat on this fortune teller's forehead despite the optimal temperature in the room, indicating that he was feeling quite nervous for some reason.
He couldn't help but respond with a question, "Will he face numerous challenges in life? Does it involve life threatening?"
"Uhh…" The fortune became silent for a moment and the others looked at him in worry.
