Chapter 101: I will take everything from him
Chapter 101: I will take everything from him
“We are alone, now tell me about your past” the two of them were at one of the mountain peaks of the Sunrise sect, alone. Sitting on the edge, they could see the entire Sunrise sect and even the river town in the distance.
Michael used the time he spent getting to the mountain peak to piece all the lies and truths together so she wouldn’t doubt him. Looking at her face, he took a long deep breath.
“What I’m going to tell must stay between us”
“You can trust me human, I’m your friend” It wasn’t a surprise to Michael seeing the sincerity in her eyes, after all, she reached 95% loyalty. Besides, Michael regarded Gaya as his only friend nowadays.
“I’m not from this world Gaya, I came from another world”
“What?! You’re kidding me, hahaha hilarious” she began to laugh and it was obvious that she didn’t believe his words but her laughter faded away when she stared at his serious face.
“You’re serious?” she asked with a shaky voice as Michael nodded.
“Yes, I was brought here from my world by a mysterious light” Michael saw the confusion on her face and continued, “after the light brought me to a place called the sanctuary, where a group of people protected the-“
“The Cosmic stream” Gaya finished his sentence and began to shiver with no control over her body. For the moment Michael ignored her shock and went on, “when the light brought me there, the sanctuary was burnt to the ground by the soldiers of Thusia. One of the men they killed looked just like me, his name was Abras. Before he died, with the help of that mysterious light, he merged his soul fragment with me leaving all his memories and knowledge to me” Except for the part about the mysterious light and the truth about his original body, what Michael said was true. Gaya stared at him blankly for a few moments in silence and analyzed everything she just heard in her mind.
First of all, he didn’t look like he was lying and the more she thought about this, what he said made sense. Most people in the world had no clue about the sanctuary and the cosmic stream and only a few people had heard about the two but they considered it as a myth. However, the ancestors of the Nagas believed in the existence of the Cosmic stream and the sanctuary. Some of the ancestors were somehow able to leave clues about their existence and the treasure they were protecting. The Nagas also believed the sanctuary was home to countless secret long-lost knowledge and only the protectors were able to grasp this wisdom.
By taking all the memories of Abras, Gaya believed that Michael was able to get hold of this ancient knowledge, hence, he was able to heal her crippled cultivation and perform many unbelievable feats.
“System, do me a favor” Gaya saw him close his eyes for a moment and then open after a few seconds.
“Close your eyes” Gaya felt his warm hand on his shoulder as she closed her eyes. The very next moment, she felt a hot surge in her brain as she started to experience Abras’s betrayal and pain. With the help of the system, Michael made Gaya feel what he feels.
“AHHHHHHH!” Soon, Gaya’s body twitched violently as she roared in anger and pain. Michael was able to control his anger and pain because of the many years of training and meditating but she had no training, therefore, when Michael made her feel Abras’s pain, she lost her mind for a few moments because of the immense grief and anger.
Following her mad roar, she started to bleed through her ears and nostrils. Michael withdrew his hand and waited for her to break out of this misery.
“Is…this..how you feel?” He saw her teary eyes and heard her stutter.
“Yes, Abras and I may be two different people but when the light merged his soul fragment with mine, I have not only his knowledge and memoirs but also his pain, grief, anger, and all of his feelings. Before he left this world, I promised him I’d avenge him and his people, no matter what”
“How are you still here and not on Thusia?” Since Gaya felt Abras’s feelings, she wanted to burn the entire Thusia to the ground and rip Layla into pieces.
“Because I’m not stupid. Thusia seized the cosmic stream, which means they have a powerful source of energy in their hands, the only way to get my revenge is to become stronger, stronger than King Thusia and then, I will take everything from him”
“WE will take everything from him, human” She squeezed his hand and decided to avenge Abras together after experiencing his emotions.
“But the longer we wait, the stronger they grow human, we should act sooner rather than later” She feared that with the use of the Cosmic stream, the king of Thusia and all his men would grow exponentially stronger and become impossible to kill.
“The Cosmic stream is a source of pure energy, much much more powerful than the Arch Energy but although he has the Cosmix stream, he can’t absorb its energy continuously, unless he wants to explode into million tiny pieces”
“Still, his cultivation speed would be insane”
“Yes but don’t forget I have a Wargod body, courtesy of the mysterious light. Let him have his fun with the Cosmic Stream for now” They fist-bumped and grinned devilishly.
“Did you see the mysterious light you were talking about again?” Since she believed he told her everything, she felt happy. She could tell that he trusts her as she trusts him.
“No, after Abras’s soul fragment merged with my soul, I woke up days after near the forest of the River town. You know what happened next”
“You saved me” she grabbed his hand and held it against her chest tightly. Even to this second, she could close her eyes and recall the first time she saw him vividly in her mind. At that time, she didn’t know he would be her savior and best friend. Both of them came a long way since then and now, they were like a nail and flesh.
“Will it hurt you to turn Raylene into a star chef? The last time you used your knowledge to heal me, you almost died” he could sense the concern in her voice and it warmed his heart because no one ever worried about him before. He wanted to treasure this feeling and her friendship. The arrogant haughty snake is his best friend now and he would do everything to protect her and he knew she would do the same for him.
“Don’t worry, it won’t but you have to keep an eye on her when I’m in the Nether realm. We don’t want to lose our head chef, do we?”
“I’ll take care of our business while you’re away, human and speaking of human, is Ghost your real name?”
“I will tell my name when you do something nice for me, until then, you have to call me Ghost”
“You ruined a perfect moment, bastard” Rolling her eyes, she punched him on the shoulder seeing she failed to know his name.
“Also, while I’m in the Nether Realm, you have to kill these people, Lucifer style” Michael retrieved a list of criminals in his list and their whereabouts and handed it over to Gaya. He wanted to spread the legend of Lucifer around the kingdom more so people would come to believe him as a Vigilante who kills the criminals and cleanse the kingdom of the sinners.
“Kill 8 random criminals and 2 enemies of our own and people would think that two as the victims of Lucifer rather than the enemies of Ghost, nice plan. Do you want me to dress as Lucifer too?”
“I have something for you” Michael closed his eyes and entered the system to get her something awesome like his suits of armor.
“I put the armor you should wear in our space ring” a few seconds after, Michael opened his eyes and said. The suit of armor he chose for her was none other than a female version of his Lucifer armor. It cost him 5000 Badass coins to buy the new suit of armor for her and now he had 33,000 badass points remaining.
“Cool”
“I also put a few bottles of fear toxin inside, remember to apply the fear toxin on the suit and leave no evidence behind except the mark of Lucifer”
“Finally some action” Excitement filled her eyes and she couldn’t wait to hunt some criminals at night like her friend.
“We should go now” Since he told her everything she has to do while he’s in the Nether realm, he could enter the Nether realm with no worries. For now, the only things he had to do was turn Raylene into a 5-star chef and start his first high-end restaurant as well as making new products for the Majestic.
As for the interior and the design for the restaurant he had ristorante la sponda in Italy in his mind. He dined in this fine restaurant when he was on a job in Italy and liked the elegant atmosphere. Plus the Lucky Cat tavern was a perfectly suitable place for this makeover. During the daytime, Gaya could put together a group of talented builders to achieve his vision and continue to renovate the sect.
