Chapter 2117: 25.07 Lone Black Star - Authority
Lord Zhuge didn’t expect that one day their ruler would look at him and acknowledge his presence. Likewise, he would have never thought of experiencing this dangerous man’s anger and it all because of the enemy of their cosmos. He was terrified by the pressure of the aura that had fallen on him. However, he still glares at the God of Destruction showing no attempts to hide his anger. Upon seeing this, the face of the Sovereign God of Void and Darkness turned grim. He never would have thought that someone from his cosmos would dare defy him one day. After all, he was used to the time when all of his words were absolute and the law.
"You don’t know your place!"
Just as Ye Xiajie was about to kill Lou Zhuge on the spot, he was stopped by his beloved.
The God of Destruction said, "There is no need to kill him. He still has some use and... He hasn’t answered my question yet."
Knowing how tough this man’s will is, Hei Anjing can only force him to answer. He had used his ability of authority to pry this man’s mouth and let him give him the answers he wanted to hear. After stepping down from his throne, the God of Destruction walks towards the chained Lou Zhuge’s soul in the throne hall. His rhythmical and calm footsteps resound in the whole area. He was simply walking but for those who feared him, these footsteps are no different from ringing bells warning them of the approaching danger.
Lou Zhuge struggles as if wanting to escape. Sadly, this hell chain had no intention of letting him move freely. The sounds of clanging chains also echoes in the room even masking the sound of Hei Anjing’s footsteps. With the black chains on his body restraining him even further, Lou Zhuge can only fall on the ground face first. Even though he tried to lift his head to glare at the God of Destruction, moving more than that is not possible.
"What the hell do you plan to do? There is no way I am going to answer you!" shouted Lou Zhuge, looking so rebellious as he openly showed his hatred towards the God of Destruction that now stood in front of him.
Hei Anjing lightly curls his lips into a playful smile, he used the tip of his shoes to lift the jaw of Lou Zhuge and allowed his man to meet his eyes. Meeting eye to eye with that pair of silver orbs made Lou Zhuge shiver. Seeing this man’s eyes this closely, allowed him to see the hidden madness within this pure color. A madness that scares the hell out of him that he almost forgot to breathe and can barely gasp for air.
The skill known as ’Authority’ was used on Lou Zhuge without him knowing, "I am going to ask you for the second time. Give me an answer. Did you meet someone that had helped you unsealed your memories?"
As if falling in some kind of hypnotized state, Lou Zhuge’s eyes lost clarity and it turned dull as if his soul was under someone’s control. Authority is a skill that dominates someone’s bind. The use allows one to control the target whether it was their actions or their thoughts. It was something they couldn’t defy.
Lou Zhuge turns silent for a moment as if trying to fight back against this strange power. In the end, he still failed to fight against it and speak up to give the God of Destruction the answers he wanted to know about.
He opened his mouth against his will and said, "Yes."
"Have you seen the appearance of this person?" asked Hei Anjing. This is his second question.
Lou Zhuge once again answered not of his will and said, "No. I couldn’t see who it was. He can control the cosmos and hide his appearance and presence to avoid detection. I can see this person but not touch him. Trying to touch would cause the time and space to distort."
Upon learning that even the only being who had interacted with the one causing chaos at the World Prisons didn’t even see the person’s face made them frown. Only the God of Destruction remains calm as if he already expected it. After all, if he was the enemy and had to move while avoiding the Cosmic Laws, then he would definitely have done the same thing as this person.
"Anything else you have noticed about this person?" Hei Anjing asked.
"This being said that even if he exposed himself, the cosmos wouldn’t touch him at all. At that time, I couldn’t understand why he said that?" Lou Zhuge said.
The God of Destruction turned serious only for a moment before snapping his fingers and removing the control of authority on Lou Zhuge.
Snap!
Once Lou Zhuge had awakened from the state of being controlled and the domination caused by the skill ’Authority’ on him, he turned pale when he recalled what he had just done and said. The feet under his jaw had left as well making his chin hit the ground with a bang. This pain woke him up faster from the fading control over himself. He realized that he had been controlled by the enemy before him and was terrified at heart. He actually didn’t expect that the God of Destruction had this kind of capability. The ability of Authority is something only a ruler possesses and it works on everything within the cosmos.
He had fallen on this control as well. This only meant that the cosmos believes that this reincarnated soul is already a part of this cosmos even though he is currently just a prisoner right now. Lou Zhuge watches as the man they feared and hated the most walks back to his white throne even welcomed by their own ruler smiling at him. He sat on this plain white throne bonelessly as one can see how lazy he is as a person.
Lou Zhuge finally realized something, this man who blocks their path in the Cosmos Battlefield doesn’t seem to hate them as they hate him. He stares at the God of Destruction and couldn’t help but ask.
"Why... Why aren’t you killing me?" Lou Zhuge asked.
Hei Anjing’s slightly closed eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep anytime, glanced at him and said, "I’ve already killed you once. Your sin has been addressed. As for what will happen to you in the future, it will no longer be decided by me."
The God of Destruction pointed at his husband seated beside him and said, "Ask your ruler what he plans to do with you."
"In the first place, when I allowed you to be reborn in this world, you were given a chance to live. If you have accepted your new identity you could have become like the Chief Warden like your brother or your ruler, my man. The will of the cosmos wasn’t openly hostile in the first place. You just made a move that can cause harm when you tried to steal the chaos instead of borrowing it."
"Can the Sea of Chaos be borrowed? Can it be replenished?!" The Sovereign God of Void and Darkness asked in incredulity as if he didn’t know about it.
The Hell Flames Guardian also didn’t know about it. After all, between him and the Destruction Guardian, the latter was chosen as the ruler of the Diamond Cosmos and he had already existed before he was chosen to become a cosmic guardian. That’s why he didn’t know much about the Sea of Chaos and how it was made.
The God of Destruction smiled at him and said, "My answer is Yes to both of your questions. As for how to replenish it, you will understand in the future. It is something I cannot tell you myself. But it is something you can see for yourself."
"Anyway, you should decide what to do with your person. I will check on the children first. Ming’er, come with me," said Hei Anjing.
Warden Yun Ming nodded his head and with a snap of Hei Anjing’s fingers he and Yun Ming disappeared from the Throne Hall. None of the other men stopped them from leaving. After the God of Destruction and his aide, Warden Yun had left the three men had gathered. The chains on Lou Zhuye were removed by Lou Wuye after seeing his master had gestured.
Lou Zhuge asked, "Is it alright for the lord to free me like this?"
"My wife isn’t petty. Since he gave you to me to handle, he will accept my decision without question," said Ye Xiajie. "If not for the fact you are connected to Wuye, you might not have this kind of ending."
"Is it because of that man named Yun Ming?" asked Lou Zhuge.
Lou Wuye smacked the back of his brother’s head and said, "Call him sister-in-law."
"That... hurts?"
Lou Zhuge felt the pain in his head and noticed that he was given a vessel that fits his soul. He looked at his new body and looked cheerful to gain a body for his use. After all, his body in the last world was destroyed by his ruler himself.
"I have a body!?" He exclaimed.
The Sovereign God of Void and Darkness said, "I’ve bestowed it to you. Come tell me everything that has happened to you. If you dare to lie or hide something I’ll erase your existence myself."
