454 The Heaven Kingdom
[Yes, these bones can grant abilities, but it’s needed for them to get attached first with your body successfully. Full integrated bones developed powers, special powers for people having them]
[Like… What? Toxins?] I muttered, thinking about what she just mentioned.
[Not only that! Many developed supernatural powers, like fire control or ice abilities. Others developed abilities that’s so unreal! One managed to create portals and let us link worlds apart with each other. Dude, your bones are just like treasure trove, a very hot cake right now for many, many powerful forces and figures]
Damn! I wasn’t amazed by her last words about the value of my bones in the entire universe. After all, I was just giving off the lowest grade bones out. What would she say if she saw the high grade ones I had?
[Anything else?]
[Do you still look for more? These are enough to shake anyone!]
[Do you have more? You know we are bound by a contract]
[Sigh! Ok… The last use we found is that by grinding the bones and sniff the powder, we can grant anyone a temporary state resembling the one that the bone came from]
[You mean like turning people strong like the bones’ owners?]
[No… What I mean is that we can transform anyone to the same race the bone came from]
[The same race? You don’t possibly mean…]
[Whoever uses the powder will turn into another race, act like them, and even wield the same powers as that race. In fact we tested it many times, and no one could tell the difference or catch such camouflage]
[Damn! How long can this continue?]
[For now it’s just a few hours. But our big minds are working on a potion or a pill that can extend such duration for much longer]
Surely that was something worth investing in.
[Once done, I want the recipe]
[Keep dreaming]
[Either you give it to me or you can say goodbye to your precious bones]
[Dude! We have a contract!]
[It’s about raising the price, not to accept any deal from you, right?]
[Don’t be a jerk like this!]
[Give me the recipe, I’ll pay the right price for it anyway]
[This…]
[Also I want more info regarding the bone merging thing and the cultivation opening process]
[Come on!]
[I’ll pay bones for that!]
[These… do you know how much we paid to just get such info?]
[I doubt you did it for my bones]
[Well…] she hesitated, seemingly I guessed it right this time.
[I’ll pay, you just name a price and send me everything you have]
[This… I have to get the approval of our boss about such trade] ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
[Why?] This was her first time since we got to deal heavily with each other to bring the name of her boss in any deal.
And it seemed weird.
[The bone merging thing isn’t a big deal. It’s done by my impacts in an attempt to make our forces stronger. We used many things before, even bones extracted from dead strong figures. But we never had such quality like yours before]
[Then what’s the issue?]
[The cultivation opening part… After all we paid a hefty price to get this from the higher ups of Hectors]
[Hectors? Hectors do know that?] my eyes shone. If that was true, then I could just ask Lily about it and save me such hustle and save up my bones as well.
[Not any Hector, only the fiercest of them would know about such a secret]
[Not a common Hector would know?]
[No, this isn’t something known to the public! The core of the technique used is only known to a handful of figures at that race. Also you have to ask for their help, as the process of executing it needs only Hectares to do it]
[Oh, I see]
[You are already at a big war with them. And you just said you killed paragons from their side. You can’t have your way, sorry pal. I advise you against having such info. You won’t do anything with it anyway]
[But I still want it] I didn’t expose to her the fact about Lily and others.
Getting Hectares to work for me? That was an easy piece of cake honey. I already had many of them working under me. And I could also get more if I wanted to.
[It’s your bones… But I have to warn you, even paying ten thousand bones won’t be enough for this]
Ten thousand? I looked at my inventory filled with tons of these bones. [I’ll try to secure the price then]
[Damn! You should do it as my boss isn’t as patient and tolerant as me]
[Just get his approval and come to tell me the good news] I paused, [Also ask him to help in my human quest. In fact it would be better to let all the impact work on this]
[You are crazy! Do you think we are this free and jobless or what?]
[I have bones, lots of it]
[Oh… Let me see what I can do then]
[But this applies to the humans snatched from other apocalypses… Not the ones sold in the market]
[You are stingy!]
[I have lots of bones]
[Oh, my dear Hye… I’ll see what I can do then]
I knew in front of my bones, she wouldn’t refuse any request of mine.
But this… This was huge! I was depending upon Lily and her boys to help my boys start cultivating.
It seemed this plan was doomed to fail. She missed the last piece of the puzzle, the core of that technique.
And by obtaining it, I could now turn the dream of having all my people start cultivating into a reality.
My kingdom… It would be known not as the strongest or fiercest, but the one where humans would turn into gods!
I’d build a kingdom where humans would feel blessed to be there… A heaven for any human, a dream for all even for those who weren’t born on my Earth.
The Heaven kingdom… That was such a nice name for my kingdom. I’d select it then.
