Chapter 864 The mad tyrant
( Two months later, The Rajput mansion )
” Sister Naomi, please understand, it’s not that I don’t appreciate your hospitality, but I think it’s best if we take Max back with us to Dombivli now…. His courtiers and countrymen are most concerned for his well-being ” Asiva said as she glanced over at Max’s unconscious body.
It had been two months since Max won over Bavuma, but somehow he had yet to regain consciousness.
According to Odin, Max’s soul had rapidly gained strength and increased in size but his body was not yet ready to manage such a large soul which was why it went into a coma.
It wasn’t anything to worry about, Max’s strength and constitution were being constantly refined and once he was able to contain and equip the full strength of his soul his body was to regain consciousness again.
He estimated that it would take Max anywhere between 3-6 months to regain consciousness, but once he woke up he was going to be several times stronger than when he went to sleep.
Odin also warned that Max might undergo a severe personality shift, however, he wasn’t aware that Seraphiel had already warned Max about the dangers of soul absorption and had taught him to use Drax as a filter to avoid the side-effects.
But since both Rudra and his family were unaware of this, they took Odin’s cautionary words extremely seriously as Rudra insisted that Max stay at the Rajput mansion till he made a full recovery.
One never associated the word ‘Paranoid’ when they described Rudra Rajput, the supreme ruler of the universe, however, paranoid was exactly what he had become ever since Bavuma showed up.
Rudra 100% blamed himself for Max’s current condition as he believed that he had grown too complacent thinking that he was the best.
Not only was the universe riddled with countless unknown dangers, but there were old monsters with methods that bypassed Rudra’s means of detection which meant that he could never be too cautious.
When the queen gave him the odds for Max’s victory, he felt his heart jump out of his chest as he had a gloomy feeling that he might lose his brother.
From that point onwards, all Rudra did was solemnly pray for Max’s survival as he could not bear to bury his own brother.
If Max had died, Rudra would have turned into a vengeful beast and entire galaxies would have burnt.
However, miraculously, Max had not only survived but won against an opponent that Rudra would have to fight seriously and Rudra took that event as a major blessing.
In the two months hence, Rudra had paid a personal visit to every neutral and enemy monarch and intimidated them personally into staying the f*** away from his family.
He diverted 10% of the queen’s computation power to look for any hidden threats and the remaining seeds and their owners if there were any while also actively looking for Bavuma’s planet where Odin claimed was the biggest repository of ancient knowledge.
Rudra wanted to learn everything there was to be learnt and neutralise any threats before they became significant enough to harm his loved ones, as he never wanted to assume again that he was the strongest and that his family was now safe from all threats.
” It’s not that I mind you taking your husband back…. But you know Rudra…. He won’t listen to anyone in this regard ” Naomi replied, pursing her lips as she felt helpless to aid Asiva. 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏｖ𝚎𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ
Although this was the ‘ Rajput ‘ mansion and Asiva was part of the Rajput family, somehow she did feel like a guest staying in the house when everything was said and done.
It wasn’t a hospitality problem, or an intimacy problem, but as long as she psychologically believed that Dombivli was her home, she would always feel like a guest anywhere else in the world.
” Perhaps you can try talking to him yourself? ” Naomi suggested as Asiva instantly threw her hands up in surrender.
Although Rudra was nothing but warm towards her, she had goosebumps run down her spine anytime he looked at her.
Rudra was a supreme being whose aura reeked of suppression and while the other monsters of the Rajput family felt ‘ okay ‘ around him, Asiva felt intimidated out of her mind in his presence.
Let alone confronting him, even holding a normal conversation proved to be difficult as Asiva would much rather let Max stay in the Rajput house for a few more weeks than try and confront Rudra about the issue.
” Oh come on, he won’t eat you- ” Naomi said with a pout as she could not understand why both Anna and Asiva would not dare talk to her husband?
They somehow made Naomi feel like Rudra was some sort of a mad tyrant that was impossible to talk to, however, little did Naomi know that Rudra actually was a mad tyrant.
The proof of his tyranny was his treatment and visit to the kingdom of life, as he confronted Beniogre and forcefully stole the seed of life.

( 10 days ago- , The Kingdom Of Life )
After Rudra gave the queen the order to find the remaining seeds, she located one inside the kingdom of life in the possession of the goddess of life Beniogre.
Since Rudra was already touring the universe intimidating all monarchs, he decided to pay a visit to Beniogre as well and kill two birds with one stone.
He dropped in the middle of her church, breaking the ceiling and entering unannounced as hundreds of paladins immediately rushed him believing him to be some assassin trying to murder their goddess.
” WHO DARES ?” shouted one of the paladins as he immediately received a resounding slap across his cheek from Beniogre of all people who was probably the most non-violent individual in the universe.

The entire hall was stunned into silence, not because Rudra had shown up, but because Beniogre willingly chose to hurt another soul!
” This lowly monarch greets the Supreme Lord, the enslaver of the universal queen and the protector of all life ” Beniogre said, dropping to one knee as immediately the entire church followed suit.
