Chapter 1675: Paranoia
If Lex was 25, then sometimes it felt like the Inn workers were 15. Seen through that specific lens, Luthor was a young teenager going through a dark and emo phase, who would get overly excited at the mere prospect of imprisoning and interrogating enemies. It brought an enthusiastic and genuine side of him, which was in complete contrast with the cool and levelheaded guy he was trying to be.
Perhaps only Lex, who had known Luthor from the moment he was born, could see him as an awkward teenager. After all, he was a man with a genuinely frightening power, and a bloodline that boasted use of the power of time!
Time was such a dangerous concept that even Lex never dared to experiment with it. A small mistake while dealing with Karma caused Lex’s body to blow up, but even the slightest of mistakes while tinkering with the laws of time would result in Lex ceasing to exist entirely. There was no recovery from that, regardless of how tough or durable his body was.
So even though Luthor’s bloodline only affected himself, there was no room for doubt when considering how formidable he was.
Even though he was free now, Lex simply watched Luthor let loose, and did not fight himself at all. Since It was so interested in Lex, he would not make it any easier for It to gather information on him.
As he watched the fight, and eventually witnessed Luthor use his self created ability, Chains of Oblivion, which were basically chains made of Hellfire which trapped and tortured his targets, Lex began to wonder if it was truly so hard to make one’s own Lawcraft.
He seemed to have no trouble doing it, and Luthor had done it too, so why was Z complaining so much?
From the corner of his eye, he glanced towards Z, but then turned his attention away. It was best not to pressure the little guy too much. Instead, he simply watched as the chimera, ignoring the searing torture of the chains, tried to break the chains.
Remarkably, the chains did not break, though it was immediately obvious to Lex that this could not be a long-term solution. He would need to personally create barriers within the dungeons in the castle to trap the chimeras, and preferably even upgrade the entire dungeon itself.
