Chapter 245: Threads
Seven golden threads shot out from the Lord’s finger, each one piercing a specific screen and vanishing!
"What are you doing!" Ourabos stood up from her throne at once in alarm, looking at the Lord.
"You cannot harm anyone or offer help to anyone without my permission" Ourabos shouted, immediately sensing the locations where these golden threads had appeared.
One thread had headed toward the Falcon Emperor. Another thread toward the Golden Lion Emperor. A thread toward the Dragon Emperor. A thread toward the flying beast hiding in the Silestium ore region. A thread headed toward the egg in the blood lake in the Phoenix Empire. A thread headed toward the gigantic egg surrounded by hundreds of Fifth Level monsters. And a thread toward the giant at the peak of the Fifth Level!
Ourabos extended her hand toward the screens at once, and in six of the seven locations where the golden threads had appeared, the sound of thunder rang out and lightning flashed, the laws reacting, quickly surrounding those threads. But the thread heading toward the giant wasn’t affected and nothing happened to it, and the laws didn’t react to it the way they had with the rest of the threads!
"It’s useless!" the Lord mocked scornfully, shaking his head with pity, "these threads carry no power within them, nor do they intend destruction or sabotage, so you won’t be able to stop them!"
And indeed, the laws couldn’t stop those threads, and they continued on their way toward their targets!
The Dragon Emperor, who had been wrestling with the women and scoring points at this very moment, suddenly stopped, his eyes turning completely white, and when his pupils reappeared again, he raised his head toward the sky, tossed the woman who was beneath him aside, and laughed loudly, shouting in a hysterical voice....
"Agreed! Agreed! Agreed!"
And in another place, where the Falcon Emperor sat calmly upon his throne, eyes closed, breath still, deeply focused, trying to reach the Sixth Level of the Law of Wind... he suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the vast sky through the palace’s dome, where three distant suns now hung in this moment, unlike the Mother Continent, which only showed a single sun, and he smiled slyly, murmuring a few words, then rose from his throne and began walking out of the hall...
"Agreed!"
In the forest, where the Golden Lion Emperor had been fighting Fifth Level monsters, or more precisely, bullying them the way a grown man bullies a small child. The Golden Lion Emperor suddenly froze in place as a gigantic ram’s horns struck him in the chest!
Whooosh!
The Emperor shot off like a missile, tearing through the air, finally coming to a stop when he crashed into the base of a gigantic cliff, but the moment he hit it, the rocks exploded and the Emperor plunged deep inside that cliff, with hundreds of tons of rock piling on top of him!
"Your Majesty!" the guards who had been watching the battle from the side jumped up from their spots, preparing to intervene, but...
"Stand where you are, who gave you permission to intervene!" a hulking man with thick golden hair, resembling a well-groomed lion’s mane, shouted at them, sitting upon a seat adorned with numerous monster hides.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, didn’t you see His Majesty the Emperor was just badly hit!" the guards shouted in protest, but what met their shouting was...
"My question was clear" the Prime Minister’s aura burst forth, at the peak of the Fifth Level in the Path of Energy, and the Fifth Level in the Body path, and he didn’t even try to suppress it. The guards quickly knelt before this aura!
"Who gave you permission to intervene, unless someone gives you an explicit order, I don’t want to see a single one of you sons of bitches move from your spot" the Prime Minister said in a gruff voice, and the guards didn’t dare move even under the pressure of that aura.
"Rrraaaaaaaawwwrrr!" from the side, the golden lion, the Emperor’s companion, roared deeply, agreeing with the Prime Minister’s words, then returned to its laziness and sleep once more.
The monsters gathered around the collapse the young Emperor had caused, and minutes passed one after another, and the monsters waited patiently until finally movement appeared in the middle of that rubble.
"Ugh, that hurt a little!" the young Emperor rose from among that rubble, scratching his head in annoyance, looking up at the sky, furrowing his brows.
He had just received an offer. In exchange for agreeing to accept the mission of eliminating the two trees, he would be given both the Sixth Level of the basic Body law, and the breakthrough formula for the Body law to the Sixth Level!
Who were those two trees... he had a guess about one of them, but had there really already come to be another one!?
The young Emperor didn’t agree immediately, but instead looked at the monsters that were slowly approaching him, especially that ram that had just gored him, the marks of that goring still visible on the Emperor’s chest even now.
The young Emperor’s body began gradually swelling, his golden hair beginning to bristle and fly through the air, his fangs beginning to protrude, his features changing. Until finally he became a gigantic beast, ten meters tall, thick-furred, sharp-fanged, muscles bulging everywhere, demonic, murderous eyes of a golden color tinged with red.
He resembled a lion in form, but was more symmetrical and savage.
This was the beast form specific to the Golden Lion lineage, and the young Emperor had inherited a higher lineage than the Heaven-tier lineage, a mutated Heaven-tier lineage, so he could transform into the full beast form with complete ease, and maintain it for a suitable period!
The young Emperor looked at that ram with hostility, and with a single swift motion, the young Emperor vanished from his spot and appeared directly behind that ram!
"Where do you think you’re going?" standing close to each other, the difference in height was starkly obvious, for the young Emperor’s height in beast form was roughly twice that of the ram!
Whooosh!
The young Emperor swung his claw, and the bursting of the air could be heard and seen from the sheer intensity of the energy and power, bringing it down upon that ram’s head, and the ram didn’t react quickly enough before its head turned into a pool of blood!
