Chapter 889: Astrid’s talent
Astrid's eyes lit up with fervor as she heard those words. For her, the world of Tribulation Enhancement was not just a field of study, but a realm of endless fascination and thrill. She could spend days and nights immersed in its complexities, forgetting even the most basic needs like food.
She was not only a beyond divine talent in Tribulation Enhancement, but was also obsessed with it. If you combine both, you will give birth to a monster. However, the focus soon returned to her eyes as she nervously turned toward the Atrox Immortus Emperor and the Ten Swords.
And she was not alone since Duke William also glanced at Ishmael and the rest of the Atrox True Titans with a flash of trepidation.
Cain was confused for a moment by the reaction of the duo, but things became a little clearer as he saw how Ishmael and the Ten Swords glanced at the father and daughter with sharp eyes. "Oh, I see. You keep Astrid's ability as a Tribulation Enhancer as a secret."
Duke William could not help but lower his head toward Ishmael as Cain uttered those words. He had seen his daughter's talent and knew just how impressive Tribulation Enhancement was, so he did not dare to reveal it to the Atrox Immortus Empire, at least not until he was a God and could protect her from anyone with dark thoughts about her abilities.
Ishmael did not say a word, but his eyes showed a flash of coldness. Tribulation Enhancement was not new for him, as he had heard rumors about its power from the great general of the Scarlet Inquisition.
"Ahhh, you made a serious offense, but we are in a time of war against the Dark Sky, the enemy of the world, and all six Sacred Races. You can make up for your mistakes on the battlefield." In the end, the Atrox Immortus Emperor only shook his head.
As an emperor, he was angry at William for hiding something so precious that could help the entire race, but as a father, he understood the reason why the man did it.
Duke William's eyes widened, and a broad smile appeared as he heard those words. He clasped his hands and performed a deep bow. "I thank you, Your Highness, for ignoring this mistake. I will not forget your mercy."
Ishmael's expression was complicated as he nodded. He did not have much room either, as he did not dare pass punishment on William, much less on Astrid, considering that they were clearly important to the Scarlet King.
"Since that is settled, what do you think about my invitation? I believe that with your skills, you will be able to attain great power very fast and be of help in the war against Dark Sky." Cain smiled toward Astrid and spoke in a voice full of delight and thrill, eager to bring the young woman into the [Samsara Arsenal Module].
It would be a lie to say that Astrid was not interested, but as she looked at Cain, her mind and emotions were still in turmoil. She did not know what the right path would be. Luckily for the young woman, she had help.
