Chapter 252: Calm Down
"T-That was everything?" Darian asked, surprised.
Meru’s voice replied flatly:
"Yeah. You think the big-shot planets split this power into ten parts? Of course not. They’ve got the power and the means to pour it all into just two people. Folks on Earth know that, too, but they can’t do anything about it — they just don’t have the resources or the strength."
Darian took a deep breath. If he absorbed all the remaining power and left nothing for the second place... it would cause absolute chaos.
A grin slowly formed on his face.
"Good. Looks like you finally stopped being a hesitant idiot. You’ve grown up a bit," Meru said with some satisfaction in her voice. "That little bastard was gonna take all the rest for himself with his family’s help. If that happened, you’d be walking straight into the abyss. So I came to help. I’m gonna fuse everything into you — that way, you’ll be on par with the strongest out there. But... your recent actions have already drawn the attention of some nasty folks. Didn’t I tell you to keep a low profile?"
Darian nodded, his eyes lit up. "I think that’s just not in me... I’ve decided this is my path," he answered firmly.
"Now that’s what a real man sounds like. Maybe now my mother will stop hating you so much... shit..."
Meru cut herself off and swallowed hard. She’d just said something she definitely shouldn’t have — and now she’d have to deal with the fallout.
Darian’s eyes widened. He already knew he had some kind of karma with Heaven’s Will... but his wife hated him? That only made him more curious, though he knew asking wouldn’t get him anywhere.
"Anyway... like I said, I don’t have time. We might meet again soon, if you make it to the next book."
Her voice vanished.
