Courting Death System-Chapter 74: Don’t Blame Me For Being Ruthless

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Don’t Blame Me For Being Ruthless

{A Dream Lord, another special bring has been born... but not what I’m looking for...} Lucius softly muttered while looking at the nine hundred and nine universes good thing around him. Although happy about the birth of Tony, his eyes still carried some disappointment within them, like he hadn’t found what he was looking for.

{Be patient Lucius, haste makes waste.} said Lucius to himself. Nowadays, the Cold Temperament Innate Ability was always on so that he could remain calm and throw a temperament. It also helped keep his emotions in check because he sometimes thought about destroying these universes.

{Lumen.} he said and shortly after, Lumen manifested in front of him .

"What is it? Have you completed the task I gave you?"

{Where are my wives, Lumen? I want to see them.}

"This again, didn’t I tell you that your wives will visit you once they’ve finished their task. Unlike you, others can’t be idle and have to work hard in order to attain freedom."

Lucius didn’t immediately respond but just looked at Lumen with a deep gaze, like he was trying to see through her.

{Lumen, let me go. Let me go and I won’t bother you ever again. I’ll even lend a helping hand when trouble arises, just let me go.} he said emotionlessly, like he was a heartless being created from a mindless puppet.

Sigh*

"You know I can’t do that. Not before you complete my task at least. Lucius, stop making things difficult for yourself and just do what I asked you to. Just look at the unique creatures you’ve created, you have talent in this so focus on that, perfect your craft, complete your mission and I’ll let you go." said Lumen calmly, she’d had this conversation with Lucius many times already.

Lightning crackled within Lucius eyes and dark clouds condensed above his head and covered the entire Matter Bubble.

Sigh*

{Since you’ve made your choice, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I’m not an animal that has to be caged, I’m not your prisoner and I’m definitely not your slave! You will get what’s coming for you and very soon too. Since you don’t want to be civilised...}

"Then watch as I destroy you and everything you’ve worked for. Watch as I show you despair, the consequences offending me is death! I know, I know, you’ve said this thousands of times already, can’t you think of singing new? I’m getting bored, you know." said Lumen in a playful voice.

{Good, don’t regret it in the future.} Lucius said before closing his eyes and ignoring her completely.

"What, not going to throw lightning bolts at me like you usually do, then you must really be serious this time." said Lumen with a playful voice still and Lucius continued to ignore her.

"Honestly, you’re really talented at creating unique creatures. Just this baby creature with the Reproduction Rate that rival Royal Insects is impressive. Its children also retain everything about their Host and are nine times stronger than the Host once born, evolve very quickly and are extremely hard to kill. With a God Army from these... Xenomorphs, I can wage war on the other Worlds, devour them and evolve beyond my limit.

Lucius, help me achieve this goal and I’ll give you anything you want. I’ll give you freedom." said Lumen passionately.

{If that’s truly the case, just replicate them and create your own Xenomorphs, raise them to the level of Gods and wage the wars that you dream of.} answered Lucius.

"It’s not that simple. You see, a World can only have one Original Race and can’t create others. The only exception to this is your home planet Earth. I don’t know how she did it but everything alive in there was an Original Race, Animals, Fish, Birds, Plants, Reptiles, Amphibians and Microscopic Organisms, all of them were Original Races, created by her."

{Okay, what’s your point?}

"You Earthlings are Anomalies, all of you. You Humans have off the chart imaginations capabilities and your adapting skills are top notch, incomparable to other Humans. The other creatures are phenomenal in their own way, especially after gaining intelligence. She even gave birth to a Royal Beast, the Fire Mane Lions!"

{Isn’t the tiger supposed to be king?}

"Of course not. Just because it’s bigger and stronger than the lion doesn’t make it King. You see, you humans are too focused on one on one battles, lion vs tiger, one on one, the tiger wins but what about a lion pride versus a tiger?"

{Lions would win but that’s not fair, it’s one against many. Using numbers to win doesn’t cut it for me.}

"So having a size advantage is fair? Collective strength is still strength. Also, in my honest opinion, the lion would win every battle against a tiger."

{But you just said...}

"I know what I said. Look at it this way, can a bigger and taller guy win against prime Mike Tyson?"

{No.}

"Why?"

{Because Mike has combat experience.}

"Exactly, lions also have combat experience, they live their entire lives either fighting for the throne or protecting it. Anyway, that’s not the point. The lions are Royal Beasts because of how they live their lives, very similar to kingdoms and that lifestyle gave birth to their Royal Bloodline because they are always fighting for the invisible throne, something that only they do, no other Earth beast lives that way, not even tigers. Do you know what happened when they arrived here?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

{No.}

"Tigers evolved into Sabertooth while lions evolved into Fire Mane Lions, controlling the Fire Element. The Sabertooth from me are much more terrifying than those of Earth, they are apex predators that stand at the top of the food chain, their rivals are other apex predators from me like Dragons, Giants, Beastmen, Orcs, etc.

{And the Fire Mane Lions?}

"They are competing amongst themselves, other Magical Beasts don’t dare to cross paths with them, not even the Dragons, the proudest of all Magical Beasts!"

{Why? Aren’t Dragons also Royal Beasts?}

"No, Dragons are strong, very strong, and though they carry themselves like kings and queens, make Magical Beasts around them bend the knee, that’s not the style of true kings. Fire Mane Lions don’t go around suppressing other Magical Beasts, it’s how they behave that other Magical Beasts acknowledge them as kings. I mean, they create a battlefield, kingdoms, then battle it out. Do you know how many Royal Races exist?"

{No, how many?}

"Just one and it’s the Insect Race, only they have Royal Bloodline, other Races call themselves Kings but those are just self proclaimed titles."

{What was the point of this conversation again?}

"To show you how special you Earthlings are. In the Infinite Space, you won’t survive even for a second so just stay put in here and do as you’re told, okay?"

{Alright.}

...

Once Lumen left, Lucius slowly opened his eyes and gazed at the distance, even though there was only darkness in sight, Lucius saw freedom.

’I don’t know if this is gonna work or not but there’s no harm in trying.’ he thought. He then closed his eyes and contracted on himself, trying to find something. He remained in the same position for a long time and Lumen was watching him from outside the bubble.

"What are you doing? Forget it, I won’t waste more of my energy on you. It’s not like you can escape."she said before her consciousness disappeared.

’Got it!’ said Lucius internally after a long time.

In his hands was a non-existent threat that was connected to someone outside the Matter Bubble. This thread was his connection with Anya. He then poured Mana into the thread and pulled something from it.

What he pulled was a tiny drop of blood that constantly released a dark, eerie and ominous aura. This was the Volkmora bloodline and through his connection with Anya, he could obtain it. The clothes on his body disappeared, after that, he placed the drop of blood inside his heart through the chest.

Once inside his heart, the drop of blood began to multiply at a fast rate and was transported throughout his body, being suppressed by Lucius, the Moon Bloodline could only watch itself being devoured and replaced by an inferior bloodline.

Lucius’s appearance began to change, tattoos covered his entire body, surprisingly, the eclipse tattoos remained. His eyes became pitch black and two buffalo horns grew on his head. A dark and ominous aura permeated from Lucius’s body, making him look like an Evil God.

After the transformation, Lucius searched through the Volkmora Bloodline Memories and after a while, he smiled in a creepy and perverted manner.

’Got it! Hehe, I told you to not blame me for being ruthless.’ thought Lucius without mentioning Lumen’s name or thinking about her. He then slit his wrists and drew a sacrificial magic formation.

{I CALL UPON THE ANCIENTS, DARK AND THE CURSED ONES! I CALL UPON THE EVIL SPIRITS, TAINTED SOULS AND EVIL ONE’S! I OFFER MY SOUL AS THE PRICE TO OPEN THE GATE TO THE OTHER SIDE! I CALL UPON THE EVIL LORD TO POSSESS MY BODY AND INVADE THIS WORLD! COME!}
