Courting Death System-Chapter 89: Nudge

{The Moon Clan, it sounds like a clan with a really powerful bloodline. Let’s just take it, I don’t have the time nor the liberty to be picky.} said an absolute monstrosity while looking at the big bubble in front of it but compared to its size, the bubble was very small.

This creature was phantom or ghost with no arms or legs and a zip-like mouth, zip-like because when it spoke, it revealed its white teeth that looked like a zip that ran all over its body so its mouth could be big or small. Beside it was a Lumen Race man whose eyes, hair, mouth, tongue and teeth had turned pitch black and black veins spread all around his body.

Black saliva flowed down his lower jaw, giving him an appearance of someone who was either crazy or infected with a deadly rabies virus.

{As your new master, I suppose I should give you a name. Your heart was filled with revenge so I’m gonna call you Vengeance, now open the door for me to enter.} said the phantom monster that moved between real and ghostly.

{Hisssss} Vengeance hissed and opened a hole on the bubble, it was the entrance to the multiverse within it where the Moon Clan and many other clans lived. The monstrosity then shrank its body and entered the "world" inside the bubble. The Moon Clan wasn’t just chosen at random, it was also chosen because it had affinity with Darkness, a perfect puppet in the monstrosity’s eyes.

...

While the monster was coming for the Moon Clan, the clan itself was oblivious to all of this and were currently finalising a wedding proposal of which the wedding would take place immediately after.

Another clan called the Star Clan had come to propose an alliance with the Moon Clan through marriage. The Star Clan is a powerful clan of people who are closely connected to stars, and can manipulate them however they want to create attacks like novas and supernovas or even Black Holes. But what truly makes them powerful is the power to assimilate with the Sun.

Once a Star Clansmen has assimilated with the Sun, he or she automatically becomes a God of Light, Life, Drought and even the Day. Once upon a time, a Moon and Star Clansmen formed a collision and dominated the once known as the Gold Realm, without equal, their powers complemented each other in indescribable ways, that’s why the Star Clan was proposing an alliance between the two.

But this alliance wasn’t just about the compatibility between the two clans, it was because other clans were also rising to prominence at a fast pace and the Star Clan feared that one day, they’d be ambushed and be swallowed by the other clans.

{How many times should we tell you? Anya is already married and it isn’t an ordinary marriage where the two spouses just nod their heads and it’s official, she did a Life Marriage Ritual where hers and her husband’s lives are intertwined and inseparable. Please, choose another person!} said the Moon Clan Matriarch.

{Eleanor, please understand. Soz is the greatest talent our Star Clan has produced. He has successfully assimilated nine suns into himself and reached an unprecedented level, even the Yggdrasil Gods proposed a marriage alliance with us. If it’s the matter of the husband then we challenge him to a Life and Death Battle, the winner takes all.} said an old man with hair and eyes that seemed to contain the infinite stars.

{Tiz, my hands are tied in this matter. If you want, convince Anya yourself, only then will we move forward.} said Eleanor.

{Little girl, we challenge your husband to a Life and Death Duel where the winner will get your hand in marriage and in case you want to refuse, we have this.}

Tiz took out a scroll made from diamond. As for how to flatten a diamond and turn it into a scroll, only the person who did it knew.

{You got the Governor’s Approval Scroll? But how?!} exclaimed Eleanor in complete shock. The Governor was the person who governed the bubble and everything inside it and once he or she gave an approval of something, the other party could only agree or face the wrath of a monstrous entity who could kill an entire clan with just a thought.

Now, Anya didn’t have a choice but to agree because it wouldn’t just be her being implicated but also her family.

{Haa... Let me try to call him through our wedding connection and see if it works.} said Anya and tried to contact Lucius through their unbreakable bond.

As she was busy with that, an overbearing aura suppressed all the Clansmen present in the Moon Clan. This aura was dark, ominous and evoked the evil thoughts hidden in one’s heart or mind.

{The Moon Clan shall become my slaves and capture Anomalies for me! I’ve already captured your Governor and he’s now also my slave so rejoice for being slaves of Lord Blackened Heart!} said the ghostly figure, causing the Moon Clan to despair.

{Let’s start with the weak ones first before moving on to the strong ones.} said Blackened Heart as his zip-like mouth opened wider and wider then he spewed a black gas that completely engulfed the entire territory of the Moon Clan. After a few minutes, the gas dissipated and the weakest Moon Clansmen had changed in appearance.

Black hair, black eyes, black mouth, tongue, teeth, saliva and then covered in black veins. They didn’t look any different from Vengeance.

{Sun Art: Absolute Purification!}

Soz quickly took action and transformed himself into a Godly Being of absolute brilliance, vanquishing any and all forms of darkness but against Lord Blackened Heart, it was just like someone throwing dust at him.

{Darkness.}

He only said one word and Soz was engulfed in darkness that quickly devoured all the light his body was emitting and the end result was Soz who looked like he was dipped in ink.

{Is there anyone else who wants to act like a hero...? Good, now I will continue with my business.}

...

Lucius who was in deep sleep in the Infinite Space felt something nudge him to try and wake him up. Lucius was too drowsy to focus on whatever was trying to wake him up but the nudging became stronger and stronger until Lucius was annoyed that someone was disturbing his peaceful sleep.

|WHAT?!| he shouted.

Countless stars around him were destroyed, creating another Void Space. While asleep, Lucius had allowed himself to float around in space like everything else in space, not remaining stationery. Looking around, Lucius didn’t find anyone and remembered that only he could live in the Infinite Space without a fear of any threats.

Whatever was nudging him came from deep within his Soul where an unbreakable bond existed but Lucius could break it with only a thought.

|It’s Anya, let me go quickly and see... wait, what if this is Lumen’s trap to lure me in. That bitch has countless tricks up her sleeve but this is my wife we’re talking about, after the wedding, I haven’t seen her for so long. I’ll just send my consciousness, I don’t think she can directly affect me through that.| said Lucius to himself and sent his consciousness through the bond.

At Lucius’s current level, his speed transcended Time and Space so his consciousness reached Anya’s location instantly after he sent it and appeared in front of everyone. His appearance was that of when he obtained the Moon Bloodline. When he appeared, an unpleasant smell permeated the air.

{Who are you?} asked Lord Blackened Heart. Lucius didn’t reply immediately but looked at his wife who was kneeling down and having trouble breathing.

|This horrible stench, making my wife sick.| said Lucius in an annoyed voice and waved his hand and all of the black gas in the air disappeared and also Blackened Heart’s aura.

Lord Blackened Heart couldn’t believe what he was seeing. That black gas and his aura when combined created a domain, a domain that no one could break. That’s why it only took him a word to suppress Soz without any fanfare or struggle, in this domain, he was all powerful and his word was law but now, just a casual wave of a hand had completely destroyed his domain.

{Who are you?!} he asked again and released his entire Advanced True God aura, a being who could erase a million universes with just a thought.

|Come here.| said Lucius and opened his palm. Blackened Heart’s aura also dissipated and he shrank until he was small enough to float on Lucius’s palm. Everyone present in the scene was astounded by this scene. The unreasonably powerful True God was defeated with just two words from this unknown person, a True God!

|Anya, I’ve missed you.| said Lucius while helping Anya stand up.

{Lucius, is it really you? Is this really you.} asked Anya in joy and excitement and hugged him.

|No, this is a wisp of my consciousness. I now live in the Infinite Space, I can take you with me if you want.|

{Stay here with me. Lolitron is also here, grandpa, father and mother too. My whole family is here, except for you. Only you aren’t with us.}

|This... fine, I’ll stay with you but if Lumen tries to do something to me again, I’m gonna have to leave.|

{No problem.}

|Blackened Heart, you will now be my wife’s slave for as long as she wishes.| said Lucius and the word ’Slave’ was engraved on Blackened Heart’s very Soul.

|And you...| said Lucius while grabbing at the air.

|Wake up.|

The so-called Lumen Race Governor came back to life. Yes, all of Blackened Heart’s slaves are dead people whom he controls like puppets.

|Now, what to do with you and our Star Clan... Dare to covet my wife!|
