Darius Supreme-Chapter 549
"Djanie, do not announce my successful ascension to anyone or anything. Also, continue running the trials normally until I return, but extend the trial period from whenever to a yearly period." Darius instructed the Djinn calmly.
The Djinn seemed shocked but this, but was silent for a while. "I am bound to obey all your instructions Desert King, but may I ask why you have taken this choice?"
"Do you think I want Ludo alone?" Darius asked the Djinn with a soft smile.
Djanie's eyes narrowed as he processed Darius' words slowly, and they widened when he understood the meaning behind them. When he gazed at Darius now, there was a hint of graveness in his eyes.
"… what an ambition." That was all the Djinn could say in the end.
"Mhm. Anyway, any candidates who manage to pass all five tests in the future are to head to this location to complete a final test from me personally." Darius indicated towards the area of the Divine Oasis.
"A final test?" Djanie muttered in confusion.
What would a final test be needed for if he was already decided to be the Desert King? The only reason such a thing could serve would be to herd all those who should have become Desert King in the false period towards Darius.
…
!!
Djanie broke out in cold sweat immediately. Darius began leaving the tower without even gazing at the spirit, but Djanie felt like this new Deser King had his dark hazel eyes on him at all times, piercing his very being to read his deepest thoughts.
For the first time, a Djinn was spooked by a human. How ironic.
......…
Darius and his two Branded Servants exited the Tower of Spirits, entering into the sandy world of Ludo once more. Outside, the guides who brought them over were waiting for their clients.
Seeing that Darius and co were the last to come out, many eyes were on them, hopeful that something would have occurred. However, Darius simply sighed with lament and shook his head.
This made the hopes of all the guides dim, and they felt a crushing weight on their souls. Shamael who had led them here almost looked like he was about to crumple on himself.
Darius walked over and forwarded 1,500 Supreme Coins to him, which shocked the magistrate. "Thank you for the help, Brother Shamael. Without your discerning guidance, things would not have been this easy for me."
"This is a small token of my appreciation. I have also sent you a land title deed for the inner section of Safemoon, granting you citizenship and a manor near the core section. I want you to gather every magistrate of power on Ludo for a meeting in your manor in 3 months' time." Darius instructed slowly.
Shamael felt his mind go blank when he saw the Supreme Coins and the deed, but he managed to nod and assure Darius that he would get his task done at all costs.
Satisfied, Darius immediately teleported himself and his two Branded Servants away, leaving the District Magistrate wondering what the hell was happening.
......…
Darius appeared in the Divine Oasis with his two Branded Servants, right within the cottage itself. Before anything else, he turned to the two and observed them slowly before asking.
"So, did you notice the changes?"
Gunner and Xela shared an uncertain look before nodding.
"We… are not sure. On one hand, we have a set of memories detailing something has changed, yet we also seem to have a new set of memories stating that this was how things had always been." Xela answered slowly.
Darius rubbed his chin. "Here's what happened…"
Darius explained the truth of Faust to them, as well as the nature of reality. Both of them took it well, Gunner especially looking unfazed. Jeez, at least panic a little in the face of learning the truth of creation and the limit of your mortality!
Xela was quite bothered by this actually, but she could only sigh and accept it. Rather, it was her two Divine Concepts that were prancing crazily. Just like the Gods of Elysium, they had believed they were among the biggest bigshots in the world, only to find that they were merely a larger speck in the ocean.
Their turbulence affected Xela's mood, and Darius chuckled.
"The two of you, stop overreacting. Now that you know the limit of your existence, you also know how to quantify it and how to upgrade it, no?"
The two Divine Concepts which were screaming and thrashing about like headless chickens suddenly paused as they were shocked. They froze for a few seconds, processing Darius' words before realizing the truth of what he was saying.
Yes, unlike their fellow Divine Concepts who were still as ignorant and conceited as they had been, they now knew the truth. Right now, they could use it as an advantage to acquire all forms of power and to surpass whatever ideas they had for themselves previously.
After calming down, both of them became extremely embarrassed. According to their visualizations, they were two extremely beautiful goddesses.
The Life Concept having taken the form of a green-haired elf who was soft-hearted and wore baggy emerald robes, while the Light Concept was a white-haired elf who was tall and slender, but very benevolent and wore standard white robes.
Seeing their visualizations blush like this made Xela giggle. Whatever the case, the three of them all looked the same age and were very close. Otherwise, the two Divine Concepts wouldn't have agreed to share one vessel when there had been so many among the Fallon Elves who could fit their bill.
Darius shook his head and crossed his legs. "Now, before we return to Safemoon, I intend to spend a week here acclimatizing to our new situation. Hm, well, you two don't have much of a problem since Vena implanted new memories it seems, but I have a lot of things to do in the meantime."
A lot had happened after he received the Adept Quest.
He had broken through to the Adept stage and gained a more powerful Transmutation as well as skills, he had captured 5 Demigods and was preparing for war.
Darius was about to launch a satellite in space, he had perfected his magic skills up to the early Adept stage in the Test of Mettle and now, he had been granted an entirely new system that had overhauled most of its previous function for better and more diverse ones.
