Everything will be my way!-Chapter 567
Chapter 567
Kyon unknowingly entered into a big game. He got into a foreign field, where he took the place of a significant figure, which turned out to be useful to the 0th general. That is why, at every meeting with him, the guy thought that the man knew and controlled much more than it might seem at first glance.
The zeroth general continued the story: ?On the day when Valeera raped you and revealed the whole truth, I immediately realized that such a proud person as the messenger of the goddess would not tolerate such an attitude. It was expected that you would leave her, breaking her heart, which, however, would only raise your value in her eyes. This means that the probability of a successful third shock (when we execute you in front of her) would become even higher! But…?
?But no matter how well things were going, we couldn't hurry. Are you aware that when becoming an imperial phaser, practitioners dramatically strengthen the connection with the soul and take it to a new level? This renewed connection also greatly improves the quality of information transfer from the brain to the soul, therefore, when a person suffers, his soul experiences even more vivid sensations, which greatly increases the likelihood of a successful shock. That's why we had to wait for Valeera to ascend to the imperial phase, because without it, the chance of a successful unprecedented third shock would be negligible.?
?It would have made sense to capture you until she became an imperial phaser, but the problem was that for the third shock, you would have to transform into Zosimos. And knowing your stubborn nature, I thought it was too risky to force you to change your appearance. Therefore, I decided to just keep you busy with something: I sent you to the order to fulfill some absurdly difficult condition, and at the same time I told my beloved Lanatelle about you as a miracle master in alchemy, yet you became "The Legendary Lord of the Cauldron" for a reason.?
{Wait… Is he talking about Stephanie? Is she Lanatelle?!} – this realization shocked Kyon. Stephanie is a royal phaser. How can she be a bloody empress? Is this some incredible puppet manipulation technique? It looks like that. Now it is clear what happened at the moment when he used "The sovereign's stare" – for one second she lost contact with her "doll".
The guy was also surprised that the empress was looking for an alchemist not for making medicine, but for training. Of course, she could not afford to hire an alchemist of the 1st rank from Saturn, but she still managed to get the messenger of the goddess, deliberately ruining the ventilation and, in fact, setting the whole order onto him.
This means that after 100 individual lessons, she concluded that she was far from "The Legendary Lord of the Cauldron", so she nevertheless decided to recruit him for the position of an alchemist - he demonstrated such amazing skills.
?To create ideal conditions, there was one unresolved question: how to make you transform into Zosimos before execution? However, the decision came in time, and even without effort: your feelings for Valeera. Considering all the circumstances, it was foolish to doubt that you still cherish your wife. Therefore, as soon as she stops writing letters, you will definitely appear at the headquarters in the guise of Zosimos in the near future, which, in fact, happened three days later!? – the general grinned wickedly.
{I'll knock out all the bastard's teeth…} – Kyon promised himself, not for the first time.
?By knocking you out, I made sure that a nimble mouse like you didn't escape in any way. All that remained for me then was to wait for an invitation to the ritual. I spent my whole life in the depths of the department, like a frog at the bottom of a well. Every time I looked up, I saw a magnificent phoenix regally sitting in her cozy nest… She is beautiful in every sense. She is my blood angel. The day finally came when I had to merge with my sister! To become her first and only man she will love in order to continue the great family of purebred Bathory in the future! But…?
Kyon was taken aback by what he heard. Are they Bathory siblings?!
The dreamy expression that flashed in the eyes of the 0th general abruptly disappeared: ?But I made a fatal mistake. Lanatelle also had her own spies. She found out that you tortured Valeera in the department dungeon in the guise of Dick! She decided that the probability of success would be higher if she performed the ritual with you in the lead role! She didn't even say a word to me… Because of you, I was left with nothing!? – the enraged general seemed about to pounce on the young man. There was a fierce flame burning in his mad gaze, as if he was an enraged wild beast.
?You have no idea how much I wanted to kill you!? – the general said grimly. – ?That would solve all my problems. However, it was obvious that Lanatelle had taken care of your safety by putting a lot of formations on you… No matter how much I wanted to kill you, there was no point in even trying… I would only lose her trust.?
A malicious chuckle almost escaped Lovr's lips: the 0th general outwitted himself! He decided that the messenger of the goddess had made some kind of deal with Lanatelle… No wonder, because a week later he appeared in the order alive and unharmed. How else to explain it?
?No matter how hard I tried, I could not understand only two things: why did Lanatelle kill Monty, Horace, Vladimir, Julius and Feng? And why didn't she perform the ritual with you on the same day? Why would she delay such an important event? What was your deal? I've told you so much, now it's your turn.?
?I have nothing to tell you.? – Kyon snorted.
In fact, he knew why Lanatelle had not invited him to her palace for so long: she wanted to earn the trust of the messenger of the goddess. The empress is a smart woman, and she is well aware that becoming a master of such a gifted person is a delayed ticket to the top of the world hierarchy. That's why she arranged everything in such a way that he achieved his title by his own efforts and thereby appreciated the fruits of his efforts, and therefore his master. And the fact that she gave him her virginity when he became her direct disciple spoke of her highest trust in him, as well as her extreme gratitude for transformation medicine. This act was supposed to strengthen their bond. She really deserves her high position.
?Did you hold a grudge because you're going to die soon?? – the general smiled knowingly and still decided to finish the story. – ?Due to the fact that you delayed the ritual for some reason, I came up with a great plan…?
?To enslave your sister?? – Kyon interjected sarcastically.
?Your contempt is prejudiced. I didn't do this because of my feelings. Unlike you, humans, I overshadow my emotions. The fact is that she and I are the last full-blooded representatives of the Bathory family. For the sake of the revival of our house, I am ready to make any sacrifice! My sister doesn't share my beliefs, but that doesn't change anything. I have to make her fall in love with me and further the family line! It's not for you to judge me, boy!?
?And what does the drop of blood have to do with it?? – Kyon asked dryly.
?Even a goddess won't break the phoenix barrier without the drop of blood. Unless at the cost of her own life… Fortunately, I knew exactly how you would get your trophy. You can't even imagine how unbearably difficult it was for me to come to terms with the fact that a pathetic human would take my sister's virginity… But a great goal requires a great sacrifice!?
?And in the end you fell into a trap like a total sucker?? – Kyon asked mockingly.
The zeroth general broke into a bloodthirsty grin: ?Since I'm her brother, I'm not going to die. I even doubt that she will punish me, yet for a gift in the form of "The Child of the Void" with three shocks, any sins can be forgiven. But you, boy, are about to die… A very, very miserable death. You will pay for what you have done.?
?Wait!? – Kyon sharply put out his palm when the man twitched.
?What? Oh, yes… The cornered mouse will burst into an eloquent waterfall of a wide variety of arguments, just to prevent the cat from eating it… But all you can do is play for time. But what's the point? You know perfectly well that the result is unchanged, so why delay??
?I have something to say.?
?Last words before death? I'm listening.? – the general nodded benevolently.
Lovr cleared his throat and spoke: ?There is no doubt, you are smart. Your nets have entwined the entire empire. You control everything in this state. When I stepped on the board, I tried to figure out for a long time, was I your opponent or did you make me move? And if the second option, what piece do I represent: a queen, a rook, or maybe a knight? It sounded like I was a pawn. However, answer me, if I'm just a pawn, then why will I still be the winner??
The words of the messenger of the goddess confused the 0th general: ?What do you mean??
?You're smart. You'll guess.? – Kyon showed an obscene gesture to the man, and black wings consisting of darkness opened behind the young man's back – the flight formation that the matriarch of succubi gave him had just been activated.
~whoosh~
With one flap of his wings, the skinny guy instantly took off at such a speed that he left the trap of enriched pyrobloin, which had practically no effect on the shape of the wings, because they were created not by anyone, but by the incomprehensible supreme phaser (10).
The eyes of the 0th general almost popped out of their sockets, and his mouth parted. Juicy prey, driven into a hopeless situation, slipped right out from under his nose! All these frank speeches were made not to the future deceased, but to the future emperor of Rosarrio?! Now he will penetrate the barrier thanks to his ability and enslave his sister!
?AA-AAAA-AA-A-A-A-A-A-AA-AA!? – the man roared like a madman, jumping up 15 meters. – ?DON'T YOU DA-AAA-AA-AA-RE! I'LL KILL YOU! DON'T YOU DAA-A-AAA-AA-ARE! AA-AAAA-AA-A-A-A-A-A-AA-AA!?
Once in the palace of his enemy, Kyon decided to leave the flight formation in his pocket, not in the ring, from which nothing could be obtained inside the trap. The question is: how did he activate it? The answer is simple: the formations are activated as soon as a certain amount of pure energy gets into them. It doesn't matter what parameters are given to the energy.
Yes, it is impossible to control the outgoing energy, being surrounded by enriched pyrobloin. But nothing prevents its release. That's why Lovr leaned against the wall: to direct the energy coming out of him in a certain direction. Accordingly, the formation that was in the path of the energy flow was activated.
As a result, the gift from Giselle pulled Kyon out of the hopeless situation. All his hatred for succubi was gone. Now the young man felt gratitude to them at all, because dying at the hands of the 0th general is much worse than being captured by horned beauties.
With a sigh of relief, Lovr coldly looked at Lanatelle, made some calculations, accelerated slightly and, entering the astral, found himself inside the phoenix barrier, literally at arm's length from the bloody empress.
The woman was completely absorbed in the transformation. In fact, now she won't even notice if her hand is cut off or she is killed, that's how significant this process is.
The roars and screams of the 0th general no longer bothered him. It's time to enslave Lanatelle!
