Myriad Devils-Chapter 281: The calm before the storm

The Realm Father, known as Elshen, had no official title just yet.

His actions in the Fantasy Jade Pavilion had spread throughout the ancient city over the course of many months.

Shattering Blood was slain by his voice, or by a glance... the true nature of his death was not official; however, many came to one conclusion...

Realm Father Elshen was illogically strong amongst realm fathers.

Amongst Realm Fathers, the only measurement of strength was separated into One Fold, Two Fold, all the way to Ten Fold.

The Master of Ancient Black Star was at least Six Folds, and Shattering Blood was around Five to Six Folds as well.

There was a rumor that the Master of Ancient Black Star had been defeated in one strike by Realm Father Elshen.

His feat of slaying Shattering Blood in one move, augmented by this rumor, propelled Elshen’s rumored strength to at least eight or nine Folds.

It was more than likely to be Ten Folds, but the number of Realm Fathers at Ten Folds throughout the Heavenly Abodes could be counted on one hand!

These were Realm Fathers who had touched upon the strength of Dimension Lords!

Like the three Realm Father Generals that lead the Human species in the cosmic war taking place in the Chaotic Ruins Chaos Field.

The General of Brutality, the General of Heaven Splitting, and the General of Void Shrinking...

So most Elven creatures of the ancient city’s society were still in a period of disbelief. How could such a distinguished Realm Father appear from nowhere?

Even so, there was one thing that had become an iron-clad truth.

Whether or not his strength was genuinely in the realm of the Dimension Lord, Realm Father Elshen’s wealth, was certainly...

It was common knowledge that his level of wealth was something that would make a Dimension Lord nod in approval.

Amongst the many establishments in the ancient city, there were two that he was known to visit regularly.

The first was naturally the Fantasy Jade Pavilion.

It was said that Mystifying Jade Fantasy herself welcomed him, and when he went to Fantasy Jade Pavilion, he booked the entire floor.

How many ounces of Dark Gold did he really have?

Was he making Dark Gold?

One must understand, cosmos forgers would be deemed rich if they had some hundreds of thousands of Dark Gold Sand.

Millions of Dark Gold Sand could only produce an ounce of Dark Gold, so even the realm fathers’ entire fortune, outside of cosmic treasures, would amount to some hundreds to thousands of ounces of Dark Gold.

They could not begin to imagine, because if they really knew the true amount his Dark Gold tallied up to due to his identity in the Domain of Dreams...

Anyway, the second establishment was named Revered Phoenix & Dragon Restaurant, where Dragons and Phoenixes were a dish best served raw.

Well, it really depended on one’s taste.

Outside of the Revered Phoenix & Dragon Restaurant.

The restaurant’s owner stepped out to welcome their most important guest in recent times.

In truth, the restaurant was overseen by a realm father because the owner was a Dimension Lord.

However, this was not a particularly powerful Dimension Lord.

If the rumors were true, Realm Father Elshen and the owner of the Revered Phoenix & Dragon Restaurant were almost comparable in strength.

The World Cooking Dimension Lord was a middle-aged Elven man with a round belly and chubby face. He was dressed in yellow robes, with long yellow hair tied into a ponytail and blue eyes.

No one in the ancient city had a deeper comprehension of the principle of Food.

It was said that if he so wished, even otherworldly creatures would become overweight after eating his food.

And the scent of his food was hypnotizing, so there was no way to resist.

Once growing weight, one’s strength and speed would begin to plummet, they would begin moving sluggishly, and even their mind would be affected, growing more and more addicted to the meals.

The World Cooking Dimension Lord did not need to make meals regularly in his restaurant.

Though he only had an unfathomable soul, besides other Dimension Lords, there was rarely any realm father that could withstand tasting his food.

Adorned in glittering jewels radiating intense cosmic power, he was incredibly vibrant as he welcomed Realm Father Elshen, who appeared alongside Ancestor Green.

"It is this humble Lord’s great honor to welcome you once again, Realm Father Elshen." He said, his voice overly passionate.

One must understand, when he saw Realm Father Elshen, he saw Dark Gold...

This realm father was a walking Dark Gold mine.

A powerful one, and one with the backing of Mystifying Jade Fantasy, who had the support of the City Lord, so there were no funny ideas...

But nothing changed the fact that this was a walking Dark Gold mine!

’Is this the first time a realm father with an abstract soul has crossed paths with a Dimension Lord with an unfathomable soul?’ Elshen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

In truth, he had a human side.

So he found this funny.

Laughing, deep in his throat, his hand reached out and tapped on the fatty shoulder of the World Cooking Lord.

"After the first time, I think I’ve become addicted, you bastard." Elshen jokingly said.

"Addicted?" The World Cooking Lord exaggeratedly analyzed Elshen’s figure, and he tilted his head and doubtfully said, "Well then, why the hell are you still so in shape?!"

"Give me the secret, please." He said, half-serious. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Maybe I can finally get a Dao companion and settle down for eternity."

Ancestor Green silently stood a half-step or so behind Elshen.

He observed this interaction between a Realm Father and a Dimension Lord with a sense of fascination...

No matter how many times it occurred, he could not grow accustomed, and there were other Elves close by, and they shared in his fascination as well.

When the trio retreated into the restaurant, they quickly ascended to the highest floor.

This alone would be an insignificant matter; however, on their way to the top floor, they were brought to a halt...

Someone had called out to them, or more so toward Elshen.

’I have fans now?’ Elshen inwardly sighed with a sly smile playing on his lips, but Ancestor Green’s threatening voice resounded in his ears, washing away these narcissistic thoughts.

"If you’ve come looking for revenge, I would warn you not to try anything funny, Heaven Drowning Blood Calamity!"
