CHAPTER 109: TRIAL OF THE HEART... THE WORLD OF MANIPULATION!

From being so weak they had stepped into the realms of... god sovereigns?? Was this a joke?

They stared at Kathryn, who sat on the throne and glanced at them coldly, in a daze. Obviously, they hadn’t realised that their talents had been destroyed just to improve their cultivation. Suddenly, they all bowed in unison and shouted loudly,

"We greet the Empress!"

Kathryn glanced at them, and a small smile formed on her lips. She turned to the elders and signalled towards them. As someone that understood others’ emotions greatly, she knew that this was the best time for them to take advantage of the cultivators and make them into death soldiers.

Soon, the elders led the cultivators out of the royal palace and to a new training camp where they would reforge them. Looking at the departing figures, Kathryn sighed...

"Surviving this calamity will truly be difficult..." As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at the distant skies as though reminiscing about something. Her expression soon became melancholic.

...

Kevin’s memory flashed, and he came up with the idea of using arrows instead of stones. Kathryn glanced at him and nodded repeatedly.

"That is a good idea!" she praised. She didn’t think that her brother, who was barely smart, could come up with such a great technique which would be most advantageous to her. She then said, "In that case, brother, you have to design the blueprints and go meet the blacksmiths to craft the arrows for you. They have to be unique, so you will discuss with the blacksmiths a way to make the arrows possess the most speed."

At this, Kevin scratched his head awkwardly. "Sister, how is it possible for me to do that?" He was confused. He felt that something had led him to create the arrows, but the description and everything else was blurry in his mind.

Seeing this, Kathryn shook her head with a resigned sigh. This was the brother she knew!

"Come, I’ll go to the blacksmith with you to prepare everything."

...

Just as the giant palm slapped towards Luka and he was terrified, the next instant the space quickly became chaotic once again... Luka watched in shock as the giant palm slapped onto the chaotic void and was rapidly disintegrated, causing the owner of the palm to retreat his hand hastily.

The demon stared at Luka in horror. He didn’t expect that the space storm would actually be caused by the weak human mortal in front of him. At first, he thought it was a coincidence and wanted to kill Luka again, but who would have expected another space storm to appear soon after... this was something that only occurred once in a thousand years!

Calming his heart, he looked at Luka deeply. He still didn’t believe that it was Luka that caused the space storm. With that, he struck out again, this time with an attack. The winds moved in terrifying disorder as his palm lunged forward. This time, he was using a demonic attack.

The God Realm demon’s unique demonic ability could control wind. As he attacked, countless trees were torn apart. However, just as the attack was about to hit Luka, the clouds churned and a thunderous noise resounded. For a moment, it felt like the skies had collapsed!

Luka watched in shock as the space in front of him fractured and cracked apart. This time, it was no longer a space storm. Rather... the fractured space quickly came together and began to rotate, quickly forming a tornado...

In an instant, it had become a chaotic space tornado... It quickly moved towards the demon, and before the demon could react, the attack had appeared in front of it. It was soon submerged under the attack. All Luka could hear were the wails of agony of the God Realm demon...

After a long time passed, the sounds finally subsided. Luka stared at the previous location of the demon. The demon was nowhere to be seen! He was stunned for a moment before his body trembled slightly. I did it? I really slayed a God Realm demon as a mortal? Luka’s body trembled in excitement. He couldn’t believe he had such strength.

However, on second thoughts, who was he? Luka! His parents had told him that he was blessed by the Goddess of Luck!!!

...

After Kranos was done celebrating with his family, he stood up. His back was straight. At this moment, he no longer held his walking stick. Through the countless simulations he had done, he had assumed certain things. He turned to his children and said,

"I’m leaving." After saying this, they were all stunned. They didn’t understand what Kranos meant. He clasped his hand behind his back and slowly walked away.

Samual called out, "Father! Your walking stick!"

"I don’t need it anymore," Kranos didn’t turn back and just said in a faint voice.

Samual was stunned and quickly realised that something was wrong. He quickly turned to his siblings who were stunned. "Something is wrong with father! Quick, inform the guards to stop him!"

As soon as Samual shouted, he rushed towards Kranos. Kranos paused his footsteps and glanced at them with a pair of cold and indifferent eyes. His thoughts moved rapidly and he calculated everything in an instant.

This world is trying to stop me? He immediately understood. Although it might seem like it was just his children who were trying to stop their father from making a rash decision, in truth, everything was being subtly influenced by this unique world. Kranos called it... the world of manipulation!

"Eternal Hunger, come," Kranos said calmly. And the next moment, surprisingly, Eternal Hunger appeared in his hand silently. I have twenty-five minutes... Kranos silently counted in his heart. He had this much time to deal with the trouble while using rapid thought, as after that the world of manipulation would affect his memories once again, causing him to forget about everything.

In truth, the time that rapid thought was active was thirty minutes. However, Kranos would use the remaining five minutes to write down everything in his ’diary’.

Looking at his children and everyone else rushing towards him, Kranos moved... and so did Eternal Hunger!
