Chapter 42: Birth of [Immortal Cosmic Energy]
(A/N: This one is a looong chapter, something like 2-3 chapters combined in 1. I was writing with my own flow and completely forgot about the word limits. Sorry if it bothers you!)
.....
As soon as the carriage stopped, Valentina stepped out of it wearing a black top and black short skirt with black-colored high heels which showed her slender legs and seductive curves in full glory.
*Gulp*
King Abbott who was there to welcome his guests gulped audibly.
'Wowww~' thought King Abbott with a lascivious smirk.
Although he knew he could not make Valentina his, but who would know what will happen behind closed doors before she leaves to go back to Delta city.
After King Abbott caught his concubine cheating on him with a mere guard, he find consolation in the fact that there were various women on Earth who cheated on their man.
He felt great after thinking he was not in this misery alone.
Now he was thinking, how great it would be to put a green hat on the Emperor.
After all, he was already among one of the rebel leaders. So what if he takes Emperor's concubine for himself? Undercurrents are already in full swing, he could have one of the biggest gains during these events by making such a powerful and stunning woman his and his alone.
Valentina gave a charming smile upon seeing King Abbott's smirk filled with lust. She was itching for a fight and to her, this man in front of her was the perfect target.
Soon another beauty came out of the carriage wearing a similar outfit but with everything in pink color.
*Gulp*
King Abbott gulped audibly again after looking at the most seductive succubus he has ever seen, his lecherous eyes roamed around Ares's body shamelessly.
But-
"What are you looking at pig?" Valentina yelled as her eyes brimmed with fury.
*Swoosh*
A neon-blue colored scythe appeared in her hands, her legs covered in similar colored boots, and
*BAM!*
She vanished into thin air and appeared before King Abbott in an instant.
Although King Abbott was also SSS-rank, yet even with his perception he couldn't see Valentina at all.
The next second her scythe was aimed at his neck grazing his skin and a few drops of blood could be seen running across the edge of the scythe.
"Look at my daughter one more time with those eyes and I promise you, I won't hesitate to gouge your eyes and make you parade naked through the entire city with your tiny disgust for all the men to look at and feel pride for having something better than their King," said Valentina slowly and coldly.
Her expression was of complete disregard and indifference as if she was not talking to the King of Arda kingdom but an actual pig!
But King Abbott was taken aback. His head started spinning at top gears to find the answer to the question that just popped in his head...
The guards surrounding the King only felt a cool breeze passing by when they heard the chilling voice from behind as they looked towards their King who they were supposed to 'protect' had the edge of a scythe across his neck.
"I-I u-understand Lady Valentina!" stuttered King Abbott.
"B-but, how did you know?" he asked in a meek and low voice.
"Know what?" Valentina was confused, what did she know about King Abbott? She didn't know herself.
"T-that thing you talked about earlier, how?"
Valentina had a sudden flash of enlightenment as she smirked and whispered, "No wonder that slut cheated on you"
King Abbott clenched his fists as his nails dug in his flesh. This was humiliation! Every time someone reminded him of that horrible nightmare where he felt his heart ache after witnessing his concubine in the act made his blood boil. He was enraged...
But soon he calmed down as he thought about who he was facing...
"Tsk" Valentina clicked her tongue when she saw her provocation didn't work as she thought this man in front of her was such a huge coward.
King Abbott on the other hand relaxed a little as Valentina's Scythe evaporated.
He never thought the difference between him and Valentina would be so big.
He suddenly remembered the black-robed individual who warned him of Valentina.
'No wonder so many people fear her' thought King Abbott about his foolishness of underestimating Valentina.
His earlier thoughts of putting a green hat on Emperor and welcoming him to the club disappeared instantly and only now that he remembered her stunning smile which she gave him upon exiting the carriage stuck his mind...
He thought she was asking for it, he thought she was nothing but a harlot similar to his concubine who cheated on him...but now coupled with the rumors that she was a battle-maniac who loved to fight and destroy things...it wasn't difficult for a politician like him to put two and two together.
'What a dangerous woman! How the hell does Emperor manage to keep her under control?' thought king Abbott as he felt a chill running down his spine.
He felt extremely lucky of witnessing Valentina's powers before he made a mistake and lose his life or something even more 'important'...
Little did he know Emperor was a shrewd individual and after she gave birth to Noah, her existence was insignificant to him, thus he stayed as far as possible from her.
"Calm down mother~"
"Do you think I would let anything happen to Ares? As long as I am with her nobody can touch a single hair of hers, not even you, mother"
Valentina flinched upon hearing Noah's voice in her head.
She didn't know how much strength Noah was hiding but now, she had her eyes suddenly filled with even more excitement as she turned around and looked at Noah with a small smile planted across her face.
She walked back towards Noah and Ares and asked mentally "Oh really~?"
Her smile grew wider and wider with each step she took.
She always wanted to fight someone stronger than her to test her limits...but she never found anyone who can give her a fight at the same level of cultivation.
Forget about the same level, she was easily able to destroy people at a higher level of cultivation...
"Let's find that out now...Should I suppress my cultivation?" asked Valentina mentally as she took another step towards Noah.
Noah understood her thoughts and replied "Cultivation is just a myth! The real power is the law of your mastery!"
She abruptly stopped as her smile vanished from her gorgeous face.
She looked at Noah as if she was looking at a true monster...
Her icy-blue eyes glowed even brighter mysteriously.
Suddenly all the mana gathered in her body was forcefully expelled for some mysterious reason.
Not a single speck of mana was left inside her body.
The next second,
Her body overflowed with [Energy]...
The fact that both [Energy] and [Anti-Energy] are the two sides of the same coin flashed across Valentina's mind.
The fact that cultivation is nothing but a myth also flashed across her mind at the same time.
"Unbelievable-" Noah muttered in disbelief as he felt the strong [Energy] fluctuations all over Valentina's body.
Valentina's eyes radiated [Energy]. Her body emitted [Energy]. Her [Soul] dazzled with [Energy].
She has always tried her best to push herself beyond the limits of SSS-rank but never found it anyway.
Never.
She hated herself for being powerless in front of a formidable opponent like the entire Empire.
She hated the Emperor for taking advantage of her but she couldn't do anything as she was already at her limits.
She tried her best to focus on [Energy] and [Anti-Energy] laws but even then, she couldn't push past the limits of SSS-rank.
She hated herself for being powerless even after her strength increased by countless times as her daughter was almost r*ped in her own house. She hated the Emperor even more because he was the one who made her daughter 'entertain' the guest.
Furthermore, she couldn't do anything to Adam as he was taken in custody almost immediately and was promised a public execution because of his crimes.
She did not want this! She wanted to gouge out his eyes and rip off his rod, sever his limbs and throw him in the middle of a wolf pack.
But she was powerless to make that decision. A simple execution where he would be hanged or his head would be chopped off was not what she wanted.
And she knew, the Emperor didn't care about Ares, she was just a tool for him.
Even if anything happened to her, he would have only taken that opportunity to further propagate his own agendas by punishing the perpetrators in the name of 'Justice'.
Her desire for vengeance increased day by day as she kept looking at her children being used as political tools just like she was used back in her day.
Noah was used as a chip to gain the trust of rebel kings. Ares's future would be no different than Seraphina's.
How could she accept this? A mother who loves her children the most in her life.
How could she accept this? How could she watch as her children become tools just like her?
How could she accept this? When she knows about Ares's feelings which will be looked down upon by the entire Earth and Ares would be shamed by everyone, unless...unless someone unrivaled stood by her side to protect her and shut their mouths?
How could she accept this? When her children's happiness can be taken away just like that on an asshole's whim who she hates the most.
*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*
*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*
How could she accept to remain powerless?
She wanted Strength for her Revenge!
She wanted Strength for her children's happiness!
She wanted Strength for her own happiness!
Blue-colored lightning cracked in the sky, the ground below her quaked with glowing blue light!
Several [Immortals] across the entire Universe turned their heads towards planet Earth and watched with curious gazes.
'The Queen' sitting in the underground chamber was completely unbothered and didn't even glance once towards that particular direction where several [Immortals] were looking.
She didn't care about anything else except that man...
King Abbott felt a chill running down his spine as he retreated with his guards inside the palace.
He thought this was some mysterious event related to Dungeons, thus he didn't bother to stay near that place and directly went to hide in the underground chambers which secretly led to an escape route out of the city.
He didn't dare to stay near some mysterious phenomena, especially after hearing what happened in Gabon city.
After the events of the Gabon city, many Kingdoms were under heavy stress and they built many underground structures to help them escape.
These structures were built by several practitioners proficient in [Earth] element.
Although the rulers rarely cared about the people, yet there were many underground routes built for commoners as well.
After all, who would they rule over if there is nothing but buildings in a city?
Many guards started the evacuation process of the people and within a minute the entire city was evacuated.
The fast response and the early preparations of many Kingdoms helped them in achieving such a feat.
Imperial guards tried to escape with Noah and Ares, but both of them refused and Noah ordered them to escape.
They were forced by the Divine Oath to follow the orders of Noah, Valentina, and Ares.
Valentina just stood still without moving, Ares was panicking, and Noah who was the only person calm ordered them to leave, so they had to follow the orders.
Noah took Ares's hand and also retreated to a safe distance, but he was still in the city, looking at Valentina from a distance.
Valentina just stood there in a daze.
She was still thinking about the words which Noah said,
To anybody else, it would be like random non-sense but to Valentina, it struck like the missing key she has been trying to find.
She was hailed as 'The Genius' in the Delos Empire for a reason...She found her missing key.
Puzzles and mysteries were solved in an instant in her mind as she kept thinking about what is reality and what is a fantasy.
What is myth? What is factuality?
What is validity? What is veracity?
?
?
?
Cultivation is a lie! Valentina's [Soul] roared as she came to the conclusions of her own deductions.
My body is a lie! Valentina's [Soul] roared again.
My [Soul] is a lie!
Strangely her [Soul] didn't roar this time...as if it was caught red-handed for misleading her... Valentina's consciousness roared this time as her body erupted with blinding blue [Energy]...
*Crack* Crack* *Crack*
Soon, Valentina's skin started shattering like a piece of glass, her bones completely shattered and muscles and flesh dissolved into something like a blue mass...
*Crack* Crack* *Crack*
Something deep inside Valentina started cracking, it looked was a small orb of pure milky white color that resembled marble.
It was ethereal in nature, it was there in her body when she was born in this world, yet nobody will be able to find its existence even if they chop her body into mincemeat.
It was Valentina's [Soul]. Several cracks started appearing over it as neon-blue [Energy] glimmered out of those cracks.
Her body was changing!
Her [Soul] was changing!
Her existence was changing!
She was leaving the [Soul] and body behind which were nothing but a shell to limit mortals from attaining a higher form of power.
It was a horrible sight to look at as Valentina's body was being destroyed. Any man would feel pity for such a stunning beauty to lose her life like this...
"MOM!!" Ares cried as she looked at her mother who was dying...
Ares then looked towards Noah who was holding her hand strongly, "Brother Let me go!" Ares cried again.
"Relax, we cannot interfere in this, it's all up to her and we should trust her." Noah was looking at Valentina with an expression that was full of bewilderment.
"Brother do something!!! Mom- " She looked towards her brother who instead of having an expression filled with sorrow, sadness and mournfulness had an expression of surprise and bamboozlement.
She felt there was something which was missing, her brother's reaction!...she knew Noah wouldn't just sit around if he could do something to help her...
She tried feeling Noah's emotions through their connection and the next moment she opened her eyes wide as she felt genuine surprise, happiness, confusion, and excitement?
She was at a loss for words...She was unclear of what to think of it.
Ares bit her lips as she held Noah's hand even tighter and asked, "W-what is happening?"
"Don't worry, and stay here. Nothing will happen to mother." though Noah was surprised that Ares calmed down this easily without asking anything else but then he remembered that Ares have been acting weird for a long time. He made a mental note to ask about it in the future.
Ares heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon the entire area around Valentina was covered in bluish-colored [Energy] and nobody could look at what was happening inside except Noah.
"Blasphemy!" shouted a woman with silver eyes who was running towards the area where Valentina was standing.
"Where do you think you are going Saintess Esther?" asked Noah as soon as he appeared in front of the Saintess.
"Heretic! Get out of my way or I'll wipe you out along with whatever is inside that area" yelled Esther as she pointed towards the blueish area.
"Oh? But I don't know what I did wrong or my mother who is inside that area." Noah asked in a calm tone.
"Y-your mother?" Esther uttered in disbelief.
She didn't know the target. She only got a message from an oracle of the Divine Goddess to wipe out the person covered in blue light in Trynis city immediately.
"Yes! my mother! Tell me what she did wrong?"
"I don't care!!!" yelled Esther again as she was about to take a step towards that area
But-
Noah took out his Saber calmly and blocked her from moving any further with his hands on the hilt of the Saber.
"How dare you mess with the Goddess's will? Heretics!" Esther's beautiful visage distorted to that of anger and maliciousness.
"If you don't tell me what my mother did wrong...I will stop you no matter who am I going against"
"Brat!" Esther felt her tongue-tied for some reason.
She had nothing against Valentina which proved her to be a heretic.
Unlike Noah, Valentina didn't conduct experiments like a mad scientist. Divine Goddess had nothing to frame Valentina.
"See? If you don't have anything to prove that my mother is a so-called 'heretic', how can you take action against her without any reason?"
"Go back where you came from and ask your Divine Goddess on what blasphemy my mother committed like the good dog you are."
"Unless you find anything, don't come back here to bark in front of my face"
"HERETIC!" Saintess Esther shouted and took out a golden trident as she rushed towards Noah to crush his heart in rage.
Noah was calmly waiting for Esther to attack him as he held the hilt of his Saber strongly. He waited patiently for Esther to come close...
But-
*BOOOM!*
