Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 763 - 718: It Started Part 1

At the same time, when Alex and Priscilla were speaking, the emperor had returned to his throne room.

Immediately after sitting on his throne, he flicked his fingers, and one of the emperorʼs shadows manifested; this one codename was Silent Reaper, a master assassin. As for why he was the one that appeared on the emperorʼs call, it was because it was precisely this type of shadow the emperor needed.

ʼʼSilent Reaper, take two assassin shadows with you and go see what would happen in the Holy Crux empire in the following next days.ʼʼ The emperor ordered.

Silent Reaper nodded; just as he was about to go back, he seemed to have remembered something and stopped to ask.

ʼʼDo we need to kill?” His voice was so cold that it sent chill down to anyone that heard it; even the emperor was not an exception. The manʼs voice was so cold that it was borderline creepy.

ʼʼNo, just observe. The boy will take of everything. Stay on standby and report everything; further instructions will be conveyed later.ʼʼ

Silent Reaper nodded; he didnʼt need to ask who the boy was as there was only one person in Mysthia, the emperor valued so highly that he gave him his daughter; it was none other than Alex.

After Silent Reaper left, the emperor smiled, a chessboard suddenly appeared before him, and there was no chess piece on it.

Smiling, the emperor placed on chess piece atop of the chessboard, and shockingly, it began moving; if one looked closely, one would discover that in fact, there was a map on the chessboard, the chess piece Julius took out was none other than Silent Reaper, he wanted to create one in Alexʼs image but was afraid to anger that being sleeping in the boyʼs body, he was afraid of angering Nyx, she had warned him earlier not try to put a tracker on Alex when they fought.

ʼʼSigh! My son-in-law is too unfathomable; this is not a good thing. My sweet daughter needs to increase her strength; she needs to return to her former glory, the once human goddess. Only like this, she would not get swallowed by the storm surrounding the existence called Alexander Kael Touch.ʼʼ

Unexpectedly, Julius knew his daughterʼs secret. It is true when people say you canʼt hide anything from your parents if they didnʼt know it was because they didnʼt want to know. Artemia had since long known her father knew something, but to which extent she was unsure. Still, even with his intelligence network, he didnʼt know that Elseria was Typhania, the Elven goddess.

Back to the topic, Julius decided it was time to start the little game. Taking out a small blue gem used by the emperors to contact each other, Julius injected mana into the blue gem, and it shone brightly before connecting to the other side. An holographic image appeared before Julius.

From this holographic image, you could see the Pope sitting inside his throne. The moment Julius initiated the communication, Lucius the Pope lifted his head; his golden eyes shone as he asked.

ʼʼJulius, it has been a long time since you last contacted me.ʼʼ

Julius smiled and said, ʼʼItʼs because I wanted to see your hypocrite face.ʼʼ

Facing Juliusʼs provocative words, the Pope laughed.

ʼʼHohoho! I see that you are still sharp-tongued as always.ʼʼ

ʼʼAnd you are still laughing like a fanatic you are.ʼʼ Julius counterattacked.

After the small exchange of jabs, their expressions changed, becoming serious.

Lucius asked. ʼʼWhy do you contact me, Julius? Iʼm busy; Iʼm must receive the goddess oracle.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see, donʼt worry. I just want to ask, where is Luna? Give her back.ʼʼ Julius asked; his voice was cold, and he released a bit of his strength as he spoke; even the Pope, thousands of kilometers away, could feel it, but his expression didnʼt change.

ʼʼI donʼt know what you are talking about. Did Luna disappear? And why would I know anything about her whereabouts? Iʼm not her father as far I remember. Your joke is not funny at all, Julius; training all times has fried your brain?”

Luciusʼs expression didnʼt even twitch as he spoke these words; however, hidden under his big robe, his hands were shaking. His knuckles turned white from how tight his fists were clenched. At several points, he wanted to cut off the communication and hurry up and finish the preparations. Still, he knew but acting impulsively; he would be giving Julius and others a reason to doubt him.

Once doubt was installed, they could invade his privacy which could not be welcome at the moment; all he could do was to deny and not raise any suspicion, but inwardly the Pope was shocked for Julius to be asking this question could only mean one thing, that boy was back, it was faster than planned, but he was not too worried, before he could do anything it would have been late by then.

They were almost done preparing for their goddess to descend into her perfect vessel, and once she did, they would become the strongest empire swallowing the other empires.

ʼJust wait you all, I shall dominate the world as Supreme Pope enjoying endless glory. I will open the world door and establish a guild that will regulate the amount of people going on the other side.

My guild will become so big that the other worlds beside Mysthia will want a pie; using this to lure them out, I will conquer every single world on this plane, thus becoming the ultimate ruler of the middle realm. Hohohoho! This future is not far.ʼ

Julius had no idea what Lucius was thinking about, but he was sure it was nothing but something good. The way he was seeing things now, this man was doomed; he had angered someone he shouldnʼt have, someone with too much destiny, too much luck.

It was like an empire functioning on luck; if an empire possessed too much luck, it would be hard to be destroyed, everything standing in its way would become its nourishment; Alex is like that.

Sighing inwardly, Julius decided to end this farce; he had done his part.

ʼʼIt is that so? Sorry for disturbing you then. Forget that Iʼve asked.ʼʼ Julius immediately cut off the communication, and then he smiled.

”It started.”
