Chapter 859 - 859 73
"I apologize for their behavior, Fellow Daoist. Please indulge me a minute." the little girl replied and disappeared from my eyes.
"BOOM!" two of the ten toys completely disintegrated while the rest tumbled out from the scene with only trails of wreckage to mark their passage.
Though it was a ghastly outcome but i noticed that no lives were taken from the violent collision of forces. A smart move by a smart woman. I like.
"Can i offer you and the ladies a drink in my home, Fellow Daoist?" the little girl returned to her spot with these words of friendship.
And i would not be a man if i reject such generosity by one interesting doll.
"Lead the way, Nafia."
* * *
The little girl visibly shook and i anticipated that she would attack me within moments after my words. But i failed in my prediction as she regained her usual calm self.
The minute outburst of emotions along the raging flood of power that threatened to bare their fangs and eat me whole vanished as if they never existed in the first place.
Even the world that had been clouded by the blood red shade of her might returned all the colors back to their domains. Back into the dull white, blue, and dark mixture of the scenery.
"Please call me by my name. I am Alexis." said the little girl before me. She had even forgotten the honorifics and i like her more for that.
"Very well, Alexis. Does the offer still stand? Or do i have to kill you right now and get this over with?" i replied with a smile on my face.
She might be the top dog of the ants but in the end, she was still a pest in my eyes. And no ant nor dog can ever topple the throne that i have already began to erect in this reality.
"Yes, it does. Please..." Alexis recovered and worn her facade once more, behind the face that smiled so sweetly at my own.
"Go." i responded and vanished from the spot to gather my bitches and sequestered tin man.
"That is Alexis Blight, master. She holds the strongest power within a thousand galaxies from here." an unwanted opinion but i listened to it all the same.
After all, it was the job of a puppy to lick its master's toes clean.
"I know, Hannes. She might be the strongest ant but that's all she will ever be. A queen among ants and nothing more." i retorted audibly and i knew that the object of our topic heard it all too clearly.
She took flight and led the way for our shuttle.
Though we were travelling by a million light years with each breath, i was fully aware that Alexis could have outflown us by a wide margin if she so wished.
But what kind of good host would leave her special guests to eat her dust and even possibly lost sight of them entirely? So i dallied around and hugged a pair of beautiful women in my arms.
I knew that this trip was going to be a short one. Thirty minutes into our journey and our lead had finally slowed down. It took five minutes more before i witnessed a dark world loam before my eyes.
No light reflected on anything and a stupid brained fool would have depicted such planet as a dead one at first glance.
But i was not one of those of muddle headed maggots to be carelessly tricked into thinking like them. For what flickered into my eyes were a whole race of majestic creatures.
They were the ones who had embraced the night into their own. In the ever dark they grew stronger. It was their domain. The fields that had breathed life into the birth of a very special breed of monsters.
"BANG!"
Hannes maneuvered the ship we were in and try as he might, no single ray of light traveled out from our flying transport.
Each spouts of brightness were eaten by the world's darkness before it even plagued the lands further with its radiance.
If not for my expert guidance on where to go, we would have long submerged into an ocean of bones or had splattered to pieces against countless gargantuan skulls that had decorated the fortress of our host's abode.
"Welcome to my world, Fellow Daoist. Please..." a voice in the dark.
"FLASH!" a dazzling array of crimson came to life the moment our feet touched the slippery grounds. Instead of grey, we were seeing the entire surrounding in a ghastly filter of red.
And beyond our forms was the home of our host, Alexis Blight.
"A fitting place indeed." i muttered and began take carefree steps into this scene of horror.
"Watch your steps." i whispered to my crew but I only intended it for the two of my able toys.
Noemi would no doubt fell down without assistance and i don't want myself getting embarrassed by her weakness.
Thankfully, Hannes and Tamara got the message and held the helpless woman in each of her arms.
SIGH!
I shall have to remedy her condition soon and give her her starting cultivation manual to train with.
Of course i could have boosted her strength to match that of an immortal with just a thought but what was the use in that?
It would produce an insignificant doll in the end. I wanted those who grappled with power into their own for i knew that the road of cultivation was long and arduous.
I followed behind the little girl and walk upon the undying blood beneath my feet. The sticky essences would never dry out even after countless eternities of stagnant flow.
But the same could not be said once if one would consume them. Because like all of resources, the rarest one remained ever finite.
"Do you want something to eat or drink, Fellow Daoist?" Alexis asked after all of us were seated within the comforts of her home.
