Chapter 486 - 486: Annoying revelation

"You will do what?" Derik asked with a raised eyebrow. His meaningful gaze was pinned on Cyrus for a while before nodding.

"If you plan to kill him, someone will have to separate him from the cosmic beings and the beyond… when they all join hands to supply him with energy, he is close to invincible…" Derik said causally.

Listening to him, Cyrus remained silent with a disbelieving look on his face. Since he wasn't there it was hard for him to believe that Derik the God of death, who had acquired his godly essence lost to a kid they picked up from the Holy church's underground lab. He knew he was different because he had numerous types of evil magic in him but he never expected it to reach a terrifying level like this.

"Believe it or not, Blake is currently the most powerful being in this God's vein" Derik noticed the disbelief in Cyrus's eyes and got annoyed.

"His body can house so much magic…. Back then I thought it was all he could do but I guess we were all wrong… Blake is capable of consuming other forms of magic, powers, and divinities... He's like a black hole! Nothing can feel him up! That's why he was about to consume the godly essence of all new gods and old gods! Right now he is the absolute… don't tell me you think I was reduced to this condition because I didn't want to hurt my old pupil… Lol… I gave it my all" Derik let out a dry laugh while he spoke.

The room fell silent as they all considered the implication of Derik's words. They failed to understand how someone as powerful and ruthless as Derik was reduced to this level. Maybe this is what happens when a powerful figure experiences defeat for the first time.

"You lost… he has the godly essence of both the new and old gods…so what? Let's just kill him the next time we see him… just like we do to the other powerful foes we encountered in the past" Cyrus said after thinking for a while.

His voice displayed his lack of interest in Blake's newfound power. All he knew was that Blake will definitely for the next time they meet.

"Hehehehe… Just like old times right?" Derik revealed a bitter smile.

"Just like old times…" Cyrus said with enough confidence to make Derik believe his words.

With that settled, Derik turned his attention to Blink and Clovis. He noticed the duo are in low spirit and they kept avoiding making eye contact with him.

"You failed and the ten talented youths of this empire, whom I left in your care died as well…" Lucien's voice lacked any hint of emotion as he walked towards Blink and Clovis. He could only guess the situation of things based on their facial expression.

"How did you know?" Blinks and Clovis knew Derik could read minds but they just couldn't but chat them

"Hehehe… You look as miserable as me" Derik answered calmly as he walked towards the duo and placed his hands on their heads.

With his godly essence returned, Derik had regained a good number of his godly powers and all that is left for him is to get stronger and return to the true God realm.

Images of everything that happened flashed through his eyes from the perspectives of two people, causing him to frown. Not only were people from this world more capable than he expected, but he also agreed with Blink's theory that the God's vein is better than theirs and the beast-men there are even more capable than he expected and their magic is way purer and more advance than theirs.

"Is the world advancing? Is that the reason why God's veins keep popping up it is decided that the previous God vein is a failure?" Derik said with a frown on his face.

Taking a step back, Lucien pondered on the possibility of the existence of a higher plane of existence... What if this realm was just one of many realms, what if the realm protector cultivation level is just a beginner level, a greater world out there, far surpassing theirs. He couldn't help but consider the possibility of their activities being controlled by a so-called greater being.

"I can die in a battle and accept defeat but what Derik Angus will never be someone's puppet!" Derek growled and as usual, he didn't bother to explain his findings to the others.

They just watched Derik pacing around the room with a vexed look on his face and they couldn't help but wonder what pissed him off so much. Is it their failure or the death of the ten mages and warriors sent to the other world? After close to twenty minutes of silence, Derik calmed down and turned his attention to Blink and Clovis again.

"You formed a blood contract with the humans of that world…" Derik said causally.

"Yes, they intend to overthrow the beast emperor soon…" Blink answered calmly.

"Based on your battle with the beast emperor, do you think they can win…" Derik asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No… I don't think so… Even when fighting against us, the beast emperor was holding back even when we went all out…" Blink said.

"I don't think you are right… The Lucardo family head is a sly man and quite competent as well… I don't think they plan on taking on the beast emperor directly…they must be waiting for the perfect g moment and since they didn't feel us in with their plans I can only guess they are quite capable… chances are, we are just one of their many back up plans" Clovis said thoughtfully and Derik nodded in agreement.

"Sometimes overwhelming strength is not always the best way, especially when the gap between you and the enemy is not too high…" Derik said while sitting down and crossing his legs.

"I think it's best we make a minor adjustment to your deal… when the time comes, when they summon you for help… the people who will answer their summons will be Cyrus and I," Derik said with a sly smile on his face.
