Chapter 79 - The Backstage Masters

What happened in the office was something so horrible that Marshal Iyasu, all injured, was still lying on the floor, while the sinister man was standing looking at the black man with disdain.

His clothes were clean and tidy, which contrasted with the Marshal, who had his clothes strewn across the green carpet with his body full of bruises and a little blood on his wounds.

"I expect satisfactory results this time. Prince Gyasi cannot have this child ... I think you know the consequences if this happens "the sinister man approached the fallen Marshal Iyasu.

"Yes, Master. This little one will comply with the master's will "Marshal Iyasu forced himself to get up, but the sinister man put his foot on his shoulder and forced him to lie down.

"If you can't do it, you and your family don't have to go on living. Of course, this is the best case. In the worst case, the race of diablos zergs may cease to exist ... So be more useful, Marshal"

After saying this, the sinister man disappeared from the office without a trace, leaving Marshal Iyasu naked and bruised on the floor.

"The master never cared about our race before, but ever since Prince Gyasi got married, the master seems impatient and furious," Marshal Iyasu thought as he took medicine to heal the wounds on his body, he was limping and his back hurt a lot.

The sinister man crossed time and space and arrived there is a stark black hole that was still swallowing a star. The process was fascinating and scary, but very slow.

The sinister man went to the black hole and arrived in a different world. Black holes are portals to other worlds, but only those that have reached the degree beyond immortality could pass through the portals.

"Master, I am back," the sinister man said politely and knelt before a throne.

He had entered an ancient castle made of ivory and onyx stones, now in the main hall, he was waiting for his master to give him more orders or to release him.

"You are stinking" the man on the throne spoke languidly. Long red hair fell gently over his slender shoulders, touching the throne like a shiny cloak.

"I've been talking to our agent" the sinister man spoke seriously, making the man on the throne smiled mockingly.

"You mean intimidating our agent"

"He was not doing the job correctly. He needed a lesson. Forgive the boldness of this humble servant, but low-life beings like that have to be severely punished "

"As you say. So, the third imperial prince of the Zerg Diablos has reunited with that Mu Liang?" the man on the throne asked changing the subject. The midnight blue eyes were sharp when looking at the sinister man.

"Unfortunately, it happened. I don't know how he got saved. Now the two are in the imperial territory and they seem to be getting along very well "

"The gods must be interfering," the man on the throne said with annoyance.

"What does the master order me to do?" the sinister man asked humbly.

"Haven't you already asked our agent to do his job? Let's wait then. It's not like the gods can stop me. They didn't succeed when I was sealed in a mortal body, much less now that I've devoured one of the dimensions and I will obliterate the divine pantheon of that dimension"

The sinister man lifted his face only to be overshadowed by the beauty of the man's face in the vise, the well-cut features, the cherry-red lips, the white and immaculate skin. The man on the throne who was once mortal was compared to angels or demons of lust for such overwhelming beauty.

"You can withdraw," the man on the throne said, waving his hand casually.

The sinister man left the throne room and the man on the throne was alone, he walked to the water fountain that was in the middle of the throne room, in the water mirror appeared bloody images of war, angels, demons, fairies, elves, beastmen and draconian were killing each other in a long battle.

"The apocalypse is really nothing glorious," the man on the throne said with a joke, his long and beautiful fingers passed over the water changing the image, showing a dungeon full of cells, the sounds of the iron chain and the screams were like precious songs for this man.

"I could devour every one of those damned bastards, but I know that worse than death is the hopeless prison ... That's the small punishment for destroying my happiness," the man on the throne said affectionately, although his face showed no expression, which made it all the more sinister for those who saw the scene from the outside.

A moment later, a tall woman with short dark hair entered the throne room and saw the man in front of the water mirror.

"Emery1, are you looking at them killing each other again?" the woman said tiredly as if every day the man on the throne passed by watching the bloody scenes of the war.

"Themis1, you know how much I hate this name" the man on the throne didn't turn to answer the woman beside him. His fingers changed the scene in the mirror of the water, returning to the scene of war.

"I know my brother, but if you really hate being Emery, why are you trying to bring that person back to life?" Themis asked curiously at his older brother's ambivalent attitude.

Emery didn't answer and remained silent for a short moment until Themis sighed and spoke again:

"The High Elves are still researching how to rebuild a soul again"

"Themis, don't you think it's absurd that even though I am who I am, I can't rebuild a soul or make the dead come back to life?"

"Well, you are Cronos1. You didn't conceive of life, you destroy and imprison life. The first lord of time and space, before our father very wisely had children separated with these powers. The first and only powerful Titan besides Gaia itself ... Except that the time that builds is also the time that destroys, but it isn't the time that creates life. Unfortunately, Mother Gaia2 didn't give you this power. You are like our father Uranos3. A pity that Rhea4 who has the power of life and Prometheus5 the creator of humans were nowhere to be found "Themis said with some regret, one was his older sister and the other his talented nephew.

"So, I came to a different dimension to get help from others besides us. Unfortunately, you had that dream. That the son of that third prince zerg diablo would be the new catalyst for our destruction "

"It's not like I'm looking for that kind of information. However, it is very strange when we reach this dimension the only thing that the third prince Zerg became was emperor and commanded the Zerg Diablos for a total war against the Vampires "

"Our father's marks are always everywhere," Emery said with annoyance.

"As he couldn't be, he broke free and tried to destroy our lives by creating other gods with the great Cosmos," Themis said coldly, her clear eyes shone with fury.

"Yes, the new pantheon of gods and goddesses, the great Cosmos that divided the world into dimensions to keep his children safe ... He is much better than our father"

"Anyone is better than our father," Themis said bitterly.

"Before you said that the movement of the vampires was strange and you could no longer see their future, at the same time, the future in which the third imperial prince of the Zerg Diablos would have the power to seal us also appeared ... we need to know who is interfering "

"You don't have to think too much, it's not like we don't know that Cosmo's favorite children are Time and Space. The Fate gods of each dimension can be involved in this too." Themis as the titan of wisdom didn't take long to reach this conclusion.

"Okay, it's not like I'm afraid of them anyway"

"Even so, you told someone to interfere in the life of Prince Zerg diablo"

"Maybe I'm just bored and jealous of that mortal," Emery said with a shrug as if it were a minor matter.

"Again is it because of that mortal that you are trying to rebuild his soul once again?"

"I don't know, Themis ... I don't really know anymore. When I was released from my prison the only thing I wanted was to be a human and live freely, protected by the cloak of oblivion, all I wanted was to forget those years of darkness. Only beings like us can't seem to be happy "

"Who knows, that is why our father put us in chains and enslaved us ... Happiness was never something we could achieve in the end"

Themis, with her deep brown eyes she looked into the mirror of the water, but her eyes didn't see the scenes of battle or the suffering of mortals, she was with her mind in a distant place. Cronos, on the other hand, became silent again, nobody couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Returning to Mu Liang's room, the couple ended up sleeping too much. Fortunately, Emperor Ade canceled the Night Tea, so they rescheduled for lunch.

The next day was normal, once again Gyasi went to the military base for morning training, Mu Liang woke up at the same time and after eating the meal, he took a few hours to study the customs of the Tang-Kai Empire and learn a little of the empire's current situation, after all, he being the prince at the very least should be instructed in the basics.

"Host, there is a call from your father," Alessandra-066 said, interrupting Mu Liang's concentration.

Mu Liang was surprised and he didn't feel ready to face the parents of the previous owner of this body. Unfortunately, he must answer the call.

"Son, are you okay?" Zatra Enlai asked as soon as he saw his son's face appear on the holographic screen.

"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry," Mu Liang said automatically looking into his eyes the same color as his and the color of his hair the same color, even the smooth features were similar. If it weren't for Zatra Enlai's thinner features, the two could have been considered twin brothers.

"How can I not worry, son? You almost die, then they try to kidnap you and your damn fiancé kidnaps you!"

Zatra Enlai was a little elated, if it weren't for what was happening on his home planet and Emperor Mu stopped him, he would have already gone to the Diablo Empire and would bring his beloved son back home.

"Dad, don't get excited," Mu Liang asked with a little bit of bitterness, as he knew that any parent would also be furious about all of this.

"Liang, I'm going to ask for the dissolution of this ridiculous engagement and I'm going to get you to go home," Zatra Enlai said very seriously.
