Chapter 724 724:- Demands

"Capsicum...!!!" Aditya looked at the green and red pieces of Capsicum on his plate and slightly frowned. Today's breakfast was very simple. It was rice with Scrambled Peppers and Eggs. It's not like Aditya hated eating Capsicum. But he wasn't that fond of this vegetable. Capsicum was the only vegetable that he never wanted to eat. Lara noticed the slight and barely noticeable frown on Aditya's face while staring at his plate. At first, she did not understand the situation. But a few seconds later, she understood what upset her husband. "Walter and Watson, why don't you two sit down and have breakfast with us?" Asked Julia. "Yeah, you two should join us." Watson and Walter looked at each other and smiled. "Thank you for asking, but we already had breakfast," Watson responded while Walter nodded along. "Sir...!!" A servant called Watson from behind. Watson quickly excused himself. He left all of his work on Walter's shoulders and left the living room. Meanwhile, after staring at his plate for a few seconds, Aditya finally started eating. Seeing all this, Lara secretly smiled. "Lara, why are you smiling?" Lilith noticed Lara smiling and asked.

"It's Nothing...!!" Lara wanted to keep this a secret. Lilith felt that Lara was hiding something interesting. She was about to ask Lara another question when Watson interrupted everyone's meal.

"Your Majesty, this is urgent...!!" Aditya immediately stopped eating and got up. Under everyone's stares, Watson gave him a letter and an object. The object was about the size of his fist, star-shaped, and made out of blue crystal. In the center of the object, there was a hole where a small, inch-sized red sphere floated, seemingly held in place by some magnetic force rather than being physically connected to the object.

As soon as Aditya held the object which turned out to be an artifact, he got the information of it. 『Aetheric Link Sphere』

『Peak 4-star (☆☆☆☆☆)』

『Description - A brilliant star-shaped artifact crafted from a rare blue crystal, its creation is attributed to an ancient and mysterious Artificer, Thalorin. The Aetheric Link Sphere is more than 10,000+ years old. Over the years, the artifact has seen countless users.』

『Function 1 - «Spiritual Realm Convergence» • The Aetheric Link Sphere is a one-time-use artifact that facilitates a meeting between two individuals in the spiritual realm. The artifact features a floating red sphere at its center, held in place by mystical forces. When activated, the artifact establishes a connection to another core artifact held by the owner. Users are then transported to the spiritual realm, where they can communicate without the constraints of the physical world. After one use, the Aetheric Link Sphere shatters, reverting to ordinary, inert crystal fragments.』

"If my men had never been captured by your troops, then I wouldn't have changed my plan. Perhaps, our first meeting would have been very different." "I wouldn't have shown myself this early."

"I know that by now you have learned of all the abilities of my Homunculus. 'Voidfigures' that's a very nice name that you have come up with. I guess, from now on, I will also call them Voidfigures." The next second, a chest board appeared on the tea table. Aditya got the white pieces while Ghost intentionally took the black pieces. He was also holding the King piece. On Aditya's side, the King piece of the white side was missing. "You see, there can only be one King here, wouldn't you agree?" Aditya looked at him and nodded his head. "Even the False King can become the Real King if he wins but that will never happen." Ghost was the False King trying to beat the Real King. "Hahaha...!! As expected....!!" Surprisingly Ghost just laughed at Aditya's comment. It was as if he was amused. "If I had time, then I would have played a chess match with you." "Now on the matter of Voidfigures, let me tell you, I have millions of Voidfigures. I have been slowly increasing the number using the Mana Hearts of Dead Cultivators. This is the first time my plan was exposed." "You're the one who made my allies turn against me?" Aditya was not completely sure about this. He made a wild guess, firing an arrow into the darkness and waiting to see if it hit the target.

The ghost paused for a second. He was surprised that Aditya discovered this. 'I guess, it's easy to connect all the dots and make a guess. But it's already too late. Even if you have realized it now, there is nothing that you can do to stop us.' "Yes.....!!! My partner Luna has been doing a wonderful job." 'Could it this is the same Goddess Luna that I heard about?' Aditya felt this was most likely the case here. Ghost noticed that only 30 seconds were left. 30 seconds!!

"In a few hours, the Silver Meadow Grove will become a battlefield. My whole army will attack the Istarin Empire from that side. We won't stop until the Capital has fallen." "Then we will be waiting." Aditya wasn't afraid of a battle. 'Ghost' then stood up as it was time to leave. "You can give me what I want or face millions of 5th-order Duplicates." Hearing this, Aditya's expression slightly changed.

"You can decide to face millions of 5th-order Duplicates. The choice is yours."

"If you do make a decision, you can surrender."

"My army will attack from the Silver Grove Meadow." Saying that, Ghost disappeared. Aditya also returned to his office.

Their meeting had ended.
