Chapter 626 Treatment and Favor

626 Treatment and Favor

"Did he just put a Sun to sleep?" one of the soldiers spoke.

"Hush now, you might wake them up," said the captain.

"I doubt it," replied old Fu as he was looking at what was happening with hands crossed. "He is completely out of it," said old Fu.

"Such a strange phenomenon, to see one of the Suns, asleep and this vulnerable," said the same soldier.

"I wouldn't say vulnerable, after all, although he is asleep, the Qi around his body is still fully ready up for battle. No sane man would give their body willingly to another, and especially no Sun would dare to do so. Those who wish to harm a sun and take what is theirs are plenty, but none of them would succeed, not because the lack of opportunity, but because the impossibility of the task itself," said Old Fu.

His words were true, since he was talking out of experience.

"But, he's out cold, what if Shen Mo decides to kill the Sun right there and then, he already managed to make him go to sleep, and I've seen how Shen Mo can control poison, wouldn't it be as simple as turning his hand?" asked the soldier.

"That's where the difference between a man that had fought many battles and one who knows not the reality of the world. You might not be sensitive to murderous intent, though you can manifest it, see it, but you don't truly know it.

To become a sun is to kill billions of lives and destroy plenty other more, you cannot become a sun unless your arms are wet with blood. And the mere twisting and changing in one's heart can be read by a Sun as if it was a man drawing a sword in your face. Although asleep, if Shen Mo were to make the mistake, of getting greedy, or wanting to take the body of a sun for himself or harm him in any way shape or form, I can promise you that none of us would live to even see the reaction from it. We'd long be dead before Shen Mo's arm even twitches to act upon a malicious thought," old Fu continued.

"Also," he pointed with his thumb, "That's one hell of a guarantee that none of us would live to tell the tale if we even dare do such a thing."

His finger was pointed at the massive Primordial Three Eyed Crow.

The soldiers realized that if they were to act upon their greed, since it was obvious from how they were almost salivating at the fact that they could obtain the "corps?" of a Sun if they were to kill him. However, they even by a god's given miracle manage to kill and obtain the Sun's body, they won't be able to escape the wrath of his pet.

A rustle echoed behind the cube and Kyu came back after I had sent it earlier with prey, a living prey. It was an ape like creature with a gigantic nose that covered almost all of its face. The ape was unconscious.

"Good job, this will make this easier," I replied to Kyu.

My hands were occupied with removing the hair on the Sun's head. I needed to open up his skull to work on his brain. Quit literally I needed to open up his head.

With tools I had on me, things like this weren't difficult, and with the regenerative ability of a Sun, cracking open their skull won't kill them. I used one of my scalpels, one made of pure Neutron Steel, which is able to easily sever bone and flesh, especially since the old man is currently not resisting nor is willing to resist. As long as I don't pose a threat to his life by doing such a thing, the thing inside his head won't react.

But as a precaution I made sure to inject him with a small dose of poison, not to harm him, but to distract the thing inside his mind. It was a sleep-inducing poison that completely numbs the body. And as long as the parasite does not realize that the brain is being opened up, it will act as if all and everything is fine and that the body is simply sleeping.

"Are you an exhibitionist now?" I muttered.

The man smiled, "Didn't you say that fire is the best way to solve this? I burnt every cell in my body and replaced them at the same time with new ones.

"That's not possible..."

"It is, if you are a Sun," he smiled.

My doubt didn't subside, and before I could ask him to let me check, he handed me his palm, and on top of it, the same drop of golden blood I had used on him.

"Take it back, it is yours after all, and I no longer have any need for it," he said.

I reclaimed my blood, and was still tempted to check his body's condition, but if I were to do something wrong I might end up regretting it. Currently he is amicable, but these old fossils are easily triggered and I'd rather not have to deal with that.

"Anyway, now we'll be leaving, we came to investigate the reason why the Walkers were moving about, and it seems that the reason is this small thing here."

"And how do you suppose you'll leave?" said the Dusking Sun.

I pointed at the cube, "I'll use the cube to leave. There was a giant tunnel like gorge that brought us here, and we can use the cube to leave." I replied.

"The moment you reach a certain height, the mist from the Sea of Demons become strong enough that it will easily pierce through your makeshift barrier."

"I'll figure out a way to make a better one then," I said.

"And what if that doesn't work?" he said.

"Then I'll just have to ask the person spying on us for help," I shrugged.

The Dusking Sun's eyes perked upward, he grinned and replied, "It wouldn't kill you to ask me for a favor you know," he said.

"I wouldn't take the favor of saving your life and exchange it with something as easy as leaving the Dark Garden," I replied.

"Indeed, a smart man, however, my life weighs a lot, and taking you out of this place is not worth mentioning, consider it payment for visiting an old man who has very few friends."
