Chapter 362 361: Without Cost?

"We can now leave."

After those words drifted into Divine's ears, his gaze shifted from the unconscious taxi driver to Corey.

Despite hearing Corey's words, his mind was still on what Corey had just done to the taxi driver. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

To him, Corey only knocked out the taxi driver using a strange method, and then he allowed a black centipede to enter the head of the taxi driver.

Although it seemed like the black centipede was Corey's way of knowing the location of the Assassins' headquarters, he didn't know why, but he just had a subconscious feeling that the centipede was not all that Corey did.

Knowing he was not going to get any answers just by thinking so much on it, he could not help but ask.

"Was that the centipede your method of knowing the location of the Assassins' headquarters?"

Corey glanced at Divine. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he wondered if he should expose an ability of his to Divine.

'I'll just answer his question but I won't say anything more.'

Although it seemed like some seconds had gone by because of his thoughts, only a single second had gone by.

His mental capabilities were increasing as time went on. "You're right. It is."

Corey nodded, and Divine furrowed his brows.

"But even if your centipede is able to locate the Assassins' headquarters, what about us? Won't the taxi driver report us to their headquarters?"

Divine questioned with a tinge of worry in his tone. Normally, he would not be worried by any group in the Underworld, however, since the only thing he could was defend himself in any battle before his battle with a tier 5, Divine was now afraid of going into unnecessary battles.

In fact, he was more worried than he was showing it since he didn't like how powerless he currently was.

"Don't worry about it."

Corey replied with an indifferent tone, and Divine's eyes widened slightly. His gaze alternated from Corey to the unconscious taxi driver, then to Corey once again.

Divine looked around for a bit as he ran, then he spoke:

{You already know that there are beings from outside our planet that have established their forces on New Earth right?}

Corey nodded, {I do. Why?}

{Before I delve deeper into that, have you ever heard of a blessed planet?}

The instant Corey heard the words, "Blessed", his eyebrows shot up. Luckily for him, he and Divine were running, so Divine did not notice the change in his expression.

{Blessed planet?} Corey questioned to be sure he heard correctly.

Divine nodded, {Yes, a Blessed Planet. Have you heard of it before?}

Divine asked once again, and Corey shook his head.

{No. I've never heard of a Blessed Planet. What is a Blessed Planet?}

Corey asked, and Divine's expression became more solemn.

{A Blessed Planet is a planet that is favored by the Universal System. It is a planet where every inhabitant of the planet is given an opportunity to make any wish they want... New Earth is a Blessed Planet.}

Corey's eyes widened slightly at the shocking information he just received from Divine. Multiple questions arose in his mind, and he felt that he would need an entire day to answer all his questions.

'Does a Blessed Planet have anything to do with the heavens?'

Corey thought with slightly furrowed brows. But a second later, he felt he was wrong based on what Divine said and what he knew.

'A Blessed Planet is a planet that is favored by the Universal System... And the Universal System was created by the Ancestor of the Supremes... Then that means...'

A deep frown immediately appeared on Corey's face as he ran.

'... that a Blessed Planet is actually a planet that is favored by the Supreme Ancestor... But what can a planet have to make a being like the Supreme Ancestor favor it?'

'And most importantly, are the wishes we make truly free and without cost?'
