Chapter 486 - 484:'Tell me.'

Chapter 486: Chapter 484:“Tell me.”

Watching as the old soul bowed and trembled in absolute fear, I felt nothing wrong with whatever was happening.

It felt like the natural reaction the world and everything else should have in the presence of the ABSOUTE.

Zing!!

The brilliant flash of three different lights cut through my thoughts as the figures of three women appeared.

Elira in her human form was still the blessed and voluptuous beauty that she was, her seductive body being the very definition of sin and temptation within that.. armor, if you could even call it that.

Terra, as usual, was covered by her leaves. She had reverted back to the form we had first met her in, the look where the leaves only covered the most sensitive parts of her womanhood as the rest of her curvaceous and alluring body was left for my eyes alone to enjoy.

To Lucien she might’ve been the motherly and indulgent figure. But when before me, she had decided to just be herself, my Terra, my lovely second exhibitionistic wife.

The last, but never least, was my resident frenemy, Sana. Still clad in her plain white robes, robes that did nothing to hide her alluring body that, though less explosive compared to the two before her, still had enough charm to send my blood racing even in this form as I gazed upon her beautiful figure.

To think I was blessed with having not one, not two, not even three, but over nine such amazing women, I couldn’t help but feel like the luckiest man in the world.

Sure, I was currently giving a ghost the scare of his unalived time, but who cares?

"Humph! That’s him." Sana’s grumbling voice snapped me out of my joyful thoughts as I couldn’t help but feel amused.

"Why are you upset, my dear Sana?" I asked, voice teasing.

"Humph! Don’t talk to me." She huffed, crossed her arms, then turned away, unwilling to speak further.

"To think events really played out like husband had guessed, this is just becoming ridiculous at this point." Even Terra was sighing in exasperation as they looked at the pathetically trembling figure before us.

"I’m all for master being the best and everything, but isn’t this a bit too ridiculous? How could something you just thought of on the fly be true?" Even my Elira couldn’t believe her eyes.

"Let’s just hope the story isn’t one-to-one as this bastard had guessed, or we wouldn’t hear the last of it," Shaia added, voice weary.

"Awww... the lack of faith you ladies have in my deductive abilities is breaking my poor heart, pooh..."

"""Humph!!!"""

"Humph!"

"Bahahahahahahaha..." I couldn’t help bursting into amused laughter at the reaction of the girls as the whole place teetered from the act of me laughing.

"You’ll bring the whole place down if you keep laughing like that, and that guy probably won’t survive your dumb laughter for much longer," Shaia, still salty, chimed in.

"Heh! Fine. Fine. Let me indulge you ladies this time."

"Humph!"

I ignored the pouting women as I returned my attention to the now crack-filled soul of the man.

A long breath left my form as the man’s almost shattered frame mended itself anew.

"My beautiful Nyssara did say that basic etiquette is something one shouldn’t ignore just because of their status or power, so to avoid getting lectured, I believe a proper introduction is necessary."

The mood changed from the lighthearted tone of earlier to a much more somber one as my voice took on a layered tone.

"I... am Dante Draven."

HUMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

My voice echoed through the darkness as it no longer sounded like a man speaking.

My voice had become an incomprehensible sound that shook the very fabric of reality itself as I continued my words,

"But you.. shall call me ABSOLUTE."

DONG!

The sounds of ancient bell chimes rang through the entire soulscape as even the realm acknowledged my declaration as the unmistakable truth.

"It is your greatest pleasure to be in my presence.."

"... oooh first emperor of the martial spirit world, Emperor Lin Feng."

...

...

A heavy silence fell within the realm as nobody spoke.

I wasn’t in a rush to speak to the man, and he wasn’t in the frame of mind to dare speak to me.

"You’ll just waste our time if you keep posturing like a dummy." Sana just had to break my momentum.

"Can’t you just let me have this moment?"

"For once, I agree with the moody spirit this time, husband." Ahh.. you knew things were bad when Terra had begun agreeing with Sana, and from the looks Shaia and Elira were giving me, they both were in agreement as well.

"You women are just bitter I had called the fact that the old soul was the first emperor before we even got here. Admit it."

...ℴℴ𝘮

...

Their silence was answer enough.

"I had merely intended to see who it was messing with my fun time, but seeing as it turned out my first conjecture was right, I feel it necessary to ask what happened to him. Maybe I was dead right about the true events, the betrayal and everything."

"I can understand you guessing this bit right. But there’s no way in infinity that all those scenarios you conjured up for some make-believe stories are actually what happened here. I refuse to believe such a coincidence was possible."

"Shaia, my love. That’s what you guys said the first time. Now look where we are. Are you sure you still want to bet against me so blatantly?"

"Sister Shaia is right, master. Such coincidences only happen so rarely," Elira seconded.

"Alright then, ladies. Allow me to amaze you once more." I took the bet.

I wasn’t losing out on anything. At most, the ladies would finally feel good about things conforming to their own expectations if I was wrong.

But if I was right, then it just means I’m that good at deducing plot.

So either way, I couldn’t lose.

"Lin Feng. Tell me, what could’ve possibly brought a man like you to such a state?" I asked, finally allowing the man the right to speak.

"Haa... Haa.. Haa.." He was a soul form, yet he was taking such deep breaths one would be led to believe he actually had functioning lungs.

"Re... replying to the... ABSOLUTE." The man remained on his knees with his head bowed as he began narrating his life story without holding anything back....

*******

A/N: it was too much of a perfect cliff to increase the word count, so muahahahahahahaha... anyways, as always....
