Book 10: Chapter 104: Help1

Junior sat in silence looking off and into the distance.

One would think that in such a situation, he would be observing some serene atmosphere. Maybe watching some dark ocean waves or the twinkling night sky… But this wasn’t the case at all. In fact, Junior was watching quite the bloody scene.

Several Embryonic Infernal Beasts savagely fought each other, ripping out the throats of their opponents with sharp, flesh filled teeth.

Blood and carnage filled the dark space, a dark red fog filled with shining stars in the distance as their backdrop.

Still, even with all of these savage beasts around, and even with Junior not lifting a finger to hide his presence, none of the beasts dared to approach him. In fact, they shivered in fear just at the sight of him.

If others saw this scene, confusion would color their features.

Normal beasts had instincts that made them avoid stronger opponents, this was part of the nature that separated those of the human and beast path. However, this instinct was greatly dulled in Embryonic Infernal Beasts who had extremely low intelligence.

If this wasn’t enough to confuse you, there was something even more odd about this atmosphere. These Embryonic Infernal Beasts, currently in the process of fighting to the death with one another, were actually all several times more powerful than Junior! In fact, if even a single one of them, even in their greatly injured states, turned to face Junior, a single breath would be enough to eradicate his body.

However, even with all of these things being true, the beasts didn’t dare to approach Junior…

Suddenly, Junior’s expressionless features brightened.

“Wife! You’ve come.” He beamed brightly, turning his head to watch Lilith’s nervous but gorgeous figure slowly float down toward him.

“Wife?”

Hearing these words, Lilith, who had been shaking slightly looking toward the beasts in the distance, suddenly had her emotions overcome with a wave of anger.

“This is what you call the union of husband and wife? All that bloviating about how much you wanted me, and you turn out to be a eunuch?”

Even Lilith couldn’t figure out why she was angry. She had agreed to this marriage in a moment of vulnerability… Not that she felt she had much of a choice to begin with… But, at the very least, she could have stalled like she had with Sokzac in the past, dragging things out. However, she hadn’t this time, likely in some attempt to get that man back.

What a joke that was. In the end, wasn’t it that man’s idea to marry her to his son anyway? How exactly was she getting him back by doing the very thing he proposed in the first place? She really couldn’t understand her own actions…

So, she lashed out. Whenever she saw Junior, she dumped all of her emotions onto him.

However, there was that smile again. That irritating smile she wanted to tear apart with her bare hands.

Whenever she lashed out like this, he’d always return that smile to her. It was filled with love and understanding, as though he’d take whatever she dished out without complaint. It was the kind of smile she could rely on, the kind that was unconditional…

So why did she hate it so much? historical

“Why did you call me here?” Lilith said through gritted teeth. “This place is incredibly dangerous. If any of those beasts start to find us more interesting than their opponents, we’re dead.”

Junior smiled. “I won’t let anything happen to you, don’t worry… As for why I called you here… It’s to discuss a few things.”

Lilith’s brow furrowed. This was the first time Junior had taken such a serious tone with her.

They had been ‘married’ for more than half a decade now, yet they could hardly be called husband and wife. They were more like bully and victim. Plus, considering marriage in the martial world was sealed by fusing two souls as one, they weren’t even really husband and wife, they were only so in name.

Still, in all this time, not once had Junior ever taken such a tone with her, not even when she vented all of her rage on him.  

“What is it?” Her voice became decidedly weaker, unbeknownst to herself.

For some reason, Lilith worried that Junior would get rid of her, even divorcing her. Some part of her felt that she deserved it, it wasn’t as though she had been a good wife. Not only did she not support Junior as a wife should, she brought his quality of life down.

However, the sudden thought made her realize that she felt an inexplicable attachment to Junior.

It was then she thought of something… If it was someone other than Junior, would she be able to sneer at him for being a eunuch? Or would she be breathing a sigh of relief that he never tried to bed her?

What was it about Junior? Was it because he was related to that man that she felt more comfortable with that idea…? That she didn’t feel the same disgust she had toward Sokzac? Just what was it…?

“It’s about time I tell you the truth.” Junior turned away from Lilith as though he couldn’t bear to see her at the moment.

“I am not Dyon’s son. He and I are one in the same. He is I, and I am him. I am a clone created by his soul and infused into the skeleton of one who once wielded the Death God Constitution.”

Lilith stood frozen in the dark red fog of Chaos Universe. It was as though she had been struck by a lightning bolt.
