Chapter 42

GASP!

When I came to, I found myself in a cold dark room. I tried standing up but-

Clang! clang! clang!

Huge heavy ass chains were clattering as I moved. On my neck was also a huge, thick, and heavy collar that weight at least 10 pieces of halo blocks.

'What the...'

I felt myself growing stronger maybe recovering? but at the same time I felt like my strength was being drained.

'No way... is it that purple headed captains invisible mana draining weights again?'

I checked around my body but nothing seems to be out of ordinary.

Phew.

Wait no, what the hell happened? where am I and what happened to Julius? what happened about the mer- fusion thing?

No wait- I think I know.... I know how Julius learned this method. It was when he spent his time at Hell playing and mixing souls all for the sake of research.

It was a gruesome process, dozens of mortal souls were all experimented by him for countless years.

I'm starting to think he was actually Satan himself, but still, his research bore fruit as it included "merging" as one of it's success.

It was a process between two souls, merging unto one, hence, "merging". No shit sherlock. In what he called "the first clash" which is basically a fight between influence and memories, one is supposed to be influenced and lose his own identity.

Like how I first thought that I was Julius or something but then if both souls has strong mentality and was able to keep their own identities then what comes after is the... merging process.

It's basically and literally becoming one and guess what, it's exactly like sex but at the same time not? I'm not sure but-

Anyway, during the merging process only one identity gets to be retained and that would be all based on luck.

Even Julius himself isn't sure of it since, once a merging process occured, the results would never be predictable.

Sometimes one identity of a soul is retained and the other's memories belongs to him while there was also a chance of a complete mixture between the two souls.

While those would be the best outcomes possible, there was also the possibility of the soul becoming disabled.

Leading a body stuck in a coma.

'This was a god damn possibility! What the actual fuck, Julius?!'

No wait... if Im here right now... then does that mean.. I won?

Huh, I won...

I feel a lot emptier than I thought I would... weird.

I mena I kinda feel bad for him but at the same time, I don't. I simply won over luck, that's all there is to it.

Isn't this

Anyway, I looked around and found myself inside a huge cage with each corners of the ceiling is tied to chains that extended towards the darkness.

'Where am I?'

The last thing I remember was my ass got beat up by those seven deadly jokes.

Hopefully those two made it safely...

Step. Step. Step.

Walking sounds echoed through the spacious place. Although there was one distinctive step that belongs to a peculiar person or being, he or she wasn't alone as he or she was accompanied by a couple of other...

Are those armours? then they'd be guards then.

Then this distinctive steps belong to...

Chuk!

Soon, the cage suddenly moved and.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The chains on the edges of the cage suddenly rolled and I can tell that I was descending.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

THUD!

The sound of the cage crashing unto the ground resounded throughout the whole place as the steps got closer towards my direction.

I only had one source of light it was only like a spotlight directed at me and the cage.

Step. Step. Step.

Soon enough, I was able to see the silhouette of a woman wearing a long dress along with a couple of guards that accompanied her from the behind.

Step. Step. Step.

And she's about to enter the spotlight in 3... 2.... and-

What met my eyes was a woman, seemingly in her mid thirties. She wore a lot of make up and as much I'd hate to admit it but she is very pleasing to the eyes.

Pleasing to the eyes like looking at your neighborhood MILF. In short, She was hot.

Her make up fitted her jade face along with her small sharp lips that was enchanted by a crimson red lipstick.

She wore a royal attire for queens with the primary colour being red and her majestic inside blouse was soft cotton white.

Her long and crimson red dress was patterned with roses that complemented her peach coloured long hair which is tied in a bun.

On top of her head was a crown, indicating that she was of royalty.

'So this is the Incestious Queen thar makes out with her son.'

I held my urge to barf. She had a dignified and cold expression as she approached me.

'Hmm.. Although as much as I hate to do it, but this is my only way of warning people for now.'

"Grrrrrrrrr...."

Ho? what's this? my growl sounds deeper than before. Almost the same sound of a certain black dragon in a kid's cartoon movie.

Although I expected this, it is still kind of infuriating. She remained calm as if I was the most least threatening being in the world.

The guards on the other hand, already held their weapons and went on a fighting stance.

Hmmm...

It looks like she's about to speak and let me guess, typical bow down to me and serve me etc. etc. thing.

Sigh.... how many times do I have to go through this. So annoying and tiring.

And also.. Status!

[ ]

What did I expect... Sigh. Of course the system is still being a little bitch and bugging out on me.

I also tried to look at their status and it still the same old black box text.

Annoying....

"Greetings, Mythical Beast. Welcome to my humble abode."

Then suddenly, right after that-

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!

One after another, lights opened from the walls, brightening up the whole entire place.

Am I supposed to be amazed by this?
