Escape

Magnus opened his eyes in a well lit room. He quickly scans the entire room. After a few minutes of scanning he finally stopped.

"Ahmm! Master we welcome you on your return." Two voices simultaneously echoed in the room. At the next moment two holographic figures appeared in the room.

'So this are his servants. Although I don't know much about what happened after his death I can still mimic his behaviour to some extent.' Magnus straightened himself up as he sit down. He then looked at the both figures before asking, "This king just wake up. Where is this place? And who are you?"

Hearing the voice and the manner of speaking from Magnus both of the relaxed a little bit before. They quickly started describing him everything they know.

"Master, we are just a simple AI programed to start your awakening process. And this is a planet far away from Empire called Cultivation World. It was part of a wing of the Empire colonial rule. This place have been abandoned by Empire for almost a million years now."

Magnus wasn't too shocked after hearing it. Zaradon ruled the universe in a very ancient time. After his fall his family member must have suffered some issues but they aren't gonna fall that easily. Also they still had a cosmos class spaceship capable of entering in a black hole.

So this place is either the same universe as the Old empire or another universe which the old Empire fleed to. In his memories he knew about sanctuary but in those memories he never saw anything like this. Sanctuary is just a central hub to connect all exo planets in the universe.

'So there's a possibility that Empire fleed to this planet many year ago. And after the regained their strength they left this only memory piece as a backup for the Empire.' Magnus felt quite surprised. To think that they went this length just to store the name of Empire alive. That means Empire is still out there.

There are three major civilizations that ruled this universe. One is Cultivation civilization, another is Magic Empire and finally the Exo Civilizations. This three civilizations control most of the other civilizations. But there's no individual Empire that controls everything. So it could be safe to say that Empire lost completely. Either they lost in their own universe or could not stood up in here too.

After calculating his thoughts Magnus finally asked, "What happened to Empire?"

The two figures became sad after hearing him. They soon started to tell what they know. As expected the empire did fall and run away here. But what became of the Royal Family is unknown to them since they were tasked to prepare this place.

"Well there's nothing to become sad. Since I am here it won't be long before empire is back again."

"Thank you empire. Now as for the final part we have prepared something for you." Soon after they said that, the ground opend up and another platform raised. In the platform a girl lies in her back.

"Hmm! Anna? Why is she like this?" Magnus asked the two as he also started to scan her.

"Empire. She is a gift to you. As you probably witnessed the final battle, there are some mysterious figures in that battle. The man who took you down has the same ability as her. She is also a devourer. So we figured you might want to the I you'll threats before it matures." No. 2 explained as dhe looked down on Anna.

Magnus on the other hand is quite surprised. "He never really understood what happened at the end. But as No. 2 explained he got some understanding now. The ability thatvis used at the end is probably one of the devouring property. That's why they're final attack managed to penetrate Zaradon's attack.

But what's more interesting is that Anna happened to have the same property. It's probably something to do with her Blood Devouring Ability. But Magnus neber heard anyone of that ability users awakening Devouring. Since its also a core concept ability like Space Manipulation it's users are rare.

Although the AI's wanted to kill her, Magnus knew the value of that ability. Also the value of Anna is also great. 'With this her ability will soar through and if she can keep going it will be useful for me.' He looked at Anna with his eyes shining gold, 'I can't just kill my Golden Egg lying Goose now when it finally started to lay eggs. I need to convince them.'

"Calm down you two! This body that I took over previously knew her. And judging after reading his mind I got some pretty interesting ideas. The previous owner planned to use her then probably disposed her. So we will also use her and if she is obedient we will keep her. How about this?" After hearing his thoughts the two quickly calm down and decided to follow his instructions.

"If that's how you see things than we won't pursue this matter. But if one day you decided to silence her, you will have to do it yourself since she will be too powerful." No. 1 spoke with very concerned manner.

"Don't worry. That day I will handle things on my own." He then stood up from and walked towards the end of the hall. There's a another platform which quite high and there lies a huge black monolith. Magnus made his way towards the monolith and just before he touched the monolith he looked back and asked the two, "By the way, after my successful awakening is there any automatic message that is send to the Royal Family or is it you guys who will be sending it?"

The two of them quickly answered, "Yes, the message is supposed to be send by us to inform them. But since we don't know if they are alive or not we didn't send them yet."

Magnus sighed internally after hearing them. It was too risky too inform the Royals about his awakening. There could be lots of issues like Royals probably will know that he's fake or there are other forces who will get notified instead of the Royals. So it's better that this matter never gets out of here.

"Don't send any message. Royals are probably dead but they're legacy maybe fall to some other forces hand. For them I am a dangerous piece so it's better you guys never send it. If Royals are alive thats a different matter but we have way to many enemies. So it's best that we don't speak of this matter. From now on you guys will call me Master instead of Empire." Magnus quickly order them.

The two didn't refuse or disobey as they quickly bowed down and accepted, "As you wish Master."

"Good." Saying that Magnus looked away and quickly approached the Monolith.

The moment he touched the Monolith the core of the monolith started to shine a blue light. Soon the a pattern of Blue light started to appear all over the monolith and the next moment the monolith ripped open. The entire room is filled with the blue shine. The two holographic figures stood there with aws in their eyes.

Anna also opened her eyes and looked towards the blue radiance in the hall. But instead of the focusing on the blue radiance her eyes fall on the man in front of it.

Magnus then looked back and only said one thing to her, "After we get out of here, we will be separated. Since you know the ability to change yourself I don't think you will die quickly. But it will be better if you managed to join a Ice Heart Sect or some female sect. Goodbye. This few days was nice but it's time we part ways. "

Anna wanted to say something but she couldn't managed to say anything. Magnus then added, "Also it's better if you never mentioned this to anyone. People are greedy so your life may fall into jeopardy if you spoke of something. Anyway we will meet again when the time is right." Saying that Magnus picked up a small bead from the Monolith.

The next second the Monoliths blue light engulfed everything and Anna and Magnus disappeared from the hall room.

********

After three months of long searching The sun sect and other organizations finally decided to withdraw. Rugbir and others waited in front of the Alps but never got any news of a Boy and Girl.

The the mountain king scanned the multiple times but didn't get any readings.

Finally the Northern Land quite down and every big forces disappeared.

In front of the Terra City gate a luxurious ride was waiting. Soon a few people walked out of the city. Among them a girl with blond hair is leading the team. Her face has mark of sadness and disappointments. She soon walked inside the ridr along with her team.

"Betty, Don't be sad. At least we know that he's alive. After returning we will know what to do. For now keep the positivity up." Betty didn't respond to Elise. But she also didn't stopped thinking.

"Magnus I will find you no matter what!" She made up her mind as she vows to find him no matter what.
