Chapter 487: Fess up

-Alright, buddy, I hate to do this to you, but fess up.- Ace demanded as he then put his sharp claws next to my face

-I've experienced torture bud, your claws are more cute than anything.-

-I'm trying, this is just a sign, I know I can't hurt you.-

-He's definitely planning something, it's going to be even more grotesque since a seer and an oracle warned us about it.- Siege suggested -He's probably going to create a clone using a part of his body and soul or something.-

-I don't have anything to offer apart from the abundance of dragon scales that I can sell for a lot of gold from my people.- Damon offered -You tell us something and I'll help make you super rich, well more than you are, you can even scam nobles with that.-

-Well, I can tell you that I do not planning on creating a vessel or clone, does that give me some money?-

-I'll give you full parenting rights over your sword.- Diana offered

-No thank you.-

-I got one that I'm sure he won't refuse.- Dabria chimed in

-Oh, the goddess finally made a move?- Damon said sarcastically

-Yeah, doesn't happen a lot.- Siege commented

-I'll wear anything you want and allow you to do anything to me for one night.- Dabria offered

-...Oh, that is a super good offer. Really tempting.-

| Dude, your resolve from this chapter has fallen. |

-I'm sorry, Dabria, but even with such a tempting offer, I would have to reluctantly...refuse...I hate my life.-

-You just wasted a once in a lifetime opportunity.- she replied

-He's definitely hiding something, a pervert like him would have accepted that with no hesitation!- Ace exclaimed

"Look guys, please stop giving me the suspicious eyes, am I really that untrustworthy that I would do anything to harm anyone."

"Yes, you are currently the strongest person in our world." Charlotte replied "A being like you would have many bounties in the black market."

"He does, I can verify." Castor raised his hand "Many nobles want him dead, also thieves and bandits based on the amount of people he killed."

"Well they are good for training, so I would walk around and beat any bandits up if they ever trouble me, besides, I didn't beat them, they just collapse to the pressure of my presence crushing them into a somewhat near death experience."

Lia have a very complicated look on her face.

"You're not planning on making me a widow, are you?" she asked

"And why the hell would I do that?"

"Just so you know, I do not plan on taking any other lovers, so if you die, you will leave me alone forever...please do not do anything rash."

-Dabria, remember the bet that we have?-

-The one about me doing whatever you request if I were to ever fell for you? Are you going to be needing it?-

-Yes, I will need it soon enough so be prepared for it, because I will help ease Baeli's anger, afterwards, you will need to do that small request of mine.-

< I don't knw what he's planning, but I don't like it> Dabria thought <I may know him the best, but that's exactly why I can't predict his thinking half the time, his thoughts are too chaotic, if he plan on doing something like cutting parts of himself again, I will murder him.>

The steels were watching Perseus commanding the beasts that he created, most people know that he found them and brought them after he saved them from slave traders because Perseus doesn't want people to know that he can bend reality at will and create any creatures he want, so that's the story to not make people more scared of him than he already is.

"He maybe our student, but his thinking and everything he does is out of everyone's expectations and logical thinking." Craig sigh as he's a bit frustrated "Just what the hell is he planning?"

"The tone and facial expressions of the 2 weren't good." Emma agreed "If 1 seer or one oracle said it, it'll be a different story, but if 2 of them together warned us something, that's really not a good thing."

"Yeah, after I heard what he did to trick that stupid god...clever or not, no one would be so...messed up into thinking of and doing something like draining their own blood, cutting their own fleshing and ripping out their own hearts just to create a vessel that would weaken the opposition a bit."

"Well we found one." Emma replied "Andrius Thames...his brother...I can't believe he actually also went through with it."

"In a way, Perseus is our savior, if he hadn't sacrificed himself to create that vessel, none of us here would be alive, terrorist or not, he is the only one who can save countless lives, Albert is a good substitute, but you need Perseus' determination and lack of remorse if you're going to stop a monster."

"Well..." Emma sighs "Despite the people he killed, from my stand as a teacher, I just hope he at least live to raise his kids, once he...pass away, only his children are strong enough to protect our kingdoms from falling to outside threats like the gods, even if they will be weaker than him, they are the only ones we can hope to help the next generations."

Once I make sure everyone is asleep, I left the house again in secret, I make sure to leave no trace so that my bonds can't follow. I then got Dream Eater out.

"What is it papa? Where's mama?"

"Home, sleeping in her room." I answered and looked around "Now, shhh, follow me, we need to go somewhere on foot and minimal warping."

As we warped out of Neelofar and walked the rest on foot, I told Dream Eater my plan since I'm sure she will be the only one who is going to accompany me during the time of my plan. She looked sad and her face was filled with Horror.

"Papa...I can't...why did you tell me this?" she asked with tears

"You're the only one who can help me and my loneliness then, so please keep it a secret, because I will also need you."
