YM778.TV Chapter 347
"The multiverse is composed of these three but if you add all the secret Realms and hidden words, then you’ll be talking about the omniverse . What I’m going to tell you right now is only related to the Cloud Sea Universe . A place for cultivators and those seeking power through cultivating mainly Nether Energy and Qi . They rank their powers using a simplistic system where the higher one’s realm, the more powerful he or she is .
Obviously, such a vast and almost limitless place is bound to have one entity ruling it . In this case, more than one person is responsible for the ruling . These pretentious people who acquired a bit of strength live in the biggest planet in that Universe, the Divine Planet .
This planet is divided into many parts and each zone is led by a sect, a clan or even a single person . Simply put, your family is one of the clans ruling the Divine Planet and the Cloud Sea Universe as a whole . It’s called the White Specter Clan and it’s ranked 5th in the Divine Ranking ladder . Of course, there are other factions that are definitely more powerful than the ones ruling the Divine Planet but they are usually secretive and don’t interfere in the matters concerning the Cloud Sea Universe . "
’Ting!’
*The user: Lucy MoonStar is aware of her identity thus some changes will be implemented on the Status Window . *
*The user: Lucy MoonStar’s real name is Eva . Would you like to change your name Lucy MoonStar => Eva . *
Seeing those notifications pop up, Lucy frowned and flatly rejected the system’s proposal .
No matter what her real name is, she considered ’Lucy’ as her real name and won’t ever change it .
Lucy took some time to process what she heard then asked another question
"Does that mean my parents are there . . . in the Divine Planet . "
"Indeed they are . I’m not acquainted with your father but your mother is an old friend of mine . She resembles you very much, even in terms of behavior and character . I first saw you when you were but a one-year-old baby and only for a brief moment . "
" . . . . "
Lucy turned her head and stared at Arthur for a long time before saying
"How do we compare to ’that’ clan in terms of power?"
Contrary to his usual fast reply, the Joker took time to reply . He let out a long sigh after gazing at her for a few seconds then replied:
"I know what you want to do, however, with your current strength, you won’t be able to do it, even with him on your side . "
"Then how strong should we be?"
The Joker expected such a question so he gave her the desired answer almost immediately
"10 years . I expect that in ten years, you’ll become stronger than anyone in the Divine Planet and at that time, you can do what you please . "
Before Lucy could anything else, the Joker added:
"I told you what you need to know . Now, can you leave for some time? I have something to talk about with your husband . "
Startled, Lucy turned to Arthur but found out that he’s still deep asleep . With a questioning expression, she looked at the Joker, who had a serious expression as he expected her to leave the two men alone .
Dissatisfied and displeased, she quietly left the room . Although she didn’t get all her questions answered, at least she knows a big deal about her origins now more than ever .
*****
When there were only Arthur and the Joker alone in the room . The mysterious entity, who always wore a strange-looking outfit, walked up to the sleeping parasite and stared at him for more than a minute without saying anything
" . . . . ’Sometimes, even when you’re stronger than anyone else, you’ll still learn something new from a weakest of beings and be fooled by the stupidest people’ . . . . isn’t that what you always used to tell me when we first met?"
The Joker didn’t add anything else and merely waited for a few minutes until Arthur started showing signs of waking up . The dark blade on the corner was reaching its final state of evolution as the jet black sheath was almost complete .
"Welcome back to reality . "
********
A few minutes before Arthur woke up, just when his consciousness left the deep sleep it was trapped in, he was immediately transported inside that endless white space .
Facing him was none other than his copy, who was relaxed as he drank some coffee .
"I’m amazed at how lucky you are . From all the people you could meet when you’re berserk, you met one of the few people who can subdue you with ease . "
Arthur was confused as he only remembers Claudia being killed then his vision turned into complete darkness . Seeing his confusion, the copy resumed talking
"Zodiak’s Dark Magic mainly relies on negative emotions as a catalyst to empower the user . The Dark-Anguish Technique is definitely a malevolent cultivation technique that could hurt the host if he’s not careful, then again, you’re the second one in history who’s used it correctly .
The thing is, thanks to your special Race, even such a strong technique wouldn’t have affected you . The problem lied with your past life and the torture you suffered . ’X’ chose you for multiple reasons and one of them is because you had amassed a large quantity of negative energy, which automatically stored itself inside your consciousness and wasn’t accessible by you . Since you were imprisoned and abused, all that negativity couldn’t be unleashed thus it intensified . The Orb of the Fallen Overgods need a host which can match its properties and as it is a treasure that was created from the flesh and emotions of countless Gods and Overgods that died in the war, it was full of hate and anger of those beings .
This process of stored negative energy can happen to anyone who suffered similar things to yourself but the real issue was the Orb which slightly fused this energy with your consciousness and when you trained using the Dark-Anguish technique, it multiplied this energy and made it more intense thus leading to it manifesting a consciousness on its own .
That’s usually how Spirits are born but generally, they are created from a natural and pure energy of a certain object or place, not a person .
As Sloth had told you, that stored energy was fighting back and wanted to get out of your consciousness . When you were taking revenge on your ex-wife, this helped you unleash some of that energy thus containing the darkness within you . However, when she suddenly died, you were shocked and unconsciously locked away your darkness again, which grew to a terrifying degree . It’s like you had a tiger which was imprisoned in a cage then you told it that you’ll set it free soon but when it was about to experience freedom, you changed your mind and locked it again .
I honestly thought another personality of yourself would be born and it’ll wreak havoc on its own but when I saw the Death Energy accumulated due to your first death, the fight against the reaper, and the Book of the Damned, I rejected the idea of a newborn malevolent copy of yourself .
If the Joker wasn’t present, either your initial personality would have been overwritten by the Darkness and a new one would have been created or it would have separated itself from you and roamed away while killing everything and destroying every mountain on its way .
Fortunately, the fight allowed it to unleash more than 90% of the contained emotions and negative energy thus it facilitated the creation of the Spirit .
It’s a Tri-Spirit, the first one in history . Earth, Death, and Darkness, an entity that is very powerful and strengthens your fighting power by more than 30% . It has a consciousness on its own but it’s mostly controlled by the old Earth Spirit, which is also a good thing . There are lots of other things left unexplained but that’s for now as it’s not necessary to explain everything .
You should check your Status Window then go talk to the Joker . "
As he talked for a long time, the copy took a sip from his coffee then glanced at Arthur only to find him still staring at him with a strange gaze .
After a long silence, Arthur said
"Claud Venis, the Prophecy Holder . "
Once he uttered those words, the copy was shocked as his pupils constricted and his breath halted for a few seconds .
