YM778.TV Chapter 490 - Cycle Of Destruction
"Talos, take them and do the necessary enhancements using beast crystals." Arnold waved his hands before walking towards the cells where the vassals were being held captive, "The private dungeon wouldn\'t open for a couple of months. Till then, try to upgrade yourselves as much as you can. After that, I\'ll use [Enhancement] on all of you to further increase your limit. We\'ll keep repeating this cycle till you all are strong enough to take down Zeus by yourself."
"Yes, master!"
All of them roared in unison. But even then they all knew it wasn\'t possible. Unlike their master they had a limit, they could increase their strength to. Once they reach that limit, even Arnold\'s godly enhancement technique wouldn\'t be enough to push them on par with Zeus. However, it should be enough for them to take on everyone apart from the king of gods himself.
That being said, Talos took Hercules and Heimdall away to give them the strength the rest of Arnold\'s summons had. Though Talos was sure that enhancing the two of them would use up almost all of the crystals they had, it would be worth it. Having their already unparalleled strength increased, even more, would ensure that at least they would be able to fight back against the gods.
In the meantime, Arnold got to the cell where the Vassals were being kept captive. However, before he could even look at anyone else, his eyes caught the sight of Sonya. She too was being kept with everyone else.
"What are you doing here?" Arnold asked her before pulling the door open.
As soon as the vassals caught sight of Arnold, they instinctively backed away. None of them wanted to face him, none except Sonya who got up and walked up to the newly ordained god. Unlike the others, she didn\'t feel scared of him, not anymore... but she sympathised with him.
She too had lost a lot of people in the past and could somewhat understand the pain Arnold was in. Especially after her friends decided to betray her, just like Johnny decided to betray him.
"Your summons kept me here for your judgement," Sonya mumbled a reply before giving him a weird hug, "I\'m sorry for your loss. Your sister was a great woman."
Arnold didn\'t immediately shove her back but made it clear he did not like being touched, especially by those who had tried to hurt him. He could have killed her right then and there, but he didn\'t. It wasn\'t the right thing to do. For whatever reason, Nicole had saved her and he wasn\'t going to undo that.
"You can leave now."
With a wave of the hand, he conjured up a portal leading to the memorial island. He then turned towards her and gestured for her to leave. At the moment, he had bigger things to worry about than killing an ant.
Sonya was surprised. She was sure that Arnold was going to kill her for real. Even if he didn\'t, she thought he would turn her into one of his slaves or something along those lines. But she had never ever thought Arnold would just let her leave like that.
"I-I don\'t... No, it would be wrong of me to leave without repaying you." Sonya shook her head, "Your sister saved me, and I\'m indebted for that as well."
"You want to repay me?"
Arnold looked at her as if she was plotting something. Just as he thought that his third eye opened on its own and scanned Sonya as if she was an accessory. Arnold didn\'t know what was happening but he soon got his answer.
__
This individual isn\'t lying. She speaks her intentions.
__
\'A lie detection skill?\' Arnold thought to himself, \'It is going to be highly useful while interrogating those bastard Gods or maybe the vassals.\'
On second thought, even Arnold couldn\'t deny that Sonya was strong. She wasn\'t the strongest in any way, but she was strong enough to be useful to him. After all, it would be a disgrace if Arnold didn\'t use someone who wanted to be used by him.
"There is one way you can be of use to me." Arnold mumbled before pointing to the portal, "You can help protect my family in my absence. That way you would be able to repay whatever debt you think you have to me."
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity! I won\'t disappoint you!"
"Yeah, yeah. Now get going. Head inside the portal. It will drop you in front of the house. Ask for Devon and tell him I sent you."
Sonya nodded and disappeared inside the portal as it shut down. With that out of the way, Arnold could focus on the task at hand. He wanted to obtain the coordinates of all of these bastards planets. After all, he needed to know where they were in order to destroy them.
But he doubted they would be willing to cooperate with him. Not that he cared about such a trivial thing. The way he see it, they had no choice but to cooperate when he was done blooding them into being his blooded family.
That way, not only would he be able to know the planet\'s location, he would also be able to travel there with his army at his toe and annihilate every single one of them.
Earlier he would have debated whether he should kill them or not as they were innocent in all this. But not anymore. No one was innocent in this universe and if they were, then he was doing them a favour by killing them before they got corrupted by the gods.
\'Yes... killing them is an act of mercy. I\'m doing them a favour. There is nothing wrong with that. These idiots are born to be used by others, so why don\'t I put them to good use first?\'
While thinking that he grabbed one of those aliens by its slimy neck and began turning them into his loyal blooded servants. His abilities still had a cooldown so he could only turn one of them at a time. But it perfectly fitted his plans as it gave him ample time to destroy a planet before blooding another one of them and continuing the cycle of destruction.. Till it was enough to take on the gods.
