Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 636

Faced with this Vyncent and the unfamiliar girl, Arthur was truly surprised as he never expected to the former here, in such a barren and tightly-guarded place . Strangely enough, he felt a sense a familiarity when he looked at the girl but he was certain he had never seen her in the past . When he used appraisal, the results were unexpected but confusing at the same time .

Shen Shen (Race: half-human/half-demon): Cultivation: none

Lv: none

Age : 8

Title: Lord of the Ocean / Water of Origin / Eternal Blue Soul Holder

Short Description : none

The titles were intriguing but her young age and the aura emanating from her body betrayed the results given by the appraisal . Even after Arthur activated his eye ability, the results didn't change, perplexing the parasite . He didn't dwell on the matter and shifted his attention back to the dumbstruck Vyncent .

"So? Why did you come here?"

In response, the young man gulped some saliva and muttered inaudible words before hesitantly saying: "I, I don't know where we are . We landed here by accident . "

Arthur tried to read through him but his tone and expression were genuine .

"Who are you?!"

Unlike Vyncent, the girl was unwelcoming of the stranger, whose aura was cold and ominous, making her feel a bit uncomfortable . Arthur's Dark Magic leaks out of his body permanently, whether he likes it or not, however, a person needs to be extremely perceptive to feel it, especially when Arthur conceals himself .

Arthur sized this blue-haired girl, who wore a simple black dress and stood arrogantly before him . She didn't attack immediately as she could sense the difference in power but she didn't back down either . Her name was weird and the aura inside of her body made the parasite feel a slight pain in his hurt, but it remained inexplicable, sadly .

"Little lady, you should introduce yourself first . ���

Arthur couldn't get angry at the young girl as he broke into a smile and took a few steps forward . Shen Shen raised her hand and released a formless pressure to push away Arthur but it did nothing to him .

"Hmpf! You look and feel evil!"

She coldly snorted and impolitely retorted, not even caring that her attack was pointless . It was at this time that Vyncent butted between them by saying:

"Arthur… how about you? Why are you here?"

The two weren't close to exchange secrets but they weren't strangers either . They helped each other in Riarravar, nevertheless, they can't be considered true friends .

"I'm going there . "

He pointed at the black structure dozens of kilometers away, not bothering to hide his intentions . From what the man in his 'dream' told him, Midolf and Radolf are imprisoned here and they're essential to reach the Garden of Words, a miraculous place which has all the answers in the multiverse . Any answer you seek, however impossible it is, you will find it there .

When he was with Wolfram and Leiu, they spoke of the Garden and how they attempted to reach it but their search was fruitless . It's not a place for everyone and the cost is not cheap, at least that's what the Nameless Knight said .

The Garden of Words is not a place created by the Twelve or the Watcher, in fact, no one knows how or when it came into existence . They just know it exists because there has been people who went there and obtained answers which shocked anyone and everyone .

"You want to go in there? Why?" Vyncent couldn't help but ask, his brows furrowing as he glanced at the massive black structure and the fences which were enveloped by white lightning .

"…" Arthur stared back at the young man but chose not to reply this time .

"Don't come closer or I will . . "-Shen Shen

"You will what?" Retorted Arthur, raising his hand and using Telekinesis . It's not useful against powerful enemies but this rare Enigma ability, at his current stage, can even affect a peak God .

An overwhelming aura pressed down on the girl, causing her movement to slow down and her pupils to contract . Vyncent stepped to the front, shielding her and saying:

"Please don't mind her . She's still young and doesn't know how to interact with strangers . "

Arthur chuckled and retracted his power : "I was just playing with her . "

He only applied a bit of pressure to scare her, it wasn't even enough to cause pain . Although she had no cultivation and Lv, the girl was oddly strong .

'I'm not imagining it, right?'

"Yes, master . Whatever she used a few seconds ago can defeat Immortals . I also sense the Water of Origin from her . "

'Water of Origin? What is that?'

"It's Water created by Dmitra . It's just like the wood used to make the box which held the sword given to you by Timos . While Wood symbolizes defense and sturdiness, Water is all about flexibility and clarity . Its healing powers are even superior to your Life Energy . Actually, when she reaches the God Realm, she can produce special droplets called Origin Water Droplets . They can cure crippled Meridians and destroyed Dantian and significantly and drastically increased one's cultivation . "

'What about the other two titles?'

"I don't know the first one but the third one is unimaginably rare . In fact, ever since everything came into existence, there has only been two other people which had the Eternal Blue Soul . It's a special kind of soul which affects the holder's Physique and consciousness . When they reach a certain age, their body will obtain the Silent Water King Physique . Additionally, the talent of those in possession of the Eternal Blue Soul is unparalleled, even the Madam's prodigious feats cannot compare . An Overgod or above can easily discover the soul and if they discover her, they'll surely want to get their hands on her . In case she doesn't die, she'll become an Exalted God Within a century, at most, and that is if she cultivate normally without any assistance… I wonder what's her origin . "

The Quad-spirit sounded amazed and even a bit jealous . As an existence which defies the logic, its affinity with Earth, Water, and Death is at its peak but it couldn't held but envy this girl called Shen Shen .

Arthur remained silent as he internally talked to the spirit so Vyncent became a bit restless . He briefly remained silent before saying:

"Can you help us leave this place?"

Before the parasite could reply, Shen Shen stomped her feet and said: "Hey! Why are you asking him for help? He looks like a bad guy!"

It's truly a shame that Timos, the one who raised her in the past few months, didn't talk very much about parents, especially their appearances . He did say that her father was a parasite but she had no way of knowing if Arthur was a parasite or if he's the person the Black Devil talked about .

"Little Lady, you shouldn't talk like that to your seniors . "

Shen Shen crossed her small arms and turned her face to the side, unwilling to converse with the stranger anymore . This led to a chuckle to escape Arthur's lips as he tried to probe her with his sense for the nth time only to fail… again .

Seeing that Arthur completely ignored him, Vyncent bit his lips but didn't insist . He grabbed the girl's hands and was about to leave only to hear the parasite say:

"There's an angel troupe coming from that direction . "

The young man's abruptly halted, he spread his sense but couldn't sense anything, though he didn't dare to doubt Arthur's words, after all, he had seen what this terrifying man is capable of .

"We escaped Riarravar together so perhaps the same fate shall befall us here…"

Arthur said his piece before raising his hand and unleashing a large quantity of hell flame which turned the trees and bushes into ash and alerted the angels not far away . Within a few seconds, the trio was surrounded by dozens of angels, all fully armored and very strong . Actually, the weakest amongst them emitted a pressure similar to an Immortal Cultivator .

The method of strengthening in the Heaven and Hell Universe is much more complicated compared to the Cloud Sea or the System Universe . The angels, especially, relied on Commandment, and the more they got, the stronger they are . Arthur doesn't know much but the little bit of knowledge he has allowed him to gauge their strength and determine if they're a threat or not .

Currently, his aura was that of a Divine Being and none of the angels suspected anything, still, they raised their weapon and pointed them at the three invading strangers .

"On your knees!"

They didn't even question them and demanded they surrender on the spot . Anyone caught in this place will be imprisoned regardless of their identity . It's a place prohibited for travelers and the consequences of getting caught are not to scoff at .

Seeing the angels all around him, Vyncent grit his teeth and got on his knees while throwing a blaming glance at the parasite . Shen Shen was more stubborn but when the pressure of the angels fell down on her, she surrendered too . In less than an hour, they were caught and quickly transported to the prison but since they didn't fight back and were judged not to be a real threat, they were put on the first underground floor, where most of the common criminals are .

***********

Unbeknownst to Arthur, the moment he set foot in the prison, there was one person who sensed his arrival and became exhilarated . The woman bound on the deepest floor burst into happy laughter, her body was shaking from excitement and she could barely hold herself from breaking free and going to meet him right now .

"Ah! My dear! You've finally come . "

A seductive and enchanting smile plastered on her breath-taking face as her sense locked onto the unknowing parasite . Zaarae, the parasite Empress, knew the reason Arthur came here but she couldn't help but feel incredibly impatient . As for the twins locked onto the adjacent cell, they maintained their silence but both felt their master's aura albeit its faintness .

******

Above the unrecognizable human continent of Astria, which now but a bottomless abyss filled with eternal fire and raging waters, a graceful figure scanned this destroyed place before taking out a clear sky-blue crystal covered in white flames .

Katrina actually managed to find Astria, her daughter's homeworld and personally came here without being noticed . She poured all of her Nether Energy into the crystal, which caused her surrounding to rapidly starting changing, or more accurately, reverting back as the flow of time was broken .

In just a few seconds, a peaceful continent manifested itself in front of the Matriarch, who disappeared into white steam, appearing somewhere south-east .

"Show me, Eva, what really happened for you to become like this . "

What she had used with the Divine artifact of the White Specter Clan, something that would allow the user to see past events of all the white specters . However, the cost to use for a prolonged amount of time is very great, sometimes even fatal . Nonetheless, Katrina didn't care as she was wanted to know why did Lucy reject her so vehemently .
