Chapter 300 300: The Earth shaking revelation
Rahu's smirk widened as he dropped her on the cold ground. Yuno's pretty face hit the ground.
A massive chair appeared behind him. He sat on it, crossing his legs.
"Speak, and your answer better satisfies me. Or else, I assure you, there are far worse things that could happen to you."
His cold tone cut through her being like a hot knife, intensifying her trembling.
"...Y-Yes"
Yuno nodded her head as her fists clenched tightly, her eyes had become half red and half dead due to rage and despair.
"It was…just a few years back that I found a small teen boy in ancient ruins in the Silverleaf Forest."
She spoke, biting her lips. Hearing those words, Rahu frowned once again.
"Again those ruins, I have already heard this a few times, also…"
Looking down at Yuno, he couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't Mo Rath find me in the ruins?"
This was what he had remembered from previous Rahu's memories. Mo Rath had brought it up several times before.
"T-That was after we parted, I don't know how he ended up in that bastard's hands!"
She shouted, barely able to control her ire.
"It was my mistake to leave that kind spirit all alone in that forest! But his abilities were way too bizarre! One of them included…rebirth."
HISSS!!
Rahu took a deep breath when he heard this; a tremour ran down his spine.
"No fucking wonder!"
The thick mist that had always clouded his mind whenever he tried to access the memories of the previous…had finally been lifted!
His memories, which had been locked away before the age of fifteen, finally made sense.
Rahu leaned back on his throne as he massaged his head, "I was wrong…all this time I was wrong!"
He couldn't help but curse his oversight, "The memories weren't locked by some being…It was locked by Rahu himself!"
A misunderstanding…a grave misunderstanding.
"I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was already broken." Saying that, Rahu closed his eyes, "Let this be a lesson for me, one of my greatest mistakes was to underestimate this guy!"
How the fuck would one of the owners of the forbidden physique be weak and wimpy? This was just too much.
"The sole relieving factor is that I still have my Law…this physique, this system…were all a sham from the very beginning!"
He couldn't help but stay silent, not daring to speak a single word. Looking at the woman kneeling in front of him, he couldn't help but think this woman might still be one of the servants of the previous Rahu.
Rahu stayed quiet for a few minutes before letting out a sigh, "Rahu, oh Rahu, you really are something else. Even I was tricked by your memories."
He couldn't help but mutter. Taking deep breaths, he calmed himself down. Looking at his hand…he plunged it inside his chest. Gripping his black heart, with a violent yank, he ripped his heart from his body.
Badump Badump Badump
Looking at the beating heart, he sighed in relief. "Good thing I mastered my Law to the embodiment…for now, I'm sure no one has noticed anything. That's a good thing, I don't have the slightest information about my enemies, but I am sure they too didn't expect this turn of events."
Rahu muttered, and in the next moment, the black heart merged back into his chest.
Perfectly fine and beating.
Raising his hand, milky white energy began to form on his palms. He looked at it for a moment before making it vanish.
"But…I still don't understand this physique. There is no way this is used as a mere conduit of the Dimensional Energy. There is something else…something that I am missing."
Saying that, his gaze dropped onto the sobbing woman in front of him.
"Continue"
He said, for now, he could only collect information and devise some countermeasures.
Seeing that he was still asking her, Yuno's head dropped low.
"He was really…mysterious. Even after getting killed a few times…he could still return. He always visited those ruins. And every time he came back…there was something different about him."
"Different? What's different? Specify," Rahu ordered her, but inwardly, he couldn't help but wonder. Was it because he could devour other dimensions? No, that shouldn't be possible. The threshold to use that ability was…very high.
"He was a bit strange…always muttering about some faces…churning. Something…but the only thing I can guarantee is that…he was kind."
Hearing this, Rahu snorted in disdain. Kind? Yeah, sure, that entity wasn't just 'kind', he was much more.
But his thoughts were stuck on two words. Faces and…churning. Now this was something interesting.
Looking at the kneeling Yuno, he couldn't help but ask,
"And how did you become familiar with him? I'm sure that wasn't because of his kindness?"
"We…were husband and wife for a few years."
"Hmm?"
Rahu frowned when he heard those words, "You…the Empress of an entire continent. Someone's wife?"
It's not that she couldn't become one…but the timing was way too perfect for that.
"I—I wasn't always this strong. It was he who had given me the cultivation technique of the Divine Clones. After countless years of mastering this technique, I…finally mastered it. And the moment I did…my strength shot through the heavens, overshadowing every single cultivator on the continent."
Yuno spoke, her voice slightly high. Her mind seemed to have recovered a bit from the earlier trauma.
Hearing this, Rahu couldn't help but sigh.
"A fool—I was really a fool. In blind arrogance, I simply assumed that this man was some weak wimp. Even those memories, they…are actually carefully planted to make me believe. How insidious"
For a second, he said nothing, prompting even Yuno to stare at him in confusion, wondering why he had quietened all of a sudden.
But then…she saw it. His smile—it began to stretch wide.
A chill ran down her spine when she saw this. This smile…somehow felt wrong. Utterly wrong.
"Hahahaha!!! Good, very good! I like this, the world was becoming boring! Come, we shall see who succeeds over the Physique!"
In the next moment, his depraved eyes fell on Yuno.
"His wife you say? Why don't we give him a surprise gift?"
