Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality-Chapter 349 Maxim
349 Maxim
When Arkhen saw that humanoid creature with his face looking at them, he told Velshi to put everyone in Mystic Wonderland.
White motes appeared around them. ฦ๐ฟe๐ฆ๐ ๐ฒ๐n๐ฮฝ๐๐น.๐o๐ข
"Arkhen? You are coming too, right?" Sierra asked with a frown when she saw that no white motes were surrounding him.
"I'll come shortly. You all go first," Arkhen said.
"Wait! We will sta-"
"No!" Arkhen sternly said as he interrupted Meya. "Just go inside."
"Brother Arkhen, don't take any risks, please," Zoe pleaded with a downcast expression.
Isabella and others saw Arkhen's expression and understood that he had decided.
Five seconds turned up, and everyone disappeared.
That humanoid creature with Arkhen's face didn't move and continued looking in Arkhen's direction for one whole minute.
Arkhen was feeling something weird in his soul all this time, and he assumed that the other creature was also feeling the same, which was why it was looking in his direction.
[My lord. That humanoid creature with your face... It's a mutated corrupt parasite that lived in your soul for a bit when you saved Dirroth's wife.]
[When I extracted it from your soul, it absorbed your energy a bit and took in your anima information, causing it to mutate.]
'I see... But I am feeling some weird connection with it,' Arkhen furrowed his brows.
Right at that moment, the parasite humanoid with Arkhen's face resumed pulling those tendrils and opened its mouth several meters wide before devouring those seven bodies.
Afterward, it started flying towards Arkhen.
"Arkhen, don't you think you should escape now? That creature seems more powerful than you," Azul said.
"Strangely, I feel no danger from it...." Arkhen said as he focused ahead and saw the humanoid parasite closing towards him.
[My lord, I have an emergency bomb if something happens, so no worries.]
'Emergency bomb?'
[Yes. That mysterious mirror that sealed you previously. A few days ago, I sensed it was becoming unstable and concluded that someone had set it to self-destruct mode. But I put it in Temporal Cave of White highland and paused it.]
'Temporal Cave?'
[When you occupy the White highland region, you will unlock that facility. The time of that mirror has been stopped in that Temporal cave, so it won't explode no matter how much time passes.]
'I see.'
Arkhen nodded and finally saw the humanoid parasite nearing him.
*Swoosh!*
Arkhen was not feeling any danger or ill intent from that creature, so he just stayed still.
"Aaa..."
The humanoid parasite stopped two meters away from Arkhen and opened its mouth to speak something.
"F-Father?" saying this, the humanoid parasite tilted its head.
Arkhen raised his eyebrows in surprise at being called father.
'How strong is this guy?'
[It's an irregular being with an irregular method of getting strong. Low IQ and EQ, and a straightforward way of getting strong. As such, it's as strong as someone in 4th realm.]
[Naturally, its power is suppressed to peak 5th ring powerhouse in this dimension since we are in the 2nd realm.]
"Father... you... this."
The humanoid parasite pointed its hand at Arkhen and then at his heart.
'Find a way to make it under my control.'
[Let's use the most primitive way. Use your soul power and imprint your soul brand in its soul to become its owner... that is if this parasite doesn't resist, and I believe it will not resist.]
Arkhen nodded before he stretched his hand.
Upon seeing that, the humanoid parasite was startled at first but then got closer and put its head below Arkhen's palm.
Arkhen was surprised, but he didn't mind it. Using his soul energy, he formed a soul imprint and infused it into the parasite.
The humanoid parasite felt something weird at first, but sensing that it was Arkhen's presence, it didn't resist.
As such, Arkhen continued and branded his soul imprint on the parasite's soul.
"Father... I... Happy..."
The humanoid parasite rubbed its head while smiling, albeit that smile looked a bit creepy.
[It's like a newborn baby; now, under your control. It feels a close bond with you because it was born from your soul.]
"Damn, how did you get a kid like this?"
Azul was speechless. "Did you fuck a parasite?"
Arkhen shot a glance at him with a speechless expression.
"Haha, just joking. Anyway, this is really an unheard event," Azul said as he curiously looked at the parasite.
Suddenly, he remembered something and slapped his face, "Damn, now that his dimension is safe, I have to tell everyone to enter again."
"Smell ya later, boy."
After Azul disappeared, Arkhen also called everyone out from Mystic Wonderland.
Arkhen told them about how he saved someone and how this parasite was born before they understood the situation.
"What do we call him?" Meya asked thoughtfully. "He should have a name, right?"
"Hmm, how about Maxim? It sounds like a powerful name, and Maxim is very powerful, right?" Evelyn suggested while grinning.
"Maxim... I like this name!" Zoe said as she raised her hand. "My vote goes to this name."
"Well, there are no other suggestions, and this one is good," Sasha nodded with a smile.
The others also agreed.
"Maxim," Arkhen said as he looked at the humanoid parasite.
"Maxim," Maxim grinned and pointed at himself.
...
Afterward, everyone left their separate ways to continue gathering reality motes.
However, Arkhen looked at Zoe, Meya, and Evelyn with his arms crossed and questioned, "So? Why were you three together? I told you that everyone needs to work separately."
"No, we three will work together and collect three hundred thousand reality motes," Meya said with a pout. "We are close to reaching the goal, so just wait."
"That's right, brother Arkhen," Zoe said as she grinned ear to ear and continued, "our wishes are the same, so it's a three-in-one entry for us, hehe. Just wait for us."
"Yeah, just wait. Let's go, girl," Evelyn said before she activated her scope vision sense.
The three of them flew away to find more beasts and bad people.
Arkhen saw them leaving and was surprised, "Close to three hundred thousand motes already? So it was them who were gathering motes fast?"
[Indeed, hahaha. They are working very well together; their speed is super quick with Evelyn's scope power.]
Arkhen returned to his workshop and observed Zoe, Meya, and Evelyn for a bit before he found out how they were killing beasts and was surprised.
"That's good, haha. Evelyn got a pretty good ethereal affinity."
