Asura Conqueror

Chapter 133: Your People Are About To Be Executed

Marcus and Nexus got back into the car. The sun, high up in the sky. Marcus couldn't manipulate the weather, as he had just used up his mana an hour or so ago making 'Emotions in a Bottle'.

As Nexus' butt touched the seat, he asked. "Was that really the right move? Opening a portal right in front of that round man? I mean, I do get that we hold all the cards." 

Marcus chuckled "He can't do anything, nor can he tell anyone. Even if he does, will someone really take him seriously?" 

He paused for a bit, as the car flew into the air. "You're right about us holding all the cards, we'll be throwing them soon, too."

"What happened to making this a first-rate country? To making this place our stronghold?" Nexus looked down at the people below, walking.

"We have no time." Marcus stared straight ahead. "I have been thinking about the heavenly realm quite a lot these past two months, and I badly want to go back there as quickly as possible."

"Remember what I said?" Nexus asked. He once lectured Marcus about being too hasty. Although he, too,  wants to go back all the way up to their realm in the past, he knew that doing so quickly will yield bad effects.

"I know," Marcus spoke. "But that was in the past. I now have the experience. All I need now is just to temper my body and increase my cultivation."

Nexus sighed. "You do have a point."

"Plus didn't you want to leave here too, cat?" Marcus didn't turn his head. His eyes were on the sky as if he was looking straight to the heavens.

Nexus nodded. "I was getting bored. It's too peaceful here. Well, the sea monsters were fun to play with, but I need more fights, more knowledge of battle. Compared to the four of you, my experience is quite low.

Nexus was still young when Marcus and the others died. He also has not experienced a lot of battles as he lived a life of a typical young master.

"We'll only be here for a month or two more, and then we'll leave." Marcus already had it planned out. He just hopes that nothing goes wrong.

"What happens if one of the leaders is a Transformation Stage expert?" Nexus changed the topic. He wasn't really worried about this as he knew that all of them could safely escape.

"If a Transformation Stage expert shows up?" Marcus chuckled. "We'll run, what else can we do against one right now?"

"You're not going to try and fight?" Nexus knew Marcus' personality. He knew how the Divine Conqueror likes to push his limits.

Marcus shook his head. "When the time comes, we'll know. As for now, we have to set our eyes on the next step."

Marcus was also worried about one of the Octopi leaders being a Transformation Stage expert. He already knew that Merts was the strongest one in the Strongwald family, but the Vice President wasn't a Transformation Stage expert. 

"What's the next step?" Nexus asked.

Marcus thought for a while. "Do you know how many of the sea creatures were captured?"

Nexus shook his head. "I have no idea."

He heard that the races of the sea are about to be executed, but he didn't really care as he knew that it wasn't his problem.

Marcus nodded. "Save at least three." 

Nexus stopped looking at the people on the streets. He turned his head to Marcus.

"What's the goal?" Nexus sighed. He didn't protest as he knew that Marcus wouldn't make him do this if there was no good reason.

"Simple really," Marcus' eyes still looked at the horizon in front of him. "Make them part of our army."

"Ambitious as always," Nexus chuckled. He expected Marcus to build one soon enough, he just didn't expect him to gather people here in the mortal realm.

The car soon arrived at their home. It hovered for a few seconds in the air.

"I'll check in on our captives after I visit my wives and tell them everything about our discussion," Marcus spoke, as the car landed on the ground. He got out together with Nexus.

"I'll go see Eva and tell her about the plan, if she's not cultivating that is." Nexus knew how busy Eva was with both her cultivation and alchemy.

The two went straight into the Destrucstone.

----

Marcus arrived outside the room with a glowing orb. He walked inside and felt the mana around change as it danced around him.

Near the orb, was Erika. She sat cross-legged, cultivating. 

Marcus looked to the side of the room and saw Emily and Zoey sitting together, talking in a hushed voice. He went to them. His steps were quiet as he didn't want to disturb Erika.

He knew that his second wife wants to catch up, which is why she's cultivating hard. She was, after all, behind for more than a few ranks.

Marcus sat beside Emily and held her hand. He turned his head to Zoey and greeted her.

"How are you holding up?" Marcus asked. This must have been a shock for Zoey, as even he didn't expect that she would get dragged into this whole thing this early.

Zoey sighed "I was confused, shocked, and felt other things I couldn't understand. Thankfully Emily helped me. She explained a few topics I don't understand." 

Emily turned to Marcus. "You should really explain to people better. She hardly knew anything after you threw her here."

Marcus kissed Emily's cheek. "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to finish something." 

He once again looked at Zoey. "This place is amazing for cultivation don't you think?"

Zoey vigorously nodded. "Yes, I am so close to breaking through. Just a bit more and I'll be able to reach the next rank."

Marcus smiled. "With this room, you'll be able to hit Commander Stage in no time. How about the blood spells? Did you start learning them."

Zoey didn't answer. She just took a dagger the size of a pocket knife from her spatial ring. She held the dagger and slit a bit of her left forearm. The tiny weapon was immediately returned into the 

Blood flowed from the open wound.

Marcus and Emily calmly watched.

Zoey moved her right hand close to her forearm. The blood that dripped stopped in midair. She then made it float around her, moving her index finger in the process. 

Her finger then pointed towards Marcus. The blood slowly moved towards the Asura Prince until it was just half an inch away from his nose.

However, as she was about to pull it back, she lost control. Her blood proceeded to move forward and landed on the center of Marcus' face.

Emily giggled. 

Zoey's eyes widened. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I lost control over my spell. In all honesty, I haven't learned a lot of what Lazula passed on to me."

Marcus chuckled. "You really don't have to say sorry like that, It's not like you did something bad."

He removed the blood that splattered on his face. "Take your time. You don't learn these things in just a day."

"Marcus is right. But it is going to get easier when you grasp the concepts of the spell." Emily added.

"Mhm,"Zoey nodded. "I'm going to keep working hard."

She stood up and walked towards the glowing orb and began cultivating.

Marcus and Emily went out of the Destrucstone. He told her what happened and he also told her about his plans for the future.

"The plan sounds great. I also can't wait to go up to the heavenly realm." Emily has never been to any other realms aside from theirs in the past.

"We won't have time to sight see when we get there." Marcus sighed as he thought of his mother and empire. He knew that once he gets to the heavenly realm, he'll have to start working right away.

"Everything is going to be alright. We can brave through it." Emily stopped walking as he hugged Marcus.

Marcus embraced her back. He moved his hands to her face and cupped it. His lips slowly moved to hers.

"I have to go," Marcus chuckled as he pulled back.

Emily smiled. "I'll go make tea and head straight back to the cultivation room."

Marcus nodded and made his way to see the creatures he got.

----

Marcus opened the door. His steps, slow, as he entered the chamber. He passed by a few cells with nagas, kappas, and siyokoy in them.

Some glared at him, a few had hid in the corners, some had fear in their eyes as they watched him pass by.

Marcus didn't pay them any mind. Those were all Elites, low ranked creatures in the food chain.

He stopped in front of a cell with three nagas inside. These were exactly the three nagas he fought with. 

"Your people are about to be executed."
