"WAIT!!!" Ella scread while raising her hand toward the vanishing back of Virus as if she was trying to get a hold of him before he disappears entirely from her own little world.
Albeit, the dark-haired young man was already gone as he was nowhere to be found now. Ella was late to call up to him. It was either that or… perhaps, her shout had been clearly heard, just that Virus didn't bother stopping in his tracks as he left nonetheless.
Frozen still in her standing position with her hand still reached out toward Virus's previous location which was totally empty now, extre traces of sadness started to flicker inside Ella's pupils as she felt an old wound open up once more. 'He's gone again… he left … again.'
In the anti, beside her, seeing Ella's odd way of behavior, many suspicious thoughts were going through both Thread-Mistress and Reign's minds.
'Could it be… she knew him prior to today? In real life? Damn… does that an… she knows his real identity? The true identity of the famous Dark Savior that no one had been capable of unearthing for many years now?' These lines were currently going through the Thread-Mistress's brain at the mont.
'Hmm, why is she acting so strangely today? First, she disobeyed my order, and now she's acting so sad. Was that bastard soone he knew from before?' Having deliberated on the matter up to this point, a rather savage glint was apparent within Reign's eyes as he questioned the Thread-Mistress next, 'Tell , Thread-Mistress, you two seed to be rather privy to that person's real identity… who is he?'
Hearing this, the Thread-Mistress was slightly hesitating at first, but pondering further on the topic, she realized it would be wiser to reveal the true identity of DS to this idiotic leader of hers so he wouldn't go seeking unnecessary trouble for himself. "Him? Didn't he tell you already? He's DS."
"I already heard that dipshit's introduction. I'm asking you who he really is! And don't try to lie by the way, because I know for a fact that you two know about his real na!" Putting on an extrely annoyed tone, he demanded from the Thread-Mistress.
Listening to his demanding tone, the Thread-Mistress was slightly angered to the point of even considering deciding against telling him the truth for a split second. Nonetheless, shaking her head in the end, she mouthed, "He's indeed DS-"
"I told you to stop bullshitting !!!" Thinking she was still adamant about keeping his identity a secret, Reign interrupted her imdiately.
"I'm not done talking yet! So please shut up and listen carefully before talking and interrupting !!!" Feeling even more irritated now, she went on, "The DS in his na stands for Dark Savior. He's the famous Dark Savior that had vanished for a few years now and had just recently fought against the plant Kraken in Shanghai."
"…" After a few seconds of silence, Reign was finally capable of reacting as he barked with his eyes wide open, "WHAT!"
"Yeah. Do you realize now how stupid you were to treat him like that? He's the person nearly all nations around the globe searched for and tried to actively hire for several years! And you behaved like that before such a person."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Absolutely."
"Hmm…" Going quiet at this point, for nearly an entire minute, many notions went through Reign's brain. Although so might mistake him for a rash and idiotic person due to his personality, it wasn't the case at all as he hadn't risen to his current position of leading one of the best guilds in Arica just out of pure luck and only because he was strong.
After a while of contemplation, he finally opened his mouth again, "It doesn't matter if he was greatly sought after a few years ago. A lot has changed since then and humanity and other Abnormals have greatly progressed! He might've been a big deal and maybe even the strongest Abnormal back then… but now, there are other monsters that could probably defeat him in a matter of seconds. So whatever. I don't care who he is since he offended my dignity as the guild leader of Dominators. I only feel a little regretful because you didn't notify of this before… because I would've tried scouting him from the beginning if you had told ."
As he was finished talking, however, the Thread-Mistress could still spot so glimrs that scread 'grudge' and 'resentnt' within Reign's pupils. And this grudge was naturally aid at the now gone Dark Savior.
…
After leaving the company of the mbers of Dominators and returning to his private jet, many notions were now passing through Virus' head.
'Hmm, it's a little regretful I encountered no Six-eyed Bears to get my hand on their hearts. But it doesn't matter really since I probably wouldn't have used it anyway.'
'I an, why would I risk my foundation and create a paper plane when I can make the real thing? Therefore, from now on, I'll try to absolutely utilize Origin in order to achieve multiple breakthroughs since not only does it provide with the purest form of energy… but also, it's probably going to help attain the most solid and perfect foundation in existence. Now that's sothing I can't say no to.'
'Furthermore, it's both fast and easy. I just need more monsters to slaughter and that's it! So, unless I'm left with no other choice, I will try not to deviate from this choice of mine.'
"Now…" Uttering this single word out loud, he resud the rest of his sentence internally while gazing outside of the jet's window toward the srizing scene of clouds, 'the question is… how to get my hands on more monsters to slaughter and hunt…'
'Well… as I thought before, there are three viable and realistic options for . The first one is for to keep reserving as many Rifts as I can and fight its monstrous beasts when they are activated. However, this is going to be the slowest out of three since I would need to waste most of my ti traveling, reserving, and waiting for each of the Rifts to expel its monsters. '
'The second course of action I could pick is for to… literally enter the Rifts one after another and hunt its monster inside.'
'But… myself included in the list, no one knows for sure what's on the other side of the fractures in space. It could all be a huge trap for all I know and it could even pose a threat to my life. So this option is honestly the most dangerous path which I believe should be avoided at all costs for now. At least until humanity invests in exploring so of it. Moreover, I would simply draw too much attention to myself if I keep entering one Rift after another.'
'And last but not least, for my third alternative, I could go back to the Cultivation Earth and directly hunt monstrous beasts there.' Having already proven in his laboratory that the beads within the monsters were the sa as those found within the corpse of the monstrous beasts of those of Cultivation Multiverse of Qi, Virus knew the fastest and quickest way for him to progress would be to visit the Cultivation Earth with the sole purpose of hunting monstrous beasts for their beads.
At this point, he began to murmur unconsciously, "Hmm, now… which one should I pick, I wonder. The first one which is slow but safe, the second one that would be comparatively faster but most likely very dangerous… or the third one that requires to leave for a while?"
