"That said, the Haron Continent is no slouch and. neither is the man at the helm, the Emperor himself" Makena said.
"So how strong is the Emperor exactly?" Hal asked and Makena paused before she began,
"First off, I should probably tell you that I cannot see the Emperor's fate. It's kinda forbidden to look into his fate without his permission which is actually much more than him simply ordering me not to look and more like he knows some secrets of the Artifact to make it impossible for me to look unless he allows it.
Since he was not Emperor since the creation of the Silver moon sect and not the first Haron Emperor to take a liking to the Sect, I believe it's fair to say it's a secret that has been handed from Emperor to Emperor.
As for his strength, the Emperor is definitely stronger than I am. I am only a three-star Cosmic saint but the Emperor is a Nine-star Cosmic saint."
At this point, Makena paused before she continued while Hal remained silent,
"Every star in the Cosmic saint realm is a significant and ginormous boost. The stars of Cosmic sainthood are not just power levels. They are so much more. I can't explain it but you will understand when you begin forming yours.
My first star took me a hundred and fifty years to form which is me saying I was stuck at the peak of the Semi-saint realm, the very peak of the realm for a hundred and fifty years.
My second took me two hundred years while my third took me three hundred years... That was two hundred years ago and I am still not halfway into the creation of my fourth star." Makena said.
"Wow" was all Hal said.
Makena nodded,
"Wow Indeed. There are saints who reach the end of their life span before they are able to form all of their stars but the Emperor, Amador Haron succeeded with the formation of all nine stars and is now said to be attempting advancement to the Demi-god realm.
I think it goes without saying that becoming a Demi-god is a big deal" she said.
Hal chuckled and nuzzled her cheek while pinching her erect nipples,
"You almost sound like a fangirl" he said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMakena chuckled as well but when she spoke, it was with uncompromised seriousness,
"For that level of talent? Absolutely. The Emperor is someone Cosmic saints like myself can look up to"
"You do realize that I wish to take over this continent and defeat your role model all with you helping me, right?" Hal asked with a smirk.
Makena shrugged,
"Of course I do. Over the last couple hundred days, I have had an insight into your ambitious mind. Aided further along by the Devil Contract you drafted for me to sign.
I could be planning a person's downfall and still admire their talent. The two are not necessarily exclusive of one another" she said.
"You're really taking this whole 'turning against the Emperor' thing really well. You almost revel in the whole idea" Hal said.
"I will do anything for you. If you say you want to overthrow the Emperor, I would gladly offer as much assistance as I can. Besides, while the Emperor does care about the sect and I watch out for the Empire's future, it does not mean I am not open to the idea of rebellion.
I always felt the Silver moon sect gave up way too fast during the First Emperor's unification quest"
"What? Hal said in mild confusion,
"What, you didn't know? When the first Emperor first began presenting his unification pitch to all Duchys, only two surrendered without any trouble, One of them was the Dreg Duchy and the decision had actually been made by the then Silver moon sect head.
She probably predicted that the unification was unavoidable.
Anyways, if you say you want to attempt something so insane, I will offer you my support"
"Why thank you" Hal said with a smile.
"Exactly when do you plan on this overthrow?" Makena asked.
Hal took a deep breath,
"One hundred years" he said with a grin.
Makena's eyes widened and she pulled away from him to look back at his face to see if he was being serious.
She couldn't tell.
"Are you being serious?" She asked.
"What, is a hundred years too long? If it is, it might not actually take that long. It's just that there are many things I need to put in place. And mind you, I might very well be attempting this overthrow without the comprehension of an Ordinance so my strength needs to be irrefutable" Hal said in a tone that suggested he was explaining something sensible as opposed to something absolutely insane.
"You're insane. A hundred years? I took more time than that to congeal even one of my Cosmic stars. And you're still only at the Cosmic Aurora realm!" Makena said.
"Well, two days ago, I was still only at the Cosmic phenomenon realm. Even if you say the time was warped and it was actually two hundred days ago, how many have you seen achieve the same" Hal asked with a raised brow and while she still looked at him like he was insane, Makena said nothing. For now.
Hal continued,
"Makena, I am not yet twenty years old. If you take into consideration all the amount of time I have cultivated with the use of time warping Arrays then maybe I just make it past twenty-one. Maybe. I am at least sure I will not have made it to twenty-five just yet."
Makena's eyes widened.
With her not being able to look into him with the Divining Artifact, and having not yet done any research in regards to who Hal really was, there was no way she could have known his age.
Of course, it can be argued that she did not actually care about his age but that was with her thinking, somewhere in her subconscious, that he was at least well past one hundred and fifty and not that he was barely twenty.
It was almost as though her well-established thoughts on advancements were turned upside down which considering she was an experienced Cosmic saint was really saying something.
Then she thought,
'Actually, it makes sense that he achieves such abnormal feats. He is a Devil who slept with seven hundred women over a marathon Orgy session that had lasted two hundred Time warped Days. Time that he had warped through his own mysterious means.
This young man was anything but normal'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNever once did she consider that Hal could be lying.
She just knew with certainty that he wasn't.
Hal watched her think for five minutes before he asked in a soft voice,
"Are you alright?"
He worried that he had broken her.
Which considering her impressive mental fortitude was an arrogant thought on his part.
Makena collected herself and her lips twitched multiple times as she attempted and failed to smile like it was all normal when it clearly wasn't,
"You're a monster" she said.
Hal grinned and pulled her closer to himself to join their lips in an ardent kiss that the Silver moon sect head happily melted into and only when they separated did he say,
"Yes, dear. Yes, I am"
* * *
It was a view no one in the city could miss.
How could they?
It was way too eye-catching...
A man was standing in mid-air with his two hands ablaze with violent fire which he propelled against the most powerful and beloved sect in the Dreg Duchy,
*BOOOOMMM!!!*
Then the man burst into loud maniacal laughter,
"Hahahahaha, Makena Dear, I'm Back!"
