Lirian rubbed his chin thoughtfully, he was still doing everything in his power to stall for time, but he knew that he was already at the end of his rope, if Anya didn't arrive things would go bad really quick.
But time was almost up, so he resolved himself to use the geneses world in his soul vault, grey gases began to pour out of the soul vault, and it leaked into Lirian's throne world coming into the view of his other selves.
It took on the shape of a orb and the grey geneses energy inside revolved with the sphere, despite its weakened state the orb held enough energy with it to incinerate half the universe, the reason Lirian was reluctant to activate it was because its activation would use up almost all its remaining energy.
There were two creations that Lirian created which he believed to be master pieces, one was the system, which was created through the essence of many gods and great diviners, and the other master piece was the geneses world which he created after having an epiphany.
The geneses world however, was imperfect unfortunately Lirian had originally created it as an imitation of a plain, within it the laws and rule of a plain became what ever he willed it to be, but it came with some draw backs that he was unable to fix.
The geneses world required geneses energy to function properly, and it devoured such energy at an incredible rate, despite the amount of energy it held it was only enough for two activations, which was why Lirian was extremely reluctant to use it.
Lirian brought it into the throne world and prepared to use it if he didn't have any other choice, while doing that he pulled Edith close to him.
If anything were to happen the two of them would enter the geneses world and run away, he didn't care if he had to reveal some of his secrets to Edith as long as she survived it would be fine with him.
Once his preparations were complete Lirian turned his attention back to Hinata, "You want to know what I meant when I said that the only reason you lot from Scavanour got to grow up on Xelia is because of me, very well I'll tell you," Lirian said with a smile, but in Hinata's eyes that smile seemed to be scheming something.
"I want you to understand that your envy of me over all these years, and your attempts to prove yourself to be better than me, all of it was completely futile,"
"I want you to realise that your attempts to kill me on this expedition are no different from biting the hand that feeds you because if not for me you would have been nothing more than an orphan on Scavanour,"
"A child with no family, who would have had to grow up in a war torn world without any stability, you'd have been lucky to have survived in such a world, after all a girl as pretty as you would have most likely been turned into a brothel whore,"
"Or a sex slave of some noble, if you don't believe me when I say that you should read up my mother who you idolise so much, after my mother lost her entire family to the wars on Scavanour, she went through unbelievable hardships, far worse than you could possible believe," Lirian explained.
Lirian knew that his mother didn't have an easy life growing up, there was even a point in her past where the record described her as having gone insane, it was needless to say that she experienced somethings during her growth that would break most woman.
Lirian focused on Hinata coldly and continued, "However, you didn't grow up in such a Scavanour, you got to grow up on Xelia where you never missed a meal in a day of your life, your chastity is yours to give to who ever you desire, and the laws protect you from people taking advantage of you,"
"But more than that you received an education that trillions of people throughout the universe would kill to receive, you got the opportunity to change your fate something that so few people are lucky enough to receive, however that wasn't enough for you," Lirian sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
"Now I'll tell you the truth you want to know so badly, my mother found me long before she initiated the order to bring the unfortunate children of Scavanour to Xelia, however my mother didn't want anyone to question where I appeared from,"
"So, my mother created a PR event, my mother brought the war orphans of Scavanour to Xelia and secretly planted me on board the ship, as soon as my mother arrived the only person she intended to adopt was me because in her eyes I was already her son,"
"Do you now understand just how pathetic your hopes were, do you realise that the only reason you got to live such a sheltered life, free from real worries was because of me?" Lirian revealed the truth to her with a cold decrepit smile.
As the truth was revealed Hinata's face twisted, however no one knew exactly what she was feeling because of how badly her face was mutilated.
Edith on the other hand was looking at Lirian intently, the more she got to know Lirian the more unfathomable he became, and his current statement only further highlighted how unfathomable he was, with the backing of the empress to say that his future prospects were limitless was an understatement.
Yet his true origins were unknown, with the talent Lirian displayed it wasn't out of the question to claim that he could originate from one of the other great powers, or perhaps even the ancient families, in truth his existence was both remarkable and worry some.
The chief advisor of the Eden family Milan Eden was listening carefully to Lirians every word and it fit the suspicion that she had, as well as the suspicion of Lord Callum Eden, and if they had such suspicions it was only expected that many other nobles shared that suspicion.
Milan never expected that she would confirm her suspicion when coming here and it was a pleasant surprise for her she quickly turned to the others, from the looks on their face she could tell that they weren't completely surprised by this information either.
It was only natural, even if they all believed it in the beginning when the empress had just adopted Lirian, with how remarkable he was they would undoubtably become suspicious of the empress after all, to randomly adopt a child with such remarkable talent was unbelievable.
She looked to the elites from the Eden family, "Everything you heard remains between us, no one is to speak of this until Lord Callum decides our course of action," after she gave the order she turned to the Jane family elites, in truth had the Jane family not had such close ties with the empress she would have silenced all of them.
Noticing the strange look in Milan's eyes the leader of the Jane family's elites sighed, "Rest assured we'll only speak of this with Lady Elizabeth," to his words Milan only gave a perfunctory nod of her head.
There was a short silence in which nothing happened at all, there was a dead still silence in the air filled with tension and as it dragged on the dangerous air only grew more evident and soon Edith's brows were knotted in worry.
Edith wouldn't claim to have any great danger sense, but even she could feel something amiss especially with how tightly Lirian was holding onto her, "Edith no matter what happens now stay close to me," Lirian whispered his words which only served to increase her worry.
Even when they were faced with a third grade mystic beast she didn't see Lirian show so much concern.
Lirian quickly formed a link from the system to the geneses world, he knew that even with its fate prediction capabilities down its ability to process things was far faster than the current him, the moment it determined that he was facing certain death the system would activate the geneses world and protect him.
With that taken care of he slipped three capsules out of his pocket, those three capsules were his signal flare for Alastor to come out of orbit and retrieve him, however right now they had one other use as well, a signal for Anya.
Lirian had taken those capsules from the blaster Anya had given him with such a purpose in mind, each one of those capsules had the power to easily incinerate a third grade cultivator, Lirian wasn't foolish enough to use it against Telamons zealot's.
At the very least they would have to be sixth grade to be able to move about unnoticed so the capsules would be useless against his opponents.
Lirian threw the capsules into the distance and sent a swipe of electricity at the capsules, after a few seconds the entire ground began to tremble violently, it was as if a dozen rock drakes decided to jump at the same time as the violent energy of the capsules exploded outwards.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
