Chapter 227: Hatching

The birdman was confused, and a little scared. Didnt Tao Ba say that if they guessed wrong it would consume him?

Dont worry, Im confident. I just checked if it was an Artifact, it was not.

Even if I believe you, how can I do anything with the egg?

Tao Ba didnt join the conversation, he just sat back down and pointed at his teacup. Sage walked over and poured tea for him while he spoke to King.

I have a technique that allows me to interbreed two very different species. I will be taking some of your essence and infusing it into the egg.

What!? How do you know thats going to work? Whats even in there?

I dont. We also dont know how much essence its going to take, or whether its going to work. Thats also the reason I never tried it before in the past. Ive never had a Demonic Beast as powerful as you. If anything can help this little dragon to hatch it has to be the magnificent King of the Sky.

King frowned, then he looked over at Tao Ba. Hed sensed the energy of a beast from this kid earlier, couldnt he have done it all this time? He looked at Sage. Before he could ask, Sage interrupted.

Tao Ba is far too powerful and special to risk. Im also not his master.

We did it!

The egg didnt hatch.

At least not immediately. The egg hadnt hatched, but it now had a very powerful life force and it was only a matter of time before it did. King had held up his end of the bargain and Sage released him from the Universe Ring. Having fallen from the peak of the fifth rank down to the beginning of the fourth rank was quite a hit, and King was no longer the most powerful beast in the area. On the other hand, he was still the strongest one on the mountain so he was in little danger in the immediate area. With the matter of the egg on hold, Sage had to honor his bargain with King.

Sage taught the Breach Hawk the technique to control his own Human Seal and the two of them set out from the mountain. King was smaller than he used to be, instead of being able to carry a bus on his back, now he could only fit a pickup truck. They covered ground at such astounding speed, the Breach Hawk truly lived up to its reputation. Sage set up an array and then the Breach Hawk led beasts into it. With the combined force of Sage, King, and a small army of insects, they killed hundreds of beasts over the course of a few weeks.

This rampant slaughter was not without cause. Firstly, they were collecting a large amount of food and resources to fund their future operations. Inside the Universe Ring, Sage could put whole areas into stasis and the meat could be kept from going bad without limit. Second, Sage wanted to restore the Breach Hawks strength as quickly as possible so they harvested many Beast Cores from the Demonic Beasts for King to consume. Lastly, there was the matter of fulfilling the contract hed formed with King.

A Breach Hawk was a very rare and powerful beast. The more innately powerful a Demonic Beast was the more difficult it was for them to assume a human form. Sage had forced a Human Seal onto King as a method to control him, but in actuality he had given the Breach Hawk what it always wanted. The birdman turned out to be a womanizer. Breach Hawks are descendants of the Void Wyrm, one of the many types of dragons. The problem was that the Breach Hawks bloodline was just too powerful for any of the birds in the area. It had traveled for quite a few years trying to find a suitable mate with no success. Even then he might only find a single suitable female, and what if they didnt get along? So, King put all his hopes on taking a human form. Hed been struggling for decades to raise his power. Then, out of nowhere, Sage appear.

The Human Seal could solve his problem. King made a deal with Sage. They formed a Master and Servant contract after Sage made an oath. King wanted women. Lots and lots of women. The bird didnt want to settle down, he wanted to breed. He would only bow his head and take Sage as his master in return for getting his own harem.

To Sage it was a somewhat silly demand, but it seemed to be all that King cared about. Creating hundreds of children that would spread through the world. Showing off their strength, and therefore showing how powerful their progenitor was. He wanted to show off by having lots of famous and powerful children.

More human than I gave him credit for.
