Chapter 497 Imprisoned
“I can''t kill you?” An icy gleam shed across Mona''s eyes. “Who said I can''t kill you?”
Jonathan replied, “Then why haven''t you done it?”
The confrontation was palpable and elusive. It was as if Jonathan was deliberately courting death.
Mona pointed at Jonathan, and as she did, Rnd''s Sword appeared in The Void and instantly
hovered at Jonathan''s throat.
However, the sword didn''t move further.
At that moment, Jonathan wore a calm expression and uttered nonchntly, “You can do away with me
with just a single thought, yet why are you still hesitating?”
Complex emotions filled Mona''s gaze.
She could indeed kill him right now, but inexplicably, she didn''t want him dead just like that.
Theos was a high and mighty, revered existence. No one dared disrespect her throughout the long
years she had lived.
However, Jonathan dragged Theos off her pedestal and repeatedly humiliated her.
Therefore, Theos, who was possessing Mona''s body at that moment, harbored Mortal hatred toward
Jonathan.
Now, Jonathan''s life was in her hands, and she certainly wouldn''t want to grant him an easy death.
Even as Jonathan continued to provoke him, she couldn''t bring herself to swing the sword.
Killing him with a single stroke would be letting him off too lightly.
“Why won''t you kill me?” he probed further.
She withdrew Rnd''s Sword and responded coldly, “You fear torture, so you want me to kill you and
let you off the hook so easily? Do you think I will fall for it?”
Jonathan said, “If I truly wished to die, I could''ve easily aplished it. I can just destroy the mind
sphere in my cerebral domain. Why should I instigate you to take my life?” He paused briefly before
adding, “In fact, I''m just telling the truth. The Chosen One doesn''t die easily. You''re genuinely just one
of my many tribtions. Your Holiness, you''re an erudite celestial schr, so why aren''t you consulting
the original Holy Scripture?”
Annoyance shed in Mona''s eyes. “Do I need you to teach me what to do?”
“Your Holiness, I''ve indeed wronged you before, but I had no choice. I only wanted to survive. Now that
things have progressed to this stage, you''ve taken your revenge, and I''ve suffered enough too. Since
you''re unwilling to kill me, why don''t you let me and the others go? You can look into this. Yeverie and I
came from the main world. Why don''t you let us return to the main world and consider our scores
settled so we can part ways on a friendly note? What do you say?”
“Haha!” Mona was momentarily stunned beforeughing out loud. “So, after this lengthy speech, your
goal is wanting me to release all of you? Dream on!”
Jonathan borated, “Must you push things to an irreversible state? Can''t you admit that I''m indeed
your adversary? If you don''t kill me, I''ll have a chance to escape. If I escape, our rtionship will surely
turn hostile. But now, we can forgo our grudges. Mypanions and I will leave Moranta, and we''ll
never step foot here again. That way, what harm will it do to you? Why won''t you let this slide?”
Jonathan pressed further, trying to fight for a slim chance of survival.
Mona stared at Jonathan in silence.
His body was enduring excruciating pain, but hope was kindling in his heart as he gazed at Mona with
a glimmer of anticipation.
He felt his speech and the solution he put forth was reasonable and fair. What he had proposed was a
win-win oue.
But soon, a hint of mockery shed across her eyes. “Brat, you''re just my lowly captive now, yet you
think you can talk your way out of this? Aren''t you being too naive?” She paused momentarily before
continuing, “So what if you''re the Chosen One? So what if you''re from the main world? I''m more
intrigued to keep you alive now to see how you n to escape my grasp. If I can''t even subdue an
insignificant brat like you, am I worthy of being addressed by others as Her Holiness? Do you really
think I''m a lowly figureparable to Silvius?”
Jonathan''s heart sank.
He realized he''s made a grave mistake.
Previously, Silvius'' retreat had given him courage, but Silvius was obviously not in the same league as
Theos.
What Jonathan had failed to take into ount was the pride of the elite. In the past, Jonathan had
made the same error when facing Yasir, who had the tendency to kill in a fit of anger.
At that moment, Mona was behaving in the same manner.
An elite wouldn''t harbor fear, nor would they allow that emotion to arise within them. If Mona had
chosen to concede out of fear that Jonathan would be a threat, how could she have attained her
current aplishments?
Jonathan had totally miscalcted.
At that point, there was nothing left to say, so he fell silent.
Hooked by Dragon Chain, he continued to endure the pain and exerted control over his vitality to
prevent excessive blood loss.
Fortunately, Mona didn''t n to torment him further. After giving it a thought, she withdrew all the
spikes from Dragon Chain.
The moment the spikes retracted, they tore through Jonathan''s body in reverse, inflicting another wave
of spine-chilling agony beyond human endurance on him.
Immediately afterward, Mona locked him inside her storage ring.
The moment he was sent into the storage ring was an intriguing experience. The entrance of the
storage ring was filled with blinding lights. Once he stepped in, he was inside the ring and found himself
in a solitary cell.
As the cell was no more than two square meters, Jonathan could only sit upon entering. Subsequently,
he was bound by Dragon Chain again.
He thought he could meet Yeverie, Torrence, Fekro, and the others once inside, but he realized that
was just wishful thinking.
There was no light in the cell, and only darkness reigned.
Jonathan felt extremely miserable, both physically and psychologically. Visually, that ce was simply
too depressing.
Being confined in a dark room was a severe punishment in the military, but his current predicament
was even worse.
Mentally, all of Jonathan''s hopes to escape were extinguished.
Huff!
He let out a long sigh. Still, he hadn''t really given up. I must find a way to save myself. No matter how
hard it may be, I have to try.
At that moment, Jonathan couldn''t see the situation outside. He scanned his surroundings and could
tell the storage ring was intricately crafted and secured with mysterious formations.
It would be utterly difficult for him to break out. Even if he did escape the storage ring, he couldn''t get
away from Theos.
Before that, he must first think about how to deal with that d*mn Dragon Chain.
Jonathan''s mind raced. He knew that his priority was to find a way to survive. Only then would he be
capable of rescuing Yeverie and the others.
Theos had promised Silvius to help him repair Creation Gem within three days, which meant she
wouldn''t leave Pollerton during that period.
Jonathan''s biggest fear was that Theos would leave Pollerton and return to Holy Church at Paradiso.
If that happened, Theos would be operating in her territory, rendering his survival entirely hopeless.
Soon, he calmed down.
Firstly, Jonathan felt the situation around him, and what depressed him was that elemental energy was
completely blocked in the storage ring. Therefore, he couldn''t use The Void Manifestation or muster
elemental energy to heal himself. Theos is indeed meticulous, not giving me any chance to escape.
At that moment, the only thing Jonathan could rely on was primordial chaos.
Primordial chaos was the most enigmatic aura, so he hoped it could work.
He drove a portion of the primordial chaos out of his cerebral domain, which formed an elusive
primordial spirit in the air.
Originally, primordial chaos could take the form of The Void primordial spirit within The Void with
elemental energy. But now, the primordial chaos could only manifest into that aura, an existence of
pure vital energy in the air.
That pure vital energy was closely connected with Jonathan''s cerebral domain. Even if it flew a
thousand miles away, he could still feel the primordial chaos.
In a way, the primordial chaos functioned as Jonathan''s eyes.
At that moment, he used the primordial chaos as his virtual eyes.
The first obstacle the primordial chaos faced in that pitch-ck cell was that the ce was sealed, but
not to the extent of beingpletely airtight since Jonathan still needed to breathe.
He searched for some time and found a small venttion hole.
After that, the primordial chaos slowly flew out of the hole.
That scene was magical, much like a man transforming into an apparition.
However, scientifically, the human body couldn''t change between different states of matter and turn into
gas.
However, Jonathan''s primordial chaos was different. It resembled a formidable spiritual energy,
equivalent to a primordial spirit, unbound by the physical body.
Moreover, Theos also didn''t expect Jonathan to be equipped with that ability.

An ordinary Magician, even an Archmage, wasn''t capable of condensing primordial spirit. Once the
divine spirit in their spiritual energy left their cerebral domain, it would swiftly disperse if it wasn''t
supported by elements.
The extraordinary technique of possessing a primordial spirit wasn''t something that could be easily
attained.
Theos knew Jonathan was a peculiar person, but she was also aware of theck of elemental energy
inside the storage ring.
Under such circumstances, even she would face difficulty condensing a primordial spirit. Therefore,
Theos reckoned there was no way Jonathan had that ability.
However, the uniqueness of primordial chaos was demonstrated there as Jonathan could effortlessly
let his primordial chaos leave the dark prison.
Once outside the prison, he felt his cerebral domain suddenly turn bright, and a heavily guarded pce
entered his vision.
The pce was entirely white, and its ground was as smooth as a mirror.
Ten small prison cells were located on the left side of the pce, simr to the one Jonathan was being
held captive in, and the doors to the cells were tightly shut.
Jonathan knew Yeverie, Torrence, Fekro, rabelle, and the others were imprisoned inside, but he
couldn''t save them at that moment.
Therefore, he decided to stay put for the time being.
Then, he continued to observe the pce''s surrounding with his primordial chaos.
