Chapter 569 What next?


    ke gnashed his teeth in agony as veins and sweat popped up all over his face. He felt like every bit of him was dumped into a pool ofva.


    Due to ke''s cells having undergone the evolution of a Demigod, activating his dormant genes was like trying to bring it up from 0% to 100% and instantly merging it with the existing cells.


    After what felt like forever, ke finally felt his cells cooling down, and the energy being pumped into his body gradually reducing.


    Cassius finally let go of his head and announced with a smile. "The cell activation was sessful."


    ''Must everything have to be painful?!'' ke mind-cursed as he let out a tired sigh.


    Right from his advancement process to training, from training to sparring with Xander and de, to assassinating Orion and Thalia, and now a mini-advancement process. ke hadn''t had any chance to rest at all!


    Seeing that ke was tired, Cassius gestured for him to take a seat on his throne. "Take a seat."


    Following his instruction, ke plunged straight into the Mana crystal throne. However, the moment he came in contact with the throne, he felt a massive wave of mana surge through his below.


    In less than a minute, half of ke''s mana and vitality were instantly replenished by the throne!


    "This is… unbelievable!" ke was starstruck.


    "The throne aids in my recovery by constantly supplying me with mana that heals my internal injuries."


    Although the rate of mana being supplied by the throne could bring ke back to his peak in no time, it was nothing much to a Deity. That was to show the astronomical difference between both realms.


    Afraid that staying too long would cause him to explode due to excess mana, the now energetic ke quickly left the throne and asked. "Why is the strength of my Darkness element weak? It feels as if it is at the champion realm."


    "Activating your dormant genes is like giving a long-time mobility-impaired person a new leg. It would still take them some time and a lot of physiotherapy before they can work again." Cassius exined.


    "Is that so…" ke muttered as an aura of darkness began flickering all around him.


    Remembering some of the spells Damon and Castiel usually cast, ke shaped andpressed the darkness aura into 8 sharp tendrils.


    ''I no longer have the system to exin and teach me the powers of the darkness element, but my dad is the Deity of Darkness… Hahahahaha!'' ke screamed in his mind as he was so proud of his dad.


    Seeing his dad just staring at him, ke had a feeling that he could somehow read his mind so he quickly reined his thoughts and asked. "What next?"


    So far, he had been told of the past and the ns of the former All-Father, but he still had no idea of what the future ns were.


    "Let''s go check out the progress of our ns." Cassius appeared beside ke and held him on his shoulder before the 3 of them warped out of the mountain.


    Once again, ke found himself high up in the sky, but this time he was looking over arge city that seamlessly married human artistry with the lush splendour of its tropical ind surroundings. Majestic palm trees and vibrant flora adorned the city''s streets, while awork of intricate waterways meandered through its districts, interconnecting the city with the ocean in a harmonious dance of nature and civilization.


    "Are we at Aquastrum?!" ke was shocked and at the same time ufortable being within Tigeria''s capital city''s airspace.


    "Let''s go check on the emperor." Cassius pointed at the Emperor''s pce, The Pce of Tides.


    Towering above the city was the Pce of the Tides. It served as the empire''s epicentre of authority. A fusion of architectural magnificence and magical prowess, its walls shimmered with sapphire hues, and its spires seemed to graze the very heavens.


    Within its hallowed chambers, the ruling council,posed of 10 of the empire''s strongest, which included the Emperor, Tidewalker IV.


    Unlike the Synder empire which ran a monarchy, the Tigeria empire was ruled by the 10 strongest individuals which were kept under the careful watch of Cassius and Dorian.


    This method of rule not only erased the concept of nobility but it gave themon man the hope that all they needed was to get stronger, and all their problems would be erased.


    On getting closer to the Pce of Tides, the trio were warped directly into the throne room where the Emperor was seated.


    Emperor Tidewalker IV was of average height, with a robust build that spoke to his affinity for sailing and the physical demands of his role. His weathered face, tanned by the sun and sea spray, bore the marks of both wisdom and the challenges he''s faced.


    He wore a regal robe adorned with intricate sea-themed embroidery, which glistened with the colors of the ocean. His attire was a symbol of his bond with the sea and the depths of its power.


    On seeing that the All-Father, the true ruler of the empire graced him with his presence, the Emperor immediately bent a knee. "How may I be of assistance, my Lord?"


    "I want to update my son on our ns." Cassius said.


    "Wee to Tigeria, Master ke." The Emperor respectfully said.


    "Thank you." ke appeared calm on the outside as he bowed but was having a full-blown monologue in his mind.


    ''He knows my name?''


    ''Maybe he was already informed of my presence. Or it could be he already knew about me since everyone now knows I have the space element.'' ke thought as the Emperor rose to his feet before activating a holographic projector.


    "The goal is to unify the realm before looking for the key to leave this dimension, but that can''t be done with the likes of Valerius and Synder still alive." During thest part of the sentence, a deep frown formed on Cassius'' face.


    "You are nning on going to war?" ke was shocked.
