Surrounded by sparkling protruding stones, a body immersed in a liquid of half feet deep, opened his eyes.
His vision was murky and his memories were blank however it did not take a long time for his memories to be filled.
As various images flashed over his mind, his face contorted with a frown.
His breathing became rough and heavier. And his face became red due to boiling anger.
"Ahhhhhh!"
The body got up and roared in anger.
"Damn you!"
"You piece of shit. How dare you ruin my plan on which I had spent so much effort."
"Bastard, I will kill you."
"I will wipe your existence and then I will make your wives my slave after imprisoning them."
"I make you suffer an agony which is several times worse than death."
Shen who was in the phase of a series of outbursts started to spew curses one after another but his speech halted as he felt a presence beside him.
He turned his head and it was then.....
His body froze like a statue. His jaws opened wide, unable to close in.
Words struck in his throat as he saw a man exuding darkness as dark as the abyss.
"Surprise...Suprise..."
"Hello, Shen!"
"It is not very nice to meet you."
A gleam of murderous intent flashed in Alex's eyes as he stared deep into Shen's eyes.
Shen's body jerked and he backed away in fear of death.
"How are you here?"
"Howwww?"
"Who told you?"
Shen screamed in disbelief because there shouldn't be anyone who knows about this place or his second body.
15 years ago...
Shen, who was patrolling the borders with his unit, found a secret hideout.
The hideout seemed to be a place for human experimentation.
Experiments to create clones of one body using the user cells after which, the user can sever a part of his soul and transfer it to the other body.
Shen, after knowing about all this, killed his unit to stop the news from leaking.
The hideouts also had a map of the mana vein hidden there.
He started his experiments and after he succeeded in creating a body, trouble appeared.
How will he sever his soul?
And even if he severs his soul, can he join it back again?
A saint realm expert might do it but for a Mythic rank like him, this was suicide.
So, he used ancient magic to transfer his entire soul to the new body which had no combat power and is entirely hollow.
His real body was hidden here in the mana pool, and the magic circles would absorb the mana and transfer it to his body keeping it alive.
While transferring his soul, he found that he could do this two times as it takes a huge strain on his soul and he might get injured if he keeps going on.
This gives him two lives so he gambled on taking Second Prince Hex's side. Even if he died, he had another life and would just stay low for the rest of his life.
However.....
"Did you contemplate things?"
"If you have not, you can do it in hell."
"No, please spare me and I will impart you the technique to create a second thing."
"So please..."
Shen almost broke into tears and prayed for mercy.
Alex raised his brows and spoke calmly"Do you think you are worthy to negotiate with me?"
"Did you think you have achieved something that is beyond common sense?"
"If so then you are wrong?"Alex spoke with a sinister smile which made Shen's heart skip a beat.
Alex had gone through Shen's memories and already inherited the procedures.
At first, he was quite surprised but as he went over the things, he laughed as he knew about it a bit.
Anyone who studied a bit of biology would know about stem cells which were undifferentiated cells that could be used to produce organs of any kind.
With stem cells, you can create organs however with magic and growth medium, you can craft your entire body in this world here.
Alex just needed a few cells from any part of the body and he is good to go.
Alex walked forward causing Shen to flinch back.
As Alex stepped closer, Shen gritted his teeth and attacked Alex by coating his hand in an aura.
He thought of taking him down with a surprise attack, but as he stabbed his hand was coated in mana, he found that it stopped a few inches away from Alex's body and his hand did not move further no matter how much he tries
It was as if an invincible armour was blocking his way.
Alex placed his hand over Shen's head and caressed his hair.
Shen's body trembled and he had a bad premonition.
"Bye!"
POP!
Like a watermelon, his head burst into pieces splashing blood all around.
The headless corpses fall and Alex hears the clicking sound from the back.
"Tskk...How boring."Quinn spoke with a spawn.
"I don't have time to play with him."
Quinn nodded and asked, "Now what do you need me for?"
"I need you to guard this place."
"What.."Quinn spoke in surprise.
For Quinn, standing and keeping a watch with no one to fight is the worst thing he could do.
"Professor Quinn, please take this seriously. In a way, the fate of this world will depend on you."
"Let's finish things here as I have to rush towards the north," Alex spoke while looking at the system window.
Everything had been prepared and once he got through all this, the dangers that lay ahead would be lessened.
"I hope nothing unexpected happens there and I scab weep away things."
What he was going to do in the North was not wage a war rather he wanted to establish his dominance.
Soon, the world will know just who the hell he is and what are the consequences of offending him.
And demons who surely played a role in Riya's kidnapping will pay heavily.
