My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start-Chapter 578: Truly Cruel
Chapter 578: Truly Cruel
At the Sword Saint's courtyard in the Holy Dragon Kingdom's royal capital.
Antonio leisurely lay on a chair and drank tea. The chair swayed back and forth, allowing him to enjoy the sunlight fully.
"I heard that Watson caught a group of elven assassins during the day and used the fusion system to turn King Landhar III into one of his own. Most importantly, he created a new magic source. If this goes on, the war will soon end."
It was evening. What Watson had done during the day had long been communicated to him by the sea folks through the Dragon Palace Network that connected the entire kingdom.
After all, Watson had created a new magic source and fused King Landhar III. Watson would have to report to him because he had the peak starlight-tier weapon that Watson had created. He could borrow the new magic source's power. The more magic sources there were in the world, the stronger he would become.
Similarly, the others around Watson were the same. As long as they had given their faith to Watson, they would receive his gifts. The stronger the energy Watson created, the more benefits those believers would receive.
"If this goes on, I don't have to do anything. I just need to drink tea and bask in the sun every day to become stronger. Who knows, I might even break through to starlight-tier and become a god in my lifetime."
Antonio fantasized about the future as he stroked the stubble that did not exist on his face. "If I can reach the starlight tier, I can take Vivian to a place without war and strife to live a peaceful life! Before Watson left, I told him to try his best to ensure Vivian's safety during the war with the elves. I believed that he would be able to do it."
He had planned to leave the capital after Watson grew up and go to the Elven Kingdom to see Vivian. However, King Landhar III had been scheming against Watson, so he could not leave. Since Watson had used the fusion system to solve their problem with King Landhar III, he had nothing to worry about.
Antonio sipped from his teacup leisurely. "The tea from the south of the Holy Dragon Kingdom is different, indeed. It's delicious! It was impossible to drink such good tea in the capital in the past. Now, it's all thanks to Watson."
Due to the Dragon Palace Network and the appearance of the planetary fortress, the goods in the kingdom could be transported quickly. As a result, many places could enjoy the delicious food because they could ferry them quickly. They can enjoy the food after waiting for only a few minutes. The prices of the goods would also be reduced, promoting productivity and making the Holy Dragon Kingdom better.
Hiss!
A sharp pain came from the tip of his tongue, interrupting Antonio's thoughts. He opened his mouth and spat out a sharp tea leaf that did not fit in with the other tea leaves. "How could there be such sharp tea leaves in the teacup? Those servants are just too careless. Someone else might have been injured after drinking that tea."
Antonio frowned. He felt a vague sense of unease in his heart. He was an astrologer and was proficient in astrology and tarot cards. He could use astrology to spy on the fate of a person or even a kingdom.
He had not used that skill for a long time since he accepted Watson as his disciple, but it did not mean that he was rusty. At that moment, he could feel strong malice constantly invading him from unknown places, making him feel uncomfortable.
"I keep feeling that something terrible is going to happen. Did Reid go behind my back to ask Watson for a new weapon? Did the maids discover that I farted a few times in the hot spring?"
Antonio muttered in confusion. He extended his right hand, and threads appeared in his hand. Those threads were the threads of a peak starlight-tier tool. Using those threads, he could use the energy from the magic source to draw the star tarot card for divination.
Before he could start, a scarlet light flashed across the space not far away from him. A scarlet door appeared, and a scarlet-haired girl walked out from behind it.
"Antonio, long time no see. How have you been? You look worried. Did you encounter anything troubling?"
"The Primordial Demoness' aura. Are you from the Demoness Church? That couldn't be. That power surpassed any mortal's skills. Are you a starlight-tier elite? There are only a few of those elites in the world, and Watson had a hand in upgrading their tiers. I wouldn't have not known you. However, I've never seen you before. Are you—"
When the girl heard Antonio's words, she revealed a look of approval. It meant that Antonio was right. She gestured for Antonio to continue.
"Perhaps you're not from this world. Are you a god from the divine realm? Watson had managed to upgrade the world's level, so I've been dreading this problem. I didn't expect it to occur so quickly. Tell me, which of the seven gods are you?"
Antonio took two steps backward. The threads covered his entire body, and he stared at the girl in front of him vigilantly.
'No wonder I had a bad feeling. It turns out that one of the seven gods is here for revenge. I should be able to hold my own against a starlight-tier elite. I need to convey this information to Watson via magic and wait for him to come here.'
The only starlight-tier elites that Watson had offended were the kingdom's seven gods. Therefore, when Antonio saw the young girl in front of him, the first thing he thought of was that one of the gods had come for their revenge.
Black lines appeared on the young girl's face. "Antonio, I've misjudged your insight. Well, I never intended to expose my identity! I'll just tell you the purpose of my visit, but I hope you can see something before that."
As she spoke, the girl opened her hands, and a scene formed by magic appeared in front of Antonio. His eyes widened when he saw the scene.
"That is—"
"See, she's in my hands now. If you want her to live, you'll have to listen to me."
"What did you do to her? Do you want to kill her? You're truly cruel."
"That's nothing. If you don't agree to do as I say, I'll let you know what cruelty means."
"You'll tie her up and roast her over the fire? Is there anything more cruel than that? "
"Roast over the fire?"
The girl was stunned. She looked at the magic screen in her hand and saw a fat bare-skinned wild boar. It was placed over a fire, and it continued to struggle and wail as it was roasted.
While she was watching that, Antonio mocked her from the side. "How pitiful. That was the first time I saw a wild boar roasted over the fire while it was still alive. That cooking method is cruel, indeed."
"I'm sorry. That was when I was eating. It's the next scene, so watch it again."
The girl appeared to be embarrassed. The scene changed from a roasted wild boar to a tied-up beautiful girl with a piece of cloth wrapped around her mouth. She was constantly twisting and whimpering. The girl was surrounded by scarlet vipers in poisonous fog. Any magical beast that passed by had quickly left out of fear.
