Chapter 6 Arrival

Chapter 6 Arrival

Currently, Damien could see the end. It was a cube shaped tower surpassing the height at which the suns were but his revolting stomach and blurry eyes prevented him from noticing anything else.

His body had weakened and gotten thinner due to him losing too many elemental strings. Once you became a one string being, you had to replace your genetic code with elemental strings. Even all other forms of lifeforms including energy and ghostly beings reconfigured their forms with elemental strings once they reached one string.

Damien's eyes were currently bloodshot beneath his glasses. His skin looked like it was just hanging at his bones as his skull could vaguely be traced beneath his thin facial skin. The blood red flames which had been shrouding his figure had become sporadic due to a lack of fuel as he had list most of his blood.

His thin figure arrived in front of the tower upon which he collapsed on the steps.

Silver, who had come out to welcome him was startled as her eyes widened like full moons upon seeing his stick like figure.

"Pick him up." She ordered the man behind her. He was one of the four male scions of the other four major clans who was trying to court her. She had coincidentally ran into him as he was outside the tower occasionally glancing towards the teleportation formation while pacing about in front. Since he was trying to get the beauty, he arrived near Damien's stick like figure and placed him on his right shoulder ruthlessly.

'You get the privilege to ride on my shoulder you filthy creature because of Silver. This person is too gross.' He thought as he scrounged up his face upon looking at the stick like figure on his shoulder.

He followed after Silver as they both stepped into the formation. They were swallowed by the light.

The teleportation formation in front of the palace on the platform lip up and they reappeared. The man's eyes lit up upon seeing the palace. He had been here when the changes happened but he was still mesmerised by them.

The platform and the palace had both turned golden and golden flames sporadically ignited randomly. But they weren't dangerous even if they ignited on you. You would only feel warm and rejuvenated.

"What are you doing? Come." Silver called out impatiently as she gestured. She had been walking towards the palace while the man had been simply standing in place.

"Oh...am coming." Said the man upon awakening from his daze. He increased his stride to catch up with her.

'I will one day get you in my bed, bitch.' He thought as he licked his lips as he stared at Silver's backside. She was still dressed in a silver office outfit. The shortness of the skirt allowed the man to admire her thighs. He decided to walk behind her as he continued to leer at her while gulping down mouthfuls of saliva.

They entered through the widely opened gate and moved towards a side residence. The palace contained multiple pavilions and residencies. No plants could be seen as the Nightmare god king hadn't cared while Phoenix hadn't gotten around to decorating the place.

They walked along a golden cobbled path arriving at a tiny residence. Silver pushed open the door and entered along with the man. They passed through the living room and bedroom straight to the bathroom upon which a tub filled with a six colored liquid entered their eyes.

Both their eyes widened as they laid eyes on the liquid.

"How can such a precious resource be given to an outsider demigod?" The man shouted as saliva sprayed out of his mouth. He hurriedly clamped a hand to his mouth as this place was the domain of the god queen. Upon seeing nothing happening, he removed it and breathed in a sigh of relief but his eyes were still widened in shock.

'Her majesty really does favour this bumpkin. I wonder what she sees in him. This is elemental particle liquid we are talking about!! It can only be synthesized by gods from elemental crystals and just a litre is very expensive let alone an entire tub.' Silver thought as she calmed down. She turned her beautiful gaze to the red suited dark skinned man on the scion's shoulders.

"Dump him in but be careful, no liquid must spill." Ordered Silver.

The man removed Damien from his shoulders and gently placed him in the tub carefully to prevent any spillage.

'Bumpkin, you better hope we don't meet again or else...' Thought the man as an ugly expression graced his face upon lowering Damien in the tub.

"Let's go." Said Silver upon noticing the unkind look in the man's eyes.

'It will be better if this guy attacks so that I can gauge her Majesty's true stance towards this bumpkin. But I guess it will be for the future.' She thought as she took one last look at Damien in the tub upon which she led the man outside.

The six colored liquid in the tub started being absorbed by Damien's body through his pores once his body was placed inside. Once the liquid arrived inside his body, the individual elemental particles in it combined to form blood red strings to replenish Damien's deficiency. The god queen had known that he lacked the fire elemental string so she had prepared liquid matching the elemental strings already in his body.

----------

Damien's eyes opened to an unfamiliar ceiling. He looked around as he tried to focus his vision. He tried to recall what had led him to this place as he entered a dazed state.

"That bitch!!! I must find her." His eyes widened and he shouted upon remembering the events that took place. He stood up abruptly upon which he felt his wet body.

He looked down at himself and saw six colored liquid soaking his suit.

"What is this?" He muttered with knitted brows while standing in the tub.

"Am no longer hungry and tired." He said as he rubbed his stomach.

"Did my hair grow back?" He hurriedly touched his head and felt the emptiness. He collapsed back into the tub listlessly upon feeling no trace of his great hair. The liquid bobbed up and down as his body hit the tub.

As he was wallowing in his despair, he sensed the six colored liquid entering his body and being converted into his signature blood red strings upon which his eyes widened in surprise. A silly grin adorned his face as he deliberately sped up his body's absorption of the liquid.

'This is a great treasure. I wonder who brought me here and where this place is? All the things I lay my eyes on seem normal but I sense that they are made of strings. Even when my eyes try to magnify their surfaces, I still can't see the strings let alone any elemental particles.'

"Okay, now I have absorbed all the liquid. I feel no hunger and tiredness, now it is time to explore." He muttered as he stood up and went to the full body rectangular mirror on the wall.

His hands blurred as he speedily fixed his neck tie and rearranged his messy suit. He took off his glasses and directed his red pupils to his figure in the mirror.

'Perfection incarnate. Now back to the task at hand of getting back my hair.' He smirked at his reflection, snapped his fingers delightedly and put on his glasses as his gaze turned away from the mirror. He exited the bathroom into the bedroom and living room.

When he went outside, he was blown away as everything was in gold.

'How could I be viewing stars? The suns are supposed to be blocking the star light.' He thought as he placed his hands in his pockets.

He walked upon the golden cobbled path as his eyes darted around. Due to not knowing anything about the place, he wandered aimlessly but he wasn't in any hurry as this place made him feel at peace.

As he was walking, his eyes had involuntarily lowered as he was mesmerised by the golden fires popping up along the path. It seemed as if they were vested with life as they formed cute creatures.

'Cute!! Too bad I can't catch one to make my perfect self happy.' He thought as his expression warmed at seeing the cute flame creatures.

"Oh..." A sweet voice came from a figure he bumped into while his gaze was lowered. His lowered head had bumped into two soft bouncy balls and his glasses had fell off his face. The figure owning the bouncy balls leaned backwards due to recoil from the bounciness.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand subconsciously and hugged the figure's waist pulling her towards himself. He raised his head and stared into the figure's eyes. It was a black haired, black eyed light skinned woman. Her face was currently flushed in crimson.He was mesmerised by her cute expression. He could feel her spiking heart rate which sent tiny vibrations through her massive peaks.

Dark Phoenix could feel his sturdy chest as her massive peaks were being squeezed upon it. Her heart beat accelerated as this was the first time she had gotten this close to the opposite sex. All the words she was going to say vanished from her mind the moment she beheld his blood red eyes.

"Pardon me miss." He said as he released her upon feeling the softness of her massive peaks.

'I have come up with a new dream. I am going to form a harem of goddesses to compliment my perfect self.' He declared in his mind as his wolfish gaze settled on her.

Dark Phoenix felt her body's temperature rising upon seeing his searing gaze. Her eyes darted around as she tried to avoid his gaze. She was dressed in a white shirt, black suit and black mini skirt. Her hair slid down her back like a waterfall. Her feet were embraced in a pair.of dark stilleto heels.

"Nice to meet you, I am Damien Okoye. Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked as he gave a gentleman's bow while his eyes trapped hers as he questioned.

"Here are your glasses." She bent down and picked up his fallen glasses while still avoiding eye contact. She shoved them in his hands and her figure blurred as she vanished.
