Chapter 27 Invitation And New Ability

Chapter 27 Invitation and New Ability

"Let's focus on the task at hand." Dark forcefully took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Okay!" Damien removed his hand and the atmosphere turned serious.

"We need to liven up the place before its advertised and opened up. Mostly the exterior. The interior will be according to the preferences of the tenant." He said as Dark rummaged through the contacts on her device.

"How are you going to pay him?" Dark asked.

"The god queen will pay him." He said.

"It's here."

She handed her device to Damien, who pressed the call icon. The device was in the form of a smartphone from 21st century Earth.

Gigan, was currently in a tub filled with a murky brown liquid. His chest was visible above the water and he was leaning back and relaxing in it.

[Beep!]

His device, which was placed on a platform connected to the tub on the right rang.

'Who could be calling me?' He wondered as he reached out to check the identity of the caller.

'Oh what would the secretary of the Nightmare god king want with me?' He pressed the answer icon.

"Hello!"

{It is I, Damien}

"Oh! What would you need at this time Mr. Okoye?" Gigan asked curiously. His eyes had widened in shock. According to what he remembered, Dark never gave any attention to any males. It came as a shock to him that a mere demigod was given the right to use her device.

His face expressed his intense jealousy as the fingers of his left hand tightened around the side of the brown bath tub, deforming it.

{I am inviting you to The Phoenix Palace as I have something to discuss with you Mr. Munene.}

'I am not your servant!' He thought in his mind as brown colored light started rippling from his body creating waves in the brown liquid in the tub.

"Of course, I will be there." He answered with a voice which didn't betray any emotional turmoil he was feeling.

He disconnected the call after his statement as the thought of that mere demigod using the device of the beautiful Dark for a certain length of time was revolting for him.

"It seems we must find a certain window of opportunity to show that outsider bumpkin who truly is on top." He muttered to himself, after which he took a deep breath and sunk into the tub of brown liquid.

Among the five representatives of the clans, he was the person who was the most dangerous. He was patient, calm but also the craziest. The other three men would rather offend Silver from the leading clan than offend him.

"There is something wrong with this guy." Damien commented after getting off the audio call with Gigan.

"You should be very careful of him. He's a deep schemer. If I am not mistaken, you have already offended him. Anyone who does, doesn't have a good ending." She warned seriously when she saw how carefree he was.

"I know, he is the most dangerous one among all the representatives." He said as he leaned back into the sofa.

"How did you handle those five clans when you were working under the Nightmare god king?" He asked curiously.

"I didn't interact with them much but, you will have to since they want a piece of the profits the god queen is getting."

"Aren't they too greedy? They already get the taxes from the goods passing through the city and am sure they even embezzle some of it." He commented.

"That's how those clans are! They have a hand in every aspect if this city, so removing them won't work. The clan only declines when their clan heads die and no one is powerful enough to take up the position leading to infighting."

"Its also one of the reasons the god king clan leaders stay out of the city. Even if one of them dies, it can be a secret for a long time." She continued.

"You should be very wary of the Munene and Butwa clan. They aren't simple. You can even say that they are evil. If it wasn't because they haven't yet done something which crosses the line in the light of day, they would have already been destroyed."

"Hmmm hmmm. Anyway, I don't know when that guy will be coming. I will have to send someone to welcome him." He changed the subject as his thoughts moved to Itetia and Lino.

'I mostly don't care for what happens to that high and mighty. Itetia. Hmmm! I will send her.' He nodded his head subconsciously while deep in his thoughts.

"Why are you nodding your head?" Dark, who got an opportunity to view his face up close due to him not noticing, asked after some time.

"Nothing, I will send Itetia." He decided.

"Now I wonder what I should do while waiting for her to wake up?" He wondered. Ever since he came to the palace, he has found it boring. Even though he teases Dark here and there, his life here isn't comparable to the one in the universe where he could roam freely and do anything he wanted.

'Let me simply see if I can create a new ability' he thought.

He held out his right hand and elemental particles in the air gathered and rearranged themselves in the form of his blood red strings signifying his divinity.

They then increased in number until a drop of red blood appeared in his hand. It multiplied as it absorbed more elemental particles causing the drop to expand.

"What are you doing?" Dark asked while staring at the expanding blood drop.

"I am experimenting with my divinity." He answered without taking his eyes away.

'Should I try to form a mini clone?' This thought passed through his mind before he acted on it.

Blood red strings escaped from his palms and started merging with the blood drop increasing its expansion speed.

"Aren't your suit and that burning red form your abilities?" Dark asked curiously.

"The suit...is like a weapon woven from my strings. It isn't an ability of my divinity. The blood burning form is the only current ability I have. The suit is like an artifact." He explained as the the blood drop had turned into a ball the size of his head and was floating above his palm.

'First, are the bones' he triggered the blood strings and some of them gathered towards the middle of the blood sphere and formed a blood red skeleton.

Flesh started growing on it and so did organs.

Dark's eyes had turned onto black holes as she activated her elemental sight to view the process.

All the essential organs and tissues like those of a human on Earth were formed before a skin formed over it.

The created clone had consumed all the blood sphere. Even though it was just fifteen inches tall.

After its formation, Dark, who had been staring at it,had a red tint creep up her face to her ears and she turned her head away.

"Why didn't you create any clothing for it?" She asked as she tried not bring herself to look at it.

It had the signature dark skin and it was in Damien's image. It had a bald head which made him click his tongue in his mind. He was amazed at how the god queen's restriction could still act upon even a clone created from his strings.

'I must be careful not to offend her or any other powerful god kings/queens.' He thought as he seriously looked at the clone.

He didn't catch any of the things Dark said prompting her to turn her head back a little. She saw that he was frowning in thought as he looked at the clone floating above his palm.

'It seems I will need strings the equivalent of the number in my body to create a clone as powerful as my body? Good thing am here. Should I drop it into the seven colored liquid? That is risky. It might develop its own awareness since the liquid is a god level treasure. But if I were to use my strings, it would take a lot of time and I will need billions of elemental crystals? Aaaah!' The dilemma in his mind caused the frown on his face to deepen.

"Hey!" A voice broke through his thoughts causing him to refocus his attention back to reality.

Dark is the person who had called out to him.

"What are you worrying about?" She asked.

"This ability is going to cost me an astronomical price to develop." He said as he sighed.

His thoughts moved causing the clone to collapse back into blood which he reabsorbed back into his body.

"You will be earning lots when this place opens and even if the cost is astronomical, you will eventually be able to afford it." She consoled when she saw his downcast expression.

"You are right! We just have to make sure that this project becomes a success." Damien's eyes once again gained a burning flame of confidence.

"Besides, having multiple abilities will allow you to have an easier path towards becoming a god king." Dark continued.
