CHAPTER 32
Luke looked at the women who was in front of him and was angry. She was the princess of the Kingdom and was sent to ask for me to go to the capital to swear fealty to the kingdom. He did not like it. For the normal duke it would not have been possible to declare sovereignty as they would have to face the kingdom's force and the nearby kingdom's force. The current kingdom Awaciva was the one who was the strongest but the problem was that the newly rising kingdom Elthia was strong enough to challenge them.
The princess Elsa was still blabbering, "We will make sure that you are given some more mammoths that we have got the alliance. So when are we leaving."
Luke said, "I have no interest in Mammoths. They may be strong but they are not useful in battlefield."
Elsa said, "I like them. After we get married, I need to make sure that my share of animals is bought here. I do not want some of my sister to take them away."
Rob and Mark rose from the shadows. Luke was really angry. For the women to say that she will be marrying an angel was not something that could be described by the word audacity. Luke looked at her and said, "What do you mean by the marriage?"
Elsa looked at him and said, "Usually the dukes get married to the princesses to make sure that the friendship remains and that the bloodline remains strong."
Rob and Mark were laughing deep inside about the foolishness of her words. Angels had nothing to do with the word bloodline as the concept did not apply to them. Luke looked at her and said, "I have no interest in marrying you."
Elsa said, "You have no choice but to marry me. There is no one in the upper society who is worthy of you except for me and you cannot marry someone from the lower stature as they will not be worthy of your seat. You will have no choice but to marry men. I also do not want to marry you. You will have to at least make a big castle separate for me and have to help my younger brother on the fight for the throne."
Luke looked at Mark and said, "Kill her."
The princess laughed thinking that he was joking. Mark killed her and her body was killed and destroyed. Luke took the soul and destroyed into the basic essence of the universe and it was destroyed into nothingness. Luke had practised the law of destruction and it was destroyed and nothing was left. He looked at it and said, "Kill whoever was the one behind her, even the king. Go and inform Arborol to ensure that all the lords under are loyal. Prepare for war."
Mark bowed and left. Luke looked at Rob and asked, "Can we get normal human mercenaries from other worlds?"
Rob bowed and said, "It is possible."
Luke said to him, "Announce the independence of the dukedom and ensure that this nation shall be named the holy kingdom. Ensure that the dragon riders are under control. If they do not comply, kill them and the whole family and their dragons too. Also get me some dragon meat from the demon trading platform. I want it barbequed with sacred spice. Bring me ten thousand servings."
Rob bowed and left. Luke liked to eat dragon meat. Dragons were nothing more than an inferior race to demons. They were nothing more than creatures. Luke wanted to find the taste of a sacred dragon but they were a really rare race as they were under the servitude of the light good angels. The good angels did not have demons to support them and they could only bring other beings to serve under them. They had formed a heavenly realm where the ones they identify as the good one was allowed to remain and allowed to grow stronger. There were heroes and kings, elves and dragons, giants and titans. Luke was not interested in titans as they were humanoid but dragons were different for him. Some dragons were bigger than the universe and so were the titans. Rarely does any being become strong in their own world as not many worlds can allow their energy consumption but after they ascend to the heavenly realm, they will be blessed to grow stronger. Most of the worlds are left alone by both the angels and their servants as there is no much use to have more worlds under them. They just come once in a while to harvest their resources.
Many of the lords of the dukedom did not like the fact that they had to rebel. Their families were exterminated and the armies had taken over their territories. The king's consort who had sent the princess and her family was exterminated. There were many methods to make sure that they behaved and the demons emulated the power of sage realm and the powerful sages were more than enough for independence. The king Awaciva wanted to sent for war but he could not do so as the Elthia was at the other side and Awaciva was between the rebels and the enemy nation. The holy kingdom was established and they were recognized.
Luke held a very big party and the two dragons' body were roasted for the party. Two of the dragon riders had tried to stand against him and they were killed. The ceremony was nothing special other than asking all the lords and the people to call him king and take the oath again. The party was going on the lords and ladies who had decided to stand by the side of King Luke was happy. Luke did not care much and he was happy. He ate the dragon meat that he had bought from the demons and kept eating it.
His parents were talking to their friends and he did not care much. Luke ate the food and the daughter of Count of Vineland named Sophia came to him. She bowed and said, "Greetings your majesty."
Luke looked at her and smiled, "Greetings." He was good to his own people as long as they never stood above him. She was his citizen and hence he would be willing to talk to her. All the citizens under him had a mark on their soul as the reward for being his citizen. As long as they had faith for him and they followed and contributed for him, the mark would solidify more and they will be allowed to keep their memory intact in the next life. As long as they do not break the precepts he had set and follow him, he will help them if necessary.
Sophia smiled and asked, "I heard that we are going to face the war."
Luke looked at her and said, "There will be no war for five to six years. Awacia and Elthia will be fighting and they will have no chance to fight against us. But we will be taking the war to them. We have to make sure that they have formed an alliance. As long as they are really in war, then we will destroy Awacia."
Sophia laughed and said, "They should be killed."
Luke looked at her questioningly. She said, "Our dukedom is always being pushed down and made fun of, due to the fact that there are no saints supporting us. Now that we have more saints and we were already strong in other things, we can win easily."
Luke looked at her and said, "That is a thing. You can go and play with your friends." She bowed and left.
Luke had introduced the martial arts system to their knight training system that was perfected by him and gave it for free to all of his citizens who made the citizen contract with him. The nobles were given higher methods my signing higher contracts. The whole kingdom had become stronger as there were many more stronger knights.
Luke learning to control the power he had attached the concept of infinity to his core and the whole body had become stronger and the limit of infinity was no longer the infinity. It seemed that he had not become infinity and neither had he reached infinity. His body had the attribute of infinity.
He was controlling his power as he ate the food. Mark rose from the shadows and said to him, "We have news that there is an auction for the whole body of a sacred dragon."
Luke looked at him and asked, "What realm?"
He looked at him and said, "multi-universal level. Precisely his body contains the energy equivalent to type 3 universe."
Luke looked at him and asked, "Are there any complications?"
Mark said, "His soul is killed as he angered the angel he was serving. The dragon body is a pure body made of sacred matter and it is useful to angels only. The body was taken with a huge risk and exchange of benefits. There are very few people who can get it."
Luke stood and released his aura in a gentle manner completely. He found that he could feel the infinite universe and he could destroy them. He was confused as he did not think that infinity was easy to achieve. He checked out properly and found that outside the infinite universes, there were more infinite universe and he could keep moving. He found that he was in a similar state to that of Lucifer. He found that he broke through level 4, and his laws evolved to rule and he was able to create, destroy, control and manipulate all laws. He found that the world was really infinite but the god was only one and the angels were only a few. He really had doubt at the fact whether there were only such a finite number of angels. He searched and could sense many angels and the angles could sense him. He found that he could break out of the infinite infinities and found that the world was still the world but the angels were finite. He again searched and found that there was no being similar to angel or god. He used his power to get out of the concept known as world and found that he could destroy the whole world and here there was nothing that exists. He also found that he could create another infinite worlds with more infinities and found that the world that existed could be destroyed by him. When he released the aura of destruction, multiple auras targeted him and he found that there were a few that were not angles. He released the aura and their aura was also released. He also found that there were a few beings who were really powerful and the angels were indeed the strongest as they were not a race, but rather was a conceptual being.
Luke understood that if he wanted to break through level 5, it had something to do with concept as this had to do with the rule of foreknowledge. He found that the god was different and he could not sense the beginning or end of the god. He could not sense the end of god even with infinity. God sensed him and he was suppressed. It just happened and there was nothing he could do. The god left him a message through forming the words in nothingness which asked him to live his life fully and not to be blind for strength but to not forget his real intention and to become strong if he wanted to but to still enjoy the life the way he wanted. Luke asked the god why he said so and the god replied in some manner such that he could understand that he considered all the angels his children as he had made them himself and by extension all those who became angels would be considered family by him. Luke respectfully replied thanks and returned to his universe and returned to his planet and then returned to his castle.
Luke looked at mark and said, "when is the auction."
Mark looked at him and said, "After twelve radians of standard void time"
Luke frowned as the twelve radians meant that it would take around twelve trillion years in the world level he is experience life in. Why did he have to increase his feeling? Even if he went to the heavenly realm or the hell realm, it would still take around twelve million in the standard time for the most average being and for him the time would be slower as he is faster. He looked at him. Why did he do such foolish things? Mark said, "We serve you for more than 49 radians. This auction needs registration now and it is my duty to make sure that you are satisfied to completion."
Luke looked at him and said, "You demon butler are good. But what makes you think that I will want a sacred dragon after such a long time. I might start hating the dragons. I might like the elf maids more than the demon butlers."
The aura of Mark was released from his body but was unsensed as it was the stronger than the universe. He said with gritted teeth, "Those bitches cannot be believed, my lord."
Luke smiled as he wanted to see the butler show some emotions and said, "Who knows? Maybe I would want some sexy maid by then."
Mark said, "Those bitches always talk about good things like keeping chastity and would not be with you unless you marry her. It would be better to have some succubus as maids."
Luke looked at him and said, "I may hire someone from the white department as I do not do evil for evil and hence will not be considered a fallen angel even if I do some evil things. You are not worthy to dictate what I can do or not. I have not much interest in women as women are beings who have thought of their own and I do not have interest in any being who I cannot control and understand to the very essence and when I understand it to the very essence I have to doubt whether all this is true or false, a dream or reality or a simulation. I have absolute surety of what I am and who I am and it will not change even in dreams or death or lies but the fact remains I cannot trust anyone even in dreams and even if I am the only true god. So the fact is simple, I only dabble on things I do not consider interesting like having some citizens or hiring you. I do not fucking care if the whole world is nothing more than a play arranged by someone to make fun of me or if I really have the strength and everything is real because my heart was closed the moment I knew the truth of all possibilities. The only thing I do is something I do not care of and something that does not matter to be taken away as I do not care but I do not allow such things to happen. Life is such foolish things."
Luke was tired from his thought as he was still as weak as he was at the beginning. There were still people who were above him. He wanted to relax and be alone for a long period of time as his mentality was gradually being distorted due to fact. He looked at Mark and said, "Go and order one VIP ticket. You can tell me how much energy crystals are necessary. I will be alone for some period of time."
Luke created a completely different space and accelerated the time to infinity. All the strong beings could sense it but they neither stopped it and they neither joined the faster time. Luke entered alone and closed the world and anchored his current universe and took it into his hands and stopped its time. Everywhere there was nothing other than his body and free space. He decided to stay alone and concentrate on understanding himself and clearing his ideas.
