Chapter 249: *Getting what she had always wanted*
Her mother then said to her, "You seem confident this time, yet even after ravaging this world three times already, both of you have never found anything, and now that this God of Destruction has seen through your plan, he won’t let you ravage it a fourth time."
Cassandra smiled and said, "This time it’s different, Mother. Even if I fail to find the Acrium, I’ll just have to let this Warrior Spirit and his friends find it for me, and then I’ll steal it from them. When a person thinks he has won, he lets his guard down, so if they find it before I do, I will take advantage of that moment of weakness to attack them."
Cassandra added to reassure her mother, "Besides, between Father’s men and the monsters Lilith is training in her personal dimension, they won’t stand a chance. After all, with Lilith, we have already managed to reduce Mykael’s powers to 10% in this world. So even with his men, and even if Elias got involved, they won’t be able to do anything against our army."
Diana frowned and then said to her, "Don’t underestimate your opponents. Don’t forget that Elias was called the Slayer of Gods, and that was even before he became a god... I saw this pathetic human standing alone against the tyranny that the gods were exercising at that time with my own eyes, and believe me, for a human, he was no longer pathetic; he was terrifying. His powers defied imagination, and my visions could never predict his next movements..."
Diana remembered that time very well, and it happened long before the war with the Titans. The reign of the gods was absolute, and most of them had forgotten that they were supposed to guide the humans and creatures that populated the worlds of this universe and not tyrannize them.
Elias, at first, was the only one to rebel, but other Warrior Spirits appeared one after the other in these oppressed worlds, and Elias, who was by far the strongest among them, became their general.
He could open transdimensional portals at will and he always seemed to know where a new Warrior Spirit was appearing. As the gods who abused their powers were all eliminated by this army of Warrior Spirits, the Creator himself had to intervene and put an end to this chaos.
After that, he became the God of War and disappeared for a long time with the rest of his Warrior Spirits without anyone knowing what they were doing.
He had only reappeared when the war with the Titans was over, and as she had gone to live with them in their world to follow her future husband, she had no idea of his current power or what had become of the Warrior Spirits he had taken with him back then.
Cassandra could see that her mother was worried, but it made her smile, and she said to her, "Don’t worry. Lilith has prepared a great opponent for them... and their first confrontation will be in just a few days. I can’t wait to see their reaction when they will face her champion."
Her mother finally smiled at her and said, "I’m not worried, darling. Soon you’ll be able to face them all without fear. Your father was really happy with you this time, and he has decided to help you finish awakening the bloodline of the Titans that is still sealed in your genes."
But Diana added, though, "Your father warned me that it would take you several days to assimilate it and that it would be very painful. You may have to wait a little before recovering from it... And darling... never forget who your father is; he can accept some errors but not a failure. So don’t disappoint him, or what he gave you, he will take it back."
Cassandra’s smile widened; finally, this Warrior Spirit will have allowed her to get what she had always wanted. She was literally jubilant inside; she was finally going to have the power to fight on equal terms against Mykael and Elias. She couldn’t wait to see their faces when they realized her new power.
......
Meanwhile, Axel and Kevin were finally relaxing and taking a well-deserved hot bath in their pavilion in the Sun Sect. They had quickly explored the dimension that was connected to their ring.
It had a cloudless blue sky, the temperature was ideal, and Kevin had also been able to feel, even without going into meditation, that this dimension was charged with spiritual energy. Tomorrow, he would try to meditate there to see if his impression was correct.
An ocean of lamprey blue color stretched as far as the eye could see, and with Axel, they had decided not to explore the dimension completely and to just go see what was on the islands they could see. In addition to the central island, which was the largest one and where there was a luxurious villa with all the comfort to be able, as Mykael had said, to rest in a paradisiacal place, they had discovered, for the moment, four other islands.
Two of them had a building that served as a warehouse, another had a fighting ring, and the last one seemed to remain in a wild state with luxuriant vegetation.
Axel, who had wanted to prove to Kevin that he could use his chakra when he thought of it, had made them cross the ocean that separated these islands by concentrating his chakra in his feet.
He had been able to run freely on this lamprey blue water with Kevin in his arms, and at that moment, he had really felt like he was on a honeymoon.
The first warehouse they had discovered was filled with powerful weapons of all kinds; all of them were at least high grade, and some were even artifacts.
They hadn’t wanted to waste too much time because it had been a long day, so they had decided to check all the weapons another day.
After that, they had gone to the second warehouse, which was filled with a mountain of gold and magic crystals of legendary grade.
They hadn’t been to the other two islands, but if this was a hastily prepared gift, then Mykael must have unlimited resources.
Then they had teleported directly to their living room, and before going to take their bath, they had changed the lava stones around their baby phoenix, which had turned black again, and they had their dinner.
It was already the fourth time they had changed them, so just one more time and all the lava stones would be used up... It also meant that their baby phoenix would soon hatch, and they were both very excited to see what he would look like.
