Arthur didn't want to sacrifice the current originals for that. He knew he would have more curtains once he raided more settlements.
The settlements didn't vanish with the absence of the grandmaster of the dark angel clan. But they were scattered around and he had to wait for his armies to reach them first before coming for them.
Arthur watched the hesitant faces of the small army of originals he had. Before long they all abandoned their desire and returned to logic.
They knew Arthur wouldn't hesitate to kill any of them if they dared to move. Arthur said it before, he wanted to kill them to gain more of his black fabric.
So they didn't bet their lives on their greed and decided to retreat for now.
Except for one. The one who was their acting leader.
"May I ask for the flower for myself?" The original spoke in bravery and confidence that gained Arthur's admiration.
"I was thinking about testing it on you first," Arthur smiled before he snapped his fingers. A portal appeared before Arthur turned to Sara and said:
"Will you stay here or come with me?"
Sara wanted to come with him, but her curiosity made her refuse to leave. So Arthur turned to the originals around and said in loud tone:
"Follow her words to the letter and answer all her questions. She is an important general to me, so make sure not to touch her or else…"
His threat was clear and everyone bowed their heads in silence. The earlier failure of gaining the flower left its shadow over their heart till now.
Arthur then led the original through the portal and appeared at another place in this vast world.
"The flower," the face of the original, changed the moment he saw the flower. It was peacefully in midair while the wind played with its petals.
"How will you eat it?" Arthur was curious about this point.
"Simply by chewing it, lord," but the answer he got was way too simple to make him feel annoyed.
"Won't you process it first?" Arthur asked and when the face of the original showed his confusion, he added, "I mean like refining it. Turning it into a potion for example."
"I believe it's strongest in its current form," the original author gave this suggestion a little thinking before rejecting the idea.
"Alright, go ahead and happy meal."
As Arthur stood away and watched, the original moved towards the flower. Comparing the two together Arthur realized how small the flower was compared to the original.
"They have the right to call it the little flower," he sighed while watching the original cut the petals one by one and chew it in its raw form.
"Gross!" Arthur couldn't help to shift his gaze away from this. He didn't know why but he felt annoyed by this way of eating.
It was like eating raw grass without anything added to it! For someone who loved meat and appreciated seasoning and cooking techniques, he couldn't see any beauty in doing this.
The original didn't take long before he ate the entire flower. The next moment Arthur felt a sudden gust of wind before he looked attentively at the original.
"He is changing!"
Arthur watched the original's body changing at a fast pace. Its physique started to get a bit smaller while his body began to get covered with smooth skin.
Unlike before, the original started to look more like humans! His energy began to transform, and the purple fire inside him started to turn white.
"What's going on?" this wasn't what Arthur expected. He thought the originals would turn gigantic and more brutal. However this original in front of him started to grow smaller and became more like humans.
His skin became softer and smoother, his facial features changed and became more beautiful than before. The more time passed the more shocked Arthur became.
After all, what he saw in front of him was reminded of him by one person he saw in flesh… The world's will he once collaborated with and promised her freedom!
The original developed a set of wings, looking so shiny and with luster that reflected light. The ugly original from before changed to become such a beautiful refined lady.
And that moment was really shocking to Arthur himself!
He never expected this twist in events! Not even in his wildest and craziest dreams!
"How can this be…?!!!" As he was shocked, he couldn't help but think about many wild thoughts. So the first thing he tested here was the slave threads surrounding the original soul.
So he closed his eyes and started to test his three threads connecting him with the original. "It's still there," he opened his eyes with a relieved expression over his face.
If that transformation changed the original into a world's will and broke him free from his restraints, then Arthur would never do that again.
Plus that meant he had a brutal battle against such a strong being without even preparing or expecting it!
Despite him being vigilant and ready to put an epic fight against that transformed original, Arthur didn't move or speak. He watched the original getting the last touches before a gush of white light emanated from him.
Arthur could see the white energy emanated from the original at this moment. it was so pure and shiny like a jade. When he focused more, he could see faint lines of golden light inside the bright whiteness.
"This…" the moment the original opened his eyes he couldn't believe himself. Or she for now as the original turned into such a beautiful lady.
Even his voice came so sweet that allured Arthur at the moment. however Arthur already knew she hailed from being an ugly original, a man in fact.
So Arthur couldn't bring himself to appreciate her beauty. And for a moment there, he was pleased not to get involved with that sexy world's will from before.
Or else he would have regretted it right now.
He was a straight person after all!
