Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Laying out the map of the area, I hastily shook my head. "Nope, get rid of that. I will not leave until we have conclusive proof of the target. " I hurriedly said. I was not ready to risk myself getting lost for years.

"Then what would you suggest?" Said Talgor impatiently, wiggling his tentacles.

"Send out the word that there is a badass going by the name of Asura Bloodgrave here to kill Silven of the Court of Blood. Issue the challenge, and tell him I am willing, on the Honor of the Holy Swords, to meet him under any circumstances if he is ready to meet the challenge. " I indifferently proclaimed, nodding a bit at my own greatness.

"And if he sets a trap?" Said Talgor sharply. "This plan is foolish."

"Noted, now send out the word. I am a very busy man. Tell him he has a week. If he cannot meet the challenge, begin issuing a newspaper of his cowardice. Bring shame to not just him but the Court of Blood."

Crossing his arms with something to prove, Talgor growled in a bit of defense, "Asura, you are an asset to the Sect. I cannot allow you to do such a thing!"

"Blah, sure you can. If not, well, my next plan is to have everyone under the thumb of the holy swords seek out Silven of the Court of Blood on their own. Doing so will put these innocent people at risk and make the Holy Swords look incompetent when people just start dying." I justified clapping my hands. This was just a random thought, but it did make sense. Maybe this should be my first plan.

Cracking his palms, I really wanted to be claws to match his lobster appearance over the table. A thunderous boom raced over my ears. Startling my two daughters, they too turned towards Talgor.

"Fuck you! Your a sick. You would--"

"Yeah, Yeah," I impatiently waved off, "I'm evil, I'm the devil blah blah blah blah. Follow the first plan, then. That way, I am the only one at risk. Set up the challenge and stop bitching. The faster this man dies, the quicker I can go about my business. "

Eying me with a livid expression, Tolgor stormed off. Whether he would do what I asked or not was still a mystery. If he failed to live up to my request, I could just blow this planet up. This will work perfectly for me. I get trillions of souls, and the target will be exposed.

"Can't papa use the darkness to seek this person out?" Ty suddenly chimed in. Placing her two hands over her hips, she flashed me a bright smile, "You used 'Rule' before. Can't you use it for this?"

Creasing my brow, I frowned, "You know what 'Rule' was?" I asked, understanding that Ty did not know that it was Ageis that had taken over.

"Of course! Ty has inherent memories, you know! Ty's first papa, Tartarus, also has 'Rule.' It's usually reserved for those at the peak of a particular Dao or a Sovereign of a specific land. By using Rule, you gain full access to your Dao."

"She is correct," Said Aegis like a ghostly apparition sounding off in my head. "Rule is the core of all Monarchs of the Elements. In my opinion, darkness is the strongest, but with Rule, you gain access to not just your element darkness but the darkness of Bed of Chaos. You will know everything going on in your land, and be able to see everything. With Rule active, you will be semi-omniscient."

Stunned by this information, more so that Tartarus was actually Littles Ty's father, I could not help but be intrigued.

"And before you ask me, I suggest you ask the Spirit of Monarchs first. It's the other soul in your body. It is the core of our heritage and power." Said Aegis before going silent.

'I really waisted a hundred years in lust and sloth, didn't I?' Shaking my head, disappointed in myself, I glanced at Ty and patted her tiny head. Taking a knee, I kissed her head. "Ty is the best."

"Arkanos wants kisses too!" She cried, charging at me with beady eyes. Tackling me, I could not help but spread the hugs and kisses. Baby girls are the best!

Standing back up after pacifying the two baby dragons, I could not help but anticipate what abilities I could gain from this Spirit. The Blood of Shadows had just about given me an extra life.

Taking my leave with the two kids following behind, I could not help but notice the few eyes upon me. Most were filled with disgust, while a few held a touch of admiration.

Ignoring the gazes of the randoms that were not even worthy of me learning their names. I made my way to the Branch Families cultivation ground. Disregarding the line, I made my way towards one of the elders.

"How much is it to rent a Time Manipulation chamber?" I asked as the human elder creased his scruffy brow. Standing at the peak of Heavenly Lord, he glanced at the line behind me and then at me.

"Do you not see the line?"

"What line?" I answered with another question. Of course, I saw the line. Arsene Snow doesn't stand in lines. What the hell is your point?

"The one behind you?" He pointed out as I turned to look at the various people glaring at me.

"Nope, now how much is it for a time chamber?" I asked, turning back to the elder.

"Papa is cutting!" Arkanos pointed.

"There are no lines when you are us." I claimed, patting her head, "Life lesson, Ok! Remember, humility is for those that need approval. I am sure Chosen's of the Holy Swords have special rights?"

"Asura Bloodgrave, I presume," The Elder grimly declared. Flicking my hair at my magnificence, I nodded.

"But of course, have you ever seen someone so handsome and talented as I?"

"All chosen are allowed a week time each month. And you being from the Main Sect, I will make an exception and allow you in now." He calmly remarked.

"Elder Weston! That is not fair! I have waited over a year!" A random from the line behind me cried. "How could you let this arrogant fool take our spot!"

Rolling my eyes, Elder Weston, as they called him, snorted, turning his back, "Follow me, Asura. I assume your daughters will be joining you?"

"Indeed. Their mother was taken into custody by the Sects enforcers. A shame, really.." I pitifully said, ignoring the fact I was the one to report her.
