Worldly Overlord

A week had passed since that incident and for the past seven days, Devon was unconscious. He seemed to be in a deep sleep that could last for eternity.

During those seven days, a lot of things happened in the auction, one of them being the disappearance of the dominator, the sovereign, and the boss of the auction. There was no sign of them in the auction, and it was as if they vanished away from the underground world.

Something like this had never happened before, it made the members of the auction deeply worried.

The auction had a lot of enemies, big families and organizations were trying to get their hands on the treasures and artifacts in the auction. However, with the three masters still there, they didn't dare make a move.

With the disappearance of those three, the former peaceful auction became chaotic. The dispute happened left and right, and those who had grudges against one another settled it in a death match.

Four days later, the staff in the auction started leaving one after the other. They knew something must have happened to the three masters. Even lady Teresa couldn't be found anywhere also.

And if others in the underground world figure that out, it would only be death awaiting them. The former lively auction had changed, it was as silent as a graveyard in there.

They were only four members of the auction who decided to stay in the auction.

Another smile followed by a chuckle appeared on the face of the unconscious Devon. He seemed to be having a dream and from his expression, one could tell it was a serene one.

For the past seven days, in which Devon had been unconscious, that had been happening occasionally.

In Devon's dream, a boy who looked to be at least four or five years of age was laying on his Mother's lap as she gently rubbed his Achilles gold hair. The mother stared at the kid with unending love, and at the same time, there were worries all over their face.

A man holding a white-haired girl appeared before them. He smiled, staring at the woman. "How's my heir doing?"

"He's good." the woman said then gently tapping on the boy's shoulder, "Your father is back."

Hearing that his father was back, the boy stood up and rushed towards his father. The man carried the little boy who rushed toward him, "Hehehehehe! I brought something for you."

A black necklace appeared on the man's hand, he then wore it on the boy's neck, before dropping him on the ground. The boy stared at the necklace like someone who had just gotten a new toy.

The white-haired girl also got closer to the boy as both of them stared at the black necklace. She then roughed up the little guy's hair before fleeing away.

Both kids had a striking resemblance to their parents. They even inherited their parent's hair color.

"Elyse! Stop doing that to my hair." the boy said, though he sounded displeased by the girl's action, a smile appeared on his face as he chased after her.

"What? The necklace is ordinary..... There's no string attached. " The man stated, seeing how the woman was glaring at him.

The woman moved closer to the man, then placing her head on his chest as she hugged him dearly. "Thank you."

"Hehehehehehe...So, I get to salute the captain this night... Hehehehehe." the man wrapped his hands around the woman's waist. His words made her face turn red as she understood what he meant.

She flew out of his hands, "Kids, let's go have dinner." the woman walked towards the dining table, ignoring the man who seemed to have won a big battle.

The family of four were seated, having their dinner, all sort of tricks and jokes were said and performed by the man which made the kids and mother laugh. They appeared to be a very happy and strong family.

And there wasn't a crisis they couldn't deal with as long as they were together.

When they were done with their dinner, the whole family all went to watch a movie in the theater room before going to bed. Both parents then read the kids a story before leaving their rooms.

During the past seven days, those kinds of precious dreams were the ones he kept having. Devon was completely absorbed in the dream that he believed it was real.

Not until...

Devon felt someone or something pull him out of where he was, and the next thing that appears before him was a sea of blood and piles of bones all around.

The whole area was covered with blood and bones.

Devon looked around the environment, with how the building was, it didn't take long for him to realize that he was in a hall. Several thoughts were going on in Devon's head, as the thing he remembered was him and his families together.

So, how did he appear here..... Devon sighed, he knew that must have all been a dream.

If any human should appear in this kind of environment, he or she would be scared to death seeing the blood and bones on the whole place. However, Devon wasn't a tiny bit frightened by all this, except for a troubled look on his face, that was all.

For some strange reason, Devon could feel both celestial and cosmic energy present in this auction and were rushing into his body. Like a hungry beast, he greedily absorbed them.

Devon was certain that if he remains in this hall for ten years, he could possess the strength to kill his pathetic father. The energies here are robust and even a million times thicker than even the stone hall in the auction.

Something then attracted Devon, which was the walls of the hall. They were all engraved with different patterns, making the hall enveloped in mysteries, accompanied by the blood and bones everything appeared bizarre.

Devon began walking forward, and he realized that the more he got closer, the blood seemed to be getting thicker while the bones in the area increased over time. This discovery made him more interested in finding out what exactly this hall was.

Ahead of him were four huge pillars, Devon increased his pace till he was standing in front of one of the pillars. Devon could swear that he had seen a pillar similar to this somewhere, but he couldn't remember.

Devon moved away from the pillar and began walking down the hallway. And his effort paid off, seeing an obsidian throne he knew he had arrived at his destination.

A black obsidian throne was on top of several scattered bones. If one stared at the throne close, one would realize that some patterns which were engraved on the walls of the hall were also on the throne.

Apart from that, the throne had a very lethal vibe all around it, and it seemed like both the celestial and cosmic energy in the surroundings were coming out from the throne.

"So we finally meet.." a man appeared on the throne.
