Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Chapter 69 - Imminent Threat



"No, no. What do you mean by good luck? Where in the hell will I find a god? Even the gates of heavens are closed."

[What if I tell you there is a god here. Nya~]

"Oh?" Nero\'s interest piqued. "It must be some weak-ass god since I can\'t sense any divine powers.]

[Not a god, but a fallen god.]

Nero furrowed his brows and asked, "Where can I—"

[Nya~]

"Would you stop this \'Niya Niya\' of yours?! It\'s seriously annoying!"

[You just said it too. And It\'s \'Nya~\' not \'Niya\'.]

"I don\'t—"

[Nya~]

Nero took a deep breath in anger and glared at the cat, "I swear, one day I will find your real body and kill you in the most brutal way possible."

[Nya~ Is this what you should say to your benefactor, Nya~?]

"You are no benefactor of mine. You are just an annoying pest who I want to get rid of."

The cat stared at Nero for a while, then turned around, [Well, whatever. Good luck finding me. Nya~]

"Hmm?" Nero smirked. "Are you finally scared of me?"

[I wish. You are no threat to me since you will never find me. Nya~]

Suddenly, Nero placed his hand on his chin— as though he was thinking something serious, then looked at the cat, "Just curious, but are you a catgirl?"

[What a pervert.] The cat wagged its tail and turned back to Nero, [My voice here is genderless, so you can\'t tell what sex I belong by my voice. So stop having dirty fantasies of me. Nya~]

"Whatever," Nero rolled his eyes and frowned his brows. "Now tell me about that fallen god, and where can I find it?"

[Head to the east, and you will find him.]

Nero smiled wryly and tittered, "You really know everything, don\'t you?"

[...]

"If you tell me where I can find Elvia and Zelda, and my swords and cores, then I will do anything you want," Nero requested sincerely.

[I don\'t know anything or everything, I just know what I know; nothing more, nothing less.]

"You always say that," Nero sighed.

After a brief silence, the cat rolled on the white floor and said, [I will make a separate universal guild card for you. It might be useful to you.]

"...."

[Nya~]

"Just who are you?"

[I am just a cat. Nya~]

Nero let out a weary sigh while squatting as if there was a chair— and a throne appeared before Nero could sit on it. He leaned back on the throne and rested his hand on the hand rest.

"The world has changed so much, and I recently found out that eons have passed."

[Indeed. It\'s been a really, really long time. Nya~]

"Can you tell me things I should know? Sophi gathered some information, but I think most of them are lies."

[You don\'t believe your friend, Nya~?]

"I trust her more than me. But you of all people... cats..." Nero snickered. "You should know about how histories work. They forge it or change it by the time it becomes history. So I wouldn\'t blame Sophi for anything."

[Then why did you believe her when she said eons have passed, Nya~?]

"You can lie about history but can\'t lie about the time." He exhaled sharply and continued, "Or should I say, reality never lies?"

[Many strong beings have come after you were sealed. Nya~]

"Stronger than me?" Nero asked curiously.

[Many had come from your previous world too; Some were reincarnated here, and others were transported, while some were summoned. Nya~]

"Has anyone stronger than me had ever existed?"

[It\'s not \'had\', it\'s \'have\'. Nya~]

Nero\'s eyes widened in surprise, "There is someone stronger than me?"

[Many had come, and many had gone. But there is one existence that is an imminent threat to you. Nya~]

"Is it a he or a she?"

[It\'s a he, and he is a lot stronger than you. Even if you have all your cores and swords, he is stronger than you. Nya~]

"What if I release my demon core?" Nero raised his brows.

[His power is ominous, forbidding, and it defies everything— even the rules and laws of realms. Nya~]

Nero frowned his face and asked with a serious look on his face, "Is he truly stronger than me?"

[Indeed. You can\'t match him. Nya~]

Nero\'s face frowned even more, "If he and I fought, who would win and who would lose?"

After a brief silence, the cat uttered, "You would win, obviously. Nya~"

Nero smirked and got up from the throne, "That\'s what I like to hear."

[Zeus, no one can win a fight against you in the battle since you have mastered the ultimate Dao of the battlefield. The outcome of the battle or war would be already decided once you step foot on the battlefield. Nya~]

"I will believe it only when I kill all the gods and make a throne out of their bodies. Then watch the world burn while sitting atop of it," Nero declared nonchalantly.

"Alright," Nero clapped and nodded, "Open the way; Emilia and Sophi must be waiting for me."

[Not even one second has passed there. Nya~]

"Don\'t underestimate them. They can\'t live even a second without me," Nero said with a short scoff.

[Nya~ Don\'t trouble them too much. Nya~]

A black crack appeared in front of Nero, and it widened as time passed. Nero was about to enter the crack but stopped.

[What\'s wrong, Nya?]

Nero scratched his cheek and averted his gaze from the cat, "Actually, neither Emilia nor Sophi and I have any money. Can you give me some?"

[You can earn money, though. Nya~]

"There is no way I am doing those stupid quests. I have far more important things to do," Nero refuted.

[I wasn\'t talking about quests, Nya~. I was talking about crystals.]

"What do you mean?" Nero asked with a puzzled yet calm look on his face.

[The crystals, Nya~. They are precious in the current era, Nya~. If you sell them, then you can make a fortune out of them. Nya~]

"Now that\'s what I call good news," Nero smirked inwardly and entered the crack.

Half a second later, Nero peeked from the crack and looked at the cat.

[What now, Nya~?]

"I forgot to ask the name of that so-called \'strong\' man you talked about."

[You don\'t have to worry about him, Nya~. You are never going to cross paths as long as the time is flowing. Nya~]

"Just tell me the name so I can have a heads-up," Nero demanded.

After a brief silence, the cat uttered, "His name is Chronos. And you are destined to die by his hands."

"We will see about that." Nero waved his hand and left the white realm.

The cat watched as the crack closed, and muttered in a girly voice, "See you soon.... father."
