Chapter 183 - She Is My Bargaining Chip
The fact that this world stubbornly refused to choose one of them as its new owner was starting to seriously piss her off.
Plus this Warrior Spirit was much more talented than she had assumed at first, he had already managed to slip through her fingers for 5 years and now that she thought she had put a leash on him, it was proving to be just as difficult to maneuver.
Cassandra was tapping on the table in front of her when she heard a laugh coming from the doorway.
Mykael was leaning against it and he asked her in a mocking tone : "So your little protégé doesn\'t follow the road you had traced for him and that annoys you.
You should have known that a Warrior Spirit was a person that you could not control, after all they are beings apart."
Cassandra then asked him unfazed, ignoring his moking tone : "I can understand why you wanted to place a phoenix as a bodyguard for your son but why did you provide such a powerful divine artifact to the Warrior Spirit ?"
Mykael looked at her seriously with all traces of a smile wiped from his face and he said to her : "This Warrior Spirit is my son\'s mate, they are now married and even you can\'t do anything about it.
I want you to know that I consider him my own son and that I will not let you hinder him any longer, this divine artifact, when he will be ready, will allow him to break the bond between you and him.
I will follow the rules that the both of you have established and I will not tell him about the two of you and your machiavellian plans for this world, but nothing prevents me from giving him the weapons he needs to fight.
By the way, it was very subtle of you to block his Warrior Spirit skill at level 1 with this system, I almost missed it.
But you still have a lot to learn about Warrior Spirits, they are capable of doing things that you can\'t imagine so don\'t try to do something stupid or you\'ll regret it."
Cassandra looked at him with eyes as cold as ice and she said in a detached tone : "I guess you didn\'t just come to mock me and warn me, so what do you want ?"
Mykael then stepped forward letting out some of his power to prove to her that he wasn\'t kidding and he asked her in a threatening tone : "Where is the mother of my son, she is not in this world so where is she ? What have you done with her and how did you get her to carry my child ?"
Cassandra then stood up and let out some of her power as well to answer his challenge, and as soon as she stood up she was surrounded by a dozen of her personal guards.
Mykael snorted with disdain not the least affected by her pseudo bodyguards, and she then answered him : "I will start by answering your second question.
There is an extremely rare potion which, if taken at the right time, can make a sexual exchange between a God and a legendary creature fertile.
If you want to know more about it, you\'ll have to ask Esme, the Goddess of Love."
Mykael nodded, he had just obtained two important pieces of information, that the Gods could indeed have children and that Axel\'s mother was a legendary creature.
He then asked her : "Where is she ?"
Cassandra chuckled and said to him : "You really think I\'m going to tell you, if things go wrong, she is my bargaining chip.
Come on Mykael you\'re smarter than that, but since you\'re going to help me win this war I\'ll tell you something about her anyway.
She was the only heir of her people and she was in desperate need of help for her people to survive, so we made a deal together.
She had to seduce you and become pregnant, and she had to abandon her child in this world so that he could serve my personal purpose.
Once her mission was accomplished I took her back to her people and eliminated their threat, she found her mate and they had two sons and a daughter together.
She doesn\'t care about your son, it was just a way to save her people, so stop looking for her it\'s completely unnecessary."
Mykael\'s eyes turned crimson red and an aura of the same color formed all around him, this totally unexpected transformation caught Cassandra and her personal guards completely off guard.
A shockwave sent them all flying across the room and the less fortunate among them were crushed against the walls.
Even Cassandra didn\'t have time to protect herself and she was propelled across the room like the others.
When she looked around, all of her personal guards had already passed out and she was struggling to get up under the pressure Mykael was emanting.
How could this be, she thought, Mykael was a much younger God than them, he should not have been able to use such power.
Mykael then approached his aura continuing to exert a pressure which made Cassandra completely powerless to defend herself and he seized her hair so that she could look him in the eye.
Cassandra couldn\'t stop a shiver of pure terror from running down her spine as she looked into his angry crimson red eyes as he looked at her, so she said to remind him : "It\'s no use, you know you can\'t kill me in this plane of existence, the Gods here are immortal."
Mykael sneered and said to her : "It is true that I cannot kill you, but I can give you a glimpse of what will happen to you if you dare to venture outside your palace."
Without further ado, Mykael broke her neck and looked at the lifeless body of this Goddess who had deprived his son of his mother and wanted to use him as a pawn.
Cassandra would only take a few hours to recover so he was going to leave her a little souvenir so she would understand that he was not kidding.
He whistled and his own men immediately appeared at his side, he told them before turning on his heels and walking out of here : "I know you heard what she did, so I leave it to you to clear my honor, make sure that when she wakes up she has nightmares for the rest of her life, make her regret that she wanted to take advantage of me and my son."
And after only a few steps out of this room, Mykael heard the muffled moans of the guards his men were slaughtering, a creepy smile appeared on his face and he knew that after that Cassandra would be quiet.
