Worldly Overlord - Chapter 66

An old man appeared in front of Devon, the man was the old boss of the auction that had just vanished without any trace.

Devon stared at the man as he found it hard to understand what was happening at the moment.

“I placed a little of my soul energy inside the book of prophecy a long time ago, just in case something like this happened.”

Devon nodded his head, through his research in the auction library he had come across something like this.

However, it was mostly used by my terrifying powerhouse to pass their inheritance to the next generation. Who knew the boss of the auction was also capable of technique.

“What happened?” Devon asked in a very calm tone.

The old man was about to say something when he noticed the change in Devon. During those months, they spent together, even though Devon was mostly in the stone hall, he was always watching him.

So, he knew, this young man in front of him never displayed any emotion whenever they were together, it was almost as if he was a puppet. Even when he was in pain, his face was always neutral, seemingly unbothered about everything.

Seeing the young man showing some emotion greatly surprised him. “Why can’t I sense its presence in you anymore.”

“It’s gone,” Devon answered, of course, he knew what the man was referring to, and anyway the old man was probably dead already, so there wasn’t really any point in keeping a secret to a dead person.

“Hmm, hmmm, it’s good… However, I don’t have much time left. I must explain something to you.” the old man started making an earnest expression.

Devon listened to the man’s words attentively.

“The moment you arrived in the auction and when we accepted you our fate was revealed by the book of prophecy, and we knew what was coming for us the moment we interfered in your journey to supremacy.”

“The inevitable is the three of us no longer existing. To be honest, we knew what awaited us if we took that part but our existence in the world is for this purpose.”

The old man continued throwing the big words at Devon, who just stood there staring at him. Sometimes it appeared like he understood what the man was saying, and sometimes it was as if the man was wasting his time.

“I know killing Clifford is all you desire right now, truthfully it’s the right to do but you mustn’t lose yourself in the chase for power and forget who you really are.”

Devon sneered…..

“Kid, I must tell you something. Clifford possesses powers that are beyond even my imagination but there’s a way out. To get rid of someone like Clifford, you must cut off all his wings first.”

Devon wasn’t some dummy, he understood what the old man meant by cutting off all his wings. “Which forces in the underground world are under my old man’s control.”

“The big three.” Even the old man frowned as he said those gigantic words.

“Alright then, very soon the big three will cease to exist,” Devon said.

If any being in the underground world manages to find out that Devon was thinking of destroying the big three, he or she would assume he was a mad fellow.

Who were the big three…..

These forces were the mandators of the underground world. In a world so vast with numerous terrifying powerhouses, yet these three forces could suppress all of them and remain undefeated and undisputed in their respective territory.

No other forces in the underground world were capable of such. Be it in resources or anything aspect, none could come close to any of the big three.

The big three presences were like God among other families and organizations in the underground world. Each force possessing several powerhouses that were capable of single-handledly ruling over the world.

They had stood as the leaders of the underground world for more than a million years, and their position had never been shaken. Even, not in the slightest.

The profane palace, the heaven and hell organization, and the house of omega.

If it weren’t for these three forces, the world government organizations would have ripped apart the underground world, even the Demon world wouldn’t let such opportunity go.

As long as those three forces stood, they were no doubt that the underground world would continue to exist, even for a very long time.

Now imagine the stir it would cause when an individual says that the big three will cease to exist very soon. What kind of impact would it cause.

“Uhm, Uhm… Kid, you must be patient.” The man said, seeing how Devon answered him immediately.

“I prepared a gift for you.”

The old man then stretched his hand out, giving Devon a small book. “Here’s a list of forces that Clifford has his finger wrapped around. From the weakest to the strongest.”

Devon took the book from the old man’s hand and scanned throughout it and to his surprise, he found a name that he never thought would appear in the book.

The all heaven alliance….

Devon shook his head, “It seems our reunion is also very soon.” he said in a very low voice.

“However, only two forces out of the big three are involved with Clifford. To be honest, I don’t know which one, so I’m going to leave you to find that out.”

“No one should be able to threaten your life as long as you don’t act drastically. Besides, there’s Teresa and Tessa to support you.” the old man said.

Devon smirked, “Teresa is dead.” he said as if her death didn’t affect him in the slightest.

The old man frowned as Teresa’s death was something he didn’t foresee and even Devon’s attitude did not go unnoticed.

From the man’s expression, one could tell that Teresa held a very high position in his heart. The man sighed, if only he had to peek into the future, then maybe he might have been able to rescue Teresa.

After a while, the old man then broke the silence between them.

“Sigh…Beware of what harbors inside you for it might eventually take everything from you! And remember this those who kill gods cannot remain ordinary.”

“Reflect well upon thy fate as you proceed in life. This were the warning the book of prophecy revealed about your journey ahead.”

Devon smiled, he had some idea of what the book of prophecy was, and thankfully he had gotten rid of one pest. As soon as he finds another way, he would make sure he gets rid of that other pest.

Devon did not believe that the only way to get rid of that person was until he became a god. They had to be another way.

Having someone who could possess one’s body at any given time was very unpleasant.

“Seeing you, I know whoever killed Teresa would definitely pay one way or the other.” the man said as his soul was beginning to fade.

“Good luck kid.”

Devon chuckled, “For a man already dead, I must say you talk a lot.” Devon said, walking out of the room.

“Sigh… We wanted to create someone who would pull the world out of the darkness that is about to befall upon it instead, we created someone who will lead that destruction.” the man sighed deeply once again.

“Thankfully I left something behind.”

In the blink of an eye, his remaining soul energy disappeared.
