Chapter 410 Truth Beneath the Lies Part 5
'That's impressive,'
He found her unique ability fascinating.
A different type of domain that even the system couldn't analyze and copy was pretty rare.
If he was being honest, the number of times he had used a domain could be counted on one hand.
It wasn't because he thought it was weak. The real issue was that it was far too flashy.
While it did give him an advantage, it created a noticeable black dome that everyone outside could see.
Even if he could shrink it, the negative energy it released was overwhelming and would leave obvious traces.
However—
If he could somehow imitate her powers, it would give him more flexibility in his fighting style.
It was no exaggeration to say that her value in his eyes was as high as that of meta-humans.
'Can I get her power if I eat her?'
He narrowed his eyes, studying her from head to toe. She sat on the bed, trying to appear normal, but he could sense that something was off.
She must have burned through a lot of energy fighting him earlier.
Even though he hadn't hit her directly, his observation told him that every attack within her domain affected her.
It was one of her weaknesses—a trade-off for her unique power.
[System: Host, the system advise against eating her. She's an unknown entity, and there may be side effects.]
'This is serious, even the system is warning me,'
But he didn't really need her anymore. Making her a servant was also not an option because he could not control her like Aiku.
Plus, now that she'd let her guard down, it was the perfect moment to kill her.
There was a bit of a downside.
If he killed her now, all his efforts would be wasted, and he'd have to start the search for someone else from the East all over again.
Still, the thought of absorbing her power was very tempting.
He paused for a moment, weighing the two options.
Killing her would be simple, clean.
It would remove the threat she posed and spare him any potential future complications.
She had been observing him silently and didn't like the way he was looking at her.
It felt as if he was planning something evil.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about things. So, you wanted to know where your mother is, right?" he casually responded, making sure to emphasize her greatest weakness.
Aika's face lit up .
Her longing to be with her mother was so intense that she had begun to act carelessly.
'What a naive idiot. You were so much smarter before you learned about Aiku,' he thought, feeling disappointed that she was so easily manipulated.
Her emotions had made her weak.
'I knew it—emotions are useless,' he sighed, more to himself than to her, recalling how he had also acted foolishly because of his own feelings.
"Where is she?" Aika's voice pulled him from his thoughts.
"Your mother is safe," he said with a reassuring tone, though his words were far from the truth. "She's hiding in Green Valley City."
Her eyes widened with relief and joy. Her exhaustion momentarily fade as hope filled her.
"Where exactly? Please, tell me!"
"Don't worry, I'll take you to her after we reach the city. I can't share the details just yet because we're planning something big."
She was momentarily shocked by his declaration.
"I see," she said softly, "so she wanted to take revenge too."
Reign seized the moment and said, "That's right. It's a plan we're working on. Don't worry—she has powerful allies, like me. With you joining, it will be even easier."
"Thank you," Aika instinctively bowed her head out of habit.
She let her guard down, trusting his words, and didn't notice him getting closer until it was too late.
Before she could look up, his hand came down hard on her head.
"Ji!" she tried to activate her power, but he was faster.
Without hesitation, he sent a powerful surge of divine energy directly into her head.
"AHHHHHH!" she screamed in agony.
Her eyes went wide with pain. She tried to use her own energy to fight back, but it only made things worse.
She struggled and cried out, but he didn't let up.
He kept pouring in the divine energy, showing no mercy.
