The search started. It was quite a long one to be honest. Last time I headed out of the mansion, I had specific locations to go to. However, this time I only have the general direction.
It could have also been a boring journey if I did not have Zi with me. As much as I hate to admit it, Pangu can be missed; well, partially missed. There is also the presence of that particular person that I don't want to talk about now.
It took about a whole month to lower the search to two precise areas in my country of birth. One was in the utmost north, and the other was in the utmost south.
We went to the one in the south first. I looked at the village from the top of a mountain amd said, "Well this sure brings a lot of memories..."
"You have been to this place before, Boss?" Zi asked.
"Yep, I am from this village!"
"Woah! So cool! Will you show me where you used to play when you were a kid?"
"Hahaha, yeah of course I will, little buddy," I replied, but immediately frowned and continued, "however, we will have to take care of our unwanted visitor..."
I turned my body backwards to see a big, cloaked man, standing there like a statue. Only the long red beard could be seen from his face.
"Thor!" I exclaimed, "What an unpleasant surprise! To what do I owe this displeasure?"
"Ice Lord!" Thor replied. "I have orders from Odin the Allfather. You are to abandon your search for the Underworld . The only realm of the dead is Helheim, so if you want to reincarnate someone, you have to do it there!"
"Funny, because I recall that Helheim doesn't reincarnate people."
"True, it doesn't. But the Allfather is willing to do an exception for you."
"And what does he want in return?"
"Forsake your loyalty to the Mansion of Night and bow in front of the Allfather and become his eternal slave. When you do that, he will grant your wish."
"Do you know what's funny? I'm not sure which one is more hilarious than the other. The fact that Odin has the audacity to give me orders, or that he wants me to pledge loyalty to a second rate ruler and forsake the top tier organization.
"Nope, thanks for the offer, but no. Go tell your father to bugger off and know his place!"
I turned around and started walking down the mountain when Thor casted his cloak aside and took the hammer that was hidden beneath it.
"I wasn't giving you an option. They were orders!" Thor shouted.
I stopped walking and said without turning back, "You might want to think about it, Thor, I am not exactly in a good mood lately. So, get lost. This is your first and last warning."
Thor remained unmoved. I sighed and said, "I guess that's a no. Fine! Remember that this is your own choice, don't regret it later, because it will be too late for that!"
I took off my black robe then said, "Human-Dragon form, transform!"
Immediately, my skin turned to light blue scales and three horns sprouted out of my head. A tail also sprouted out of my lower back, covered in spike, along with two wings.
The same thing happened on both my elbows and calves.
Then, the color of the scales turned back into the normal skin color. My eyes were pure white without a pupil.
I would've transformed into Pangu but he is still sleeping. The same thing goes for the sword. If the spirit isn't awake, the weapon won't function well.
I extended my hand and waited. Instantly, wind started gathering in my hand, forming the shape of a sword, with the right weight and length.
I looked at Thor and said, "This is the most powerful state I could be in. As for the Blood World, it would be a waste of condensed anger to use it on you. So, Thor, are you ready?"
