It was at this moment that Ash immediately awakened from his cultivation session to discover that the sleeping man beside him had finally woken up.
Well lets deal with this situation shall we...
---General P.oV ---
Daevion, who was tied up by chains was calmly looking around, surveilling his surroundings. He quickly noticed that first of all, the poison in his body was dispelled, second of all his strength has dropped tremendously, barely reaching the 6th stage of the foundation establishment stage. On the other hand he was currently tied up and couldn't use his strength, and there was a person sitting in front of him who was gathering some form of energy. The guy was obviously not a normal human, but at the same time Daevion couldn't sense any Qi coming from him. "Must be one of the magicians, they don't come around these parts much, but who knows where I am anyways."
Quickly deciding on his next plan of action, Daevion decided that he should try and utilise his energy to break the seal placed on him before his adversary notices that he was awake. Realizing quickly that whatever methods he tried the result was always the same -- failure -- he decided to try and use his sheer physical strength to break the chains surrounding his body.
By this time Ash noticed the sounds coming from his surroundings and opened his eyes. The look on his face was calm, turning his head without rush to look at the man he had 'captured'.
Deciding there was no way out of this currently, Daevion decided to stall and try and find a way out of what seemed like a desperate situation.
One of his cores were destroyed, his strength was greatly reduced and limited, he was poisoned and could feel his life force slowly diminishing, and to top it all off he was even captured and trapped by a weird man whose intentions were unkown.
Wait... he was absolutely certain that he was poisoned, so... how was he still alive, how did the posion suddenly disappear?
Realization dawned at him as he looked at the person in front of him, and in this moment he slowly uttered a question. "Who are you...?" He had determined that since the man had extracted the poison out of his body that his itentions weren't ill at the least.
Ash at this moment looked slightly amused and answered "I'm just an ordinary individual... but isn't the better question, who are you and why are you here?"
~~~~ Ash's PoV ~~~~
Obviously I couldn't tell him that I was the creator of this entire universe, his entire world right? And that I was currently trapped in this body as my main body which was stronger than his wildest dreams was currently stuck in a coma that I couldn't wake up from and that I had to reach the transcendent realm so that I could properly return to my body. He'd just look at me like a crazy person
Back to the main point, I obviously knew who he was, but still hearing things from his point of view will make things much clearer and give me a better idea of what was going on here.
Also judging from the slight shock that flashed through his face previously, I can be almost certain that he realized that I have saved him from the poison that was wrecking his body and potentially saved him from his demise so he should probably have a favorable judgement of me at the least. Which should be enough for him to open up slightly and make what happened previously clearer.
He looked slightly taken aback by what I had just asked and muttered in a low voice "Who am I...?"
'Oh damn... did he get amnesia from bumping his head too hard while landing?' While I had such thoughts the man continued.
"I'm Kant Kennedy, I was part of a merchant group that operated around this area. On our last trip headed to planet Mort, we unfortunately encountered a pirate group that raided our ship. I tried to fight back but with this little cultivation of mine I couldn't defend the ship and-... and they were all slaughtered... I don't know what happened after that I jumped out of the ship to attempt an escape and then everything went dark." As he was speaking his expression morphed several times to show ones of struggle and others of pain and sadness.
'Get this man an Oscar lol... but in all seriousness, what do I do now? Good cop or bad cop?' Looking at his face I could almost feel his sincerity oozing out but obviously all of that was just a bunch of crap.
"And how do you explain how you survived? After all you are only a foundation establishment level cultivator so how did you survive the harsh conditions of outer space? And even more how did you survive the crash landing on this planet? Anyone below the Origin Sea realm shouldn't be able to accomplish these feats don't you think?" I said looking for subtle changes in his expression while poking holes in the story that he made up.
"That - I currently possess the nano-spacesuit generation 2 made by the Black Dwarf civilization, it is understandable that senior doesn't know about this technology, after all it is not from this star sector, the nano-spacesuit takes the form of this earring as you can see."
To confirm his words all I had to do was ask the same system, and the response came swift and detailed as usual
[No, what he said is just a bunch crap in an attempt of deception. But still his earrings are indeed special, together with another similar earring, the pair have a set effect making the user completely immune to the damage from lower staged opponents, currently with only one of the two, the earring has an effect of making him 40% immune to attacks from lower staged individuals like yourself, due to that the effect of the spell is actually weakened and he is pretty close to breaking out of your spell...]
