In a pyramid-like space floating at the top of Mount Everest, the secluded box room lay on the floor of the pyramid space.
"Uhh, so what exactly are we going to do in China?"
Chris couldn't help but ask this question when he saw the suspicious-looking black coats that Raion handed to him and Nyx.
"Not just China. You will also be going to Nepal, India, Russia, North Korea and South Korea. For you will scout talents to join me on my conquest to conquer every inch of this Omniverse!"
His words were filled with unbridled arrogance and pride, but they still had various thoughts in their heads, such as
'Huh, didn't he say that Chaos and Seruvim already ruled the Omniverse?'
'What is he anyway, isn't he afraid that those two could take offence and make do with him?'
Raion's eyes were sharp, he then spoke under his breath, in such a way that gave Nyx and Chris chills.
"Those thoughts could also easily get you killed,"
He had a smile on his face, but his words unbelievably cold. In order not to stay in the room any longer, they collected the coats and asked Raion had to get down the mountain, his response was simple.
"Chris, you can easily get down, out your new skills to the test and et down, I'll be watching, and also carry Nyx along with you,"
'Lord Raion is testing my obedience, I shall not fail him!'
Raion knew perfectly what they were thinking and watched Chris skillfully jump out of the pyramid space and clinch onto the frosty mountain, although the air pressure at the top of Mount Everest was very high, the two easily withstood the pressure, even the little and fragile Nyx braved the pressure wordlessly.
Raion looked on for a while before closing the door of the room. He was in deep thought at the moment, He walked over to the end of the room, just where the wall cages were and snapped his fingers. Several mounds of flesh flowed out of the cages and formed a massive throne.
Raion caressed the throne a little and sat on it, cross-legged, and his right arm under his chin, holding his body up.
Raion snapped his fingers again, and ten screens of light appeared in front of him, he looked at one and begun to observe different things entirely.
...
It was a large prison, but unlike prisons that held numerous convicts, this prison only held one prisoner, why? Because the other convicts would die if they got to close with this particular person!
This place was located in a barren region of China.
Raion was like a spirit or Jinn, eavesdropping on the things of the mortal world.
"That guy had another tantrum yesterday,"
"Mhmm, I heard it's become more frequent,"
"Yes, nowadays he just starts punching walls, as though he wants something from the outside!"
"Right, he's crazy though, he will never get out, those walls are made of tungsten and are laced with a large amount of diamond!"
"Hehe, you're new here aren't you?"
"Yes,"
"Then you must not have heard, the fellow is crazy, and these I'm about to tell you aren't baseless rumours made up by the guards at this facility. The fellow in the cell once pulverized a few trucks that were closely joined together. That is even quite little, did you know he has escaped this facility before and it only took the help of many special-ops forces to demobilize him!"
"What! How is that possible?"
"Hehe, not many people know but the fellow was born with extraordinary divine strength and he is even an accomplished practitioner of various styles of Kung Fu and an extreme practitioner of Qigong, he is an utterly monstrous person. Most likely the only reason he hasn't broken down the walls is that he is polishing his skills,"
Using the amazing ability of his, although they were speaking perfect mandarin he could understand them perfectly.
"Hmm, this fellow, I would like to meet him. Oh yes, I never got his name,"
As soon as he realized that fact, Raion stopped overthinking and drove the screen forward to reach the cell of the fellow who they just talked about.
Under a wall near the cell, a wooden plaque lay there, engraved onto the plaque was the name Banzan.
"Oh, a Buddhist name?"
Upon seeing the name, Raion dispelled the screen and silently formulated a plan as he sat on the throne.
Meanwhile, Nyx and Chris had split up and were currently scouring the whole of China for talents, they had found quite a few already, but still felt that those talents were mediocre and would not help Raion in any way so they didn't report their existences until they found more satisfactory targets.
Nyx staked out in an alley with the weird cat and just happened to see someone that could catch Raion's interest. A Chinese woman wearing a white fox face mask and a Chang'ao, the mask had numerous markings.
More importantly, the woman leapt from the roofs of building to building.
"Is she a Meditator or an Inheritor?"
Nyx questioned herself before observing the strangely dressed woman again.
"No, that is sheer agility and force she's using to that, an overwhelming life aura is being emitted from her body, she should be a practitioner of martial arts!"
After coming to a conclusion, Nyx gently stroked the fur of the black cat with a hand coated in dark energy particles.
"Hehe, Evil hand!"
As she yelled this, the black cat grew as large as a horse and Nyx mounted it after a struggle.
"Nightshade go!"
Nyx did not know where the name came from, but she liked it and she could tell that the cat liked it too.
Obeying her commands, the cat shot forward, following after the woman in the mask. Nightshade had staggering speed, the wind played around its body as it raced under the cover of the night.
(1) Banzan is a Buddhist name that means Indestructible Mountain
(2) Chang'ao is a type of formal clothing worn by Chinese women a long time ago.
