A burly man in his late 40s stood at the gate of Blake's house. He wore a dark blue coat over a black T and paired it with soot colored trousers and boots. His semi mysterious self left Blake speechless...speechless at how nobody seems to notice that this man was not solid. I mean, the moonlight seems to just curve around his entire being. The man had a literal gravitational field around him that was bending and reflecting light and other elements outwards. Both of this man's hands were shoved into his pockets. He seemed harmless...on the outside that is.
After a split second of locking eyes with the man, Blake couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Pft!!!!! Even after becoming a Void King, your sense of fashion still sucks, Osoroshi Horu!!! Hahahahahaha!!! Who wears an entire set of dark colored clothes in the middle of summer?!?!"
"Ah I see, even after reincarnating and getting uglier, your arrogance only seems to grow." Horu remarked. "Look, Executioner, I didn't just leave my Void plane to come here and get laughed at by you...alright? Also, you're the first and only one that dares to point and laugh at my newest void armor design. No one back at the 1008 Void planes dared utter a single comment about this design, I'm human too!!!! They could at least give me some comments, rude ones are accepted as well!!! It's not like I was going to destroy their plane if I didn't like their comment..."
The burly looking man standing in front of Blake was Void King Horu, a human who had cultivated to the pinnacle of the Abyssal Plane and became the plane's ruler 3 thousand years ago. He was the only human who had managed to survive the trials and tribulations set and given by the previous plane's ruler. After becoming the Abyssal Plane Ruler, Horu was then further elected to become a Void King and joined forces with the other 1007 planes. He was also a close friend of Blake's back then.
"So, what's up?" [Blake]
"Whoa, nice house you have here..." Horu marveled.
"No seriously, what's up??" [Blake]
"Why do you have so many empty rooms?? Your bedroom design is so stale, and I have bad taste??" Horu ignored Blake and continued to check out his house.
The more Horu ignored Blake, the more annoyed Blake got. This went on until Horu had toured and inspected every corner of Blake's house. By then, Blake was all ready to just strangle Horu to death. Then again, Blake was a bit too weak currently to even tickle Horu.
Yeah, so if you saw Blake massacre a group of Gold Cores himself at his current Soldier realm....Then you could probably gauge just how powerful Void King Horu really is...Horu has the literal strength to rip a plane out of existence...He's not some soft persimmon to be messed with.
"All right! I'm beat! Hey, do you have any drinks?? Preferably tequila mixed with Mystic Space Dew....That would be great!!" Horu carried on without a care in the world.
'That's it.' Blake snapped.
Blake first slams two cups of cola onto the coffee table, shattering the glass cover into a reusable puzzle set. He then proceeds to give Horu a [The Eye of Petrification] to petrify his body so that Horu would stop wandering around.
"Alright Horu, what the fuck do you want? What the fuck does the 1008 Ancestral Void Council want?? Oh, and I know you're only allowed to be here because of the council's orders. Now, you're gonna sit down and tell me what da fuck is your damn purpose coming to this abandoned tier lower mortal realm! Within the time to finish your drink and in full detail!! Now, speak!!!"
Horu was caught quite off guard by Blake's sudden blow up at first, but then he calmed down. In fact, he was not offended at all. Why do you ask? Because it was he who had forgotten about Blake's impatient temperament. It was also his fault for teasing Blake previously. "Maybe I'm getting in on my age..." Horu thought to himself as he broke himself free from the petrification spell. "Alright Blake, here's the deal...I'm supposed to...Under orders of....You happy now???"
"Hold up, can you say that again? Without the bleeps and censorship??" Blake had heard more "Bleeps" in Horu's explanation than his
"Haiz, fine...I said my purpose for coming here was *BLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!* Are you happy now?!" Horu repeated. "Also, what did you mean 'without censorship' ??"
Blake was speechless at that point. Either it was his ears playing tricks on him or that Horu was trolling him by censoring all of the most vital information...If it truly was Horu pranking him, Blake also can't do anything to him anyways because of his weak ass cultivation.
"Do you understand??" asked Horu. Blake could only nod. "Good! Now, which one will be my room? And what language does this world use?? A single language...Or...multiple languages??? Come on, out with the answers because time's ticking..."
After settling Horu down, Blake went back to his room to cultivate. The peaceful and tranquil environment he had liked so much about was now gone thanks to a new resident's presence.
Haiz...There goes my peace.....Hold on a second, since Horu had come from the Abyssal Realm, would there be a chance that he had brought along some Realm grade relics?? Hmm...Imma go ask him.
Blake then got up and walked towards Horu's room downstairs.
'If I can get my hands on some Realm grade Relics or artifacts, I might be able to increase my cultivation by absorbing their realm's essence energy...God arts? I probably wouldn't need them since I'm not a Magic nor Martial God yet...Of course, I still have to confirm whether Horu is willing to part with the relics or artifacts first...' After thinking about it for a while, Blake decided that it was best that he grabs this chance now since he really wanted to improve his strength quickly.
Standing in front of Horu's door, 'Alright, here goes nothing!' Blake took a deep breath first before he turned the doorknob and went in. "Hey, Horu...!"
