Chapter 24 - The Mastermind?

Sitting on his bone throne, the dark-clothed being was listening to Appep's report which didn't give him any happiness but he still kept his calm.

"... he's likely to go back to the academy after some time and the reason is to enjoy his youth life" Appep concluded.Β 

"Okay. Oh? So this witch has just come and she seems to only have come with her daughters? Anyway how are the plans going with getting that little phoenix" the man asked, his senses had picked up someone who had just arrived, The Witch!

"We're still moving slowly my Lord as you had said but it will be successful my lord," Appep replied with respect.

"We're about to start the meeting in a day or two so prepare everything as we finish with the Phoenix princess," the lord said and Appep went. Leaning in his throne with a palm supporting his chin he was looking in the air with his expressions changing over and over.

He was talking with someone else in his mind;

'It seems like it won't be as easy as we had thought mistress, he has become an Immortal God and with his talent, likely, he can even go toe to toe with Gods'

{I don't care what has become, I gave you a simple mission that you had to finish all this world would have become yours to play as you see fit, and now you're telling this shit? Do you know the consequences of disappointing me?} An angry woman's voice spoke directly in his mind, even his very soul was shocked by just her angry voice he didn't want to imagine what would happen if she acted directly on him.

'Am sorry Mistress but by the time we started our plans he was cultivating and we couldn't go and capture him since he was being guarded directly by his mother a Half Primordial, now she has become a full primordial' the man tried to defend himself.

{I don't care about wh--} she suddenly stopped amidst her sentence.

{THIS..??} She suddenly said loud with fear, happiness, and anxiety in her voice { Did you say she became primordial?} she asked.

'Yes! In a few days a powerful aura swept the whole of this world after her ascension to the primordial realm!' he answered.

{Hahahaha fools, stop whatever plans you have for him. A primordial insect can't give off such a powerful aura that could even reach where I am in a month much fewer days!} The woman said. {Young boy prepare everything I would need am descending now to that world} she said,

According to the way she was talking, the man felt like this woman had fear for the primordial boy but it wasn't in his place to ask his superior.

Sitting, obscured with mist of no colour in particular a woman's silhouette could be seen. She seemed in deep thought before looking forward as if looking at something or someone.

"What are you doing here H@#$&, who gave you permission to come to my realm," she asked but looking to where she was looking, there was nothing really to be seen, and the name of the person she was angry at was couldn't be understood.

"Hahaha you're the same as always N@#$, but I like your hot-blooded behaviors they make me fall for you deeper" The voice sounded in the unclear room. It has a male voice.

"Don't flirt with me, tell me why are you here" she said in a cold unwelcoming voice.

"Okay okay, you don't have to be so cold to me. Anyway one of my subordinates reported to me the aura that swept through the whole world and it even reached my realm. And I know you have felt too we all know who it belongs to, so-"

"Don't tell me your shit, last time you started a war with him in the name of him going against the heavens fooling those primordial pests yet in actual sense you just wanted to fight 'our brother' due to jealousy. He didn't even try to oppose your claims as he didn't want our real existence to be known to the whole world." she said with anger and she stood from her seat.

"Yes but-" he didn't finish his words again

"What did you do? You went to his realm and attacked him directly even trying to use underhanded tricks on his women, he was the most peaceful of us all but you were jealous of him you would never live peacefully without intruding" The time she was yelling at him "He never went all out even during those years when you fought, never came to me to ask for help even though he didn't need to.

"He sacrificed himself with his women to let you think you won and to let us stay a secret from the world but even in his return you want to repeat the same thing. Who do you think you're trash? You think this time he will let you off like the other time, I dare you to try it asshole" she finished.

"I hate it when people yell at me, you know," he said softly but one would feel he was angry after all the scolding she did.

"And what can you do about it you trash?" she provoked him as she advanced on him.

"All this time I have been preparing for his return I have gathered enough for the two of you just wait and you shall at the end fall," he said with confidence.

"I will be waiting, to see what you got brother, now GET OUT" she yelled as she waved her hand before sitting back." I think I should ascend to that world," she said before disappearing from where she was.

In a hall full of light that could even blind a normal primordial cultivator, a man from before wearing all golden robes was kneeling towards a silhouette giving off different lights brilliance.

"So how is the Angle god's and that reincarnated human's progress," the same voice similar to the one who was talking to the woman asked the man kneeling towards him.

"Master everything is going well, the former is at Five Star god realm, and the latter is a One Star god, I have also put several geniuses with their fate being subordinates of those two" he answered.

"Mhmm, you did well would that be enough challenge for that abomination buying more time for you to prepare to take him down when he ascends...?" the man said.

"Yes master, it's enough time, and as a master of the primordial realms it will be enough time to take him down even without disturbing your peaceful life like you had to do last time," the Primordial ruler said with confidence.

"Okay you may go now," he said and the golden-clothed man disappeared.

"Haha, am also using you to buy time while I try to convince 'them' to help me when I fight him once again," he said with a smile.

"You don't need to convince us, we're here to help you as long as you have what it costs" he turned to the side and saw them standing there!
