" Explain!"
Marina sighed again and then started to explain again.
" Well, this is the thing. The Supreme Overlord System is a system which is functioning using Universal Energy. As you know, Universal Energy is not something that can be obtained easily. The entire universe runs because of this power. And it is not regenerative. Nothing in the universe can produce that energy. Since the beginning of the universe, there has been the same amount of Universal Energy until now. The reason for this is, the balance. To keep all the things in the universe, this is essential.
And talking about your system, it is not a system that functions automatically without the need for any source of energy as you have seen in so many stories. Nothing in this world can function without a supply of enough specific energy. This is the reality. To keep the system running and to keep your skills and divinities together the system needs Universal Energy."
" To keep my skills and divinities together?"
" Yeah, since you have chosen to be a villain, from the moment you chose to be a villain, you have already become an anomaly who breaks the balance. And I have to say, no one can cultivate different divinities at the same time, like you. It's because keeping the balance between various divinities is a snowball's chance in Hell! Some believe that it's impossible! But you with the help of the system are having 4 types of divinities and various skills; you obtained from hooking up with women. So, it is not a surprise to know that the system has used almost never-ending amounts of Universal Energy which was stored earlier in the system."
" So, if I had been selected to be a hero, you are saying that it would have been impossible for the system to run low energy?"
" Of course, yes! No one had experienced this situation before! I guess, even the higher beings haven't."
" Hmm, so that's it? Now tell me what's with that plug point-plug thing?"
" Well, it's like this. Universal Energy can't be stored in non-living things. It can only be accumulated in living bodies such as humans and animals. So, as you know I have become your second wife for eternity and that makes me a power source accumulator for the battery of your skills. So, via penetrating activities, you can suck power from me. If only you didn't have that power suction and cultivation devourer skills by default, it could have been another way to suck power from me. Haah, shit! This is Karma."
" So what's the connection between that and you being wet?"
" Bastard, you think any woman can bear some strange comforting energy accumulating inside her vagina?"
" Can this energy make you horny?"
" Yeah, to some extent I will be able to control the urge to have sex with you, but there will be a tipping point that over that point I will definitely go crazy!"
" That's nice to hear!"
" Motherfucker! You think you can escape from that? The more you have sex with me, the more you will get addicted to it! You can't escape from my grasp then!"
" But you also will get addicted, right?"
" That doesn't matter! As long as you need me badly, it's my win!"
" Oh, so possessive!"
" Huh? Who is being possessive? What are you saying?" Marina asked shyly with a faint blush on her face.
" Well, now it isn't the time to argue. I have to think of a way to escape."
" Yeah, now that's a problem."
" I can just teleport to my courtyard, but I think it won't work."
" Why?"
" I don't think my disguise is working for him. He is already aware of my real identity and also the Emperor. I assume he decided to take this opportunity to imprison the queen."
" How do you know?"
" It's because, if I was in his shoes, I also would take this chance. Speaking of my act, I never thought I had been so good at that!"
" Huh? You never knew? From the beginning you acted well, and sometimes even I almost believed what you were saying!"
Karl decided not to reply to her statement, since he was sure, he had never acted like now, before in front of anyone. He was an innocent boy, who was true to his heart, you know!
Karl began to observe the surroundings for a possible chance to escape, only to find out that there was no other way than his final card. The Imperial guards had locked the doors and had banned anyone from leaving the pedestal arena.
He called Rowanna via telepathy. In a moment she appeared by his side wearing a black mask covering her face and she was completely in a black robe which had ash colour embroideries which were unique for the Eclipse League. Of course, even though he had underestimated the queen's capability a little, he never underestimated her too much. So, earlier before the execution of his plan, Karl had made a uniform which was identical for the Eclipse League, assassination organisation.
This was necessary for him to make plans and understand about the assassination organisation which he was hoping to take over. Establishing such an organisation was the current main objective in the system.
Now, you may think,he could just create one with the women he has, by now. Karl also had the same thought earlier only to be disappointed by Marina's opinion on his attempt.
" Are you kidding me? You are trying to change their cultivation techniques into assassination techniques? That would be equal to a suicide attempt! Assassination techniques can't be cultivated just because someone wants to do so! A cultivator who is going to be an assassin should be trained from his or her birth! They have to endure extreme pain and it requires the person who is trying to be an assassin to be able to survive under extremely harsh conditions and to have hard practices!"
So, he just decided to snatch somebody else's. It was simple like that for Karl!
" Master!" Rowanna whispered.
The plan was ready, but still there was a problem. Although, outwardly the fake uniform that Karl created was exactly like a true one, there was one frustrating complication in it. It was the Mark of the Assassins.
The Mark of the Assassins was a special spiritual mark which could only be made by a cultivator who practised assassination techniques. It was a mark, which could even be felt by the non-cultivators. Any person in this world could feel and find out if a person is an assassin or not. This mark couldn't be hidden by the will of the assassin or with the help of any external object including divine-level artefacts. Since Karl's powers did not have any connectivity with the energy of assassins, he couldn't make a fake mark embedded in the robe.
Karl called forth the power of his divinity of Magic and at the same time he used his skill of bewitching. The reason for him using both these powers at the same time was just to amplify the effect of the Bewitching skill. Earlier, using only the skill of bewitching he could only bewitch 40 people for 15 minutes. But with the amplification of magic he could control up to 500 people at the same time, without the limitation of cultivation level gaps.
Instantly Karl casted all the power he could gather along with the skill. Suddenly all movements of the people who were present at the moment stopped. After a gap of few seconds all their heads, including the First Elder's, turned towards the direction of Rowanna.
" You know what to do, right?"
Rowanna nodded and in an instant she placed a short knife which was often used by the Eclipse League members, on the neck of Karl.
" Look! There's one from the Eclipse League! Catch her!"
One shouted.
" Guards, capture her alive! We need her to find the whereabouts of their leader!" First elder also roared!
Without any delay twelve guards, who were at the Lotus Condensation Realm, shot towards them at lightning speed. But before they could reach them, Rowanna grabbed her master like a sack of potatoes and disappeared in a green fog.
" Find her! We can't lose the witness, either!"
" Hey! You can't carry me like this!" Karl yelled.
Rowanna stopped in the mid sky and released him from her shoulder.
" Master, I'm sorry! I don't know how to carry you! Tell me, in what position do you like to be carried? You like to be carried like a baby, a lover or what? Please tell me."
" No need, we are already at the barrier."
" Ah shit! I should have run away slowly. If I did that, I could touch his body! Why didn't I remember that?" Anyone could see how she drooled at the imagination of her carrying her master.
Karl facepalmed.
" Woman, come to your senses!"
" Huh?" She looked at him as if he had just landed there from outer space.
Shaking his head, Karl returned his attention to the barrier.
