Chapter 531 Surprise
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Though the details of how Ophis recovered her full strength were skipped, it still took some time to explain clearly.
Vali did not care about the details of Aki and Ophis cultivating together. But after hearing it, he was still somewhat stunned. He also had some disbelief.
His disbelief had two points.
One: in less than a week, Ophis had actually recovered her full strength. If she went to reclaim her lost power now, her strength would double directly.
Two: from Aki’s words, it was revealed that Aki himself was already at the Dragon God level.
Vali had always treated Aki as his destined rival. From having the upper hand in their first meeting, to desperately chasing after him later, he had never stopped.
But now hearing that Aki was already at the Dragon God level was still hard for him to accept.
If this was true, he probably had no hope of defeating Aki in this lifetime.
Whether Vali believed or not, Aki did not care. After finishing, he planned to leave with Ophis.
But how could the Vali Team just let their leader be taken away by Aki? Under the forceful retention of several members, Ophis could only say: “I have no intention of reclaiming that power for now. Even if Cao Cao uses it to recreate a consciousness, it is no threat to me whatsoever.”
”What do you mean?”
”It means I can reabsorb that power whenever I want. Even if another consciousness was born within it, it would be the same.”
After learning of the future fate from Aki, Ophis had completely lost any desire to reclaim her power.
If Lilith was born successfully, then she could be fully liberated. The fate that bound her to this world would be replaced by Lilith.
Lilith’s ceiling would be Ophis’s former ceiling. She was completely incapable of threatening Ophis.
”Are we just going to let Cao Cao hold that power? Let him control the Khaos Brigade in your name?” Vali was somewhat unwilling. If Ophis did not want to return to the Khaos Brigade, then he would be suppressed by Cao Cao.
”That power is not something Cao Cao can control. Even if he induced Lilith’s birth, Lilith will not obey his orders.”
”Lilith?”
”Mm. That is the name I gave to the will that is about to be born from that power.”
Ophis said calmly: “That power possesses all of my experiences from these years. The consciousness born from it will naturally be influenced by the experiences contained within. They will form what are called memories. Even if its personality is slightly different, it will not be manipulated by Cao Cao.”
”The leader of the Khaos Brigade will be Lilith from now on. I will not interfere anymore.”
Ophis explained simply. She also made it clear that she had no more interest in the Khaos Brigade. She only wanted to quickly improve her strength and return to the Dimensional Gap to find eternal stillness.
When it came to this point, the Vali Team had no choice but to leave no matter how unwilling they were.
The Vali Team teleported away one by one. Kuroka was the last to leave. Before she went, she made an apologetic expression to Aki.
Aki did not think Kuroka had done anything wrong. The two of them were already on the same side. But Kuroka was also a member of the Vali Team. Informing Vali about such a big matter concerning Ophis was completely normal.
More importantly, Vali had not caused any trouble. It was just a waste of some time.
After seeing off the Vali Team, Aki said: “Ophis, I thought of a good place. Let us go there for dual cultivation. I also have a surprise for you.”
After hearing what Ophis said to Vali, a bold idea suddenly came to Aki’s mind.
If he could make Ophis and Rivier coexist peacefully, then the Dimensional Gap would be the perfect place for dual cultivation, would it not?
As for the surprise he mentioned, of course it was about Rivier.
Ophis did not know that Aki had already reached an agreement with Rivier. She did not even need to improve her strength anymore to return to the Dimensional Gap. She could go back right now.
”What surprise?” Ophis asked with some curiosity.
”I cannot say yet. You will know soon.”
Aki smiled slightly. A teleportation magic circle spread under his feet.
Ophis did not resist. She followed Aki with curiosity as they transferred.
”We are here. How is this place?”
In an instant, Aki brought Ophis to the seaside space that had once served as a transfer point.
It was still night here. The deep blue sea surface reflected the bright stars in the sky. Accompanied by gentle sea breezes, the scenery was quiet and charming. It was simply a perfect outdoor lovemaking spot.
”This place is…”
Ophis also liked this space very much. She showed a surprised smile. “Is this the surprise… I like it very much.”
More than the scenery, what Ophis truly liked was the familiar fluctuation coming from this space. Because it was very close to the Dimensional Gap. Here, she could feel a sense of ‘home.’
It could be called a miracle that such a space existed so close to the Dimensional Gap.
Especially since this space had only been discovered by Aki. Ophis felt this was the best gift she had ever received.
Not only was the scenery beautiful, but because it was so close to the Dimensional Gap, there was no life here except for a group of mindless seabirds.
There might have been life before, but they had all been cleared out when Rivier used it as her back garden.
In any case, as a dual cultivation场地 for two Dragon God-level beings, this place was simply perfect.
Compared to the colorful Dimensional Gap, Aki actually preferred it here.
The boundless Dimensional Gap was vast and you could do whatever you wanted, but it was too monotonous. There was also the possibility of strong beings from other worlds entering at any time. Although it was almost impossible to meet due to the concept of infinity, it was still somewhat unsettling.
Aki did not explain that this was not the surprise yet. The person who was about to arrive was the real surprise.
This space was close to the Dimensional Gap. It was also Rivier’s back garden. As soon as Aki arrived here, he could contact Rivier.
Right now, a certain Dragon God who was still struggling with what a human form should look like was already on her way.
Aki was not worried at all about whether the surprise would turn into a shock. With him here, Ophis and Rivier would not fight.
As long as communication was possible, the two sides could definitely coexist peacefully.
In truth, Ophis and Rivier did not have any deep grudge against each other. It was just a petty squabble between two friends who had grown up together.
At most, this squabble had lasted a bit long.
This ‘long’ was relative to the short life of humans. For Ophis and Rivier, it was not that much.
It was precisely because he saw through this that Aki was so confident.
In addition, Aki had a trump card.
As long as he told Rivier and Ophis that there were stronger beings outside this world, and that there were even some who planned to target them, they would naturally coexist peacefully.
In the original world line, Ophis and Rivier had cooperated many times.
After Rivier was decapitated by a foreign god, Ophis even planned to take revenge for her.
