LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 382: Destiny
The original Atlan walked up to Tulip and grabbed her waist. Using his immense physical strength, he was able to lift her and himself into the air, as if he was walking on the ground.
The hundreds of thousands of clones that filled the skies slowly made way for Atlan and Tulip, showing a direct line toward the horde of dragon clones. And further back there was the original Dragon Queen Malificient.
Seeing this opportunity, the dragon clones immediately rushed toward the original Atland and Tulip. They looked like hungry dogs that had just gotten a glimpse of a meaty bone in the street.
Of course, the moment they got close, Atlan's clones and puppets converged on them and destroyed them into bits.
Thousands of Apocalyptic Hellfire arrows were fired, and thousands of the humanoid Beast jumped from the ground and mounted the dragons, ripping the scales and wings from their back.
Meanwhile, an infinite amount of golden bubbles protected Atlan and Tulip. Even when the thousands of dragon clones all shot a black hole toward them before their death, the infinite golden bubbles stopped them from penetrating deep into their territory.
The moment one golden bubble shattered, two more took its place, hence the infinite golden bubble.
Atlan's clones moved to surround Atlan and Tulip at the center, creating a sphere of safety as they traveled closer and closer to the enemy territory.
Meanwhile, the original Dragon Queen Malificient floated in the air, looking directly at Atlan and Tulip with eyes that could kill. It was clear that the moment she saw an opening, she would pounce and kill the two of them in a mere instant.
'Last chance. Do you really want to do this?' Atlan asked.
'Yes. I do. I have to do this,' replied Tulip.
Knowing that he could do nothing to convince Tulip, he continued to move closer and closer to the dragon clones. He made sure to keep his eye peeled, making sure that anytime the dragon tried to do something, the clones were ready to make a decisive response.
As they got closer and closer, Atlan realized that the dragon clones weren't moving at all. They all started to move away from Atlan and Tulip.
The thousands of dragon clones continued to make way for Atlan and Tulip to get closer to the Dragon Queen Malificient.
This is a trap, Atlan thought to himself. After all, there was no way that the Queen would so graciously accept a truce with them without planning something under the shadows. However, Atlan didn't have a choice. He had to trust Tulip and hope that she was able to convince the Queen out of this useless war.
They continued to walk in the air. Atlan and Tulip were surrounded by his clones and puppets. Meanwhile, his clones and puppets were surrounded by a horde of dragon clones, ready to pounce at any time.
Of course, this was extremely disadvantageous for Atlan and Tulip. If worse came to worst, then Atlan would have to use his trump card to escape.
'Have you come to surrender yourself,' the Queen uttered from high up in the air. She slowly made her way towards Atlan and Tulip with a sly smile on her face.
There was even a hint of ridicule in her eyes as if she thought that Tulip was stupid for bringing herself so close to her.
'Human, if you want mercy, that boat has long passed. We will not settle this fight until one of us will kill each other,' the Queen said coldly.
Back then, the Malificient Dragon Queen treated Atlan as nothing more than a little human boy. She didn't treat him as any sort of threat and thought that she could kill him at any time he wanted.
But she was quickly proven wrong. The fact that Atlan could keep up with her strength now, when he was just a little kid, meant that he had the potential to kill her in the future. That was what she wanted to avoid in the future.
She finally realized why the prophecy treated Atlan as the chosen one. He was different from any human she had ever encountered. He was far too strong and overpowered. Just his ability to clone himself infinitely was enough to put him into one of the most dangerous beings in the Canzer world.
'Right back at ya, you lizard,' Atlan replied. 'But I'm not here to settle our grudge. I'm here because someone wants to talk to you.'
The Dragon Queen Malificient looked at Tulip, who was right next to him.
'Miss…miss Queen….' Tulip could barely even stand up straight under the Dragon Queen's gaze. If it weren't for Atlan's aura protecting her, her measly little body would be crushed under the weight of the Dragon Queen's aura.
'I have no words for you,' replied the Queen, making sure to increase her tyrannical aura to the maximum. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire
But even when Tulip felt like her heart wanted to escape, she endured everything and opened her mouth.
'I want to stop this whole thing…I don't want to inherit your throne. I have no desire for it…so, please. Just let us all go and I will never show myself in this kingdom ever again. You can rule this entire kingdom for as long as you can!'
Tulip's words became louder and louder, turning into a shout. Her emotions got the better of her.
In response to her charged message, the Dragon Queen Malificient simply laughed.
'HAHAHAHAHAHA! How amusing!'
Tulip frowned, not understanding why her words sounded so funny. From her perspective, her request was fully reasonable.
'Let me tell you something, little Canzer. Prophecies are strange, unpredictable knots of fate.
Unless I kill you, then the prophecy will not change. You will eventually lead my downfall. Even if you go to the other side of the world, you will eventually find yourself back in this kingdom one way or another.
There is a saying;
One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.'
