Weapon Seller In The World Of Magic

After a while;

"So, you are saying that you are an advanced artificial intelligence created by me and was planted in some divine throne and then had you transform to this spaceship?" Mark now completely felt like he lost his senses this time. He put forth the same conditions as a test, trying to prove he hasn't gone insane.

However, he didn't know that Neo has a surprise for him.

The moment he asked whether she can prove that none of this is an illusion, Neo firmly nodded as she replied, "Certainly, Master."

*Snap*

With a snap of her finger, Mark and Steve found themselves standing outside on the barren land. The teenager had a look of a daze as he was staring at the spaceship in disbelief. He didn't expect such a scene.

Meanwhile, the entire spaceship was enveloped by the same golden light before it disappeared, leaving behind an exquisite-looking throne and a floating golden spirit.

Neo pointed the seat of the throne with her hand, "Master, please take the seat."

Mark couldn't help but walk toward the throne and sat on it, listening to her words.

The moment he sat on it, Neo disappeared into the throne and the entire thing turned into the form of powerful golden energy before disappearing altogether into his forehead.

Mark, at once, flew into the air and crashed onto the ground. This strange scene brought Steve back to his senses and he quickly rushed to his father, "Dad…" He placed his hand on Mark's body and mumbled, "Aria, inspect the status of the target."

*Ding!

The sound of a bell was heard in his head and a visible holographic screen appeared before his eyes. Mark's data appeared. However, it was slightly different from how Mark's system used to display him.

Lu Zhen

Biological age: 25

Status: Unknown

Cultivation realm: N/A 

Number of Attributes: >1

Dominant attribute: unknown

Attribute with the highest mastery: Ice

Bloodline: unknown

Overall review: Aria cannot analyze the target properly due to abnormally high values of stats.

"Dammit." Steve gritted his teeth in frustration and anger, realizing that he was too slow to act despite his great cultivation level. "I should have made my move when something that isn't in my control was going on. I came here to save him, not mess up things even more. Now, even my time ship is gone. How will I return? What should I do?"

As he was panicking over the situation, a figure came to his head. "James…"

Steve immediately picked up Mark's unconscious body and flew back to the tree house in the forest.

There, in the house, Zan Rong was still busy cooking while James was talking with her.

Sensing Steve's presence alongside his dad's, James stopped conversing and swiftly came to the living room before asking about the situation.

Upon listening to everything, James told Steve to place Mark on the floor and then placed his palm on Mark's chest, sending a speck of his energy into the latter's body.

However, it disappeared right away and a frown appeared on James.

"What happened?" asked Zan Rong. 

James looked at Steve and said, "I sense a battle with two powerful energies. Neither of them belonged to Dad though. I think this one belonged to the time ship. We can only wait for now."

"Never expected Mark would create something like this," Zan Rong couldn't help but comment.

Steve, meanwhile, apologized to his brother. James patted his shoulder with a smile, "Nothing to worry, Bro. Don't worry. If something would happen to him, we would have already disappeared by now. The fact that we are still alive means he is still alright and our future hasn't changed."

"But, the time ship is gone and you two are stuck here," commented Zan Rong in response. "What happens then?"

As Steve's face paled in fright, James calmly spoke, "Don't assume the worst when nothing that's concerning even happened. You should wait." After a brief pause, he added, "If it comes to that, we will have to make a breakthrough at all costs and then extract the orb of chaos from your mom before they do, and rewrite the reality."

"Orb of chaos? What is that?" Zan Rong asked her nephews. However, her question was only met with silence. She understood that they have their own secrets and didn't try to press them anymore. She casually changed the topic to how she forgot about the boiling sweet corn soup and rushed back into the kitchen.

Steve and James then sat down beside an unconscious Mark and patiently observed his condition. From time to time, James would insert specks of his ether energy to understand the state of the battle between two divine energies.

And so, two weeks passed away in a blink of an eye;

Lunaris City, Western Moon kingdom;

In the royal palace of the kingdom, Song Yue was seen sitting at the window of her room and staring outside. She looked quite pale as if she became sick. 

*knock* knock* knock*

The sounds of the knocking interrupted her thoughts. She turned her head to see Princess Shen Ling. 

Giving her a glance, she turned her attention back to the world outside the window, "I'm not in a mood to eat. You can continue, Sister Shen."

The princess replied, "You are barely eating lately. Look at yourself. At this rate, you will fall sick. Won't Lu Zhen be sad when he returns?"

"We have gone through this already, Sister Shen. Please leave me alone," said Song Yue in a weak tone.

Shen Ling let out a deep sigh and turned around to leave the room. Her eyes fell on the black-armored man who was sitting against the wall in sadness.

The princess looked at him and shook her head, "Why don't you go and convince her by yourself, Mr. Black Knight? Perhaps, your support is what she needed the most, right now."

Black Knight wrote the words in the air controlling his ether energy, "I cannot. You know why."

"I know," nodded the princess and then said, "That is why I have sent my people to bring Ms. Cheng."

Black Knight looked at her in surprise, "my wife?"

The princess nodded with a smile.
