Heavenly Opposers
67 Chapter 67

"I see...."

The Mercuvial spoke as its eyes left Xiao and gazed deeply into the sky, a multitude of emotions and pasts flashed through its eyes as it gazed back at Xiao as it spoke

"You're right Gravewalker absolute strength is the only truth in this vast unforgiving cultivation world, powerful civilization to unending beasts that ruled the laws, all of them only stood tall because they had the power that spooked all that wished them harm"

The Mercuvial stopped for a moment before which it spoke again

"For time immemorial, be it kindness or ruthlessness, good or evil, Yin or Yang, Truth or Lies, it doesn't matter, what mattered is that if you have the strength and if you do then what you say goes, history was always written by the winner, that was ironically the only truth within the past that stayed the same"

As it finished speaking mind blogging silence, remained in the space, Xiao stood there without any word as he gazed at the being with power that was far beyond his understanding, he didn't ask nor scream for help for he was unworthy of it, favor or demands, and request can only be done by people that have the same level

Xiao understood that deeply, hence he stayed there in silence, meanwhile, the Mercuvial, sat there in silence, deeply pondering about something, within its eyes Xiao's karma, fate lines, his destiny all of them kept flashing, the more it saw the more puzzled it became soon it opened its mouth as it spoke

"Gravewalker show me your past and your present"

Xiao was startled for a moment as he heard this request, in the end, he just shrugged his shoulders as he opened himself to the being in front of him, by choice all his secrets were laid bare, he wasn't afraid as he knew that the person in front of him was long dead, as for how? well it was a gut feeling that keeps hitting him

The only thing left of the person was the domain he sat on, while the wisp of the past connected to it by sheer will, while Xiao stayed silent, the being on the throne looked all through Xiao, and the more it saw the more its eyes twinkled, finally, a sigh left its mouth as it spoke

"Xiao my names Torex Swordzeit"

Xiao stood there silence as Torex who refused to use his name used it, Torex gazed deeply at Xiao before which the cloak on his face dissipated bringing in the visage of a ridiculously handsome man with blue hair and eyes that would cause all women to be swept off their feet, a deep pride and arrogance brimmed deep with him, all that was and wasn't bowed to him in respect

"Xiao in truth I never hoped to pass my domain to any, it was the accumulation of blood, sweat, and tears of the past but seeing how even the heavenly destiny screwed you over I wish to pass it on to you"

"What do you mean when you say that the heavenly destiny screwed me over?"

Xiao asked with narrowed eyes, while the domain thing interested him, what drew his attention was the part of being screwed over, Torex chuckled he spoke

"You should know about the barriers of Karma and fate hence I can't say much but you should know that the 'gifts', rebirth, and power that you are receiving is not something without a cost, the !@#$%$% has a use for you hence they uprise you but once you lose your value everything would come falling"

"What should I do?"

Xiao asked with narrowed eyes, he wasn't able to hear the name of the one toying with his fate and he didn't ask for more information as he knew that he wasn't going to receive it

"Simply become an 'Irregular' that breaks the bonds of Fate and Karma, willing it to your desires, though you seem to be partially one"

Xiao's mind churned with several ideas, he felt as if he was gasping for something that was far yet close at the same time, his mind raced for a few more seconds before which he spoke again

"Are there any 'Irregulars' before and what do you mean I am partially one?"

Xiao asked carefully not knowing if it would hit upon the laws of causality, Torex nodded his head as he spoke

"You aren't the first to be dealt with in such a fashion Xiao, there have been many before you, heroes are chosen at the end and beginning of Chaos but the number that was able to wield fate and causality can be counted on one hand"

"In your first life everything you should have was stripped away, I could see that a certain being is hiding his presence while protecting you, with the memories of the future you have already started to change fate in an unprecedented manner, making you already a partial Irregular"

Xiao's thoughts became much more serious when he heard this, the cultivation world has a huge...huge history that one wouldn't even be able to count, and for only such a small number to exist means that it's extremely hard to accomplish it, even then he felt more curious to the person that played him to death and the one giving him a chance to redo it all but the most important question all boiled down to why?

Xiao wasn't all that effected by this bullshit of fate, karma and all, he's Xiao and that hadn't changed, why should he start throwing tantrums and screaming for something that has happened? it won't change a thing, Torex didn't wait for Xiao to digest it all as he spoke

"Oh! also don't speak of this outside, the only reason I was even able to say this much to you was that you are currently in my domain that trends between the known, unknown, and death, making the presence of !@#$%^ weak"

After saying so he peered into Xiao with a thoughtful look, seeing it Xiao asked

"What?"

"Nothing, it would seem that you shouldn't have been able to meet me, even with this bloodline of yours the chances were too slim, 'they' would never let you meet someone like me who has already peered into some of the secrets of the world, this encounter was one out of pure cosmic misplace or..."

"Or?"

"Nothing"

Torex shook his head, causing Xiao to look at him suspiciously but he didn't force it as Torex has already said to him much that he was missing, he now knew that somebody was playing with his fate and he doesn't like it one bit

"So boy take my domain, my greatest creation, and bring forth chaos"

Torex spoke with a handsome smile that would fool the devil but Xiao didn't fall into it as he questioned

"What's in it for you? what do you gain?....no what should I do for this power?"

Xiao didn't believe for one second that Torex was doing this out of goodwill, no one would give away his most prized power like this, alive, dead, or surviving consciousness, and Torex agreed to it by nodding his head

"You're right this is not free as for what I want? hehehe...it will happen whether I give this power or not but I would surely tremble with pleasure at the thought that my power would cause harm to those bitches"

Xiao calmly nodded his head though he didn't fully believe it but for now he could only accept, what else could he do? moreover he didn't show it but he was trembling with excitement for getting this domain, he was sure that this would make him a nightmare to all his enemy
