Chapter 106: Fear
Ank was surprised and got irritated.
He was at his limit. He had already wasted so much time on the Stone Plant Prince.
Tsk…
"I will ask one last time. If you cannot tell me, I will kill you. I already knew what you were doing, but I ignored it.
My patience is limited. Tell me or die."
He started gathering energy in his hands to punch the Stone Plant Prince for the last time.
The Stone Plant Prince had no other choice.
If he did not tell him, he would die, and his plan would fail.
Now he had two choices: betray his idol or die protecting his idol's identity.
In the end, he lost. Fear of death was far more terrifying than anything he had ever felt.
"I will tell you, but you have to promise me that you will not kill me."
Decline.
"You were already dead in my eyes. I am just waiting for your last attempt at survival."
As those words left Ank's mouth, the surroundings started changing.
Slowly, his expression began to change.
The calm on his face twisted into something unnatural, something that did not belong to a human. He no longer looked human.
He looked like a monster wearing human skin.
His eyes glowed a deep, endless blue, like an ocean with no surface and no bottom.
There were no pupils, no warmth, only a silent depth that felt capable of drowning the soul of anyone who dared to meet his gaze.
White strands of hair lifted into the air as if gravity had lost its authority over him, moving on their own, reacting to a power that could no longer be contained.
A slow, devilish smile formed on his lips, not born of anger or excitement, but of absolute certainty.
This was the moment Ank stopped holding himself back.
His presence alone crushed the surroundings. The ground trembled as if it recognized this was the end.
Silent Space felt heavier, darker, as though it was bowing before him. Every breath he took carried dominance, every step radiated control.
He was no longer fighting as a warrior. He was judging as an Emperor.
A cold chill ran through the Stone Plant Prince's entire body upon witnessing Ank's face. His instincts screamed louder than his thoughts.
For the first time in his entire life, he understood something far more terrifying than fear.
Fear could be faced. Fear could be resisted.
But what stood before him now was inevitability.
And deep in his heart, he knew the truth.
There would be no survival. Only the end.
"I will tell you everything without any conditions."
Ank narrowed his eyes.
Both Ank's and the Stone Plant Prince's eyes met for two seconds.
For the Stone Plant Prince, it was endless torture seeing those eyes.
"I will tell you everything. Please spare me."
His face completely became horror. Now he understood that he was facing an endless nightmare because of some stupid people who could not control themselves from fighting.
"The first Emperor of the Universe was a person who was erased from universal history, and no one knew about him except the gods."
He uttered every word carefully, each one showing how afraid he was of him.
He forced himself not to make a mistake or utter any wrong or missing words.
"And you asked why I knew this. In the Universe, some mortals were trying to uncover the truth, and I was one of them. Our biggest obstacle was the gods, who used any means to shut us down."
Blood started coming from his eyes and ears. His heart was beating very fast, and the green orb in the center of his chest started emitting brighter green energy.
Ank ignored everything that was happening to the Stone Plant Prince.
Ank placed one finger on his cheek. Now he understood why the gods were doing this. If Ank's history were revealed, the whole Universe would change, and chaos would spread everywhere. No god wanted chaos.
Now the Stone Plant Prince gathered every bit of courage he had, every bit of motivation, every bit of anything that helped him say the words he knew would change everything once they left his mouth.
There was no return.
"To… To… Today you will die."
His heart stopped. He was dead due to the fear and terror Ank was showing.
The Stone Plant Prince's last move to connect with the Moon Core was now successful.
To do this, he had to die. Only then could he connect with the Moon Core so he could reincarnate as the Moon.
At first, he thought he would stop his heart himself, but after Ank showed his terrifying face, he died from a heart attack.
But in the end, he was already connected to the Moon.
He was now combined with the Moon, and his body slowly changed into particles.
A stone figure emerged from the ground, made of rocks shaken the moon surface from his presence.
Slowly, the rocks started taking shape as stone plant prince.
One by one, many stone figures started emerging from the ground, similar to the first figure.
First One ,then thousand,and in the last millions.
All the stone figures looked like stone plant prince and carried different weapons in their hands,some were carrying spears,some were carrying bows,some were swords ,each had a different weapon made of moon rocks.
Their eyes were radiating green energy with no emotion ,they had only one aim to kill Ank and then destroy the duskwild planet even if they died.
They started moving toward Ank at full speed ,circling Ank from every corner.
Ank was now in the middle of this massive rock army.
They were glaring at Ank but no one moved to attack Ank, they were waiting for their leader to attack first and then they would attack him from everywhere.
Then, a stone figure triple the size of the previous ones emerged from the back of the massive rock army facing in front of Ank.
He was leader of this army
In the center of its chest the Stone Plant Prince's dead body was
located.
He was dead but this rock figure was using every mana from this body to kill Ank.
It launched itself toward Ank for a punch.
