I appeared on the grey stone platform with the gate behind me.
I looked around and saw the morning sun shining with its light blocked by the massive shade tree.
It is one of the biggest trees I have ever seen, though.
Focusing on it is just an act to look at Silver Primes looking at me. There are more than I had thought; eleven, from what I could see.
Five are visible. Six are invisible. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.net
I don't know whether a Golden Prime is present. They are far too powerful for me to sense, and I hope they will not be here.
If anyone could see through the façade, it is them. They have the power and knowledge to do that.
They all focused on me before focusing on the runes swimming on my body.
"Arys, come," said Carter.
I nodded and followed after him while my heartbeat wildly. I could feel the eyes of Primes and their power. Some had already started scanning me.
I hope we will be able to move out of the compound without a problem.
More began to scan me as I walked till I felt all eleven of them using different abilities to scan me, and some of them didn't even try to hide it.
I turned to them and glared. Showing what I am feeling about their behavior.
I shouldn't do this, but this persona is like that, and I plan to follow it thoroughly till I myself begin to feel like Arys instead of Micheal.
They aren't just scanning me; they are also talking with Carter.
I could sense him responding to the tens of queries.
Earlier, I need to use forbidden power actively to sense others' telepathic calls, but now with the breakthrough. I could sense it with my own soul sense.
I shouldn't be using my soul sense, but not using it would be suspicious, and I don't want to do anything suspicious.
Said the red-scaled woman with a single curved horn in the middle of her head.
She looked to be in her fifties and beautiful, but it's not a beauty I am focusing on. It's her power; she is a Silver Prime and not an initial one, either.
She had let Carter leave the small compound around the gate but stopped me.
Though they hadn't spared Carter, they had scanned him to the very inch. They do that to everyone from the strongest Prime to the weakest Sky Sovereign.
"You have to go through that gate," she said. Pointing toward the gate, which had tens of scanning devices along with Sky Sovereign standing.
"I am not a Sky Sovereign, nor a new Prime, Silver Prime."
"So, if you want to scan me, scan and collect my sample, do it here, but let me tell you, I will not like that one bit and will remember it for a long time," I replied, looking directly into her eyes.
A surprise appeared in her eyes before anger flashed. I found myself covered in her massive power, floating in the air without any resistance.
Unlike an alarmed Carter, there was not a hint of panic. Nor fear. I didn't even resist.
"Silver Prime Ozarina, I will apologize for Prime Arys's rude words, but he is right. He isn't a new prime. He came from another Prime World,"
"He is also not Micheal Zaar. We have tested him, not even you would think, Micheal Zaar has an advanced grade knowledge of ancient runes, which Arys had,"
"Something that was witnessed by many people. Including Prime Lantir of your organization," explained Carter hurriedly.
She didn't even look at him. All her eyes are focused on me.
"So, you are from Prime World?" she asked, without releasing me. "Yes," I replied.
It is hard to reply under her power. It was like there was a weight of the mountain on me, but I replied and was pretty proud of myself that my voice didn't break.
"Which Prime World?" she asked, and I smiled.
Immediately, the pressure increased, and I could feel the faint cracks appearing on bones.
She is doing it with her power alone. She didn't even use the law. She wants to tell me she didn't even need to use the law to kill me.
Still, I remained quiet with a smile on my face even when the pressure kept increasing.
I could feel the eyes of everyone, including that of the Silver Primes. They all are looking at me, some openly. Some sneakily.
"What happened to you?" she asked, looking at the runes.
"Killed the person, I shouldn't have," I replied, with voice breaking faintly. It's hard to speak cleanly under such pressure; it's the best I was able to do.
Though, this best seemed to surprise her faintly. Not the voice but the answer.
"What will happen? If I squish you?" she asked, with her eyes not moving away from the
"Why don't you find that out?" I asked back instead of answering.
Immediately, the pressure on me increased as such that my bones begin to crack, but the smile remained on my face.
This is nothing but a little intimidation.
She wanted an answer, but didn't want to take things too far. If she had that intention, she wouldn't be harming me physically, which I could hear in seconds.
I would have been more scared. If she had sent her powerful energies inside me or used the power of laws, but she did neither.
She kept looking at me for several seconds before suddenly, she released her hold.
I immediately controlled my body and landed on the ground gently.
"Thank you for going easy on me, Silver Prime, and I apologize for any disrespect," I apologized. Giving her way out of the supposed disrespect I would have caused.
She just nodded and disappeared while I walked out of the compound.
"What was that? You should at least behave well in front of Silver Prime. She could have killed
you," said Carter, glaring at me.
"Relax. It isn't easy to kill me. If she managed it, then she would have been in a world of
trouble," I replied, looking at my runes.
Hearing that, his eyes widened.
