The girl froze when she heard that.
The illusion immediately vanished, and the girl disappeared in front of him.
Ethan was surprised. He could trace the girl’s aura, but it was in another form of life.
It was not a living person, as no vital energy could be traced—only some eerie darkness elemental residue.
Is it a soul form? That’s a new thing. I don’t think they exist in the main universe.
He heard a chilling voice, "How did you figure this out, human?"
Ethan smiled, "Are you a dumbass or something? You created a fucking lake so beautiful in the deeper part of a forest where so many monsters are lurking. Who the fuck would be dumb enough to believe this shit?"
The girl didn’t reply immediately. Then he heard the voice of the girl again,this time there were some disdain in the voice, "Men think with their dick, not with their brain. I see you have some brain. I’ll probably eat your brain while taking some quality time. You could have had some good time if you were as dumb as the people who came before, but now you will die a horrible death without getting anything."
Ethan was speechless. This ghost was right about this part. There were some men who thought that way.
He said, "Is that so? Then let me see how you are going to have a quality time eating my brain. Come."
As soon as he finished, the girl materialized in front of him and raised her hand above. The carcasses of the monsters from the lake flew out. They attacked him like some kind of zombies.
Ethan clapped his hands, "Nice magic trick. The children would become very happy, and you could earn a fortune in a circus."
The girl’s expression froze again.
"What is wrong with this bastard? Has he gone mad from fear? Or is he really this brave?"
But the carcasses attacked Ethan nonetheless.
Ethan just snapped his fingers, and those carcasses vaporized instantly.
Ethan said, "Any more tricks?"
This time, the girl was horrified. She understood she had hit a hard stone this time. That man was not an ordinary one. He was one among those people and a very strong one at that.
She asked, "Why would a cultivator like you come here to such a remote corner of this continent?"
Ethan was surprised. This ghost thought he was a cultivator. So she probably knew something.
He snapped again. The girl stood there frozen. This time, she was wrapped by his mental energy.
She tried her level best to come out. But Ethan was a fucking monster with almost half a sun-level power in the clone. How could a mere emperor-level ghost fight him?
Ethan came in front of her and said, "I’ll ask you questions, and you answer. Or else..."
The girl stopped struggling. She looked at the calm face of Ethan. Ethan could see her pale face with hollow eyes. It could send chills down to any normal person’s spine.
Then the girl started laughing madly.
"Or else what? Would you rape a ghost? I was already raped and killed. What’s the fucking worst you can do to me? Huh?"
Ethan already had some inklings about that. Now it was confirmed.
He thought for a moment.
"If you answer my questions, I can give you a body and you could become my servant and leave this place. Of course, if you don’t want to say anything, I’ll just erase your existence. You have 30 seconds. Tell me your decision."
The girl was surprised.
Was he telling the truth? Could he make her a body and let her leave this place?
Then she would be able to take her vengeance if those people were still alive. But it had already been 80 years. She didn’t know if they were still alive or not.
Ethan said, "Your time is up. So tell me, what do you want?"
The girl said, "I want to leave this place. If you promise to fulfill your words, I’ll answer your questions."
Ethan nodded. "Alright."
"Do you have a name? What happened to you?"
"My name was Amelia. I was brought here by my fiancé and was raped by him and his 9 friends. Then they left me alive here to die at the hands of these monsters. I died with a tremendous amount of resentment. So I have become like this. This happened 80 years ago."
Ethan nodded. Then he asked,
"You said I was a cultivator. Do you know about them?"
Amelia said, "I know something about them. At least I heard of them, as I belong to a martial artist family in the faraway Kingdom of Eryndor."
"Okay, tell me what you know."
"The cultivators are like gods. They cultivate by absorbing spirit energy from nature and get stronger like gods and demons. They can flatten mountains with a wave of their hands."
"Do you know the power ranking system?" Ethan asked.
"I heard there are Body Refining, Qi Refining. The Qi Refining are the real gods. They can fly in the sky. Even a peak Body Refining realm cultivator can kill an Innate realm martial artist. Only Martial Saints might have a chance with them. But Qi Refining powerhouses are on an entirely different level."
"So this is a cultivation world where the names go similar to those novels. How the heck did those authors know them? Maybe some cultivator also lived on Earth where I was from and they started writing novels about them?" Ethan thought in his mind.
That was possible. Then he looked at her and created a metal body which looked just like her real body. This body could evolve with her if she wanted. As it was created by his Metal Law and Supreme Law of Creation, it was very flexible. Then he caught her with his mental energy and put her inside that body, merging both of them by using the Law of Creation again.
Boom!
With a blinding ray of light, the body and soul merged together.
An extremely beautiful girl materialized in front of him.
The girl kneeled immediately. She felt immense respect for Ethan now.
Ethan nodded. Then said, "You’ll collect information about cultivators for me from now on. If you find any clue, just send me a mental message."
Then he also said that this body could become stronger. He taught her a breathing technique. She bowed again.
Ethan said, "You may go. You don’t have to be with me anymore."
"Yes, master."
The girl started going in another direction. Ethan went forward. He wanted to see the forest, then he would go to another city.
Earth.
Ethan opened his eyes and vanished. He appeared on Mars. This entire solar system was under his mental domain now. He had just felt a movement on this planet. So he came here to check what it was.
As he arrived, he found a huge mountain. There was a cave in that mountain. He entered there and found a spaceship. Inside that spaceship, a white puppy could be seen.
How did this spaceship appear here out of nowhere? And what is this damn puppy? With a strength of 3 Suns? What the fuck is going on.
