Chapter 300: The Loving Family of HYDRA
“I’ve already imposed on you for quite a while, I should take my leave now.” Owen said, pretending to be polite. What else could the Queen of Shadows say? She could only smile and see them off, then immediately pack up the Eternal Night Hall and run away without a moment’s delay.
Having lived for thousands of years, the Queen of Shadows wasn’t stupid. The other party could easily take away the Blood Prince, so they could easily take her away too. Not to mention, although the other party didn’t show any killing intent or greed in their eyes, the desire to collect toys was very obvious. She didn’t want to be captured and played with at her age, so if she didn’t run now, would she wait for the other party to visit again?
Owen, who was completely unaware of this, was observing Silvia’s expression, because she was acting too strangely.
After the Blood Prince was packed up and taken away by Owen, Silvia’s mission had obviously failed, but she didn’t seem disappointed at all. Instead, she seemed to be a little relieved, which puzzled him, because no matter how he looked at it, this lady was a sadist.
But thinking about it, someone who dared to wear thorns woven into clothes might be a masochist in disguise.
Silvia was so relaxed because her goal had been achieved. When she went back, her family would definitely ask her about this trip, and then, whether Owen wanted to or not, he would be listed as an enemy by her family, unless they fully understood how terrifying he really was.
And this process would require many deaths and great hatred.
Although her family would definitely take the initiative to ease the relationship between the two sides after suffering enough losses, Silvia would not give them the chance. As long as the time was right, she, the inside man, would immediately become the guide, completely burying her family in hell. Therefore, she did not deliberately hide her intentions, and even admitted that her family would most likely react in various ways.
Just as Silvia expected, Owen didn’t react much after hearing this. Even though he was about to become the enemy of a Grand Duke, he only showed annoyance, not fear, but this was even more interesting, wasn’t it?
Silvia, who had been acting normal, showed a wicked smile, revealing her true nature as a witch. She could hardly wait.
Owen couldn’t help but complain that no wonder people didn’t like witches and feared them. Honestly, their emotions were too unstable and too extreme.
Although Silvia’s family had their own reasons for courting death, this could not be concealed. It seemed that the territory needed to strengthen the psychological courses for little witches.
“Have you heard of HYDRA?” Owen suddenly asked Silvia mysteriously. The way he looked was like he would open his trench coat at any moment to reveal a stack of discs or three hairy legs, completely ruining his current handsome appearance, and he even managed to look three points sleazy.
“The strongest monster in the swamp?” Silvia said in a strange tone. Was HYDRA really worth being so mysterious about?
“No, HYDRA is an organization, a belief. In the organization, everyone is a loving family, just like a body with nine heads, having the same interests.” Owen felt like he was the wolf grandmother deceiving Little Red Riding Hood. Anyone who graduated from kindergarten wouldn’t believe it.
But Silvia didn’t care what Owen was talking about. Forget being a family, as long as she could achieve her goal, they could even share a bed. So she readily agreed to join HYDRA, and clearly stated that she would not hesitate to sacrifice her whole family for HYDRA’s great cause, which moved Owen greatly.
He originally thought that Bella, who wanted to bury her own father in the wilderness, was already invincible, but he didn’t expect Silvia to be even braver, wanting to send her whole family on their way together.
If all the members of HYDRA had such awareness in the future, how could their great cause not be achieved?
Owen thought happily, the only problem now was, what was HYDRA’s great cause? He hadn’t figured it out yet.
After agreeing with Silvia on the time of their next meeting, the two separated and went to look for the Secret Realm keys. However, Owen immediately ran to the Ghostly Castle, trying to capture the rare Ghost Girl, but naturally found nothing.
Looking at the empty Ghostly Castle without even a ghost shadow, Owen couldn’t help but sigh.
Although he didn’t subdue the Flashing Ghost Girl, it didn’t mean that Owen didn’t have other gains. For example, the space fragment in front of him was unowned.
This space fragment was the ark that carried the four Demigod Undead across the void. It was not only of high quality, but also retained a lot of essence, making it very suitable as soil for nurturing the Golden Tree seed.
The amount of essence needed for the Golden Tree seed to take root and sprout was frighteningly high. A single Blood Prince was simply not enough.
The high-quality space fragment in front of him was the best choice. After all, the Golden Tree seed wasn’t picky.
It’s just that the Domain still needed to help pack it up, making it easier for the Golden Tree seed to absorb.
If it was outside the Secret Realm, Owen wouldn’t dare to do this. The Domain was, after all, a fragment of the authority of a true god, even if it was just a fragment, its value was enough to make the Noble Goddess come and grab it without shame.
So it was fine to use it secretly, but if he really made a big deal out of it, he was afraid that all kinds of monsters and ghosts would be attracted. With Owen’s small body, he couldn’t handle it at all.
But here was different. The layers upon layers of space fragments in the Secret Realm were enough to block the fluctuations of the Domain when it was fully expanded, at least until he completed the devouring.
Thinking of this, Owen fully expanded the Domain for the first time. Invisible fluctuations spread out in all directions with him as the center, and the whole world seemed to be rendered, filled with an unreal feeling, like a layer of gauze covering it.
At the same time, a pool of blood, ten Abyss Demons, a golden light spot, the Dragon Mother, and a great sword appeared beside Owen one after another.
“Patronus Guard, Ancient Sage of Antiquity.” Owen, who had activated both Mysticism and Intelligence Enhancement, still felt immense pressure and had to continue to cheat.
With the system, Owen wouldn’t feel much pressure when using the Domain on a daily basis, but now he wasn’t simply expanding it, he also had to use the power of the Domain to envelop and devour the space fragment. The operations involved were not something that could be solved by simply eating, his mortal body couldn’t bear it at all, so he had to rely on the Patronus.
Sure enough, as soon as the Patronus appeared, Owen’s pressure was greatly reduced, but he knew that it was too risky to fully release the Domain, so the faster the better.
Under the operation of the Ancient Sage, the Domain barely exerted its original capabilities. Then, as the Devil, the Abyss Demons helped to comb through the dimensional turbulence around them, while the Dragon Mother expanded her divine domain to help suppress the pool of blood, which was starting to become restless.
Working together undoubtedly sped up the process of devouring the space fragment. At the same time, Owen also realized the benefits of doing this to the Domain.
The Domain was actually not complete. It was just a fragment of the authority left behind by the God of Reality and Illusion, but with the Golden Tree seed, which could absorb essence and continue to grow, this fragment had the possibility of becoming complete again.
Now the two complemented each other. The Domain enveloped and controlled, the Golden Tree seed absorbed and transformed, using an ability that Owen currently couldn’t understand to absorb and assimilate this space fragment.
Owen only instinctively knew about this ability, and this was the first time he had seen it. It felt like the world had become two layers, one real and one illusory. Now the real was becoming illusory and the illusory was becoming real, even he couldn’t tell which was real and which was illusory for a while.
In the end, Owen was still a mortal, not even a Demigod, this limited his vision and perspective. Just like an ant couldn’t understand a smartphone, he couldn’t fully understand the operation of the Domain.
Fortunately, as long as he could use it, he didn’t need to consider a deeper understanding for now.
