Chapter 495: The Central Ruler(4)

“What about ‘Him’? Do we need to fight ‘Him’ as well?” Katrina still maintained the amount of respect and asked Aakesh.

Autumn, who had just gotten over her shock of fighting the ruler, felt shudders down her spine as she heard Katrina’s question. She moved several steps away from the duo since even thinking the question was blasphemous for her.

It was true that her respect for the creator was born out of fear for ‘Him’. But at the same time, there was also reverence for ‘Him’ in her heart as ‘He’ was their creator. If not for ‘Him’, they would’ve never been born here and seen this continent or even thought of leaving it to go to the outside world.

Autumn then stared at Aakesh to know his answer.

“No! I am not some idiot to challenge your creator,” Aakesh responded straight away.

There was a difference between challenging someone strong or someone like the creator. He would only be an idiot even if he thought of fighting against him.

Autumn heaved a sigh of relief, hearing Aakesh’s answer. If Aakesh would’ve said yes, she would’ve left straight away, even forgetting about Lily, her ancestor. She had no interest in facing certain death after fighting against ‘Him’.

Katrina didn’t say anything but stared at Aakesh for a few seconds to find out whether Aakesh was lying or not. Seeing that nothing unexpected happened, she also heaved a sigh of relief. Just thinking about battling ‘Him’ sent chills down her spine and almost forced her to crash down to the ground.

“So, do you want to make a deal or not?” Aakesh expressionlessly asked Katrina, breaking the silence in the area. “Are you in?” He then turned his head around and asked Autumn who had moved away from them after Katrina’s question.

“I am fine with it!”

“Yes!”

Katrina and Autumn respectively responded, announcing their affirmation of Aakesh’s deal.

Aakesh expressionlessly nodded, hearing the positive answer from both of them.

Aakesh could sense the power difference between Katrina, Autumn, and him, and it wasn’t nothing. If Katrina and Autumn were so much more powerful than him, he could guess the power difference between him and the ruler. If somehow the battle between him and the ruler occurred, then Katrina and Autumn would be a great help to him if he needed to survive that ordeal.

“So, how far does the ruler live?” Aakesh expressionlessly asked Katrina after they had a successful deal.

“One trillion miles,” Katrina answered.

“Eh!” Aakesh couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise as one trillion miles wasn’t a large distance. He had traveled more than that from spider den to come here.

Aakesh then looked at Autumn, who had told him that the distance was too far to walk on foot.

“I know what you’re thinking,” Katrina chimed in and interrupted Aakesh before he could ask Autumn a question.

“Oh, how could the distance be so less when she told me that it’s too far to walk on foot,” Katrina then put Aakesh’s thoughts out in his voice.

Aakesh had no reaction to Katrina mimicking him, and he looked at her, waiting to know the answer.

“You’re no fun,” Katrina disappointedly said, seeing no response from Aakesh. Then her face turned solemn, and she started answering.

“The distance is one trillion miles only in figurative terms. In the center of every primary domain solely owned by the central ruler, there is a place that could directly take anyone to the ruler’s territory. For entry, every central ruler gets a key, and after using that, the central ruler appears in the required area.”

“The key isn’t valid for anyone other than the central ruler, not even their family, but still, it’s the only way for anyone to reach the ruler’s territory.”

“The ruler lives at the edge of the continent. Since its birth, the Conspiracy continent has been continuously expanding at an unimaginable rate. In the time we had spent here talking, the continent had already grown by hundreds of trillions of miles. Since the Conspiracy continent has been in existence for countless years, its size had already surpassed the imagination of everyone living in it.”

“So to travel to the ruler’s territory, the point at the center of every primary domain is the only way.”

“Anyone other than the central ruler may not be able to enter using the key, but they still can reach the ruler’s territory using that point.”

“It’s just that there is a large world consisting of different tests inside the point, and anyone who was entering without the key would have to pass that world to reach that area. The ruler only thinks of talented as worth setting foot on her territory.”

“The size of that world is one trillion miles, and you need to complete that journey if you want to meet the ruler,” Katrina concluded.

‘This continent is already larger than the Primal dimension,’ Aakesh thought after learning about the growth rate of the continent.

He would find it tough to cover the entirety of the Primal dimension on foot, let alone something like this continent which had already surpassed its size. Even if the time rate between the conspiracy continent and the Primal dimension were 1,000,000:1, it would still take him weeks, if not months, to travel in the Primal dimension time.

“What kind of word is inside the point?” Aakesh asked Katrina as he needed to know as much as possible before entering it.

“No idea,” Katrina nonchalantly replied. “Since the world’s inception, no one has cleared it, and since there was no return from it, no one knows the content inside the world,” She further added in a casual manner as if it had nothing to do with her. There was even a hint of gloating in her tone.

She knew only with Aakesh’s survival would she be able to leave this continent, but at the same time, she also hoped to get payback for Aakesh ignoring her. She had a childlike personality, so Aakesh didn’t focus on the gloating.

“I also don’t know,” Autumn answered before Aakesh asked her.

“Does the world also have the ability to separate individuals?” Aakesh asked as his eyes fell on Lily engulfed in a blob of light and Clara, who had been unconscious since the arrival of Katrina.
