Chapter 184: Where the fuck...? (2/2)
What's more, any kind of beast or spirit that could survive in this environment would be no joke.
”Now then.”
He crouched down, put all his strength in his legs, and--jumped as high as possible.
*BOOM*
The ground trembled as he was launched high in the sky.
The hot air scorched his skin, but he could barely feel anything thanks to the scales. Once he reached peak altitude, he looked at his surroundings, but was disappointed to see no signs of settlement.
Once he landed, and after losing his footings and rolling a little on the ground, taking some sand in his mouth and other parts he never hoped to have sand in, Sol stood up and cursed like a sailor in his mind for a few minutes straight.
Calming down, he took off his suit and everything else, shook them to get off the sand and simply put his pants back on. For the top, he had decided to just have the shirt that was under the suit.
The scales helped him, but that suit was really useless.
”Okay, let's see how lucky I am.”
His body could theoretically handle a lack of food for a few days. He did not know how long he could last.
As such, he simply decided to lay back down on the sand, added a very light layer of mana on his body to add some protection without exceeding his mana regeneration speed, used his shirt as a cushion, curled up and---closed his eyes.
Since either way he was going to die, might as well not make any efforts, before sleeping, he did not forget to mumble,
”I really wonder what Luxuria will do when she hears that her Blessed died like that. Heh, same for Tiamat. Oh, I also remember that Ambrosia is my mother-in-law.”
He then fell asleep with a smirk on his face.

”That rascale…”
A voluptuous woman with vermillion hair chortled as she watched the amusing scene through a floating mirror and heard those words.
Standing next to her, her daughter, Nephthys, gave a little smile,
”It seems like he understood we couldn't do much to him.”
Gabriel could only give a bitter smile, ”Indeed, everything aside, Tiamat would go crazy if she heard that I bullied her grandson. At the same time, that ambrosia dotes on her daughter like a mother hen. I really can't go too far with this.”
As Sol deducted, the current territory entirely belonged to Gabriel.
Even though she was in no way omniscient while here, she could still easily observe every corner. What's more, how could she not have felt divine power tearing apart the dimensional walls and entering her world?
That was why she had been observing Sol since the moment he entered and she had to say,
”He is pretty interesting. Though I find the way he acted a little shameless.”
As the herald of purity and chastity, Gabriel loved stories of heroes struggling against all adversities until they finally succeeded.
Initially, Sol should have landed in her palace, but she had slightly deviated the coordinates so that he landed a few hundred kilometers away from the city.
At the same time, she had tweaked the spatial laws so that no matter which path he took, he would find the city after a few days of walking.
But he broke all her plans in the simplest way, by refusing to move.
Had it been anyone else, she would have simply left them to die, but as he said, she really couldn't afford it.
And she knew that Tiamat already awoke and was waiting excitedly for her grandson, if she took too long, the dragon would come here and the two of them would most likely fight.
”You seem pretty happy.”
”Hehehe!” Nephthys, was indeed pretty happy, ”I don't need my daughter to follow a hero. Anubis always told me that heroes were the ones who died the fastest. That was why he chose to become a villain.”
Gabriel let out another sigh, of course, how could anyone get the moniker of Necromancer King by acting like a kind and gentle hero?
Anubis was the one furthest from what a hero should be. Back then, during the holy war, the number of people who died under his undead calamities was simply too much to count.
When he tried to create the underworld, he fought against some of the divine beasts and in the end, fled after sealing the divine beasts of Gluttony, Greed and Temperance.
A fact that had been deeply hidden in the waves of history. After all, for the divine beasts, such a defeat was a stain in their history.
Scrunching her eyebrows, Gabriel looked at the young man sleeping peacefully under the scorching sun and decided to try one last thing before transporting him here.
In this world, evil or justice were a matter of perspective.
What stayed true for everyone though—was strength.
”Sol Dragona Luxuria, let's see how strong you truly are.”
(AN: Sol first used those scales during his fight in the coliseum against the four gladiators. Though currently they aren't really scale in the truest form. Imagine more Natsu scales at the start of fairy tail during the Erza vs Jelhal arc. Also, once again Anubis is supposed to be mc of a prequel called Son of the demon king. So he is pretty busted.
By the way, I am currently creating a WordPress blog. Though I suck big time at shit like this so it may take a while for everything to be ready. That and posting SHK and Gojo from CH 1 to the latest one there. Anyway once everything is ready I will warn you guys Because after this I might slow down my release on WN and Scribble and focus on my blog. Will have to decide. So I will keep you up to date.)
