Constantine was frozen on the spot, and he hadn't moved for a long time. It took a while for the words Ruger had spoken to finally register in his brain and once it did, his first reaction was, "You're messing with me, aren't you?"
"How it is possible that of all the places Baron could be in, it just had to be in the one place that humans could not possibly survive in for a long period of time and that we just so happened to coincidentally arrive here with him?"
"Even if you want to sell that to me, and not that I am buying it in the first place, but suppose what you say is true and Baron is in fact in this world how can you be so sure that he is still himself and his body had not yet been possessed by your psycho friend Vader?"
"Hmm... how do you explain that?"
Constantine questioned Ruger in doubt. It was not his fault that he was unwilling to accept Ruger's words as the truth, and it was only natural that he would have some doubt and reservations a
"Listen here, old man, no matter what the reason is, forcing people to stay together for the rest of your life is the ultimate recipe for disaster. Believe me, on earth, there are so many examples of people who tried to force others to be with them and it did not go well for either party. Sure, there may be some people who are willing to endure such kind of treatment. But there are also others who would not tolerate such things and would go crazy and take matters into their own hands and do whatever they can to break free.""If it is sympathy you're looking for from me then you're not getting any because you don't deserve it neither am I really interested in the story between you and Vader. what I just want to know is how any of these concerns me and what it has to do with Baron being here?"Humph!Ruger snorted in displeasure at Constantine's complete disregard for him. He didn't want to bother with him, but when he thought about what he was about to say to him
"So you're trying to tell me that Vader masterminded the whole thing just so he could kill you and break from the life bound contract at the same time? And in order to stop him from succeeding, you also decided to follow along with his plan, despite not knowing if something might go wrong?" "In the end, me and my friend Baron became collateral damage to the two of you, but neither of you succeeded after all this. Instead, you both got your souls devoured by the very people you wanted to possess, and the cause of all this is probably because of the contract you both wanted to get rid of in the first place." "Hahaha!" Constantine suddenly burst out into wild laughter as he imagined how everything had happened from the moment Ruger and Vader fought a decisive battle to the death to the moment when they attempted to possess Constantine and Baron only for it to fail because of the very reason that caused them to fight in the first place. The irony of every
Constantine was surprised at the sudden change in the cloud world, but he didn't have time to focus on it. Instead, he quickly ignored these changes and tried to sense that feeling that Ruger was talking about.It took a while for Constantine to be able to get a sense of that feeling. But after concentrating for a long time, Constantine vaguely felt a sensation that was completely foreign to him.This sensation was similar to how one would feel when they had a rope tied to their waist while climbing down a cliff. The rope was what tied them to the top of the cliff. With it there, they would always be able to return to the top of the cliff.That was the kind of feeling Constantine had right now as he tried to sense the depths of his soul and consciousness. He felt like there was a rope tethering him to something far into the distance.Constantine tried to follow the tether to know what was on the other side of the connection. sensing carefully, Constantine
"Why am I finding it harder to understand what you are saying?" Constantine asked Ruger in annoyance. He was genuinely finding it difficult to understand the point Ruger was trying to make sense he wasn't speaking straightforwardly.Exasperated, Ruger said, "It's because you're stupid and ignorant. That is why...""Do I have to tell you everything before you will understand? Can't you think for a moment... I thought you were supposed to be smart?"Helpless, Ruger could only explain directly, "Listen to brat, me, you, Vader, and your friend. The four of us are connected together, both directly and indirectly, by the life-bound contract of my clan. Unfortunately, this connection is not as strong as it used to be due to come circumstances. But it is still there, which means we can still receive some feedback through the connection from either side.""For example, you should remember dreaming of a place that was surrounded by a lot of fog where you were pursu
Back on earth, Constantine's disappearance had already been discovered, and a search was currently going on for him throughout the city. It had already been more than six hours since Constantine disappeared, but he was yet to be found till now. This caused his parents to be incredibly anxious and worried.The more time passed and Constantine's whereabouts were not yet found, the more worried his parents became and started to fear that the worst had happened to him. The thing that troubled Constantine's parents the most was that they didn't know how he had disappeared in the first place.There was no trace anywhere that suggested Constantine was kidnapped, or that he had left on his own. Nobody had been seen coming and going from his room and none of the experts that had been hired by Constantine's parents had noticed anything abnormal.With the advent of the dooms invasion where supernatural forces continued to spring up constantly on earth and things were no lo
Constantine's family and Erza listened attentively to what the bespectacled man was about to say."After sensing the spatial fluctuation, we were able to stabilize it and prevent it from completely disappearing so that it would be easy to study. Upon studying it, we were able to actually notice a remnant trace of a crack in space that is caused as a result of space being torn open and a rift forming. This phenomenon is very similar to how the spatial rifts leading to the doom world are formed."After saying all that, the bespectacled man paused and looked at Constantine's family only to see a look of shock and surprise, just as he had expected.The bespectacled man was not surprised to see them like that because anybody that heard what he just said would also have the same expression as them right now. When he too and the rest of his team made their discovery, they had also developed such an expression on their faces. This was understandable, since the implicati
Very quickly, Constantine's mother was put under control...Fan hurried back from the study in the apartment with the medicine that was used to calm her down and put her to sleep. As for Erza, she was rushing back from the kitchen with a bottle of water gotten from the fridge and a bowl filled with water from the sink. In her hurry, Erza had spilled a lot of water on her clothes, causing her to appear disheveled. But she didn't seem to care as she hurried to deliver theater to Constantine's father.When the medicine and water were delivered to him, Constantine's father hurriedly picked them up before turning to the bespectacled man that was standing in a corner and watching the show.Speaking curtly, Constantine's father immediately orders authoritatively."Don't just stand there and look... come and help me!"Hearing Kaiden's command, the bespectacled man reacted unconsciously and went to help them in keeping Beatrice under control."Hold h
Kaiden did not waste time, as he quickly settled his wife down in a guest bedroom before heading back to the living room.As soon as Kaiden returned, he looked at the Fan and Erza who were standing in one corner silently. seeing as they were doing alright, he shifted his gaze to the bespectacled man who was still resting.Not caring at all that the bespectacled man was tired, Constantine's father quickly approached him and said, "now you continue what you were saying before.""Were where we... ah, right, you suspected that the spatial rift that appeared in my son's room was artificially created. This means that there was foul play afoot in the disappearance of my son, right? Why do you think so?"The bespectacled man felt resentful when Kaiden started questioning him, without giving him any time to rest. Being unable to complain, he could only brace himself to answer Kaiden's questions."That's right, sir...""It is indeed, as you heard. The
