THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 260 Lance's Flawless Plan

Princess Shayana said, " By the time I learned Lance's intentions it was too late. So I contacted the mysterious Voice who appears after anyone awakened their Inner Will for the first time.."

"Mysterious Voice?" , Arjun asked.

Princess Shayana replied, " It's that mysterious voice who asks us to make a choice between Gate of Light or the Gate of Darkness."

"Oh! You mean that old bas*ard!" , Arjun said, " I remember."

"Old Bas*ard?" , Princess Shayana and others were stunned.

Princess Shayana said, "Uh....Well... Yes. That supreme existence. I made a deal with him. I asked him to give me a power that could save us from Lance's clutch. But that supreme existence said that I had to depend on myself. I cannot take his help. He said that if I give up on my responsibilities as the Universe Will, he will help me."

Princess Shayana said, " Then I had to agree to his terms. I gave up on my power as the Universe Will. In return he created that sword using all our souls. He extracted our souls and created the sword. Then he threw the sword far away from us. He told that one day a person will come and rescue us. We need to pay our utmost respects to that person. And today you came and rescued us."

"Is that the reason why you people were so respectful towards me?" , Arjun asked.

"Yes." , All eight of them replied.

Arjun lost in his thoughts,

[So that's how it is?]

[That old bas*ard took away the power of Universe Will from Princess Shayana in exchange for that sword's creation.]

[ He extracted their soul and created that sword]

[ Then both him and Lord Chaos waited for the candidate who can release them.]

[Lord Chaos put me in this Universe because of that promise made by the Ancient Universe Will.]

[He wanted me to solve the curse and turn them back to their former selves.]

[With this, the promise of the Ancient Universe Will could be fulfilled. At the same time my test would come to an end.]

[No wonder why my mission was to only solve the mystery of the sword.]

[It wasn't to solve the curse.]

Arjun finally understood everything. He asked, " Then who is this King of the Underworld?"

Princess Shayana said, " The King of the underworld is someone with whom my brother made a deal with. The G.o.d of the Underworld is an High G.o.d! After death the souls would naturally go to even heaven or h.e.l.l. It depends on their karma when they were alive. But the G.o.d of the Underworld is someone who could do anything with the souls. So he plant some seeds in the world and make them to follow his dark and sinister teachings and understandings. Then he make them to capture the souls of the innocent people and send them to his domain. My brother was one of those puppets of the G.o.d of the Underworld. And so is that Curse Dragon."

Princess Shayana continued, " As the G.o.d of the Underworld, he has the wide knowledge about the souls. One day that sword which was created using our souls, fell in one of the envoys of the G.o.d of the Underworld. Then the G.o.d of the Underworld understood that it was created using our souls. He tried to devour our souls from the sword. But how could the sword that was created by the Supreme existence be that easy to crack. So he failed to devour our souls."

Princess Shayana continued, " He not only failed to devour our souls, but that sword hurt him. He screamed in pain. Later after he recovered from the pain, he threw the sword from his domain. That sword then fell in front of a merchant. Then the merchant sold the sword to the Pavilion Lord of the Galaxy Pavilion."

Arjun sighed. There was no need for Princess Shayana to continues any further. Arjun knew what happened next. Lance got the news about the sword which was in the possession of the Galaxy Pavilion. He might have learnt that the sword was created using the souls of all eight of the people standing in front of him. So he made the business deal with the Galaxy Pavilion's Pavilion Lord in exchange for the offer of the immortality.

But the pavilion lord was as greedy as Lance. He demanded 5 billion gold coins along with the immortality. But Lance made a plan. He asked to send the sword by sealing it in the painting of Princess Shayana. The painting was sent through the hands of Ben and his two other friends. Then Lance's people disguised as bandits and attacked Ben. Their plan was to destroy the painting which would break the seal and the sword would appear. The sword was supposed to brought back to Lance.

Lance would not required to pay anything. There was no need to pay 5 billion gold coins. There was no need to give any immortality to the Pavilion Lord of the Galaxy Pavilion. He would get the sword for free. At the same time he could s.h.i.+ft the blame on the Galaxy Pavilion for their carelessness and break the deal.

But against his expectations I came into the picture. I killed his people who disguised themselves as bandits and took the sword with me. He waited patiently and had the intentions to plant the spies in my pavilion. But I didn't announce any recruitment program. So he decided to act himself with force. But he didn't know how that sword holder looks like. That's why he didn't recognise that the sword with me.

At the same time the Galaxy Pavilion also waited patiently. I already wrecked their Pavilion. So they feared my power. They don't want to mess with me. So they kept an eye on my every movements. When they learned that I am going to open a Pavilion, they planned to send some spies. But as I didn't announce any recruitment program, they started to get restless. After all, the sword is in my hands. If I gave away the sword to the Royal Bloodline and got the support of the Royal family, my Pavilion would flourish and become one of the best pavilion in the entire kingdom. If that happens then they would be mad. After all, they paid 15 billion sword for the sword. If I benefitted from their deal, then they would lose the 15 billion gold coins for no reason.

Before such thing happens they decided to take someone from my pavilion as the hostage in exchange for the sword. I came to the Wavery Hills alone. They got the perfect chance to capture Ben and his group. That's why they sent Madame Denma to capture my people.

Arjun sighed. He looked at Princess Shayana and asked, " What do you want to do now?"

"I want to kill Lance!" , Princess Shayana replied.

Arjun said, " Then Let's go!"
