World System Among Gods novel Chapter 13

The system seals the spoken words so Ares can't hear them. Time keeps running. Without realising it, the sun was already on the western horizon, indicating that the day would soon end and be replaced with night.

Finally, Ares can absorb and master the essence of the element of darkness in the cave. Seeing his success, Dorgan is finally able to smile happily.

"Father's inheritance has found such a suitable being to inherit all of his power after a hundred years." Dorgan chuckled when he saw the aura of pure darkness seeping out of Ares’ body.

"Besides the white fire element, and the pure darkness element, it turns out that he is also the owner of the holy light element," he muttered when he saw the holy light coming out and blending with the dark aura emitting from Ares’ body.

“The absorption process is complete. Congratulations, master, you are now possessing the Element of Pure Darkness.”

[Mastering the element of pure darkness. The pure darkness element is 100 times stronger than the ordinary darkness element. Level up 50x >> Get +50,000,000 coins >> +500 points]

[Getting a chance to summon two subordinates]

[Dorgan and Dorson want to be master's followers.]

[Accept: Yes or No]

The continuous notification issued by the system made it difficult for Ares to speak. The pure darkness element certainly made him more substantial, but he doesn’t expect to get any other benefits from the system.

"This is probably what the saying means. One row of two or three islands is over." Ares smiled happily at the advantage he had just gotten.

"It hasn't been a day yet, but you have absorbed and mastered the element of pure darkness. By the way, who am I talking to?" The curious Dorgan immediately asked Ares’ identity.

"Master Dorgan, my name is Ares; I’m the village leader of Babylon. A village that is now equivalent to a small town. The village or future city I lead is not far from this cave, so when I was walking around the forest, I accidentally found this cave." he looks at his reflection because he sees something odd.

"Come out; how long are you going to hide, Dorson?"

He knows that there is a creature hiding in his shadow. And that is Dorson, and he is Dorgan’s younger brother. Black dragons can hide in someone's shadow because they have a skill that can do that.

A figure resembling Dorgan comes out of Ares’ shadow. That figure is Dorson, a black dragon whose form is the same as Dorgan. Their only difference is in the colour of the eyeballs. If Dorgan has red eyes, Dorson has blue eyes.

"Greetings, sir; I apologise if my presence in your shadow disturbs you." he bows his head respectfully.

"That's fine. However, I want to confirm something. Is it true that you guys want to be my followers?"

Without waiting long, both of them answer simultaneously. "We want to be your followers."

"System, confirm the answer Yes, and let them become my subordinates," he said to the system.

"Answer confirmed. Dorgan and Dorson have officially become your followers."

“Inside the storage pouches are hundreds of millions of platinum and tens of millions of gold nuggets. There are billions of platinum coins, while gold coins reach the 10 trillion mark. Apart from that, there are many other treasures, and I suggest you see that for yourself.”

“It is getting dark; master, you are expected to return to the city soon. Ashur, Hera, and the others are currently frantically searching for your present.”

The last notification makes Ares aware of his whereabouts, which no one knows. "About fortune-telling and everything else, I'll find out later. I'll better go home now." Ares said in his heart.

"Dorgan, Dorson, we are going to the territory that I lead." he said and only got the answer, "yes", in unison from the two figures in his image.

Not wanting to annoy those who might be looking for him, Ares immediately speeds off to return to the village of Babylon, which will soon be crowned the small city of Babylon. Meanwhile, far from where Ares founded the small town of Babylon. A woman is talking to four people who respectfully bow in front of the woman.

"You damn Emperor, how dare he let my Son disappear! Did he forget, without the support of the Imperial family, this is just trash." the woman screamed in anger.

Sharp eyes stare at the four grown men looking down in front of the women. "Search again and don't return until you find him! Muster half of the family's strength to find my son, and the rest, we will leave the empire tonight."

"He challenged me, and this is my answer." the woman smirked before covering her face again with a mask.

Four people had left without a trace or sound, leaving behind a woman so gracefully seated in her oversized chair.

“The lost soul has returned. Meanwhile, the substitute soul disappeared. I know you're fine, but at least show up and tell me where you are," the woman said with her eyes closed.
