Chapter 511: Plans to create a civil war
Steve's reminder jolted Mark's senses and almost made him slap his own forehead. "That's right. According to Fu Sheng, both of them and Song Tai were touring the Dragon Empire. There is a high chance that they will be attending the coronation ceremony too," His eyes lit up because of the good news and he made sure to thank his teenage son from the future, "Thank you.
This is actually the best time to act."
Mark no longer wasted the time.
He rose to his feet and walked to the podium in the center of the room where a white-orb-like thing was placed on top of it.
It wasn't an important treasure of something. It was merely the control system Mark created from his imagination when he re-modified the transformation of the divine throne.
Placing his hand on top of that white orb, Mark whispered, "Disable auto mode. Connect me with your eyes, and go at full speed.
In that instant, the spider ship suddenly accelerated to the maximum, achieving hypersonic speeds within ten seconds of time.
Thankfully, none inside felt that sudden burst of speed. Even Sylvandria didn't feel any change from a while ago.
If there is anything that caught her attention, it is Mark's actions.
Just like that, nearly 10,000 kilometers of distance was covered within an hour of time, when it usually takes around 5-7 days for high-tier ships used by the royal families to sail the ocean.
Before they even knew it, they already arrived at the skies above the shores of the Western Moon and the ship slowed down a bit as the sudden break would generate enough force to cause unnecessary heavy damage in the surroundings.
It took another hour to land at some remote location on the plains, roughly 200 kilometers away from the capital city.
There, Zheng, in its beast form, was seen waiting for them alongside an excited Xie Mei, a pale-faced Meng Tao, a shivering griffin that was tied to a medium-sized carriage.
Unsurprisingly, Song Yue and Shen Ling were astonished when they got out of the vehicle.
Song Yue commented as she covered her eyes with the back of her palm, "It was late in the evening when they started their journey but when they stepped out, the sun was burning brightly. Where are we?" She asked.
Shen Ling scanned her surroundings for a few seconds and replied, "It seems we are home."
"Eh? Already?" Song Yue looked at her.
Shen Ling simply pointed her finger at the others waiting for them, "It doesn't make sense for the guardian beast to travel far away from Vermilion bird continent, not to mention, with our friends. The ocean is nowhere to be seen and there is no big island enough with such mountains in between Western Moon and the Dragon Empire either.
The mountains that we are seeing far away must be part of Kunyu mountain range."
On the other hand, Sylvandria went down memory lane and remembered how she traveled on the magic carpet alongside Mark in the Ixitus Empire. It also traveled halfway around the world at great speeds.
She couldn't help but suspect that both were the same. After all, it is not a secret that some powerful Divine grade items have the ability to transform into things whatever they imagined in their heads.
At the same time, her gaze was fixed on the demigod realm beast standing before them.
"First, those two demigods, and now this? Just how many of them are in this world?" She thought to herself as she warily looked at the five-tailed leopard.
Shen Ling also seemed a bit uncomfortable around the beast, but Mark seemed like he couldn't care less about it.
As soon as they got down, Mark looked at the zheng and passed another telepathic message, "I'll return quickly. So, please look after them, Lan Ju."
As the zheng nodded, Mark bid goodbye to the ladies without giving them any sort of explanation on why he dropped in the middle of nowhere, merely stating that he had some urgent business to attend to. Steve was also asked to tag along with him.
The spider-ship flew at an altitude as high as 10 km as it moved in hypersonic speeds, making it appear like a shooting star for those who were lucky enough to catch a glimpse.
Within no time, the spider-ship eventually entered the skies of the Phoenix Empire's imperial city.
As Steve was looking at the imperial city through the glass window, Mark's voice entered his ears, "Okay, now is the time for you to go and abduct the target. Don't forget to knock him out, first."
"Uhh… what?" Steve abruptly turned around in surprise, "do you want me to go down? At such height?"
"You can fly, can't you?" Mark shrugged his shoulders.
"Dad, there are a lot of things, like thin atmosphere, high radiation levels from the sun during morning, the temperature will be like -50C here, ugh…" He shivered at the thought.
"You are a supreme being, Steve," replied Mark in a calm tone. "Theoretically, you will be fine even in the space. Don't be a coward. Now go…" He added.
"That's all and good but…" As Steve was trying to say something, Mark snapped his fingers.
An opening occurred right where the teenage boy was standing. A powerful gust of chilly wind hit the father and son, the former was unaffected due to Blizzard Pegasus bloodline but the latter shivered slightly. "So, cold…"
"Now, go…" Mark controlled the spider ship to tilt downwards, letting Steve fall from the vehicle.
"Ahhh…"
As Steve started falling down, the door was closed and Mark became connected with the ship to keep an eye on his son, just in case.
After free-falling at great speeds for a few seconds, Steve regained control over his body and started descending toward the city while ignoring the coldness.
Once he stopped feeling uncomfortable at 5km altitude, Steve halted his descent for a moment and raised his head to stare at the dot-like object in the sky, "Dad is seriously ruthless even to his own son. Well, I guess his personality hasn't changed much, unlike Mom. Maybe, it is not because of some incident but due to his personality rubbing off on her. Hmm… possible.
Anyway, let's get this matter over with."
He continued to descend with greater speed.
