Chapter 238: Getting everyone under his command Ethan instantly became a tier 17 existence. The moment he transformed, he released his pressure on those 123 people in front of him. Boom! Every one of them fell to the ground and could not even move a muscle. No matter which realm they were in, the pressure of a higher being always worked the same way. Like a tier 2 suppressing a tier 1. Normally, a life form of tier 16 was basically a being of law, every part of their body transformed into law. They were the very embodiment of law. But a higher being was someone who transcended that level. So it did not matter. The pressure suppression was always the same. "What? How is this possible? How can there be someone this strong? We are the absolute rulers of this world, how can there be someone stronger than us? This is simply not possible." This was the only thought in their minds at that time. In the dimension where the Adventurer Guild was located, the guild master opened his eyes and looked at Ethan. "Oh? He is a tier 17? Why did I not feel anything then? He should be around tier 15 in strength, but his realm is even lower. Now that I think of it, I could not even perceive his realm at that time. I only knew his strength because he told me so. Who is this boy? What is his origin? Is he someone from that reality? That is a possibility." Ethan calmly looked at them and said, "I will ask one more time. Are you going to serve under me or not? Or else I will just kill all of you. I have other methods too. But if you accept, you will have to serve for 1 year." They gulped down hard. This man was serious. The tier 16 monster who attacked them before was a servant of his and was created from a special type of energy. They had a bad feeling that this man could turn them into something like that. One of them wanted to answer but his muscles were locked, so he could not do it. Ethan looked at him and released his pressure. The moment he was freed, he replied hurriedly, "I accept." And as soon as one broke down, the others followed as usual. Ethan released their pressure and they all accepted one by one. Now all the tier 16 were under his command. Now he needed to find out the location of their worlds and attack them. At this early phase, everyone was still planning to use their brains to gain power and influence. Then they would start attacking after a year. That should have been the case in normal days. But Ethan was not normal. His entire existence was abnormal, so expecting something normal from him would be foolish. And as he was abnormal, he would do something abnormal too. Who the heck had time to look for clues, when he had his system that knew everything? "Cough, cough, system, tell me the coordinates of those worlds." [Sigh! Master, if you wanted to cheat, why bother participating in the first place?] "What do you mean cheat? Ethan Hunt never cheats. Do not talk too much. It was your fault that I lost my interest in this trial." [What did I do?] "You told me about the prime reality. Now I do not want to waste time in these childish games." [But that was what you asked, I did not do anything.] "Okay, enough chit chat. Now give the locations." [Sure! Here are the locations.] Soon, every coordinate of the worlds where those participants were came into Ethan’s mind. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 "Now list them according to weak to strong worlds." He would attack the weaker ones first. Ethan looked at everyone and said, "We are going to attack a world. Be prepared." They were stunned. "Right now? Which world?" Ethan looked at them coldly, "No need to ask questions. Just be ready for a devastating world." "Yes sir," they replied. Ethan nodded at them. He wanted to stay here and create a good army, but now that was not needed. Ethan looked at a man from those tier 16 life forms. The man was a serpent in human form. "You are the World Serpent?" The man replied calmly, "Yes sir. I am the World Serpent." Ethan nodded and snapped his fingers. Suddenly Alex appeared in front of him. But the moment he arrived, he fell to the ground and puked blood. The aura of this place was apocalyptic. Alex died instantly. "Oho, I am sorry." Ethan then used his domain on him and used heal to make him new again. The World Serpent looked at Alex and said in a surprised tone, "This child bears my bloodline. How is this possible? Is this destiny? I was suffering from not having an heir and here he is." Ethan nodded, "Yes. And that is why many enemies are behind him." Instantly the man’s eyes turned into serpent eyes, just like Alex’s when he entered battle mode. "Who would dare to become the enemy of the heir of mine? Sir, I am guessing it is not you." Ethan smiled, "You are correct. Alex is the general of my kingdom. Okay, that was just a gentle reminder I wanted to give you. Now let us move." Alex felt like everything he was watching was a dream. If not a dream, then how could you explain the absurd situation he was in? The pressure had instantly killed him, he was sure about that. But now he was definitely alive. Then the bloodline pressure he was getting from that man was immense, like a drop of water standing in front of an ocean. And he also heard the conversation. The man was referring to him as his heir. And those eyes of his, how could he not recognize them? So you were telling him that now he was in front of the World Serpent himself and that mythical being was being so respectful toward the King? This had to be a dream. There was no other option. Ethan then again snapped his fingers and Alex vanished.
