The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 424

As expected of Planet Royal, even its night sky seemed like a dream. Suddenly, David's mind power felt a dazzling energy like the sun approaching him.

David smiled and said, “Since His Majesty is here, why don't you show yourself?"

"Not bad! David, you found me. I think Gammy's right. You are indeed not a fool.” a deep voice and echo through the ears of David and Mia.

Unbeknownst to them, a middle-aged man was sitting opposite David. Mia felt her brain muddled as she looked at the middle-aged man who had appeared out of nowhere.

‘What does David call him?

Her Majesty?

Your Majesty! Your Highness Emperor Nimbus of the Milky Way Empire?

The strongest man in the Milky Way?

Such a legendary figure was in front of me now?'

Mia felt like she was going to faint. Back then, seeing someone like Emperor Nimbus would burn one's eyes. He was like the sun, shining down on the Milky Way and conquering all the highest powers.

“Mia greets you, Your Highness!” Mia regained her senses and knelt on the ground, greeting respectfully.

“It's enough. You can get up. His Majesty is not present tonight, only Astrid's father, Nimbus. I'm here as Astrid's father.” Nimbus shook his hand and said.

‘Thank you, Your Highness.” Mia got up and stood behind David.

He did not dare to sit. How many people in the Milky Way would dare to sit next to Emperor Nimbus?

She looked at David. He saw that he had no intention of waking up. He sat there quietly and looked at the strongest man in the Milky Way with a smile.

‘That's Emperor Nimbus!' Mia's confused.

He did not know if David had forgotten his manners after too long leaving the Royal Territory or if there was any other reason for his behavior. How could he be so calm facing the Emperor?

After living with him for so long, Mia did not think David was crazy.

‘She's pretty normal, right?

Why does he look so crazy now?

Didn't the emperor remain Emperor even though he said he was here as Astrid's father?

Did David not take the Emperor seriously?'

Mia wanted to remind David of this, but she didn't think it was appropriate for him to speak up.

'What should I do?‘ Mia was very worried.

They would be devastated if David offended the Emperor and upset him. Mia did not know that David had reached a portion of the Eternal Realm and was on the same level as Emperor Nimbus. Of course, David would not be humble if faced with someone of his level. Also, David's power will soon rise again. When that happened, the Emperor might have to bow whenever he met David.

The difference between a portion of the Eternal Realm and the Eternal Realm was more significant than between the previous realms. If David manages to break through, he will be immortal. Even Emperor Nimbus had to address someone at the Eternal Realm master respectfully.

This is a world where strength is of the utmost importance. Mia knew David was mysterious, but even so, was he stronger than the emperor?

Of course, he wasn't the only one who felt this way. Everyone who knew David would not think he was on a par with the Emperor.

“David, you're pretty good. You are the only one among the young people in the Milky Way who is so relaxed and calm when you meet me.” Nimbus said.

Nimbus lamented internally when he saw David grinning at him. In addition to other factors, David will have a bright future based on how disobedient or conceited he is when facing Nimbus.

Not many people would smile like this as they sat face to face with Nimbus in the Milky Way. Even among the elders, no one, including Grandmasters of great powers, would dare to do this.

“Lord Barlowe, you're too good. Didn't you say His Majesty isn't here, and you're just here as Astrid's father? Since I'm friends with Astrid, I don't need to be afraid of you, do I, Mr Barlowe?" david said with a smile.

His emotions did not change because of Nimbus. In addition, David hides his original powers by using the system. Nimbus would not have said this if he had known David's true power.

David would never divulge all of his trade secrets and show his trump card too early. Behind David, Mia's gaze darkened as she heard what she said. If so, David really took what the emperor said seriously.

‘Your Excellency is just being polite, but why is David so unconscious?

I think he has forgotten the basic etiquette after exploring for too long.'

Right now, Mia felt her future darken. However, since he decided to follow David, he would not leave because of this. Mia decided to talk to David about this after the Emperor left so that she would no longer make stupid mistakes like this.

"Looky! Ha ha ha ha! Uncle Barlowe? David, you surprised me. You have a fearless heart at such a young age, so it's no wonder you have this level of strength right now. In addition, you will have unlimited achievements in the future!” Nimbus laughed out loud.

He had been observing David ever since he got here and was trying to guess who David was. However, Nimbus had not found anything wrong with David until now. If David was a spy for the Sinner Sangruil, he wouldn't be so relaxed when he meets Nimbus. Not even Grandmasters would have such a strong heart, let alone a youngster like David.

“Lord Barlowe, stop praising me. You can't praise me too much, or I'll be full of myself. You should have a reason to come here tonight, right?" David asked the question he was in.

He knew Nimbus did not want Astrid to know about his visit, which was why he had come here this time. He tried to avoid Princess Astrid.

Mia doesn't want to stay here anymore. He would feel like an arrow had shot him every time David said something. He found it hard to breathe.

'David! The person in front of you is the emperor of the Milky Way Empire! Can't you be more humble and speak well?

Other than Empress Gamora and Princess Astrid, the only person in the Milky Way who dared to speak to Nimbus in such a tone was Wilfred, who was hiding in the darkness. Other than the three, I guess no fourth person would dare to act like this.'

David is now the fourth individual. Of course, those Sangruil Sinners were the exception. Nimbus surprised . He had not expected David to speak to him in such a tone.

'Fools are not afraid of anything!'

“David, I did come here for a reason.”

"Please tell me, Mr. Barlowe. I'll do my best as long as it's within my means."

“I have some questions for you, and I hope you can be honest with me.”

After Nimbus said that, his face turned serious before David could answer him. Then, he looked at David seriously and asked.

"David, who are you?”

David was confused by the question.

“Why do you ask that , Mr Barlowe?”

Mia's soul left her body after Nimbus' expression changed. His hands and feet began to tremble. He thought, ‘Oh no! Oh no! David has angered His Majesty. What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? Yes, Princess Astrid! Only he can save David now. But how can I tell Princess Astrid?'

“David, Astrid is deadlocked when she's in danger. As I went to save her, King Moe of Sangruil stopped me, and for a split second I thought Astrid would not survive. Why did you show up at such a coincidental time? You save her so easily and get on her good side. He's obsessed with you now. Don't you think this is too coincidental?" nimbus asked as he looked straight at David.

Nimbus thought David would show a big reaction, regardless of whether he was troubled or not. However, he was only slightly surprised before smiling helplessly.

Then, he replied, “Master Barlowe, do you think I saved Princess Astrid because I had ulterior motives?”

“Really? If not, how can you explain that coincidence?"

"How can I explain this coincidence to you? If I were to approach His Majesty using this tactic, wouldn't that make me a Sangruil Sinner?"

“We suspect you are a spy for the Sinner Sangruil who was sent there to infiltrate the empire. Since you didn't have the chance to take action elsewhere, you decided to take action against Astrid."

"Mr Barlowe, your suspicions are unfounded. I just sent you a Fergus monster that relies on the Sangruil Sinner and fuses with the Nine-Headed Snake gene. Why am I suddenly a Sangruil Sinner myself?” david said bitterly.

He never thought it would be doubted like that. But he thought it was reasonable for Nimbus to doubt him after thinking about it. The main reason was because David showed up just in time.

The Sangruil Sinners had not shown themselves for centuries, yet they reappeared when David arrived in the Royal Territory. Anyone would suspect.

"That's why we're a little unsure. The Empire has examined Fergus, and he has fused perfectly with the Nine-Headed Snake gene. According to what we know, this is rare for Sangruil Sinners, which means he has the intelligence of the future. Moreover, the Callisto family hid it so well that the empire did not suspect them. The Empire has now obliterated them, all thanks to you. If you use the Callisto family to gain our trust, then I imagine the price is too high for the Sinners Sangruil.” said Nimbus puzzled.

Not long ago, the Azure Dragon and White Tiger Internal Halls had obliterated the Callisto family. They are indeed siding with the Sinners of Sangruil.

When the Halls invade the Callisto family, they find many of the core seniors of Sinner Sangruil hiding inside the Callisto family. This was definitely a heavy blow to the Sangruil Sinners.

After learning about the Callisto family, Nimbus knows David's chances of becoming a Sangruil Sinner are close to zero. However, he kept asking this question to see how David would answer it.

"Mr Barlowe. I really can't explain this to you. I crossed paths with someone who was chasing the Fairy Dance when I arrived in the Royal Region, and shortly after, I met someone who was chasing after Princess Astrid. I feel helpless too. I would feel guilty if I didn't save them, but if I saved them, I would give myself a lot of unnecessary trouble. What do you think I should do? To whom can I complain?” david said helplessly.

“David, I'm sorry to have inconvenienced you.” said Mia apologized behind David.

“It's okay. Mia, you don't have to apologize. Although I didn't want to be bothered at first, you helped me a lot afterwards. You made things a lot easier for me when I arrived in the Royal Region. Otherwise, I won't hold you.” David comforting.

“David, even though I don't think you're a Sangruil Sinner, I have no choice but to be suspicious as this has something to do with Astrid. That's why I have to be careful about this. Tell me about your experience in detail. You must start from the moment you start forming memories to the present to prove your innocence.”

David finds this difficult.

'How should I tell him about my experience?

I can't!

I can't tell him the truth. I come from a living primitive planet, and I cannot tell him how I got to this stage. Besides, it's unrealistic for me to make it up.'

Nimbus is not like Astrid. If David were to make it up, it would soon prove to be a fake. If so, he will be harmed. Although David was not afraid of Nimbus, it would be best to avoid any possible problems.

He did not want to be caught in a stalemate with the empire. After all, David would side with the empire if he were to choose between the empire and the half-human, half-beast Sangruil Sinners.

Nimbus wanted to know David's background by asking this. Maybe he's already looking into David. Since David was not from the Royal Region but a primitive original planet, they would not find anything even if he suddenly appeared in the Royal Region.

This was why Nimbus asked him this. David racked his brain, but he could not find a suitable explanation. He could only refuse that request.

"Sorry, Mr. Barlowe. Everyone has a secret, and I'm sure you have one too. Moreover, my experience was a bit special, so I can't tell you about it. Please stop asking me to share this.”

“How can I trust you then?

Or rather, how can you prove your innocence?" ask Nimbus.

“I've reached this stage, so what can I do if you still don't trust me? Anyway, I can't prove anything.” David spread his hand and said reluctantly.

“David, I am not satisfied with your answer.” said Nimbus, his face darkened.

“Because you are dissatisfied, should I leave the Royal Region? I will not participate in the battle between you and the Sinner Sangruil. I also promise to never return to the Royal Region to see Princess Astrid. We'll never interfere with each other's lives again."

"Do you think I'll let you go now that you didn't explain yourself?”

”Mr Barlowe, please stop forcing me. I've contributed to the empire by bringing Fergus to Planet Royal for you, haven't I? Do you now want to prevent me from leaving? How does that make sense?" david said cynically.

The two are talking to each other right now. On one hand, Mia was very nervous. He was worried that Nimbus would kill David if he was unhappy.

“David, I'm not forcing you. The Sangruil Sinners suppressed and threatened us after working with the Nine Head Serpent Clan of the Beast Galaxy. If we are not careful, everyone in the Milky Way will be affected, and there will be unimaginable fatalities. You should know that the Nine Head Serpent Clan likes to eat humans, as this can help them grow quickly. If Sinner Sangruil gets the right to rule the Milky Way, humans will become the food of the Nine Head Serpent.” Clan explained Nimbus suddenly.

He doesn't know why he's doing this. Logically, Nimbus had to complicate the life of David the bastard because David dared to talk to him like that. However, Nimbus' intuition tells him that it is better not to start a conflict with David.
