Capítulo 1403: Use It On Me

“I’d like to use my Heavenly Ability on the empress, the queen, and the two guardians.”

Johnson dropped his jaw after hearing his request. He couldn’t help raising his voice. “Are you insane?”

His request was definitely presumptuous. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be killed immediately because of treason.

On the other hand, the emperor simply remained silent. He was surprised but considered this request calmly.

The emperor muttered, “I have always thought you have something special, but I guess this can only be explained by Heavenly Abilities. So, you are also a possessor of a Heavenly Ability…”

Nathan nodded. “Yes.”

The emperor paused for a moment before raising two questions. “Before answering your request, would you kindly answer two questions?”

“If it’s not something excessive.” Nathan nodded. He didn’t want to answer something excessive if the emperor was simply going to say no.

Then again, if he wanted to reject him, the empire would definitely love to have Nathan back. And the magic weapon would definitely be used by them.

Knowing the empire’s characteristics, the empire would most likely use the magic weapon to suppress the dynasty.

So, it wasn’t wise to reject Nathan either. That was why Nathan accepted his two questions, knowing that the chance of this emperor accepting his request was very high.

The emperor explained, “I have told you about my Heavenly Ability before. I’m able to see everything. That’s why I’m able to see something special in you.

“Originally, I couldn’t determine what that is, but after you admitted your Heavenly Ability, I finally understood what makes you special.

“In fact, the cloud-repelling device must be built using your Heavenly Ability, yes?”

“Is that the first question?” Nathan asked.

“Indeed.”

“Yes,” Nathan answered after receiving the confirmation.

“That’s why no one can replicate it if they want. On the other hand, from the magic gun you presented to me, I realized there was something different between the two. The magic gun releases a chump of ena while the cloud-repelling device releases wind.

“In other words, the cloud-repelling device can be replicated as long as we use normal ena instead of the element.

“However, if your Heavenly Ability is related to elements, I couldn’t imagine how that Heavenly Ability could figure out whether someone is affiliated with the Death Society or not. This is my second question, or more like a request.

“Can you explain how your Heavenly Ability works to me so that I can judge whether I will allow you to use it upon them or not?”

Nathan arranged the words in his mind so as not to lie to the emperor but at the same time not to expose the whole truth.

After a minute, Nathan opened his mouth. “My Heavenly Ability is quite unique. It is in the form of a contract. Once bound by the contract, you have to follow this contract unconditionally.

“Hence, I plan to set up contracts with the four people I mentioned, requesting their clarification as well as their affiliation.

“There are no aftereffects. In fact, she has also experienced the power of the contract.” Nathan extended his hand to Evelyn. “Her original name was Evelyn Lavender. However, her name has been changed by my power to Evelyn Reckmoon, which is my family name. If you call her by her original name, you will understand its power.”

“Is that so?” The emperor squinted his eyes and chose to try it himself. “Evelyn Lavender.”

Just like the people from the Liaystian Kingdom, the moment the emperor called her original name, there was a sudden sense of loss. It wasn’t as powerful as the people from the Liaystian Kingdom, as the emperor didn’t know about her identity before coming to this continent, but it was certain something had happened with her name.

“This is… a bit magical.” He was a bit speechless. Then again, the Heavenly Ability was supposed to be magical. If the power was not separated, the Heavenly Ability that he was supposed to inherit was the Eye of Truth. It was capable of seeing everything as well as looking at fate.

But the ability had been split in two as the latter was given to the queen.

The emperor understood the unique usage of the Soul Contract. Since Nathan mentioned a contract, it meant the two parties had to agree. That was why he considered it a big flaw. He couldn’t force anyone to comply if they didn’t sign the contract.

Of course, the real Soul Contract was much more versatile. Nathan just wanted him to think it wasn’t as good to avoid the emperor coveting his Heavenly Ability.

The emperor asked, “I can get the gist of your Heavenly Ability. I personally don’t mind if you want to use that power on others, but there is a little request I hope you can comply with.”

“A request?” Nathan frowned. The emperor had been demanding a little too much. So, Nathan didn’t want to accept his request right away. “I’ll decide after hearing about this request.”

“I want you to use your Heavenly Ability on me first.” The emperor decided to drop a bomb.

Nathan, Evelyn, and Johnson’s eyes were wide open.

“Your Majesty. That’s too dangerous! You can’t do that.” Johnson panicked. He couldn’t expose the emperor to any harm.

However, the emperor waved his hand, explaining, “First of all, by using it on me, I will be able to experience its power. This way, I will know whether this will harm my people or not.

“In addition, won’t it be good for you? If you can truly extract the truth, I, as the emperor, can let you know that I’m not a part of this conspiracy. Do you think I didn’t know that you were doubting me before?”

“That’s…” Johnson couldn’t answer.

The emperor continued, “If I know I can’t tell anything but the truth, it means I can know whether my people are telling the truth or not.

“That’s why I want you to accept this request. Ignore Johnson for now.”

“Your Majesty.” Johnson panicked.

Nathan, on the other hand, respected the emperor a bit more. He was daring and bold but wasn’t afraid of putting himself at risk to protect his close ones.

“I accept.”
