Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

Damien smirked and said, "Why ask a question to which you already know the answer to?"

Farah gritted her teeth seeing that Godnim had no plans in removing the miniature ethereal formation from her.

"Don't look at me like that. It's not like you want to die, do you?" Damien asked with a certain glint in his eyes, making Farah hold her breath, thinking that it was better to not provoke this cunning person anymore.

"Fine. I will leave then!" Farah said though inwardly, she smiled as if she had a plan up her sleeves.

Damien looked at Yuria and Valentina and nodded as the two nodded back as well.

Farah, who was happily walking away, was surprised when Yuria and Alena stood before her, making her narrow her eyes skeptically, "What do you two want now?"

Valentina smirked while Yuira gave her a look of pity, making Farah suddenly realize that something was not right.

She immediately circulated her ethereal energy to use her movement technique to get out of here, but suddenly she coughed out blood, making her kneel on the floor.

She no longer was able to harness a strand of her ethereal energy and realized that her ethereal core got sealed, and the blood she coughed out was due to the backlash from suddenly stopping the flow of ethereal energy in her body.

Yuria and Valentina swiftly grabbed her hands and took off her spatial ring despite the futile resistance from Farah.

"What...is the meaning of this?!" Farah asked with an ugly expression as she twisted her head around to look at Godnim.

Damien smiled, "Don't be so surprised. You know I can't let you roam around free, especially when I am not here. I also can't kill you since I don't know what contingency plans you have prepared using your own life. So the only option left is to keep you as my prisoner."

Farah's expression fell as she never thought this guy would go so far as to put her under his leash.

"NO! Please don't! I won't betray you! You have this miniature ethereal formation on me. Why would I dare to go against you? B-Besides, I got you those Pandemonium Needles. I am more useful than you think! I can let you know more about the emperor's secrets," Farah desperately tried to prove herself as useful to Godnim so that he wouldn't imprison her, which was the worst thing that could happen to her.

Damien shook his head as he said, "The ones who say they won't betray are the first ones to betray. I won't deny that you could be useful, but it is far too risky for me. Don't worry. You have one of the important figures of the Forsaken to keep you company in the dungeon."

Farah's eyes widened when she learned that Godnim was also keeping someone else imprisoned though she couldn't guess why.

But she was more worried and angry about the fact that she walked herself into a trap by coming here and never expected Godnim to make such a cunning play though she had done worse.

Farah still didn't give up and said, "Do you realize how foolish this is? What do you think my status is? I am still the only wife of the first prince of this empire and also a trusted confidant of the Gale Emperor, as you know. The moment I go missing, there would be unrest throughout the empire, and not even the emperor would stop trying to find me. Everyone saw me entering this mansion, and if I don't go back out then, you are as good as dead."

Farah couldn't understand why Godnim would do something so stupid, especially by imprisoning her in the mansion of a prince.

Damien knew why she would think like that, but only he knew that all these things didn't matter to him and didn't feel like enlightening Farah.

So without a change in his expression, he confidently said, "Is that all? There is no need for you to know how I am going to handle these things. But as for you going missing, no worries. I will let everyone know that you ran away to betray the emperor. And he will only be angry about it and hunt for you somewhere else."

"Huh?" Farah wondered if she heard him right, but Godnim didn't seem like he was joking and that he meant every word though she couldn't understand how Godnim was going to make her appear as a traitor.

"You are crazy!" This was the only thing that came to Farah's mind since she literally couldn't think of how Godnim was going to pull this off. It only seemed like a madman's actions.

"Tristen!" Damien didn't want to entertain her anymore and called out for his slave, who immediately appeared inside the hall and bowed before Damien.

"Take her away, lock her up, and make sure she is fed once every month. For a Sky Ethereal Realm cultivator like her, getting a meal once a month is surely a luxury," Damien causally ordered, much to Farah's resentment and indignation.

When has she ever been treated like crap in this world? Even the lowliest servants would get at least two square meals a day. She was a proud imperial member with a status no less than a princess of the imperial family in this empire.

To be imprisoned already made her feel like she was going to lose her mind but to get treated like this, especially being in the care of a dead slave she had sex with, made her feel as if she couldn't fall any lower.

"Don't be disappointed. For someone like you, what I am doing could be considered merciful. You wouldn't want to end up in Kale's hands, do you? At least for the time being, he won't end up accidentally killing you," Damien chuckled as Tristen pulled her up and locked her arms behind her back, making Farah try to shrug him off, but all her efforts were in vain since the miniature ethereal formation Damien planted on her already sealed her cultivation.

"Take her away and make sure the best locks and formations are in place!" Damien ordered sternly as Tristen dragged her away as Farah continued to spitefully shout.
