The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 726: Nihility

He had plucked out a lot of feathers. The duck had bare spots on its body, where Xiao Luo had forcefully plucked out its feathers. Blood was oozing from the wounds and slowly dripping onto the floor. Some of its feathers were already blood-stained, and the duck looked pathetic.

Xiao Luo could not help feeling that he might have gone overboard. After a short while, he no longer felt guilty. This talking duck was an evildoer, for its injuries healed speedily, and all those missing feathers grew again. Shortly, it looked rejuvenated and was back to its original look.

“What do you want to ask me?” asked the duck, visibly having doubts about Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo’s asked, “Where’s the Master God of Chaos? What’s your relationship with him?”

“He is my owner and my master. He brought me here five hundred years ago and taught me martial arts, and how to talk. Every time I mention my owner, I feel grateful to him. If not for him, this duck here might have already kicked the bucket before he could even hatch from its egg. This duck here will never forget his kindness for the rest of my life. In my heart, my owner is like a light that makes my world bright…”

“Stop. I asked you where the Master God of Chaos is right now. I never asked you how you met him,” Xiao Luo interrupted and frowned. The duck was full of nonsense. He could twist and turn the conversation away from its topic.

“Oh, my owner went abroad for a holiday. Before he went, he told me to take good care of the temple. I am not to allow anyone to travel between both worlds.”

The talking duck said with a sincere look, “Before this happened, no one could pass the traps that this duck here has set, except you. While I am protecting this temple, the two worlds have been peaceful. There have been no interruptions at all.”

“Then half a month back, how do you explain the two people from Light Clan who traveled between both worlds?” asked Xiao Luo. He found the duck dishonest.

That question caused the duck’s face to turn red. But it still refused to admit it. The duck shook its head and said, “There were two people from the Light Clan traveling between both worlds? Impossible, that did not happen!”

“If it didn’t happen, then why would I want to go to Arcana Land?” Xiao Luo said with an agonized smile as he recalled the image of Su Li taken away.

“You are planning to go save that woman?”

The talking duck asked unconsciously and then realized that he made the mistake of revealing the party from Arcana Land. It now became clear that there were people from the Light Clan traveling between both worlds.

“That’s right. She is my wife!”

Xiao Luo ignored that blunder and replied.

Suddenly, the talking duck placed its wing on Xiao Luo’s shoulder with a deep sense of empathy, and said, “Brat, there is one thing Grandpa Duck hates the most, and that is to separate two lovers. Alright then, this duck will go to Arcana Land with you and help you get your girl back. Does that sound good? Right, my nickname is the King of all Ducks, also known as the Duck Emperor. Since we have crossed each other’s path, I think this is fate. This duck thinks that the more I look at you, the more pleasing you look.”

“Is it normal to shorten ‘The King of all Ducks’ to be ‘Duck Emperor?’” asked Xiao Luo.

The Duck Emperor had an odd look on its face and patted Xiao Luo’s shoulders casually. “Do not worry about such minor details. All you need to know is that I am the Duck Emperor. You look like you are in your twenties. This duck is five hundred years old, so according to age, this duck here is your Senior’s senior. Protocol dictates that you address me as your ancestor, but this duck will not take advantage of you. You only need to address me as Grandpa Duck Emperor.”

Ancestor?

Grandfather?

When Xiao Luo heard this, he couldn’t hold back and knock on its head again.

The Duck Emperor glared and said, “You f*cking idiot, why did you knock on me again?”

“If you call yourself the emperor or grandpa again, I’ll certainly turn into a featherless duck,” Xiao Luo threatened.

As expected, the Duck Emperor lost his temper, but dare not say anymore.

After staring at the duck for a long time, Xiao Luo laughed at himself. “It is so weird. Why am I wasting time with a useless duck like you?”

It was just a waste of time to walk in here and waste his time arguing with a duck.

With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

“Brat, wait for me! Let’s go to the Arcana Land together!” The Duck Emperor cried.

SWOOSH!

The tip of the Dragon Saber flashed, and instantly Xiao Luo had it pressed against the duck’s throat. The feel of cold steel made it shiver.

Xiao Luo turned around and looked down at the duck. “Then give me a reason to bring you to the Arcana Land.”

“I can do you a favor,” the Duck Emperor said.

“Do you see yourself like a savage beast? You’re just a useless duck, so please mind your own business,” Xiao Luo teased.

The moment the Duck Emperor heard this, he flew into a rage. “Brat, don’t look down on ducks! No matter what, I am still the disciple of the Master God of Chaos. Even though I may be unskilled, but in the art of escaping, I am second to none!”

The art of escaping?

Xiao Luo did not make fun of the duck again, for the Arcana Land was a land that he was unfamiliar with. It was unknown what kind of powerful beings existed in that world. If he encountered a formidable opponent, he might very well need to make a strategic retreat.

“How can we escape? Is it just enough for you to escape on your own, or can you bring people along with you?”

“Of course, I can bring others along when we flee, but it’s only limited to one person. It’s just that the method of bringing people to flee is too embarrassing to speak about,” said the Emperor Duck.

“What sort of unspeakable method is it?” Xiao Luo asked curiously.

The Duck Emperor chuckled and took out a cigar from somewhere. He lit it up and took a puff. “I’ll have to use my claws to grab your p*nis, then fly you away.”

Xiao Luo’s face darkened at once. This was one useless duck that was full of nonsense and was not worth spending any more time on.

“Get lost!”

Xiao Luo gave the Emperor Duck a piece of his mind and turned toward the exit.

“Hold on, brat. You can’t leave the temple just like that. You’ll never reach the other end without my guidance.”

Xiao Luo ignored him and pushed the door open, but the sight that greeted his eyes stunned him. The passageway that he entered from was no longer in front of him. Instead, it was a void of darkness.

“Don’t step out the doorway. It’s dangerous outside!”

The Duck Emperor picked up a book and dashed over. Then, he slipped half of the book into the dark void in front of him. When he pulled it back, there was only half of the book left. The other half seemed to have been devoured by the darkness.

“This is ‘Nihility.’ Anything that enters it will instantly turn to Nihility. Except for my master, the Master God of Chaos, no one dares to enter it, for this is the absolute power of the Chaos Dimension.”

“How did the outside change to become this Nihility?”

Xiao Luo asked, and then he added, “Quick, get to the point!”

“The Chaos Dimension possesses a consciousness, and it prevents people from traveling between the two worlds. If you didn’t enter this hall earlier but walked through the long passage instead, you would have reached the other end. The consciousness of the Chaos Dimension would not have been able to detect you at all, and wouldn’t have turned everything into Nihility,” the Emperor Duck explained.
