"I see why you dared to return without my sister-in-law by your side," Colleen said, slowly turning around to face us, then passing Lois, she neared me, saying, "She is good, but she is not enough. If you go to the Central Academic City, it will not be just Morningstar University you will be facing, but the entire academic city and maybe even the Central Government and the nobles from the Central Capital. Don’t deny it. They orchestrated a demonic attack within the Southern Capital for you. There is no saying what they will do if you go to their home turf."

"I’m hoping they will," I replied with a confident smile. Locking my eyes with hers, I announced, "Celestial Blood Fate Domain."

Soon the whole world as far as we can see turned crimson as I robbed everything of its fate, and asked Colleen, "Home turf? Honey, what’s that?"

"The real deal is way closer to the myths than the fake one. How are you doing this?" Colleen asked, ignoring the pressure her will was under. It got easier as she stopped resisting, realizing within the domain of her will was helpless against her grandson-in-law’s will.

However, this destroyed all the confidence she had gained with her recent growth in her primary rules and mastery over the pseudo-celestial rule domain. She told herself not to compare herself with a monstrous genius like her grandson-in-law, but in front of him she could help but feel humbled.

"Honestly, it’s instinctive. I just like to chant its name because I like to announce I am coming. Like Death. You know it’s coming, and it’s imminent. You just have to live knowing that.

So, don’t waste your time using the pseudo-celestial rule domain to figure out the method to a real one because there isn’t one. I wasn’t completely honest when I shared the method of pseudo-celestial rule domain with the Royal Instructor. Not that I was trying to deceive him but just protecting him from the fact that the past few centuries of his life were a total waste of time.

A card apprentice, regardless of their realm, cannot deploy a celestial rule domain unless they meet a certain threshold. That’s one of the reasons there aren’t many records of the celestial rule domain. Just stick to increasing your mastery in the pseudo-celestial rule domain. When the time is right, I will share what I have with you all," I advised Colleen, not wanting her to waste her precious time on something impossible.

Listening to her grandson-in-law, Colleen’s eyes widened in lament for his staggering narcissism. He had dared to fancy himself the same as Death, inevitable. However, thinking about the consequences of the information he revealed to her, she asked in curiosity, "Aren’t you concerned that I will use this information to get the Royal instructor to our camp?"

"Hahaha, you are funny. The Royal instructor’s loyalty was mine the moment I showed him the true celestial rule domain from the myths. It’s just that he appeared too fascinated with the celestial rule domain to the point where I was worried if I told him the truth he would be of no use for either of us," I said without any exaggeration because in the Royal instructor’s eyes I was akin to the chosen when I showed him I can use the celestial rule domain from the myths. However, that old fool was spellbound with his research into the celestial rule domain. Telling him the secret to it would be akin to feeding him poison.

I wouldn’t bother with him, but he was one of the cornerstones of the Southern Region. With a war upon us, it wouldn’t be wise to lose him now. So I decided to keep him busy with the puesdo-celesital rule domain.

Colleen’s eyes widened learning grandson-in-law’s measures towards the Royal Instructor and his reasons for them. What impressed her most was that the Royal Instructor had no idea. That old fool was going around bragging about how much the Southern Hero values him and chose to share the method to the pseudo-celestial domain, giving him the full right to teach it to others.

"My daughter is going to love you," Colleen said out of nowhere.

Listening to Colleen bring up her daughter, my expression turned indifferent as I asked, "Are you sure? I know her plans for Anna and me. I hate being used the most."

"Look at the time. The royal court is about to start. Good luck on your visit to the Central Academic City," Colleen excused herself, regretting bringing up her daughter. But what can she do? Every time she talks with him, she cannot help but feel like she was talking to her daughter. Also, there were more details to her daughter’s plans, but she couldn’t share them with her grandson-in-law.

Colleen nodded at Lois but fiercely eyed Demigod Redfall before heading to the Royal Court. I stared at her back, wondering whether, instead of heading to the central academic region, I should head to the Southern Royal Palace to confront Anna’s mother and demand an explanation. She used me like a whetstone, sacrificing Anna’s love for me to sharpen her daughter and help her forge an Extreme Divinity.

I should have known. How could a Royal Family be so enthusiastic about marrying the heir to the throne to an orphan from the slums of some third-rate city, no matter how miraculous his inventions and discoveries were? The Southern Princess knew her daughter the best, enough to use her rebellious nature to get the exact results she wanted.

I glared intensely at the Southern Royal Palace. However, I knew it wasn’t the right time to meet the Southern Princess yet. She took Anna from me, so I took Field Marshal Lorn from her. As I waited for her retaliation, she gifted the Freedom Fighters to me. By the time I realized it was a gift, I had already accepted it. She was formidable. So, I planned to meet her bearing a gift, not just any gift.
