Chapter 1016: He Was Very Delicious, You Know?
Ethan and his lovers didn't join the celebratory event of the Fomorians.
Anyway, his absence didn't change the fact that the Fomorians were now extremely happy with their True King, contrary to their initial disappointment.
In the party, the Golden Egg was in the middle of boasting about how awesome, amazing, superb, and powerful it was.
The Fomorian Chieftains listened, not looking down on it. They even praised it, telling the Golden Egg that the moment it broke out of its shell, the world would tremble and kneel before it.
The Golden Egg was ecstatic to see that its subordinates finally understood how awesome, amazing, superb, and powerful it was.
Because of this, it promised the Fomorians that when that day came, he would take them all flying!
King Arawn found this Golden Egg's bragging quite amusing.
Unlike the Fomorians, he didn't see that mighty creature that blocked out the light of the sun, casting darkness to the world.
Godfrey was of the same mind as the King of Annwn. He failed to understand why the Fomorians became the "Yes Men" of the Golden Egg, who was currently nestled in Narissa's chest as if using her warmth to incubate it faster.
King Austen, on the other hand, was just happy that the Fomorians were no longer a threat to the Shire Continent.
Since this problem was now over, they had to prepare for the next one, which was frankly a much greater problem compared to the Fomorians.
The Progenitors had hinted that, soon, the invaders from other worlds might find a loophole in their defenses, allowing them to descend upon Midgard.
When that happened, everyone would have to fend for themselves until reinforcements arrived from the Lands of Saraqael.
Just a few minutes before the celebratory feast started, Zia had summoned the King, wanting to talk in private.
The Will of Claiomh Solais had given King Austen an order, which didn't come as a surprise for him.
He had already assumed that this day might come. Instead of being surprised, he was actually happy because the Guardian of their Kingdom had acknowledged someone that had his bloodline running in his veins.
While King Austen was reminiscing about the conversation he had with Zia earlier, Godfrey asked the Golden Egg a question.
"So, are you going to go with the Fomorians back to Midgard?" Godfrey asked.
"No," the Golden Egg replied in a heartbeat, which made the faces of the Fomorian
Chieftain's stiffen.
"Oh?" Godfrey arched an eyebrow. "You are their True King, but you don't plan on going with them? Do you recognize Ethan as your Master then?"
The stiffness on the faces disappeared, replaced by a grim expression.
They still didn't know the Golden Egg's true relationship with Ethan, so Godfrey's question really hit home.
"Ethan is not my Master," the Golden Egg replied, which immediately made the Fomorians sigh in relief.
However, before they could exchange smiles with each other, the Golden Egg's next words caught them by surprise.
"He is my partner!" the Golden Egg declared.
"P-Partner?" Narissa stuttered. "Your Excellency, what do you mean that he is your partner?"
"We don't have a Master and Servant relationship," the Golden Egg explained. "But we are destined to stand as equals. Also, being with him allows me to eat many good things!"
However, after recalling that the last meal he had was a Fomorian Chieftain, the Golden Egg coughed lightly and tried to follow up his words.
"He's always up against powerful and strong opponents," the Golden Egg hurriedly added. "Um, just like that Merman called King Oceanus. He was very delicious, you know?"
Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel, who were both quietly listening to the side, shuddered after hearing the Golden Egg say that King Oceanus was very delicious.
King Arawn, who knew who King Oceanus was, frowned and tried to ask more about what exactly had happened with King Oceanus.
The Golden Egg was more than happy to explain how one of the most powerful Colossi in the world was defeated.
"King Oceanus was so busy fighting against Ethan, so he didn't notice that I was just using Ethan as bait," the Golden Egg said with arrogance. "Ethan is strong, but I am stronger. With a single move from me, King Oceanus was rendered helpless, allowing Ethan to give the finishing blow.
"You can even say that if I didn't decide to fight that day, Ethan would be fish food by now. That brat only managed to win because of this SIR!"
The Golden Egg didn't explain the full details on how King Oceanus perished because it would mean broadcasting to everyone that it liked to use sneak attacks against its opponents so that it could drain their life force.
In his eyes, Godfrey and King Arawn were delicious, so why would he share its backstabbing tendencies?
If ever the King of Annwn and the Demigod chose to fight against Ethan, the Golden Egg didn't want to know how it would attack them in the future!
"Your Excellency is really powerful!" Caddor praised.
"That, I am," the Golden Egg replied in a pleased tone.
"His Excellency has Divine Might!" Jovar was quick to follow his comrade's example, and flattered the Golden Egg.
"I like Fomorians who speak the truth," the Egg started to shake left and right, finding the flattery to his liking.
"His Excellency is so powerful that even Progenitors will not stand a chance!" A One-Horned Fomorian, who was part of the Chieftain's entourage, spoke out loud.
"You speak the truth. Um, what's your name again? When I hatch, I'll make sure to give you a spot among my Royal Guard," the Golden Egg said with satisfaction.
The other Fomorians felt envious of the One-Horned Fomorian and felt that they were only one step away from gaining the Golden Egg's favor.
If they became part of its inner circle when it hatched, wouldn't that make them "Under one King, above Tens of Thousands?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
That would be the greatest honor that they could have, and their names would be written in the history of the Fomorian Race.
