Once Human, Now A Parasite Chapter 436

'What do we do?'
Lucy talked to Arthur, who's dormant inside of her. He wasn't noticed by the butler as and the little bit of Dark Magic he usually emits is directed to Makaze.
'I need to know the clan's location, its structure and how powerful the people there are.'
Lucy agreed with him, to wreak complete havoc, they need to know the enemy's strength. The White Specter Clan is amongst the powerful powers of the Divine Planet so it won't be easy to cause chaos. Since the moment they started relentlessly chasing after them, Arthur swore to pay back what was done to him tenfold.
They refused to leave them alone so he has to resort to more aggressive means. Lucy's mother, the Matriarch of the clan and the strongest person there, is, fortunately, in secluded cultivation so they don't have to worry about her interfering.
The trio didn't linger in the Bard Realm, they remained there for barely two hours before heading directly toward the Divine Planet. With the help of the Overgod, they were met with no difficulties.
Even the raging storm of Nether Energy surrounding the ginormous planet didn't obstruct them. As she stared at the Divine Planet, Lucy was truly shocked, the size of this planet was mind-numbing.
It was so big to the point that its spheric couldn't be seen even when they were in the Bard Realm. Moreover, there was an over-abundance of people either leaving or entering it.
No one was foolish enough to provoke the butler, who's apparently rather famous in both the Divine Planet and the Bard Realm. Despite needing to overcome the storm, there are only certain locations people can pass through. At the end of these locations were massive gates that are guarded by strong cultivations originating from the strongest power in the Cloud Sea Universe, the Cloud Sea Sect.
Although they arrived at the Divine Planet, the place was far too big so they needed two whole weeks to arrive at their destination. Not even once did Lucy converse with her sister or the butler, who tried to initiated a conversation but miserably failed.
***
During these two weeks, a huge piece of news traveled to all corners of the Cloud Sea Universe. It's about the middle-realm, Green-Leaf, where the Crown Prince revolted and assassinated his father, the king. He took the crown for himself and became the ruler of that land.

At first, there was some public opposition but the harsh and merciless actions of Isadore rendered everyone silent and obedient. He killed not only his father but three other ministers without even giving a reason. Surprisingly, the one and only sibling of Isadore, his sister, wasn't enraged and actually supported her brother, facilitating his rise to the peak.
This was but the first part of this news, the second part was the crushing defeat of the Holy Dominion, which was permanently banished from Green-Leaf.
Isadore publicly stated that any person from the Holy Dominion who dares to enter Green-Leaf will be killed on the spot. Everyone and anyone who has an affiliation with the Holy Dominion will be executed.
More shocking was that this king, a human mortal, assigned a demon as his adviser. Furthermore, the Holy Dominion envoy was killed in the Imperial Capital and their naked bodies were hanging on the main gates of the city, causing even more uproar.
As one would expect, the Holy Dominion was infuriated by Isadore's ruthless actions and demanded an explanation to which the King publicly stated:
"I don't need a reason to kill spineless vermin."

"Motherfuckers! How dare you steal my sword!"
A tall woman angrily crushed the head of a robot then pulled its arms, breaking it. Another robot punched her stomach but didn't even make her flinch, she glared at it and kicked it, pulverizing it.
"I won't leave till you fucking hand me the sword!"
She glared at a large airship from which countless robots were descending from. The airship was the size of a plane with many advanced rockets at its front. A mechanical barrier was surrounding it, defending it from any exterior attacks. This was a moving fortress which is one of the main powers of the system.
Surprisingly, amongst the countless robots, there was a human. He was a man in his forties wearing a thick golden armor. He held a flaming longsword embedded with six silver gems.
"We're just borrowing it for some time, what's the big deal?"
The man flashed a hideous grin that made him look uglier. He beckoned Losha with his pinky, clearly provoking her.
"A lv10,000 dog dares to talk big in front of me?"
What happened after could only be described as a complete and absolute beatdown. The man was beaten black and blue, his armor broken, his sword snapped in half and his face like a panda.

She mounted him and continuously punched his face, breaking his jaw and nose yet not stopping even for a second. She didn't want to hear his pleas or excuses, after all, it's a refreshing feeling to demolish these 'players' that belonged to the System.
As the reincarnator was busy slowly killing the player, a silhouette approached her behind. It wasn't the robots that were demolished even before they could move, but a more powerful individual.
While witnessing the sight before him, he hugged his arms and moaned:
"Ahhh! What a show! What a spirit! What Determination!"
Startled by the sudden appearance of the strange man, Losha turned her head only to suffer another shock. She hastily got up and stared back at the Joker, unable to say or do anything.
Just like the Nameless Knight, the Joker is another strong being, albeit very eccentric. His mood may change in a second and he doesn't differentiate between friend or foe.
"Oh please don't mind me… do continue."
He pointed at the bloodied 'player' while grinning. In response, Losha shook her head and said
"No need, I'm done relieving my anger."
With closed eyes and a finger on his forehead, the Joker seemed to be pondering about something. He walked to the player and pressed his foot on the man's face while speaking to the uncomfortable reincarnator
"Come on, don't be like this. You were so energetic just a second ago."
Losha forced a laugh but was unable to think of something to say.
"Tch! You're famous for your fiery attitude, where'd go to? Anywaaaaaaay… take this."
He fiddled with a card in his hand, which transformed into an exquisite-looking red letter.
"Your strength rose so I needed to personally come. You're invited to my Red Tower! Make sure to come, aight?"
After saying that, he pressed his foot and pulverized the player's head. Then, he raised his head and stared at the still-standing airship, he raised his hand, which was holding a card, and casually vertically slashed the air.
Losha gawked at what happened next; the floating airship was split in two and slowly fell while the Joker vanished from that area, leaving a speechless reincarnator. She only snapped out of her daze when she heard his voice one last time
"Take this as a gift… I don't want you to come empty-handed, after all."
Her divine sword, Grail, appeared in front of her, waiting to return to its owner and partner.
*******
Lucy stared at the grandiose gates erected before her. They were at least 50 meters in height and several meters thick. Two disciples wearing white robes were guarding it. When they noticed the butler and Angelina, they bowed and treated them with absolute respect though they were surprised too another person that looked very identical to the Matriarch's daughter.
The butler nodded to the two disciples and, at last, entered the White Specter Clan. He was in a bit of a rush to tell the Matriarch about Arthur and Lucy.
Unfortunately, the second they stepped inside the clan, the disciplinary elder rushed toward them.
"Greetings, butler Hobson, Miss Angelina, and…"
He smiled at Lucy and introduced himself
"I presume you're Miss Eva. You're as beautiful as your mother. I'm Benson Album Larva, your maternal uncle."
He stretched his hand, expecting Lucy to reciprocate but she threw him a quick glance before ignoring him and his hand.
Benson wasn't bothered, his smile widened as he resumed talking
"Your father heard that you're coming so he prepared a warm welcome for you. Please follow me."
Both Hobson and Angelina frowned, clearly not believing Benson's words but they still followed him. Lucy curiously looked around, inspecting the beautifully built houses and the tall pagodas in the horizon.
The territory of the White Specter Clan is huge and this area is where the Outer Disciples reside. Some left their homes and gazed at Lucy before starting to guess her origins.
The rumors of her return had already spread and many speculated that she's the Matriarch's daughter from another man.
'From the look on your sister's face, I don't think your father is that 'good-willed'.'
Meanwhile, Arthur was talking to his wife about his father-in-law, who's never been mentioned by the butler or Angelina.
'Hmpf! It doesn't matter if he's 'good-willed' or not, I'm going to leave sooner or later.'-Lucy

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.
