Lord Protector Novel

Complicated emotions filled Zeke's chest. Unexpectedly, this ordinary-looking old beggar had such a magnificent past. Even the entire Theos Island used to belong to him.

Zeke asked, “How did Lacey enter this parallel universe?”

The old beggar replied, “Fate, I suppose. I saw Theos capture someone the other day and was about to extract her blood. To stop him, I unleashed a great skill and pulled Lacey into this parallel universe.”

“Hmm? Isn't this parallel universe completely sealed from the outside world? You can drag a living person there?”

“I can allow the entry of others into this parallel universe using my mental energy, but once they come in here, they can't leave.”

Clarity washed over Zeke. “Sir, didn't you mention your consciousness cannot escape the parallel universe to talk to me in my dreams? How come you can do it now?”

“Let me ask you. Was there a huge battle here a few days ago?”

Zeke nodded. “That's right. A few days ago, the Northern King led an army here to crusade against me.”

The old beggar uttered, “Someone must've caused a huge explosion that disrupted the spatial stability here.”

Zeke bobbed his head again. “Yes. The Northern King and over thirty Legatuses simultaneously attacked me, and the shockwaves of their attack tore the space.”

“It all makes sense now. They accidentally shattered the parallel universe I'm in as well. That's why a small part of my consciousness could slip out of this parallel universe I'm in.”

Suddenly realizing something, Zeke asked in a hurry, “Sir, does that mean I can rescue you and Lacey once I break the dimension? In fact, if I work together with a few of my subordinates, we can also shatter the space.”

The old beggar shook his head. “Of course not. The space around this nameless island, now known as Theos Island, is complicated and chaotic. I once investigated this area and discovered at least nine parallel universes here. I don't know who is the supreme being who left these nine parallel universes here, but these parallel universes must be guarded with traps. Once you break them, you'll face violent backlashes and inevitable death. That is why I'm telling you to use a divine weapon to break the dimension with Legion's assistance. The resulting force will be just about right to hit the space I'm in.”

Zeke gained a revelation. “I'm about to forge a Dark Level divine weapon successfully, then I'll start making Earth Level divine weapons. Sir, between Dark Level and Earth Level divine weapons, which do you think can more precisely strike the parallel universe you're in?”

“The stronger, the better, of course.”

Zeke nodded. He grew more determined to create an Earth Level divine weapon.

After the old beggar finished his roasted chicken, he tossed the bones aside and burped. “That's enough. I don't have much time left here. You should spend some time accompanying Lacey. Hold on... Something isn't right. What are you carrying in front of your chest?”

Zeke touched his chest. “There's nothing here.”

The old beggar shook his head. “No, that's not it. You're in a dream now, so there's certainly nothing there. I'm asking what you placed on your chest in real life.”
