Lord of the Karmic Fate-Chapter 87 Unable To Grow Stronger! (4-Last)

After Raven finished talking now for real, the silence in the room was so great that if a small glass would have happened to fall and shatter it would have thundered like lightning!

Of course, it was understandable. After all, while what Raven said was hard and a little bit offending, his words were true.

Especially the second part. Like, what was this? An interrogation?

Please state your name, birthplace, date, talent, and passion...

Fuck all that!

All of these were nothing but a huge waste of time! What they should be doing right now was to bring all the Avatar Flasks to Raven and allow him to consume them, giving more chance to both him and humanity to survive the following clash!

Of course, he understood that all of this 'interrogation' was to see who possessed the greatest potential among all of them, such as their Artifacts powers or Rune Marks they possessed, but all of that was pointless.

After all, with his Death Defier Title alone Raven was confident he could beat everyone in this room even if his Artifact happened to be a pile of shit!

And just as he thought, Roven, the big bastard, stated the same thing he had been thinking with nothing but a mocking snort.

"Brat, I hope you understand that with all of the Avatar Flasks in the world, we can easily surpass you in Rank."

'Guessed so...' Raven sighed and after he crossed his arms he said, "While that is true, it would be a foolish attempt."

"Why so?" Roven asked with a deep frown.

"Well, let's see..." pretending to be thinking, Raven glanced at President Bai and asked, "How many Avatar Flask did the Realm Association accumulate so far?"

President Bai frowned also when he heard Raven's question but soon glanced at a man beside him who after checking the data on his device he said, "142."

'Just that much?' Raven was surprised just as everyone else before he calmed down and said, "Well, let's say those 142 flasks give one an average of 5 points. That would be around 118 points for each Trait, which, if we give it to one of you, would be a huge waste."

"It would be like crafting the best sword in the world that can cut through anything in the right hands, yet, instead of giving it to a master swordsman you give it a novice."

"What the fuck are you blabbering about?" Roven frowned to which Raven sighed and shook his head.

"I see you are not a bright one so let me explain it again but this time in a way that even you can understand it."

Raven cleared his throat and ignoring the dagger-like stare from the goliath he went on;

"While you can indeed surpass me with all those flasks, making you Rank 20 with your True Rank being 12 or perhaps 13, it would still pale in comparison if you give all of that to me."

"With the current 142 Avatar Flasks, I would be able to reach Rank 21 with each of my Traits surpassing 180 points, making my True Rank 18 or even possibly 19!"

Also, what Raven didn't mention was that he can literally double his Rank with his Collector's glove, making all his Traits go beyond 350 points with one or two of the possible even reaching 400! 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

That would make him Rank 40 with a True Rank of 35! That was just ridiculous!

"I have to agree with Luck." suddenly, an old man with grey hair and beard beside President Bai raised a hand.

Considering the uniform he was wearing, he seemed to be a part of the United World League.

'Finally, someone with a brain!' Raven sighed with relief in his heart.

"I have to agree also." an old woman also raised a hand. She seemed to be from the Realm Association.

"Me too."

"I vote for him."

"Same."

One by one, people began to agree with Raven, stating he was the best candidate to nurture and to trust the approaching clash.

"Fucking bullshit!" Roven cursed out, but from the way he looked, he seemed to have... relaxed?

'Well, considering the fate of billions will not weigh on his shoulders, it is understandable.' Raven thought as he watched how the same attitude was shown on the faces of everyone else beside him.

Meanwhile, President Bai stared at Luck in silence. This, naturally, earned the attention of everyone and soon enough everyone was looking at him.

Once everyone became silent, President Bai looked at Raven with a grave expression and asked, "Your Artifact... How strong it is?"

'Well, it was kind of expected.' Raven thought and without hesitation summoned an item into his hands.

Of course, because he didn't wish others to know what his real Artifact was, he decided to summon his Serpent Poison Dagger that no one really knew was just a Rare Item.

"My Artifact is called Serpent Poison Dagger that can either kill, paralyzed, or weaken my enemies depending on their Constitution. That Effect can also be enhanced if I use my Mystique so another reason why I am the best choice."

Everyone was left shocked. Roven even swallowed nervously while Cassie just looked at Luck with growing interest.

As for President Bai, he started at the green dagger in Raven's hand with a pondering look before he sighed and nodded.

"Bring all the flask and other items. Now!"

Upon hearing President Bai's words Raven smiled and watched as the young maid bowed and walked out of the room, only to see several people walking inside, each holding small crates filled with Avatar Flasks.

The sight of several tens of Avatar Flasks, naturally, made everyone in the room drool with greed, which quickly turned into sighs of helplessness the moment they watched Raven grabbing the first bottle, ready to drink it.

However, before he opened the lid, he looked up and said, "Umm... I don't want to say this, but you know..."

Seeing him gesturing at his face, everyone seemed to understand what he wished to say which earned a heavy sigh from President Bai.

"Everyone, please, leave the room for a while."

Everyone looked surprised, but when they saw the sharp look from President Bai they had no other choice but to walk out.

And just like that, only two individuals stayed in the room; President Bai and Raven. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

"Go on."

Looking at President Bai for several seconds in silence, Raven turned around and took the mask off. Of course, before doing that he made sure to check if there were any cameras, but luckily there were none so he was free to go.

Then, once his face was freed, he raised the bottle from his hand and poured its content down his throat, only to freeze motionless the very next second.
