Chapter 50 A Woman With Light Covering Her Face, Awaken The Space Core!
"You?!"
Arthur's surprise was evident when he caught sight of the woman in the exquisite white dress.
Her long white hair cascaded down to her waist in a flowing wave, and her figure was flawlessly proportioned from head to toe.
A blinding light obscured the woman's face, preventing Arthur from recognizing her.
Despite this, she greeted him with a familiar tone.
"We meet again, my dear Arthur~," she said.
Her voice was melodic and seductive.
Arthur's heart raced as he searched for any clue to her identity, but the light was too intense.
He could only make out her exquisite white dress and the long, flowing strands of her white hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of silk.
"Or perhaps more accurately, Zayn Welston~"
The woman's giggles sent shivers down Arthur's spine, and he struggled to keep his composure.
Soon, he regained his senses, but a look of astonishment remained on his face.
"How could you know?" he stammered, his eyes fixed on the woman's figure.
His reincarnation was the most important and hidden secret that he would never tell anyone, including his own mother, Elizabeth.
However, did this unknown woman also know about it?
For the first time, he felt completely exposed and vulnerable.
The woman did not answer and continued to giggle, which made Arthur feel increasingly upset.
Furthermore, was he not supposed to awaken the core of his body? Why, then, had he suddenly found himself in this white room?
Arthur felt confused and continued to stare at the woman in front of him, silently asking, "Hey, can you answer my question?"
"Alright, my dear," the woman responded.
"Don't worry, because I won't hurt you at all." She spoke in a gentle tone and suddenly teleported in front of him, caressing Arthur's face gently.
"After all, I've been waiting for this for over a hundred thousand years, you know?" the woman said, lowering her head and whispering in Arthur's ear.
Hearing her whisper, Arthur felt goosebumps all over his body and wanted to get away from the woman.
However, he found that he couldn't move his body at all.
"Shit!" Arthur cursed in his heart. "Why can't I move?!"
"Don't resist, my dear," the woman continued to whisper in Arthur's ear in a seductive tone.
"If you want to know why you're here,"
Hearing this, Arthur was stunned, but he tried to calm himself down, remembering his motto in this world: "Stay calm even if the sky falls!"
Arthur continued to chant the mantra, and his mind cleared so that he could calmly accept his current condition.
"Alright, can you tell me about it?" Arthur glanced at the woman leaning on his shoulder with an indifferent look.
He felt annoyed because he sensed that the woman was somehow using him, and he had never felt used like this before.
Uh, except perhaps by Elizabeth.
"Of course, my dear," the woman said softly.
Instead of letting go of him, she hugged him tightly!
Just as Arthur was about to fight back, the woman's threatening voice rang in his ears, leaving him feeling somewhat traumatized.
"If you resist again, I will tie you up in this room, and I won't let you leave forever," the woman warned.
The corner of Arthur's mouth twitched, and he seemed to have heard this threat somewhere before.
"Alright, I'll keep quiet." Arthur sighed and surrendered.
After all, this woman with a bright light on her face was very strong!
He couldn't even sense her mana or power, but he felt a certain aura from her.
Arthur sensed that even the aura of the three figures on the throne might be like a drop in the ocean compared to the woman in front of him.
"Is this woman a late-level Elemental Supreme?" he wondered to himself.
"Or perhaps an Elemental Lord?"
"Damn! This woman is so powerful!" he thought to himself in amazement.
However, his facial expression remained indifferent.
"Hehehe, you finally stopped struggling, my dear~," the woman said, rubbing her face against his gently.
However, Arthur, who could only surrender, did not resist and could only sigh in his heart.
"Well, can you tell me?" Arthur spoke calmly to the woman.
"Fufufu, alright." The woman giggled and sat cross-legged on the ground, placing Arthur on her lap.
She hugged him gently, like hugging a teddy bear.
Arthur didn't resist, and he felt that her embrace was very soft.
"This woman has a very big heart!" Arthur thought to himself and praised her slightly.
Immediately, the woman giggled a little and began to tell the story.
"The reason you're here is related to your awakening," she said.
"The core you awakened is very special, and no one has awakened it except hundreds of thousands of years ago."
The woman spoke softly, and Arthur noticed that her tone was very different from her previous flirtatious tone.
He immediately came to his senses and felt astonishment rising in his heart.
"The core I awakened is a core that never existed except hundreds of thousands of years ago."
"However, how could this woman know, and how old is she now?"
Various questions arose in his mind, but he did not interrupt the woman's conversation and tried to listen to her.
"Do you know what the power of the core you awakened is?" the woman asked in a teasing tone, rubbing her face against Arthur's cheek.
"Fire Element?"
"Or Water Element?"
"Or Special Element?"
Arthur answered lightly, considering that both his parents were fire and water core elements.
However, he also thought that it would be foolish to assume that his awakened core element was one of those two common elements, given the woman's claim that it had not existed for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Right, it's a special element~"
"My dear is so smart," praised the woman, who kissed Arthur's cheek continuously.
Arthur resigned himself to the woman's affectionate kisses and closed his eyes without resistance.
Arthur was a little confused because what the woman mentioned matched the special element that Arthur in the novel had awakened.
However, in the novel, Arthur never displayed his elemental power, which made him feel that something was amiss.
"How did he escape David Asvold's detection in the story?"
"Could it be that the elemental core he awakened is so rare and similar to his own nature that he concealed it to avoid detection?"
However, even David in the story still made him the heir, which should be impossible since Arthur didn't show his core power, right?
"What's going on?"
"Why is everything getting weird?"
"Is there a secret that I don't know about?"
Arthur frowned, wondering in his heart.
The woman's words immediately made him forget about the fatal irregularity that he had just realized.
"Then what is the core power that I awakened?" Arthur asked curiously.
The woman's soft voice was like a bomb dropping towards Arthur as she said, "Of course, it is the rarest core power in this world and has only appeared once in the history of this world—the space core power!"
"Space core power?" Arthur exclaimed in disbelief.
"Did I really awaken this rare core?"
"How is that possible?"
He widened his eyes in shock and looked at the woman with a questioning expression.
"Of course I'm telling the truth~"
The woman spoke softly, and Arthur could sense that she was not lying.
"Then, the pain in the direction of my heart—is it a sign of the awakening of the power of the space core?" Arthur looked at the woman and asked curiously, because this was also what made him feel like dying.
"Indeed, it is one of the signs of its awakening."
"If the sign of awakening gets closer, the pain will increase many times over." The woman spoke gently and hugged Arthur tightly.
Hearing this, Arthur nodded his head as if he understood.
"Apparently, that's the reason!"
"No wonder I suddenly felt intense pain, and during the awakening, the pain made me faint."
"Damn it!" Arthur cursed inwardly, feeling relieved.
He then remembered his sister Alicia in the novel, who awakened the ice core, another special element.
Before her awakening, she always felt cold at night and would ask Arthur to hug her.
However, in the novel, Arthur is portrayed as cold-blooded and rejects Alicia, leading her to develop hatred towards him.
"Then, who are you and how do you know all this?"
"And where is this?"
"What's more, you call me "dear" all the time, which makes me quite confused, you know?"
"We just met each other, but why do you seem so familiar with me?"
Arthur looked towards the woman, but the intense light made it difficult to see her face.
Arthur couldn't shake off the fact that this woman, who kept calling him "dear," had never introduced herself.
What's more, she seemed to know about his previous life as Zayn!
He couldn't help but wonder who she really was.
Could she be a goddess or something?
Arthur felt a sense of fear wash over him as he thought to himself, "I'm scared of this woman."
Hearing his questions, the woman didn't seem angry but instead chuckled softly.
"For now, you don't need to know who I am, my dear~" she said.
She gently lowered him to the ground and turned his body to face the same direction as hers, then caressed his face tenderly.
"And how do I know all that, fufufu~? It's a secret, my dear~," the woman replied, smiling mischievously behind the light that covered her face.
"Besides, you're still quite weak, so it's not suitable to reveal everything to you just yet." She spoke in a soft, gentle tone as she addressed Arthur.
Arthur's brow furrowed slightly, but he knew deep down that the woman was right.
He was still very weak and vulnerable.
Despite awakening a rare core, it didn't guarantee his safety or success in this perilous world.
"Alright, I won't ask anymore."
Arthur nodded silently, choosing not to press the matter any further.
He then looked at the woman and asked with a hint of playfulness, "At least I'm sure you won't hurt me, right?"
"Of course, my dear~" The woman replied, approaching him and planting a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"You are the only person who is important to me."
Arthur didn't resist her affection, and he finally felt the knot of wariness in his heart unravel.
Arthur didn't know who this woman was, nor did he think he had ever met her before.
However, he couldn't help but believe that she might have feelings for him, right?
"Well, my dear, our time is up and you should go now~," the woman said, rubbing her face once again.
Her soft voice echoed in Arthur's ears.
"Thank you for all the information you provided," Arthur said, smiling gratefully at her.
"You're welcome, my dear~," the woman replied with a smile.
"Oh, before you go, I have something for you."
Without warning, the woman grabbed Arthur's chin and kissed him passionately, probing his mouth with her tongue.
"Shit!"
Arthur was shocked and unable to move, but he couldn't deny the strange sensation he felt.
"Hmm~"
"Fuahh~" The woman eventually released her lips, and a bridge of saliva formed briefly between them.
"Well, my dear, I had to give you what you deserved," the woman said, wiping her lips with a chuckle.
"You!" Arthur stared at the woman in disbelief.
Just as he was about to say something, the woman pushed him gently to the ground, causing his vision to blur.
As his consciousness began to fade, Arthur caught a glimpse of the woman approaching his ear and whispering softly.
"......"
Arthur widened his eyes in disbelief and opened his mouth to ask a question, but before he could utter a word, his vision went dark.
In an instant, his body transformed into a shard of light in the white room.
"My dear, I really want to be with you forever," the woman whispered softly.
"However, right now, that's not possible."
"Maybe in the future, when you regain what you should have, that will be the time."
"I can't wait, my dear," she added with a beautiful smile as the light on her face slowly faded away.
