Darius remained staring at Klaus with a stunned expression for a few minutes before he sighed. It wasn't like he could speak so sense into Klaus's skull, considering he was powerless in this regard.
The danger is coming to Klaus, so he had no say in anything. He may be worried, but his concern is more narrowly focused on Ophelia's life.
Her death would be a big problem for him.
After a few minutes, he said in a sowhat concerned tone.
"At most, you would have to hold back Blood Shadow for 30 minutes. I have already deployed 30 A-class Hunters and three S-class hunters. It is either they would get to you first, or the daughter of Star Lord Victor would. Either way, Blood Shadow would make contact with you first, so be prepared."
"I will do my best, Sir Darius," Klaus replied.
Darius nodded and hung up the call.
"Ah, what a headache," Klaus slumped into his chair, exhaling deeply. He didn't even have to look at Ophelia and her guards to know they were terrified.
It had been three quiet days for them, only to be shattered by this unexpected news. Obviously, they knew their luck had finally run out.
Fighting True Immortals is okay. That is within manageable paraters. However, when it cos to going as far as facing an Immortal Lord, then that would just be asking too much.
Even Immortal Kings, Emperors, and Monarchs wouldn't dare face an Immortal Lord.
The mont one becos a True Immortal, they are free to form as many Immortal Rings as they wish.
This is why, even at the True Immortal stage, so individuals remained undisputed. Immortal Rings speak louder than rely ascending through the realm of immortality.
Blood Shadow had already ford five, and there are rumours she had ford a sixth. Naturally, even if she has just a single immortal ring, that is sothing to be afraid of.
She had both the cultivation stage and the immortal rings on her side.
So, regardless of how monstrous Klaus is, they knew it was hopeless to even consider facing soone as dangerous as Blood Shadow.
Klaus turned to the side and studied their expressions before asking an unusual question in a casual tone, "How many of you have ever watched any of the Star Wars movies?"
Hearing his question, Ophelia and her guards looked at him with blank expressions, unsure of what to say. First, they had never heard of Star Wars movies.
They are aware of the term "Star Wars" because they know it refers to a battle in space between planets.
Naturally, that is common knowledge; everyone is aware of that. After all, there are many videos of Star Wars on the Uniweb.
However, they knew Klaus ant sothing different.
Second, while they were panicking, Klaus seed to be more relaxed and even had ti to joke. His tone reflected how he felt, so they knew he was not afraid, not even for one second.
Lastly, what was he thinking to ask such a question when he knew they weren't knowledgeable about Earth stuff?
Seeing their lost expressions, Klaus smiled and spoke, "Growing up, I wanted to beco a stormtrooper. You know, so I can wear weird-looking suits and march in a straight line, hunting down those who dared resist the rule of whoever dared beco the emperor of the empire.
Of course, that was when I had everything. I was young and happy, so I saw it as a cool path. However, when reality hit, and I saw how harsh living could be, all I started praying for was to beco one with the Force," Klaus grinned.
"Now look at , Obi-Wan got nothing on ," he laughed, and took out six bottles of wine from his space ring. Then, using the Force, he moved them toward the five immortals.
They hesitated but accepted the drink, watching him take a gulp. He beckoned for them to take a sip, which they did after a few monts of hesitation.
However, the mont they took a sip, their minds imdiately felt calm. The wine isn't just for the taste. It has so dicinal effects that quickly made the five immortals feel more relaxed.
"Is there any point to what you said... and who is Obi-Wan? Is he your master?" Kaiz asked, taking a second sip of his wine. He figured if he was going to die, he might as well drink to his fill.
Klaus smiled and answered, "I have no master. However, I do know a thing or two about facing impossible odds. Obi-Wan had to face impossible odds in his path, and so did I.
Of course, facing an Immortal Lord as a mortal is a new one, but I take every challenge as a learning curve.
While you five may see the Immortal Lord as a threat, I see her as a re obstacle and a chance to Aura Farm."
The five immortals blinked a few tis, hearing a new word.
"Seriously, guys, which part of the universe are you from? Don't you know what aura farming is?" They stared back at him with expressions of confusion.
This made Klaus chuckle, and he added it to his bucket list to ensure the rest of the universe learns about Earth culture when he becos the overlord.
"My point here is, regardless of the outco of the upcoming battle, I would beco popular and more reputable when everything is over. I an, which mortal had ever faced an Immortal Lord and co out alive?"
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Ophelia asked, staring into Klaus's golden eyes.
"Naa. Death and I have a special arrangent. He even asked to inherit his position and rule in his stead. So no, I am not even one bit afraid of death."
She kept her mouth shut and only continued to stare at Klaus with an unreadable expression.
However, deep within them, they were scared like rats. Even if Klaus wasn't scared of death, they knew all it would take was a shockwave to reduce them to chunks of flesh.
They wouldn't even be able to survive long enough with their life-saving treasures, much less raise their weapons and face an Immortal Lord.
"Relax, you five. I have no plans on letting you face an Immortal Lord."
"What do you an?" Estelle asked, unsure of what Klaus ant. They were travelling together, so if he was attacked, it would automatically affect all of them.
"I have a storage item where I can keep living things. Naturally, I will be stashing you there to save your lives, and since I have no plans on dying now, I will release you once we get to Planet Baski."
Klaus could see expressions of relief appear on their faces. Though they hid it, he knew they were happy to hear his plans for them.
"Now, back to the issue with Obi-Wan... I still have questions on why that motherfucker didn't kill Vader when he had the chance."
