Max was stupefied when he saw the unconscious Roy and Keane Kingsman wrapped in a tablecloth.

” Come on now boy, restrain them properly” Jhonny commanded as Max did his best to apply restraints on the two.

” How did you get them? ” Sebastian asked curiously, it seemed incomprehensible to him that Jhonny had caught the two out of the blue.

” So, I realised that breaking into the prison and freeing your friends is too much work, So instead I decided to kidnap his children and propose a hostage swap.

His bastards for Max’s girlfriend and the other guy ” Jhonny replied as Sebastian was left mouth agape.

In his mind Sebastian believed that Kremeth was the coolest individual to have ever existed, but this image was currently being challenged by the nonchalant Jhonny English.

” Do you think he will take the bait? ” Anna asked as Jhonny rubbed his chin and said ” He should, he only has two children, his bloodline would be eliminated if he lost both.

Although the two are dumb, I think they have enough value for a prisoner swap deal”

Max felt a lot relieved hearing this, he was wrecking his brains over how to bust Asiva and Severus out, but Jhonny solved the problem of busting into the jail altogether.

” How do we approach Will Kingsman about the prisoner swap? ” Max asked sir Jhonny who went into deep contemplation over the issue.

After a while Jhonny said ” Well, both me and Will Kingsman can’t be present for the swap, if we do a swap deal it will take us only a split second to kill you kids after the swap is complete.

We need to be smart about it, draft a contract where nobody above tied 3 can come for the swap, from our side we send Max, from their side they send one guy, and nobody else should be allowed to come within 3 kilometres of the swap area.

Once Max gets the swap done, we get out of the planet, regroup and think on how to take revenge on the Kingsman clan.

That’s the most logical way of saving your friend, other methods will not guarantee her safety”.

Max thought about this and nodded, what Jhonny said made complete sense, hence, Max said “We should draft this contract and send it with Sebastian to deliver to the palace guards.

There is a good chance he will be imprisoned but with the teleportation stone in his inventory he can come back here safe and sound”.

Sebastian nodded, one of the key techniques taught to him specifically by Kremeth was the use of the teleportation stone.

There were two pairs of stone the locator and the transporter, the locator was where he would teleport to once he used the transporter.

It took 5 high grade mana stones to charge both the transporter and locator to have enough power for one teleportation.

Although the cost was astronomical, the technique was absolutely worth it for cowardly escapes.

Having given the locator stone to Max for safe keeping, Sebastian could teleport back to Max anytime he wished to.

This meant that he was the best man for the mission because he was the one prisoner that could not be imprisoned.

Jhonny drafted the system contract and gave it to Sebastian, who then took off with it towards the palace.

( Meanwhile Somewhere in the Universe)

” Where am I? ” Rudra wondered as he looked at the unbelievable amount of cosmic energy swirling around his body.

Rudra was floating in a vast nothingness with countless strings of cosmic energy converging into his formless body.

” What? ” Rudra tried to raise his hand and although he could see the edges of his physical form, there was no matter inside of it.

It was like he was made of light, a phenomena that he had never observed before.

” What the heck ” Rudra tried to move but could not, as after inspecting himself he realised that only his head had been physically reconstructed while the rest of his body was slowly being re-engineered.

” Gaia betrayed me…. ” Rudra remembered the circumstances behind his death and was clear as to what was going on.

His godly body was currently under reconstruction by the seed of reincarnation as while the rest of his body was being constructed by the cosmic strings, the tier 9 treasure near his kidneys was slowly dissolving into nothingness.

At the speed that Rudra’s body was being reconstructed, it was going to take him another 1- 1.5 years easily until he was whole again.

” Show system screen ” Rudra called for his system screen, but nothing happened, it was like he was no longer connected to the queen.

” Hmmm, interesting” Rudra said as he realised that since his initial physical body was destroyed, he no longer had Gaia implanted into his brain which meant that the queen no longer directly controlled him.

” Lucifer that damn bastard ” Rudra said as he chuckled at the devil’s antics before he killed him as Rudra constricted his formless knuckles and vowed revenge.

He was formless at the moment, and was going to stay that way for a long long time, however, he knew for sure that the day he came back to the universe, he was going to wreak havoc on a lot of people, the first being the queen.

” The unnamed god told me that this was my fate long ago, but I never believed in things like fate and destiny.

In life I’ve already had two chances. The first time I was a nobody, a bottom feeder, a weakling.

The second time I was someone who can slay even the strongest monarchs in the universe in a one vs one battle while being a tier weaker.

A freak unlike any other!

The strongest for sure.

Now that I’ve had a third chance it’s time to conquer the entire universe, the queen is corrupt, the dark faction is worthless, and the light faction is in shambles, when I return to the immortal arena the next time, it will be a bloodbath for sure “.

Rudra solemnly vowed as he began meditating in peace.

Without Gaia or connection to the system he could no longer message his family to let them know that he was okay.

Rudra had no idea how much time had passed since he had died and his heart ached at the thought of him not being able to see his newborn child with Ruby.

But there was nothing he could do about it at the moment and hence he could only bide his time peacefully hoping that the measures he took before his death would keep his family safe.

If there was one silver lining to his absence, it was that Max had matured enough to become the man of the house.

Although, he was not a complete adult, he had the moral character and the wits to keep the family safe and this brought a lot of peace to Rudra’s heart.

Somehow, his little brother was a reincarnator just like himself and was trying to fulfil his destiny in the universe.

Rudra did not know exactly who reincarnated Max or what his destiny was, but what he did know was that the day Max unlocked his true potential he would become unstoppable in the universe.

While Rudra had been raised in a rough and tough environment, Max was always sheltered from all sorts of problems and had not seen struggle until much later in life when their parents died of natural causes when he was 17.

With Rudra being the strongest man on earth and an extremely wealthy man, Max was raised in abundance driving sports cars and accessing the best living facilities which was good for living a happy life but not to build character.

However, with him murdering Sophie and him showing signs of ruthlessness while fighting enemies, Rudra could see that he was slowly trying to strip away his previous sheltered self and become someone truly fearsome.

Except his temperament which was on the softer side, Max had always been a genius.

He could grasp theory concepts fast and apply them to a myriad of situations.

He was the fastest graduate off the elite academy and had a great physique.

Concepts that even Rudra as a god took time to understand were quickly grasped by Max which was why Rudra knew that his brother was naturally gifted.

It was exactly this superior intellect which gave Rudra the confidence that one day Max was going to become a special man.

Little did Rudra know that his death was the final straw that broke Max’s back as he had already started to become stone cold.

Gone was the trembling teenager, replaced by a stable coward who was ready to do anything and everything to improve and win.

Although the road was long, Max was ready to face all adversities head on.
