Chapter 936 Everything Falls Into Place
[ Celestial Quest - Congratulations player Shakuni, you have successfully cleared the celestial quest…. Distributing promised rewards…. ]
Rudra saw this notification flash before him and he immediately turned serious.
The celestial's had issued a mission to him, however, Rudra was suspicious that they would not deliver on their promise since there was no governing body such as the queen within the celestial realm to hold them to their word.
Thankfully, such a scenario did not occur and Rudra did get the rewards that he was promised.
[ System Notification - You have received the technique-
[ Memory Isolation ], you can successfully heal your brothers condition using this move ]
[ System Notification - You have received an additional reward in the form of 'one' perishable communication stone ]
Rudra looked at the two system notifications and then quickly glanced at the queen, who bowed to signal that the two moves were worthy of his trust.
[ Memory Isolation ] ( Transcendent ) - You can selectively isolate memories and personality traits of anyone who is atleast a tier below you.If used correctly, you can completely change the personality of an individual.
Rudra looked at the move and raised an eyebrow.
Transcendent grade? This was his first time seeing a skill that surpassed divine grade and it made him feel awkward.
The skill description was vague but from what Rudra understood of it, he could use the skill to manipulate the memories and experiences of an individual.
One's personality was completely based on their memories and experiences and if Rudra was able to manipulate such a thing at will, he could potentially erase all the negative memories and emotions that one felt towards him or his family and convert a potential enemy to a staunch supporter of the Rajput house.
Forget suppressing people by force, this skill allowed him to ensure willful loyalty of individuals and the very thought of it made Rudra realise how dangerous it really was.
No-one liked to be manipulated, however, if their opponent had such a skill under his belt, then they wouldn't even know how and when they got manipulated and their whole life principles could be based off a lie.
[ Perishable Communication Stone ] ( Transcendent ) - A unique item, highly coveted by even celestials that allows one to have a five minute conversation with an individual of choosing from the controlled universe.
Rudra's eyes flashed with a spark of inspiration as he read the item description of the perishable communication stone.
This was precisely the item he needed as despite all his strengths Rudra knew that it was unlikely that he would win against the perfect warrior in his very first bout against the celestial.
In his first bout he was going to understand the depths of his opponents strength and that meant that there would be a great possibility that he would only figure out a way to beat him after having that first bout.
With no way to communicate with the controlled universe or access to its techniques or resources, Rudra did feel worried that even if he found a way to beat the perfect warrior he would not be able to do so without the right support, however, with this stone he could hold a meaningful five minute conversation with Max and teach him all there was that he needed to prepare before ascending to the celestial realm.
That way, even if he himself would be unable to beat the perfect warrior, he would pave the way for his younger and more talented brother to end the fight that he started.
Grinning from ear to ear, Rudra clutched onto the communication stone and tossed it in his inventory as he prepared to head to Dombivli to bid farewell to his family and heal his brother.

( Meanwhile in Dombivli )
It had been 16 days since Max became unconscious and the vampire lord's were growing increasingly hard to control.
It was hard to disguise Max's coma as nothing but fatigue, as nobody was buying that story anymore.
" Queen Asiva, please tell us the truth about King Max's condition? Will he ever wake up? Or is his future uncertain?
The vampire society has just came out of a big crisis and we need our leader to be fit and healthy, now more than ever"
" Queen Anna, please let the physician from the Velter clan inspect the King, we are worried that the Bloodfall physicians are not upto the mark"
" Lord Severus! You are the only one who has been able to see the King, is he even recovering or will he succumb to his injuries and die?"
Questions were constantly being raised about Max and after 16 days of not letting anyone meet the King, the situation was proving to be more challenging than Asiva and Anna had initially expected.
Thankfully, Ruby and Naomi had headed over from Radiance to help the two out and even though the vampire lords were impatient, nobody dared to make a sound when the wives of the supreme lord were around.
" My Queen! My Queen!" A palace guard shouted as the attention of both Asiva and Anna was drawn towards the running palace guard who had an aghast expression on his face.
" What is it? Why do you look so pale?" Asked Anna who felt worried that something unfortunate like an invasion or some riot had taken place in some part of the territory.
" I-it's him! He's here- the Supreme Lord is here and is requesting permission to enter the palace " the palace guard said as for a moment everyone in the conference room fell dead silent.
The supreme lord was here?
But even more importantly he was asking permission to enter?
Usually, Anna would have said yes immediately, however, knowing the history between Rudra and Kremeth Jr and how Rudra did not show up to apologise even once after the accident, Anna pursed her lips and quietly looked at Asiva.
Asiva was calm, just like Anna she did not say ' yes' immediately, however, she did appreciate Rudra asking for permission, as it atleast showed that he came with sincere intentions.
Looking around, Asiva realised that even if she wanted to give Rudra an earful, it could not be in front of the masses as there was no room for rumours to start suggesting a rift between the Rajput family.
" Ofcourse…. What are you doing? The supreme lord is here! Recieve him properly" Asiva said with a cheer in her undertone which resolved all the tension in the room.
The mythical figure was in Dombivli in person! This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for most vampire lords to see a figure that they would never have the opportunity to glance upon again.
