Lord Akbar wasn't as famous as Lord Starry Sword, but his strength had already reached the low-level of the Superior God Realm. He was much more powerful than Darren. Darren was surprised when he offered to be his sworn brother. What was even more shocking was how Lord Akbar deferred to him as his big brother. For some reason, Darren couldn't process what had happened.
"Sir, are you confused?" In his confusion, he wondered why such a powerful warrior would consider him as a big brother all of a sudden.
"I call you my big brother because I'm trying to be polite, kiddo. But that doesn't mean that I consider you my senior. I won't be bowing down to you anytime soon. You just have to accept the fact that I'm your sworn brother now," Lord Akbar said.
Darren found himself at a loss of words. He thought that Lord Akbar was being too rash to consider him as a brother.
"Akbar, why do you insist to be my sworn brother?" he asked, smiling slightly.
"Wow. How dare you address me without my title? Are you challenging me to a fight?" Lord Akbar lifted his hand as if he was about to launch an attack.
"Wait a minute!" Darren called out. "Can't I call you by your name now that we're brothers? Or would you rather that I call you little brother?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Akbar was stunned. It seemed like Darren had already agreed to be his sworn brother. He thought about it carefully and decided that he was too old to be called someone's little brother. It would indeed be better if Daren called him by his name instead.
"Very well then. You can just call me Akbar. And that's that. Please take good care of me from now on." Lord Akbar finally conceded.
"But how am I supposed to protect you? I'm just a weak Defiant Master. It won't be easy for me to do that." Darren sighed dramatically. However, he was only pretending to be sad deep down.
"It will be alright. With your precious talent, you're sure to become a supreme god as long as you continue to survive. It is my honor to have you as my big brother," Lord Akbar reassured with a smile.
"Oh, could it be that you have sensed my God Character?" Darren seemed surprised by this.
"Of course! Do you take me for a fool?" He scowled at Darren and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you have the ability to evolve, am I right?"
"Evolution?" Darren raised his eyebrows at that. He currently had the skill of assimilating talent. It was Xavier Chu, Darren's another self, who had the skill that Akbar was referring to. However, he had already killed Xavier.
In the end, he failed to acquire Xavier's God Character. It had seemingly disappeared without a trace after Xavier's death.
"I'm afraid you're wrong. I don't have the ability of evolution." Darren shook his head.
"What? How could I possibly get that wrong? You really don't have that thing?" Akbar's shock had spurred him to suddenly stand up.
"Wait. What do you mean by 'that thing'?" Darren asked.
"Of course I meant the God Character! The one that is beyond the Supreme God Realm level!"
Lindsay and Finley were startled by Akbar's outburst.
Everyone knew that the human supreme gods were the most powerful warriors in the Primitive Wilderness apart from the nine chief gods. If what he was saying was true, that meant Darren had obtained the Chief God Character. Was that possible?
But the nine chief gods had been alive since the ancient times. None of them was dead yet. How could Darren possibly obtain a Chief God Character? Did it mean that a Chief God Character could be obtained naturally?
"Oh no. I just said it." Akbar hastily covered his mouth with his hand. There was a flash of panic in his eyes.
"Hey, don't stop now. What's so special about my God Character? How and why do I have such a powerful God Character?" Darren asked.
"How would I know? I'm only guessing. If you say you don't have the God Character of evolution, then I'm simply barking up the wrong tree." It was obvious that Lord Akbar was trying to hide something from them.
"I may not have the God Character of evolution, but I have another God Character that can help me improve my talent. Is that the 'thing' you're talking about?" Darren smiled.
