857 My Technique Is Quite Scary!
“Pathetic! Kekekeke! I told you, you can’t use that useless toy called system. Do you think it was built on magic? Hahaha! Foolish descendant of these clans… It was built on a grand time and space ability, done by the real powerhouses of your clans.”
I paused once I heard what he just said. Was this… True? I never questioned the origin of the system before, but this…
“Kekeke! There is no harm to tell a dead corpse such secrets. You are going to die anyway, and won’t be able to get any benefits from knowing such secrets, kekeke!”
‘It’s not the time to worry about such things,’ I said to myself, waking my mind and freeing it from what this bastard just said.
What if the system was related to the time and space clans? What if it was just a natural born powerful being in this cosmos? I had to live! That was all that mattered right now.
For a moment there I got such doubt… Why did that bastard start blabbering all these things the moment it came here? Something seemed a bit off.
As I freed myself from what I considered a spell of confusion, I ignored what that bastard said and kept saying, and tried to open anything.
I called onto the system, tried to open my inventory, open my profile, and even my channel! But all were dead! Just like… They were never there!
“Kekekeke! I love it when you get in such a panic! Nothing from your universe will work here! You got nothing but that power, and it’s now gone! Do you know why? Because this system trash isn’t your power to begin with! Shocked? Terrified? You should be, kekekeke!”
I got nothing but that power? Just as I heard this phrase, I felt an immense shock deep down my soul.
I didn’t only have this power. In fact, and for a reason I didn’t know yet, the system kept encouraging anyone to open his cultivation base and walk down this different path.
I never got it! But right now, I realised that if I survived here, it would be thanks to this puzzling move.
Yes, I got my cultivation power backing me up! I wasn’t just a system dependent as this bastard thought, I got a cultivation base.
And dude… My cultivation base was… Quite scary!
“Are you feeling terrified now? Can you feel it? Such hopelessness seeping deep inside your soul? Asking yourself; what was all that for? Kekeke! Let me tell you, you just grew up, fought and survived, just to come here and turn into my dinner. Miserable? I know, you are all weak and useless, just fated to lie in a lower food chain than me, kekeke!”
“Shut the f*ck up!” I got fed up with what he was saying. And… What was with that weird and creepy laugh?
The moment I shouted, I stopped, turned around, and did my first technique. I did it so many times already to make me able to execute it in mere seconds.
“You…” and once my black threads appeared, that colossal beast stopped and seemed quite shocked. “Kekekeke! You are more amusing than everyone else. Do you think mimicking that universe’s huge power is easy? Is it enough to stop me? Kekeke!”
Damn! This… didn’t scare it!
And how would it be? I looked at my technique, the circle that gushed out lots of threads. It wasn’t… by any means terrifying compared to the enormous body of that behemoth.
Just when I was this close to losing any hope, a miracle happened.
*Rumble!*
It happened just like the world recognised me. I saw a flash of light, coming from my technique, at the centre, just at the place where my fist was there.
It started like a small speck of light, so small to even be smaller than the tip of a needle.
But this tiny speck of light caused a massive rumbling inside my soul. It was like a dam was there, and got shaken fiercely, cracked, and collapsed under the might of this speck of light.
A speck of light, all it took was just this speck of light before this entire dark rocky wall started to change.
Dots of light started to appear, like holes coming from machine guns firing at a wall. I looked around, and from these holes, thin pillars of light started to fall down, all getting bent and attracted to me, to my threads, to my technique, to my circle, to my hand.
And like a magician, I felt like I could control the entire world here, bend it under my will, and give any order I wanted and it would get executed by the world.
Things went all the way from rock bottom to the biggest top here. The one who was supposed to be eaten, was going to eat up his predator!
“No, no, no, the world… My world… My beloved eternal hall… What the hell did you do to my baby?!!!” and when that happened, the monster started to roar, showing a fierce side of itself, so damn different from the all confident and arrogant side it showed so far.
“I’m going to kill you,” I said, and I meant each single word I said. I turned my attention towards my technique… My threads… They were threads anymore, they were thick pythons!
They got thicker, stronger, longer, and much fiercer. They weren’t weak like before, not looking weak compared to that behemoth at least.
All of sudden, that gigantic son of b*tch, that colossal sack of meat turned into such a mediocre ant in my eyes.
I could crush it! And I was going to do it right now.
“Bind it!” I said, ordering my threads like they were living creatures. And with my words and thoughts, they plunged in the direction of that beast, surrounding its body like it was nothing.
“You damn beast! Leave me alone! I should be the one killing you! Stop! Stop this madness right now!”
Oh, it turned into such a crybaby! I looked at it and for a moment there, I got another idea.
“Keep it pinned down,” I pointed my right hand down, “to the ground!”
*Boom!*
