I was rooted to the spot while my gaze was fixed on the scene before me.
The spaceship was floating in the air, as it was slowly ascending. Hubbub and murmurs filled my ears as many soldiers who were witnessing the scene surrounded me.
After ascending to a particular height, the spaceship stood still for a moment before it vanished from the spot.
My eyes went wide when I saw that, but suddenly, Lily's voice reached my ears.
"Its speed is so fast that you cannot see the ascend with your naked eyes."
I was shocked. But then I remembered that this world is technologically advanced and they could do anything.
After taking a deep breath, I turned around to look at her. Her eyes were still fixed on the empty space, lost in her thoughts. I could feel the longing in her eyes. She really wants to go back to the frontier.
After a while, she shook her head and took a deep breath, and looked at me.
"What are you looking at?" Her brows were arched while her lips curled into a smile.
"I could feel your emotions. You want to enjoy that life again, right?" I said, while my eyes were fixed on her cute face.
She was shocked for a moment before she nodded. "Yes, I want to go back and enjoy that life again. Even though that life is filled with danger, I really enjoyed the thrill."
She exhaled. "I was helpless before. Even though we are so advanced, we didn't have any methods to restore my power. But as if luck is on my side, we recently obtained the method to restore my power back."
Her eyes were fixed on me. "You are the lucky star of my life. That was also the reason I agreed to help you with the competition. Once my powers are restored, it would be very useful to you."
I nodded, but just as I was about to speak. A man's hoarse voice interrupted me.
"Who are you?"
My brows were arched, as my gaze shifted to a soldier walking towards me. He was quite handsome, but he couldn't compare to me. I could feel the hostility in his eyes.
He had a frown on his face, but suddenly he smiled as he looked at Lily.
"How are you doing Lily?"
Hmm? Why is he behaving like a fool?
When I glanced at Lily, she had a frown on her face.
"Why are you here? You should be at the base, right?"
The man shook his head and said, "I was injured and came back from there. You don't know, but the situation at the base is quite bad."
He paused and looked at me. "Who are you? What is your relationship with Tanya?"
My brows were arched while my lips curled into a smile. Another fool is trying to intimidate me. There is no shortage of fools in this world.
"Why should I tell you?" I replied back. Many of these soldiers don't know about me.
And, as expected, his frown turned deeper. "You know who I am?"
But before I could reply, Lily interrupted, "He doesn't have to know."
He had a surprised expression on his face as he turned to look at Lily. "Why are you siding with him. I know that you don't have a good feeling about me. But you also know that I was the one who helped you when you were in need. And now, just for the sake of an outsider, you are standing against me? Don't you know about my family?"
So he is the prodigal son of some family, huh? Why do these people always try to scare others by mentioning their families? I could see that he fled from the battlefield just to save his life. And now he is trying to scare others.
Lily's voice interrupted my thoughts. "First, I didn't need your help. Second, I always hated you. Third, you can't afford to offend him and finally, I know that you are just a coward who just fled from the base. You don't deserve my respect. I also know that you were trying hard to woo Tanya. But she is more ruthless than me. If you had used this tone in front of her, she would have killed you on the spot. You know about her position in the forces. Your family, don't have the guts to offend her and one more thing. He is Alan, one of the candidates for Prime Three, and he is especially nominated by Alexandra and Chief. Now tell me, do you have the guts to offend him?"
His face turned ugly when he heard Lily's words. His gaze shifted to me. "You are going to regret it,"
His gaze shifted to Lily and after taking one last look at her, he turned around to leave.
My brows were raised, and my eyes were fixed on him. My lips curled into a smile before I sent a small black thread of Death into his stomach.
That was the Power of Death. After gaining the memories of my past self, I could use many Powers now, and this was one of the Power.
He doesn't even realize that he is going to die soon. No one in this world could deduce that I was the one who killed this man.
Who the fuck was he to threaten me? I don't care about morality. If anyone dares to show any hostility towards the people I care about. They will die.
I saw that many people were looking at me with wariness. While many had fawning smiles on their faces.
I took a deep breath and turned to look at Lily. Her gaze was fixed on the departing figure of that man.
"Who was he?" I finally asked this question. Even though I don't care about the identity of that man. I wanted to know about his background. Many people in this world had a powerful background. I just don't want to waste my time dealing with them. It's better to know about the people in this world. Maybe someone would be helpful to me in the future.
"His name is Andrew Black. One of the sons of the Black Family. They are one of the most ancient families on this planet. His great grandfather is a Supreme Level Power user. That is the reason he is flaunting his power in front of us. Even though he was born talented, he spent most of his time chasing after girls. A true coward who would betray anyone in front of the Profits. This is not the first time that he has fled from the battlefield. There were always the cases when he left the battlefield in between missions. But since he is from the Black Family, the higher-ups of the forces have endured his behavior. His grandfather dotes him the most. That is the reason he became the Prodigal son of the Black family."
She looked at me and said, "After I joined the forces, he tried to suppress me. He wanted me to be his playing. But because of Tanya, he was unable to suppress me. But he was also after Tanya. But her position on the forces was quite special. He always created trouble for us. Anyway, you don't have to think about him. Since you are one of the candidates for the Prime Three and are specially recruited by Alexandra, no one in this world would dare to threaten your position. But you have to be careful. Even though they wouldn't take any action. There are always the chances that someone would attack you in the dark."
She took a deep breath and said, "We should go now. I don't want to spend more time here in this place. Anyway, I would show you your house."
She said and turned around to leave. I could see that many gazes were fixed on me. While my eyes were fixed on the departing figure of Lily. Many thoughts churned into my mind while I followed her.
No one in this world could threaten me. Even though someone is a Supreme Level Power user. I know that I could fight them evenly. But that is not enough. I have to be more powerful so that I could suppress this world.
Yes, I want to surpass this world. Until and unless I show my Power, no one would fear me. Yes, I want to instill fear in the heart of these people. If they don't know my Powers, someone or the other would always try to harm or plot against me. And I don't want to waste my time in these useless fights.
Once I suppress everyone, it would be time for me to leave this world. I will not make the same mistake as my past self. I would take everyone with me. Even though I was transmigrated to this world, I don't have any attachment towards these people. I only care about the people who were with me when I needed them, that's all.
I took a deep breath and followed Lily and left this place.
