Chapter 23 - Setting up a Foundation

Jasmine: You've been continuously doing this these past few days?

She was standing beside Jean, who was soaked in medicinal liquid.

Jean: Yeah…

Jasmine: Are you not afraid of sudden death?

Jean: Hah, you need more if you want to kill me…

Jasmine: You overestimate yourself. Did you think that there will only be water in that waterfall? If a boulder somehow had gotten mixed in, fell and smash on your body, your body could snap into two halves… I want to know, for what reason, are you so desperate?

Jean: The reason, huh? Well… Reason may look stupid, but I want to achieve power and make a good foundation as fast as possible. My dream is to surpass everyone and become the strongest… Only then no one will ever think of doing something bad at me…

Jasmine: So you only want to be as strong as possible?

Jean: Yes, only when one has absolute power one can think of living peacefully, this is the world, it doesn't care about your status, if you have power, then you can do things… I never believed the phrase "There is someone better than you". If there was really someone like that, then who is the current strongest person?

First I conquest this waterfall, then the world…

Jasmine: Alright, then this princess will observe how long you'll need to conquer this waterfall. But before that… Immediately, go buy a new set of clothes for me! Including undėrwėȧr, outerwear shoes, and hair ribbons!

Jean: ...You are right, we need some change of clothes… About going somewhere, why were you in that mountain?

Jasmine: It was to find the five Evil God's secret grounds, mentioned in the memories of the Evil God's blood. Amongst them, one of the Evil God's secret ground's location was vaguely around the Blue Wind Empire's eastern area.

As I was searching for it, the acute poison became active…. The rest of the story, you should already roughly understand.

Jean: ...And when did you think to tell me about the secret grounds?

Jasmine: Uh…

She was unable to reply, indeed, it was really idiotic for her to forget about them…

Jasmine: Well, the Evil God's memories had mentioned that this Profound Sky Continent was created by the Evil God at that time; on this Profound Sky Continent, he had five places of refuge. Before his downfall, he left five "Seeds" in these respective five places. It also clarified that only those who had inherited his power, would be able to find them!

Jean: I see…

He checked the time on his watch.

[15:03]

[9/10/1994]

[H: "Heat"]

Jean: Well, I will go find some clothes, come inside.

Jasmine nodded and entered in the Sky Poison Pearl while he took out his Dodge Tomahawk before driving back at the Cyan Forest Town.

7 more days passed, and Jean got new clothes, however…

Jasmine: Don't want it! I'd never wear anything purple!

Jasmine: I'd rather not wear anything, than to wear something crude like this! I don't want any of these clothes!

...Not really a nice week, and the 7 powers he gained were:

"Iron: Ability: You can turn your body in iron, making your body stronger than you were before.

Effects: If unleashed in the entire body, it could lower your mobility to the minimum or even 0, except for flying."

"Jail: Ability: You can create a jail made of your own energy to close two dimensions or trap your opponent, once they are trapped, their presence is sealed off, their energy cannot be detected from anyone except you, and their voices cannot be heard from anyone outside, no one is able to destroy it, even if the difference between the your strength and the other party is abyssal.

"Knowledge: Ability: You are able to analyze any flaw and characteristics from a target or anyone that is in your sight, you can even copy their techniques and correct them yourself, making them perfect for you.

Effects: Nothing notable."

"Overkill: Ability: You get stronger the more you kill, allies, enemies, insects, beasts, anything, except batteries or things like that.

Effects: The boost will be permanent even after midnight."

Right now Jean was on a rampage against every beast he found and could kill, much to Jasmine's surprise, she kept asking what he was doing and about his watch, but the only thing that she got from him was that the watch is used to check time and day, but he never explained anything else about it.

For his powers, she could only understand what he could do only by seeing it with her nȧkėd eyes.

At the end of the day, he was at the 3rd Elementary Profound Realm due to the number of weak enemies he could kill, and he had a list of flaws of his body when he used Knowledge on himself and would fix when he gets Compulsory once again.

Jean: Hey Jasmine.

Jasmine: Yes?

Her voice came from the Sky Poison Pearl.

Jean: What happened in the year 0?

Jasmine: How can you not know? It's when Jesus is born.

The atmosphere was in silence for a while when Jean said with a weird tone.

Jean: ...Come again?
