Chapter 1157: The Perfect Tool
The boy felt his soul being rapidly stitched together and then strengthened, the intense flow of power being pumped into his body sent him into the air, and the golden radiance he radiated began to awaken all the Blood blessed from their state of slumber, filling them with endless energy.
Their nearly mummified body was filled with golden radiance and those at the threshold of the next level broke through, and the overall power levels of their entire society took another step forward.
A moment before they had been aware that if they failed, none of them would be rising again, to see their bright golden sun once more meant that they had succeeded. The catastrophe had been broken, and they would live and prosper...
They all wanted to cheer but it felt almost strange to do so, they had no right to survive what they had just done, and it was hard to reconcile this fact in their head, but the figure of the massive glowing giant overhead and the absence of one of the golden suns was testament to the fact that among the Blood Blessed, a true powerhouse had arisen.
In the silence, a child asked, "Did we win?"
His voice carried and the golden giant who had just completed his ascension looked down and smiled, "We..."
The golden giant suddenly moved to the side while trying to bring up his arm but his reaction was stalled as Time grounded to a halt around him.
A thin line of red and black swept past his neck and his massive head tumbled from his shoulders.
Lost, who reacted just as quickly as the golden giant, was surrounded by chains of red flames and blasted into the horizon, his screams of anger fading into the distance.
The moment he touched the golden giant that had banished his technique and shook the heavens he had instantly felt the incredible amount of vitality in his body, and the vastness of its soul, and he knew that for a soul that was so mighty, killing the giant would take careful considerations, due to the fact that he was not sure he could extinguish the soul in one blow, and if any part of such a mighty soul escapes, it could easily recreate its body in another location.
Imprisonment was the best option at this time, and this made him cut the giant in two and wrap his Will around every single cell in its body, turning it into a pile of meat he could torture and slowly kill at his leisure.
However, what made him pause was that he could feel every single piece of his Will being stripped from the cells of this giant. It was not consumed as had happened with his previous red sun technique, instead, it had been controlled in a manner that he could not understand.
It was then that the final piece of the puzzle clicked in Shisu's head and he nearly screamed in fright. This entire debacle started because the infinity bubble had been tampered with, his father had fallen and the Dan had become unreachable to anyone who wanted to ascend to a higher level.
Because he still had perfect control of his Will based powers and was not close to ever ascending to a higher level, he had automatically dismissed this problem, with his selfish nature, what did not directly affect him was no concern of his, and now he was suddenly realizing that the entity who could kill his father and prevent others from accessing the Dan, could easily take control of his own when he was in its presence.
His speed barely carried him a mile into the air before he stopped as if he had slammed into an impenetrable wall. In front of him was a man, made from red flames. He recognized this red flame because it was his Will that was no longer in his control.
The man at first did not even seem to notice him, instead he was looking at his hands from different angles, and from the glow in his eyes he was not admiring it, instead he was studying his new form.
Seemingly satisfied with what he had observed, the man looked at Shisu and he smiled,
"This Will of yours is... peculiar. You should know that you are not leaving this place alive." Shisu took a step back, "What are you?"
Cracking his neck the man made from red flames took a corresponding step forward, keeping the distance between them perfectly equal,
"I have been asked that question so many times in the past it is almost becoming annoying. I guess it is partly my fault and also that book, I have always been under the radar, but with my upcoming Ascension, I can no longer be hidden. It is a good thing that while in Doom Star, I will have the perfect tool."
