Another Stupid Isekai-Chapter 946 T.D.O.N.B: You Reap What You Sow
The only path to possible victory was putting the world on its head. I couldn't do that, but I didn't have to. I just had to move to the correct place. A place where everything didn't work according to your usual rules. The place where it all started.
As we returned in all of our glory to the Sky Palace on Quel'kabar. Greeted by all the servants and all the officials, heading to sit down on this weird throne, next to the giant crystal, I took us somewhere else.
The one move I could pull out by surprise was to shadow walk us to the World Tree.
In the first second, he was surprised because he suddenly found himself among the roots of that massive plant. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
- You... - left his mouth, as he concluded who was the culprit.
His reaction was devastating. A pressure so strong, that nobody, nothing, could withstand it. I was like a little seed that just got hit by a hammer, and my fate was sealed. I was to fall apart, crushed into nothing.
- You little rat, hiding in the corner! You survived! You should have stayed there for eternity, but you decided to be stupid! Now I will end you! Ha ha! - left my own mouth.
And then it happened. He crushed me. He turned me into nothing. He achieved his grand victory, this time, for sure. Or... That's something that would happen if we weren't in the place we actually were.
On this planet, though, the rules were different. Some things worked as they were supposed to, but others didn't, and one could only understand those rules by experimenting. Trying what was right, and what was wrong, but for The Great One, in that very moment, there was no room for trying. There was only space for doing. So he did what he did, despite the feelings that didn't even get to reach him. He crushed me.
Just to get ejected from my body, which, once again was in my own hands. Imagine the grin that suddenly showed on my face and the surprise on his face of a silhouette of the human that he has become.
- I guess that tables have turned - I said.
Well... It was much more of an inaudible mumbling, as I wasn't fully used to moving all the parts properly, but just for the sake of the drama of the situation, let's pretend that I did say it properly.
- Y-you... H-how? How?! - he glanced around quickly like he was expecting his father to show up, and confess it was all his doing.
That he wan against him once again. That he humiliated him once again by taking everything from him, but there were just the two of us there.
I wanted to beat the shit out of him, but I knew better. Violence wasn't allowed in that very sacred place. I could feel it in my bones. My whole existence was telling me that. Fortunately, the fool came up with the solution to the problem just by himself.
He started running to escape. At first, on foot, climbing the roots as a regular human would. I followed him with ease. My body was unbelievably strong. Even with the World Tree so close to us, what was left of my powers, was more than enough.
It still lasted for hours, as I really enjoyed the panic he was showing, not to mention the time which was reacquired for me to get used to being in control of the muscles. The main reason, though, was still the same, to not break the rules. Very quickly we got very far away from the tree itself, and the further we got, the faster we both were becoming until he finally was able to fly.
I couldn't follow him like that, but I had a different option. First of all, I carefully assessed which of my skills would work properly, without disturbing the rules, and then I was able to pave a way for myself with the plates made out of the void essence.
He clearly wasn't understanding that I was not attacking him because of the rules of that place. He also probably wished to regain his powers properly, before confronting me, so he remained adamant about getting the hell away from the planet.
Eventually, he did. The very moment that happened, I closed the already short distance vie shadow walk, and blasted him in the face with my fist, using some bright type of Ki, so I would still land it, despite him not having a real body.
He tried to prevent it. A crushing telekinetic force, that probably would tear apart a whole planet, suddenly tried to crush me. It wasn't enough. It wasn't anywhere nearly enough.
I blasted him so strongly, that for a moment he lost the ability to hold himself together, and turned into a fog of energy, just to quickly regain his form. I didn't stop there, though. Armed with the bright type of ki, flowing in my hands, I kept attacking, hitting every little part of him, and there were many parts, as he was constantly changing forms under the pressure of my punches.
His demise was inevitable, and he knew it, desperately trying to defend himself. He couldn't even attack me, all he could was to try and block my hits while tempting to sneak his way into my mind. Mind that was now too powerful for him. Mind that was influenced by all the whispers from the void, creating a wall of noise even he couldn't pass through.
I was not gonna give him even a little bit of space. He was to die then and there, definitively. And he did. Torn apart, crushed, decimated. I made sure that even the little fragments couldn't once again become whole. I didn't leave anything that would have even the tiniest bit of psionic energy to it.
That's how his story ended. Mine, though, still haven't. I had plenty of things to do. Plenty of things to fix and explain.
