Chapter 822: I need to get stronger
Chapter 822: I need to get stronger
A few days later, Kyle's eyes fluttered open. He was surprised to find himself encased in ice. With a sigh, he shifted, causing the ice to shatter into countless particles.
Floating in mid-air, he stretched his arms behind his back and shrugged his legs.
All his injuries were healed, as if he had never been hurt in the first place. However, his torn clothes, stained with dried blood, told a different story.
He glanced around and noticed he was in the midst of the dark expanse, surrounded by distant stars and planets.
The teardrop symbol on the back of his neck glowed, and his appearance shifted to that of a bronze-skinned man once more.
"I need to get stronger..."
He whispered, staring into the darkness for a long time, silently gathering his thoughts.
Getting beaten by Azazeal every time they fought, without even a chance to retaliate, was profoundly painful. It was agonizing to endure such humiliation, with not even an opportunity to defend himself.
It seems he has been too carefree lately, concentrating too much on the affairs of the universe and saving others when he should be focusing on how to become stronger in order to take down Azazeal.
His eyes turned calm as he changed into clean clothes-a dark hoodie and trousers. Then, he tore through space and vanished.
Having already attained the Celestial rank, he now needed something more powerful to grow stronger-something extraordinary. Azazeal had shown him his strength, and the gap between them was too vast.
To bridge that divide, he had to distance himself from everything else. Just like the time he spent in the No Mana Land.
"I need to train my body as well."
An evil smile spread across his face. He would unleash his fury towards Azazeal on the shadow generals. He could not touch that man yet, but he would snatch the dark side treasures to fill his mind space.
It was time for a thrilling hunt.
In no time, a portion of one of the planets from the dark side was annihilated, with all supreme ranks on the planet dead.
Kyle floated above a large dark pond, his eyes narrowing as he sensed Azazeal's aura emanating from its depths.
"So, this is how so many people acquire dark flowers on their bodies. I was curious if they all received them directly from him."
Icy flames erupted from his body, freezing the pond filled with dark water before the ice shattered into countless particles.
He vanished once he was finished, reappearing on another planet. The space around him fractured like glass as he took a deep breath, attempting to strengthen his grip on the natural law of space. The dark race on the planet sensed his presence, and the supreme ranks attempted to attack, but their bodies were consumed by the very fabric of space itself.
Kyle's eyes glowed as he controlled time alongside space. He broke the portion of space that consumed the supreme ranks and froze the time within that part before attempting to shatter it. What happened next made him raise a brow. No sounds echoed, but the space he had separated vanished into pure natural energy.
The air around him trembled for disrupting nature, but he was not fazed. If nature was so powerful, it would have stopped Azazeal. If it couldn't stop that man, then how could it stop him when it favored him?
He closed his eyes and focused on controlling the gravity around him, waiting for the shadow generals to appear now that he was causing so much trouble in their territory. Yet, as if the three had vanished, no one came to confront him. It took him a few days, but he ultimately succeeded in mastering the natural law of gravity.
At the same time, the terrifying news of a single man slaughtering multiple supreme ranks of the dark side and plundering their treasures spread like wildfire across every planet of the dark side. The entire dark side was plunged into complete chaos; yet, their leaders were all missing.
Those individuals in power on each planet in the dark side immediately contacted their people, who were attacking multiple other planets in the universe to conquer them in search of the Celestial spirits, and asked them to return. They needed to survive first before harming others!
In just a few weeks, every planet that had allied with the shadow generals was tense with dread, fearing that the bronze-skinned man would attack their planet next. Their nerves were stretched taut, and during that time, many who were attacking other planets retreated, causing a glimmer of peace to return to the chaotic universe.
Yet, the man who caused all this remained indifferent. He only killed those of supreme rank- the strongest of their kind-to instill fear in them and ensure they understood what they had signed up for.
Floating above a dark pond, Kyle's eyes flickered with irritation as he realized he could not advance in the natural laws beyond a certain point.
Previously, he could control the natural laws of space and time, and now he had also learned to manipulate the natural laws of wind and gravity. However, beyond that, he was unable to grasp another natural law, nor could he advance in the ones he had learned to manipulate, as if he were stuck.
With a flick of his wrist, he destroyed the fifth pond he had discovered since starting his hunt. It was quite vast, stretching far and wide to occupy a large area.
"Tsk... how did they even create these? They all eagerly bathe in these dark ponds just to become another puppet. Why would they want to be a slave just for power?"
Then he spread his scent perception skill. The air on the dark side of the planet was murky and thick with unpleasant scents, but he carefully located all the treasures on the planet and, within a short time, took every useful item that the dark side had stored in their safes or massive structures.
When he was done, he decided to head to the Sea of Consciousness. It was about time he visited that place.
However, for some reason, he had a nagging feeling that he was forgetting something very important.
He only remembered what it was when his communication crystal buzzed in his mind space. He had already spoken with Alec to inform the man that he was fine and would be moving alone from now on.
Therefore, he was surprised to see a familiar person trying to reach him.
It was fine when he talked with Yue and informed her that he was fine, but then Bia asked him
in an eerie calm voice when he was coming to pick her up; it had been a long time since he had
asked her that.
