‘System, pour out all of the energy in a single shot,’ Ryuk commanded, deactivating his *Shunya* and making his presence visible to everyone since he would not be sane enough to focus on anything.
His actions seemed excessive, but they were necessary to make contact with the people who created this Mechanism, and the reason to do all this was that lost language inscribed on this platform.
Even the artifact in Drishti’s hand was influenced by his ability, cutting off the unknown energy it was receiving through runes. Although it still functioned, there was a noticeable effect.
But on that simple room’s door, his ability didn’t sever the energy from its source; instead, that language seemed to operate on a different principle, not simply drawing energy from something unknown and processing it, which allowed him to go this far in becoming a death flag himself.
[ Initiating….]
SWOOOOOOSHHH!
As if a dam had been broken, releasing the flow of a thousand tons of water into a small passage, it drenched his whole body from within, instantly increasing his energy levels.
[ Energy Reaching Limits: Early LEGENDARY –» Early ZENITH ]
[ Force Extraction initiated ]
Seeing Conduit hitting the limit of not being able to provide all of its energy in a single go, the System forced it.
[ Conduit’s Energy Level falling: 80% –» 70% –» 60%….]
DING!
[ Energy Crossing Limit: Early ZENITH –» Middle ZENITH –» Peak ZENITH ]
CRACCKLLLE
“Kughh?!” Ryuk’s body instantly became a source of illumination, engulfing the entire hall in intense energy, causing even the walls, reinforced by magic circles, to tremble at a rapid pace due to uncontrollable energy surging out of his body.
CRUMBLE
BANG!
“What is happening?!” One of the individuals shouted as a piece of the roof fell directly onto the floor beside him, instantly breaking it and leaving a small crater due to the impact.
“We can’t move our bodies?!” Panic filled the whole hall as they found themselves stuck in their positions.
They were not weak, but the problem was that the falling pieces from the roof were denser, and they were unable to move.
Earlier, Ryuk’s contemplation about these people being only strong individuals seemed to be true.
Except for six people present inside this place, everyone was in horror.
They were not fighters but employees, still with the criteria of selection being EPIC, which made them eat and apply several forbidden methods to increase their energy level to that place.
More like a facade of EPIC rank but not even able to defeat lower-ranked Veterans, now their bodies under the influence of The Authority were nothing but statues.
Did Drishti care about these people?
No.
After all, her eyes with slightly contracting nerves within them reflected the intense light coming out of the individual whose body was lifted to an inch from the floor.
CRACK! CRUNCH! RUMBLE!
‘…..’ Sitting on the throne, which was also not spared by the impact, causing the ground to break instantly reaching to her legs, the throne’s armrest gripped in the hand which broke them instantly.
‘Come on, Just one more,’ Drishti’s mind for the first time felt a surge of excitement, not because of the power causing the whole place to soon get destroyed but wanting to see that energy break threshold and reach the next level.
“H-he is a m-monster!” The old man nearby the Slab was the most affected by this event because everyone knew that this individual was only seventeen years old, yet he had already surpassed his mother’s strength, breaking all previous records.
BANG!
SPLASH!
“AGGGHHHH!” One of the men’s eyes widened, seeing the fallen rubble crushing the man beside him instantly.
They were far more capable of protecting themselves if they utilized their energy, but it seemed they had no prior experience in battle, except for just having very low dense energy making them appear at that level.
Ether-infused walls possessing a hardness of 1 million tons, falling from 20 feet, were far capable of killing them, who had the strength of Phase 1.
“P-please…Save…L-lady?!” Turning their eyes with only pupils moving towards the woman seated on the throne, drenched in a light accentuating her beauty even more, but it wasn’t something they needed to care about in front of death.
Snap
“Mffff?!”
Seeing them disturbing her show, a single snap caused all the remaining eleven men’s mouths to disappear.
Yes, it was erased and replaced with covered skin, stretching due to their jawbones opening, but pain due to skin tearing caused their eyes to have only agony in that moment.
This small event even proved how she doesn’t need to speak to use her Authority, which was able to bend reality if needed to a certain extent instead of just controlling someone’s body.
‘Liege,’ Regina seated on the throne, was looking at the young man whose strength was rising with each passing moment, no, more specifically, he was revealing his true strength, which he even kept secret when fighting Lady Drishti.
The reason for Drishti and Regina to not doubt it being a momentarily boost was because it was not possible to rise several ranks instantly.
It may seem confusing, but differences were in Quadrillions and Quintillions, let alone the energy in front of them was soon going to break through the ceiling of the above rank.
Even Drishti was aware of the Conduit being a Heaven-grade Artifact which sucked out energy and resonated the stronger the target is, but just taking raw energy and filling it inside someone’s core was not possible.
It’s just not possible, or else everyone would have become powerhouses with ease.
Energy Core can destroy instantly the moment one crosses a certain value of limit, it grows slowly instead of just boosting at once.
“Ughh!” Ryuk’s body started to become one with a feeling far surpassing any limit; it felt like he was himself an Ether Core, his eyes glowing in an Amber aura with his body completely an energy source in itself.
It was impossible for him to not know the reason for his energy core not destroying due to these energy boosts, even though he used *Shunya*, but it was just to protect his insides from being burned by his own Core.
Everyone’s size of the energy core was decided at birth, or instead slowly grew with them.
And Ryuk’s core fell into the first category, evident of the effect of his paternal side.
[ Conduit’s Energy level falling: 30% — 20% — 5%!]
[ Breaking The Limit –» Early 〖ASCENDANCY〗 ]
BOOOOOOOM!
The whole platform was blasted into several tiny pieces the moment his energy levels rose to that level, sending a shockwave to instantly destroy the whole hall.
Which was once called Flagbearer Confirmation Section, now a rubble.
CRUMBLE
THUD! THUD!
Pieces kept falling on the floor, while costing some meager lives, since all these sounds were just a backdrop in front of two people whose gaze was fixed on each other.
Two sharpest and most deep amber eyes were fixed on each other with only them existing in that place and no one else.
Drishti’s eyes finally seeing something which really accelerated her mind, felt a rush to utter the words which she had waited too long to say to someone in her unknown life span, beautiful petal life’s parting with gaze fixed on the young man’s eyes, a soft yet vivid voice reverberated throughout the hall,
“Congratulations for surpassing our founding Ancestor, Ryuk.”
About Confusion, Conduit was artifact placed since foundation of Heindal, So it had stored so much energy but in front of super strong individuals, it was one shot piggy bank.
Also, About Power system, there could be several confusions, but Book’s tag being Overpowered will soon take effect, once, Ryuk leaves this place, I will also try to soon declare official marriage of him with someone special. ( Also don’t think, I will leave heroines behind, they are fated to return back at Ryuk in some way, not love, I meant, meetings)
So, Let Author Cook.
