Overgeared

“You are unlucky to meet me. This must be karma for not accumulating merit on a regular basis.”

A boy with long red hair looked at Hanul with pity as Hanul was trapped in the spatial distortion. The boy was a genius who managed to reach the late great ascension realm in only eight thousand years.

He was a monster who had been in a state of harmony since he was born. His techniques and mystical arts had synergized well with one another regardless of attributes and environment. This allowed him to exert enormous power.

He always overpowered cultivators of a higher realm than him, so the entire cultivation community feared and respected the boy. He felt grateful that people treated him this way. People’s respect and support motivated him.

That’s right. To put it bluntly, the boy was someone who liked being the center of attention. Before he knew it, the boy began working hard to be praised even more. For his own sake, he accumulated merit by respecting his superiors and taking care of his subordinates.

The boy’s perspective was different from that of an ordinary cultivator.

“So, why don’t you usually take care of those around you?” he asked. “If you had been praised like me, you wouldn’t have been in this troublesome situation all alone as you are now.”

“Praised?”

The rampant light trapped in the distorted space took on the shape of a person. It was Hanul, a God of the beginning. He’d taken the form of a human, though he had never been human.

Hanul sneered. “It’s shameful for you to discuss worship with me.”

Hundreds of ripples occurred in the spatial distortion that trapped Hanul. The boy cocked his head. He couldn’t feel any waves of power, but he was surprised to see that his technique was showing signs of collapse.

The distorted space shattered before the boy could understand what was going on. He didn’t have a chance to react.

Fragments of space sparkled like broken glass as Hanul pulled them into his hands instead of letting them scatter in all directions.

“Um...?”

The boy still didn’t understand the phenomenon that was unfolding before his eyes. However, he sensed danger and made a decision.

The chill air around the boy instantly transformed into a barrier of ice. It reflected and absorbed light from all angles, reflecting all kinds of colors on its surface.

Hanul suddenly turned into light and attacked the boy, who had the ice barrier around him.

“Didn’t I say that It was your misfortune to meet me? Even if you turn into light, I know many methods to bind it...”

The sneer on the boy’s face suddenly stiffened. He felt a heavy shock reverberating throughout the barrier. The ice created by the boy couldn’t be melted by any flame and had never been broken, but the intensity of the impact was unusual. He had a bad feeling about this.

Part of the ice wall disappeared without a trace. It wasn’t destroyed. Hanul’s grip devoured it.

A chill went down the boy’s spine.

‘Spatial distortion?’

This was a technique used to summon distorted space. Hanul was using the same secret technique the boy had used on him just moments before.

It was impossible for Hanul to know this technique beforehand. The spatial distortion created by Hanul and the spatial distortion created by the boy were the same in every single way.
