Chapter 595 Epiphany; destruction!
Bzzz!
Legolas finally left the soul domain.
Instantly after his soul left, he felt a force pulling him as his soul instinctively went back to his body before being attached to it.
Blink!
Legolas' eyes finally blinked open for the first time in a long time.
Opening his eyes, he felt groggy at first.
He squinted his eyes to focus and this was when he finally noticed his surroundings. Looking around, only one thought dominated his mind.
'How much time did I spend in the soul domain?!'
At this moment, dust particles were already forming all over the inside of the Titan Emperor's palace.
He could understand the fact that after Nico Guaguam's rampage here, this palace would become vulnerable after its destruction and also due to its location being in the desert, but not even this should happen so fast.
For dust to gather so fast, a reasonable period of time should have passed.
Moving his head, Legolas heard it creak from stiffness.
He looked beyond all the dusts, and the first thing he noticed was the lack of the scrap materials that were left of the Titan Immortals after Nico Guaguam's rampage. His eyes widened, someone was here!
Legolas' eyes shot towards the right immediately.
There, he saw him.
Legolas saw a middle-aged Nak warrior sitting cross-legged at the other side of this room, sitting directly before what was left of the Titan Emperor's corpse.
Legolas could not mistake his yellow skin and tall physique, this was unmistakably a Nak warrior, the question was what was he doing here?
One thought instantly entered his mind. '…the coward that is still in hiding for 90 years'.
During his preparations to confront Eodon, he also stole abilities from beasts that enabled him to eavesdrop on the conversations of the Titan Immortals all the way inside their palace, that was when he heard of this coward.
Apparently, of all the Nak warriors that came to this space pocket world to get the inheritance of the Titan Emperor, one of them survived.
He refused to return home though, for 90 years, he stayed in the wilderness, crafting crazy plan after crazy plan to force his way to his goal, the inheritance.
Despite failing repeatedly, he kept on trying.
Legolas' face turned weird. 'Was this the warrior?'
He indeed felt strong for a Grade B+ Pugilist. Without a doubt, he was stronger than all the Pugilists that Legolas met in Planet Rockfest during his training, he was probably the best of his era.
But at this moment, Legolas felt different in a weird way.
In the outside world, this Pugilist was probably an above the top combat prodigy but standing before him, Legolas just felt like he was looking at a kid.
Yet, they were in the same grade.
'Is this because of all the inheritances that I got?'
'Am I that powerful already?'
While all these thoughts went through Legolas' mind, this warrior's eyes already widened like saucers as he finally noticed the presence of the intruder.
Seeing the human corpse that he already disregarded long ago stand up and staying at him, this Pugilist almost felt his heart jump out through his throat.
It was that feeling of seeing your long-dead grandfather standing before you.
He felt like he was staring at a ghost.
This was no ordinary Pugilist though, this Nak warrior was a prodigy of his time as his incredible combat instincts enabled him to react instantly.
In less than a second, he sprang up to his feet, unleashed his sword, before dashing rapidly towards this summoner, intent on getting the initiative.
'What happened in the outside world during my 90 years here?'
'Is the Nak State no longer a thing?'
'How did a human make his way here when only the best prodigies of the Nak State are eligible to make it here after the grand tournament?'
'This human…, he definitely should be killed'.
This Pugilist's eyes narrowed in determination, but the next moment…
BZZZZ!
An apocalyptic eruption of mental energy occurred the next moment as a wall of telekinesis formed before this Pugilist instantly.
This Nak warrior was caught off-guard, he collided against it.
Bam!
Instantly, he felt dizzy, his thoughts became haphazard.
Before he could recover and react, it was over...
"Temporal Control: Pause".
Bzzz!
Instantly, this Nak warrior got frozen in time.
Everything except his thoughts were frozen, he was aware in this moment but he could not move.
This Pugilist felt horrified. 'He already understood the concepts of time energy?!"
"Temporal Control: Acceleration".
BZZZZ!
Without his volition, this Pugilist suddenly moved forward at such a rapid speed that all he saw was a blur. Before his brain could register what just happened, he felt a sensation of a powerful hand grabbing hold of his neck.
In less than a millisecond, he arrived before Legolas' outstretched right hand after Legolas accelerated the time around him and pushed him forward with his telekinesis. Instantly, this prodigy was decapitated.
Legolas did all these without moving an inch from his initial position.
Yet, he was on the same grade as this Nak Pugilist prodigy.
This Nak warrior was going insane.
Legolas just looked at him curiously.
The Pugilist shuddered. "W-who are you?"
"Are you Yang Liu?"
"…"
This warrior froze. "How did you…?"
Legolas smiled, cutting him off. "We're allies then".
Yang Liu was the last warrior that President Dunk told him that was sent into the space pocket inheritance world of the Titan Emperor.
Legolas finally dropped this player even as he still struggled to recover from his shock, then he observed the world outside.
At this moment, this world was already crumbling apart.
Almost all the time energy stored in the Titan Emperor's corpse was already exhausted at this corpse slowly turned into an emaciated dry husk.
And after the clash between Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac and his Titan Immortals against Emperor Nico Guaguam, the foundations of this world were affected.
They were affected even more when The Demonification Mage stretched his influence here and now, this space pocket world was finally on the verge of destruction.
It already fulfilled its purpose of inheritance now it was dying.
Legolas inclined his head to look at Yang Liu. "Did you manage to comprehend any time-related concepts?"
"Not yet but I felt my only time ability increase in efficacy".
"Ok". Legolas nodded. "At this point, I think we have less than 5 days to try getting our last benefits from this inheritance before the world collaspes".
"If you want, join me".
Without waiting for Yang Liu's replay, Legolas sat cross-legged the next moment before the now dry husk of Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac.
Since coming into this world, his power already experienced a meteoric increase but he was not satisfied yet, he wanted more power.
Yang Liu stood, looking speechlessly at this human.
There were a lot of things wrong with this human, he struggled to believe why the Nak State would agree to send a human here when there were tons of talented young Nak warriors waiting for the slot but he could not ask.
This was because of the ridiculous power difference between them.
He looked hesitantly at the fracturing world before looking back at the human, then he asked. "How are you so strong?"
Legolas did not open his eyes. "Determination".
This warrior's eyes widened, then the next moment he also went closer before sitting cross-legged as he put all his focus on the corpse of Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac to get this warrior's last inheritance.
Again, Legolas lost track of time as he immersed himself in the feeling.
He basked in temporal energy; he bathed in the feeling.
The more he bathed in this energy, the faster this world collapsed as the remnant temporal energy supporting this world were slowly absolved.
Legolas and Yang Liu's temporal powers and abilities grew.
This time, Legolas did not have Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac's consciousness to direct him but after listening to the Emperor for over a hundred years already, he could instinctively hear his voice in his head.
Even in death, Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac was still teaching him.
'You've mastered the concept of time control'.
'Now, focus on the concept of destruction…'
Legolas was not sure if it was his own brain talking but he did as he heard, instinctively, he focused on the destruction happening in this world.
He observed as this world slowly crumbled from within.
He observed as the wildlife was thrown into a panic.
He watched as the historic beasts and the immensely powerful Titanoboas tried to run for their lives, he watched the sheer destruction in display.
He observed as the deprivation of temporal energy brought destruction to this world, and this was when his eyes widened…, he got an epiphany.
'Every act of creation is first an act of destruction…,' His eyes glowed in understanding as he observed the destruction in display.
"The world is crumbling". Yang Liu shouted the next moment. "We need to leave now!"
Legolas did not answer this Nak warrior.
This Pugilist did not wait though, he left the next moment.
Bzzz!
Only Legolas remained in this world with a smile on his face as he observed the destruction while also paying attention to Emperor Gustacus Dodomaniac's corpse. "Thank you, teacher".
Legolas raised his right fist, red energy gathered on it and he clenched it.
BOOM…!
This world finally crumbled.
