With a better understanding of the trial's riddle, Bobby knows now what he needs to do to complete it.
"Devil's Eyes, activate!" He uttered softly and the next instant his eyes glinted with cyan for a fraction of a second and returned to his normal clear blue eyes. Then he looked at the statue and used the X-ray vision, but it didn't work on the statue again. "Fine, time to test my theory."
Bobby then gazed upward and focused on the eyes of the stone statue underneath the bottom of the sea. The moment his eyes made eye contact with the eyes of the stone statue, a reaction happened as the eyes of the statue glinted with purple, and a strong rippled of waves occurred between Bobby and the stone statue.
Bang!
His body was thrown back significantly from the strong ripples and he eventually stabilized himself after several minutes, and then he turned his attention toward the stone statue, which now appeared to be exactly the shape of a normal human since he was now very far away from it.
He pondered, brooding. "Each time I glanced at its eyes, there was no such intense reaction as before, which means it was only reacting when I looked at it with the Devil's Eyes technique... It makes proper sense to me now. In this case, I should move toward it gradually while bearing the pressure of its ocular eyes while I activate my ocular technique and gradually have my eyes' power be able to bear the pressure before I can reach near it."
Bobby first took a deep breath and then he calmed his mind as he shut his eyes. As he meditated, after several minutes, he gained a state where all his other senses like hearing, smelling, touching, and taste were all maimed, and instead, his sense of vision in his eyes got heightened to an incredible level. Even as he closed his eyes, he could become more sensitive to the surrounding light than he ever was before.
At that time, he finally opened his eyes, and a dazzling light emitted from his eyes, then the next moment it returned to normal, but there was something different from before as he could finally see from a different perspective unlike before.
Right now, Bobby lost all his other senses except for the excessively served eyes, which seemed like absorbing the light particles underneath the water.
With a thought, he spoke in his mind, saying. "Devil's Eyes Technique, activate!"
His eyes turned cyan at the same moment and vanished in a split second, returning to the original color as he zoomed in on the eyes of the statue from so far away.
At that moment, his eye made eye contact with the stone statue, and the eyes of the statue gleamed but with an inconspicuous purple dot, and pressure was sent toward him, but this time it did not reach him as the ripple was tiny and vanished within inches from the source.
"Then time to move closer to it." He whispered under his breath and he strolled toward the statue while making eye contact with the stone statue, taking step by step.
With time as he got closer to the stone statue, the eyes of the stone statue also gleamed with more purple light, and the ripples sending out from it also became stronger and stronger and finally after he reached a spot exactly 650 meters from the stone statue, the pressure on his body became so strong that he halted his movement and continued enduring it.
After one minute, two minutes, three minutes quickly passed, and by the time 5 minutes passed he could bear the pressure and then took another step, and then he halted again at that spot bearing the pressure of the ocular skill reaction from the stone statue, and it continued that way as he moved toward the stone statue, like turtle steps.
The cyan color in his eyes also glowed brighter and brighter as he moved toward the giant stone statue. When he finally reached the spot, 127 meters away from the giant stone statue, he found himself back at the location where he had been blasted away earlier.
It was the first time he felt an unbearable amount of pressure on his body, and as well, his eye also felt this itchy feeling for the first time, however, this time the strong ripples from the stone statue didn't blast him away because the resistance from his ocular skill had also been rapidly growing all this time, henceforth canceling most of the pressure from the stone statue's eyes.
Considering the fact that he would not be a further step forward, for the time being, he made a sitting poster with his body in a lotus position, and then he continued gazing at the purple eyes of the stone statue, grinding his ocular skill in the meantime.
It took only two hours for time to fly by as two hours had already transpired, but this time it wasn't able to adapt just like last time, as the strain between the strain over his body and his eyes increased over time, as even more cracks appeared over his skin over his body, and his eyes emitted even brighter cyan lights and the white regions of his eyes reddened as multiple red veins appeared.
Bobby endured it for another hour by gnashing his teeth and clenching his palms. Despite that, his ocular power failed to improve this time.
In consequence, the pressure over his body and eyes became so intense that multiple cracks opened over his body, causing red blood to spray all over the surrounding water. At the same time, his eyes still gazing at the eyes of the stone statue continued to watch as he knew in his deepest consciousness that if he gave up here, then eventually he could never pass this trial in his life, so giving up was never in his menu.
His eyes started bleeding as drops of blood came out from his eyes due to rupturing of the multiple minute blood vessels inside his eyes.
It became increasingly difficult for him to see and the cyan color in his eyes dwindled as well as his vision, but he continued to stare at the stone statue's eyes without turning away and Bobby thought in his mind. "Am I really going to get blind and fail this trial?" Owing to extreme fatigue all over his body, especially his eyes, his eyelids were almost about to blink but he bit his tongue to remove his drowsiness and he lunged out at the top of his voice. "Heck, no! Who am I?... I'm Satan of this generation, the devil who will ignore everything against the norm. I'll never let this simple pitfall defeat my will to mess up this messed-up universe. Bring it on!"
At that time, something seemed to trigger inside of his system awakening his heart as the infinitely small drop of golden blood of Satan laying somewhere inside his heart suddenly emitted a golden light all around it and the golden light diffused quickly toward the bloodstream turning all the blood inside his heart to turn golden.
When all of Bobby's blood inside his heart had emitted golden light, his heart stopped for a moment, therefore stopping the entire process of receiving the deoxygenated blood inside it and pumping it out into his entire body.
And the next minute, it started beating again, but still blocking the arteries from receiving the deoxygenated blood inside it while the pumping of this purest and enriched golden blood out from his heart, but it didn't send out to all around his body like usual as the golden blood was only send upward blood vessels of his body and until they all conversed toward the blood vessels connected to his eyes.
The almost dimmed eyes of his turned golden gradually as the throbbing sound of his heartbeats pounded louder and louder and at first, the highly enriched energy within the golden blood rejuvenated his eyes by repairing all the ruptured multiple minutes' blood vessels, and then when they were finally all healed, his golden eyes emitted a strong attractive force outward and the multiple of infinitesimally small purple Origin Chi emitted from the eyes of the stone statue gathered and concentrated multiple purple small mass of balls and were attracted toward Bobby's golden eyes which were then entered his eye one by one.
As his eyes devoured those purple masses of balls, he felt this cold and pleasant feeling of euphoria from his eyes. Several minutes passed and the rate of those purple mass balls attracting toward his eyes also reduced.
"Wow! This feeling is really exhilarating. My eyes are still throbbing in anticipation of devouring more of those purple balls." Bobby said to himself while checking his eyes with his consciousness. Then he laughed and further added, speaking. "Hee-hee-hee! Now that all the pressure was gone from my body, perhaps I should walk closer toward it and let my eyes consume those purple masses until they are full."
Then he stood up and walked toward the stone statue leisurely this time as multiple balls of purple masses were formed and attracted toward his eye and entered his eyes. The only difference was that the concentration of the purple masses become more and more, as he moved closer to the face of the stone statue. Also, he saw that the purple glow got dimmer and dimmer as he walked toward it closer and closer.
Like that Bobby finally reached just an inch away from the large face of the gigantic stone statue, and the last purple color in its eyes was retracted out from the eyes into two highly concentrated balls and entered each one of his eyes and that time, the eyes of the stone statue turned into the color of the stone and the golden colors in his eye also dimmed down as all the golden light was concentrated into two golden drops and quickly moved down his lower body, finally entered his heart and settled there and disappeared within the red blood of his heart and vanished as if the two golden drops of blood went into a gentle slumber.
The next thing his eyes now emitted purple light just like that of the stone statue and then without wasting time, he used the X-ray vision and glanced at the face of the stone statue and it finally could penetrate it and he saw all the secret and mystery of the head.
"Hah!" Bobby laughed as he saw a large mirror at the center of the stone head, and in it, he saw his face and back of his head reflecting in the mirror "It turns out all those faces I saw were all just mirages created by the array formation. Hahaha….."
