Chapter 11 - Hurdles

As his silhouette was clear into the serene skies, everyone's heart leaned naturally closer to it. They could not put their eyes away from him.

"Is this the work of a god?" A man gently said.

'Invincible' Someone thought. "Only gods can do this!"

"Too beautiful" A woman heart-strikingly said.

By natural circumstances, they would either hold a grudge or try to hid one's frustration due to the large-scale destruction inflicted to their area. And because the man was a supernatural being, they would only keep it for themselves and never be divulged.

However, because the deity's feature was perfect and godly. They could not find a fault to the person. They were blinded by admiration and love. The term "perfect" and "godly" was described here after all. Unless one experienced it for themselves, they won't understand.

One such example was a world toppling beauty was asking all your money and let you work and do all kinds of things until you became impoverished. However, even she killed you, you're okay with it as long as it was her. But the term godly and perfect meant countless levels higher than being a world toppling beauty. In other words, he himself was a disaster in and out.

If the skies were calm and quiet, however the land was as if not a land anymore. A huge chunk size of soil was gone. Many eyes were staring at him, and after waiting for small seconds; his forehead lit and the soil which was supposed to be gone was miraculously back. It was placed according to his memory so there was almost no change that happened like in the past. However the great changes were there. In that wide land, it was too sparse. It was empty. No skyscrapers, trees, plants, and other more. A wide land of plain top soil was only clear to see.

Outside of that land was full of compact buildings and houses. It was another world in there in contrast to this. Moreover, this area was in the middle of the city. It was too much eye catching.

There were no problems aside from this. However, his plan was to transport buildings into here using his mysterious power and put some plants and trees. To put back the past.

At this moment, the gravity seemed to had a slight disturbance. The magnetism had a discomfort to its natural balance.

He looked at the skies and his eye perceive something in the space. A giant asteroid were coursing it's directional line to this world. However, his mysterious power was still in cool down.

'To think this power is some skill in a game! ' He angrily thought. Without a moment of hesitation, he blinked into a desert where no living beings were in there.

'Damn this' He strongly jumped from there into the space.

'Bang' A shock wave was produced but he suppressed the area with his telekinesis so it did not break.

He would not waste a moment because the asteroid may affect the pressure of the air of the world. One reason was that he realized too late that just a seemingly ordinary shooting star earlier ago had aready changed the properties of the planet's air. How much would a change happen if it was something big like this giant asteroid.

The sounds of whistle were too late to accompany his accelerated soar. In no time, he was in front the asteroid. Seemingly this human, who was like a dust in contrast to the size of the rock, punched out.

When his fist hit it, it directly broke into half. Then those two pieces suddenly crumbled. Now they were small, he used his telekinesis to push them away from the orbit of his planet. But he left one of it.

As his eyes averted to his surroundings, there seemed no suspicious things that may assault the planet. However, he sensed some movements. He teleported to the rock that he left. Still his size was still negligible even it was small.

He used it as a leverage to push himself outwards. There seemed no sound to define the strength of the force. However, it was too strong that he became seemingly invisible due to his speed.

Flames and giant shards of metals of some origin blasted out. There was an explosion but still, no sound. A giant ship or basically, an unidentified object, came out of the blue. The size the same of that giant asteroid, however it just snapped in half.

It met the same circumstances of the big rock. But due to the explosion, it ended faster and destroyed in moments.

A man was there with dust in his loose shirt and he still wore his pajama. But the boldness deed he had just did was not been lessened due to his godly appearance that compensated for his current fashion.

He knew he had destroyed the mother ship according to the movies he saw. And it seemed there still it's baby ships. He scanned his surroundings and some ships had also been destroyed due to the remnant blasts. The shards of metals, equipments, and other hard and sturdy solid things that were blown off had resulted for those to unintentionally crash at it's fellow ships.

'The same as movies and stories.' He thought. 'So some legends were true?'

He had a conjecture that some stories in earth was based from real circumstances. And this alien thing was therefore correct.

'Be destroyed' His telekinesis engulfed the remaining ships. They all exploded at the same time. His perception was supremely accurate and his mind was extremely intelligent. He already knew where one would be hiding with their invisibility.

After that, he teleported back to Earth. Specifically, he was back flying in the skies. Now, he knew something was gravely wrong here; he didn't use the mysterious power from his forehead in case something would gone awry.

What he had speculated was right. The pressure of the air had greatly increased. The temperature was also rising. He was not spared a time when the whole world quaked. He felt that the volcanoes in the pacific ring of fire shook harshly.

'Earth this time?!' His eye brows furrowed as what he felt right now was extremely abnormal.

"Ahhh!" Many people overall in the world hysterically screamed. The intensity of the earthquake was too strong that buildings already starting to collapse especially to the skyscrapers and extremely high places.

"Leave out the bathroom, you fool" A brother said to his sister in panic.

"Ah ah" His sister screamed out incessantly as she tried to get a towel hanging above.

"Get the child. Get him from the living room!" A mother was panic stricken as she shouted to his daughter.

"Y-Yes yes" Her daughter answered.

All kinds of situations were happening to the world. Seemingly hearing their pleads of calls, a great force suppressed the harsh quake. In the circumference of the world, Yuehan's telekinesis extended to this size.

"Ahh a god answered our prayers." A religious person was exuberant in joy.

"Huh?!" A man was shocked. However he didn't thought too much of it as he tried to run outside to an open land.

Yuehan's forehead shone out as countless people was teleported in every open land. In fact, it was all of them. He considered their well beings so he didn't let them be converged in just one spot but scattered them to many places.

But what truly happened was he let them stayed in the skies, not in the ground.

All of his thoughts was thinking of all the solutions he could provide so everyone could survive this ordeal. But he was also thinking the welfare of his family, friends, and relatives. His grandparents were okay, his mother and his brother were with them. His father was also with them.

All of the people were oblivious to what were happening. Even the authoritative figures of the world were greatly shocked. However all of them, humans, had one thought in common.

'Save us Lord.'

In fact, Yuehan could clearly heard them loud and clear. As a result, he was in deep pressure. But what he could do? Again, he was just prolonging their lives. And once again, he didn't have knowledge means of terra forming the world.

The humans were still in their early-middle stage of civilization. They still didnt have the wisdom and information of such high classic knowledge such as terra forming. How could he, who didn't have a general idea of the properties of the world know how?

'I should've study a little bit more at that time' Right now, he was remorsing himself. His parents had many times told him to spend more time in his studies every night. In the end, they became tired of it as their throats were dry of repeating it hundreds of times but never once did he obey, apart from being forced. Even if he was forced, he was not wholeheartedly doing it.

'Im such a hopeless son.' In the end, the result could be easily predicted.

He looked at the skies at which clouds were becoming thicker and denser due to the pressure. He thought of the things that recently happened since he came back into the past.

The changing of the properties of the air, the virus of smoke, the asteroid, the ship in the space and the demise of a planet. He already knew why. It was again all of his faults.

Because of his selfish desires, he once again the reason for the pain of the world. He had let them suffered in pain.

First, those zombies. He could thought of a scene which surviving humans had to be extremely vigilant in their daily lives in case they will be doomed as one mistake could take their feeble lives. It's a torture in their mentality. In the end, humans lost and before they died, most of them experienced the horrible pain of being bitten, chewed and ripped into pieces. Some even was attacked by their own family or friends.

This time, he had arised to become their hero who was just a villain in disguise all along. All of their hopes was placed on his shoulders but only to turn out in despair. They didnt know that his heroic actions right now was just to be granted. It was because, after all, him being the cause of all the terrifying dangers that were currently happening. The vicious mistakes he carelessly did.

It was like a child who was too reckless that he poured a lot of hot water to his brother.

In the end, what he just did was to let the people suffer and watch their world crumble. He was even the reason why his classmates and other people of his school lost their lives in great pain.

He didn't deserve to have the privilege to even regret.

To let them be transported to another planet such as in Mars and provide them with oxygen. In the end, he was still prolonging their lives. It was already determined.

It seemed to challenge the balance of the world is a difficult task.

'A painful task!' He thought.

When he changed the time, he had also changed the balance.

One more thing, he speculated that "fate" and "destiny" was as all the more real. It was more impossible to even fight back. The balance of life revolved in these two terms.

He knew that changing the time could only result for the world to change and by using his extraordinary powers, he could somehow fight back. He could confidently say that.

However....

As he looked at the skies, into the space, the ball of extreme heat was having a disturbance. The star of the solar system, the Sun, was exuding tails of heat. It seemed to be increasing in length as it becoming longer and longer. The heat and it's radiation was affecting the earth. The temperature of the Earth due to the pressure of the air and the effects of the sun, was continuously rising.

He changed his view into another location of the space. It seemed another ship was going in course to their planet and the size of it was practically the size of the moon. what accompanied it were some ten's of thousands of medium and large ships.

He looked at the ground. The virus of smoke was again evident for his eyes to see. However, this seemed more potent and deadly judging from its appearance.

And then to the mountain he cried upon earlier, which he had forgotten that biohazard box. The mountain was filled with smoke of green gases.

Then he could sense that the orbit of the world was seemingly slowly detaching from its track in its orbit to the sun. Again the sun was the cause. In fact, other planets were also experiencing it as judging from their new course, it seemed that they would crash at each other in the end including this planet.

He closed his eyes.

'Pop' Only he could hear the sounds of the countless crushed hearts.

He then stopped the suppression of his telekinesis and it's continuous use on all over the world. Because of this, people were falling from the skies at this moment. His own family was also included.

As there was no longer his intervention, the world erupted out of its destruction. And the virus of smoke as if seemingly alive, soared into the skies.

"I'm done." His voice drifted out.
