-Gu Yuena's POV
Strength
Throughout my existence, I have always followed a single belief and that is;
"Strength is the only true law in this world."
Which is why I have always disdain the weak. But after awakening from my slumber and observing the state of this world for hundreds of years, I have come to another realisation and that is;
"Sometimes, Strength can be found in a place of weakness"
This is also why the human race has fascinated. You see, humanity are born weak; they are physically inferior to any, if not all spirit beasts. But through their wisdom and ingenuity, they have overcome their limitations and have slowly thrive in this cruel world. If left to their own devices, they would surely conquer this world and lay waste to my descendants.
To stop our inevitable downfall, I'm forced to decrease my powers greatly and undergo the Spirit Beast Evolution to transform myself into a human. Why have I done this foolish action, you ask? It is due to the foolishness of my completed self.
You see, I am the other half of the once great and mighty dragon god; the one who governed two of the primal powers of the universe - Annihilation and Creation. But due to my past transgression in God's realm, I have doom not just myself, but also my entire race and have permanently sealed our path to Godhood.
And without any support from gods, no one will intervene if our race gets wipeout. This is also the reason why humans are still alive today, as the Gods have forbidden me from actively attacking their race. So without any other options left, I was forced to transform myself into a human, so that I could once more ascend godhood and right my wrongs.
"Hello, can I sit here?"
A child's voice sounded in front of me, rudely interrupting my thoughts. Just as I was about to shoo him off, I felt a trace of spirit energy coming out of him.
'Impossible!'
Shock and amazement thundered across my mind as it truly is impossible for anyone under the age of 6 to undergo spirit awakening. Some geniuses may instinctively use the surrounding spirit energy to strengthen their bodies at a young age, but they can not generate their own spirit energy like this boy; unless of course they have undergone spirit awakening and to awaken their spirits they must fuse body and soul together.
This foolishness is due to the former goddess of goodness, who argued that children should have a tender childhood and through the lack of intelligence from the majority of the Gods; her decision had won the vote and was input in this world's rules that the human soul can only be awaken at the age of 6.
So to conclude there is only one logical reason of how this child had accomplished this impossible feat and that is because he is a reincarnation of a God! Well that or he is just a natural born monster comparable to the level of my pinky; though I highly doubt that a human can even come close to my level.
Well there is one way to find out the truth and that is to attack him mentally, if he were a God then his ascended soul will protect his mind and counter the attack instinctively. Fortunately a reincarnated God would have his memories wipe after reincarnation, so if he were to survive this then I would have no choice but to put him down. But between me and my subject there should be no problems with such actions.
I calmed my thoughts and silently gather the surrounding energy, in preparation to attack. Once more I lock my eyes towards him and smiled, replying to his previous request.
"Yes, you may have that seat. So please, rest in peace."
With those words, I, without hesitation; attack the boy's bumbling mind and gave my subject a glance giving her the signal to prepare for a fight. Although we can't kill him yet as there are many eyes that are gathered around us, I am still confident about getting away while stealthily crippling his spirit veins. Which is truly easier done than said; all one needs to accomplish this is by using spirit energy to either blockade or cutoff the victim's spirit pathways.
Although a prerequisite to do this is very fine spirit control, but for one such as I, who lived before this very planet and the very one who once governs the primal powers of the universe; This is merely child's play.
Milliseconds tick by as I continue to observe, accounting for any and all factors that may present itself. Finally the attack strikes with the precision of a striking snake, fast and filled with lethality. The entire muscle of my body contracted ready to react to what may come.
*Thud*
"…"
I... may have indeed over analysed the situation. After the attack landed, the boy had immediately hit the ground with about as much grace as a floundering hippo; I uhh guess, I should form a tight relationship with him.
Yes, that's it! I shall wrap that little boy around my finger, while his mind is still undeveloped as it is not often that a monster of his level is born, in fact he is probably the first one.
"Tell the Proctor that the boy had slip and bump his head."
"Your will be done, your majesty"
"Fool! I told you to mind your words, do you want us discovered?"
"Ok. Yueyue"
Dundering fool, I should've asked the snake to accompany me instead. Moving on, I kneeled down to cradled the boy's head, observing his features; A round face, he is healthy and has plump looking appearance which gives off a cute feeling. Short reddish-brown hair and… let's see.. emerald eyes. Hmm.. Overall, not bad for my future dog.
