Chereads / HOW I BECAME A GOD / Chapter 8 - Bigger than us

Chapter 8 - Bigger than us

"But before we get to the unpleasantries, what should i call you??" Jack asks with a murderous tone, " Chester is fine" replied the bye-stander," Nice to officially meet you Chester" says Jack with a beaming smile" now what was all that about Being undefeated??" asked Jack. "so you are interested" teases Chester before proceeding "You and many other fighters from many schools around the globe have been tracked and had your progress recorded in the shadows... the way we record your fights are with the conditions for victory and end theme only, the only exception is if the fight was stopped before one side yieldedf",

" And if that happens?"

"then it would be recorded as a draw... like in the case of Theodore over there, he has had 987 fights, 920 wins, 67 draws, and no losses.... thus making him the weakest of those ranked undefeated, at least if he gets there"

" I see.... so why are you watching us??"

" to enroll you in a fighting tournament of undefeated fighters"

" And what will the winner get??"

" whoever wins this tournament will be granted power, fame and riches beyond one's wildest imagination"

"Then go find some other guy... im not interested"

"How come??"

" apart from the fact that there is no guarantee of living to see the end of it all.... power and money don't interest me"

" i assure you that nobody will die in this tournament as we have a powerful source of medicine treatment and aid... even some emergency surgery equipment"

" And how do you tell that a person can no longer continue the fight??"

" we will be keeping tabs on it all.. your health power growth rate and all that and you will lose only if your health reaches zero and you are unconscious, the only other way out is if you tag out for a partner which won't be possible until the second stage... or you forfeit"

" I'll participate on one condition"

" and what could that be??"

" if you can beat me right now.. i'll participate"

"if you say so"

"before we start i have more questions"

" ask away"

" what is your title in all of this "

" I am an elitist, a select group of 100 people who watch over the progression of this tournament"

" will i be able to fight with these elitists"

" that would be made clear during the tournament.... is that all?" asks Chester impatiently after stretching out.

" yes... that is all"replies Jack taking an offensive stance " bye the way... i won't be using my legs to actually fight" he announces.

Chester rushes behind Jack and attempts to Jab his neck, but Jack swiftly ducks under spins and upper cuts him, Jack then grabs Chester's collar digs his foot in the ground , spins and slams chester on the ground " Modori style Jowannage". Jack drives his fist into Chester's gut twist his wrist as he does so " Modori style rugipa"this causes the ground he punched Chester onto to to crack almost to the point of breaking through.

" i forgot to mention something" says Chester laying in the ground " humans have potential to access power beyond our imagination.... some are divine powers we are born with, while others are elemental abilities..... these are subdivided into Divine ones and the ascended ones with the divine one being the naturally gifted ones as those that use elemental abilities are called borrowers as they have to make a contract with some god or the other.... the catch is it's the god that approaches you and offers its power, so you can't work for it". "what's this got to do with me??" asks Jack with genuine confusion. " I am an ascended one" announces Chester as he creates a tornado to launch Jack in the air then formed the wind into a chain using it to force Jack into the earth. Jack launches himself back to his feet off his back.

" i now see that i have greatly underestimated you, for that i am sorry" started Jack " but now i will use my legs if you don't mind" he says drawing his foot back back for a stance completely different than his original one, " let us continue our bout" said Jack rushing past Chester with as light contact between Jack's foot and Chester's arm " Modori style tenkegi", Chester's arm dislocates as he receives powerful blows all over his body almost putting him in a state of shock. " you really are amazing you know that??" announced Chester " but this is the end"
