Cyra remembered how profitable it was to pick the most challenging difficulty last time. As such, she picks that again.
After tapping on Nightmare X, she was once more blinded by the yellow light and disappeared from the space.
After the blinding light disappeared, Cyra could see again. She was swimming in a purple mist. As she became a deity even without Force Control, she had powerful senses. It was this very reason why her mouth was wide open as she looked down.
The City was below here. She was swimming in the Night Sky of the City as of it was completely fine.
What's going on?
[It seems that the ship's information is false, also I'm bugged by the city energy output because of the time difference the Essence and Energy can't leave this place, but then what is it used for?]
Those are the right questions. Sadly, if you don't know, I don't know either. Cyra picked a direction and began flying towards it.
A few hours later, she reached the land where countless magical creatures were looking at her. As she wondered what to do, she was crushed into the ground by a bunny that was jumping towards her.
A killing intent was crushing down on her that was so great that she was pretty much incapable of moving around in the presence of the bunny.
Looking at her stats, Cyra realized another horrifying fact.
[Status]
[Name] [Cyra]
[Title] [Colonel] [Fifth Beat Running Deity] -> [Golden Kir]
[Race] [Deity] [Shadow Demon] [Crystal Diamond]
[Variant] [Royal Shadow Demon]
[Driving force: Greed,Discord,Pride]
[Gender: Female]
[Bloodline] [Nidhogg] [Demon] [Collider]
[Int: 154 000] -> [Int: 54 000]
[Str: 154 000] -> [Str: 54 000]
[E: 154 000] -> [Str: 54 000]
[Currently under the effect of a supreme intent.]
She lost 10 Big Realms of cultivation, and she was kicked back into being a Kir. The Wusun harmless bunny that was jumping around her was enough to give her tremendous pressure.
Not to mention her body still needed Deity resources, and those had to be one of the best as her body was at the limits of perfection.
This fact made this even harder to continue to cultivate like this. The only upside was that Cyra could use the killing intent to increase her cultivation.
Within 20 minutes, Cyra ultimately overcame the killing intent blocking her from moving, but the downside was that her cultivation only rose to 40%. As such, it was a far cry from her former strength.
She also discovered that she was incapable of turning into death unless Cyra regained her former strength. As such, she lost even more than what she gained.
Then, she turned her attention towards her eyes as she discovered that she could freely change her eye color between Gold and Black.
Whenever she concentrated on a creature and then swapped her eye color from Golden to Black, the said creature would permanently lose its sense of sight. Even if she turned back her eyes, the color would change.
She discovered this during her playtime with the bunny that kept hitting objects after her interference.
After having her fun, she decided to relearn Force Control as she still had Fly and Book of earth. It would only be natural to learn again.
The idea was great, but the process was problematic, as if she had difficulty grasping the skill again as her body changed so much that it was hard to get a hold of herself.
It was painful enough to raise her strength rapidly, but with the sudden drop grasping her real strength was an issue.
The body acted just like a deity. Nothing changed regarding that matter. The Supreme intent was to limit Cyra's strength, a strong force that had spread through her entire body.
It took her less than ten years to grasp the most basic form of Force Control and use her senses to observe her surroundings.
As she was trying to further master force Control, she was disturbed by the presence of a person who appeared without any warning next to her.
"Oh, I found another one! Looks like the Orbital Teleportation has still defected as she also lost her clothes." The guy walked to Cyra's side, put a robe on her, then picked her up and disappeared from the beach.
Cyra realizing that she has been moved, turned around with still closed eyes, looking at the man who took her. "Is this the Grand Light Tournament?"
The man was surprised by the unusual question and turned towards her and said, "No, why?"
"I'm a participant of the Grand Light Tournament!" Explained Cyra.
The man blanket for a second, then a happy laugh left his mouth, "That's a Good Joke! That thing ended five years ago! Not to mention your way too young for that!"
"I'm at least 1000 years old!" Declared Cyra as she looked at the man.
"Yeh, yeh sure kid, whatever you say!" Said the man as he left while still laughing at Cyra's joke.
Cyra was left alone on a ship, not like the modern ships that she boarded before, but an actual 16-17 century looked old ship. It had sails and everything. It was a peculiar feeling for her.
She was riding on a relic at best, yet the ship was staying on top of the mist, not to mention it was a huge ship.
A few hours later, the man has returned empty handed and looked at Cyra, "Looks like my luck is bad, this year your the only student that had landed in my area. But don't worry, even if that's the case I will take you to Portal City, you won't miss the school! I can promise you that!"
Not long after that, the man once more left her sight, and the ship has set off in another direction. They were moving incredibly fast. It was at least 50 times faster than Cyra's current flying capabilities.
Cyra wasn't too happy that she was forced to join a school after the sect facade; she was starting to fear her luck. Even though she still kept herself going with the flow attitude, there was also praying as she wanted to avoid idiots.
Three days later, the ship has arrived at Portal City, where the man has dropped Cyra. The Name of Portal City came from the fact that it was a portal between the City and the Orbit Of The Light. It was the only way to access the big City below the mist usually.
The Streets of Portal City were crowded as countless students were dropped off here from all around the territories of Portal City.
Portal City was made out of 12 smaller islands connected by smaller bridges and a central Island where the portal itself existed. Every time someone passed through it, it would lit up.
She was dropped off on the third island and from there made her way towards the main island together with countless others.
Her robes hid most of her body parts as she retracted her claws, spikes, horns, tails, wings, and arms. She strongly resembled an ordinary human.
Much to her surprise, there were countless different demons present, together with humans and Demi-humans, it was indeed an interesting bunch.
Yes, humans, even the crowd called them that. It looked like here is a god or deity didn't make any difference at all.
She eventually decided to turn invisible, and Fly, as she walked alongside the crowd, was way too problematic as they progressed slowly. As such, she directly passed through to the central island.
Upon arrival, she joined the flood of the crowd once more and continued together with them as she would be in trouble finding her ways alone.
The Central Island was like a maze. There was a lower and higher level for living quarters and shops than at the three levels stood the school territories and a giant amphitheater right below Portal City's portal.
When she entered the school territory, she was stopped as the crowd was so enormous that she could no longer progress any further. As such, she was forced to wait together with the others.
Sensing her surroundings, she could see that everyone was eager to enter the school; they were incredibly young, most no more than 15 years old at first look.
"What are you guys?" Asked a human from the demi-humans in his group.
"Painful, I worked so hard to be able to enter this school, but looking at all these people fills me with fear, I can't fail." Said one of the newly arrived students.
"Also painful it was tough to cultivate that much before the deadline was up, we were allowed to take part in the testing, but I'm not sure how well we score during the actual tests." Explained another one.
"You guys should leave! Most of us are Last Breaths here, don't overestimate your capabilities and give up your place for those who could enter."
Hearing the hurtful words of some demons, the demi-humans and humans in the newly arrived group quickly fled to Cry. They were children's. After all, it was normal.
