The Stone of Scorpio or Scorpio's Stone to be exact. Is a powerful stone with ember colored and a Scorpio engraved on it, it was majestic and gives a certain charm every time someone lay an eye on it.
The stone appears in many legends and stories throughout many worlds and universes as it could teleport.
As an effect, the stone is well known for its bad omen and vice versa, it was often an omen of calamity about to fall to the place where the stone is teleported, yet at the same time, the stone sometimes becomes an omen of good luck.
Therefore, many people search the stone for its power to teleports between universes and worlds, hence they could expand their kingdom and bring prosperity to it, or perhaps to search for something that doesn't belong to their world but greatly beneficial if gained.
Such as medicines, weapons, magical arts, culture, and technology.
Nevertheless, the stone has many benefits but calamity followed, whether it was a meteor coming down, evil forces coming to conquer the land, or perhaps a large scale of rebellion, it was up to them who gained the benefit to taste the risk.
If it was able to survive the calamity, their gain will be skyrocketed, if able to survive from the meteor, perhaps there is a valuable item inside it, if able to ward off the evil forces maybe they could learn something from it, and last but not least, if they can put the flames of rebellion down, their country nor kingdom perhaps become much stronger than before.
One must take risks to get what they wanted, or perhaps the quote.
'In a cave, you afraid to enter lies the treasure you seek,' fit the situation.
At the current moment, Joker, or his real name Kazuya Eiyuu and his Dao name is Black Jade of the Rising Sun, met a fearful demon, and judging from the demon's expression, it wanted the stone.
As soon as it exited from the demonic dimension, it looked at the strongest human, which is Celestial Yan, and for Joker. He's only small fry, the demon didn't interested in him and let him die seconds later due to its piercing aura.
Joker's mouth twitching, it's been so long since someone calls him a small fry and he wanted to kill this fella immediately. The demon is quite lucky that it could still see tomorrow as Joker's mask melt those angry emotions like sugar in a hot water.
After judging the situation, the demon felt something powerful than the human with the white Daoist robe, which is Celestial Yan. If Celestial Yan's aura is like the blazing Sun then that something is like the Red Giant.
It emits a strong aura and pure energy, but at the same time, it emits impure energy. Humans have different energy flowing in their body, for example, cultivators have energy called qi and blood, each realm they advance, this energy also got an upgrade, magic users such as Elaina use mana and have many subcategories, and espers such as Joker, use spiritual essences.
What is meant is that every human has different energy flowing in their blood, and if this energy is transferred to another body with a different one, that body will be damaged.
For example, in the middle of a battle, person A who is using mana has no mana left meanwhile, person B who uses qi and blood has still a lot of it, decides to transfer his qi and blood to person A. Person A's body will reject person B's qi and blood, as a result. Person A's body will be weakened due to mistaken the energy of qi and blood as an enemy and uses the remaining mana to defeat qi and blood that were flowing in its veins.
Such being the case, there is one energy that every human could absorb, it was pure energy.
Powers surging to the trio's body and the demon felt it too even though the quantity of impure energy isn't that much, it looks like something, which is the stone on Enaila reacts to the demon.
The stone, which is The Scorpio's Stone, glowing and its light keep getting bigger and bigger, its light makes all of them who are on the scene closed their eyes and covered it with their arms. It's not like they accept their fate and didn't use their power to block the light.
Joker's body is completely numb, he can't felt his legs and arms. It was like turned into a statue, but his body is fine and unscratched, the binding light immobilized anyone who saw it.
Using his power which is telepathy to spoke with Celestial Yan. "Senior? Can you move your body?"
"I cannot, my body isn't in my command anymore and it felt like someone just froze my nerve system, or maybe cut it like cutting a cable."
Their situation is not good and not bad, their body only receives an immobile effect, that is what they thought.
Soon after, their eyelids became heavy and their consciousness slowly pulled away, the demon who just exited the demonic dimension doesn't happy with the current moment.
He spent for thousands of years for the sake of gaining freedom, for that reason, he refused a proposal of marriage from a royal family, and he refused to join the demonic academy, he was recommended by a powerful senior to join the special elite, and he accepted it.
Wasting a thousand years of lifespan to break through the demonic dimension and prove that he is worthy to meet the ancient ruler of demonic dimension and inherit its power to him, no one for the last thousands of years except him, able to does it.
But now, the heavens said, 'haha, work hard go brrr brr.'
He refused to accept it, he refuses to f cki*g accept it! So many sacrifices he makes and when he able to break through from the demonic realm, his work hard is for naught? What kind of nightmare is this? He wanted to wake up if this is one!
Poor for him, this is the cruel reality where the world is already rotten to the core.
The demon's eyes getting heavier and heavier, but his will to open his eyes is stronger than a diamond, his instinct told him to not closed its eyes, it is shouting that if he closed its eyes, something dangerous about to happen.
A few seconds later, everyone on the screen closed its eyes, but before that happen, Joker who is the one that is the strongest among all, able to move his hand cm per second.
He knew that something dangerous is about to happen if all of them closed their eyes, to minimize the danger, he tried his best to clap his hand together like praying to the buddha, after that.
He gritted his teeth and shouted on his heart, "GENSHIN!"
It was a trump card that Joker has, it allows the user to absorbs the lights from the sky, whether it was the sunlight or the moonlight, his body will absorb it and convert it into pure energy of high quality, yet at the same time increased his strength by twenty-five times.
Blue and gentle light of the moon pierces the heavens and only showed its light to Joker, it was like a spotlight that was used in the classic theater when it focuses on the character, the light is much brighter than the one on the stone, shortly after, pure energy of high quality starts to flow in his body, he is now on Tenth Stage Wielder in the world of cultivators and seventh stars character in a world of a game system.
In the world of cultivators, reaching the Tenth Stage Wielder is the same as becoming a God, their words will become real with mere thoughts, their words is enough to destroy a continent, even the world...
But at this time. Even Tenth Stage Wielder can't activate that power, some kind of ancient formation from another world rejects Joker's power to make things went to his accord, Joker furrowed his brows and said,
'if I can't minimize the danger and stops it, at the very least I will make everyone here survives!'
His relationship towards everyone on the scene is that of a stranger, they just met and only talk with few words, or even only stared at each other. There should be no reason why he helped them right? And yet, his body moves on its own.
Even the demon wanted to kill him, he still helped him. Perhaps his action soon bring calamity to himself or the opposite?
There is no point thinking his reason for saving all of them, is kindness needs a reason? Well, that's not Joker's thought, his thought is more despicable than you guys think.
The light from the stone is disappeared and Joker opened his eyes.
