Chereads / Human Extinction system. / Chapter 21 - Endless Neverending Desire.

Chapter 21 - Endless Neverending Desire.

Won had unknowingly passed not only the Carnal Desire Trial, but also the Question and Answer Trial at the end. So only two trials remained.

The settlement of what he had received worried Won. Everything had a due price, he had learned this in his countless years as a rising power and eventually a superpower.

Even beggars who stole bread to simply would be branded with the title thief when being judged by reincarnation. The Underworld would consider one a sinner and punish him, for the smallest of mater's. For example if you didn't return a coin you would be punished, etc...

Won wasn't naive to think that he would obtain all this chance and fortune, being able to train in his martial arts for free. So he was extremely worried.

At best he would live with some chance to survive and at worst he would just die.

Won sighed, furthermore a deep depression couldn't help but sprout within his heart.

Although it was all likened to a dream, it was still something that took his effort and sacrifice to create. Won had tricked and connived so much that even Heaven's Will fell to his countless plots. The amount of planning truly took alot out of Won.

Won sighed as he awaited the next trial. Putting his palms together, and going into lotus position he began to chant a mantra. To waste some time he slowly began to immerse himself in mediation, another habit Won had picked up on.

When Won's eye's opened a blinding white light filled his vision, momentarily blinding him.

Once his eyes had settled he gasped at what he saw.

Won had seen countless great things, such that now even finding gold wouldn't excite his heart.

Yet as he looked at this harrowing mountain that climbed to sky, piercing past the clouds, with thunder echoing along it's ridges like a consecutive explosion ringing through the world, and lighting slithering and forking as it coiled down the mountain.

It was quite frightening, and also quite breath taking.

Harsh winds and dagger like rain could be seen laying waste to the surroundings.

Won sighed, "It's said the first Dragon was born from the Rain and Wind, embraced by the Earth and taught by the Spirits of nature. No wonder such a terrible being can be born. I always doubted the lesson, even a small, weak and steady stream through time could shatter the largest and greatest of rocks. Today I see the sage's were right."

Let alone the Mountain and it's grand scale, a single step was higher in height than a a large man.

It would take some effort to climb all the way to the top, with perhaps even God's looking on in dread.

Won closed his eyes and sighed deeply, and as if trying to exhale the fear and unwillingness the sigh lasted a great deal of time.

Won smirked wryly, "Yes. My desire can't be held back by something so pedestrian! Hahaha..."

Won climbed step after step, each increasing in danger and the degree of pressure that pressed onto Won's body.

After the tenth step Won felt a pressure build in his stomach, that made him feel nauseous.

After the thirtieth step pain began to form in his legs.

After about a hundred, Won's legs had swelled and become blood red, with even drops of blood peeking past his skin. With the pressure so great he was forced to his knees and forced to use his hands to continue on.

By the five hundredth step, Won was barely breathing with each breath a strenuous and long one. His skin had been torn, and his nails had long shattered. Blood flowed in small rivers out, and made him exceedingly pale.

Blood tears even began to trickle down his cheeks from his bloodshot eyes.

Each step took more than a week at this point.

At around the eight hundredth step his hands and feet stopped working, eventually forcing him to drag himself forward with his chin.

Slowly his chin shattered.

At this point he was hardly a man, but comparative to a mound of meat being beaten into mush.

It had long gone past the point Won could even breathe, barely surviving due to his Qi's natural safeguarding ability, but even that would finish and he would die.

Just then a scattered piece of hope, not given by the Will of the Heavens, not by the blessing of the Tao. No, it was a chance an opportunity only someone like Won, who prepared for everything could develop.

Red sparks gathered around like body like flames and filled his body.

His cells exploded out in reverie and excitement, his marrow cleaned itself in the abundant waves of Qi violently spreading throughout his body.

He would normally need to focus and gather the rivers of Qi as they turned into a sea of Qi, but because he was so injured and completely without any Qi, because his body was actively fighting against the dense pressure the Qi acted more as a life support than an actual problem.

It bathed his muscles, tendons, bones, Meridians and everything else in dense Qi. A violent fire blossomed in Won's eyes as a renewed strength gathered in his body.

Won roared towards the sky in hysterical laughter, there was no insanity or madness in his eyes. Only a burning and ravaging Wrath, "Did you really think that was enough to beat me? Did you think you were all great? I am a Cruel God, who even Heaven's Will shall fear. I am a Demon with Endless Neverending Desire, as if a mere trial could stop me. Know your place! I'm not to be looked down upon! My desire can fill seas, and can devour the stars, a mere mountain can never stop me."

Won stood up, although wobbling in his small and thin frame there seemed to be infinite strength and power.

It brought hope and courage to those who couldn't bare to fight anymore, it was similar to an ant battling a Giant. There was no chance, yet through the sheer perseverance of a person even the Sky could be caught.

Won jumped up from his step to the next, and as he did red lighting fell from the skies and turned into a large and magnificent Dragon, that roared causing perhaps even the Seven Heavens to tremble.

Won put his hands together and was colored in a Golden radiance.

A Golden Body formed from Won, a benevolent smile on it's face as it sat on a twelve leaved lotus. Behind the Golden Body was Two wheels conjoined to each other. One wheel was the wheel Of Samsara containing the Six Paths, and the other was the Wheel of Karma. The Wheel of Karma was gigantic filling the sky. The amount of Virtue one must gather for such a demonstration was unknown.

Won smirked widely, "The Buddha views all life equal, even the smallest insect and even the furthest dream."

As the lighting struck down on the Golden Body, the Buddha sitting on the Lotus simply rippled as the lighting had merely caused a single tremble in an otherwise calm lake.

The sky darkened further as Violet lighting began to race across the sky.

Yet the Buddha raised his hand to the sky and from his majestically large hand...

{1,000,000 Golden Buddha palms}, {Magic circle of strength increase} x 20, {Magic circle of speed increase} x 5, {Boost +}, {Undying Warrior}.

The sky was colored in Gold... It was truly magnificent, as countless hands rose to the sky seemingly trying to carry the sky.

Rain and Wind blew harshly upon the Buddha yet no changes happened.

Lighting twisted and turned into a Deep Cyan nearly an Azure color.

The glow of Earthly energies, the vitality of Wood energies, The Rain, The Wind, perhaps a True Dragon was being born.

A loud roar echoed throughout the world.

A limitless snake like body, with fish scales, a camels head, and horns of a deer, with deep and bright orb like eyes appeared overhead. A deep jade color, it commanded the rain and wind with each movement.

Won looked upon it's granduer, he was shocked. Even in his Billions of years he had never seen a True Dragon, let alone a True dragon being born.

His skin tightened, and his hairs rose. His insides churned and his chest tightened. All signs of despair and fear, yet in Won's eyes anything else was irrelevant. There was only a blossoming pride welled out.

Won laughed and said, "Dear Dragon. You may not know the type of existence you are, but for me, someone like to actually call upon you for battle. I cannot help but feel proud. I a nameless fool, who was nothing with no right to Desire, me a weak trash who couldn't protect his mother or friends. I who could never believe I actually deserved everything, until Wrath maddened me to a point that I questioned this unquestionable truth drilled into my head by the hateful world I live in. I was nothing. I am still nothing. Yet when I face you I see, that although I am nothing I am also limitless. The desire I showed that day to break free of my fetters, of my fate. The Desire to live, to survive a confrontation of a man who looked more like a God than a man, the Desire to never give up it welled within me. I don't know exactly what I desire, I know I wish to have a family and to never be so weak that those I love are so easily taken away. I do not know whether I can accomplish those aspirations. Yet from that day, my simple and trivial desires that any normal person should have changed. I no longer desired to simply live, I don't want to be trash that is tossed around. It's a bit shameful, but my desire is... No I myself am it. I am - Endless Neverending Desire. And to do as I wish let us battle, let me show you and the world what I shall be!"

Won tightened his fists.

His body moved like the wind, his posture becoming more comparable to a wall.

With one hand raised, and the other balled by his chest. With his eyes keenly aware of what was transpiring, his Desire uncontrollably leaking out.

This was a battle of Man and God.

It seemed to similar, with such little difference one could hardly realize it.

Yet no one realized everything had changed.

Within those fists was no longer simply the will to kill, and the will to survive.

In these fists there was pride and arrogance.

Within those fists was the Will of a man who had denied fate. Within those fists was a man who desired greatness. Within those fists were dreams and aspirations.

As the Dragon bellowed and rose to the sky, it climbed to the sky and released one more ear shattering roar.

Then it became embraced in Cyan lighting, with flecks of Azure.

Meanwhile around Won a red and black aura coiled.

A figure appeared behind Won, who looked exactly like him.

Won's fist glowed as if super heated.

Both he and the Dragon leapt towards each other at the same time.

Would things repeat or would destiny be twisted.

"Doom Fist: Destruction fist Boxing style!"
