Chapter 18 - Enlightenment

"this is speaking" 'this is thinking'

That is all, thank you for reading>

In a small park somewhere in Japan

Kei was sitting down and drinking tea on a white table that viewed a sparkling lake in the background

"Ahh, finally some peace"

Kei was dressed in black with silver lining

A simple jacket and black Jeans

He was also looking more handsome than before

As Kei was enjoying his peace

A woman in white cultivator robes with yellow lining shouted at Keisuke

"Prepare to die! We White Dragon sect cultivators have received a divine message telling us the cause behind the monster Gates appearing on earth, your presence must be erased! No hard feelings k?"

Kei who was enjoying a nice cup of Yorkshire tea was caught off guard

"What? You talked to God?"

Kei stands up and pulls out his sword

"I'm not a bad guy, but I will defend myself from an attacker"

The woman swinging her sword towards Kei proclaims

"HA! No chance! I am the direct disciple of the patriarch of my sect! You stand no chance"

Her Qi attribute was Yang, a light attribute, with the colour of the sun

Kei quickly used Yin Qi to counter her

"With my techniques I can counter any element"

But then

~clang~

Kei was pushed back

'what? She is stronger than me? But we seem to be in the same realm!'

"shit"

The woman doesn't relent and hastily goes to attack relentlessly without giving Kei a break

~sword wind sound from moving fast~

Kei could only try and block her sword, but he did not succeed completely, a lot of cuts started appearing on his body and his clothes were tearing

"But how! We have the same cultivation base! How are you so strong!?"

With a Cocky look the mysterious woman proclaims

"Ha! What do you expect to do with that lousy Qi? It's full of flaws!"

Keisuke with a puzzled look

"You are telling me that my cultivation technique is flawed?"

With a smirk the mysterious girl announces

"you must be a real dumbass to think otherwise, you can use every attribute sure, but you can't focus on one and make it stronger like the rest of us! This is going to be the death of you in the end. Basically now, goodbye"

Her sword was swift and heading towards Kei's neck, but...

~swosh~ ~clang~ ~cut~

Kei's eyes finally lit up with a surprised look and he blocked the woman's attack

"You are right, it's flawed, but it's not my technique that's flawed..."

Taken of guard the girl questioned

"What are you on abo-"

A slight smile appeared on Kei's face

"I finally see it, thank you for opening my eyes. I just have to combine every attribute into one, this is the final step in my cultivation technique."

~wooommmmm~

Kei's sword started slowly glowing, in an aura like the starry night sky

"My end you said before? Haha, maybe in a hundred years."

Kei swings his sword with all his might in a side slash

~ssssss~ ~cling crack~

With a mortified look the woman looks at her sword

"No, way..."

~thud~

The top half of her sword now broken and fallen to the ground

*cough*

Blood started oozing from her mouth after receiving internal injuries

~Thud~

Kei had won

Kei had a complex look

"You don't need to die here, I'm not the enemy of humanity, God is. I don't know what he told you but God is the one making monsters appear in this world, just because he needs my soul.. "

He took a deep breath and proposed something

"You are strong, it would be bad losing someone like you, we need more people to destroy dungeons, I'm sure you already know, and even if I die this he won't stop, God will look for his next victim, and at this day and age? Nobody will willingly give up his life, now that most humans have the power to defend themselves"

The girl had an angry expression

"AND WHAT? YOU EXPECT ME TO LIVE IN A WORLD OF MONSTERS JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE?"

"Again, you are not directing your anger at the right person, I'm not the one you should be fighting"

A grin appeared on the girls face

"Ha...  you expect me to fight God?"

"No"

With a confused look she blurts

"Th-then?!"

With a blank look Kei looks up at the sky

"I will. I just need to get stronger.. And thanks to you my bottleneck finally loosened, I finally understood the Universe cultivation technique and my swordsmanship has evolved"

[Congratulations, you have finally understood the true ability of Universe cultivation your Qi has finally evolved into Universe Qi]

Kei had a sudden realisation

"Oh no... Didn't you say that more cultivators are coming to take my life?! Shit!"

Universe Aura Rose from his feet and he prepared to leave

"Think through what I've told you! Infighting won't lead to salvation, I wish to end all the suffering, I wish for humanity's survival"

~wooosss~

Kei left the scene

The mysterious woman lay there dumbfounded,

A boy not even in golden core stage just told her that he would defeat God

"HAHAHAHA! HE MUST HAVE MORE SCREWS LOOSE THAN I THOUGHT! HA HA HA HA! Fine, let's see how you do, you did make a point, I guess I shouldn't fight on God's side. I was too naive to believe that this hell would end with Fujima's life.."

The voices of cultivators could be heard in the distance

"She's here!"

"But where is the brat?!"

"He must have escaped"

A man in the same uniform as the woman quickly approached her

"Senior sister! Are you ok!? Quickly eat a senzu- I mean a health pill!"

The man gave her the pill

With a Cocky smirk the woman says

"You sure took your time Li Zhuan... "

With a sorry look Li Zhuan says apologetically

"I apologise Zhun Lee"

"Also, you've been watching dr@g*n w@ll too much..."

*

*Kei Running away

With a thoughtful look Kei proclaims to himself

"Hmm, with this Qi, I'll have to learn a different swordsmanship... I should try making my own."

*

*what was lost (during the time skip)

After the gates opened

Many lives were lost

It wasn't like the manga

There were no awakened

Only magicians and cultivators

Power was hard to come by,

Sure guns can defeat weak monsters like goblins, and with a little more difficulty Kobolts even. But anything stronger than that needed magic or Qi. Of course or an atomic bomb too but that's too drastic, it was reserved as a last cause.

Thankfully cultivators and magicians were able to defend against some of the monsters, saving some cities from the crisis but mostly losing others.

Unfortunately this was not the case for all, many countries that didn't have enough power fell, but 4 Have fallen because of something never seen before, something truly devastating. In 4 countries Brazil, Greenland, Greece and finally Australia appeared a Large gate that no one could clear. After some time Australia gave out a request to a Nascent soul Master to clear their gate but after going in, he never came out. It was something outside of the power of even the strongest cultivators.

Eventually the Gates couldn't be cleared so, inevitably dungeon breaks happened to them all.

From each Gate only a single Great monster came out. The Dragons

The four dragons destroyed the country their gate was on and made the ashes left behind their Nest

A Dragon of fire in Brazil

A Dragon of Ice in Greenland

A dragon of Rock in Greece

A Dragon of Wind in Australia

This is really a Ruined world
