Chereads / My Cheater System / Chapter 25 - Countdown

Chapter 25 - Countdown

"This is it Drache." Boss Cheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it with a skill.

"What's happening?" Drache walks closer to the end of the apartment building. From there he sees the district as a mess. Cars piling on top of one another, buildings collapsing like dominos. Mountains of corpses. Drache placed his hand on his mouth, nearly puking.

"He read us like a book. He implanted the map and blueprints." Boss Cheng inhaled. "Everything he planned, everything he knew. Everything he wanted. It all came thru."

"Isn't White Death a good guy? He's meant to be a protector, he's meant to be a Venator, isn't that what they do?" Drache swallowed his own puke.

"That's what they want you to think. They're nothing but dirty fucking scumbags." He exhales. "He wants me, not you. You were only spared, simply because you walked next to me."

"What?" Drache could feel a falling sensation in his stomach. As if something was coming. The birds in the sky flew away from the district, only to be stopped by an invisible force field.

Boss Cheng chuckled, he places the end of the cigarette onto the railing. "Give me 7 seconds."

From the distance, a figure dressed in white could be seen standing on the top of a building, also smoking a cigarette.

6 Seconds remaining.

He outstretches his hand.

5 Seconds remaining.

He whispers something.

4 Seconds remaining.

"Divide."

3 Seconds remaining.

Randomly throughout the entire city, large purple bubbles formed. One appears right next to Drache.

2 Seconds remaining.

"I'm sorry son." White Death exhales smoke out of his mouth, taking the shape of a skull.

1 Second remaining.

"I need your help." Boss Cheng spoke into his wrist.

"What do you need?" Unface sat across Boss Cheng as they sat in the silver subspace. Unface didn't have his mask like he normally did, instead having bandages that wrapped around his head. Certain portions looked as if they had dried blood on them.

"Malevolence is coming after me." Boss Cheng stands up. He was wearing camo pants and a t-shirt with a scarf that wrapped around his neck and went down to his chest. He wore a conductor's hat.

"Caishen. How is that my problem? I've already dealt with him in the past. You can do whatever you want. I'll just revive you." Unface laughs it off.

Caishen clears his throat and sits down "It's my dad."

Unface's bandages start to loosen. He looks over to Caishen. "Why do you think I gave you my scarf?" He points at Caishen and his scarf.

"Because you wanted to?" Caishen crosses his legs.

"No no no no... That scarf is a part of me. This bandage is merely just a limiter to my power. That scarf is my power." Unface twirls with his thumbs. "I entrusted you. I believed in you. Maybe I was wrong." His veins were popping out in his hands. The bandages started to loosen even more, and more blood came out.

"I just need your help." Caishen folded his hands.

"And you dare, come to MY domain? Ask for MY help?" His bandages were starting to float. He laughs a little and pulls a small little glass orb from under the table.

Caishen didn't say a word.

"I've seen every single human be born and die, just so I could fulfil this prophecy. I was told, that in the 21st century, I would be given a wielder that was capable of aiding me in my troubles. Maybe you're not the one." Unface's bandages all fell down, revealing a handsome young man with several bruises and cuts across his face, pouring blood.

"This is the last time I'll be asking. After this, you can stop worrying about me." Caishen could be seen visibly irritated.

Unface laughed a little. "Maybe I wasn't so wrong." He outstretched his hand, and a large flash flickered from his hand, knocking out Caishen.

2 Seconds remaining.

"I'm sorry, son." White Death exhales smoke out of his mouth, taking the shape of a skull.

1 Second remaining.

"1 second? That's all I need." Caishen smiles a little as he pulls a card out of his inventory.

"Deathly Aura: Activate." The card burnt up in purple flames in his hand.

0.487 Seconds remaining.

Caishen appears behind White Death, he lands a blow on his back. It sends him barreling downwards.

0.427 Seconds remaining.

White Death turns around, launching several spheres back at Caishen. He grabs one of them and crushes it, causing a gust of wind to stay stationary in the air.

0.371 Seconds remaining.

White Death takes his sniper rifle out as he continues falling down, Caishen lunges downwards in the air, grabbing the barrel of the sniper rifle.

0.266 Seconds remaining.

White Death disappears in an instant.

"This is a live broadcast! We are currently at District B of Alter Hafen!" A reporter spoke into a mic as she sat on the outer edge of a helicopter, directly below the scene. "The entirety of District B has been turned to rubble and the walls are all painted red!"

The cameraman shakily pans down, showing the entire district in a mess. Everything within a 500-meter radius of them was destroyed and corpses could be seen on every surface.

"Do not interfere." White Death grabbed the camera, panning it back into the inside of the helicopter. Everyone, including the pilots and the reporter all, had a massive gaping hole in their foreheads.

"AHH-" The cameraman's screams were the only thing that could be heard as he broke the camera.

"Mommy? What is he doing?" A toddler Vier sat on a couch watching a TV that was clearly broken. The antennas were snapped and bent in several directions.

"What are you watching?" Vier's mom came in, turning the TV off. "C'mon, go take a shower." Vier's mom shooed him away from the couch.

White Death returns, the sniper rifle still in the same position he had left it. He pulls the trigger, it sends a bullet flying out of the chamber even though it was crooked.

0.24801 Seconds remaining.

Caishen uses [Cut] and disassembles the bullet and barrel of the gun in an instant. White Death claps his hand and causes the bubbles around the entire district to implode.

0.23381 Seconds remaining.

Caishen checks his screen, he only has 0.23381 seconds of Deathly Aura remaining. He looks back at White Death who was smiling. The entirety of the city was seconds away from being reduced to atoms.

0.21202 Seconds remaining.

White Death grabs Caishen by the collar, punching him in the face. Caishen's jaw gets dislocated by the punch. Caishen grabs both ends of his face, using the skill cut.

0.2011 Seconds remaining.

White Death's face had been completely torn apart. "Bye son." He punches Caishen in the gut.

0.1733 Seconds remaining.

Caishen was left with no other choice. The bubbles had already burst and at any second all three of them were to be killed.

0.1213 Seconds remaining.

"Duplicate: Other Worldly Devastation."

0.000001 Seconds remaining.

Caishen's hands were wrapped around by the scarf which Unface had given him.

'Paragon.'

A giant cube appeared in the middle of the sky, encasing both of them.

"Ciao." Caishen waved goodbye as the scarf around his hand disintegrated. The cube imploded on itself and began to decrease in size exponentially. Soon, turning into a singularity that just ceased to exist. Both Caishen and White Death were nowhere to be found.

Unface sat at his throne with his hand on his hand, surrounded by blood on every surface of the room. The table and throne he sat upon were covered in his blood which came pooling out of his face.

On the table was the skin of his face. On his head was just a mound of meat with blood pouring out.

"Caishen." He had a gaping wide hole which made out the shape of a smile. His eyes gaped wide as he no longer had eyelids.
