"hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!"
Krishna put a hand on his face while laughing like a maniac and looks at the progenitor.
"WHAT IS THIS USELESS PRIDE IN YOU C**T!!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO JUDGE ANY HUMAN'S ABILITY WHEN YOU PROGENITORS ARE THE CAUSE OF US HUMANS BEING SO WEAK!!!!!!!! WHEN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PASS ON KNOWLEDGE TO YOUR KIND YOU FOCUSED MORE ON RULING AND CONTROLLING THAT KNOWLEDGE!! BECAUSE OF THIS WE NEVER EVEN GOT TO KNOW THE TECHNIQUE THAT THE FIRST TO FIFTY'TH PROGENITOR CREATED FOR US!! AND YOU !!!! YOU ARE A STAIN ON THE NAME OF PROGENITOR BIT*H YOU ARROGANT CULTIVATOR!"
"TO HELL WITH THE PROGENITOR POWERS!! I need no such thing to reach my goal.... and the power that comes with this status is simply tainted with the blood of generations of humans that were killed just because you all decided to selfishly create empires and such instead of uniting my race. This power that you had attained came with a purpose and you all forsake that purpose."
The progenitor simply listened to Krishna scream at his face yet in his heart he too knew that he had been an idiot at that time and every progenitor after the 50th progenitor had simply done what they wanted and not what a progenitor should do..... Lead the race.
"I did earn quite a bit of experience from this encounter..... So tell you what if I ever met the human progenitor out in the world, I will help him once and only once"
with an irritated look on his face, the progenitor was in a bind right now
'I expected him to at least accept the role and not outright refuse..... which idiot would refuse to become a Progenitor!'
Only through fated encounters could one even have the chance to become a progenitor and there really were not that many fated encounters happening around the world. This encounter itself happened 100 years after the last encounter.
'his body was good for possession too but that will take time, if he simply refuses the blood, it will not be possible..... *sigh* I guess this one is gone too'
Suddenly the look in his eye changed from irritated to angry.
"ok then If you want to take this path then dedicate your potential to the next progenitor!"
a blood orb drops from the ceiling and begins to pull Krishna towards it
'ok even I know not to go towards that... I am still not strong enough!..... but well I have been doing just physical training, Let's start mental and spiritual training when I get out of here.'
"hmmm never really prepared to fight the progenitor himself but you are not a progenitor are you, well at least not now."
the thing is for the past 8 years doing quest outstandingly did not get him any extra function or item but each day he would get +10 mana and well that adds up to a whopping 30,000 mana which he now possessed.
Mana reached humans just 1000 years ago with the help of the last progenitor but It did exist since the beginning of the Universe. One could say that mana itself is as old as the Universe and is seen as an origin power by every being whether new or old.
It is also the only power that can fight against divine power as well as hell's corruption, so one may say that it is the universe's way of balancing things out.
the thing is that even if Krishna had mana of an insane amount he still did not have a way or a skill through which he can efficiently use it.
"This might just wreck my body but if I die here what would I do with my body"
He begins to collect mana in his right hand 10....100....1000.
the progenitor looks at Krishna's suicidal move and just starts laughing
"hahaha for you to even make a dent into the ability keeper you need at least 15000 mana and for an 8-year-old even as abnormal as you it is physically impossible to hold that amount of mana, so stop this futile resistance and simply be happy that you will help your race"
Krishna's smile grows and he simply continues 1000.....10000....15000.....20000.
"What!! this is not possible how can you hold this much mana in you!!!!"
Progenitor's mind starts racing to find a plausible experience
there is no mana in the atmosphere here. Is he not human? no that is also not possible or else he would not have reached this room.... but if he actually has this much mana then he could become the strongest human and I might be able to use that!!
"boy you actually have this much potential why not just become a progenitor, you can actually become the strongest progenitor and correct what you think all the other progenitors did wrong."
"HA you think I care about humans..... no I don't bit*h all I care about are my family. as for anybody else If I feel like it I will help otherwise I won't, as simple as that. All this effort that I have and will continue to put into becoming strong is just so I can do what I want, when I want, wherever I want."
25000
'ok, this much should be enough.'
after seeing that Krishna stopped collecting mana the Progenitor felt that this must be his limit.
"that still is not enough to destroy the sphere, there is still time just accept your destiny and live as a proud progenitor."
"hehehehHAHAHA I really wanted to say this, Thank you for providing me the opportunity to say this"
at this point, Krishna was dangerously close to the sphere and while the punch which Krishna prepared would not destroy the sphere who said it was for the sphere.
"Fu*k destiny and fu*k fate. I decide what I ... *sigh* too cringy need to find some better lines dammit, and as for you who said this is for your sphere you old fogey.
"I hope I meet you in the outside world too someday so that I can beat the shit out of you myself"
Saying this Krishna begins to punch the orb but changes the position just before changing the direction toward the floor.
BOOOOOM!
the floor shatters the walls shatter and even the ceiling shattered and a black void could be seen all around them. The last thing Krishna heard before blacking out was just a sentence.
"I will find you!!!"
'yeah I hope you do'
***************
{hospital lobby outside Krishna's resting room}
Hanako was talking with Vikram outside of the room so as to not disturb Krishna.
"Is he gonna be ok?"
"the doctor could not find anything wrong with him and all tests are fine as well. Only Krishna can tell us what happened, let's just wait for him to wake up"
after Hanako saw that nothing she did could help Krishna she decided to get him to the hospital but Krishna's condition had improved before reaching the hospital and by the time they reached, Krishna was already in top shape. On the recommendation of the doctor they decided to have Krishna stay here under observation.
inside the room Krishna was stifling a groan since he knew no matter where he was his mother will be close by and should already be very tense he did not wish to worry her more.
That punch had messed up the entire structure of mana veins in Krishna's body which hurts like hell.
'well the silver lining is that now I can help you create superior mana veins'
Rory tries to placate Krishna's growing pain and it does work.
'my previous veins are not even buried yet shameless grandma hahaha'
*cough*cough*
'you are getting cocky as time passes, seems like one more round of sparring is needed to bring you back.'
Krishna decided to ignore that last comment and focused on enduring the pain.
After 15 minutes of feeling his veins burning finally the pain subsided and he opened his eyes to find himself in a hospital ward.
'seems like I screamed too loud.'
then he closes his eye and returns to his inner world
'hey here comes the bold man'
Cathleen comments while snickering a little
'yeah yeah gave up a huge opportunity and sh*t but I did what I felt was right. Either way having the progenitor title simply would have meant more trouble and as for the skills, I can gain them through system dearest.... no need to stick out my neck like that.'
