After having my 'small wish' granted by the system, which I cleverly manipulated into fulfilling without using any system rewards, I tirelessly practiced in the Void, taking no breaks.
Upon emerging from the void, I also attained the Blessing of the Whore Constellation Ishtar. As a result, within me, I constructed a Qi Ase-Palace with a resplendent rose-gold hue, refining my Qi and fortifying my sea of consciousness.
During my rigorous training, I practiced a new technique known as the Talent Breaking Punch. The system described it as:
In addition to my training regimen, I took leisurely strolls around this lower realm's Star boundary and secretly also met Osarik Shark. There are also too many wonderful things to see, and it's inexpensive. I thought it was amusing, so I lived as a beggar and slept in a space shuttle. It's been a few days since then. I also ended up fighting with some fools, so I threw them into a Schwarzschild Black Hole.
'How many days have passed, system?'
*Ting Tong*
I pressed the bell.
I was answered by Mr. Tayfur Taqi again.
His demeanor was lifeless, which was unexpected. He had lost the will to live. I had hoped to see him full of energy, but his condition was deteriorating. Of course, this was not evident by looking at him. He possibly remained strong to be the support for his wife.
I still remember the sound of Mrs. Mio Taqi crying. She had gone through all stages of grief except acceptance. These people tried to imagine their daughter becoming alive again but failed miserably.
Did they possibly believe that mere reality-altering could be enough to relive someone whom I personally killed, devoured the essence of, and erased spiritually and conceptually?
'hahahahaha'
I laughed like a maniac inside but was soon hit by realization. I killed a girl just for my selfish greed for power.
I faced the daunting reality of the irreversible consequences of my actions.
How could I?
I had no right to take a dear life before its time.
Just Kidding!
No being can ever die without Allah-Kabber's will at a destinated time, Nothing happens without his will. With every breath I took, my lungs took his permission, every time my heart pumped, it took his permission so did every Killing I did was with his will.
'My Killing is motivated solely by compassion. I want to help them regain their place in the clan. Right system?'
'Of course, you should recognize your fault. It was your fault for not being specific. The mission could be interpreted in several ways.'
'Whatever!'
I come from the upper realm and have the authority to do as I please with these weak beings from the lower realm who require a space shuttle just to travel through the star field.
I continued walking after him as he guided me to the large hall. There were many guests, all belonging to the shark clan.
Yes, I helped Mr. and Mrs. regain their position back in the clan by using my identity.
They all looked at me and stood up but I signaled them to keep their composure and keep silent, no need for formality.
They understood my intention and tried not to make this day of me but her. 'Sensible people!' I thought internally.
Carefully, I drew the chair, ensuring it made no sound, preserving the profound silence that enveloped the space. With a gentle touch, I settled onto the seat.
Mr. Tayfur Taqi remained silent, withholding any words, his quietude lingering in the air.
I saw Mrs. Mio standing near the dead body of Mia in the coffin, Mrs. Mio looked dead just like her daughter.
After some boring speech from Mr. Tayfur Taqi was over, I approached her and told her about how she did a really good job.
"She appears serene, and you've done an exceptional job," I conveyed, extending empathy for the tasteful dressing she bestowed upon Mia.
My remark was honest. Mia looked like she was sleeping from close, which generally wasn't the case.
She didn't look at me, Her eyes fixed on the Mia, lying in the coffin.
She just shook her head, not saying a word.
I understood her suffering, I knew how a parent feels when they need to see their child dying earlier than them. I had no lack of patience and time.
I stood there until the end.
After the end of the ceremonies, everyone prepared to leave.
They gave me their pleasantries, syncopated greetings. They also apologized to me for their failure to find the Osarik shark.
"I wonder how he escaped from the prison and is escaping our intel." This was the remark of Yibulaxin Shark and other elders.
In response, I let out a sigh. "He also took the life of the Minister of Punishment," I added with a pause. "I certainly wouldn't hold you responsible."
Yibulaxin Shark gracefully raised his hand and spoke with respect, "You have aided us, extending mercy from yourself. Truly, you embody wisdom and mercy."
All 27 guards and Elders seeing this, arched their hand too.
I kept my half-smile, as usual, and unknown to them, continued absorbing Qi from the world through my pores to nourish my body to become even stronger.
After reaching the upper realm, I need to gulp the cyclone of Qi in my dantian and form a crystal core.
They left.
I was never in a hurry; I simply kept my silence. It was night so it's given I should have kept silent.
Even if I would have said it, it wouldn't change anything. It wouldn't lessen their pain.
"Mio, I believe it's wise to heed the counsel of our new sect leader and vacate this residence," Mr. Tayfur Taqi advised, putting his hand on hers.
"What do you know? We have raised her here forever. I'm not leaving until you kill that Osarik bastard for killing my child" Mrs. Mio replies in anger, immediately shrugging off his hand."
I approach her, putting Blanket artifact on her, keeping her mind calm. "Hey hey, this is the end of the discussion, you can vent your anger somewhere else but not here."
"ffffiiiiiiiinnnnne"
she exclaimed, her frustration evident, and stormed out.
"I apologize for her conduct, young celestial," he expressed.
"No need to keep a respectful tone. I still haven't forgotten your grace and the help you bestow upon me in this realm. Let's keep it normal," I tell him, emphasizing my thankfulness toward him for the care he bestowed upon me in this realm.
"I never anticipated that we'd unwittingly save a celestial. I understand it might be inappropriate to guilt-trip you and shamefully seek assistance in return for providing you hospitality, but still, it's my earnest request that you could aid us in tracking down that scoundrel—"
I interrupt him.
"How do you feel without her? Will you be able to get over it by killing him?"
He paused for a while, maintaining a closed fist against his mouth, before responding, "I don't have the answer. I just know I need to kill him, keep smiling, and stay strong for my wife."
"You haven't answered the question. The path you wish to walk is of vengeance."
"I can only show you the path, it will be your battle to fight."
"I'm aware of the heavenly tribulations upper realm beings will endure if they fight here; I wouldn't burden you with the request to fight on my behalf. She was my daughter, and I'll surely kill that bastard by myself to avenge her," he says. His eyes were determined despite the fact he showcased only sadness hidden behind his facade of a smile.
My mood was filled with joy but my face showcased empathy.
Soon we stepped out of the mansion, my rosy bright face glowed with a rosy radiance of the moon, indicating my departure.
*Boom*
An unexpected blast happened.
Everything turned red, even the moon.
I looked above me and saw a figure flying on the cloud.
His facial expression showed intense hatred toward the Man beside me, Tayfur Taqi.
The gaze the figure flying above had toward Mr. Tayfur Taqi made me feel he wanted to cut and kill Mr. Tayfur a hundred times.
The figure was undeniably Osarik Shark.
"Fools," I thought to myself, trying to hide smirk behind me.
