Chereads / Reverend Calamity / Chapter 4 - Madness

Chapter 4 - Madness

Lower Realm:

 Eternal Domain

Endless Void 

There sat a mysterious existence full of darkness in the endless void, where even the mightiest entity from the Higher Thousand Worlds could not come into contact with it. That existence excluded a very dark and mysterious aura, which made the very fabric of his existence otherworldly. He looked like a man in his 20s with sharp eyebrows like a sword and eyes as deep as an abyss full of darkness in them, even though they were deep, bloody red in color, and a tattoo of red rose on his forehead, which made him the most perfect existence someone has ever laid eyes on, but even that handsomeness didn't make one any more comfortable looking at him as he excluded an aura full of killing intent around him for an unknown reason that has yet to be unraveled. 

His eyes, which were closed but strangely yet opened, were looking in the direction of a world, the Eternal Lumina World, the highest and one of the most powerful World in the entire Lower Realm, where a cultivator can become an Emperor. An emperor is simply not only a title but a realm that represents invincibility in the entire lower realm. Even though his bearing made it seem like the whole world was under his control, there was something deep underneath his eyes that was slowly but gradually consuming him.

 "A higher realm..." His cracked voice slowly sounded in the void, which was mixed with madness, anger, and unwillingness for his desire to reach a higher realm of power, which made it impossible for him to attain due to his limited talent.

"Where did it go wrong? Should I have been dead billions of years ago in that world rather than being reincarnated here? Or should I haven't walked on this path where my talent is limiting me? Haaa, haaa, haaa. Just what the hell should I do to breakthrough?" Again, another shout from him came into the void, full of anger and unwillingness. His voice, paired with his furious eyes, made it impossible for anyone to not understand his situation. It was a situation that occurred a lot in this cultivation or whichever world, and that is talent—the ability to reach a higher realm and evolve their existence and power. This is a situation that happened to a lot of people, and he is not the only one, nor will he be the last one in this endless world, or so he thought before, but.....

Hundreds of thousands of years after Shioney again sat in a lotus position to cultivate, a sound suddenly echoed in his consciousness, paired with some words written in the air.

"What's this thing in my consciousness? Is it a leech similar to the one like that of Ye Fang in that world?" Shioney directly used his spiritual power, even before his thoughts moved. He directly used his full power to eradicate whatever was trying to leech on him, but his power didn't affect it at all. Again, an emotionless voice echoed in his consciousness.

[Detected that Dark Forbidden Calamity has yet to completely regain his title.]

[Detected that Dark Forbidden Calamity has yet to gain his memories]

[Detected that the talent of Dark Forbidden Calamity has yet to awaken, which made it impossible for him to advance his realm.]

[Issuing an urgent mission to forcefully awaken a very small portion of his talent.]

| Quest: Take in a disciple with emperor-level talent within a year. Reward: Awaken 1% of your physique  |

"Wh-what ar-are you? H-how did you enter my consciousness space?" Shioney asked, his voice full of fear but a madness buried deep underneath his gaze.

"Why did you come to me?" Again probed Shioney with his same eyes, which were hundreds of thousands of years ago. He was now 29 billion years old, the normal lifespan of other paragons is 10 billion, but due to his dao, he has 30 billion years, but due to his limiting talent, he cannot reach the higher realm, which made him awaken his true self, a self who is greedy and selfish and can do anything for his own benefit, even lowering his pride as a paragon to reach the higher realm to gain true eternity not longevity.

Again, that emotionless voice echoed.

[Detected that Dark Forbidden Calamities don't have an understanding of All Verse Chaotic Calamity Status]

[Explaining: All Verse Chaotic Calamity Status is a will that you acquired when you were just born and is translated into a system that you are familiar with. It's purpose is to serve Dark Forbidden Calamity to its full potential and nothing else. It can help Dark Forbidden Calamity to breakthrough, gain treasures, and so on.All Verse Chaotic Calamity Status is just a power without spirit, and it can never gain intelligence.

Note: All Verse Chaotic Calamity Status has yet to know what its origin is, and its only purpose since it knows is that its master is Dark Forbidden Calamity, and it is to help him reach his full potential]

"Not a leech, but a power to help me, haaa...?" But how could I easily believe, or so he wanted to think, but couldn't, as he knew that this power or whatever was a lot stronger than him, and he knew deep in his heart that he couldn't do anything about it for the time being and could only accept it.

"So, what's this side mission and quest thing? And how do I get stronger? By completing it or what?"

[Warning! Warning! This is the last time All Verse Chaotic Calamity Status will use voice, so the Dark Forbidden Calamity has to go to his consciousness space to look at it after this explanation, as All Verse Chaotic Calamity Status doesn't have any features to sound after the basic explanation]

[The quests are the missions the Dark Forbidden Calamity has to complete if he wants to gain the rare rewards.

Missions are divided into two types: main and side missions.

The main mission is the quest the Dark Forbidden Calamity has to fulfill anyhow, and the rewards for it are a lot more rare and powerful than those of the side mission, and if not completed, he will die.

 The side mission is the one that Dark Forbidden Calamity can reject as long as he wants.There's only one main mission, and Darkforbidden Calamity has to complete it anyhow if he wants to live]

| Detected that the Dark Forbidden Calamity has been briefed about the main mission  |

 [Issuing main mission: Become the most powerful existence to have ever been in the past or future.

Reward:????

Penalty: Death (the arch-enemy of the Dark Forbidden Calamity will sense you and kill you if you don't become the strongest)  ]
