Chapter 26 - Dukkha's Origin

Tommy saw that strange look on Jayson's face, but since he had his complete memory, he already discovered Instantly that Jayson still remembers.

But, he did not pay much attention to it...

Tommy instead pondered more about Dukkha.

Tommy gestured with his fingers and Edward, Riele and Jayson knew immediately that they were to follow him.

Tommy moved, his feet moving under the icy terrain. His legs steady unto the now icy roads so that, he wouldn't put too much weight on his feet and risk plunging deep into it's icy cold water.

Jayson immediately flashed an annoyed glance at Tommy.

"You're the President's son for crying loud, do we really have to walk to the estate?"

Jayson finally whined not able to tolerate walking on foot especially when crossing the frozen atlantic.

Tommy, with his natural grace and eerie calmness glanced at Jayson, not answering at all.

This was Tommy's real persona... His true personality. Despite using his avatar's body, he could still display hundred percent of his personality...

Jayson was starting to frown...

"Are you ignoring me?"

"You're my damn boyfriend for crying out loud... why am I even here?!"

Edward and Riele turned towards him and Riele answered, rather nonchalantly. "You're his boyfriend... I think that's it."

Tommy smiled.

He had finally erased Jayson's some portion of Jayson's memory. Which brought him back to his overbearing nature.

Naturally, those existences had been erased but Jayson had hidden himself away from that existence using origin Tracer... So all Tommy did was to erase his memory. Jayson had already lost the memory of all Tommy told him...

He had forgotten who rescued earth when it was about to be ruined...

He had even forgotten that the earth was ever attacked...

He also forgot about Tommy's past, and future... He only remembered one thing!

Tommy had last fought him and left. Then, he found himself here.

The only possible explanation is... he followed Tommy to England without thinking critically about it.

A smile found its way across Tommy's face as his lips curved up.

Tommy ignored his banter as his face became rather serious and contemplative.

Why has dukkha decided to plan?

What was his motive now?

Dukkha is an unfathomable man, vile and evil. A dark sentinel of demons dungeon who's only work is to plot the downfall of humanity...

Not just humanity, Dukkha is known for his scheming nature. He always wants a situation where by, he is superior to every other beings ...even those evil primordial beings cannot stand shoulder to shoulder with him in schemes.

Tommy felt his head suddenly aching.

When dukkha had decided to go into seclusion— announcing that he'd resume his schemes in the next ten thousand centuries, Tommy had been glad...

He had visibly relaxed. Knowing that his other missions can be accomplished steadily without having to feel pressured by all the advancing issues.

But all of a sudden, only five thousand centuries had passed and Dukkha wants to strike...

Tommy massaged his temples.

Dukkha, as one of the descendants of the sun... Sun god, he possessed vile flames that continued to burn whenever he passes.

One of his ability can burn an entire universe to a crisp and Tommy was suddenly getting increasingly worried.

Tommy himself had never been able defeat Dukkha, that's the main reason he had seemed help from the man atop the mountain who gave him a second body so that he can re-cultivate another great power which he would probably merge together with his current power.

Tommy immediately remembered something and a chill crawled down his spine.

*Flash back*

"Listen to me Azriel, no matter how unfathomable your own power is... It can never surpass the power of the sun!" This was dukkha's statement and Azriel— which was actually Tommy gave Dukkha a chilling gaze.

"You might be from a direct lineage...

You might hold sun god's inheritance...

You might be a renown schemer...

You might even be the devil! However, let me tell you something, I... Don't... Care!"

A monstrous level of energy swept through the fabric of existence, sequence particles— the terrifying law of the universe Death Pool flashed, the world around been instantly erased at an alarming rate...

Dukkha was frightened by this power so, he summoned his inheritance, and a terrifying power Instantly ignored Azriel's sequence particles... Making him almost undefeatable.

...

Tommy shook his head after reminiscing...

This battle is definitely going to be very tough. The last seven thousand centuries, he must have improved his strength beyond Darvan level.

"Tommy..."

Tommy turned towards Riele who had called him.

"Yes."

"Are we getting close... Even as Awakened, we still get exhausted."

Tommy gazed at the icy terrain and scanned the place.

"We should be out soon..."

Tommy did not reveal too much and both Riele and Edward found it strange that Tommy was talking somewhat shortly. He did not talk too much like he always do.

And of course, Jayson who realized this was forced to shut up...

Tommy was behaving with a strange sense of maturity— a level even beyond those elderly people.

After Tommy walked for a while, a Spatial crack appeared in the void and he stepped into it...

However, due to Tommy's level of knowledge, the spatial crack's duration became ten seconds longer...

< 10 >

< 9 >

< 8 >

< 7 >

< 6 >

By then, they have all entered the crack, abandoning it as they walked further into the icy land.

Tommy Instantly decide to improve himself while they journeyed on foot. With his level of knowledge, becoming a Non-return is actually a walk in the park.

Tommy's world born from Unconsciousness Instantly changed, and abandoning the unconscious nature, it took the very shape of his soul— also nurtured by divine flames.

His world Instantly enveloped a almost half of earth. A huge improvement...

Tommy sighed.

Although it seem like a huge improvement, but for Tommy, with his monstrous strength, this particular improvement is considered nothing.

Tommy twisted his feet and with his knowledge about illusions, he created a strange scene... For himself, for Edward, for Riele and for Jayson.

Tommy did not care what their reaction would be...

But all of a sudden, an ilusory body rose from the icy ground, cracks spreading across the ground and icy cold water splashing around the air...

A gigantic creature emerged, opening it's powerful maw with sharp blade-like teeth.

Then, it locked it's titanic jaws and shrieked loudly causing Edward, Riele and Jayson to scream in horror...

And that was it, Tommy cancelled the illusion as he had Instantly entered the second stage of his soul formation...

Meanwhile, Riele, Edward and Jayson were still suffering from the aftershock of such illusion.
