"Impossible, how could this be? How can, how can a veteran rank creature have a will?"
The ego slowly lifts its head with a human-like smirk plastered on its face, the outline of the black stars within its eyes flickering brightly.
'Got you.'
"It was a trap from the beginning. How did you know I was here?…Are you from the Beast Alliance?" asks the creature in a terrified tone. The ego remained silent with an excited expression on his face.
Was this a trap? No, not really. Did he know of the creature before? Obviously not.
But the moment he stepped foot inside the lifeless area, something went off in his eyes. The only way he could put it was hunger; his eyes were hungry, and it sent him a signal that a juicy snack was in front.
When he was fighting the scorpion creature, he sensed a force watching him, assessing him, so he didn't use his force. But as the force was assessing him, he was assessing it as well.
And his conclusion was no threat; even though the force that was scanning him was strong, it wasn't to the point where it could threaten him…
The moment he laid eyes on the creature's corpse, his eyes were basically salivating, and he could see a faint outline of something glowing in the corpse's head.
That's when it clicked: the glowing thing was what his eyes wanted. And the rest was all coincidence; there was no way he could have known that the creature would voluntarily go inside his mind.
He originally plan on letting the creature drag him close to itself, then break free from it force, catching it off guard, then slit its head open and grab the glowing thing, but fortunately, the creature offered itself willingly. '
'Ahahaha!'
"Please don't kill me! I'll give you all my research. It contains information on how to break past the supreme warrior rank. Just let me go and I'll give it to you!" screamed the creature. The ego stood silent, trying to deduce some of the creature's words.
Seeing his expression, the creature continued,
"Do you not understand me? Don't tell me you're a wild beast."
The ego felt he wouldn't be able to understand any of the creature's words anytime soon, and he couldn't hold it here forever, so he decided to get rid of it.
The ego transformed into a giant black glowing star that burned with black flames.
Blazes!
The frozen creature was lit up with black flames.
"Aaaah, no please stop!" the creature cried out. He increased the temperature; he enjoyed hearing the creature scream.
'That's what you get, ahahaha, scream more, scream!' After a while, the creature's screams stopped, and all that remained of the creature was an extremely tiny glowing ball.
The ego transforms back into its rabbit form. Following his instinct, he opens his mouth and swallows the tiny ball.
He then lifts his head upwards; his eyes started shining black light. 'Knowledge, so much knowledge! Numbers, words, Primal Continent, enlightened ones, beasts, warriors, will, endless ocean!'
"MAGNIFICENT!"
Outside
The rabbit landed on the ground gracefully, his eyes closed, absorbing the information he had received.
He obtained all the information about the world that the creature knew—no memories though; those were burned away by the black flames. A few minutes later, he opened his eyes.
'I see.'
With the knowledge he obtained, his worldview has expanded tremendously.
This world is called the Primal Continent, and just as the name suggests, it is a giant continent, measuring approximately 388 million square kilometers surrounded by endless water.
The continent is composed of forests, towering mountains, and patches of deserts here and there, but mostly forests.
Countless different species live on the Primal Continent, but it was only ruled by three races who called themselves the enlightened ones.
The enlightened ones : the Barbarians, the Skyclan, and the Rukclan.
These three race are innately blessed with intelligence. Unlike the other races whom they viewed as insignificant beasts, where they're lucky if just one out of a thousand is born with intelligence, every single enlightened one is born with the ability to think. And another thing that separated them from other creatures was that every single one of them was born with warrior talent.
Warriors. The ones who had broken pass their natural limit. those who were born with something called a nexus sphere inside their hearts.
The nexus sphere allowed creatures to interact with what are called ascension particles [the glowing black particles].
There are many ranks to nexus sphere/talent grade: bronze, silver, and gold. The higher the talent rank, the faster one could absorb ascension particles.
Warriors are also divided into ranks: novice warriors, veteran warriors, and supreme warriors.
The gap between each rank is huge; it would take 3 novice warriors just to match one veteran warrior, and it would take at least 8 veteran warriors to match a supreme warrior, and that is just an ordinary supreme warrior.
The supreme warrior rank is split into it separate tiers known as supreme king and supreme emperor, and the gap is just as big as the previous ranks.
One of the main reasons why the Enlightened could rule the continent was because they had warriors at the supreme emperor tier ....
He opens his eyes, looks at the lifeless creature seated on the throne, and whispers,
"Adonist, the first barbarian emperor. How pitiful."
After which he grabbed the corpse and threw it into the pool of blood. He stood in front of the pool, his eyes flashed, and the pool burst into black flames.
Unlike the previous times he used black flames, this time he used the force from his mind to control it, which he now knows is called a will.
After a while, the giant pool became almost empty, only leaving behind a single drop of bright red blood. He controlled it to float in front of him, then he swallowed it, and immediately his body started to transform.....
Meanwhile, in the depths of the primal forest, the Barbarian Empire.
A male barbarian, 8ft tall with purple skin, clad in armor, flashes through the busy streets of the empire. He is moving so fast that no one notices him. Soon he appears in front of a huge palace; he vanishes again and reappears in front of the door of a chamber.
He stood motionlessly in front of the door; he could hear sounds of debauchery echoing from inside.
"AHH~AHH...HARDER, HARDER... I SAID HARDER, GOD DAMMIT!"
*Pah*pah*pah*pah*
"ANH... YES, JUST LIKE THAT... DON'T STOP, DON'T STOP, YESSSS!"
After five minutes, the sounds stopped, then a female voice rang out from the chamber,
"Come in."
He walked with his head lowered, and after walking 10ft, he dropped to his knees.
"My empress , the first prince has been killed while exploring Forgotten Valley, and all of his guards have been ki—"
BOOM!
Before he could finish his sentence, a terrifying pressure enveloped him, causing him to sink into the floor, and his bones started to crack.
In front of him an extremely beautiful barbarian with bright purple skin, long and wild hair, sleek but muscle-built with curves in all the right places.
She stood in front of him naked with semen running down her legs. Beside her lay three naked unconscious male barbarians.
"Who did it?" she asked, her voice cold.
"All evidence points to the sky people, my queen," the barbarian answered, his voice trembling a little.
The pressure intensified, causing blood to run from his nose. " my empress!" he cried out in a weak voice.
The pressure vanishes.
"It doesn't matter who did it. Since someone dare to kill my son, the whole world must pay….Send out a notice. All the kings must return immediately . We are going to war," said Alexandra, her eyes radiating cold.
"It looks like they forgot who I am. It seems like I need to wash this continent with blood once more," said Alexandra with a cruel smile etched on her face.
"Yes!" the barbarian replied, then instantly vanished from the chamber.
Immediately after the barbarian vanishes,
Alexandra's expression turns indifferent. 'Beast Emperor.'
