"So, Calty, there's a name out of the blue, so what's your excuse now!" (3D girl)
The menacing revolver was appeared once again. Damn writer! How could he suddenly came out with naming character! Calvin was stared at the writer.
*Writer: I'm sorry! The google translate is so mighty that it can make random name with few words! I will fixed it within the flow of the story! I promise! Please trust me! Please don't beat me!*
"It's writer fault! He promised he will fix it for you! Please trust him! Please shoot him to death if he lied! Just don't aim that thing on me! Please!" (Calvin)
"Hmph! Once again I will trust you, Calty! If you dare to break it, then I will break your bones!" (3D girl)
Their attention was back to Eddie. He was still checking the armor and talking with his sword.
"This armor is stronger than Heaven grade artifact. Is this on the god level equipment? This is so absurd. Jian, how is your feeling?" (Eddie)
"I feel stronger, Master. I can cut 10 pieces of previous me like butter." (Hong Jian)
"So it is. Calvin, what is the material that even you are hardly can get it? Maybe I can find help you to find it. Just consider this as part of my gratitude." (Eddie)
"It's the core from void beast. It can not be found in the universe, brother." (Calvin)
"Void beast? What is it?" (3D girl)
"You know that universe is basically a domain of god. And there are many domains out there. This domains are stacked like marbles in the bag. And they're hit each other once for a while. Once they hit too hard, the friction swill create something that has trait from both side. If it's stable, it can become another domain of god. A new god can be born that way. But if it's not, there are two outcome. One, it will get destroyed by the instability. The second one, it will become a creature that can not advance anymore. A god without domain. It's the void beast. It grows by hunting other beast, or something that floating at the void zone. When it attack a god domain, it will only get repelled. It's still being considered as one with god power. And by an absolute law, gods can not fight each other within their domain. The core of the beast once be named as anti-matter by some scientists, the element of god by others." (Bruce)
"And he's using it as a gaming pc, damn Calty, you are such wastrel!" (3D girl)
"And what should I make? A bomb? Weapon? Household tools?" (Calvin)
That's a right question. What should he make. Sadly, the best answer was his pc. Weapon? He was a living catastrophe. A mobile ragnarok. Household tools? Bruce was the one who doing the chores, so it's overruled.
"So that thing over there is void beast." (Eddie)
He was pointing at his back. Everyone was shocked. Eddie has been hunted by a failed god.
"Wow Eddie, you've been targeted by it. How long has it following you?" (Calvin)
"For few months, it keep following me, but it's never approaching me. It's keeping at fixed distance. Oh, wait, now it seems like it want to run away?" (Eddie)
"It must be sensing the anti-matter at the tab. But now after you're integrating with it, it think that you are much stronger than it. so it's instinct tell it to run away." (Bruce)
"So, my first debut with god armor is to fight it. let's go Jian, time to give a present for Calvin." (Eddie)
He flew to the void beast with the sword on his hand. He was so fast that in a mere blink of eyes, he had done attacking the beast. The beast was twitching for few times before it's disintegrated. The only thing left on it's place was a bead of dark material. Eddie grabbed the bead and examined it.
"Hm, 36 slashes, that's like cutting pizza." (Calvin)
"He can be a great chef with the skill, master." (Bruce)
3D girl's mouth was twitching. He was a swordman. On the grand master level. And they tended to asked him as a chef?
"Calty, is the void beast really as strong as god? Why it looked like it's too weak?" (3D girl)
"That beast is mere a juvenile stage. it's not that powerful." (Calvin)
"I see, I was thinking the same thing Calvin, I thought I will have to fight for days and nights. But it's just a baby, hahaha and here I thought that I have defeated a god level existence, I've overestimating my capability." (Eddie)
"Sir Eddie, a baby beast has 1% of god power. The juvenile beast you've killed before has 37% of god power. So I think you still can fight a fully adult void beast and claim the victory. Although it will take a few days of fighting." (Bruce)
"This form… is that strong?" (Eddie)
He still couldn't believe the reality. Fighting god was never heard before at his realm. Even god existence was still debatable. But now he could be on par with them to some extend. What kind of encounter he's facing right now? What if he met situation like some story that Calvin and his group become the enemy that he had to fight at the end of day? His thought was running wild.
"You want to test it? I can fight you, you know." (Calvin)
"You just want to bully him, did you?" (3D girl)
"Hey, girl, I want to know the fullest capability of my creation, you know. That's including my own suit. It has nothing to do with bullying someone. Why are you being so negative to me?" (Calvin)
"Your words sound nice, but your smirk, your eyes that burning with desire, your shaking hands. You are just want to beat someone!" (3D girl)
"It's alright little miss, I want to know this suit's limitation too. But, Calvin, can I ask you one thing?" (Eddie)
"What is it?" (Calvin)
"Please don't kill me." (Eddie)
"Damn it! we're just testing the suit, not some torturing. Hey Astrid, am I really look that bad?" (Calvin)
"100% master!" (Astrid)
"… whatever. Bruce, the portal, please." (Calvin)
"Of course, master. By the way, master, be gentle." (Bruce)
"Ugh.. not you too. I'm leaving!" (Calvin)
As soon as Bruce opened the portal, Calvin jumped in. few seconds later he was in front of Eddie.
"Here Calvin, the core." (Eddie)
"Use it to enhance your armor, brother. I still have some at the storage." (Calvin)
"Are you sure? This thing is priceless, isn't it?" (Eddie)
"Hey Bruce, how many stock we have?" (Calvin)
"3.012 pinnacle void beast cores, master. The lower grades didn't counted since you've said that they're less useful" (Bruce)
"See, just use it brother, and feel the differences." (Calvin)
Without hesitant Eddie absorbed the core to his armor. He forgot who Calvin was. This damned man was resourceful and strong, of course he wouldn't lack any wealth. Sometimes comparison were making anyone hurt themselves.
"Eddie, I don't know if I should say this or not, since I'm not a cultivator and a swordman." (Calvin)
"Just spill it Calvin. You won't say something useless, will you?" (Eddie)
"Well, most of time I will say something useless, but not this time. Eddie, calm your mind. The past was just a dream. The present is the reality. The future is a mirage. Let your regret go. You can not run and hide. Hold your head high and face them all, bear all the consequences with a pride of the sword." (Calvin)
Eddie closed his eyes. By the time his armor finished absorbing the core, he opened his eyes. They were glowing sharp.
"That's a lousy words, Calvin." (Eddie)
"Hahaha I'm not a preacher, brother." (Calvin)
Eddie stood and stare at the empty zone. His spiritual energy was transformed and became denser.
"I! AM! NOT! AFRAID!"
"I was a man who called a King of Red Sword! I live with a sword in my hand! I live with a sword in my heart! Sword is my Dao! And no one will ever change it. Let's fight, Calvin." (Eddie)
"Good! G3X mode! Let's fight!" (Calvin)
As soon as the words end, they start to fight. Eddie was disappeared and slashing Calvin in front of him. Only Calvin's mirage was being cut in two. As soon as his attack end, he was greeted with a rain of bullets.
"Ahahahaha Kerberos, burst mode!" (Calvin)
"This bastard is bringing gun at sword fight!" (3D girl)
"Ah, that's why he chose G3X, he just wanted to use the gatling gun." (Astrid)
They were fighting like that back and forth for few rounds. Rain of bullets, parrying, slashing, dodging, repeat.
"Alright, warming up is over. Guyverd mode!" (Calvin)
The next rounds of fight were brawling. Stabbing, kicking, parrying, punching, slashing, dodging. Repeat.
"hohoho this suits are better than I thought. All right Eddie, ready for next move?" (Calvin)
"Always do, Calvin." (Eddie)
He was excited. He never fought this kind of battle that was so intense. He felt the adrenaline was rushing faster and stronger than ever. This is… fun!
"Kabuto mode! Hyper clock up!" (Calvin)
Calvin was disappearing and Eddie had hard time to located him.
"Where is he? This speed is ridiculous!" (Eddie)
"ONE."
He's not on his left nor right side.
"TWO."
He's not on his back.
"THREE."
He's not above him.
"RIDER KICK!"
Below! Eddie had a quick thought. He stabbed his sword below his feet.
"Mirror of thousands stab!"
A bagua pattern was appeared on tip of his sword. As soon as it was form, the attack was arrived at same time. A bright light was formed by the collision. After the light was gone, they both were standing face to face.
"Seems like you've reaching your limit, Eddie." (Calvin)
"Yes, I can feel that, why is that, Calvin?" (Eddie)
"You need to use your spiritual power to control it. Based on your performance so far, with your full power, you can only fight for 6 hours until you faint. In other world, if you fight a god, if you can not win in 4 hours, you'll officially dead." (Calvin)
"What about the last 2 hours?" (Eddie)
"You can outrun him within that time. This is god we're talking about. 3 hours to runaway from him. Or death. Remember it." (Calvin)
Eddie was nodded. He thought that he would never fight god in the first place. Beating his own god? What a ridiculous story.
"Let's wrap this up. Be prepare Eddie, I will use my final attack to test your defense." (Calvin)
He flew away from Eddie. His suit now changed to jet black without any texture. Eddie had a bad feeling about that.
"Here I go Eddie! KA! ME! HA!.." (Calvin)
"I GIVE UP!" (Eddie)
