Chereads / Beyond The Gods' Will / Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 6 – MAIN BASE

Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 6 – MAIN BASE

49 minutes into the flight...

The cockpit hummed with power, the holographic radar displaying a vast, uncharted ocean ahead. 

Orion's hands gripped the dual joysticks, his keen eyes scanning the horizon as he soared 1.5 times the speed of sound, slicing through the air like a phantom.

The Sahara Rainforest of Pangaea faded behind him, its dense green canopy swallowed by the endless blue stretching below.

Orion exhaled slowly, his mind locked in calculation.

Orion (thinking): No islands in this era... except two. One west, one east-north. The one I need—1500 kilometers northeast. Target was [Today.. George Island].

The jet's Mana-Infused Coating shimmered, dispersing the intense heat generated by the Mach 1.5 speed. 

Even at 15,000 feet, the air pressure pushed against the cockpit glass like an invisible force, but Orion remained unfazed.

Then—

{NOTE : Orion Linked his System with Control Panel of the JET}

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

🔹 Distance to George Island: 100 km

🔹 Time Until Arrival: 3 minutes 16 seconds

🔹 Landing Zone: Ocean Approach Required

Orion's lips curled into a sharp grin.

Orion: "No runway, huh? Then I make my own."

His finger flicked a switch, disengaging full-speed flight mode. The jet's Mana-Controlled Airflow Systems adjusted, forcing a controlled deceleration as the thrusters switched to precision landing mode.

From below, the ocean roared—a vast, untamed body of water stretching infinitely. The island was close.

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

🔹 Altitude Dropping: 15,000 ft → 8,000 ft → 3,000 ft…

🔹 Estimated Water Landing: 4 km from shore.

Orion's mind worked fast.

A direct crash into water at this speed? Instant disintegration. 

He had to angle the descent, calculate the precise moment to engage the reverse thrusters, and let the ocean slow him naturally.

His fingers tightened on the controls.

Orion (thinking): Easy now... A miscalculation and I'm sinking faster than a broken warship.

500 meters to impact.

The wind screamed against the jet's body, water rippling wildly beneath as Orion pulled the joysticks up at the perfect angle—10 degrees, enough to maintain a glide but not too steep to bounce off the water.

FWOOOSH!

The jet's underbelly kissed the ocean, sending an explosive spray of water into the air. 

Momentum carried it forward, the drag of the water slowing it gradually, but the force still threatened to veer it off course.

Orion reacted instantly.

His left hand twisted the stabilizer, balancing the craft. 

His right hand engaged the emergency thruster pulse—a quick burst to counteract turbulence.

WHOOSH!

The jet cut through the water like a blade, skimming across the surface, the distance to the island shrinking with each passing second.

200 meters... 150... 100...

Then—

The final deceleration.

Orion disengaged the last of the thrusters, letting the remaining force dissipate naturally.

The jet glided the final meters across the ocean, coming to a near-perfect stop less than 20 meters from the island's rocky shore.

Silence.

Orion sat back, exhaling, his pulse steady.

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

✔️ Landing Successful.

✔️ Damage Report: 0%

✔️ Jet Status: Fully Operational.

A smirk played on Orion's lips.

Orion: "Smooth."

He unstrapped himself, stepping out of the cockpit onto the wing. 

The ocean breeze hit his face, and before him, the untouched wilderness of George Island awaited—a place no civilization had ever set foot on.

This would be his base of operations.

He took a slow breath, feeling the weight of the moment.

Orion (thinking): From here... I build everything.

With a final glance at his jet resting in the ocean, he leaped onto the shore, his boots sinking into the damp sand.

The true beginning of his dominion had just begun.

MEANWHILE ------------------->

Xeno Star Cluster – The Domain of the Universal Gods

Far beyond mortal reach, in the heart of the Xeno Star Cluster, seven colossal celestial bodies floated in absolute stillness.

These were not planets. They were divine fortresses, each home to a Universal God—beings who had shaped after the Great Rewind of Multiverse.

At the center of them all, a massive, radiant celestial body pulsed with power.

The Meeting Celestial Body.

For eons, it had remained silent.

Until now.

A disturbance in time itself had forced the gods to convene.

Castle of Time – The Domain of the New God of Time

Upon the first celestial body, a vast throne room stretched infinitely in all directions—an illusion of endless time loops, where every moment coexisted simultaneously.

Sitting upon a throne of fractured golden rings and shifting cosmic dust was the new God of Time.

Zareth – The Eternal Arbiter

His body was half golden, half obsidian, forever split between the past and the future.

His eyes contained infinite timelines, flickering like broken mirrors.

At his side, a cold silver-blue flame hovered.

Flame of Life – Xyra

Unlike the old Flame of Life, Xyra was calculating, emotionless, and absolute.

It existed solely to detect anomalies—to ensure the rewritten history remained undisturbed.

And today, something had disturbed it.

Xyra (flickering violently): "An anomaly has appeared."

Zareth's golden and obsidian eyes shifted.

Zareth : "Explain yourself."

Xyra : "My Counterpart has appeared in Shin(Milky Way) Star Field on a Planet Called Earth."

Zareth (calmly): "Oh... Summon the six, Now."

With a pulse of command—

The Xeno Star Cluster trembled.

The Meeting Hall - Eternal Castle.

One by one, six divine entities materialized within the Meeting Celestial Body, their immense presences bending the very fabric of reality.

Astraeus – God of Space

A vast, shifting entity whose form was a swirling nebula, constantly expanding and collapsing.

His voice echoed across dimensions, layered in infinite tones.

Astraeus (curious): "An emergency summons from the God of Time? Rare."

Veyra – Goddess of the Void

A tall, hooded figure made of absolute darkness, her form consuming light itself. Where she stood, reality cracked.

Veyra (coldly amused): "Time rarely concerns itself with trivial matters. This must be entertaining."

Elvarion – God of Creation

A luminous figure bathed in golden-white cosmic energy, embodying the forge of existence.

Elvarion (frowning) : "What force has tampered with the rewritten fate?"

Syphoros – God of Life

A radiant, silver-skinned deity whose breath created stars, and whose tears birthed galaxies.

Syphoros (concerned ): "If life itself is disturbed… then this is no minor matter."

Nytheris – Goddess of Death

A silent, statuesque figure draped in spectral mist, her mere presence stilling the flow of time.

Nytheris (whispering): "All things end in death. What has escaped its fate?"

Malakar – God of Chaos & Power

A being of pure, unstable energy, his form constantly shattering and reforming.

Malakar (grinning): "Hah! Something's finally breaking the rules? Good. I was getting bored."

The universe itself seemed to hush as the seven gods faced one another.

Zareth stood, his presence encompassing all time at once.

Zareth: "A disturbance has appeared in the mortal realm. An entity outside our divine records. An existence that should not be."

Xyra (coldly): "A second Flame of Life has surfaced."

Silence.

Then—

Astraeus (sharply): "Impossible. after the 3rd War all prior Flames of Life were Erased."

Veyra (intrigued): "Yet… here we are."

Elvarion (grimly): "Which means something slipped through."

Syphoros: "A being outside our control…"

Malakar (grinning): "Or a being meant to shake our control?"

The gods turned toward Zareth, awaiting the revelation.

He raised his hand, and golden threads of time coiled into the shape of an image.

A mortal.

A warrior with silver-black hair. Battle-hardened eyes. A presence unlike any before.

Zareth (low voice): "His name is Orion. He Appeared out of Nowhere, 2 clocks prior (1 clock is 1.5 Days on earth). The Second Flame was with Him "

Xyra: "He should not exist."

Astraeus (God of Space, calculating): "A mortal slipping through the fabric of time itself… I cannot decide if that is brilliance or madness."

Veyra (Goddess of the Void, smirking): "Perhaps both."

Elvarion (God of Creation, sternly): "This anomaly must be erased. We do not allow mistakes to fester."

Nytheris (Goddess of Death, Intrigued): "Impossible, This Mortal... He Does Not Fear Death."

Malakar (God of Chaos, laughing) : "Now this is Interesting, a Mortal who does not fear Death."

Astraeus (God of Space) : "The Flame of life beside him is Impossibly Weakened."

Syphoros (God of Life, cautious): "Perhaps, He's hiding his powers."

Elvarion (God of Creation, Arrogantly) : "No that Flame of Life is Weakened, Nothing can hide it's potential in front of me."

Malakar (God of Chaos) : "What a Bore! I've lost Interest, do what you want with the flame. 

I am more Interested in that mortal who does not fear death."

Nytheris (Goddess of Death) : "I'll make him fear Death."

Malakar : "You will not touch him, He's my Prey."

A long pause.

Nytheris : "Don't be arrogant, He's my prey. I'll make him fear me."

Malakar (Pissed) : "Wanna fight it out."

Suddenly God of Chaos and Goddess of Death let there Energies out and were ready to clash.

Zareth : "Silence!!"

Malakar : "Tch!"

Nytheris : "Don't you Tch! me."

Then, Zareth made his decision.

Zareth (coldly): "So… I've made my Decision. They may be an Anomaly! but are too weak to do any harm, So for now I'll let the matter rest for Now."

Xyra: "No, Erase him!"

Zareth : "I've Passed My Judgment, It will Not be Re-Written."

Xyra (Thinking) : "Do what you want, don't come to me regretting letting them live."

Far below, in the mortal realm, Orion stood on George Island, completely unaware.

He had no idea that across the Xeno Star Cluster, seven Universal Gods were watching him.

For now, they had chosen to observe.

But if he stepped out of line—

He would cease to exist.

BACK ON Today's.... GEORGES ISLAND -------->

Standing at the edge of the untouched shore, Orion crossed his arms, surveying the vast, wild terrain before him.

The wind howled through the trees, the scent of salt and fresh earth filling the air. 

The island stretched far beyond the horizon, a land unclaimed, unnamed—until now.

A smirk tugged at his lips.

Orion (thinking): "Technically, I'm the first one here… so I can name it whatever I want."

He glanced back at the jet resting in the shallows, its sleek, futuristic design a stark contrast to the prehistoric wilderness before him.

Orion (thinking): "This place will be my foundation. My fortress. 

The first piece of an empire that no god, no force in the universe, can touch."

His fingers tightened into a fist.

Orion (muttering): "A name that fits..."

He closed his eyes, letting instinct guide him.

Then—it hit him.

A name forged from his own conquest, his own legacy.

Orion: "Imperius Dominion"

It rolled off his tongue like a decree.

Imperius—the Absolute Island. A name that defined superiority.

His smirk widened.

Orion (grinning): "Yeah. That'll do."

The first dominion of Orion had been named.

The roar of engines faded as Orion powered down the jet, its sleek frame resting on a wide, 

open plain nestled between the island's central cliffs and its sprawling jungle. 

The land was solid, the perfect natural landing zone—far from the dense forests and unpredictable terrain.

He stepped away, boots pressing into the firm earth. A deep breath. The air was different—thick with untapped power.

Orion (thinking): "This place… It's alive."

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

🔹 Environmental Mana Density: 8x Standard Levels

🔹 Unstable Elemental Distributions Detected – High Earth & Fire Activity

A smirk tugged at Orion's lips. This wasn't just an island. It was a powerhouse of natural energy.

His grip tightened around his saber as he moved deeper into the wilderness, scanning the terrain with both instinct and Omniscience.

After trekking a few kilometers inland, Orion's perception flared. 

The ground beneath his feet pulsed—not with life, but with something deeper, older, stronger.

Then—he found it.

A massive fissure in the land, lined with glowing emerald-like formations embedded in its walls. 

The soil around it was unnaturally dense and compacted, radiating an overwhelming sense of stability and resilience.

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

🔹 Earth Mana Vein Located – A Deep Reservoir of Earth Energy

🔹 Effects: Enhances Physical Strength, Strengthens Infrastructure, Increases Defensive Capabilities

Orion crouched, pressing a hand against the stone. The energy vibrated beneath his fingertips.

Orion (grinning): "This island just keeps getting better."

With this, he could:

✔ Build unbreakable fortifications—a base that no siege could breach.

✔ Enhance his body's durability.

✔ Infuse weapons and tools with Earth Mana, increasing their endurance.

This wasn't just a resource. It was a game-changer.

But the island wasn't finished revealing its secrets.

As Orion continued east, the temperature rose. The jungle air became thicker, heavier, until even his enhanced stamina felt the burn.

Then—he saw it.

A massive crater, its interior pulsating with glowing red fissures. 

The ground hissed with escaping steam, and the very air crackled with energy.

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

🔹 Fire Qi Vein Located – A Pure Source of Fire Qi

🔹 Effects: Enhances Attack Power, Strengthens Fire-Based Skills, Supercharges Forging & Refining

Orion (thinking): "A Fire Qi Vein? This place is insane."

If he harnessed this energy, he could:

✔ Boost his combat strength, increasing the power of his strikes.

✔ Craft legendary weapons, forging sabers and armor infused with Fire Qi.

✔ Fuel high-energy devices, turning this island into a technological powerhouse.

He clenched his fist. 

(Thinking) : This was war fuel.

Orion's Omniscience tingled, drawing him toward the rugged mountains near the island's western edge. 

The deeper he walked, the stronger the resonance became.

Then—he saw the entrance.

A cave, its walls glimmering with faint blue and gold light. 

Inside, crystalline structures jutted from the stone, humming with energy so pure it was almost suffocating.

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

🔹 Qi and Mana Crystal Mine Located – A Source of Natural Energy Storage

🔹 Effects: Enhances Cultivation Speed, Strengthens Energy-Based Creations, Used for High-Level Enchantments & Technology.

Orion ran a hand along the cool, pulsating surface of a Mana Crystal.

Orion (thinking): "With this… I can create anything."

✔ Refine Qi and Mana into weapons, armor, and technology.

✔ Supercharge his cultivation speed, growing stronger at an unnatural rate.

✔ Store energy for future use, creating an independent power source.

This wasn't just valuable—it was beyond priceless.

A snap of branches. A low growl.

Orion's instincts flared as he turned, eyes locking onto the jungle's shadowed depths.

📜 [SYSTEM WARNING] 📜

🔹 Detected: Low-Class Monster Horde (300+ Entities)

🔹 Types Identified:

 Ironhide Boars (Tank-like creatures with Earth Mana-infused hides)

 Crimson Raptors (Fast, Fire Qi-enhanced hunters with razor talons)

 Mana Sprites (Floating, energy-feeding creatures that disrupt cultivation)

A Crimson Raptor lunged from the trees, its eyes glowing red, claws extended—

Orion sidestepped, his saber flashing.

SHINK!

The blade severed the raptor's head mid-air, its body collapsing as the jungle went silent.

Then—a deep roar echoed.

A larger beast emerged from the underbrush.

A Titanblood Boar. Twice the size of the others. Its hide shimmered with raw Earth Mana, its tusks glowing with a faint blue aura.

Orion : "So… you're the boss?"

Orion gripped his saber tighter.

Orion: "Fine. Let's test my new hunting ground."

The TitanBlood Boar let out a thunderous roar, its tusks glowing blue, veins pulsing with raw Earth Mana.

In response, the entire horde charged.

📜 [SYSTEM WARNING] 📜

 🔹 Enemy Count: 300+

 🔹 Leader: Titanblood Boar (Mid-Tier Rank Beast)

 🔹 Threat Level: High

Orion stood his ground. His breath steady, grip firm. He had faced battlefields with thousands of soldiers.

But this was different.

No formations. No tactics. Just him… against the wild.

Orion (grinning, tightening his stance): "Alright… come at me."

The Battle Begins.

The first wave hit like a landslide.

Ironhide Boars charged first, their armored bodies crashing forward like battering rams.

Crimson Raptors leapt in, their razor-sharp claws flashing in the moonlight.

Mana Sprites pulsed in the air, sending out disruptive energy waves.

Orion Moved.

With a single step, he dodged left—a raptor's claw barely missing his face. His saber flashed in response—

SLASH!

The raptor's body split in two, its blood steaming against the jungle floor.

Two Ironhide Boars barreled toward him—unstoppable walls of muscle and mana.

Orion (thinking fast): "Their legs are the weakness."

He leapt over them, twisting mid-air—his saber cleaving downward.

SHING!

The blade sliced through their back legs, sending them crashing into each other.

💥 BOOM! The impact shook the ground, crushing weaker monsters beneath them.

For 30 minutes, the jungle became a slaughterhouse.

Orion's blade never stopped moving.

Bodies piled up. Blood soaked the earth.

Each swing, dodge, and strike drained his stamina.

📜 [WARNING] 📜

 ⚠️ Fatigue: 45% → 60% → 72% [AGI : -45% → -60% → -72%]

 ⚠️ Muscle Strain Detected – Recovery Slowing

Orion gritted his teeth. His vision blurred for a split second—a mistake.

A Crimson Raptor lunged from the trees, claws aiming for his throat.

He had no time to block.

But his body moved on instinct.

BAAAM!

A shockwave exploded from his core—his first breakthrough.

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

 🔹 Skill Unlocked – Qi Burst Lv.1

 📖 Temporarily converts Qi into raw force, repelling enemies in a 2-meter radius.

The raptor was sent flying, crashing into the jungle canopy.

Orion (panting, smirking): "Tch. Guess I'm leveling up the hard way."

But then—the final threat stepped forward.

The Titanblood Boar stomped forward, its tusks gleaming with condensed Earth Mana.

It was bigger than the rest, standing at 5 meters tall.

Its hide was like stone, immune to normal cuts.

Its aura alone made weaker monsters flee.

📜 [ WARNING] 📜

 ⚠️ Titanblood Boar is preparing an ultimate charge.

The ground split beneath its hooves.

Orion (breathing heavy): "I'm running out of energy, but…"

His eyes locked onto its legs.

The Earth Mani Vein was fueling its strength—but it also made it predictable.

The boar charged. The earth shook. Trees ripped from their roots.

Orion took one step forward.

He crouched low—waiting.

Then—at the last second—

💥 FLASH STEP!

📜 [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] 📜

 🔹 Skill Unlocked – Flash Step Lv.1

 📖 A high-speed movement technique using Qi to vanish for 0.3 seconds.

Orion disappeared.

The boar's charge hit empty air.

And then—

SHINK!

Orion reappeared directly under its throat—his saber already buried inside.

Orion (whispering): "Die."

A final, decisive slash.

The Titanblood Boar's head fell. Its massive body collapsed, sending out a shockwave that shattered the battlefield.

Silence.
