2022-02-16 21:02:18"Heh!"
Ruger Whitebrook scoffed when Constantine asked that question.
Ruger looked at Constantine like he was looking at an idiot. In fact, he actually insulted Constantine straight to his face as he replied to him.
"Idiot!"
"What do you think this looks like?"
"Obviously, when I was trying to destroy your soul in order to possess your body, something went wrong and I was the one who ended up with his soul almost destroyed and fused to yours. As for why this happened, don't ask me because I don't know. If I did, I would have definitely prevented it from happening and I wouldn't be in this mess."
"Also, before you ask, I don't know how to resolve this issue. Like before, if I have a solution, I would have already resolved this issue, so I wouldn't have to put up with an ignorant mortal like you."
Ruger's words were harsh and direct. He didn't feel guilty at all as he insulted Constantine and he even mentioned how he wanted to possess Constantine's body with a straight face. It was only right that Ruger tried to possess Constantine's body, and the fact he had not succeeded was simply bad luck for Ruger.
Listening to Ruger, Constantine could no longer take his constant ridicule of him.
From the moment Constantine had come face to face with Ruger Whitebrook, he had always been undermined and insulted by the latter to the extent that Constantine could no longer take it.
Constantine himself was a hot-blooded teenager and he couldn't stand criticism normally, even when he was wrong on some occasions. Not to mention now when he was actually the one who had been wrong by Ruger, but the latter showed absolutely no remorse for this fact.
After interacting with Ruger for a time and seeing that it really seemed like he couldn't do anything to him, coupled with the fact that Constantine could no longer stand Ruger debasing him as he did, Constantine became emboldened and rebuked Ruger harshly.
"Shut up... I said shut the hell up!"
"Who are you to talk to me like this? Don't forget that you're the reason why we are in this mess in the first place, not me! If you hadn't tried to possess my body in the first place, none of this would have ever happened. But instead of feeling remorseful for the wrong you have done to me, you're here without an ounce of remorse insulting and debasing me like I am lesser than you."
"What gives you the right to treat me like this?"
Constantine roared loudly at Ruger and rebuked him harshly...
He was not afraid that Ruger would harm him because he could feel that Ruger was weak and had no power to do anything to him at all.
In the end, Ruger really did not do anything to Constantine. He only sneered as he replied to Constantine's rebuke.
"What gives me the right you ask?"
"Naturally, it is because I am strong and you are nothing but a weak brat. In the universe, the strong will always rule against the weak. This is a universal truth that will never change. Naturally, because I am stronger than you, I can do whatever I can to you and there is nothing you can do about it."
"You should be honored that I even deigned to possess your body for myself because then, it would be the only chance for you to ever rise up from your mediocrity in life and achieve greatness."
Ruger was not done speaking...
Pointing at Constantine, Ruger said to him clearly, "Listen, boy, according to your world's analogies, I am a tiger, and you are nothing but a weak little lamb just waiting for the slaughter. It is my will to devour you as I and when I please to do so. You understand?"
Constantine listened to Ruger calling him a weak lamb and while he knew that was the truth when compared to the behemoth Ruger was, Constantine was unreconciled to accept that fact.
Not willing to back down and accept Ruger's labeling of him, Constantine looked directly into Ruger's eyes defiant and said, "Is that so... then pray tell, why a mighty tiger like you was defeated by the weak lamb and had his soul and memories devoured and fused by me?"
"Are you sure you are a real tiger and not a paper cat instead?"
As soon as Constantine's words fell, for the first time, there was a change in Ruger's calm expression. His face immediately transformed from having a carefree expression to becoming incredibly glum and ferocious.
Ruger Whitebrook started darkly at Constantine like he wanted to eat him up and he said to him in a sinister tone of voice, "Careful boy, do not tempt your fate! You are playing with fire. I advise you to not say what you will later regret... words cannot be taken back once said and a tongue that speaks loosely will be cut off and fed to the dogs!"
As Ruger's words fell, his aura became very mighty and imposing, causing the surrounding scenery to change.
The white clouds that filled the space around them immediately became dark and stormy and bolts of powerful lightning flashed inside them, electrifying the air and causing Constantine's body to tingle.
Standing in the midst of this storm, Constantine's senses were overwhelmed with a powerful suppressive pressure that threatened to knock him unconscious. As for Ruger Whitebrook, he sat on a dark cloud with lightning flashing around him looking like a storm god descended on the world.
Ruger's bearing inspired fear and awe in people, and Constantine felt the urge to kneel and worship him immediately.
Constantine was scared to death by this display of absolute power by Ruger, and he immediately regretted provoking this monster that would not be judged by human standards.
But just as Constantine was about to kneel and apologize, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Constantine looked at Ruger Whitebrook, and what he saw caused him to feel terror in the depths of his soul. But despite this, a nagging thought kept lingering in Constantine's head and he constantly asked himself a single question.
If Ruger Whitebrook was really as powerful as he looked, why then did he not simply punish Constantine directly instead of going to all the trouble to scare him like this?

Back to earth 2
With his forehead covered in a nervous sweat, the leader watched as the rift turned into a black dot in space before finally closing completely. As soon as the rift closed, the leader’s shoulders dropped heavily as he breathed a deep sigh of relief. He suddenly felt weak at this moment as the pressure he was feeling in his heart was liberated, making him feel like he would suddenly collapse on the floor. But his training prevented him from doing so. Without the heavy weight of the rift hanging over his head, the leader could finally relax and breathe easily. Taking a moment to regain his composure, the leader turned to captain Keith and reported. “Sir, the rift had finally been closed.”“Good,” captain Keith responded. He continued, “Station a few men to keep watch here and report anything that happens. We don’t want the rift being opened again from the other side. In a while, this place will be turned into a quarantined zone as we wait for the tech guys to arrive and give this p
Back To Earth
The leader hurried to close the rift, which consisted of detonating a set of small special grenades in the small room.On opposite sides of the rift, there were two tall pillar-like objects emitting pulsing light that shine on the dark rift. These two objects were spatial anchors... a kind of stabilizer that was used to maintain an open rift to prevent it from closed prematurely. Like I said before, natural rifts were more stable and could remain open for a very long time without closing. Instead of worrying about keeping a natural rift open, one would worry instead about getting it too close. On the other hand, an artificial rift was difficult to maintain, so stabilizers were needed to keep it open. Human research on space was very slow, and they hadn’t reached the point where they could open and close rifts in other worlds easily. The spatial anchors were a product of genius that had accidentally blossomed to fruition. It was with this anchor technology that the humans were confid
Captain Keith
With one last look at Constantine, the leader finally stepped through the rift. In as much as he was reluctant to leave, the leader knew that staying would not help at all. Instead, it would bring more trouble to Constantine.Who told him to be weak and that he couldn’t lend his strength to Constantine?For that matter, whose fault was it that Earth was too weak to fight against the doom? There was nobody to blame, and they could only blame themselves. In any case, it wasn’t like the leader’s troubles were over. Waiting on the other side of the rift was a whole other set of problems that the leader would have to deal with...As soon as the leader came face to face with his superior. This was a man with the body of a giant. Standing at more than two meters tall, with large burly arms like the barrel of a tank, shoulders as broad as vinyl, and a hulking frame that towered over everybody else, dwarfing them in his shadow. This person was the superior officer in charge of the rescue miss
Wounded?
The leader’s face paled terribly when he saw the twenty-meter-tall doom still standing after taking that powerful lightning ball and coming out unfazed.He thought, ‘This is the end!’When the leader thought that he would be flattened, not meat paste in the next moment, his eyes opened wide in fear as he supported Constantine with his body.The leader's eyes were looking forward in a daze as he awaited his inevitable end. But after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened. Shocked, the leader looked at the twenty-meter-tall doom in the distance, only to see that it was standing still without moving at all. Puzzled, the leader paid attention to it. That was when he noticed something he hadn’t done before. As the twenty-meter-tall doom stood silently in place, its dune-like body seemed to be loosening as sand flowed down to the desert continuously. Seeing this state, a single thought entered the leader’s mind...“It’s injured!”Once this thought entered his mind, the leader was ecs
Unfazed
The twenty-meter-tall doom finally revealed itself from underneath the sand. This was the first time the leader was seeing it and it was as shocking as he expected it to be. Figure-wise, the twenty-meter-tall doom was no different from the rest of the dooms. It still had the same dull red skin color that was like rust or dried blood and it possessed the same bloated body. All of these were common features of the creatures known as dooms. Still, compared to the other dooms, there were a few differences between them, the most obvious of which was the twenty-meter height that this menace stood. Another different feature was that, unlike the other dooms that possessed a perfect physical structure, the twenty-meter-tall doom seemed more like a mass of sand packed together in a single cluster. Its body was made up entirely of grains of sand that flowed constantly. The twenty-meter-tall doom was like a giant walking dune, with no fixed physical form except for the overall structure that
First Look At The Face Of Terror
Bzzt! Bzzt!A powerful ball of lightning floated inches above Constantine’s head, giving off buzzing sounds of electricity as it hung suspended in the air. A layer of sweat covered Constantine’s face as exhaustion threatened to send him to his knees. Constantine’s arms were like lead, heavy, and it took all of his willpower to keep them upright to support the lightning ball. Hu!Resisting the urge to wipe the sweat from his eyes, Constantine stared dead ahead at the threat coming his way. The lightning ball above him had a diameter of five meters and it had taken almost all his power to condense it. Its power was naturally great, and it carried a shocking mite that was enough to scare a ten-meter-tall doom into retreating. But despite this, Constantine was clear that his lightning ball was not enough to stop the menace that was targeting him. A twenty-meter-tall doom!This should be the strongest doom that any human had ever encountered. Nothing was known about this doom. Probably
