The Villain's Creed: Neither True Hero Nor Last Boss

Chapter 3: The divine treasure power

With a deliberate motion, Roderick pulls something with an otherworldly glow out of a dimensional space.

Some of the people looking at Mei Li, who was standing beside Roderick while protesting, recognised what Roderick held in his hands.

Gasps erupted from the onlookers

"Look at what Roderick is holding in his hand, isn't that our world fortune source?" Exclaimed someone with a confounded look.

"Yes, that is it, but why is it in his hand in the first place?" Another person mused.

Whisper filled the air

Something was up, Roderick was holding our world fortune source and the people looking at it noticed it and questioned themselves

"Wasn't Roderick the one who told us that Ngwan Le sized the world source for his own benefits? Didn't he claim that the world source was the wellspring of Ngwan Le's formidable power?" A woman's voice pierced through the chatter.

"Yes, he even recounted his encounter with Ngwan Le, insisting the world source was stolen and that the whole situation was merely a cover-up." Chimed another individual.

A gasp of realisation swept through the crowd.

"So the real culprit behind the case of the stolen world source was Roderick." A shocked voice broke through the crowd.

More voices rose in unison, and the atmosphere thickened with tension.

"When we think he was the one who came up with the theory about the world source having the ability to make his holder invisible, saying the power of Ngwan Le came from it."

They kept speaking, but I wasn't concerned at all. After all, my power growth is not limited by the world where I am.

I held my chin as I shook my head "Interesting, what a big secret, and to think none of your allied forces knew all of that."

I spoke as if I knew what they did.

His allies protested but he didn't mind it at all, and Andey continued, "Now that we remember Roderick was born a cripple." 

"He was born a cripple indeed. I was his neighbour by that." Replied a someone who claimed to have been Rodrick's neighbour.

....

During this scandalous revelation, everybody came to know of the big truth hiding behind these ongoing conflicts but it was already too late, they were already part of this conflict

It was a betrayal.

They all quickly stop yapping upon realising they too were all implicated in it, knowing exactly what will happen to them based on their understanding of me.

Roderick pulls out the world fortune source and gives it to Mei Li, who sacrifices it to increase their chance of summoning the power that will kill me.

The divine treasure absorbs the fortune of the world source and activated

With a confounded look, I ask. "What is happening here?"

The whole world changed in colour the moment the divine treasure activated, it was a mixture of different colours painted in an ordered way.

Then a strange form of power never seen before started gathering all around the divine treasure and as it gathered, the moment it came in direct contact with it, a shock wave was produced, sweeping everybody 1000 miles away, knocking them unconscious.

Then a destructive power emerged out of the divine treasure destroying everything within a radius of 100 miles.

Everybody who was knocked out by the shock produced by the wave was sent flying 1000 miles away before the emergence of the destructive power, which completely destroyed the area where they were standing, but I was still standing in the same place.

Neither could the powerful shock wave make me budge even an inch, nor could the destructive power produced by the divine treasure leave a scratch on my body.

I put my right hand on my face

I shake my head

"Why didn't this destructive power come out first? It would have made my work easier, but now I will have to go search for them one by one and kill them all after crushing this move of theirs."

The destructive power didn't reach the area where those people were sent.

It's really unfortunate for me, these twisted people are still alive.

I look at the divine treasure as the destructive power which came out of it dissipated.

Then the treasure shattered

My eyes widened

"Ah, was it all, to think they went up to sacrificing our world fortune source for this?" I whispered lips pursed with a monotone expression.

...

Each world fortune source has a different shape, and ours had a spherical shape, and the power emanating from it was of a purple colour.

I turn intending to hunt those twisted bastards who betrayed me. But moment I moved my left leg, I fell an overwhelming aura. "This aura, it's familiar."

I felt threatened, so I stopped and didn't move any more.

What is going on I ask myself.

"Was there another enemy hiding in the shadows? An a formidable one."

While deep in thought, an enormous amount of energy came out from the shattered fragment of the divine treasure and poured into heaven.

Now I was certain it wasn't someone's presence I felt, but the fluctuation coming from the divine treasure due to the massive amount of energy that came out from it.

"What surprised is this thing reserving me?"

I turn and look at the beautiful scene produced by the upward energy power coming from the divine treasure.

As the weather changed and the whole world turned black, I saw a figure from afar.

"What is it?"

It was a pillar.

The sky cleared out, and a pillar descended from it with the mark 1 imprinted in front of it.

As I looked at it as it approached, I felt the aura coming from it.

It was different from the one I felt before the emergence of a massive amount of energy from the shattered divine treasure. Still, this aura was familiar, and it seemed I knew what it was.

As I look more intensely "Don't tell me, is it really what I think…" I whispered with a frozen expression.

The pillar number imprint radiated with ultraviolet light shining brightly.

At a glance, I knew what this was.

My body started trembling as I was about to shout out its name. "The primal origin manifestation"

Sweating nervously, my lips shivered as I clenched my teeth

"What is this thing I am feeling, it's coming from within me."

"Is this what they call fear?"

"So this is what my enemies felt when they were at my mercy."

"Ha ha ha" maniacally I laughed full of joy ", I like it … do you hear, Mei Li, I love your gift, this is what I have been waiting for so long."

"Consider your transgression forgiven."

For the first time in my life, I felt fear. But still I was excited, for me, this was a real opponent; in fact, it was the adversary of my desired dream.

My impression of Mei Li changed, I now saw him in a new light; as a real man.

While I was enjoying myself in laughter, the pillar pierced through my world's protective layer and entered.

...

"Oh my, it's no joke it has already entered my world and is diving towards me _ It seems there is no room for me to slack off any more."

I used my divine power of light

"Great light soul, materialise."

"Swoosh"

A translucent giant body of human form, full of divine light power, materialised and expanded far in the sky.

As it expanded, I raised my left hand, my palm open.

At the same time the great light soul also lifted up his left hand towards the pillar.

The pillar is diving towards me at the same time my great light soul is expanding.

"Boom"

They came in contact, and I felt the pressure on my left hand, and I then I shouted

"Hand grip (realm of touch)."

As I used my hand grip realm power an invisible red line came out and surrounded the pillar like a net.

A coalition occured, caused by the power of the interaction between the two opposing powers.

This tore apart the space in my world, and fragment of it fell.

The coalition kept going on.

...

This pillar was twice as big as my great soul light hand palm. But the more the coalition kept going the more it grew in size and power.

I felt great joy

My body was trembling

"More, more, I need more."

The pillar power became overwhelming, and my hand grip realm of touch was breaking. Then I felt a surge of power coming from within; it was the power of light integration.

The power of light integration activated automatically and flowed all over me. "Let me release it"

"Light integration release" The great light soul wich became coated with the power of light integration pushed the pillar away.

...

 Ngwan Le, who knew the power of the primal origin manifestation, had never seen it.

This pillar has a chain attached to its back whose length is limitless.

This chain attached to his back brought another pillar that merged with it and formed a new pillar. And after merging, the number in front of the previous pillar changed from 1 to 2.

This newly formed pillar with the imprint 2 pushed back the hand palm of the great light soul to a 90-degree angle, crushing it completely with its body, and continued moving toward me with speed.
