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

Chapter 4: The 7 manifestation

"I should have known better" with a stern expression I spoke.

After I stiffened my muscles I added "After all, it's the primal origin manifestation"

After spreading my legs.

"Light source within comprehension" I shouted.

My hands palm pressed against each others as my arms raised to my chest level.

Fragments of light was formed as condensed light sparks merged together.

Then before the pillar could travel 2/5 the distance seperating it from me, a figure stoped it.

Formed from the combination of light fragments condensed by the spark of light produced by my crushed great light soul.

...

Yes, this figure, which yet again stopped the pillar, was still my very same great light soul, reformed from its very own light sparks.

Though smaller but more condensed. As the light power which emanated from it in a disorderly way was now canalised.

With both hands, my great light soul pressed the pillar forward, but with overwhelming momentum, the pillar exerted more pressure on my great light soul as it expanded even more.

Yet my great light soul didn't shiver nor stumble, nor was it pushed back.

It remained strong and firm as it pushed this pillar of damnation.

Then without realising it, I was pierced through.

"Cough, what happened, cough, my vision _ is blurring"

My head spun and my body trembled. It felt like it broke apart.

"I didn't see this coming", I exclaimed while I tried to peek at the pillar, though I could not see it clearly.

Greatly wounded, after being pierced by the energy beam, I fell to my knees.

The blood that came out of my mouth poured out on both of my hands as the lay down on the ground.

"This imprint, it could release such potent power."

The stroke I received, the one which pierced me, came from the imprint engraved on the pillar.

Even though my great light soul still stood firmly, but I knew it could break at any given moment.

So I could not just remain as I was, I needed to do something.

As the imminent danger alerted my cells

Then _

Manifested from within me a spiritual life form with immense spiritual power as I rose up to stand on my feet.

With a size of a human, this spiritual life form completely manifested.

Transformed me completely into a spiritual being, as if I was Naruto. Healing me at the same time.

"Ha ha ha, a new again", maniacally, I laughed as I shouted with great joy and anticipation, my eyes casting an intense gaze at the pillar.

Fragments of my great light soul disentegreted as it felt apart, yet he still stood strong like his dady.

If it was not out of character, I could have really cried out. And the only thing I could do was to harness the power of my spiritual life form.

This spiritual life form materialised out of me as it grew in size the more I harness its power.

"Boom" A loud noise resounded.

That which was powerful enough to shake the whole world again and again.

Forced my head. As I looked up

"The 5th Imprint, oh yes, this feeling"

Even in this state, my fear, which had long since turned into great joy, made me even more excited.

Exciting like someone anticipating a long-awaited honey mood with his true lover.

Already 2/5 the size of my world, this new pillar with the imprint 5 on it disentegreted my great light soul like rain piecing through air.

But before it could take the next step, it was pushed, like a balloon will be pushed by an air force 1000 miles away, as I shouted "life spirit of light form incarnation, << dominate >>."

This was the power of my divine spirit being manifestation.

The power it was capable of exerting.

Being a spirit life form with overwhelming spiritual power, it was indeed normal for it to be at the divine level.

"Ouf, for the 5th imprint to have forced me up to this extent _ 

To think I would have to use divine-level power," I confidently spoke, praising my powers.

After all, I still stood as if nothing had happened.

Sure of my victorious battle, which didn't only bring me joy but also taught me what fear was, even though it had no effect on me, I looked through a figure much bigger in size than my great light soul.

It's first manifestation.

At this pillar, as it whole structure broke apart.

My reaction stupefied me at my own power.

"What is it? Am I seeing right?"

At the front of the shattered pillar, the imprint with the number 5 was nowhere to be seen.

"When did this happen?" With a little disappointment, I exclaimed.

One thing was certain, my realm of power had increased.

...

Even though I didn't know how far the power of this pillar could reach, I knew more than anyone else that with just my power alone, I could never have pushed this pillar to this extent.

To the extent that it would release its 7 manifestations.

Yes, there was still an imprint on this pillar, and rather than the 5th Imprint, it was the 7th.

But nothing happened during those laps of time, I almost crushed the pillar.

But then as I was shrouded in my thought I realised something was off

It was now more than 30 minutes since the pillar shattered into parts, yet the ground was only covered by ordinary broken landscape.

Nothing emanated from it, whether life or energy.

"Where have the fragments of this pillar gone?" I asked as I searched all around my divine spirit being still manifested.

But nothing could be found.

Then to be assured of what I thought, that it had evaporated. I raised my head as I was sitting on the ground, relaxing.

Through this same figure, I looked at the shattered pillar.

It seems that the space around it had stopped. The pillar was shattered, its parts were falling apart, yet it remained fixed in the air.

"Ho ho, this is really a honey mood." 

With a surge in spiritual power, my divine spirit grew in size.

As it expanded I stood on my feet, my right arm lifted toward the sky.

"I will grab it with my realm of grab," I whispered.

Then a thought traversed my head, what if I used the realm manifestation life within the world?

In anticipation, as my divine spirit shrouded the pillar, ultraviolet light pierced through it.

From nowhere, darkness once again coated my world, but this darkness only overshadowed my world in a split second before being overwhelmed by my divine spirit.

Then _ 

From afar, this stagnant yet shattered pillar completely transformed, dived toward me.

The pressure coming from it almost shattered my world.

"What the hell is this again"

Yes, it wasn't the usual pillar I confronted.

Even Sun Wukong's golden rod could not be compared to his son. "Are you my father?"

With no more imprint on its front, its whole structure was covered in ancient text, something that wasn't on it to begin with.

"Hand grab, realm of life within world", I shouted impatiently, but nothing happened.

Worse.

My divine spirit shattered. This wasn't even the real primal origin manifestation.

"Just a copy and you think you're worth facing me, the only great Ngwan le Tou."

With an arrogant tone second to none, I shouted.

As I stood strong and firm, unaffected by this thing called fear, even after going through it.

"Let me show you who is the god here," I spoke confidently with an arrogant smirk as if everything belonged to me.

With confidence not from hope nor the belief in some Almighty god. But that which comes from a unique power.

A force envied by all 

A force unattainable even after years of training.

Yet it could be used by me, and that without even making the slightest effort.

This power I nearly never used, the name was even unknown to me.

"Zoom it all _ water fall of life."

My left leg moved a step as I took my stance, pulling my right arm backwards with clenched fist.

Everything seems tinny in front of my eyes.

Tinny enough to be crushed from just a touch.

A touch from my finger to completely vaporised it.

"Separation" echoed the word that came out of my mouth.

As my fist struck this pillar of damnation, the surrounding air for a split second became breathless.

Before my world, once in its original form. Yet transformed under the influence of our power.

Now back to its original form.

Amidst all that, I stood at the very same position, as if nothing had happened.

The pillar of damnation nowhere to be seen, and I myself on my end of the rope.

Though a copy I still defeated it. Proving my superiority.

After a while.

Mei Li and his accomplice approached me

"Ngwan Le... " Shocked, he paused after he called out my name.

"What is it, Mei Li? Your next on the line, you know." I reminded him as I spoke angrily as ever.

My people, pardon his accomplice, were wordless. They knew what would happen to them, more so what could happen to anyone who would utter a word.

"Why Ngwan Le, why won't you just die?"

In a desperate state, Mei Li went crazy, yelling again and again.

On the ground he felt with both of his hands on his head.
