CHAPTER 180: | LIGHT OF JUSTICE
---
The sentient crystal though it didn't have a face to show its expression could be felt or perhaps seen to smile as he said. "Impossibility didn't exist in the vast multiverse so how can I an existence that shouldn't be here possibly be here?" Alister smiled at its riddle-like answers as he chuckled and then pointed at the seraph next to it. "Huhuhu, indeed Impossibility doesn't exist, so tell me what's the purpose of your existence?"
The sentient crystal tilted its head in amusement since it didn't expect that the human in front of it to be so daring that it dares to question its existence when a god didn't even dare to so he asked. "Hmm, it's not fun to only tell mine so tell me yours instead?" Alister nodded then said. "Huhuhu, indeed it isn't fun so how about we start with your little friend, over there?"
The sentient crystal tilted its head dumbfounded at the human audacity as it chuckled. "Fuhaha, how fun... why do you keep avoiding my question little human?" Hearing its words made Alister smile wider as he said teasingly. "Huhuhu, Indeed I am avoiding it... so what's of it? Why do I need to divulge my secrets to someone lower than me?"
The sentient crystal frowned and then pointed its finger at Alister as a mana from all types of affinity coalesced at the tips of its finger, and before Alister could sense danger the sentient crystal unleashed it as a flash of light blinded the whole cavern in its riddance, and Alister too late to react chuckled as a gaping hole marred his stomach and he said coldly. "Are you provoking me?"
The sentient crystal smiled as it gathered another beam of light at the tip of its finger and said in a twisted sense of amusement. "What if I am?" Alister finding its remarks funny took a step as his form flickered in and out into the reality as the gaping hole in his stomach vanished like it wasn't even there, and in the next moment he took another step as he turned into afterimages that appeared all over the place as he took another step, then he appeared next to the sentient crystal but the seraph next to the sentient crystal stopped him from advancing further as he chuckled and then whispered in its ears. "Then good luck, surviving..."
Then without waiting for a single moment Alister struck his palm into its chest sending it crashing into its throne and then into the crystalline walls miles away cratering hundreds of meters deep into the crystals, and the seraph angered at his impudence glared at Alister as a mountainous pressure pressed against his shoulder, then in the next instance the seraph fist dug deep into his stomach causing it to explode into a shower of blood exploding behind him upon impact, but Alister was left unperturbed at this level of injury as he placed his hand on the seraph shoulder and then brought it down to the ground kneeling, then using his immense strength he crashed its shoulder with the sheer force of his grip.
"Interesting... to think that a mere fledgling would be able to injure my flesh..." then in the next second without even taking a stance Alister disrupted all of the mana pathways of the seraph... no he didn't just disrupt it but also destroyed it without even the help of [mercy] as he muttered the name of his technique coldly. "THE FIRST ZEN OF DISTORTION: IRIECE STYLE: RIPPLE OF THE VAST MULTIVERSE."
The sentient crystal seraph fell to the ground as a wave of notifications dawned upon Alister's sight but he didn't care for any of that as the sentient crystal reappeared in front of his face with its fist already connecting with his skin hundreds of times as it muttered coldly. "A pity that my toy had been killed... so take this attack human... CRYSTAL OVERGROWTH!!!"
Feeling a sense of dread creeping into his back, Alister merely smiled at how dire his situation had become, since the powerful technique that the sentient crystal was using wasn't anything to scoff at, given that its effectiveness was that of an ascension five skill.
Though it is indeed powerful, but to the sentient crystal's dismay, whose confident that its opponent would be turned into a crystal pillar just like the seraphs all across the room in a matter of seconds, to be converted into one of its kin, was shocked as Alister merely stared at his mana veins being rapidly consumed by crystals, with his left hand already turned into pure crystals.
What's even more shocking was how nonchalant the human was, the sentient crystal thought that Alister would panic and to its dismay Alister didn't even panic at the rapid invasion of crystals in his body as he whistled then chuckled like it wasn't a big deal, as he said in an amused tone, "huhuhu, is this the attack that you've been so confident about?"
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
The sentient crystal merely stared back at its foe as it tried to strike the human, but before its fist could connect to his flesh, time seemed to revert as the sentient crystal saw the nearly crystallized man before it standing nonchalant in front of it, like the crystallization process of its skill [Crystal Overgrowth] didn't happen in the slightest bit.
What was even weirder was that the scene before it was extremely familiar, like this had happened before, but before the sentient crystal could ponder at its bizarre situation, its crystalline avatar that was pummeled to the wall moved at an impressive speed that seemed to surpass light itself as it reappeared before the human, with its fist connecting to the human's body for hundreds of times as the sentient crystal then muttered coldly, "A pity that my toy had been killed... so take this attack, human... CRYSTAL OVERGROWTH!!!"
Then crystals sprouted on the human's fist as it then exploded into pieces, but the man didn't even elicit a scream nor a groan, the sentient crystal, still unaware of its situation, didn't care about the weird feeling that it was having and made its move. But before the sentient crystal could exploit the human's moment of weakness, something bizarre happened as its field of perception tilted, causing it to slip through the air then crash into the ground, creating a massive sinkhole in its impact.
And before it could recover its cool, something drastic happened as its field of vision warped like the fabric of reality twisted then folded like it was a fabric of clothing, as a tear in the fabric of reality opened and two hands wearing a gauntlet could be seen descending.
The sentient crystal, with its field of perception and vision incapacitated, didn't even get the chance to see it nor had the knowledge of it, as Alister swung his sword toward the sentient crystal and a wave of sword energy cut through the air. And before the sentient crystal could react to the threat, something searing sliced its form in half as the human said in a detached voice, "Mercy is not something I could give to the likes of you... but maybe my sword Mercy could."
Then in the next moment, the world seemed to lose its color as the sword energy that cut the sentient crystal in half exploded, and a blast blasted through the whole site as all of the seraphs frozen in crystal quivered, and the sentient crystal shattered into pieces said, "Impressive to be able to harm my form is an impossible feat to the likes of you..."
"Huhuhu, how pretentious but I like it," Alister said, his voice laced with amusement as he stared at the fog that covered the whole area, then pointed [Mercy] at the sentient crystal as he continued, "Continue to entertain me."
The sentient crystal, feeling insulted, sighed as it decreed to the seraphs, "Hahahaha, amusing... indeed you humans are an amusing bunch! Then I shall return this favor, seraphic crystals sleeping for eternity, heed my command and kill this human!!!" At the sentient crystal's words, all of the pillars sealing all of the sentient crystal's seraphs, numbering in the hundreds, exploded in a splendor of explosions as the cavern itself trembled at the impact of the explosions.
"We heed the encompassing god's command..." all of the sentient seraphic crystals said in unison as all of them opened their pupils, then leaped to the sky as they spread their wings, then flapped them as they stared at the human that their god decreed them to kill.
"Human, you shall receive the mete of heaven's!!!" The sentient crystal seraphs said in unison, their voices fierce, and unyielding, filled with righteous cause reverberated through the cavern, like they were judging a heretic that dared to oppose their holy lord's intention as all of them lifted their crystalline hands to the sky, then gathered all of the mana that the environment could muster into a titanic orb of light. But the seraphs, unsatisfied at the size of the orb, gritted their teeth as they forcefully extracted the mana in the cavern to fuel their orb of light.
The cavern, feeling the drain in its reserves, trembled at the forceful extraction of its mana as its walls groaned from the cracks spreading across the place, as the ceilings filled with crystalline stalactites trembled then split apart, as stalactites began to fall into the ground along with chunks of crystals weighing in the thousands of zen, falling into the ground creating an apocalyptic impact that spread into the cavern and sped up its destruction further.
The constellation of light that the entire cavern fueled with all of its mana, emitted a radiance so blindingly bright that it flashed the whole cavern in whiteness, then in the next moment, all of the sentient crystalline seraphs were donned in angelic armaments as all of them charged at the human with disdain visible in their expressions. But to their dismay, the human merely chuckled as he lifted his finger and the earth, or no...
The crystals buried in the ground or crystals that fell from the ceiling melded themselves into ten thousand valkyries wearing their armaments, as valkyries wielding their spears with the italics of light could be seen lining in the frontlines while valkyries wearing loose clothing, and wielding a bow stationed themselves at the back, while a single valkyrie more angelic than the rest lifted a banner then shouted with zeal, "THE FIRST ZEN OF DISTORTION: VALKYRIE STYLE: TEN THOUSAND AFTERIMAGES OF THE HEAVENLY MAIDENS."
