Chapter 36: Chapter 36. Revenge of the hobgoblins 1"In a case where let’s say someone has an ascendant level talent and hails from an S ranked home planet, does that mean they cannot attain the ascendant level" [ Yes, since their planet only has worldly natural energy that can sponsor growth up to the S rank, their ascendant level talent will be worthless.] " I see" Nodding in understanding ,Kailen sighed heavily . He was digesting everything he had learnt. His entire worldview had been shattered. He felt like an ant ,completely powerless,his confidence in being strong, shattered. " Heh, as they say , a frog at the bottom of a well whatever, ah forget it. Can’t remember the idiom. In the vast cosmos , the current me is literally a bug than can be crushed by literally being step on" [ It’s good you’ve been humbled. Just focus on becoming stronger. In the vast universe ,strength matters more than anything. You of all people would get that,as you are well aware from your past that,such a principle even applies on this planet of yours] " Mm" Kailen nodded " Lets just focus on becoming stronger. If I can get to the ascendant level, along with my shadow creatures , then those diabolic beasts won’t stand a chance. Im completely confident that just as you miraculously changed my talent to S rank, getting it to the ascendant level is not gonna be a problem" [ Tsk,do not look down on me. I can get your talent to as high as the Universe level. Like I said,with me in the picture, logic does not apply to you .Also stop thinking too much about my origin. Just focus on becoming stronger ,at the appropriate time, I’ll reveal more to you] Kailen nodded,sighing deeply. His resolve burnt ,his gaze calm and focused. His imagination churned, as he pictured himself terrorising the diabolic beasts of the continents of earth with a vast army of shadow creatures . " I’ll start with the Coiling Terror,that bastard" He mused further, a determined demeanor evident in his eyes " My goal for becoming stronger had always been to have enough strength to terrorise those diabolic beasts for what they did to my parents. However,I can’t help but also feel powerless ,thinking about the power systems of the universe. If I slack off, my past of bullying,ridicule and abuse will repeat itself when I finally start to travel the universe after venting on those diabolic beasts ,having reached the ascendant level. I need to stand at peak of the cosmos, so that I can control my own fate. It’s really absurd how S ranked awakened on earth think they are overlords,when in the vast cosmos,they are merely ants" Kailen sighed, his gaze lingering on the Hobgoblin he had defeated, then on the space ring. " Do I just have to wear it like any other ring ?" He probed. [ What an idiot. Your blood, drop your blood on it.Tsk!] Kailen sighed, why was this time dilationa artifact always mean to him?, anyway he did as the time dilation artifact directed ,then put on the ring, as it assumed a transparent lustre,it’s visibility fading as though it didn’t exist. " Interesting" A large space akin to an extremely gigantic hall whose ceiling was indiscernable, with a ridiculous length boasting several infinite kilometers appeared in his mind . [ That’s the storage space in the spacial ring] " How can it be so large ?. Forget it, everything related to this time dilation artifact defies logic" He mused . [ You just have to will the dead hobgoblin to enter the storage space in the ring ] Kailen nodded,then followed the direction. The large hobgoblin dissapeared from the forest floor, finally landing in the storage space of the ring. " Helpful. At least I can now store the creatures I kill even when I don’t have enough slots for creating Shadow Creatures for later. How do I spend my remaining time in the pocket world How long do I have left till the days is up errm system?" [ You have roughly 9 days and 17 hours left] " Alright. before I put myself at risk to further explore the pocket world, in case I die in the pocket world, will it actually be real?" [ You’ll respawn at the spot where you died. However ,every sensation of death will be incredibly realistic. For instance ,in case the circumstance of your death were to be that being roasted alive, you’ll feel every sensation of being roasted alive. However that won’t change the fact that you’ll respawn] Kailen felt a chill run down his spine. "Of all the examples you had to use..being roasted alive ,this.. At least I’ll respawn. Alright, time to continue exploring " Ding [ New mission recieved- The Hobgoblin village has noticed the murder of their chief. They are causing havoc to the forest with maddened rage. Your mission is to find them and kill them in the next 1 hour before they harm innocent creatures not involved in the death of their chief. Of course everything you just read is just an excuse I’m making up for you to find them and kill them. Who cares about what happens to any creature in this forest. You could burn it to the ground if you have the means for all I care. Ahem,anyway,find them and kill them. Reward for completion-Lightning affinity Punishment for failure- I won’t tell you, however you can try failing if you want to try my patience. Tsk!] Kailen stared at the mission panel in shock,ignoring the dramatic nature of the time dilation artifact,focused on only one part. Lightning affinity?. He was gonna get another affinity?and it was the powerful lightning affinity? " I thought I will only have the shadow affinity, turns out I was completely wrong. This time dilation artifact is really unpredictable . Alright,lets finish this mission as soon as possible. Plus,I get to keep a couple of dead diabolic beasts I can use for creating Shadow Creatures in the end" Kailen’s obsidian figure blurred,navigating through the forest. He utilized the 7 phantoms movement techniques to move at a quick pace,traversing extremely large distances in a few seconds . **** A 100 ginormous creatures ,each about 5 meters in height suddenly rose to their feet from a swamp. Massive growls resounded throughout the forest,associated with heavy,thumping sounds . They traversed through the swamp with unhindered movements,having sensed the connection to the village chief suddenly cut off. This was a sign that he had died . Whoever had dared to kill him,had to pay the price. The 100 hobgoblins moved like a swarm , causing lower ranked diabolic beasts to scurry away in fear upon siting them. The unlucky ones were literally crushed beneath their ginormous feets,scurrying through the door to the afterlife. Their massive clubs swung through tree stems with maddened ferocity,causing the flora to weep at their babarity. They had to find the bastard that had dared to commit the taboo of murdering their chief.
