Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster

Chapter 688: Rael, The Platinum Ancient Primordial Hunter

<Ding!>

<Ding!>

<+0.39% Law of Infinity Mastery!>

Rael was stunned.

A Grade 10 being had died just like that.

A being who Rael could’ve never even come face to face with had it been a couple of weeks ago.

And now… Rael not only killed him, but absorbed some of his Laws, converting them into Law of Infinity mastery.

It was hard not to show his excitement.

Because he sure as shit was extremely excited right now.

“Holy shit… Anna, did you see that?” Rael said, nearly yelping like a little girl. “What even happened? I swear when I used all those Laws together like that, they just kind of get blocked, no?”

“Well… I’m not too sure myself,” Anna admitted. “But I believe Gaia would know. Right, Gaia?”

[Of course.]

Gaia took a deep breath, then continued:

[Simply put, you had been channeling your Laws in their rawest form without an actual set form to contain them. They lose the majority of their power that way. But now that you’ve gotten the Heavenly Slash, you may concentrate them, and even enhance them accordingly.]

“Oho…” Rael smiled. “What about the attack, then? I saw some flames spew out, and then just vanish.”

[That… Since your races focus on mind domination and destruction, the Heavenly Slash took the form of millions of miniature black holes,] Gaia said, her voice falling lower.

[Basically, the moment Chunma was hit by the black hole, it unfurled, and maximized his mental capacity, making it so he couldn’t stop thinking. Ideas would sprout, and they would branch out endlessly. Now… Imagine enhancing such a deadly revelation by trillions of times…]

She let out a sigh.

[In short, you overloaded billions of eons of memories into a single second, thus frying Chunma’s brain and rendering him a cripple. That’s when the black holes would then suck out Chunma’s memories and kill him instantly.]

At first, Rael thought of it as an exciting joke.

But now that he heard how his attack really worked… he was kind of intimidated.

He had never expected that something so terrifying would happen.

Overloading someone with so much knowledge that their brains burst.

“Jeez…”

“I hope I don’t accidentally hit myself one of these days.”

[In contrast, I hope you don’t either,] Gaia chimed in with a chuckle.

Nonetheless, since that was over and done with, Rael was prepared to move on.

But that was when he remembered something.

Chunma’s body was purely intact.

Which meant he would make a perfect construct.

Rael smiled and focused on Chunma’s body, prepared to turn him into a construct.

However…

<Ding!>

“Hmm…”

Rael wanted to do it right away, but he felt like this might take some time.

And he didn’t have that much time currently.

So instead, he walked over to Chunma, and after placing his hand on Chunma’s forehead, Rael stored him inside his inventory.

The sword was also pretty nice, so Rael didn’t hesitate to plop that into his inventory too.

When he was done, Rael was prepared to continue heading forward.

But that was when Anna suddenly grabbed his sleeve, stopping him.

Rael turned to her, confused.

“Yes?”

Anna lowered her gaze slightly.

“Thank you for pushing me out of the way.”

Surprised, Rael let out a chuckle.

“That’s the first time I’ve heard you thank me. Don’t mention it.”

It really did seem like Anna had gone through a drastic change.

And Rael was all up for it.

However, after seeing what happened just now to Chunma, Rael was a little confused about his own motives.

Why exactly should he run anymore?

If he could kill them this easily, then what’s the point in actively avoiding them when he could just go up to them, steal their most powerful skills, and then absorb their Law masteries, further increasing his own power.

Honestly…

“Anna, you mentioned seeing some more Ancient Primordials around here. Could you tell me where you saw them?”

“Do you want to kill them?” Anna asked.

Rael nodded right away.

Seeing that, Anna let out a sigh.

“Truth be told, I was joking at that time too.”

She was… what?

“I didn’t see anyone, but because I heard Gaia talking about being cool, I thought if I told you I knew where all our enemies were, you’d think I was cooler.”

Wow…

“That’s perhaps the most innocent thing I’ve heard this week.”

But since she really didn’t know where they were, Rael could rest a little bit easier.

“In that case, let’s continue going forward. If you spot anyone before me, let me know. We’ll go down and kill them before continuing ahead.”

Hearing that, Anna gave him a nod of affirmation.

And after that, the two of them simply began to travel atop the tree root.

Rael was focused on the branch that was presumably coming from Yggdrasil.

Gaia, should I head over to that branch? he asked.

[No need. Just keep following the tree root,] Gaia replied. [The branch would lead you into the noble quarters, you could say. They are closed off from the rest of Yggdrasil, so you won’t be able to directly enter Yggdrasil instead.]

Hmm…

What if I just scale Yggdrasil? You know, climb to the very top?

[Your lack of understanding is oddly cute at times…] Gaia giggled. [Yggdrasil is as big as thousands of galaxies stacked on top of one another. Time moves differently outside of it, and since the whole tree is covered in the Law of Space, your speed of light would be deemed irrelevant.]

[Simply put, it would take you a few million years to even reach 1/100th of the way there. That’s why it’s crucial to enter through the inside.]

“…”

Well shit.

Merry christmas 🙂
