Courting Death System-Chapter 62: Lumen’s bet

{So, this is the Gold Realm. The Mana is very dense and pure in this place. Also, I can feel the existence of Laws around me. The Realm of Gods, not bad, not bad at all.} said Lucius.

Him, Lolitron, Anya and Yezi had just left the Apocalypse Shop Domain and appeared here. They left through the portal that led to this place.

[Boy, there’s a lot you’ve yet to see. Follow me to a place. I promise you won’t be disappointed.] said Old Yezi.

{Grandpa, didn’t we agree to directly head to the White Winged Clan before touring the Gold Realm?!}

[You’re right. Let’s finish business first before we welcome the pleasure. We go strai...]

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM!

The four were in Outer Space when it suddenly shook violently. Yes, space shook violently, creating many space cracks, lightning clouds that encompassed everything in space rumbled and released thunder bolts. Some of which were destructive enough to obliterate stars and greatly damage the planets in the Gold Realm.

Fearing for their lives, the three ran back to the Apocalypse Shop portal they came out from, only Lucius remained behind and looked at the terrifying lightning with glee. Not wasting another second, Lucius flew straight into the dark clouds that were destroying everything in their path.

’Lightning is much better than ice.’ thought Lucius as his figure disappeared into the clouds were continuously expanding like a glutinous beast devouring everything it came across.

...

This apocalyptic phenomenon was occurring everywhere on the Lumen World. Yes, this was taking place in a World that was as massive as the Omniverse, housing hundreds of millions or even billions of universes, nobody knew just how big the Lumen World was or how many universes it had.

Those who had the ability to see through the Secrets of The World tried to take a peek and immediately died by head explosions. A few more prominent figures tried the same move but in different methods and failed, and failing meant death. Soon, no one attempted to see through the lightning and just watched it destroy or damage their lands.

Some tried to destroy the clouds but were struck to death by the lightning. Some tried to capture the lightning bolts and were also struck to death by it. Anyone who tried to advocate themselves with the lightning was quickly dealt with. Not one person survived being struck by the thunder. All except one and was Zeus, the God Of Lightning.

This person who calls himself Zeus was a lowkey person who wasn’t famous even after twenty thousand years. The only person with the Lightning System and strongest lightning user. He floated inside the dark clouds in space and kept absorbing the lightning. No matter how destructive it became, when it reached Zeus, it was like a dog meeting its owner, subservient and well mannered.

As he absorbed more and more lightning, his strength rapidly increased, his hair also changed colour many times because the lightning came in different colours.

...

For anyone watching the Lumen World from outside, they would see clearly the Lumen World unfeeling a transformation. Initially, the Lumen World was shaped spherically but now, it was changing into a round diamond with different spectrums of light shining within it.

This was the process of a World underground its last indication and reaching its limit as a Peak World.

All Worlds had evolution stages and there were two most difficult stages to a World, one was the process of becoming a "World" and the second was evolving to its peak state.

The Evolution Stages after it became a World were as follows; Infant, Baby, Adolescent, Mature, Adult, Ancient, Primordial, Archaic, ■■■, ■■■ and ■■■.

An Infant World had one Law System which was the Concepts, a Baby World had two Law Systems which were Concepts and Laws. An Adolescent World had Three Law Systems, Concepts, Principles and Authorities, and so on and so forth.

The Lumen had finally reached the last evolution stage after devouring Earth which was actually the core of the universe.

...

Inside Lumen, the Lumen Race was also undergoing a transformation but it wasn’t a major transgression. All Lumen people had a Bloodline Purification and a Bloodline Upgrade. As long as you had the Lumen blood in your veins, it overpowered whatever bloodline that was suppressing or coexisting with, leaving the person pure Lumen.

Diamond scales appeared around the men’s eyes, neck and chest, arms and legs. The women became even more beautiful and had a radiant glow that just accentuated their beauty to extreme levels. If women were described as treasures then the Lumen Women took the number one spot.

Their strength also increased dramatically, those who had reached bottlenecks felt them loosen and then advanced to the next rank, both Knights and Mages experienced the same thing. Apart from that, the Mana of every world increased tenfold and the happiest of them when this happened were plants and trees.

They grew rapidly, occupying even more space. In a blink of an eye, many planets had turned green because of plants and trees growing everywhere without stopping.

...

"So, someone else finally joins our ranks. Lumen, welcome to the peak." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Thank you."

"Lumen, have you really reached your final evolution stage? I am so jealous of you."

"Don’t be. I was lucky enough to come across a World that had yet to use its energy and I used it for myself."

"Lumen, I was supposed to be the next one to join the ranks of the strongest Worlds and you beat me to it."

"Anyways, Lumen, there’s plenty of Anomalies among your children. What are you going to do about it?"

"Don’t worry, I already have a plan in mind and I’m going to implement it very soon."

"Lumen, unlike Qi, I’m gonna be frank with you. Give me the Anomaly with the Darkness Affinity and in exchange, I’ll tell you how to create a Champion."

"Aby, that’s not fair. Lumen, trade Dragon Anomaly with me and I’ll give you ten ●●● dragons."

"Don’t listen to Draco, I’ll give you a hundred ●●● demons in exchange for a hundred of those weak Anomalies, even the weakest will do."

"Everyone, I’m not trading the Anomalies, I would have said so at the beginning if I wanted to. I got these children from the World I devoured and promised to treat them as my own. To be honest, I’m quite impressed with how "She" created her race. The potential they have is unlike anything I’ve seen before. And let’s not talk about their ability to adapt. Just how did she come up with such a blueprint for her race."

"Lumen, my offer still stands. No matter how long it takes, the offer will be always open to you."

"Thank you, Aby, that means a lot to me. Since y’all are so sincere with trading, I shall give you all a chance. I’ll open numerous portals and you send ten of your best warriors to steal my children away. As long as you can steal them, I don’t care how many you take."

"Really?! You’re not pranking us right?"

"Reficul, since when was I someone who plays pranks on others. I stand true to my word but to make things more interesting. I’ll also send my best warriors to steal yours, how does that sound?"

"I don’t have a problem with that, I just want to make sure of something. If I obtain the Tremor Elephants, Fire Mane Lion King. Calamity Shrimp, Immortal Jellyfish, Sabertooth tiger and the Frost Polar Bear, you won’t say nothing?"

"Yes. Guys, I don’t want to repeat myself, whatever you manage to steal, it’s yours and I won’t hold it against you. All I’ll say is don’t bite off more than you can chew. All the Anomalies are drawn closer to the Chaos side so be careful when handling them or you might just regret it."

"Thank you for the advice. If you don’t mind, I have Anomalies to steal so I’m out."

"Me too. Lumen, you’ll definitely regret your decision."

"I hope so."

"Lumen, just what game are you playing, what are your true intentions?"

"Qi, what do you mean?"

"You’ve only just reached the peak level and you’re already making deals with the others, what are you planning to achieve by going this far?"

"Qi, I’ve just reached the peak level. Can’t I have a little fun, hehe. And if something does happen, I’ve already warned you about the danger but opportunity and danger go hand in hand. That’s why I was able to devour that World under your noses, I took a gamble and won, that’s how everything works. I don’t fear those who always succeed but those who always fail... because in every failure, there’s always something new to be learned and learning leads to improvement and improvements leads to success."

"Hahaha! Good. Good. Good. I’ll take you up on that challenge. Let’s see who really is the danger, the one who succeeds by failing or the one who always excels, leaving no room for failure."

"I bet a thousand Anomalies that you’ll lose dismally."

"Right back at you."
