Courting Death System-Chapter 65: Blessings

After Lucius had finished the outline of his Farm, he took a small break to catch his breath. He was really going all out to create the strongest God Farm which would help him escape this prison. As he contemplated his next step, something inside slowly awoke and Lucius allowed it to.

In fact, he fuelled it with everything he had. His white eyes and hair turned even more white, his Eclipse tattoos began to move and actually played out how eclipses occur. He then stomped hard on the transparent floor, releasing different kinds lightning bolts and also ripples that spread far and wide.

{FUUUCK!!!}

Although Lucius had a Cold Temperament, he also had a Hot Temper which when mixed with his Explosive Emotions trait, took Lucius’s anger to extreme levels. He hadn’t shown it in front of Lumen but he was more than dissatisfied with his current condition, he was fuming. Just the thought of it made him angrier and he released more lightning bolts.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire space inside the bubble was filled with lightning bolts that obscured outside view. After that, his palm opened up and blood poured onto the floor. In the Debris Domain, he’d learned to control the Cutting trait of his blood, that’s why when the spiderman killed him at the restaurant, no furniture was damaged.

But now, the Cutting trait was fully unleashed, Lucius forced out all the blood in his body but it didn’t do anything to the floor since it wasn’t sometimes physical but intangible. The ripples were just an effect that Lumen had added to give an impression that they were walking on solid hrough instead of space.

When all the blood in his body was drained, Lucius created more of it and drained it from his body. He repeated this proceess again and again and when he was out of energy, he’d commit suicide and when he revived, his energy would be replenished.

This was also something he learned in the Debris Domain after committing suicide from depression. When he commits suicide, he doesn’t obtain anything and nothing about him changes except replenished energy. He committed suicide once when he was extremely hunger but didn’t get anything and his hunger didn’t go away but when he went insane from hunger to the point of devouring himself, he obtained the Starvation Aura.

It was a shocking discovery that he’d made about his "System" and wondered just where its limits lay. It could differentiate when he was committing suicide and when something was influencing his mind.

When the dark clouds had suddenly appended out of nowhere in space, he had a hunch that if the lightning killed him then he’d obtain it. He entered then clouds to prove his theory if it was correct or not bad it was indeed correct. He’d retained his Moon Clan appearances and bloodline but his Law had changed from Ice to Lightning.

This was another discovery that he made. Anything without a level couldn’t double his strength or overwrite his physical condition, hence he didn’t lose the bloodlines nor the appearance. He changed Laws simply because the lightning was made from Laws so he could change that and make it twice as strong.

In order to have the Lightning Law long term, he had to comprehend and understand it from the very beginning like he did with his Poison Law. Meaning, he had to start understanding the Lightning Law from its Concept all the way to its current level. That’s how he could use the Poison Law, his understanding of it was so great that he could bring it to its peak state with just a thought.

Lucius had about s hundred litres of blood scattered on floor but it couldn’t cut though the bubble like he’d expected, afterall, the sharpness of his blood had never disappointed him, not even once. Seeing that his plan wasn’t working, Lucius stopped removing blood from his body. Sat down on his throne and snapped his fingers.

The blood then floated in the air, Lucius snapped his hands again and the blood compressed itself until it was no bigger than the size of a chicken egg but the potency of its sharpness went through the roof. Physically, he couldn’t hold this blood ball and could only do with his mind.

He placed it on the floor and it caused the ground to vibrate and constantly release ripples but nothing worth mentioning. At the failure of his plan, Lucius released more lightning bolts, further obscuring his actions from anyone spying on him from outside.

’I need a blueprint on the Space Element but with my low talent, it’s primarily gonna take forever to understand it. The key to my escape lies within these Matter Bubbles. No matter how long it takes, I’m gonna escape this place without giving you what you want. I, Lucius Lothra, am not one who takes kindly to threats and blackmail, the carrot stick methods won’t work on me.’

...

[Lady Lumen, I’ve already met your criteria, here are nine True Deities (Royal Knight/Grand Mage) that l created. Please test them out.]

"Are you sure that this is your Deity Army and are you confident that they will win?" asked Lumen who steadily appeared from nowhere.

[Yes, although it seems like I made them on a whim, I actually really thought hard about how I should make them. Please test them out and we’ll see if I was wrong or not.]

"Fine then, it just so happens that there’s someone who has also just finished creating their Deity Army. Come with me." said Lumen and their surroundings changed. Now, they were in an empty bubble with a chess board just floating there. The chess board then broke apart and nine square boards floated too.

"There’ll be nine matches taking place at the same time and the one with five victories will automatically be the winner. Place your Deities in the arena and let the battles begin!"

The person who had called out to Lumen took out his nine humanoid Deities, their appearance were all the same. Faceless, no private parts, thin waists, exposed ribs, very tall and smoke-like hair that fluttered slowly with their movement’s. They looked eerily similar to ghosts and very scary looking.

While on the other hand, his opponent took out his Deities and each one exuded overwhelming power. They had lava hair, burning eyes and ash black skin with orange cracks all over acting like veins. Their upper body was that of humans but a crab’s lower body with pincers of extreme temperatures.

"Begin!"

...

{Lumen, you forced me to do this so whatever happens in the future, don’t put the blame on me.} said Lucius while sitting on his throne. He’d calmed down a lot after venting his frustrations and had a thought deeply about his next move.

The universes with the themes of Magic, Invasion, Towers, Dungeons and Labyrinths all floated around him.

{In you, I want power hungry warriors, I bless you with a single path that doesn’t have distractions. I want your children to be insatiable, never having enough and always seeking for more. My gift to you... Starvation Aura!} said Lucius while blowing air at all these universes.

These universes then flew away and all the Cultivation theme universes floated around Lucius.

{The path of cultivation is long and arduous and from you, I want reality benders, world conquerors and limit breakers. I bless you with... Unbreakable Will, Despair Aura, Cold Temperament and Soul Piercing Gaze.}

The Cultivation universes flew away and the Apocalypse universes approached and floated around Lucius, waiting for their blessings.

{In you, only Death shall rule these lands. Where there’s Life, so too shall Death. I bless you with... Toxins, Acids, Poisons and Despair. The greatest killing machines shall come from you, don’t disappoint me. That’s it for now.}

Lucius gave his last blessings and waved his hand, all the Matter Bubbles disappeared from sight. He closed his eyes and kept hitting the throne with his index finger.

’Live long enough to see yourself become a villain huh? Never thought I’d see the day.’ thought Lucius to himself.

...

"Chief! Chief! Congratulations, you’ve successfully sired an heir! It’s a healthy baby boy!"

[Finally, the ancestors have blessed me with a son! Hahaha, this is a day worth celebrating! Quickly, prepare a banquet, the whole village is invited! Make sure everyone attends!]

"As you wish."

[If you understand then why are you still here? Wasn’t I clear enough?!]

"Chief, there’s something about the heir I’ve yet to report..."

[What’s happened to my son? Quickly say it!]

"You see... he isn’t a normal baby. After he was born, he didn’t cry and the wet mother had to inflict a little pain on him in order to cry. He didn’t start crying but after a short while, he looked at the wet mother with hungry eyes. The wet mother thought that he wanted some milk and gave him to the priestess and he started breastfeeding."

[So what’s the problem?] 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Well, after sucking enough milk, he looked at the wet mother dead in the eyes and actually spoke..."

[He spoke, hahaha! What did he say?]

"He said and I qu-quote... I want your strength, give it to me, woman."

[WHAT?!]
