Courting Death System-Chapter 76: Experiment

Lucius didn’t know how long he had been sleeping but it felt long but also short, giving Lucius a novel feeling. After waking up, he digested all the information he’d obtain for reaching his current level.

First off, above the God Rank was the True God Rank and after that came the God King Rank, all powerhouses in Worlds had reached this level and none had surpassed it. As for outside the Worlds, Lucius didn’t know. Above that was the God Emperor Rank which Lucius was currently in.

To reach the True God Rank, one must comprehend and integrate their Law which transforms into their Divinity. With Divinity, a True God can do many things like Shapeshifting, Size Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Reality Manipulation, Space-Time Manipulation and many more. Of course these godly powers have their limitations. The higher the rank, the lesser the limitations on what they want to do.

Lucius released his Divine Sense which covered an utterly terrifying distance of approximately 1 petaparsec which was equivalent to 3.5 quadrillion light years. Covering such a distance, he gazed upon the beauty of the Infinite Space, countless stars, planets, solar systems, gases, nebula, galaxies and Small Worlds were all visible visible to him, Medium and Peak Worlds were too massive for him to cover with Divine Sense.

|How beautiful...|

What he also discovered was that the Worlds were constantly growing larger so he probed numerous Small Worlds to uncover the secrets of constant growth.

|This..! This..! How can it be?!| Lucius was shocked by what he saw, shocked by the discovery he made. For every Deity that died, the Small World would use that energy to grow larger and also strengthen its Laws depending on the Law the deceased was using.

In simple terms, Small Worlds used their nurtured Deities as fertiliser to strengthen himself once they were dead. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

|I expected as much. I always wondered why there were always wars being waged, shortage of resources and limited space. It was for the inhabitants to kill each other and unknowingly strengthen and grow a World.|Lucius quickly recovered from his shock and began to experiment. He first thought about his Moon Clan appearance and the next thing, his appearances had changed.

Then he opened his palm grabbed at the Space covered by his Divine Sense and pulled it. That Space was torn and Lucius used it as a caped cloak. Immediately after that Space was torn, new Space replaced it instantly like the torn Space was of no significance, same as how the ocean isn’t affected by the water and fish scooped or swallowed by animals that inhabit it, that water and fish are replenished in a blink of an eye.

The replaced Space was completely dark and empty of stars, planets, galaxies, Small Worlds and all the components that decorate space, Lucius had just created a Void Space just to create a caped cloak.

The caped cloak was very beautiful with the decorations it had and it gave him an air of a true Godly Being.

|What else can I do?|thought Lucius. Now that he had godly powers, everything he thought of doing as a mortal seemed to disappear from his mind now that he was all powerful.

|Since I’m inside a Void Space, let’s see if I can change its colour from black to white.| Lucius was attempting to bend reality but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t manipulate the colour of the Void Space so he gave up on it.

Lucius tried to create a clone of himself but failed again, Time Travel succeeded but after he stopped using it, he reappeared at the Void Space and nothing had changed.

|I can’t clone myself probably because of my overpowered system, Time Travel works but doesn’t effect the real time, making it more dream like because once cancelled, it’s like waking up from a dream. There has to be sitting cool I can do with my current level of strength. Let me try grabbing someone from outside the range of my Divine Sense.| the first person who came into Lucius’s mind was the Evil Lord so he tried to grab him.

He thought about Evil Lord and grabbed forward, his hand turned illusory and assimilated with the space around him.

...

Evil Lord whose name was now Yak was minding his own business when suddenly, a massive and llusory palm appeared above him and tried to grab him. In front of this palm, Yak’s instincts were telling him that he couldn’t do anything against this palm, had absolutely no way of resisting.

|Master... HELP ME!| he said subconsciously and the palm was stopped from moving an inch closer. A black and red heart with different weapons piercing through it manifested manifested in front of Yak.

"What did you do this time? Who did you provoke?!"asked Evil

|No one! I haven’t done anything Master, I promise!|

...

|Mhm? Something is blocking my hand from moving forward, it’s probably the World Spirit. Forget it, I’m gonna test my powers on Medium Worlds, Peak Worlds are too powerful.|

Lucius chose a random Medium World and tried to grab the strongest entity inside it.

...

[Is this really the limit of strength? Can’t I grow stronger than this?] a dog sat inside its cave and contemplate the limits of strength. It was a black and white pitbull breed covered in scars on its face and one of its ears was torn off. While in contemplation, a colossal illusory hand broke through space, captured it and disappeared.

...

|I caught something, haha. Let’s see what I caught.| said Lucius while pulling out his hand from the assimilated space.

|Wow, I caught myself a pitbull, why is it covered in scars though, it must have been used as a fighting dog. How can you treat your dog so cruelly.| said Lucius while creating a bubble that covered the dog inside it, so that it didn’t suffocate to death. He then shrank his body to a slightly bigger size than that of the dog.

|Come here, mcuu, mcuu, mcuu, don’t be afraid, come here little guy.| said Lucius in coercion. The dog then slowly approached Lucius and allowed Lucius to pet it. It was the first time the dog existence being brushed on the face and scratching the back of its ears.

|What’s your name?|

[Danger.]

|Holy shit!| said Lucius while jumping far back.

|I forgot that Magical Beasts could speak. Sorry about that, I thought you were an ordinary dog. You said your name was Danger right, my name is Lucius and I brought you here. Tell me, what can you do?|

[I’m not a d... I can fight and kill.] Danger wanted to say he wasn’t a dog but stopped himself at the last minute and just answered the question.

|Who’s your owner?|

[I don’t have an owner. I am the Lord of the Canine World, the Alpha... dog.] replied Danger.

|Don’t have an owner, so you obtained these scars from challengers?|

[Yes.]

|And what do you enjoying doing?|

[Fighting, killing and growing stronger, especially the feeling of growing stronger and making my enemies and females submit.]

|Then do you want to return to your World or become my pet?|

[I want to become your pet!] said Danger while wagging his tail to show his excitement and happiness.

|Good, you’re now my dog. Before we continue with this conversation, let me try bringing back my old pet and try to settle old scores.| said Lucius. He then disappeared from the bubble and appeared outside it.

|Rainbow, let me see if I can revive you.| said Lucius and began to concentrate on the severed connection between him and Rainbow. A ball of poison condensed and floated above Lucius’s palm, after that, the poison ball quickly moulded itself into a frog shape. After that, everything about Lucius changed, his aura was cold and warm, distant yet close, scary yet beautiful. His hand turned into bones as he grabbed forward, pulled out something, swallowed it and blew air on the frog.

Shortly after, the unmoving frog twitched before abruptly opening its eyes and looked around.

CROAK!

|No, you’re not dreaming. Welcome back, I brought you back to life.|

CROAK!

|When you reach True Godhood, anything is possible, like bringing the dead back to life.|

CROAK!

[It’s a long story, let me try to deal with the person behind your death before we continue this conversation.| said Lucius. His boney hand had returned to normal as he focussed his thoughts on his target then grabbed forward. His hand assimilated with space like plunging it in water.

...

A golden scaled Dragon was peacefully sleeping deep inside a larva pool. Valuable treasures of different types floated inside the larva but remained perfectly intact. In smaller larva pools were smaller dragons of different colours that were also sleeping inside. Suddenly, space rippled and an enormous illusory broke through space, grabbed at the dragon and disappeared. The smaller dragon’s were startled awake in fear and terror, some even flew away without looking back.

ROAR!

ROAR!

ROAR!
