Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon-Chapter 616 : 615: Garden of Lust

Corey knew what exactly the Tribulation was trying to achieve by making him see a little girl that was like a perfect replica of his sister.

If he was right, the goal of the Tribulation was to distract and sway the focus of a person from the right path.

He could easily ignore the plight of strangers he knew nothing of despite their words, promises, and temptations of a massive reward.

However, what was extremely difficult for him to ignore was the sight of a little girl who has the same face, same voice, and same name as his younger sister.

So many thoughts had appeared in his mind when his eyes landed on the little girl, and a major part of his thought was that what if the little girl truly had a connection to his sister?

What if his sister was dead, and the little girl was a part of his sister's soul?

What if he could find a way to locate his sister or help his sister through the little girl?

So many what ifs flashed in Corey's mind the second his eyes landed on the little girl, and it took all he had to resist the urge to fall into these thoughts and help the little girl.

This was why he walked away the moment he heard the girl call herself, Anna. Hearing that she has the same name as his sister was the last straw for him, and if he continued looking at her, he was certain that he would not be able to stop himself from helping the little girl.

And from there, he would lose his focus and the path he was meant to take.

Corey's mind was currently in a mess as countless thoughts flashed in his mind, but there was another preceding emotion he felt from the depths of his soul.

Rage.

The fact that the Tribulation chose to use his sister reminded him of the fact that he had a reason to live and survive the Tribulation no matter what.

His main driving force in trying his best to attain as much as power as possible was to save his sister who was the last surviving member of his family.

Seeing his sister's face reminded him of when he lost pathetically to the people of the Temple of Flames, and this brought about a fiery rage of anger, determination, and focus in him.

Corey's eyes flashed, and then arcs of lightning flashed around his feet and legs. A second later, Corey ran across the empty and lonely path while leaving behind remnant arcs of white lightning in his wake.

Corey's plan was to ignore every single obstacle or distraction on his path, however, six minutes later, a change occurred in the skeleton.

The skeleton became heavier, but the increase was not so exaggerated like the previous time. From 7,000kg, the skeleton's weight was now 8,000kg.

Corey somewhat expected it, so he was not caught off guard. His Stars of Consciousness and main consciousness quickly adjusted his body to the new weight of the skeleton so that his momentum and speed would not be heavily disrupted.

If this was all, Corey would not have minded. However, something more horrifying occurred after the skeleton's weight increased.

The skeleton spoke.

"Thou shall not use any ability to increase thy speed."

"Thou has committed a sin, so thou shall be punished."

Corey's eyes widened and his head snapped to the head of the skeleton which was on his right shoulder. Before he could react to the words of the skeleton, he felt the mana flow in his legs and his connection to the Lightning Movement Art getting cut off.

Corey stumbled, and if not for his unique mind and his nigh perfect control of his body, he would have tumbled multiple times with the weight of an adult make elephant on his back.

As soon as Corey came to a stop, another change occurred on the skeleton.

It's arms tightened around Corey causing Corey's expression to change as he felt like he was being hugged by a large bear as a mortal.

Corey looked at the skeleton's head with an extremely cold and dark gaze, and the skeleton smiled at him.

Corey's eyes flickered when he saw the skeleton's smile, and a few seconds later, he looked away.

His eyes moved to the Mountain of Giza in the distance, and the coldness and sharpness in his eyes increased.

Without saying anything or reacting to the sudden strangeness of the skeleton, he began running with the skeleton smiling at him from his right shoulder.

Ninety days went by after this day, and in these ninety days, Corey experienced a lot of pain, sufferings, and temptations.

On his way to the Mountain of Giza, he encountered an extremely beautiful garden that was filled with beautiful flowers, trees, and an extremely clean pond of sparkling water.

In this garden, there were half-naked and naked women who were so beautiful and sexy to the point that Corey started having thoughts of having sex with them.

This garden was called The Garden of Lust.

In the Garden of Lust, he was extremely horny and he wanted nothing more than to pounce on the women who were more than willing to allow him to devour and devastate their bodies.

Leaving the garden was extremely difficult for Corey because not only was the garden huge, it also had a dense and powerful aphrodisiac in the air which his body could not resist.

The women in the Garden of Lust were also countless and no matter where he went, he could not avoid them.

Although this place was extremely difficult for Corey to leave, three of his Stars of Consciousness had been assigned a duty, and the duty was that every six hours, they were to bring an image of his sister and parents into his mind.

This refueled his determination, focus, and desire to leave the Garden of Lust.

It was not easy, but Corey was able to do it.

After leaving the Garden of Lust, Corey encountered a battleground that was filled with tens of thousands of corpses.
