Vile Rabbit-Chapter 78 - . idk

In the dark and cold vacuum stood floated a 10 km black spiral tower, crafted from spirit crystal. The tower was covered with the true meaning of concealment and hardness. In the highest flood of the tower stood an extremely handsome figure clad in garments that pulsed with a runic aura. Apexion’s hand was stretched out, grasping the head of the unconscious Lyra, who was kneeling before him.

"I see,"

he muttered to himself as he released her head. He had gained a deeper

understanding of the divine ranks.

One of the things he understood was that two of the divine ranks were equal to one of his APEX rank.

For instance, even though Lyra had the strength equal to that of a spirit forging rank warrior, which was the third rank on his path, she was actually at the duke rank, which was the sixth rank on the divine path.

That also meant that unlike his path that allowed a creature to elevate a life level every other rank, the divine rank allowed it every two ranks.

There was a gap between the lifespan of each path as well; when creatures of his path could live for thousands of years, creatures of the divine path could only live for hundreds.

And compared to his path’s way of advancing, the divine is somewhat different, in which it is mainly centered around sacrifice. Yes, sacrifice, In order to advance after every two ranks, a creature had to sacrifice something very important to them.

in order for a creature to take its first step on the divine path, it would have to sacrifice the one it loved the most to the path maker, whether it’s a family member, a friend, or a lover, as long it’s the creature you love the most.

And what you will have to sacrifice next will be the thing they loved the most, keyword thing, as in it could be anything, jewelry you have been wearing since you were born, a picture depicting your late lover you just sacrificed, garments.

The third sacrifice will be one of your senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Lyra was currently at this rank, and the thing she had sacrificed was her taste, which wasn’t any thing severe in his eyes. In his opinion, taste was a small price to pay for advancing a life level.

After he gained an deeper understanding of the divine path’s toll, sacrifice, he couldn’t help but feel extremely jealous.

"Why wasn’t I the one who thought of this?" he thought to himself. He felt that a creature sacrificing what they held dearest to him was far better than his absolute loyalty.

After all, why would the current him need a creature’s undying loyalty? He is now far above such things. Why would a creature who could shatter the world with a stump need such worldly things? No, why would a pathfinder need such things?

’Yes, I don’t need anyone or anything. I can perfectly rely on myself for everything… Do I need a loyal army to march into an enemy’s world? No, for I can do that myself…Do I need to worry about one of my minions betraying me? No, for I am too strong for that. The gap between me and them

is abyssal; there is no

comparison at all. I don’t even need to move to kill them, and before they even started scheming, I would have

Already know.’ He couldn’t help but wonder what compelled him to set absolute loyalty as his toll. He thought about it for a second, then sighed in a regretful tone,

"What has been done has already been done and cannot be undone. Plus, my toll is not completely useless, rather it’s just useless for creatures that are far weaker than me." He pushed those thoughts aside and focused on Lyra, who was now lying on the floor, and wondered what he should do with her now, should he kill her now or use her as his personal divine experiment material.

He weighed the pros and cons; on one hand, if he killed her, he wouldn’t have to worry about any unforeseen circumstances, and on the other hand, he would have to worry about unforeseen things, such as what if the divine path maker can perceive things through the eyes of the creatures who walk its path, that would be extremely unfavorable to him, for he knew the current him was absolutely no match for the divine path maker, and if they were to ever clash, he would be annihilated in an instant.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. A second later, his eyes flashed; he decided that she was worth more alive than dead, but,

Tap!

He gently tapped her forehead, after which millions of shimmering black chains formed from the true meaning of concealment and barrier manifested and instantly wrapped around every inch of Lyra’s body, sealing her tightly.

He then tapped the empty area before him, then space fluctuated after which it started to twist and expand akin to waves in the ocean, after which Lyra’s body vanished completely.

He decided if he was going to keep her, it would be best if she was completely isolated, having zero contact with the outside world, except for him of course.

After finishing with her for now, he turned and gazed to his right towards a shimmering crimson sphere the size of dust that was encased in a runic barrier.

His starry eyes flashed, and the sphere appeared in his right paw; he gazed at the sphere intensely, scanning every detail of tiny the broken tier 6 runes within and the memory fragment inside it. His will pulsed, and his vision shifted.

He was back inside the dark realm, and everything happened the same as before the ’humanity’ sliced the monstrosity and the realm apart. But just before he fell through the cracks within the realm, the ’humanity’ gazed at him with burning eyes and asked in a deep tone,

"Who are you?"

Hearing this, Apexion’s thoughts burned with countless ideas and caution. He could only guess how powerful the creature was to be able to sense and communicate with him through a memory of another creature.

And Before he could respond, which he wouldn’t have, his vision shifted, and he was in the dark and cold vacuum, the same as the blood that attacked his world; the only difference was that there were three blood drops along with pieces of tentacle next to it.

They split into separate directions, and soon, the blood that he was clinging to reached Lyra’s world….

After observing this scene, countless thoughts flashed through Apexion’s mind. He thought about how long those fragments had been wandering the vacuum, and his body started to pulse with urgency,

’Have they also found a world? How much have they recovered?’

He decided to speed up his exploration and incinerate those fragments before they got out of hand.

He burned the blood drop before him into nothingness, then vanished and reappeared outside the tower; he then waved his right hand, and the tower vanished, after which his eyes flashed, and two blood drops flashed from his body then morphed into two clones, one clad in red and the other clad in grey. Immediately after, the three vanished in three separate directions.

…

Ten years later, the main clone came upon another world. It was a unawakened world that was composed of only water, the creatures that inhabited this world were creatures that called themselves the aquaion, humanoid standing 1.5 meters tall, blue skin, with a fin-like horn on the forehead.

He quickly conquered this world and activated its world core, then continued to explore the vacuum after leaving behind a clone.

As he traveled through the darkness, he spotted a colossal 10-light-year-long giant Nebula 6 light years ahead of him. His eyes burned with wonder as he vanished towards it. 21 days later, he arrived at the Nebula, he gazed at it with scanning eyes as he scanned the area of 29 million km before him. After he flashed inside, and just like with the first nebula, the world became colorful. He turned into a streak of black light as he flashed in a random direction.

Days passed when he suddenly sensed the presence of another creature to the east of him, he turned in that direction, and his gaze penetrated hundreds of millions of km and landed on what seemed to be a star that glowed with countless different colors.

The star was relatively small, with a diameter of about 10 km, it radiated an aura almost equal to his. He took a single step towards it, and the space fluctuated, and he vanished, reappearing later a few km before the star.

His will pulsed as he scanned the star, when suddenly, Crack! The star cracked open like an egg, revealing a humanoid creature.

The creature was 9 km tall, with colorful star-like skin that illuminated the area around it.

The creature’s form was genderless, with no facial features, with only a pair of shining eyes that sparkled with multiple colors.

’What do we have here’

Apexion gazed down at the creature with curiosity as his domain exploded out, enveloping the creature.

The creature also gazed up at it him and surprisingly also released a domain that pulsed with the true meaning of a star.

"?"

Sensing the creature’s domain, Apexion’s eyes shone, then he grinned, after which,

[increased!]

Boom!

He increased the gravity around the creature by thousands of times,

crack!

Tiny cracks began to appear on the creature’s body, but it just stood there motionless, with its shimmering eyes locked on Apexion’s as if it didn’t feel anything.

Suddenly, the cosmic dust around the creature started to shift and then pulled toward its body like it was being pulled by a black hole. A second later, its body started to heal, after which the creature’s domain started to pulse, and millions of small 10 km tall shimmering stars manifested. then,

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The stars shot towards Apexion; in an instant, they arrived at him. But he didn’t move; he stood there motionlessly with the same grin on his face, and

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They slammed into his body and exploded into mesmerizing color flames that vaporized the cosmic dust within millions of km.

The creature still stood motionless at the same spot, the flames not affecting it one bit. Its gaze penetrated the colorful flame and landed on Apexion a few kilometers before it, who was also unaffected; its eyes shone brightly, and millions of stars manifested around it again, and,

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Bang! Bang!

Apexion remained at his same spot as the rune stars exploded on his body once again.

Whoosh!

His grin became wider, after which he flashed and instantly arrived a km before the creature, his right paw slicing at its head at speed beyond light,

Whoosh!

In an instant, his claw reached the creature, but right when his claw was about to make contact with the creature, something unexpected happened. He saw the creature lock eyes with his, then raise its right index finger and stretch it out towards his right paw at extreme speed, then,

Whoosh! Boom!

"!"
