The Universe Is Innately Just

The loud and heavy steps resumed as the creature began following the vehicle with unexpected agility. Its size didn"t bother it as it had no difficulty following the squad of soldiers.

Soldiers that didn"t stay unfazed in front of the strange scene. And without Fell"s close presence, he had enough time for the rest of the journey to rea.s.sess and a.n.a.lyze the short, confusing conversation that happened.

Low mumble and mutter softly spread inside of the advancing vehicle, but Leove didn"t do anything to stop them as his mind was filled with complex thought about the situation their city was in.

"Is he truly that strong?", asked one of the man that controlled the drones. His hands fiddled with the sharps wings of the drone he had recovered earlier, a clear sign that the event had left him restless.

Leove looked at the man before turning behind, and pointed to the towering beast. "The answer is laid right in front of your eyes.", he added before continuing. "Do you think we can even scratch that creature? Look at its thick fur, and otherworldly body."

"Let alone take it down, do you think we can outdistance it with this vehicle?", he ended. Clearly expressing that the mission they had been given was ended shortly due to Fell"s presence. "In front of him, that furred G.o.dzilla is behaving in the same way a dog would in front of its master."

The man"s hand stopped fiddling with the drone, and his face turned white as he felt that fate had made him dodge a critical bullet. But nonetheless, his eyes continued looking at the dangerous creature with curiosity.

He only stopped looking when the gigantic eyeball jerked, and gazed at the direction of the car as though it was looking directly at him.

"Scary…", he muttered as he thanked unknown G.o.ds that Fell had taken control of such strong creature. "Isn"t it going to escape his control?", he added as his mind had turned blank when the orange colored pupil had lighted his mind in fire.

Leove laughed dryly, as he too had thought about such an event, but hadn"t dared asked the young cultivator himself.

Sadly, in the ears of the scared man, that dry laugh was everything but an answer that gave him some sense of security.

The rest of the journey was spent with the strange setup. An original convoy of the squad"s vehicle followed by the towering creature Fell mounted traversed the rest of the highway without facing any hurdle.

Ronnie closed his eyes the moment he regained his seat in the vehicle, and closed his eyes the moment his body landed on the leathery surface. He seemingly fell asleep as soon as he shut his eyes, with the other soldier following shortly behind him after looking outside of a few minutes. It was unknown to the rest if the two were tired due to the upgraded MechSuits, or simply because they had faced far too many events during the day.

Time pa.s.sed quietly as the strange group made its way to the entrance of the Core. And before long, a dense and compacted steel jungle entered his eyes from the distances. Covering it was darks billowing clouds of dust and toxic waste that danced and warped in the same way small snakes would entangle themselves in packs.

"This is the Core…", he muttered softly from the top of his red mount. "Looks like I didn"t come from the brightest world.", he commented briskly with a wry smile before gazing at the shantytown with a discerning gaze.

"Looks like the inhabitant of the main district have been evacuated here.", he mumbled as he felt that the town was far too little compared to the population of New Casablanca. "Won"t it be too cramped here?", he added before feeling the stupidity of his thought.

Cramped or not, no one would care about that where your street were being flooded with dangerous creatures the size of a building. Nonetheless, those comments didn"t undermine the long interest he had cultivated about his home town. And in fact, it was even the contrary as he couldn"t understand how someone of his current strength had appeared from such depraved land.

His eyes moved from the spectacular shantytown in the distance, and landed on the unconscious body of the red haired man next to him. His eyes glowed, showing that he was in deep thought, and his mind worked as he tried remembering Akainmhar"s word when they first met after his awakening.

"Sifiso…", he mumbled the name of the individual he needed to meet. His only clue as to who he really was surfaced in his thought as he prepared himself for the future research he would do in the Core. "Looks like I won"t have many trouble searching him in this small area.", he added.

The small area he spoke about was the dense and compact jungle of steel sheet that formed the Core. Strictly speaking, the area wasn"t small, and could even be said to be the size of a city in itself. But when put in comparison to the humongous size of the main district, and the even bigger lands of the factory district.

Its size couldn"t be seen as anything but ridiculously crooked and small. A far cry from the streets of the main district that entered his eyes when he crossed the energy shield surrounding the city-state.

The beast under him came to a stop after another minute of travel, and stood dozens of meters behind of the small vehicle that came to a stop. Fell"s keen gaze landed on a man that had descended from the vehicle.

Seeing that it was Leove, Fell rose to his feet and stepped once before appearing next to the squad leader without producing any sound. In the eye of the experimented soldier, Fell"s figure seemed to have entered an invisible spatial portal that made him appear right next to him.

"Incredible…", Leove thought in his mind as he tried hiding the surprise induced by the soundless movement technique before exclaiming in a polite tone. "We have arrived, Sir."

Fell nodded as he understood the underlying meaning of the squad leader. He turned around, and stepped once, appearing on the head of the creature with the help of his incredulous movement technique. He crouched, and recovered Akainmhar"s body before jumping toward the vehicle.

His movement appeared to be instantaneous. Even without the execution of his spatial step, none of the soldiers was capable enough to track the shadow left by his figure when he moved.

Leove"s eyes opened widely as he noticed the individual at the end of Fell"s hand. He recognized the flaming patch of red hair, and was pleasantly surprised to see the same figure that had raged war with them- outside of the city- during the past three days.

"Is he injured?", asked Leove as he knew how much of an otherworldly phenomenon the red haired man was. Thankfully, the answer he received from Fell caused him to confirm that such individuals couldn"t be taken down with usual means.

"Just spent up. Albeit a bit too much…", Fell added before turning his neck to the side. Fell"s sight landed on the immobile towering creature that was watching his strong master interact with his food.

"You can go play around.", he briskly spoke before adding. "Kill anything that resemble me, or them.", he added while pointing the individuals in the vehicle before continuing. "And I won"t hesitate to turn you into nutritious paste."

His threat worked instantly as the towering creature understood every nuance of his words. A red ma.s.sive shadow flashed in front of their eyes before disappearing through the sea of factories.

"Truly the same as a dog…", muttered an incredulous Leove that found it troublesome to hide his surprise. "Let us go, Sir.", he added while inviting the young cultivator to follow them inside of the car.

"You"re method are truly unknown.", he added while leaving his seat to Fell. He waited for the young cultivator to sit down, before doing the same on the seat that faced Fell.

"Nothing special.", responded Fell that didn"t find the feat particularly impressive. He had seen how Thol"Yr had managed to turn the entire army of creatures into a working set of meridians.

His realm of existence, and his point of view on the world had drastically changed with his awakening. His entire set of memory was lost in that event, but his soul could now connect with the universal laws with ease, and the only thing that seemed to have downgraded due to that was his knowledge about his past.

Externally and internally, Fell was no longer the same person. But the karma he has sown didn"t make it possible for him to brush his obscure past.
