Chapter 118 - Like Grass (2/2)
…
The clans gained power immediately because cultivation gave them a massive advantage. The soon took over half of China. They were also brainwashing people on a wide-scale through a wide variety of means such as music, television, etc, making everyone subconscious slaves to the clan. Then they decided to kill me since I was a thorn in their sides. Since the system had given me new strength they would not let me live, for our enmity was set in stone. I killed all their assassins but they would just send more. At some point, they were using civilians to attack me, but I killed them all, got them out of their misery. Eventually, I fucked up the clans, but before I could deliver the finishing blow Genesis came, and you know what happened next.
So yes, I did kill a lot of people, I killed my own countrymen day in day out, like I was mowing grass. I got rid of all the brainwashed ones and I broke the control of the clans, but the damage had been done.
Do you have a problem with anything I did.”
Will had a lot of thoughts rattling about in his head. It was clear that Ezra was far from sane. The look in his eye wasn't one of clarity, not to mention his disheveled experience. Will didn't want to gain a crazy powerhouse's ire, so he decided to shift the topic.
Will raised a brow in condescension and said, ”Damn straight I do, but for now Ima keep this to myself. Right now the whole planet is at stake. So we need to work together. You seem to know a lot about me, so tell me about this Genesis dude. Man sounds like Madhara Uchiha.”
”Well, let me be straight up with you. Genesis is, without doubt, the strongest user on the planet. Like you he gained the favor of an immortal, gaining lessons, being sent to adventures on other worlds, he even got help in understanding the Dao. That with his freaky martial talent resulted in the current freak of nature.
He isn't much of a conquerer and spends 99 percent of his time training. He created the Samsara Sect as a safe haven for those ravaged by the aftershocks of the system, and at the same time, wanted it to be the first shield for planet earth should the planetary wars happen. According to Genesis, the first war came too soon. So right now the dude is trying to create a temporary alliance between him, Golden Lord, Musashi, and Dragonheart.
Peerless, in other words, you, should be in that list as you re a Sovereign but you are low leveled, have no territory and have no well-known feats. Putting Genesis in a tight spot. Everyone has agreed to follow Genesis through the war, but he wants to follow you, creating the current nonsense.”
Will: Nonsense what nonsense?
Ezra: ”Nah don't worry about that for now. Let's talk about something else. I want to explain to you how the cultivation world was structured before the system. I also want you to explain how you have two Empyrean Intents. Modus has told all of us what you can do and even told us that there were rewards for beating you, but you had to lower your power as required. Last time I checked Ignius fought you at 5 % and lost, very impressive.”
Will: ”How impressive?”
Ezra: ”Let's just say I've lost a few times to five percent ignius.
These words put a smile on Will's face, but the next words made his face ugly
Ezra: ”By the way, I was using 1 percent of mine.”
