Chapter 521 - Soccer Ball (1/2)
The man looked massive, something that was inconceivable considering the level of security he would have had to live under for his entire life.
He wore a grey uniform with a single zipper that went from his collar to his crotch. On his left chest, a bright red tag shone: #D2901.
The air around this man seemed to grow solid, a palpable killing intent hanging heavily around him.
It shouldn't have been possible for even an A-grade Prisoner to become so large, let alone a Dark Prisoner. Their meals were perfectly measured to maintain health and prevent starvation, but it shouldn't have been enough to feed their strength, let alone growing to have such a muscular body.
There was no doubt that whatever ability this man had, his strength was related to it.
City Lord Hargrove's expression flickered.
'He doesn't know what The Empire is? Or who the Emperor is?... Interesting, it seems that we've underestimated just how villainous this Ascension Empire is…'
Hargrove should have known. Any Empire that dared to name itself Ascension had to be arrogant without regard.
There was a reason those of the Dimensional Verse described the evolution of a world as the Descent of a Dimension. It was supposed to represent a bestowal by the Universe. Whether it be the talent or potential of a world, it was all gifted. A world didn't grow to accept an evolution, rather an evolution fell upon a certain world.
This was the subtle difference. This was the core truth behind Dimensional Descent.
Yet, whether by coincidence or by a lofty purpose, Earth's Empire named itself Ascension. Arrogance didn't even begin to describe such bloviating. It almost made Hargrove laugh in rage.
As a man born in a world with such little talent, he understood this bestowal the most. Yet, this Earth, despite being lucky enough to be gifted such prospects, actually believed that they could snub their noses at it.
Hargrove raised his head, a billowing laughter leaving his lips. His long mustache caught a wind, whipping about wildly along with the rest of his hair.
His hands clasped behind his back, his chest standing wide and broad.
”We accept one and all!”
#D2901 laughed when he heard these words.
His legs flexed, the ground beneath him cracking once again.
BANG!
He shot into the skies, crossing a 50 meter length in a single bound.
Just as he was making his way through, another group of prisoners charged out. Damian, Joseph and the others could no longer wait. This wasn't because they decided to trust these people, but rather because the appearance of this man had sent the guards into a frenzy.
The guards at their level of security was minimal. After the destruction of the prison, Damian could use his ability again. As a person who had an S-grade ability upon awakening, his ability had long since crossed into the Fifth Dimension now. So, defeating a few low level guards had been especially easy.
