56 Overwhelming Power (2/2)

They fire their weapon, but I give them a smile.

The bullets come to a stop right in front me. Their time is frozen.

”Greeting Gentlemen. My name is Neo. And I am the One.”

I joke before switching places with the men. The moment I did, time return to normal.

The magic bullets turns their bodies into bloody paste.

I head down to the hall before I heard some groaning behind me. Twirling the laser spear in my hand, I teleport the surviving man next to me and stab the spear through his head, killing him.

”Now, where do you store all your research.”

I question. Although I could get the answer easy enough, I rather explore the facility myself. There are quiet a number of undead being locked in cells. They come in all size and shape, including a baby. This guys have no line they couldn't cross.

I saw a flaming skeleton as well. It stares at me with its flaming eyes before I turn it into a pile of bones.

How did they manage to create a living skeleton?

I will figure it out once I have a hold of their researches.

”There! Shoot him! Shoot him!”

Great, more people to kill. I turn them into dust without even looking. I twirl my weapon as everyone I see explodes into dust instantly. I need a challenge – and I wish I hadn't said that.

Once I turn the corner, I thrust my spear on reflex.

It is because the person in front of me didn't turn to dust like they suppose to.

There is only one reason for that as far as I know.

It should have impale the undead – her?

Why is there a child here? She looks like she is about 8 years old. She is definitely not 8!

She is also not any child as she stops the laser spear with her bare hand.

It doesn't even singe her skin.

Her blood red eyes look at me before the spear shatters into dozens of pieces.

I immediately jump back, but the distance between us didn't change at all.

She didn't seem to move at all.

”What the...? Alright, I give up. Who the fuck are you?”

The girl tilts her head slightly to the side before placing her index finger onto her lips.

Those red lips of her forms a smile.

Her hands then hold up her Victorian dress to give me a courteous bow.

”Greeting, Maximilien Maxwell. Even if it is on accident, that was very rude of you. And you didn't greet me. I suppose I will have to teach my little brother some manners. Has it been an eon already?”

The moment she said that, I feel something crushing my spirit.

It feels just like the time I was checking out the beginning of time.

She is as powerful as those things dwelling in the darkness, probably more. No, she is definitely more powerful!

Holy fuck!

”Ughhh....”

I struggle to stand upright.

My knees begin to bend under the immense pressure. I stab my spear to the ground and force myself upright.

I will not knee, not to anyone!

The girl blink.

”Why is your spirit so weak? What happen to your magic and cultivation?”

Her hand reaches out towards me.

Even though she shows no hostility, just the gesture screams extreme danger.

I immediately teleport out of the facility and back to the Hydra base in America.

To my surprise, she is still in front of me. No matter where I teleported, the distance between us does not change. Even stopping time does not affect her.

Now, I know that I'm fucked!

Her hand touches my head.

It feels warm – like a mother touching her child.

Why did it feel like that?

She called me her little brother. I do not have a sister.

I am the only child –

”Oh. So that's why. They really gang up on you.”

The girl said and remove her hand from my forehead.

The incredible pressure on my soul also stop, letting me breathe.

”I can forgive your forgetfulness for failing to greet me, your senior, since you have lost your memory after your rebirth. But I will not forgive you for attacking me, even if it is on accident.”

The moment she said that, the world glow brightly.

A magic circle form under us and spread out to encompassed a huge area.

Stone pillars emerge from ground at the edge of the circle along with ornaments and buildings. It looks like Roman or Greek architecture.

I could feel immense magical energy in the air, entering my body with each breath.

Once the coliseum is erected, the little girl vanishes from her spot.

She is now sitting on her little marble throne, looking down at me.

This is probably the first time someone did.

I would have been pissed if they think they are superior to me, especially from what appear to be a little girl.

However, this time, I feel that I am actually inferior.

”Not to fear, I will not kill my dear little brother. But try not to die too quickly. Also, your power will not work here. I will unseal it after the punishment.”

Yup. She definitely has the power to crush me.

Good thing I hit her on accident.
