57 Master of Chaos (1/2)

Like she has stated, my power is inaccessible to me, currently.

If I try to use it, I feel a strange tingling sensation all over my body.

Since I couldn't run or teleport away, I guess I will have to take my punishment like a man.

Every action has its consequences.

I do feel a bit naked since my power has been with me for so long.

I feel invincible with it.

But at least now, I know that my power can be sealed.

Instead of crying about it, I should figure out a way to prevent it from happening again. Learning magic seems like a good way. How, that is the question, isn't it?

As for the 8-years-old girl, she is in the position of power, and she demands respect.

Ignorance isn't a good enough excuse. It does have some weights, but it does not completely free me from my action.

A chef couldn't blame the contaminated ingredients for killing someone with his cooking, could he?

Anyway, she did say she won't kill me – at least permanently.

That is something.

”Umm... big sister. You seem to know everything about me, but I don't know anything about you. Can I at least learn of your name? It would give me a way to address you respectfully.”

The girl smiles faintly from her throne. It appears that I have rubbed her the right way.

That is a good thing.

She looks so small up there, but appearance can be deceiving. Didn't I teach a certain woman the same lesson?

Never judge a book by its cover!

And when you are that powerful, you can literally be anyone or anything you want – maybe even God.

Will I be that powerful one day?

I do hope so.

Why should I settle for anything less?

”You can call me Terra Discordia, little brother.”

Terra tells me. It seems like she had just made that name up on the spot.

Well, I did made my name up on the spot as well.

I think mine is better, though.

”I am the Master of Chaos. Like you, little brother, I am an Aspect. All powerful and all knowing, but I choose to keep my individuality. We are not related by blood. Blood is meaningless to us. We are related because we are Aspects. Everything is born from Chaos, even Time and Space. In other words, I am your mother.”

I nearly choke at that.

She is my what!? Fuck off!

Terra narrows her eyes as if she could read my mind.

She probably could, considering her power.

It is hard to take her seriously when she looks like a child. I wish she would choose a different avatar, one more older and more fuller in certain places.

”It is just an analogy, little brother. We are born at the same time since time does not exist then. I am aware before you, so you will respect me just like you demand respects from those beneath you. Now, show me what you have learned since your rebirth.”

Terra mentions my rebirth again.

What is that all about it?

Did I died before and then got reincarnated like those main characters in books on Webnovel?

”I will tell you everything in good time, little brother. Now, what should I summon as your opponent? It can't be anyone too powerful since you don't know magic and your spirit is not cultivated. This is a bit troublesome.”

Terra thoughts for a moment.

Once she appears to have make up her mind, a magic portal appears on the opposite of the coliseum, spitting out an huge, mean-looking monster.

Its body is entire green, and there is tusks coming out of its mouth.

The creature looks around before settling on me.

”Me smash!”

It roars and raises it giant wooden club high, readying to charge.

”That is an Orc. A normal human shouldn't be able to fight it on even ground. I expect you to do better, little brother.”

Terra informs me.

So that is an Orc, huh?

Terra can summon fantasy monsters – or are they really fantasy?

I had always thought magic wasn't real. I was proven wrong. I guess I should be more open-minded to these things. It couldn't be helped since I was born and raised in a scientific universe.

In any case, I just need to kill it.

With the remaining laser spear in my hands, it shouldn't be too difficult. The weapon is more advance than anything these fantasy monsters have – besides magic.

Since I am unable to use magic because I have no idea how, I believe the monster could not either. It is to even the playing field.

The monster charges at me.

For its size, it is pretty fast.

I also charge at it, spinning my spear, causing it to hum ominously.

I just need to avoid getting clubbed. I probably won't get out completely unscathed if I got hit.

When I am within reach, the monster swings it massive club across my head.
