Chapter 434 - Restricted Evolution (2/2)
”Oh, just rut already and be done with it.”
”Tch.”
Ray's frustrated click of tongue resounded within the spiritual world.
***
”Tch!”
A frustrated click rang within a seemingly dark and empty space with an only single source of kaleidoscopic glimmer, but even the light was devoured by the pitch-black darkness, creating a deep contrast. The figure that continuously created the light had short glimmering hair. Lustrous white that gave off a rainbow-like sheen. Slightly fair skin and modest figure, at least, that is what could be seen from the jeweled dress covering her body. An equally lustrous crown crooked over the figure's head.
”Evo... why do you have to be stubborn. Reaching rank 10, like us, is hard. We have become a part of the reality itself... and the reality doesn't want you to evolve further. We all have a great business going. You should just continue to let your clones initiate evolution within—”
”Bugger off, bitch.”
The silent woman finally spoke. She seemed to be addressing the darkness itself.
”Fine, fine,” not taking any offense, the being continued, ”We all are eternal. Transmigration, Reincarnation, and Reaction. Evolution should have been a part of the group, just like me, Void... well, the current trend does not allow Paradises for both of us. At least, now, you have a place to say...”
The figure added with an eerie note to his voice, ”Forever...”
”Evolution... I, cannot be sealed or killed. Go ahead, stop the labors from evolving, but that is limit of your reach. The so-called guardians of reality are nothing but insecure, talentless bitches. They can't take a step forward, or break off the trap they jumped into. They want power, and they also don't want to commit any sacrifice. What a pathetic paradox.”
The glowing woman continued. Her expression neutral.
”Yeah, yeah. Vent. That's all you can do.”
The mysterious being chuckled as the woman's gaze hidden behind the locks of her hair finally flickered.

”Phew~”
A hulking, blue-haired man hummed a serene tone as he trekked over the mountain layered with violet soil. The peak was disastrously high and the man... walked on the mountain laterally on his feet. A fishing rod hung across his shoulder and casual clothes of his fluttering due to the sheer pressure of the wind. It was already a miracle that his clothes did not tear off.
Finally, reaching the peak and finding a good seat, the crimson-eyed man whipped his fishing rod, letting the string loose and descend into the layered clouds right beneath him.
”I should catch a few cloud sharks for Nik and Ray, too. They've been sharing stuff from their world... they would enjoy the stuff from this world... probably,” Brian muttered. ”And this update... sounds tedious. Anyway, my Vacation Token should work for three months, this way, the two have a lifeline of another travel before promoting.”
As Brian continued to mumble, the fishing rod curved downwards, fighting against his hold. ”The clouds turned rather quickly... as expected of the cloud reactor...” Brian grinned and pulled harshly, barely controlling the balance and keeping himself from falling. With another tug, Brian successfully pulled the victim up from the sea of clouds. A green-skinned shark with eight eyes and the size of a car was forcefully pulled from its home. As the shark with cloud for its fins arched in the sky, Brian smirked and slashed his arm towards the shark.
The beast instantly felt itself solidifying at a greater speed and even its fins turned green. Finally, with the shark still hooked to his fishing rod, Brian jumped down and pulled the monstrous being alongside. The moment they passed the sea of clouds, the shark finally felt panic as it couldn't revert into clouds.

Holy Orchid Institute.
After the competition concluded and removed four more teams, leaving a total of five teams in each class, the group dispersed. Many held expectations for tomorrow will be the day where Nik's disciples confront each other. At least, that's what looked to spectators but hidden confrontations had already begun from the first day.
Even until now, the four girls kept to themselves without interacting much. A significant portion of their mind continued to live yesterday's moment where Korra suddenly kissed master without him rejecting the advance while the other half was spent on continuing to shake off the completely new feeling in their life— Hangover.
This time, Nik encouraged his disciples to leave with their families, after all, his night was uncertain and instead of exposing another illicit scene to them, Nik would rather let them go early with a few words of encouragement.
As Nik and his... substantial group made their way towards the estate, a scene appeared in front of him.
[Update Begins in 3... 2... 1...]
And the screen shut itself.
