107 It Has Begun Part I of II (1/2)
The monastery, State of Avalon.
Akshobhya's body shook heavily and he opened his eyes the next moment. There was a look of complete disbelief on his face.
His connection with the three blood-red cubic crystals was severed due to the sudden changes and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
”Akshobhya?!” Kurtis couldn't believe what he was seeing. The great Akshobhya was sweating and shaking along with coughing up blood?
”What just happened?” Akshobhya thought of the sudden changes in the world of blue.
Just a minute ago, within a span of few moments, Zed's consciousness was forcefully pulled back. When Akshobhya tried to bring him back, he realized Zed's consciousness' power was growing multiple folds.
What was even more strange was that in the next moment Akshobhya was no longer able to track the source of Zed. This resulted in a backlash and his consciousness returned back to his body at the monastery.
”Hang on! Back then I felt a new life blooming which was connected to that kid,” Akshobhya thought of the scene before his confrontation with Zed, ”The new life has no bloodline connection to the kid but yet it seemed it was the child of that kid! Their psyche carried familiar source!”
”I remembered the bloodline source of that child of his, so I should be able to track that kid, ”Akshobhya further contemplated,” Not to mention I still have the trace of his consciousness.”
Akshobhya wasn't worried about the increase in the power of Zed's consciousness. When he attacked him, he hasn't even used five percent of his powers.
He was someone who was revered as Psychic Hunter. Even among those with psychic powers, his power was unrivaled.
”I even have my trump card,” Akshobhya looked at the blood cubes and then at the crystal platform upon which he was sitting, ”I have to get my hands on the secret that kid has!”
Akshobhya's heart was full of greedy ambitions. He ignored Kurtis and closed his eyes.
The satellite in Earth's orbit once again activated...

Delta City.
Kiba was hovering high in the sky. There were no clothes on his body, and all the injuries his other form suffered due to the explosion were completely healed
”Oh?” Kiba looked down and noticed Felicity speeding on a bike.
Her eyes were on the road so she didn't notice the disappearance of the column of fire after confirming he was alive.
Even if she noticed him, she wouldn't be able to see him since he was far too high in the sky. From the ground, he would look like a point object.
”I'm so sorry for making you worried,” Kiba muttered in his heart, ”I would make up for this.”
Rays of white light surrounded him and he disappeared from the sky.

Section I, Dream Rise House.
Kiba teleported inside the lab.
[[Sir, I am glad you are fine.]]
”Claudia, thank you,” Kiba took a set of clothes from a humanoid droid, ”You truly know me best.”
[[....]]
”Please contact Felicity so that she stops worrying about me,” Kiba said further, ”In the meantime also find me information about that Psychic Hunter.”
[[Sir, I would advise against a confrontation for now.]]
”?”
[[Your innate ability warned you of a life and death crisis even though your instincts know the full extent of your hidden powers. What you faced so far shouldn't be considered as anything bad given your willpower.]]
”Claudia, it doesn't matter,” Kiba's eyes were filled with malice, ”If the situation turned worse then I would go all out. I can definitely kill that man.”
[[Sir, you are not in the right frame of mind to decide things. Your anger and aggression is far beyond your normal self.]]
”You think I would be happy after being nearly put in a vegetative state,” Kiba asked annoyed by her words.
[[No. But the lab sensors are detecting an unusual level of chemical and hormonal changes in your body.]]
”What are you talking about?”Kiba had a frown on his face.
[[The changes are the proof that your instincts are still active in your body after helping you transform into your current form. I am sure you know it better than me the danger your instincts carry when you are in your current form.]]
”Don't tell me!?” Kiba teleported to the corner of the lab and injected a syringe filled with green serum in his right hand, ”They found the best time to influence me.”
[[The hormones and chemical activities have been balanced.]] Claudia read out the new sensor report.
A higher form of life would always have disregard for a lower form of life. This would be due to a sense of supremacy in one own's instincts.
It was similar to how humans felt while killing ants or insects. Humans wouldn't feel a tinge of guilt or sadness while taking the life of a lower power being.
Similarly, from the perspective of Kiba's powers, humans (mutants or not) were nothing but ants. The humans have their powers derived from Divine Particles but his power source was Cosmic Spark.
Kiba was a higher form of life than others which made his instincts feel others were vermins who needed to be exterminated.
Just like how humans couldn't handle the presence of insects in their homes, Kiba's instincts made him feel there should be no human form insects in this world.
There was no concept of good or evil involved in this urge. It was something natural just like other primal instincts every living creature is born with.
