83.33% A Game Against The Gods / Chapter 14: Sin

Kapitel 14: Sin

A whirring sound could be heard around Ben's body as he walked towards Claude. Each step left deep imprints on the ground which made it look like his body was extremely heavy.

The pressure around his body was getting stronger and stronger as he approached him. Using his Telekinesis, he enveloped his body with this force and made the pressure basically nonexistent. His mastery over his skill was better than Claude since the latter had only upgraded his skill recently.

Claude narrowed his eyes as he made eye contact with Ben. Right now, the thing that warranted his attention the most was how he could use his new ability and how strong it is.

After a few more moments of silence, Ben bent down and jumped up to where Claude was with such a speed that one could only react after the damage was done.

"HAH!"

Ben readied a punch and leaped up to where Claude was, Claude was shocked at the speed that at which Ben was traveling. Fortunately, his reflexes were also superhuman, he barely dodged the punch and reacted by making a gravitational force that pulled Ben down.

Claude couldn't fully control his ability and there was also the drawback of mental fatigue the longer this went on. As of right now, Claude could only use the basics of Gravity to force Ben down on the ground but the latter had Telekinesis which could help him ignore the gravitational force.

"If I can't bring him down using just one then why not hundred?" A slight chuckle escaped his mouth.

Claude started to periodically add forces that pulled his body down each time Ben leaped up. Each time Claude did so, he managed to comprehend his ability more and more to the point that his ability grew even stronger than before.

Ben noticed this additional force that was pulling him down and started to panic. The pill that he consumed only increased his ability for a short duration and recovered his stamina but the drawback would be that his stamina consumption would increase by thrice.

"At this rate, I'll be exhausted in 5 minutes! Dammit! Is there nothing I can do?!"

Ben thought rigorously but came up with nothing. He could only use his ability when focusing on one task and one task only. Since it came to this point, the only thing he could do was a suicidal attack.

The pressure around him that was slightly getting stronger and stronger in an instant exploded that caused him to cough up blood. But on the other hand, Claude also experienced the same thing as Ben.

There were forces that kept on pressuring the bodies of their enemies, both were coughing blood and were unable to breathe. Given Ben's superior physique, he would actually be able to hold out longer even though the forces acting on him were even greater than that on Claude.

"*Cough* Sui... cidal attack... huh?"

"*Wheeze* Right! *Cough*"

They were looking extremely terrible as their bodies began to break down due to the pressure surrounding them. Despite this, Claude still kept a rational mind as he poured his entire consciousness into making Ben feel even more pressure.

Their consciousness is starting to fade as they exhausted their last breath. As a last-ditch effort, Claude's mind staggered as he unconsciously used his ability in such a precise way than before.

Previously, all Claude could do was generally use his ability to manipulate gravity and create gravitational forces around him generally but now for a moment he specifically removed all the forces on Ben and... ripped his head off.

So much force was used that the head even compressed and its facial features were unrecognizable.

A light enveloped their unconscious minds. The wager that they made were fulfilled as his points increased by 1 and all the information Ben knew surged into his mind.

After the wagers were taken by the respective parties, both players appeared to where they were before as if nothing happened but the village they were in was in ruin.

The silence was broken by Ben, "Now that I think about it... I don't recall you ever giving me your name."

"Sin. Call me Sin."

"I'll remember your name! I'll be the one that will take in such a talent!"

"I don't think you will ever beat me, to be honest."

"We'll see until we meet again!"

After Ben left and asked the system for something, his mumbled words were silenced by Claude's thoughts as he went through the information that went inside his head.

"Hmm... it looks like I have a lot to learn about this world!" As Claude was rejoicing his victory after a mentally exhausting fight, a cold voice interrupted his voice.

[All the information you received is common knowledge apart from the knowledge of a few places for the players. You could have had gotten all this information if you asked me.]

"I don't wanna! The God of Games sent you to aid me, who said I needed help to bring him down? I'll only use you in upgrading my skills, other than that you have no other purpose."

[Understood. Do you wish to take on the status of "Rejected." It only enables the skill function and removes everything else. Doing this, you will receive 100 points, the minimap function will be unlocked for all and a hidden quest will start. Additionally, you would be marked by every player and the moment you lose a game will be your death. Note: Nothing will prevent you from escaping death.]

"There was a function like that?"

[The God of Games predicted that at least a few players would be arrogant enough to be like you. As such, there is a function in every system. But it could only activate for 16 people.]

"Sounds interesting! Make it so!"

[Converting status to "Rejected"... Done]

[Status has been converted into the "16th Rejected." Hidden Quest starting]

[Hidden Quest: The Only One]

[Goal: Defeat the other 15 Rejected in a game.]

[Reward: ???]

[System, Self Degration]

"Seems easy enough." The sound of a transmitter came from Claude's ear.

"Ruby, get over here now."


Kapitel 15: Gravity

Running through the dense forest, Ruby was carrying Ken by the collar. For some unknown reason to Ken, every branch on the way slapped his face which made it red.

The task that was given to them before was abruptly stopped due to Claude's order.

In the meanwhile, Claude was thinking on how to go about in tackling the mission that was in front of him.

"Let's first start upgrading my skill."

From his previous observation of Ben's ability and his, they all follow the natural laws that govern the world. Although they were powerful, they still follow all the natural laws.

At first, his idea was to strengthen his "Gravity" ability then to move on to improving his "Creation and Manipulation" ability. He waved his hand and a holographic panel appeared in front of him. There were numerous buttons and slides that would render anyone confused. After observing the details of the panel for a while, he vaguely understood what these meant, at least a general understanding.

On the upper right of the panel was the list of abilities that he currently has. He picked his "Gravity" ability and a slide and numerous buttons lit up emitting a bright light. He fiddled with the panel with the goal of understanding how he could improve his ability.

After a few minutes of guessing, he exhaled and then pressed on a slide then swiped it to the right. This increased the number on the top left of the panel, which indicated how many points it would take.

He upgraded this ability as much as he could which resulted in him in only having 10 points remaining. His new ability now hovered on being a Supreme Tier 7 nearly breaking through Low Tier 8.

Even though it sounded amazing, Claude didn't know how strong it would actually be without testing it out so... he did.

He tried using roughly 1% of his ability to test out the waters. That 1% was enough force to rival or even suppress his previous usage of his ability.

Shocked but not surprised, he increased it to 5%, the ground started to break down as it closed in around him.

He then tried 10%, the ground now no longer broke down but instead compressed causing the entire area around Claude to shrink down. This caused the previous soft soil to be as hard as a rock.

Seeing more of what he could do, he increased it to 20%, this time the air around him became heavy, if one were to try and move here it would only cause that person to freeze in place.

Not feeling satisfied with the outcome he directly increased it to 50%, the air was no longer heavy but was distorting, this kind of distortion was the kind where if anything is thrown at it then it would be reduced into nothing.

Seeing how interesting how ability was he increased it instantly to 90%, the sky itself was bending down as if it was trying to kneel down and kowtow towards Claude.

Then 95%... within the sky it started to fall down as the clouds were brought down to the ground. After that 98%, the compression and mass within Claude's beck and call were enormous as he tried to further use everything he can to see the very extent of what he can do.

At 99%... pure emptiness appeared, something even light cannot escape. This pure emptiness only appeared for a fraction of a second but it sucked up everything, from the Earth all the way to the Heavens. At this point, Claude knew what was going to happen and if he didn't stop right now then even he might die if this continued.

"A black... hole..." Such words were spoken with both fear and excitement. This was what Claude was aiming for! He lost the feeling in his legs as the village that once existed was gone without as much as a trace only leaving a gigantic crater.

This was when Ruby appeared, carrying Ken over her shoulder. Apparently, Ken was unconscious due to the G-Force that was being exerted to him during the trip. She threw him down at the ground while looking elegant at the same time.

Ken woke up in shock, "That was... SO MUCH FUN! Let's go again! Let me-" At this point, he realized where he was and respectfully bowed towards Claude.

He didn't know what kind of expression to make with what Ken just said so he just coughed. After demanding the info Ken collected, he told Claude about a rumor of a God's Fruit being fought for in the royal family.

Claude didn't care about it though, as far as he was concerned he had no equal so he didn't want to widen the gap even more.

He heard more info, which he already knew due to the game he played with Ben from before. After thinking that there won't be anything worthwhile to listen to Ken talked about another rumor.

"There's talk about someone called a Rejected in another kingdom, it seems that this person might be another player like you so-"

A little smile appeared on Claude's face, "And this Kingdom's name is?"

"Reinthair Kingdom"

"Then that's our next destination!"
