Bab 6: Avatar: Invisible Providence

[Hearing Viktor's question, you replied, "My avatar, Invisible Providence, cannot be seen by anyone other than myself. It takes invisibility to a whole new level. Not only is it invisible to normal humans, but also to avatar masters."]

[As you mentioned your avatar, 'Invisible Providence,' you summoned purple-colored tentacles that appeared on your body and extended towards Viktor as you reached out your right hand.]

[The purple-colored tentacles, invisible even to Viktor, headed towards him.]

[In just a matter of seconds, the tentacles gripped Viktor's four limbs tightly, wrapping around his hands and feet, restricting his movement.]

[Viktor was caught off-guard since he couldn't see the tentacles. He also didn't expect you to rebel so quickly, leaving him unable to counterattack.]

[As if reading his thoughts, you shook your head, "I'm not rebelling, boss. I have no interest in being the gang leader. Being the deputy is fine. Besides, I'm new to the world of avatar masters while you have connections. You can use me as your gang's strongest combat power, and I can use you for money and connections."]

[Waving your hand, you released Viktor from your invisible tentacle binding, "We both use each other. Think of this as a win-win cooperation between us. At least, you can call yourself the boss on the surface."]

[Viktor sneered, "Wouldn't that make me a puppet boss? Don't get ahead of yourself just because you awakened an avatar. I also have one! Water Man!"]

[Summoning his avatar, the humanoid water figure moved in front of him and extended both hands. It clapped its hands and a small whirlpool appeared between them.]

["Water Splash!" Viktor called out as countless water bullets formed within the whirlpool and shot out towards you.]

[In response to Viktor's attack, you snickered and stood your ground. Purple-colored tentacles emerged from your body, forming a wall that blocked all the water bullets.]

[Viktor continued his relentless attack, shooting water bullets like a maniac with a machine gun.]

[While Viktor was focused on attacking you, several purple-colored tentacles secretly extended from your body towards him. Unseen, they bound both Viktor and his avatar, Water Man.]

[Not only could your avatar attack humans, but it could also attack avatars. Invisible Providence had all the aspects of an avatar, with invisibility as its primary ability.]

[However, that wasn't the only power of your avatar. It could also conceal your presence and distort information about your identity. Your presence concealment was like invisibility but much more powerful.]

[But due to its power, it had a flaw: your presence concealment only worked if you didn't attack. If you attacked, the effects of the concealment would wear off.]

[The three main abilities of your avatar, Invisible Providence, were the summoning of invisible purple-colored tentacles, presence concealment, and identity distortion. The identity distortion extended to written and known information about you.]

[If your recorded identity was a high school student, you could make others believe you were a high school teacher. With such power, you already knew how to make good use of it in this god-forsaken world.]

[It was like creating an alt account in the real world. This ability could prove useful when acting in secrecy within the god-forsaken world, as well as in this avatar world.]

[As soon as you awakened your avatar, Invisible Providence, information about its powers filled your mind, along with general knowledge about avatars, including their types and categories.]

[Your avatar was of the domain type and fell within the instinct category. This meant you could control the aspect of invisibility within your domain, and your power didn't have sentience but was guided by your instincts.]

[From what you observed, Viktor's avatar, Water Man, was a humanoid type within the instinct category. His power could be channeled through a humanoid figure that could fight for him, and he controlled it by instinct.]

[Other avatar categories and types included beast-type and tool-type, as well as sentient and remote categories.]

[While reviewing the information you had awakened, you looked at the bound Viktor and sneered, "Reality has always adhered to the law of the jungle. The powerful ones trample and enslave the weak. Even the laws of this world apply only to the weak and poor, while the strong and rich bend them as they like."]

[As someone who lived in the god-forsaken world, you knew that all too well. But now that you have obtained power and become one of the powerful ones, you decided to save the god-forsaken world from the enslavement of the Outer God.]

[With Viktor bound and his avatar incapacitated, you realized you held all the cards. The power dynamic had shifted, and for the first time, you felt a sense of control that you never had since you were enslaved in the god-forsaken world.]

[Viktor struggled against the invisible tentacles, his frustration palpable. "What are you planning to do?" he demanded, his voice a mix of anger and fear.]

[You stepped closer, maintaining your composure. "I told you, Viktor, I'm not here to overthrow you. We both have something to gain from this arrangement. I need resources and information, and you need power to solidify your position. It's a mutually beneficial partnership."]

[Viktor's eyes narrowed, but he nodded slowly, understanding the logic in your words. "Fine. But if you ever betray me, I'll make sure you regret it."]

[You released the tentacles, letting Viktor and his avatar go. "Agreed. Now, let's focus on our goals. We need to identify and recruit potential avatar masters who can help us strengthen our influence in this world."]

[Deep inside, you thought of Viktor as a disposable pawn. You wouldn't hesitate to discard him once he had outlived his usefulness.]

[In fact, you also considered yourself a pawn. This was merely your simulated body, so you planned to make the best use of it.]

[Unaware of your thoughts, Viktor dusted himself off and smirked. "You have ambition, I'll give you that. But remember, there are avatar masters with far more powerful avatars than yours. Even gangs near Sky High have powerful avatar masters, which is why I haven't expanded Sky High's influence and have only dealt with drugs."]

["If you want, I can lead you to where those gangs are, and we can take them over under our command."]

Legends say that the author has watched a cultured animation with an "invisible man" in it, and another cultured animation with "tentacles" in it, and decided to combine both and granted it as the protagonist's power.

I wonder if the legends are true...
