The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

[ Cryz Stone (Tier 5) :- A unique ancient stone born out of the proliferation of Mana and Divine power. It has the power to affect the Universal Laws of Evolution, Mutation, Progress etc to bring about the most optimum form of a creature or thing below ???. Can also affect Skills and Abilities, Techniques and Arts etc and progress them to the next level ]

Damien went through the Stone of Evolution, or rather, the Cryz Stone's definition briefly. He then put it within his storage, and began collecting collecting more of them.

There were tens of them this side, and he collected them all. At the same time, he collected everything else that was close by to him.

The colorful Shards, which were impurified Mana Crystals, the numerous Mana Stones, which some he used to restore his depleted Mana.

Each Mana stone recovered a thousand units of Mana if absorbed. And there were numerous of them here, to the point where he felt like they were the main commodity.

He absorbed a thousand or so, and instantly recovered a million units of Mana. But it was still slow. Especially as his reserves were way beyond a billion.

That was secondary though. His main goal was still to collect as many resources he could get his hands on. While the battle was taking place.

After all, it was plain obvious they were not winning this fight anytime soon. And the Stones of Evolution was not the main reason he did not go back to Juliette yet.

There were still many more things to collect, and hoarde all for himself. And this Realm itself, was just adding more to his great demands.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Realm Guardian and Flint was still underway. And was even greater than it was moments ago.

BOOOM!!!

Both the Realm Guardian and Flint crashed heavily onto the ground, shaking it into horrendous earthquakes that threatened to topple down everything.

The Realm Guardian stood up the fastest, and sent out a tail bash towards him. Flint reacted fast, and used his special pyrokinetic innate ability to push himself backwards like a rocket.

Boom!!

The large draconic tail smashed down heavily with the force of a billion tons, and shook the soroundings greatly.

"..."

Flint, who managed to quickly avoid death paused in his actions. He then realized that fighting like this, would lead up to his death.

His natural defense were overally less than 1% of the Realm Guardian's total damage. Let alone 1%, it was below 0,1% if he took in the Realm Suppression factor.

He would die if he was touched even casually by any of its normal attacks.

'Which is why I need to upgrade more of my Abilities.' He thought, then called up his Template and checked for any useful Abilities he could manifest.

But unfortunately, he had no Abilities that could increase his defense value. 'Am I really this...' He paused, and immediately changed his mindset.

He could not demonization himself.

Not now!!

He pulled back using his flames, as the Realm Guardian continued on with its pursuit. In the meantime, he spent a lot of Ability Points to convert [Expanded Force (Extra)] to the peak of Unique Grade.

It had no physical enhancement passive effects, but once activated, it dealt five hundred times more shock damage to the opponent.

And that was what Flint was looking for in this situation. 'If I cant increase my defenses, then I'll just make do that I am not touched.' He thought, and charged towards the Realm Guardian.

The Realm Guardian took the challenge head on, and also charged towards him. But Flint was unphased.

And as both opponents got so ever close to each other, Flint finally used a few of his Class Abilities that he had to attack.

<Blazing War God>

<Essence of Destruction>

One increased all his perimeters by a thousand times, while another transformed his next attack into pure destructive Essence that could not be dodged by even the strongest under the Deity category.

Adding along his already over two billion tons worth of damage, and the [Expanded Force (Advanced Unique)] that added another five hundred times of pure shock damage.

His next attack would be devastating!!

And he had to time this next attack properly. For he only had this opportunity to shift the battle perspective to his favor.

Hence two flashes of light went and clashed together at great momentum.

Booom!!

And an explosion was kicked up, as a force almost thirty billion tons smashed onto the Realm Guardian, and pushed it back faster than it charged forward.

ROOOOAAARRRR!!!

It let out a roar of pain and agony, as it crashed heavily onto a couple of mountains behind it, toppling each and every one of them into rumbles and dust.

Worst of all, it's left arm was evaporated into nothingness, leaving being residual red flames that made it impossible for it to heal regardless of how much Divine power was supplied.

ROOOOAAARRR!!!

Hence it let out another roar of pain and anger this time, shaking the whole newborn Realm itself. Then from its body, a terrifying aura spread out.

Following it's roar, the whole Realm suddenly changed. The sorounding environment was warped , and transformed into a crystallized world of Endless length.

The world was pure white, with crystallized mountains, crystallized hills, crystallized valleys, crystallized stalactites, crystallized stalagmites and many more.

It was beautiful, yet devastating.

And what was even more devastating, was the thousands upon thousands of stalactites above him, that suddenly fell down towards him at light speed!!

...!!!

Faster than anything the boy ever saw. 'What in the...?!' He hurriedly reacted and used another one of his Class Ability. With his infinite Mana, he could easily bare the cost of the Ability.

<Cosmic Sun>

A miniaturized sun instantly appeared within his palm, being a thousand times more powerful than an ordinary sun. And once it appeared, he immediately raised his hand above him.

WAM~

And with that, more Mana was powered within the sun, increasing its size to become as large as a few mountains put together.

The thousands upon thousands of falling stalactites fell upon the sun, and instead of facing resistance, easily tore through the Cosmic sun and pushed on towards Flint with great speed.

'Oh no...!!' The young man froze, and only watched as the stalactites tore through his Cosmic Sun and appeared a few meters above him.

Ba-dump~

His heart suddenly beat one last time, and alongside that, was a voice that rang within his head that immediately woke him up instantly. 'SWITCH!!!'

BA-DUMP~

His heart beat once again, releasing flames like a hyper charged neutro-engine. Flames that instantly travelled like neurons all the way to his brain, and cloaking it in flames.

BOOOM!!!

And that very moment, the thousands of stalactites struck the ground. And unfortunately for them, Flint appeared tens of meters back like a ghost, a trail of flames lining towards the stalactites.

"Huff... Huff... Huff..." Flint's breathing was raggered. His heart continuously climbing up the roof in fear. And his body sweating buckets in stress.

He looked up at the stalactites that struck the ground ferociously. Then back at himself, still in disbelief. 'How did... What... Who...?' He thought, yet could not calm down to properly have thoughts.

The Realm Guardian was also surprised that he survived, and let out an even more powerful roar of anger. A roar that shook the crystal world they were in.

It then opened its mouth, and took in a large breathe of air. And from this small action, Flint suddenly saw strange characters flying towards the mouth of the Realm Guardian.

He saw the same characters around the falling stalactites. They were white and silver, and read "Light", "Disorder" and "Destruction". He did not understand them, and let them be.

But he realized he could not ignore them now. The ones gathering within the Realm Guardian's mouth were the same, and even more.

They were "Light", "Destruction", "Annihilation", "Plasma", "Matter", "Fire", "Chaos" and many more. Which altogether, gave a threatening pressure like never before.

'What's... What's going on..? Why is this happening..? Sir Damien.' He thought, and he knew that no matter what, he had to AVOID this attack. No. Matter. What.

ROOOOAAARRRR!!!

The Realm Guardian finally swallowed the numerous characters, and released a magnificent dragon breathe like no other. It was white in color, and traversed Light at an instant.

But Flint believed he could still avoided it. The distance between was enough. Unfortunately, at this moment, he realized that he could not move his body.

'...!!!'

And the dragon's breathe pushed on closer to him like death. 'Ah, Fou... I'm going to die–' But unfortunately for him, more surprises were in store for him.

For a gray flash swept him by, and they luckily managed to survived the disaster. The Gray flash then appeared mid air, and was revealed to be Damien with the Wings of Endless Ash.

"Ah...? Sir, sir Damien?" Flint asked in surprise. He was held in between Damien's armpits. But no reply came to him, as the young man himself was staring at something else altogether.

Something above them.

It wasn't even the terrifying Realm Guardian. But an even more terrifying being. "So, it's you..." He said with no emotions within his tone.
