The First Store System

Chapter 278: Return

Aakesh was relaxing on his chair since the store was empty. There were customers inside the weapons room, but they couldn't be seen from outside the door, so the store looked empty.

Aakesh suddenly opened his eyes, and a smile spread across his face. He had just gotten the alert from the system that Lily had exited Panagea and was currently in his room.

The virtual portal that had been greyed out for weeks finally returned back to colors.

The next moment, the door of his room appeared floating in the air. Right after it, the stairs connecting the room with the hardwood floor appeared.

The door of the room opened, and then Lily stepped out from the door and then stepped down the stairs.

Lily took a deep breath of air after appearing inside the store as it has been around two weeks since she had smelled the air here.

The scent inside the store was odorless since Aakesh didn't like any kind of scent permeating the air in the store.

Lily smelled nothing, but she still couldn't help herself from smiling. Aakesh, on the other hand, smilingly looked at her antics.

While looking around the store, Lily's eyes fell upon the weapons room. When she had entered Panagea, it wasn't there, so she got curious.

She disappeared from where she was standing and appeared in front of the entrance of the weapons room.

"Wow!" Lily couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, seeing the murals painted all over the walls in the weapon room after entering.

The customers present in the weapon room were already used to these kinds of reactions whenever they were here, so they ignored the sound and continued doing what they were doing.

Lily also ignored the customers as she couldn't move her eyes away from one particular mural.

In the mural, a being from the race unknown to her was fighting an Epochal Feline using a Disc weapon.

Since Lily had Aakesh's blood flowing in her veins, the system, considered her own, so she was also allowed to have a few of the benefits Aakesh had.

Like Aakesh, she could also experience the scene of the battle from the mural. Since Lily getting better in combat was only better for Aakesh as they both had an unconditional relationship of familial love, the system allowed her to gain experience.

The next moment, she disappeared from the weapons room and found herself as the unknown creature fighting against someone of her own race.

Since no customers were looking at Lily, they didn't notice her disappearance from the store.

The creature Lily had become was a strange creature with seven heads and seven legs. Each head had the same appearance, but they all contained different kinds of expressions. The fourth head, which was the center of all seven heads contained an expression of cruelty.

If Aakesh were here, he would have recognized the creature. It was a Primordial being called Sattaputal.

It was a being compared on the same line with Garuda, and similarly, like Garuda, Sattaputal was the only being of its own race. But unlike Garuda, who had countless descendants and was the progenitor of several bird species, it didn't have any ability to procreate since it didn't have any reproductive organs.

Sattaputal is also known as the 'Bringer of Massacres' in the third dimension due to its cruel nature. If any of the creature's eyes in the central head was open, it meant it was prepared to fight and slaughter.

Sattaputal had only one hand, and the disk it used was born with him when its creator, one of the ten Devas, created it.

Even though the Devas were peaceful, it didn't mean that they hated killings. 

For the Multiverse to exist, it needed equilibrium of life and death at the same time. If there's no death, the Multiverse would get filled with creatures and will lose all of its energy. If there's only death, the Multiverse would be nothing more than a shell with empty space.

Sattaputal was one such creation of their duty to maintain equilibrium when it came to the Multiverse.

Since its birth, Sattaputal had killed countless beings, making it one of the most hated and feared creatures in the third dimension.

Even the leader of the Asura or Yaksha races, who were way stronger than Sattaputal, didn't dare to kill it after it killed the creatures belonging to their races. It was all due to the disk he carried.

There was an aura around the disk he carried, that was reminiscent of the weapon of the Deva, its creator. Just a hint of an aura made it one of the top ten strongest items in the three dimensions combined.

***

The current opponent of Sattaputal was an Epochal Feline. Lily remembered it since she had met it in her training.

It was the second pure Epochal Feline to take birth in the history of the Multiverse.

(A/N: Pure here signifies 100% purity of bloodline. Lily is the third pure Epochal Feline.)

Epochal Felines had control over time since their birth, so the Feline in front of the Sattaputal was manipulating the time to make the Sattaputal revert to its weakest phase.

The Sattaputal let the Feline do what she wanted to do as it waited. Unfortunately for the Feline, her ability didn't seem to affect the Sattaputal even a little bit.

The Epochal Feline knew Sattaputal was playing with her. She was no equal to it when it came to battle, but she had no choice but to fight as she had fallen into the trap set by the Sattaputal for her. She didn't know why it chose her, but she didn't have the time to answer.

The Epochal Feline decided to use her strongest attack, and if she got a chance, she would escape the area.

The size comparison between the Sattaputal and the Epochal Feline was like comparing an Elephant with an ant. The Epochal Feline towered over countless lightyears, while the Sattaputal was only a few lightyears, but the battle was exactly going the opposite of the size.

The Feline used her strongest skill, Epochal Time, and without even waiting to see the result, she escaped. Even though it towered over countless lightyears, it covered an even greater distance in less than a second.

The Sattaputal noticed the Feline leaving, but it ignored it and instead focused on the skill that came at it.
