QT: Against My Will

399 7.23 – Omni... – Ward Of The Wickeds

Omnipotence – the capacity to have unlimited power and authority.

Omniscience – the capability to know everything.

Omnipresence – the power to be everywhere and act simultaneously at once.

Would anyone wish to have some of the attributes above? Most would only want to be omnipotent because the rest sounded like a pain in the ass, right? But unfortunately, one couldn’t focus only on a single attribute. Everything had to be comprehended simultaneously.

What would happen to someone who’s reached the pinnacle of such attributes? Nobody knew. It was a path unknown that even the HQ strayed away from.

Contrary to many beliefs, Xuan Mu became the most proficient in the last one. Already being able to separate into 4 independent individuals, even before he started to cultivate, made it easier for him to succeed in splitting into not only a hundred more but even millions.

There wasn’t a single copy of his persona; each individual would have their distinct features together with names, like XMWBS1S, which meant: Xuan Mu without Bing Shi 1 second.

He never wished to be that kind of God, who would watch over everything. As a result, he decided to never strengthen his omnipresence again in fear something would throw that position at him.

This decision caused him to reach a bottleneck and he no longer could gain more power or knowledge unless he began to develop his omnipresence again. So once in a while, he would go all out and become present in as many places as possible, where all things would be bare and open to his eyes – the more XMWBSDs he sent out, the further he could reach.

.....

Similar to research, sometimes he would return successful with a new discovery and advance, but most of the time, his expeditions would end up fruitless.

Lu Kai and Xuan Mu lifted their attention from their work to have a look at what was going on. A passive Ru Quan with a gloomy mood was normal, but an excited Ru Quan, who recovered his lost youth, was as strange as Ziek going into a strategic retreat like an obedient boy.

To think they all threw the job of a therapist on Ziek was enough of an indication that he was the strongest among all, mentally. Ziek was the only side of him, who could carry the rest through the long days, forcing them not to give up.

So why was it always Xuan Mu, who appeared before Bing Shi and Lu Kai who appeared in the public? Everything came with a disadvantage. Ziek’s social skills and behavior control sucked a little bit too much.

And who said it was always Xuan Mu who appeared before his wife? They were one soul with a similar character at the core. Every action Ru Quan did was made by their combined decision. One could also say that they all agreed to act as Ru Quan, whereas Ziek’s comments could be taken as the annoying voice inside one’s mind.

It was very easy for him to understand his wife’s situation. Bing Shi and Dai An were both a part of her past that appeared together at the same time, making it very hard for her to distinguish who she was.

{“Nora, return immediately and tell me what Silvia is doing right now!”}

{She is being kissed by Earl Fester.}

Victor cursed while getting rid of the excessive hair growth in places such as his face, chest, and back. When he increased his vascularity (a bodybuilding strategy to develop prominent blood vessels near the surface of the skin) to reduce the growth, his body responded to the loss of insulating body fat by growing a thin layer of hair as if trying to keep him warm.

Luckily, Victor’s high proficiency in controlling his inner spiritual force prevented him from becoming a walking werewolf. Nobody could see any changes in his features, but what was she trying to say? To train his haircutting skills on himself if he was so bored?!

{“So that cheap slut was not lying, huh?”}

{What do you mean host?}

{“Nothing. Search every database in this world and report to me anytime you see a child with similar features.”}

Victor was sure that the child in the photo she gave him was not Earl Fester’s. There was not a bit of resemblance in terms of looks.

Riley and his group had to stop the car at a hospital because Riley’s condition turned out to be much worse than Victor’s. Leaning against the headboard of the bed, that young man’s stance remained very calm and unyielding the whole way. Every action Riley has taken so far has shown his ruthless decision-making.

Riley’s pale complexion flushed in rosy pink while his large, phoenix-shaped eyes fluttered open in remarkable calmness. His silver hair stuck to his slender neck covered in a cold sweat as he tried not to lose consciousness from the pain.

His mind remained calm while he waited for his group’s next action. Would they forever be on his side or not? He wondered as he gambled with his life, ‘Since I’ve chosen you, your only option is to be my ally or... don’t blame me for being ruthless~.’

Riley didn’t want to risk leaking his secrets if he used something out of the ordinary, especially when his knowledge about this world was vague. Still, he decided to take a look at his System Store. Somehow the items under the medicine category had become pricier, which only caused Riley to roll his amethyst eyes in ridicule. Was this world also turning its back against him?

There were so many things Silvia did behind the plot of the book, which was portraying her as a holy mother with subtle hints of bullying her brother. But in reality, she was even eviler than the Silvia in Riley’s memories.

From his own experience, there was nothing worse than being betrayed by someone you trusted. It was good to have allies but he could survive even without anyone by his side! His thoughts were interrupted by a slender finger that glided over the beauty mark under his left eye.

Damon’s throat couldn’t help but gulp down the accumulated saliva, suddenly feeling undeniably thirsty, a certain emotion had been stirring up inside him from the moment he met this boy. His pitch-black eyes turned extremely dangerous as he removed his hand from Riley reluctantly, his voice fierce and cold, “I’ll bring back the remedy,” he then flew in the direction of Silvia LeClére, impatient to wait until someone came up with a cure.
