Chapter 996 The Dangerous Man!
The crystal was looking silver in colour at first before it turned slightly red. The red colour intensified with time, but it stopped just when the redness became slightly like blood mixed with water, faint and wasn't like the fog the man released before.
A portal did open, and the man vanished through it. And yet the red fog he released still lingered in the air. Before he'd left, he mentioned something about the incoming disaster to hit the city, and he spoke in a weird way about the five crystals he gave to these foolish city leaders, hoping they wouldn't use these fast to give more time for his scheme to finish.
Then he appeared in a vacant space, one that looked like an opened turf or something. It was filled with nothing, looking quite barren, without plants or vegetation, without any sign of life.
That place didn't have a single unique feature to it, and no one could tell where it was. Yet William wasn't distressed or worried, not even frustrated by this. He knew there was a way to go there and find that mtherfcker, and then he'd interrogate and torture him to know everything about that proclaimed god.
And yet the scenes didn't show why this man got hurt, or why everyone was able to see through what this man was doing without getting the same backlash as before.
When William got puzzled by this, he suddenly saw something that answered everything. The next few scenes showed the man resting, enjoying his time, without a single speck of worry over his face.
Yet all of sudden, and at the last scene, he looked quite distressed, as if something went wrong or a disaster just befell him. William could tell from the features of that man that something huge went bad. And he could already guess what it was.
"It's the monster tide that he lost already…" William got to that point without the need to watch anymore. But then, things started to be far more interesting.
In the middle of that man's panic, a copious amount of red fog appeared. This time it didn't come from his body but fell over him like a tornado that appeared out of nowhere.
Things looked quite dangerous for that man. And yet William was quite sure he wasn't going to end dead.
"God! Almighty god! Please, please show mercy on your loyal servant!" The man was quite scared, not faking it. It was as if he was looking at the death coming at him, as if he was facing something he couldn't deal with, or even escape from.
The man screamed, pleading for mercy, and yet the red fog kept assaulting him. Soon enough his voice went coarse, and his pleads turned into violent and blood-curdling screams.
Everyone thought the man was done for, and yet that didn't happen. In less than two minutes, the man finally got out of that red fog, while the fog turned, showing a weird bright red star, just tens of metres above the ground.
William's body froze the moment he saw this star. For a reason, he felt like he saw it before, saw it when he met the fox spirit for the last time.
"I don't tolerate failure! Do everything in your power and take that place down!" a very fierce and loud tone came from that star, without showing any mouth, no eyes, nothing at all that could resemble faces known to humans. But William felt this star was just a fake front, a facade appearance of that spirit.
He was now sure this wasn't a god, but a mere spirit, one which belonged to the Chaos faction. It was trying to destroy everything in the world, trying to see the entire world burn.
"It's working not only on this world but on other worlds as well… Including the outer world… Was it he who did that to the big kingdom back then? Or was it another member of its dirty faction?"
William couldn't tell, and he suddenly became far more curious than ever to lay his hands on that man. To him, it wasn't just a way to secure the city and others from this man's unstoppable abilities, but also a treasure vault for the spirit world and the Chaos faction there.
William wanted to learn more about such an enemy he never learnt of its presence except recently. And now he knew why the Mystic Art worked this time, why things went on without any backlash.
"It seems the Mystic Arts, the entire Fate and Destiny world are all attached to one's health condition. If he was injured, then it'll be the right time to do something like spying on him, without getting any backlash."
He was just in the middle of his thoughts when that man suddenly stood up, looking in a vicious and extremely dangerous way towards a point. Weirdly enough, it appeared as if he was looking at them as if he could see through the shackles of space, see them standing here in the fate and destiny world.
"Scram!" The man waved an arm, and even with all the wounds he suffered, he had the strength to eject them out from the fate and destiny world.
"What happened?"
"What did he do?!!"
"Are we ok? Is everyone ok?"
The next moment, everyone returned to the real world. They fell to the ground, and they were all shocked and puzzled.
Even William didn't get what that man did. He couldn't believe there was someone in this world who could see through the world of fate and destiny and even had the power to stop what they were doing.
As everyone got into what happened, what they saw, and what they heard and learnt, William took a corner and started deeply thinking about what this man did.
"It's not possible for him to see through the time and destiny world without being there… My best guess is that he felt someone was spying on his actions, and he released a surge of power to cut such a spying attempt. Thanks to that, we got ejected from there, without suffering any backlash or a single wound or injury…"
