Chapter 1620 Pushing Forward Into That Cave
Universe? Cosmos? In my eyes, they were just things that kept giving me headaches upon headaches! If not for my weak current self, I\'d try to make a new change in the entire universe! And if I got the power to do it, I\'d even change the entire cosmos!
I didn\'t know what happened in the future, but it seemed I grew lucky and powerful enough to get to know lots of secrets about the universe and cosmos. And so I didn\'t hesitate anymore.
This dude seemed to grow impatient and unsettled with my reasons and actions. He got the power to go back in time, hunt down my earlier self like this. And it was just right to keep crushing this crazy bastard until I\'d find his real body one day and kill him for real.
"You are just crazy! The craziest person I ever met and saw in my life, ever heard about in the entire annals of history. You have to die! You have to get stopped now before you\'d secure this world of yours, before any of the future calamities would happen."
"No need to say anymore bullshit, just like the other clones your real body sent, you are going to die here," I waved my glaive, and prepared for a hellish battle.
"Hahahaha! Do you take me for a fool? I already know what happened to my earlier copies that got sent here. They all died in your hands, and that\'s because you are just supported by fate to win and survive. This time, I will crush both you and fate, and will use these bombs to destroy not only you, but all the things you made and struggled to build so far."
"I won\'t let you do it!" I knew he wasn\'t bluffing, and I wasn\'t as well.
"Let\'s see about that," as he said this, his image slowly faded in front of me. I knew he was going towards the place of these bombs. And that was where I should go as well.
I planned before to take it easy while scouting the entire place. The enemy made sure to build up such grand preparation here, and that meant the entire place was flooded with traps.
Racing my way directly towards there was a bit risky. Yet I knew I shouldn\'t just run towards there without getting to scout the place first.
So I went into my mirror world, and there I started to see the world that was filled with bright light.
There I couldn\'t see lots of things, yet there were places that had much denser light than others. That meant it was either the place of the bombs or the places of the activation mechanism of the enemy.
I thought about using fire again, but the current ongoing clash was enough to tell me this wasn\'t going to work. If my fire failed, then it was time to use brutal force.
Without waiting for long, I returned back to the real world, where I started to fly forward. Whatever that enemy might have in mind, he must have a plan.
The moment I went deeper into the cave, the bright light came in torrents towards me. I knew my chariot\'s shield was supreme, but it kept flickering with lots of flashing lights, telling me something was crushing against it.
I didn\'t hesitate and summoned my pillar\'s shields. The shields appeared one after another, ending up getting cracked and crushed in mere seconds!
This was enough to tell me this energy filling this place wasn\'t normal at all. In fact, I suspected even the activation process of this mechanism was already happening.
Such dense and unstoppable energy must have come from a deadly source, from these bombs. Realising this made me haste in my attempts to arrive there.
"Screw it!" I raised my glaive, waved it around before releasing all the skills it got. At the same time, I held the pillar with my other hand, and also started a barrage of attacks over the dense energy around.
This wasn\'t enough, but it helped in reducing the pressure over my chariot and shields to some extent. Instead of getting crushed in mere seconds, they started to survive for almost half a minute.
This allowed for my shields to finally stack together. They kept getting destroyed and crushed, but at least I managed to add more layers of shields around.
Yet these shields couldn\'t expand more than half a mile in radius. It was one of the rare times where my shields failed to expand like normal.
As things reached this far, I let my fallen gods to start attacking as well. All was for the single purpose of weakening this brutal energy, getting it under control.
But it was a futile mission to control such berserk energy. The thing that I could do now was to simply push forward. From time to time, I\'d go inside my mirror world to check on my progress. And it was indeed like a snail.
After I visited this mirror world many times, I noticed something weird. "This bastard isn\'t seen anywhere," almost three hours passed since he vanished. And when I thought I\'d see him anywhere, doing something crazy, I didn\'t sniff anything about him.
And that made me feel like something bad was going on, something that I missed. "Sh*t! Don\'t tell me he wanted me to go inside and suffer, before coming with his deadly strike or something…"
I felt like he was going to do something against what he exposed. This was expected from such a dirty clone. But the thing was that there wasn\'t a single indication about any of his plans.
All I could do for now was to just keep pushing forward. Even if he was preparing something for me, I got to reach down below, go towards the centre of this cave, and check over what the enemies here tried to use to detonate these bombs.
During the next day, I kept pushing forward, exhausting lots of resources, while that jerk didn\'t show his face even once.
