Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

384  383: What In The Absolute Fuck?

[The truth is that those… things you call Stars of Consciousness… are actually the Soul Origins of the dead gods of your Universe.]

The moment Corey heard these words, his expression instantly morphed into one of confusion and a tinge of… wariness.

'I don't understand. What do you mean the… 'stars of consciousness' in the Perceptual Nexus Repository are Soul Origins of the dead gods of my Universe? What is a Soul Origin? And what or who are the dead gods?'

As Corey asked these questions, numerous other thoughts and questions went through his mind. However, despite having so many thoughts and questions, there was a specific thought he kept on having.

'Am I safe?'

[I won't tell you what Soul Origins are right now since you're not at the level to start dealing with souls.]

Nina's voice flowed into his mind, and Corey noticed that he became less anxious and calmer.

[You know that-]

Just as Nina was about to speak, the pile of bones in front of him interrupted and shouted with unveiled anger in its disgusting voice.

"Human! How dare you ignore me! Since you wish for death's call, I shall-"

"Silence!"

CLAP!

A single word and a single clap resounded loudly in the temple, and something unbelievable happened.

The soul in the pile of bones was shocked.

Nina was slightly surprised.

Meanwhile, Corey's pure white eyes were frighteningly cold as he gazed at the pile of bones with his palms touching one another.

"What- How-?"

The soul in the pile of bones stuttered with extreme shock, disbelief, and a tinge of fear in its voice. It looked down, and with its multiple eyes, it could see the fine cracks on its body that were spreading rapidly.

It shook and trembled slightly.

"You're a pile of bones. Behave like it, and keep quiet."

The instant Corey said these words, the pile of bones shook intensely, and in the next second, it crumbled apart into fine dust.

Every single skull became fine dust, and the temple became eerily silent.

Corey slowly lowered his hands, however, the coldness in his pure white eyes did not decrease. Instead, it increased.

He looked down, and a second later, every bone that was on the floor moved. In a fraction of a second, the bones straightened, and then every single bone pointed at Corey.

Corey saw this, and he instantly scoffed. He raised his right leg, and then he stomped the ground.

Vibration Manipulation

The ground vibrated, and a second later, every single bone on the ground turned into dust.

"Impossible! What sort of sorcery is this?!"

Corey looked up, and his gaze landed at the altar.

Standing right beside the altar was a figure made out of mist and a black light. The figure's shape was not constant, and it continuously changed from that of a man to a woman, to a child, or to a beast.

However, what was constant was the expression of despair and horror that every single face had.

Corey knew this was the main soul of the pillar of bones, and he also knew that the despair and horror on its constantly changing face was not the expression of the main soul, no, they were the emotions of the countless souls that the disgusting soul had tortured and devoured.

When the figure saw Corey's pure white eyes that were filled with utter indifference and disgust, it shivered… It felt like he was not looking at a human but something else.

Corey tilted his head slightly, "You got any other disgusting magic trick up your sleeve?"

The figure's constantly changing face morphed into one of anger, and he roared, "I don't know who you- What?"

"Yeah, a blabber mouth all through and through."

The figure's eyes widened in disbelief as Corey instantly appeared in front of it while it was speaking. The figure did not need to ask, it knew how Corey had done it, it knew that Corey had teleported.

However, Corey's act of teleporting shocked him to his core.

It was about to speak, however, its instincts screamed at it, and its eyes instantly locked onto the most beautiful flame it had seen in its entire life. The flame was in the right hand of the human, but despite the beauty, its instincts warned it of its incoming death.

It tried to move, however, the human in front of it moved at a speed that shocked it once more, and the human grabbed him.

"How-"

It was about to ask how the human was able to hold it, however, it saw a faint black light on the human's left hand, and it felt a searing pain in his soul.

Before it could even react, the flames on the human's right hand engulfed him, and he screamed.

"AAAATTTIIIHHHJJGGGG!!!!"

Its scream was nothing like that of a human or even a beast, no, it was chaotic and had no order in it. Purely a combination of sounds that should never be combined.

"STOP! STOP! STOP! I'll do anything you want! I'll give you anything you want! Is it knowledge?! Wealth?! Power?! I'll give everything to you!"

The figure pleaded, and Corey scoffed, "I refuse."

After saying these words, Corey increased the output of his dreamfire, and the figure screamed in immense pain once again.

He jumped back, and a second later, the ground beneath him shattered and Corey crashed into a wall of the temple, broke through it, and flew out of the temple with a being a few inches in front of him.

18:41

"I curse you! I curse you human! I curse you to the end of the world! I curse you to all the Old Ones! I curse you to the holy father!"

A wide smile instantly appeared on Corey's lips, and he raised his left hand.

"I'm immune to curses you disgusting piece of shit."

After saying these words, another dreamfire appeared on his left hand, and he increased the output of his dreamfire. The output of his forbidden ability- Soul Entropy, was also increased at the same time.

The figure's scream increased, and just as it was about to die, it roared.

"RASSSSHHHHAAARRRRR!!!!!"

The figure let out a final scream of pain, anger, and unwillingness, and a second later, it dissipated like smoke.

Despite the death of the figure, Corey was not happy, relieved, or even relaxed. Instead, he furrowed his brows deeply, and a pondering and solemn light flashed in his eyes.

Three seconds later, his Eyes of Omniscience saw something beneath him, and his eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the Nightmare Finger that was on the altar. The instant, he did, his Tri-Pupil Eyes glowed, and the finger vanished.

Even before the Nightmare Finger was stored in his Tri-Pupil Eyes, he had already used a skill- Super Jump.

He jumped back, and a second later, the ground beneath him shattered and Corey crashed into a wall of the temple, broke through it, and flew out of the temple with a being a few inches in front of him.

'What in the absolute fuck is this thing?'

[A/N: Important Announcement in the Author's box below. Please check it out.]

So, I want to tell all of you before it's too late that I'll be going for my Youth Service in my country on the 28th or earliest 26th of this month.

I'll be in the camp for three weeks, and I won't be able to write during that period.

Camp ends on September 17, so let's just say that I should be back by November 1 latest... Hopefully nothing happens to delay when I come back.

So, yeah, that's all. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
