“The second promise is to not fight any Transcendents until you’re ready to help us.”

John knitted his brows.

I get the first thing since he planned all this to create a Demonic Sider that can kill him, but what’s this about not fighting other transcendents until then?

I can’t think of why he would want me to promise that, but I guess it doesn’t stop me from doing anything I want to do.

“Fine,” John replied. “But since you want me to promise two things, the cloth isn’t enough. I want you to tell me where that concentrated Chaos Power which might have Earth on the other side is.”

O’Malley lifted his hand and pointed upwards. “It’s a few billion miles above us. The universe is a giant circle that’s still growing. When it grows, all sides—besides the top of the circle where the barrier is—expand. I like to think that Earth is a higher universe and when we died, we fell to this lower universe.

“That’s why I think we can’t get past that barrier because it’s almost impossible to go from a lower universe into a higher one.”

O’Malley then created a strip of cloth and drew the runes on it in front of John. He let the blood dry properly before handing it to him.

John took the cloth, placed it inside his Storage Space, then checked on the system.

During his talk with O’Malley, he kept cultivating while using the Life Stones inside his Storage Space.

Chaos Pool: 1

After saying goodbye to his master and promising to catch up later, John used the last Chaos Power he had to push himself into outer space, going directly up.

His speed had increased immensely. Mach 6, or roughly 4,700 miles per hour, was his maximum speed when using Toxin Power and time element, but when travelling at that speed, his eyes and body couldn’t keep it up for long.

Now, after he used that single unit of Chaos Power, he felt the difference as he was travelling roughly 400,000 miles per hour and his new Transcendent body felt no drawbacks at all.

As soon as he left that castle, he could see thin purple mist everywhere.

This must be the Chaos Power that only transcendents can use. I couldn’t see this Chaos Power when I travelled through space to planet zero, was it because I was an immortal?

He stopped all of his mind parts from working and began to test a few things.

First, he used only one mind part for the absorbing technique and waited four minutes. After those minutes were up, he saw that his counter in the system had changed.

Chaos Pool: 2

So I get a single unit of Chaos Power every four minutes for each absorbing technique I use when in outer space.

Next, John tried placing a second mind part to use the absorbing technique without another part merging it and waited a minute.

He felt no pain when he felt the Chaos Power had met up inside his body. Two minutes later, he checked the counter again.

Chaos Pool: 3

This new body is strong enough to withstand the clashes of power? If that’s true, then I don’t have to use any mind parts to carefully merge them together.

John then used six mind parts for the absorbing technique to test this theory and waited another minute.

Chaos Pool: 4

He waited another minute to see if another one of his theories worked.

Chaos Pool: 6

John smiled. Both of his theories were right. From that moment on, he didn’t have to use the mind parts for merging or keeping the Storage Space open since the Life Stones weren’t worth using anymore.

Chaos Power was one hundred million Life Power, and using six mind parts to cultivate will get him one hundred and fifty million Life Power per minute. His other theory was that the counter would only show one Chaos Power in the first minute but add two the next.

Looking inside the system, he saw that his Scan option was off, so he turned that on.

It worked!

John then created the full one million threads from one of his hands and looked at them. The threads were now the same dark-purple colour as his Chaos Power.

Was that update only for the skills I already had? I only hope it added the use of Chaos Power for the skills rather than replacing the use of Life Power or Toxic Power, otherwise Sarah, Kelly, and Luke can’t use my skills until they transcend.

John stopped his mind parts from using the absorbing technique and left the Scan on while keeping an eye on the Chaos Pool. Even after an hour of waiting, the Chaos Pool didn’t change at all.

The Scan must only take the unit of Chaos Power after the time is up. I didn’t see any Chaos Power disappearing and the Scan is working, so that must be it.

After he was done with the first lot of experiments, John decided to place five mind parts to use the absorbing technique, one part to use his Scan, and the last mind part free for him to think, hoping that it would make his Demon split personality busy for a while, too.

He then decided on his next experiment. He changed the Chaos Power into the light element and made it surround himself before using the element to push himself forward.

His speed increased immensely once again. The light his eyes were capturing began to turn into lines, causing him to think that the element had caused him to travel at the speed of light.

He arrived at the concentrated Chaos Power in only six hours.

His eyes couldn’t capture the sight at this speed and his body couldn’t slow down in time. He only knew he was there after his body went full speed into the barrier.

The concentrated Chaos Power bent for miles as the force from his movement’s speed he generated was immense. However, it didn’t break—he couldn’t get through and it eventually slowed him down before it started pushing him back.

The speed increased the closer it got to
