Chapter 432 Transcended 2
He aimed the railgun forward, the sleek barrel glinting with dark red sparks.
A low hum vibrated in the air, buzzing with kinetic energy.
What once took ten seconds was done in an instant, and the railgun felt stronger than ever.
'I think I can push this further,'
He revved it up, pushing the energy levels higher, the vibrations growing more intense as he concentrated.
Five seconds passed .
Each seconds stretching out as he felt the energy building inside the railgun.
'Isn't this too much?,'
He wondered what would happen next as the railgun began to release excess energy.
But the thrill of unleashing such power overshadowed his doubt.
In addition, the land around him was already a graveyard—empty and lifeless—so he had no reason to hold back. Not that it mattered anyway.
Ten seconds passed .
"Obliterate!" he shouted, and pulled the trigger.
CLICK!
A brilliant beam of energy erupted from the barrel, illuminating the entire area and pushing the miasma away for a split second.
It was an immensely powerful attack, far stronger than anything he had unleashed before.
However—
There was no sound of explosion—just complete silence as the beam pierced through everything in its path without stopping.
'Did my railgun just turn into a fucking laser?'
He felt that calling it a railgun didn't do it justice anymore.
'I need to check it again,'
He aimed his railgun again, counting to five in his mind.
As he reached the five-second mark, he pulled the trigger, his gaze fixed solely on the barrel. The world around him faded into the background and everything slowed down.
When the projectile left the barrel, he watched in slow motion as it disintegrated into nothingness. The immense energy that had fueled it was too much.
But it did manage to concentrate and direct the pent up energy in a straight line, creating a laser effect that sliced through the air .
While it didn't have as much area of effect, its speed and penetrating power were off the charts. It was so fast that it couldn't be dodged by normal means.
'It's not the speed of light yet, but I feel like it's already close to 50%. Is my calculation correct?' he asked the system
[System: After a 10-second charge, it was around 45% of the speed of light.]
'Can I make it go faster?'
[System: Affirmative, but your current body durability can only handle up to 54%.]
Reign frowned, contemplating the system's response. "So, if I can push it to 54%, what happens if I go beyond that? Will I just break apart?"
[System: Exceeding 54% may cause severe damage to your body. It is not recommended.]
He shook his head, a smirk creeping onto his face. 'So I just need to just increase my durability. That's not an issue.'n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now that he had reached Demon King level, earning points would be easier.
He recalled a saying from his old world:
"Money creates money."
The principle was straightforward: the more resources you had, the easier it was to expand.
It was much harder to go from zero to a million dollars than it was to grow from one million to ten million, or from ten million to a hundred million.
Once someone reached a certain threshold, the momentum built on itself.
But for now, he had to get out of there. This place was too close to Green Valley City, and staying any longer could be risky.
The amount of energy he had released during his evolution was immense—far beyond anything he had ever unleashed before
'They've probably noticed it by now,' he muttered to himself.
He had always relied on the black miasma to disrupt any kind of detection or communication, but he wasn't foolish enough to become complacent.
Humans were resourceful, constantly finding ways to adapt and innovate.
Reign had seen it time and time again—no matter how many obstacles were thrown at them, they always found a way to push through.
Floating effortlessly in the air, Reign felt his evolved body naturally adjusting as he began to fly higher.
He had expected it to be more challenging to control with four sets of wings, but to his surprise, he found he could maneuver in the air much better than before.
SWOOOOSH!
Flapping his wings, he moved in the opposite direction of Green Valley, putting as much distance as possible.
But before he could leave the entire area, he noticed something was off in the distance.
THUD!
He landed on the ground and surveyed his surroundings, only to realize that he was now inside a massive canyon.
His evolution had terraformed the whole landscape, creating a deep hole that punctured the ground.
'How much energy did I release?' he exclaimed in shock, staring at the sheer scale of the destruction.
The canyon was even bigger than the one in Brentwood.
Seeing this, he felt like he had severely underestimated his growth.
'System, can I cause this kind of damage again if I really wanted to?'
[System: Affirmative. However, it would take the host five minutes to charge an attack of this magnitude and also to increase your durability.]
'Then how did this happen?'
[This destruction was merely a result of all your energy being released and then absorbed back by your body.]
'Five minutes? Huh, that's too long,' he shook his head, accepting that it was not a viable option at all.
In a fight against someone of his rank, every seconds count.
While they might not be as fast as him, he was certain they could kill him in seconds if he stood still, charging his attack like a sitting duck.
'I also can't use this in cities, because it would erase everyone along with their bodies,'
He paused for a moment and contemplated.
'I'll think about it later. I'm sure I can find a way to use an attack of this level in the future,'
With that thought in mind, he flew back into the air and continued his flight.
He wanted to find a secluded place to lay low and check his other rewards.
