Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 192: The Man Above All

As the spatial tear was opened, Hegerus found that the playtime was over.

Taking a hold of Gauthama's wrist, Hegerus pulled him and one of his legs rose and slammed onto Gauthama's chest. Buddha had already received a large amount of damage, but his health was still in millions.

Jumping up on his feet, a flying dropkick sent Gauthama flying for a mile and he crashed onto multiple buildings. The streets became chaotic and the Gauthama sprang back on his feet and shot up into the sky. What he saw made him scream!

"NOO!!"

The short timespan of hundredth of a second was enough for Hegerus to stop all four of them from entering the System Space. He held Lee by his neck in his left hand, and Lee found Tubian's grip extremely deadly. An immense pressure had descended on the trio and they were on their knees and felt suffocated. Their faces expressed the agony of every cell on their body crying in despair. Hegerus stood before the spatial tear, and it slowly closed.

Gauthama came down on Hegerus like a meteor, and his aura was as fierce as a fiery tornado. The calm and collected Buddha had erupted forth to save his companions. The limitations he had imposed on himself were removed and people on the streets saw something coming down from the sky.

Panic enveloped over a large area and people fled, holding onto their lives. The twin stars leaning onto the horizon had the background music of screams and despair. Within a few minutes, the streets were vacant and lifeless.

"Gauthama, you are naive, you always have been. You did not want to live a different life on your second chance. You preached the necessity of being calm and collected. Though Yava might have allowed to live as you like, many of us hated you for who you are."

Hegrus raised his right hand and a ball of pure darkness shot from his clenched fist. It collided with Gauthama and his trajectory was deviated. The darkness slowly penetrated the cloud of serenity and irritated Gauthama.

He fell on a building with disorientation and discomfort. Where Gauthama had fallen, the building sustained heavy damages. Soon the building collapsed inward, and onto the Buddha who was struggling to stand up.

Hegerus smirked as he saw the cloud of dust rising up. Lee caught the glimpse of the scene, and he felt as if his heart was being stabbed. His completely restrained condition only let him swing his eyes around and see the trio fallen on the roof flat.

Hegerus turned to Lee and brought his face close to him.

"We do not have any enmity between us. But you made two mistakes. One was to befriend that rogue Tubian who ran away like a coward, and preached all time. Two, you killed the favorite little brother of Yava, the mighty.

But you are lucky. Yava does not want to kill you. Instead, he wants the souls of your familiars. So I am here to collect the compensation.

Now that I remember, Yava had not told anything specific about you. So I am free to be your judge. Since Gauthama found you as gifted, I am taking your soul."

The grip was tightened further, and Lee felt his consciousness fading. His hands were strong, but were never enough to even scratch the Tubian's skin. Lee felt tired and his hands became sloppy.

"BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE ONCE MORE TO DO THAT!!"

A thunderous roar resonated through the atmosphere. The voice was filled with pride and strength, and lightning flashed to its submission.

Xavi Godson, the president of the Cultivator's guild was about to mobilise a troop of cultivators under his direct leadership to the distressed areas of the city, when the sound resonated throughout the land. Quickly ascending into the air, he saw lightning strikes repeatedly striking where the people have been reported to see destruction.

Even Hegerus was stunned by the unanticipated voice. For a moment, his focus was dissolved and the trio found a moment of relief. Lee found the sound extremely familiar, and a faint smile crept up his face.

Suddenly, a spatial tear was torn open in front of the Tubian of Malice. It was quick and unexpected, that the foot that originated from the darkness inside was planted firmly on the tubian's chest.

The strength delivered by the kick was only enough to make him stumble backward. Lee and the trio were released from the captivity. The psychological impact of the atmosphere played a major role in their release.

'D, you exhibitionist oldman.'

Lee raised his torso on his limbs and smiled at the figure which exited from the System Space. The familiar face saw Lee struggling to stand up, and scanned around to see the trio at the verge of death.

"Perhaps you might have forgotten about the man above all, the Dimension Sovereign."

Long white hair danced in the breeze with elegance. The oldman's face had a blank expression, but with a tinge of anger and seriousness. The white robe with purple floral design was quite an attraction, and the lightning gave its background support to him.

Though Dnekewy was a soul integrated into Lee's being, any danger pointed towards Lee automatically becomes his problem. D immediately created a temporary vessel to contain his soul while he teaches the arrogant Tubian a lesson.

Hegerus became aware that the person in front of him is the Dimension Sovereign. He sensed that the person is not physically alive, and only his soul exists. But that soul can deal some serious permanent damage if he goes close. His mind calculated and determined that the chances of victory are not less. Since the so-called Dimension Sovereign cannot exert the full extent of force, Hegerus decided to gamble.

Like a lightning, Tubian of Malice vanished and closed the distance. His hand caught the neck of Lee, but his focus was set on the trio. A much denser miasma spread over those three and their souls were slowly and visibly being separated from their bodies.
