Chapter 2
When the knife was only one millimeter from the eye, it stopped. A foot had hit her, sending her reeling back with double the speed, but exactly then the weapons fired—lasers, missiles, and energy bullets that if they hit a planet, it would destroy it. The timing was perfect, like she knew that is what would happen.
Just then, he disappeared from the spot. Actual teleportation, thought the computer, appearing behind her with a fist more destructive than her entire arsenal of weapons and robots, nearing her face. She moved her head just slightly to the right, the punch missing, blowing her head, but still grazing the shoulder and blowing her entire arm apart. She flew with the speed of a bullet, stopping only after she knocked down a lot of trees. After she stopped, she got up and brushed the dirt off of her, no injury.
The nature was already healing her. While running back to fight, she thought, I can't hit him if I don't take the limits off.
When she got back, her robot was fighting him, already missing an arm and struggling to even move. She is the most powerful robot I have. She can fight with a galaxy-conqueror fighter level and not lose, but here she can't even last one minute.
"Limits off."
Wind started to blow around her, the Earth cracking. But her aura turned green, and flowers started to grow next to her. Roots started to attack him, black and strong like steel, while weapons fired energy bullets and lasers that could melt suns. Then her body took on a black-green metallic color, and she started to speak:
"Slow down."
"Blindness."
"Poison."
"Confusion."
"Space freeze."
"Gravity 1000x."
She closed her eyes and looked in her head for her most powerful weapon, then said:
"Dimensions Destroyer, I need you."
Then a sword appeared in her hand, half white, half black, the colors changing between them like flowing water, sometimes slow, sometimes fast. Then she ran towards him. She looked and saw him fighting the robot and the black roots while dodging the firing weapons, and doing all that with the weaknesses and curses from her powers.
But I will hit you.
Running towards him, with every step, she would collect more and more black-green aura on her body, the attacks intensifying more and more. When she reached him, everything stopped—the robot, the black roots, the firing—breaking apart, making place to strike with the sword. She had the sword high over her head, and when she brought it down, time, space—everything moved at a snail's pace. When the sword was just about to hit him, he raised his hand over his head in an X position, and over his hands, a transparent film appeared. When the sword made contact with his hands, it was like a supernova exploding, but all the power was directed at that point of contact. But even so, with 99.9% of the power directed to a point, the rest of the 0.01% blew everything apart near them—the robot, the roots, the weapons—everything was thrown miles from the point of impact.
When the dust settled, the sword was still pressed against his arms, but no wound was there, or even a little bit of blood—nothing. A weapon that can destroy an entire universe didn't even manage to scratch him. But it's okay, because...
"I managed to hit you. Even if I consumed all my energy and power, I still managed to hit you."
Looking at his arms and then at her:
"Where?"
"Look behind you."
And there, behind him, a golden root in the form of a fist touched him in the back.
"I won."
"After all that, you pass out and you still say that you won? Well, I have to give it to you this time; I guess I did get a little bit rusty."
After waking up and looking around, she found that everything was okay. Breathing a sigh of relief, there were no signs of battle. She saw her master cooking something that looked like a giant boar.
"Master, you really love to eat, don't you?"
"Well, yes. What man doesn't? Love passes first through the stomach, so if a girl knows how to cook a good meal, then 99% of the battle is already won.
Computer, how good are your cooking skills?"
Looking around and whistling, she avoided her master's gaze.
"Master, when did you make this awesome camp so fast?"
Looking at her, he thought, I should have known.
"Master, how much of your power did you use?"
"I didn't use any of my powers. I am at –100% power level right now. If I were to raise my powers to –50%, this universe would collapse. And if I were to raise my powers to 0%—to be at my natural level without any sealing to keep my powers in check—all the 10 dimensions would collapse, and if i would rise my power level at +10% then all 100 dimensions would be destroyed."
The computer just looked at him with wide eyes, finding it hard to believe.
After all this time, I am not even able to make him fight at –99%?
"How is that even possible? How many powers do you have then? And what was that transparent film that you used to block the last strike?"
"It's the truth. I only fought with the abilities of my body just now. If I used any of my supernatural powers, you wouldn't even have been able to move from the spot where you stood. I have over twenty supernatural powers. I'll tell you the ones I like to use the most:
Magic: This is the number one power I use for almost anything because there's no limit to it. I don't need to use incantations or anything like that. I just think, and it happens instantaneously, no matter the size or power of the magic.
Will: I have infinite will, meaning I am immune to mental or curse attacks. And I can even bend reality to my will if I want.
Telekinesis: I have complete powers over telekinesis, from mind reading to universal manipulation and everything in between.
Soul powers: I can attack directly your soul if I want, and all the sub-powers that belong to this category, from A to Z.
Element Commanding: Not controlling, but commanding the elements. That means I only have to think about what I want the element to do, and that's what happens. If I say, "Lightning, strike her," it will chase you to the ends of the world until it hits you. And I have 100% immunity to all elements.
Laser Eyes: I can see the entire spectrum of light, from heat vision to X-rays to night vision.
And there are still a few others, but I'll tell you about them another time, and i faked that i was affected by your curses."
She short-circuited a little bit, but there was no time for that because the food was disappearing. So, she took a piece of meat and, while eating, said:
"How can we live next to you anymore? Is there even any meaning to going against you? Because you could kill them in a heartbeat. Oh, now I know why you said you wouldn't promise not to kill them."
"Hahaha. The transparent film is my spirit or fighting aura. It's the first defense of my body, and as you've seen, it's pretty powerful, if I can say so myself."
"Are you bragging right now? I can't believe you, Master. Ah, I feel sorry for whoever crosses your path. They won't even know what hit them."
"Master, do you even need me?"
"Of course, I need you. I know we haven't spent much time together since I made you my disciple, because I've been traveling to other dimensions with my soul and you've been protecting my body. And by the way, thank you. I'm going to need you even more from now on. Don't worry, you'll become my most powerful disciple once I finish training you.
Now, I need you to teach me the Uniakea language."
Smiling and eating with pleasure, she said:
"Of course, Master. I will teach you on the way to the city. If we don't hurry and walk there, in about three days we'll reach the city.
I have our identities prepared. Do you want to keep your old name?"
"I haven't used it in a very, very long time."
"Master, I think you should use your original name."
Looking at her and remembering his name—and all the memories that came with it: the good times, the sad times, the angry times, and the simple times when he was just a normal human, living normaly just trying to survive another day at the job. Not being special or anything like that.
If I think better, it was harder to do my job then, than it is now trying to conquer all the dimensions there are.
