The rain was loud, and the sounds of clashing bullets and weapons rang in my ears... I stepped on the body under me, and I looked around myself...
Bodies I lost count somewhere after 100...
And just as I was breathing and taking in the world around me, another masked man jumped at me, throwing a knife, and behind him were many others with staffs; some had guns, others had swords, and some even had old knight swords and weapons from old times...
I jump back while jumping. I grab the knife that was coming for my neck and spin, throwing the knife back at the man who threw it at me. The knife shoots through the air and hits the man's neck, making him bleed on the spot, but the others don't stop and keep rushing me. I grab one of the staffs that was coming for my head, and my hands glow golden before I twist my whole body and throw the man with his staff at the other group of people...
And then there was a dance with both of my fists turning golden! I rush through all the people coming at me!
BOOMM!! CHASHHH!!! WHOOSH!!!
Punch, dodge, punch... and again and again it kept going on... till all of them were around me and jumping at me, and there was no way for me to dodge...
I smile and clench my fists and swing both of them down hard and fast!
SMASH!
The ground breaks apart, sending huge chunks of rocks, dust, and sand everywhere... but I keep moving fast, grabbing arms, legs, and necks and twisting hard and throwing them around at others. I was using their bodies as weapons! while using the rocks in the air as stepping stones to move even faster!
A golden line flashes through the field, and then there was nothing... just the calm rain. My hands were bloody, and the Ten Rings on my forearms glowed strongly...
But just as I was taking a breath, the Punisher! coming out of the woods and starting to shoot me point-blank! And without a second to think, I jump back and shoot one of the Ten Rings out with the flick of my wrist!
And Frank, with ease, dodges it, and he rolls on the ground, and without a hint of hesitation, he starts to fire again! And without wasting a second, I shoot another ring out from my other hand!
I wave my hands around fast; the right one, which he dodged, comes back flying, and with the snap of my fingers, the 2 rings in the air fly against each other, making them clash in front of me, making a small golden shockwave…
SHINGGG!!!
The shockwave blows the bullets out of the air…
But not even a second later, I grab one of the guns on the ground and shoot without stopping, dumping the whole mag! in the smoke, and then there was nothing. It felt like he was dead only for a second before I flicked my wrist once more, and one of the rings flew fast behind me, hitting someone and sending them flying... Back, and now in view, I shot once...
"Ah, I thought I would only use the rings to make my chi and body stronger, but in the end I need to use them, huh? I was wondering where you were. Hiding all this time, you knew I was stronger and faster than you, so you waited for a chance when I was tired, huh?" I throw the gun back on the floor and watch the body. It was the Punisher; he had a bullet hole on his forehead...
System Simulation Ending
...//...///..../
I take the VR headset off my head, stretch my body a little, and yawn.
"Sir, you have broken your record from last time. You have beaten more than 120 trained armed units. Not only that, you took down the Punisher with ease this time. Your body is inhuman... Not only that, those rings also created a strong effect. I don't know how that is possible, but those rings are emitting forces of an RPG..." I smile hearing Ava's analysis...
For the past week I have been going to college like normal, but once I am back home I have been studying the Omnitrix and the Ten Rings, and I have to say the training was fruitful... I can use the Rings like they are my own hands with ease now, but the craziest thing is that I have found so many ways to use the Rings to the point it feels like magic; it's not even realistic...
The adaptability of these rings is off the roof; they can change their size, grow as big as a plate, and grow small to fit my forearms, and they also move at subsonic levels of speed at their max speed. In fact, they almost break the sound barrier... They're just a little slower. The force they can emit is unknown. Even as Gray Matter, without actually testing, I could only assume these rings can maybe throw out 10 kilotons of TNT force at their MAX output...
Do you understand how insane that is? for comparing The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II had a yield of about 15 kilotons of TNT... Yeah, these ten rings on my forearms are just a little weaker than a nuke... that's not even funny... in the movie Shang-Chi never uses the rings like this... ok, maybe at the end where he throws all the ten rings at the Dweller-in-Darkness...
But still they did not tell anyone that the Ten Rings was close to a nuke! ... but then again it's also kind of my fault because as Gray Matter I did make a way to use 100% of the Ten Rings to make a bomb pretty much by integrating concepts of motion, rotation, and Chi as energy clashing with each other in a clever and scientific way to bring out nuke-like force.... Wait, I should name this move...
Crimson Annihilation? Yeah, crimson, because the rings glow red when I try to use them in this way, and also annihilation, because if I do someday end up using this move, it will annihilate everything, even me! Because I can't really control the explosion, once it blows up, it will take me with it... But again, I am sure the Omnitrix will keep me alive, but the thing is I still can't use this because everything around me would be pretty much done for...
Right now, even without the Omnitrix... I would be a mid-Avengers-level threat.... Well, to be honest, that's just with the Ten Rings. If you take them away from me, I am again just a superhuman with a few Chi tricks at best... But still, this is good news. To be honest, I never expected the Ten Rings to be this strong. This is a good thing for me and also a bad thing because my theory about this world being stronger than shown in the movies might come true...
But that's just a theory... For now, the other thing I have been working on... the Omnitrix. Good news, I may have a breakthrough soon... Bad news: nothing in the past week. It seems like I have to use the Omnitrix more and also test it in public... but how can I do that? If I do that, then my cover will be blown! Ugh! To be honest, I want to test myself badly. It's like I have all of these weapons, but I can't use any of them!
Yeah, I feel this need, this craving, to go out and beat someone with the Ten Rings, to be honest, but I can't just do that... Wait, Kilgrave! Yeah, if everything goes normally, Jessica should meet him a few days from now. I could not calculate the date they met perfectly, but I could guess a few good dates with the help of Gray Matter...
Ah, some action is near. After I get Kilgrave, I would have to try to replicate his powers... but this also gives me a new pawn... or should I say ally? Jessica Jones... I already have the Ten Rings under me. Well, I say that, but the Ten Rings are not really under me; more like they're under Xu, but Xu is under me...
Should I build a team? of people who work for me? Now that's a good idea... No, more like a needed idea. There are some people who die without showing off their true powers or some people who go down the bad path... If I could bring all of these people under me... I would truly be unstoppable... You know the saying, "A brave soul can face a thousand foes, but a king holds the power to change the game." True power comes after ruling...
I step outside my room right into the bathroom to take a bath. I look at myself in the mirror. I had changed so much... ever since I got to this world, now I looked so much better, not skinny anymore...
I have changed. I am no longer the deadbeat brother or the emo boy... ha, change...
