6•3 ; The Genius of Insanity

CLANG!

Two swords collided and The force generated from the collision rebounded each other, pushing the users back.

Yet before they could even stabilize their stance, the two blade users met again with ferocity and disregard for their own lifes.

At last, the clanging sounds ceased. leaving the fighters bloodied.

(You have improved again.) Said a girl with a pink ponytail, her voice emotionless.

(Do I even have a choice?) replied a boy with dark scarlet hair, his voice even more emotionless than the girl's.

(You don't. With how that madman had been crazily inputting that so-called false god energy or whatever into you, perhaps you really have no choice, at least for now, right?) The ponytailed girl's eyes turned sharp, trying to pierce through the scarlet-haired boy's cold eyes.

(You're as sharp as ever, huh,) the boy replied expressionlessly. Yet a hint of melancholy was evident in his voice, which went unnoticed by the girl.

(Are you planning to escape? If yes, then I advise you to know your limits.)

(Don't be ridiculous, even I know escaping from here is impossible, especially when we don't even know where we are,) the scarlet boy said while gazing into the dark expanse of the virtualized battlefield, filled with dead bodies.

The scarlet boy sometimes wonders: what if he didn't have the perseverance and determination to survive? Would he have succumbed to the cruel experiments done on them by that insanity of a scientist and become one of those dead bodies?

(To me, it doesn't matter where we are, nor do I care how much deeper into hell I fall. As long as I can exact revenge on 'them,' then even if I have to venture into the deepest part of hell, I will!) The pink-ponytailed girl's resolute words echoed in the virtual battlefield. Then she turned her back to the boy, vanishing into particles.

In a daze, the scarlet boy gazed at the disappearing back of the pink-ponytailed girl, reaching out his hand to grasp the fading image.

However, the next moment, the scarlet boy's eyes turned completely cold, devoid of emotion. A massive killing intent emanated out from his crimson eyes and bloodied body, threatening to shake the virtual and reality.

He gazed at the bloody virtual sky. (This time, I will ensure that you get your revenge. This time, I will make sure to keep my promise to you, Leena,' the boy with dark scarlet hair, Royale, muttered to himself.

In the deepest part of the unknown laboratory, a lab-coat-wearing, skinny figure, with even bones being visible to the naked eye, was scrolling through a transparent blue screen. His mind was simultaneously processing multiple data, evident through his sunken artificial eyes.

In history, he is known as the "Genius of Insanity; Mad Scientist," an existence that almost succeeded in hacking and reshaping the apex of perfection - the Nexus System itself. This earned him the epithet 'genius of insanity,' with intelligence even surpassing the savior who was considered to be a marvel in the scientific field. Thus, making him the most intelligent individual in the history of the universe.

Nonetheless, this mad scientist is a forbidden subject across all worlds, leading to anything associated with him being relegated to the deepest layers of 'Taboos'.

Even those who knew about him should have forgotten his existence due to the passage of time, as in their eyes, he is deceased. At least he should have been ~~

However, who said only the living could exist?

(Kukuku. He is barely worthy, despite his monstrous talents. There is only a 3% chance of him coming out of it alive. In the worst case, it might even damage his existence.) His creepy voice echoed in the silence, capable of sending chills through a person, regardless of their power rank.

His sunken gaze lingered on a scarlet-haired and crimson-eyed boy on the blue screen.

(For now, I should just observe and see his potential limit as a false-god.)

Finishing his calculations, the mad scientist altered the image on the transparent screen, this time displaying a floating island above a black hole-like sea. Surrounding it were a few intangible barriers with hidden functions.

(It seems that because of the forbidden pressure of {End - black Hole}, the barriers have weakened again. No wonder there have been tremors on {Geas CD} recently. I should probably fix them before any unforeseen errors occur," muttered the mad scientist as he started computing on the screen, rectifying the flaws on the barriers. In the end, he did one last click, promoting a percentage bar to appear on a corner of the transparent screen.

The percentage bar gradually began rising, from 1% to 2% and then to 3%. At this rate, the percentage bar will reach completion in 1 week, fixing all the imperfections in the intangible barriers..

(Now that's taken care of. I should focus more on searching for a vessel that could perfectly accommodate 'it', since I can't find anyone suitable in the worlds currently within my reach. Perhaps I should widen my search a bit more,) the madman murmured, contemplating.

(Nevertheless, if I widen my reach in the cosmos any further, the whereabouts of this island, Geas CD, might be traced. After all, no matter the era, there is no lack of talent, right? Kukuku, who knows, there might even be someone who has reached my level of expertise. Although, I highly doubt it. Kuku, after all, how can there be a second person who is as exceptional and unique as me in this vast cosmos? Kukuku, kukuku, kukuku!) Saying that, the madman laughed maniacally.

However, soon he stopped his eerie laughter, his body language returning to his usual creepy demeanor.

(Well, without taking risks, how could I still stand in this lab? Besides, the importance of it is paramount. No matter the cost, I must absolutely succeed. Failure isn't an option. After all, this has been my lifelong goal - the God Creation Project. To create a being of perfection, a True God.) ✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️
