chapter 40

"Found you"

"Shit"

Staring the slime in the eyes, I think, it doesn't have eyes. How does it see. We stare each other down.

"Why are you attacking me"

"I already said it. Your the first one like me I have met. I have met the primordial soul but not another like me"

"You met the primordial soul"

"Yes, technically were always in contact, as they are all present, but I met soul's consciousness a few years ago, she was living incognito in a world I visited. If you meet or are near the speeds consciousness, you will know"

"Damn"

"Yep. Now I want to compare to another like me. Damn, after three million years I finally meet another like me, this will be fun"

IM SORRY, DID HE JUST SAY THREE MILLION YEARS.

"I'm sorry did you just say three million years"

"Yeah why"

"Holy shit. That's a long time"

"Not really. Wait, how long have you had your speed for"

"Four years"

"Four years"

"Yep"

"FUCK, I FINALLY MEET SOMEONE LIKE ME, AND HE'S A DAMN NEW BORN. Haaaaa. Oh well, how about a little spar, it will let me see what your capable of. Don't worry I'll hold back. If I didn't you would die instantly, not even your connection to your home world could save you"

I'm sorry wait did he say, he's kidding right, RIGHT.

"No, I'm not kidding"

WHAT, CAN HE READ MINDS.

"No your just an open book"

"Fine, I'm good to spar"

"Awesome. lets go"

With that he appears In front of me and hits me with a slime tentacle. It's was agonising, my physical body was fine but my soul was hurt. It felt like it was wiped. Shit he doesn't hit the body but the soul, makes sense.

Using my speed, I get behind him and try to kick him. But my foot goes right through him like a ghost.

Backing away from him I try to figure out what to do. Pulling my fists back I Puch as fast as I can, approximately light speed. One two three four, left right left right. I launch a machine gun of punches.

PunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunchPunch.

Insane amounts of heat and force are being produced. However I can see it's not even fazing him, no, their avoiding him, how, it's like the heat and forces of my punches are alive and avoiding him. WTF is going on.

I can see he's doing something, but what. Thinkthinkthinkthink. That's it, his power is soul. He's creating and giving the force and heat a soul and controlling it.

"Very perceptive, I see you figured it out"

What do I do, I can't hit him, I'll just go through him, I can't hit him from a distance, and long range attack I launch we'll be brought to life and controlled, what do I do.

"Let me give you a piece of advice"

"Ha"

"Use your speed"

"I have been"

"No you haven't. You kicked me with your foot, you sent a bunch of head and shockwaves. You haven't used your speed to attack me"

What, use my speed. How, what does that mean.

"Let me show you"

With that he creates a knife. A knife made of pure soul force energy. That knife looks familiar, where have I seen it.

"See, your not using your speed. To fight me, you must use your speed"

With that he throws the knife at me. To distracted by the familiar knife I barely react till it's right in front of me. Out of pure instinct, I deflect the knife into the distances.

Following the knife, I open me eyes in shock. That's. I see the knife stab into a transparent Ghastly slime like creature, A soul. That's, this is, Im, Impossible. While I am having my mental freakout, I watch the soul. My soul leave the multiverse barrier.

"Whats got you so freaked out, were still fighting"

"That soul"

"HM what soul"

Following my eyes my opponent sees through the barrier, seeing the soul impaled on his knife.

"Oops, oh well the knife will protect it for how long it's around, a few days top's. Why so worried, there are plenty more soul's just like that one"

While I'm still freaking out about what just happened, I'm to distracted to realise what I'm doing or saying, So I stupidly respond.

"That's, me. That's my soul, I remember this, it's what changed my fate"

Hearing me, he's shocked. Looking between me and the soul, he reached out and flexes a bit of power.

Seeing this I freak out. Shit, what did I just tell him, why did I tell him that. To my surprise though, he doesn't destroy soul, instead he strengthens the knife, turning in into a complete weapon.

"Why"

"What"

"Why did you do that. you could have easily killed me"

"Why would I kill you. Do you realise how rare existences like us are, why would I prevent the birth of one of us. Besides, I felt the knife on you, that's how I found you in the first place, I just couldn't figure out how you got it. Now I know"

"I see"

"Now come on. Lets fight, remember use your speed"

"Right"

Following his instructions, I feel my speed, I cycle it through my body.

"Don't limit yourself to those circuits, flow it through your body, muscles, bones, organs, cells, atoms, soul. Through your entire being"

Follow his instructions, I do exactly that. The result is instant, I can feel the difference. If before it was like grabbing water with my hands to drink, now, I'm in the water, I can drink as much as I want without limit. Despite how much energy and power there is, I don't feel danger from it, it's a part of me, I'm it, it won't, no, can't hurt me.

"Yes, that it, now, come"

With that he comes towards me, I throw a punch, and this time, I hit him. No my speed hit him.

Sending him flying, I marvel at what happened, I see, he has completely become a soul. I have to use a ether a soul related power or something equally as powerfull. He has control of the greatest soul power in existence so, the only thing capable of hurting him is an equal power, Primordial speed.
