Unfathomable Power

The Viper Cobra hissed, A few drops of acidic saliva came out of its mouth, and it instantly melted the grass in front of it.

Gabimaru's eyes shined excitingly, staring at the viper cobra's horrifying appearance.

Why is the boss looking at it like it's some kind of cute animal?" Ganz wondered, confused by Gabimaru's expression.

Gabimaru, who was used to seeing hideous creatures before, had adapted weird tastes due to watching several worlds filled with horrifying beings.

He, who did not know about the existence of human appearances, became fond of the outrageous appearances of the monsters and demons.

[Warning: The hostility level of Viper Cobra has increased to 100%]

"Leave this to me, boss." Ganz said while stretching his arms.

Gabimaru took a few steps back, "Okay, Be careful." He replied, excited to watch their fight.

Back when he was still a demi-god that oversees different worlds, all he could see was fighting. Every world to which he was assigned always had wars occurring.

Unlike the other demi-gods who watched over beings that lived a different life filled with emotions, Gabimaru could only watch infinite battles on the worlds he had been observing.

Worlds where the strong ones prey on the weak, no emotions are added, no talking, just slaughtering. That is why his ridiculous taste for exotic monsters grew weirder as time passed.

"Ganz, make sure to defeat him! I have been watching the Gilgamesh race for decades. Show that cute snake how it's done!" Gabimaru yelled, encouraging Ganz to show him his full potential.

Ganz then turned around and responded, "Yes, boss." He lowered his head, slightly bowing. Just as he gazed upon the floor, the viper cobra instantly bit his head, leaving him headless.

"What the!? I told you to focus!" Gabimaru yelled.

But Ganz's headless body still stood in his position. Slowly emitting steam from his neck and regenerating his head. "I'm sorry, boss, I got distracted." He said this and immediately used strength enhancement and jumped towards the Viper Cobra.

The viper cobra hissed and continuously spat acid towards Ganz, but due to his immortal body, he did not care and rushed at the viper cobra. Ready to swing his fist.

As he got closer, he swung his fist and hit the viper cobra's neck, instantly shattering it to pieces.

"Woah!" Gabimaru blurted, surprised by Ganz's strength.

The viper cobra's body and head were split into two with just a single punch from Ganz. Leaving a huge impression on Gabimaru, who has loved the Gilgamesh race since before.

"Freaking awesome!" He yelled with his hands above his head, smiling brightly as he ran towards Ganz.

[Notice: His strength cannot be compared to yours.]

Huh? Am I stronger than him in terms of physical prowess?" Gabimaru asked through thought communication.

[Answer: Yes, your strength power has been concealed by me since you might accidentally misuse it.]

How can I tell the difference in our power?" He asked.

[Answer: Mana energy is the measurement of an individual's entire prowess, whether it's strength, agility, skill, endurance, or ability. Mana energy serves as the combat power of an individual.]

So Ganz, who one punched the Viper Cobra, has 1,000 mana energy, right? So that means..."

[Answer: Yes, And yours far exceeds what you can ever imagine. His mana energy looks like a pond in comparison to yours.]

So, how can I unseal the restrictions of my power?" Gabimaru asked, clenching his fists as he stared at them.

[Answer: Restrictions can be lifted through me, so would you like to remove the restrictions and use your full power?]

[Y/N]

Yes, I should try and see how strong I am. Keke!"

[Restrictions have been removed.]

[Mana energy is steadily being consumed]

[Releasing 100% of Demi-God: Gabimaru's Power]

Ganz stumbled, wearing a horrified expression as he gazed towards the broad back of Gabimaru, who was exuding an overwhelming aura that was so dense that it could even suffocate Ganz entirely.

"What is that unimaginable power..?" Ganz stuttered, witnessing Gabimaru's true power.

Gabimaru stared at his hands. He could feel his strength being released.

"I somehow feel light." He murmured to himself and faced in the eastern direction.

Hey System, Are there any monsters in the eastern direction?" He asked.

[Notice: Three monster dens comprised of goblins and glade wolves have been spotted within 40 meters in the eastern direction.]

"Good, I should test my strength." He mumbled and instantly threw a punch out of nowhere, aimed at the eastern side.

A strong wind broke through the trees, acting as if it were an aftereffect that even made tremors and cracked the ground. Instantly incinerating everything that got in its way.

A large puff of smoke occurred, concealing the entirety of the incident, and a loud impact occurred as if it hit a mountain that crumbled excessively.

[Notice: All monsters have been eliminated.]

[Experience points have been acquired]

[Your level has increased to 78]

[Mana Energy has been increased to 20,100]

[Opening Status Window]

[Name: Gabimaru]

[Title: Black - Demi-God of the Darkness]

[Level: 78]

[Race: Human - Male]

[Mana Energy: 20,100/20,100]

[Usable Skills: Spatial Wormhole, Dark Projectiles, Shadow Binding, Shadow Strike]

After the mist disappeared and scattered, Gabimaru could not believe the scenery in front of him. It was as if God himself chopped the entire place down, leaving nothing but dirt and broken trees while the very ground crumbled into pieces.

"What the hell?" Ganz uttered, Completely surprised after seeing Gabimaru's strength firsthand.

Gabimaru was in awe, unaware that his power could truly obliterate everything.

"It was still at 30%, yet it could destroy this much. I should really conceal my strength." He mumbled, Afraid of misusing his power that can destroy everything on its way with just a mere aftereffect of his punch.

[Concealing....]

[Notice: Restrictions have been added.]

[You can now release your power partially through percentage order.]

The ominous, dense aura he exuded instantly seeped back through his body and disappeared.

Ganz was still sitting on the ground, trembling after what he had just seen.

"B-boss... you are tru-truly amazing... Hehe." He stuttered, showing hints of being terrified.

Gabimaru turned and saw Ganz's terrified expression. "Don't worry, I won't use it on you." He said and winked.

Ganz flinched and shrieked after hearing Gabimaru's sarcastic words. "Hehe, if demi-gods were to fight in this world, I'm not sure if this world would survive." He said, Imagining the outcome of a demi-god's battle.

Gabimaru pondered, I guess a fight amongst demi-gods might really destroy this world. But I don't care since this isn't my world anyway. I must do anything to destroy those traitors who proclaimed themselves as the new gods of this new world."

[Notice: You mustn't destroy this world yet until you've regained your demi-god abilities.]

Gabimaru paused, Huh?"

[Notice: You are God's candidate. You must not destroy this last world until you become the new God, or else everything will be disclosed and turn into nothingness.]

God's candidate!? What are you talking about!?"

[Answer: Acquiring the Omniscient Eyes means God has successfully acknowledged you as his successor. So until you fully regain your demi-god abilities by following this new world's rules through leveling, you mustn't cause anything that might rupture this world.]

So I should be more careful when fighting? That's why you've concealed my strength?"

[Answer: Yes, your strength is unfathomable and can lead to this world's destruction if not properly handled.]

But what about the other demi-gods? They also possess the same strength as me, right?"

[Notice: You possess the all-seeing eye, the omniscient system which no one else could grasp. Their power can't be compared to yours, especially in the mortal realm where the demi-god's abilities are being sealed.]

Gabimaru grinned unknowingly, realizing that he has the ability to brutally avenge his Creator. But in spite of his strength, he must be careful since he might accidentally destroy this world.

And once the world of Pandora is destroyed, everything will be turned into nothingness. That was the last restriction God placed after creating the world of Pandora.

Until a new god arises, the final world should not be destroyed yet.

"But first and foremost, I must find their locations. Since the Omniscient System can't detect them since they're no longer celestial beings, I must first explore this world and search for clues as to where they are hiding." Gabimaru stated, concluding his decision on venturing into the vast world of Pandora.

Ganz stood up and realized that his boss's determination could not be fathomed. "I guess I'm following the right one, my brothers." He mumbled, reminiscing about his brethrens.

"Let us go now, Ganz. The great sun is almost setting." Gabimaru said, while Ganz nodded and followed him from behind as they headed in the northern direction.
