Cutting the Sky?

Days went by, and the day after Yu Qing joined, Sora again greeted a crowd of billions who wanted to be hired by him. Like this, Sora collected a bunch of points, while at the same time getting the chance to search for talents.

on the 3rd day in the capital, Sora's mind was connected to all the robots, clones, and even cyborgs. this way, all of them were in a way him, so their actions could be said to be Sora's actions, they could all now get XP for Sora. the clones Sora made of course could get XP, but when he instant his mind into a robot, that robot doesn't have the system,

with this, the amount of XP Sora was getting was huge, Sora even created a training room mind space, a space within his mind which was parallel to this world, Sora could even have those he had already fought appear, allowing him to train against those he knew, or even create a person within his mind who could counter him.

like this, Sora created countless robots linked to him, so they all trained on behalf of the main body. but then again, Sora was controlling them all, of course, who could have them do everything on their own and still connect XP for him, but that was too easy. he got more XP from pushing himself after all.

on the 4th day, Sora sensed a few powerful people appearing within the city in secret. these people were those far above the core formation realm, Sora felt danger from them all, something which even the 4 protectors didn't give him.

on the 5th day, the old man, an elder fire suddenly appeared within his mansions, something which caught Sora off guard. ever since he came first please within the alchemist tournament, he has given him the seed he wanted and that was it.

"where Hu Niu?" Elder fire asked with a frown seeing one of his disciples was nowhere to be seen, Sora just pointed upstairs, Hu Niu was currently sleeping because she was not willing to go out, and Sora was forced to stay within his mansions. after all, an evil Sora was running around.

"When you enter the holy ground, take her with you. keep her near you. here is a map, go to the spot I mapped, when the sword cries, plant this seed." He said calmly as he threw a seed at Sora, Sora caught the seed and found it was the seed of enlightenment, but it looked off. as if the old man did something to it,

"Don't ask any questions, you and she are to remain within this mansion for the next few days. during the competitions, you shouldn't take part, you are too freakish. you have the chance to bring 2 people with you, use this chance to pick those two people, one of them being Hu Niu... she must remain by your side." He said seriously, Sora looked at the seed in confusion before he nodded slightly and put the thing away

"... you're not going to ask any questions?" He asked with a frown, although he said don't ask any questions he was expecting some type of reaction.

"well, nope. I'm just a pawn, pawns don't ask questions." Sora said with a smile, Elder Fire smiled slightly hearing Sora's words, and shaking his head he turned while throwing a box towards Sora, who caught it.

"you're right, you're but a pawn. What's going to happen within this holy ground is going to be heaven-shaking. the fate of this world is going to rest upon what happens within there, we lose and this cage shall remain, but if we win... the sky shall be cut." He said softly as he disappeared, leaving Sora in shock,

'how did he know about the cage? is it the same thing with the first king? are they on the same page? What's with cutting the sky?' Sora thought with a raised eyebrow

'... most importantly, how could I still not sense this guy? although my senses are better than before, I still have to try and sense him or else. he must be someone above core formation realm.' Sora thought in deep thought about everything. his eyes should be able to see through anything, but the heat the old man made it show he could get the old man statues window, sighing softly Sora looked at the box which was given to him.

he tried opening the box, but in the end, he gave up as he couldn't open the thing even when going all out, with the lightning mod, and the doubled strength from the clothing, he found that this thing was impossible to open.

the next day, Sora got a new guest. while sitting outside hiring people, suddenly someone caught his intreast. it was a man who had bandages covering his harm, his eyes had this sharp look as if he was looking at the reincarnation of a sword.

"kid, I like that wooden sword on your back. how much for the sword?" He said while looking at the wooden sword on Sora's back, Sora looked at him for a moment before pulling out the sword, and looking at it in confusion. in his eyes, this wooden sword was normal, sure it bathed within his sword intent for so long its quality had improved, but it was something Sora made to look cool, he didn't go all out to create this sword he did it when craftsman was at a low level.

"This sword is not normal... it's a sword I created to fit my style in battle. I fear you would be holding the sword back if you were to use it." Sora said as he showed the part where the spear and sword connected, the man was stunned for a moment

"y-you created this sword? impossible, you're only a level 7 core formation," he said in shock, unwilling to believe what he just heard.

"crafting a weapon doesn't need a high level. one just needs the craft using their heart a weapon made by others would never truly be users. It's when you take the time to sit down and create the weapon from your heart could you truly say you created the perfect weapon." Sora said with a smile, the while looking at the man, who was confused for a moment hearing his words.

"... you a si... my name is Ye Lei." He said with a smile as he reached a hand out to take Sora's hands, Sora's eyes narrowed slightly, this guy was about to say sinner, but he stopped himself. Sora reached out and shook his hands, while also saying his name

"Well, I hope we meet again." He said with a nod before walking off, Sora watched him leave for a moment before falling into deep thought.

A plant spirit. the spirit grass sword,' Sora thought to himself, a plant spirit is a plant that gained wisdom. of course, people all over the world dreamed of refining them. they would be refined into pills and eaten, so they remained in hiding, yet today one of them appeared before Sora. compared to sinners, plant spirit had it worse.

after all, how would you feel being nothing more than food before others? to have the whole world hunting you down, to torture you to death in the process of refining? to make things worse, they are born pure and innocent, making them an easy target

"Ye Lei, where did you run off to?" a woman where a mask asked coldly upon seeing Ye Lei return, Yer Lei smiled slightly seeing her along with the others.

"I saw a sinner with the Asure bloodline. a pure one, most likely from the royal family. he is most likely the action from a few years back, the Wise Asura prince and the human princes." He said with a smile, stunning everyone within the room.

"to make things interesting, he has a wooden spear and wooden sword on his back. those two items are nearing the stage of gaining wisdom. he also seems to be the one who had created those two items." He said stunning everyone once more, and Asura used a weapon, this was never heard of before.

"What did you do?" the masked woman asked with a deep frown,

"I think a befriended him, at least thats what I think I did. he has such a pure heart for the sword, he can't be a bad person." He said with a smile, only to get on the head.

"how many humans who walk the path of the sword would not hesitate to cook you alive? wait until our leader arrives, she would have a few words to trade with you." the masked woman said angrily, while Ye Lei felt wronged.

"sigh, never truth human, beast, or demon. we have allied with the sinners a few times, but this one might not even know he is a sinner... we are treasures in their eyes, nothing more" the masked woman said helplessly, making everyone lower their heads slightly. this fate of theirs was nothing to be happy about, they lived in fear at every step they take.

"his name is Sora, and you would be right. he is the son of the wise Asure. and he is a freak." suddenly a woman wearing red robes appeared in the middle of the room. she had on a cover that hid others from seeing her upper body. everyone fell to their knees in respect seeing their leader suddenly appearing

"for now he is allied. but stay away from him if you have to, he is a person whose actions are changing fate. the future is blank because of him, so this chess game is covered in a dark cloud. which is perfect, it would increase the chance for me to cut the sky." She said while looking at the sky with a burning look.

the day passed, and Sora stopped seeking new people to hire and even stopped going out, it was getting dangours. if someone had a good look at him, they could sense his bloodline. for now, it was best to make sure everyone around him was in top condition to be of some use to him,

the princess was also staying at his place, indeed training under him. Hu Nie on the other hand hated being forced to train, she was quite weak and lazy. after all, how could you not be lazy when all the beasts around you would fight to do anything to make your life easier?

Sora would be annoyed with her if he was not curious about how she could get these beasts to do anything for her. he also believed the old man saw something within this little girl. which is why he took her in.

although he forced her to train, not wanting her to die before he got all her secrets, so like this a week went by. Sora didn't go out and only kept himself locked away, making countless abilities that could help him out. hell, he even had some fun with creating abilities, from creating an energy avatar which he called Susanoo, to creating strength meant technique to cover the body within a metal formed from one energy, which he called Armorment Haki.

but all of that was nothing compared to something he found out that one day he might be able to do. Super Saiyan transformations. by compressing one energy, and using that compressed energy to infuse it into one body, Sora found that one power could increase by 1.5 or so times, of course, this was harmful to the body.

there was a limit to how much energy a person can draw out, what Sora was working on was taking that energy within the dantian and compressing it to the limit, before having all of it wash out to infuse itself within the body. doing this does increase the body, and even causes the hair to stand straight up, and the pupils to completely disappear. but would the body be able to handle such a thing?

Sora needed to work on better compressing that energy and putting it to better use. this way, the increase in one's power and the side effect would be greatly weakened or even disappear.

there was of course other stuff Sora was working on, such as the Limitless. infinite existed everyone, this ability simply brings it out. the distance between 1 meter and 2 meters didn't seem such, but there were 1.000000001 meters, 1.000000002, and so on. Sora's goal with this ability was two enrage infinity, enough for everyone to understand that they are clones and always infinitely far apart.

Sora was also working on a technique that affects the memories of others, as it adds Sora to others' history, what did this mean? well, it meant that when facing Sora, you might suddenly realize that Sora is your best friend from that point in time, so how could you bring yourself to hurt your best friend?

at the same time, Sora would know of a person's memories through this, all he would need is to land an attack. it doesn't have to hurt you, it just has to touch you, the effect would this ability would be so light and unnoticeable that one would not realize what is happening

another ability Sora was working on was time skip. an ability that would allow Sora to skip time, what this means? well, imagine you're playing an online game and you see someone lagging, you shoot them but they don't die. only for them to come back from that lag state and kill you.

this is what Sora was working on, he skips forward in times by 0.0001 seconds, and within that time Sora is lagging, he can attack you and move around. meanwhile, everything you do is almost pointless as you are not attacking Sora, once that time is up, everything returns to normal, and the damage Sora landed on you shall take effect,

there were many more abilities in the work, and many more things Sora just couldn't wait to try out, luckily for him the holy ground was around the corner, and he could sense there would be many people for him to test his skills on.
