5 Pride | Chaos

Since young even back on Earth, Kai has this tendency to get easily pissed off when someone dares to look down or mock him.

it wasn't clear to him why but every time someone did that sort of thing it annoys him greatly as if something deeply hidden inside him seems to flare up.

He will have this urge to punish, kill, destroy, or teach the other party a lesson that they won't forget.

Thankfully, he wouldn't go as far as to go out of control over these emotions of his.

Time passed bye, and he later deduced that this might be 'Pride'

Still if he didn't get back to the people that in his eyes had wrong him, a sleepless night and an annoying tingling wouldn't give him a piece of mind.

This tendency of his gave him a number of problems back on Earth.

One of the reasons why he decided to live a life of a sagely hermit is because of this tendency.

He did not just become an 'Elemental' during his time of isolation he also developed a clear mind to suppress this 'Pride' of his.

At some point even before becoming a 'Elemental' he had already killed a person.

This person is a serial killer, he unluckily stumbled upon an alleyway when he was on his way home.

His body just moved on its own defending himself from the serial killer's thrust and in retaliation he instantly breaks the serial killer's neck without a second thought.

Strangely enough even after killing someone 'a human' he didn't felt remorse or regret.

/On must take note that, that time he is nothing but a normal person./

Making sure to clear all the evidence he left the scene.

Not bothered by the fact that he just killed another person.

For him to be nonchalant about killing another human being is definitely not normal.

/Back to the current scenario/

The goblin shaman dared to look down on him as if it had his life in the palm of its hands.

Kai's eyes turned frosty…

The goblin shaman took note of this abrupt change on him and frowned.

'The air around this human had change.'

The goblins' shaman muttered as all the hairs on its body stood up, and cold sweat began dripping on its back.

/Trembling/

Feeling a great danger and an Instinctive fear for the very first time since the fight began the goblin shaman quick move.

It raises its staff and forcibly orders its minions to attack Kai.

[A hidden piece has been awakened within you.]

[Chances of completing the hidden pieces have a high possibility.]

[Eliminate the enemy that had dared to look down on you.]

A monotone female voice ring in his head accompanied by a golden holographic screen.

Is this the voice of the world?

He questioned but already knew the answer.

He Instinctive knew that the voice is the 'voice of the world' the enigmatic entity the watches over the world.

The moment one receives the favor of the world they are guaranteed the privilege to communicate with the world.

/This communication is one-sided though/

The voice of the world is like a super computer Ai that manages the working of the world.

It rewards selected individual or guides them, voice of the world is a neutral party, and it didn't even care if the world is doom.

It only does its task and that is to manage the inhabitants, granting them rewards based on their achievements guiding them to higher heights.

Nothing more nothing less…

This time Kai is received the so-called guidance from the 'voice of the world'.

A voice that's either sentient but also not.

/It's complicated so don't bother trying to understand my line of thoughts/

It lacks the most crucial part for it to be a sentient entity and that is the so-called emotion.

An existence that lacks emotions, regardless of what form it took is nothing but a programmed machine.

Even a machine can be a sentient existence so long it develops emotions.

As for this so called 'voice of the world/spirit of the world' it clearly isn't sentient.

It only does its directive…

A hidden piece within me!

That sounds good…

I don't really have an idea about myself.

Possessing awareness the moment I was born.

Power to see the natural elements of the world and ability to easily manipulate such natural elements.

Perfect photographic memory, high-speed comprehension speed, and terrifying mental power.

Soul that as bright and dark as the universe, hiding near infinite power.

With all this anomalies surrounding me another abnormality or whatnot don't really matter that much.

I even got to reincarnate while also possessing my former life's memories.

I even got an achievement the moment I have awoken my awareness of this world.

Just what am I?… no, the better question is, who am I?

Chaotic essence gathered on the palm of his hands.

Controlling chaotic essence isn't really simple as cracks began appearing in his right hand where he tried to compress the chaotic essence.

Natural chaotic essence possessed the traits of both destruction and creation and the moment these two traits are concentrated in a single point.

What do you think will happen?

"I don't really like using this baby cuz it's too dangerous even for me…"

I muttered.

I held the concentrated chaotic essence that ravages not just the palm of my hand but my entire hand.

"Sir, Kai…"

Tessa at the back saw what's going on my hand and screamed in worry.

She also got hit by an arrow due to this action of hers.

She's worried about me.

She had good eyes.

I better treat her nicely after this.

It's decided…

The goblins shaman's eye widened on both shock and fear after realizing the danger the ball of concentrated chaotic essence entail.

"H-human, how can you control…"

I gave the goblin shaman an annoyed look before saying.

"Can't you stop talking? Your voice pisses me off…"

I took a stance similar to a baseball peachier, a wide grin on my face.

The goblin shaman ignored my smirk as it ordered its men.

"S-shield me…"

The goblin shaman knew that my attack cannot be defended or block easily. So, it used its authority, making use of the other goblins forcing them to shield him from my attack.

'How foolish.'

I thought.

"Chaos Sphere…"

I muttered the name of the attack before letting it go, targeting the gathering of goblins directly aiming it straight to the goblin shaman.

The chaos sphere shot at a speed that broke through the sound barrier.

The goblins shaman and its men couldn't even follow its movement.

The moment it touches the first goblin being used as a shield, it explodes.

I jump back distancing myself a couple of meters.

The spell users wouldn't usually get damage from their creations but the 'Chaos Sphere' I've shot is a natural phenomenon I guided and not created.

Guiding and creating are two different things.

Moreover, the energy use in the attack didn't come from me.

The range of the explosion was miniscule, but the power contained within that was released is enough to completely decimate an entire village if it is an area of effect spell.

Boom!

A loud explosion that shook the entire land reverberated.

In its last moments before it got devoured by the explosion the goblin shaman's eyes was bloodshot in disbelieve unable to accept its fate.

The power of chaos is truly otherworldly.

Unfortunately, such destructive power costs big.

His right arm was missing.

It turned into dust together with the goblin shaman.
