138 High Level, Level 1 Immortal

BOOM!

An explosion resounded throughout the planet that was shrouded in a dark purple energy. The dark energy held a golden outline that could mesmerize most people.

Saber's eyes shone with a dark purple light while gazing at the millions of dots thousands of feet below. On the earth of the planet, all residents, mattered not if they were men or women, children or elderly, they were all enshrouded in dark purple energy or aura that slowly caused their bodies to wither away...

Saber's strength continuously rose higher and higher as he realized that any of his casual movements would cause loud explosions. It was simply because every time he moved, he'll find himself in a different location, leaving behind a deafening sonic boom.

"It seems my power is rising soo quickly that my natural ability to masterfully control my power isn't yet able to be used...!" Saber stated with a smile on his face. Yet, it was a smile that lasted for merely a few moments as an intense heat took over his body.

If one was present, they'll realize that there was not a single living lifeform on the planet. Another shocking and somewhat beautiful sight would be the scene of a light shooting down from the dark skies.

It was a light that radiated immense heat that caused cracks to form in its surrounding space. It was a bright burning object that shot across the skies so quickly that a few instances after one realizes its existence, they would be left shocked by the sudden massive explosion that would then take place.

BOOM!

Saber's body which was enshrouded by an immense amount of heat would then crash on the ground as if one was present, they'll see the sight of shockingly enough, Saber gritting his teeth in pain!!!

"H-How...W-Why?" While tears trickled down his eyes, Saber mumbled. As the second strongest, he couldn't believe he was left in such a state. He wanted to know what enemy had dared to attack him, and most importantly, how the hell was he somehow strong enough to even harm him...!

"Your strength rose so quickly that your body has yet to adapt..!"

The voice of Goldy entered Saber's ears as his light sparkled. He had finally realized what was happening to him as the memories of all the humans he consumed including the memories of those of the golden-skinned race then went on to be processed by his mind.

ARGH!!

Saber growled in pain as he then thought.

'Yes, this makes sense. The body of all humanoid lifeforms in this solar system, even if slightly different, still works somewhat similarly. Every cell contains energy inside it, and when they die, it releases the energy throughout the body, strengthening the body.

Theoretically speaking, if a human consumes a vast amount of energy in a mere instant, their cells would be unable to excrete the energy in time, prolonging the time taken for it to die and be replaced with other cells.

When this happens, the cells will continuously absorb energy until it then goes on to explode from being unable to handle such a large quantity, harming the inside of the human...

And, even though I'm not a human, and my body shouldn't be anywhere near human anatomy, it seems this same thing has happened to me. Whatever inside my body that works as a cell was unable to safely release the energy and it exploded, causing my insides immense damage.'

Saber thought with a smirk on his face. He couldn't believe that his greed for power and breaking free from his original's fate, caused him to overlook his safety.

"Hehehe..."

Saber giggled because of his stupidity. It was a creepy giggle that caused the expression of Saber's master, Goldy, to freeze. Saber's giggle didn't stop though, as shockingly, he slowly got up to his feet.

Sigh!

"Such a pain in the ass...." He mumbled under his breath. He then glanced at his palms which were releasing a tremendous heat. His eyes blazed as one of them transformed into a dark purple star-shaped pupil.

"Ahhhhh... it sure feels good to enter the High Level, Level 1 Immortal Realm. And to add on my race transformation, even though it's a flawed version, my current strength can't be compared to any other Level 1 Immortal..."

When saying such words, his eyes turned cold while his aura that enshrouded the whole planet dissipated. His eyes gazed at the clear golden skies with a killing intent reeking out of them...

"I am the strongest Level 1 Immortal alive... Well, I am the strongest Level 1 Immortal alive who is present in the world of the living. It seems my bastard counterpart has also risen his strength, otherwise, I would have already met him..."

Saber coldly uttered these words while a pair of blood-red wings began forming behind his figure. His body slowly morphed as his appearance turned to that of his true form.

"Count yourself lucky, if I wasn't excited to view a new solar system, I would have devoured even you..."

RUMBLE!!

While gazing towards the earth's crust, Saber declared in an icy tone. The very planet shook by his threatening words as anyone who knew of Saber's act in devouring a planet's core, would realize that Saber had just done something not many could claim to have done.

Saber had just threatened a planet itself...!!!

('Second' Saber's POV)

Cum.

An ocean of sticky cum.

That's what traveling through space with your body feels like. I would much rather travel through space with a ship but I am unaware of what type of technology those of that solar system have. They might be able to sense it.

Not only that, but I am also unaware of the reason why it seems that I am unable to contact my counterparts with our mental connection. It seems that I either have to use the gadgets of the Exypnos to contact them, or enter the solar system and see if my connection would be re-established.

Hmm, speaking of those Exypnos people, I just remembered. I guess I should inform them I am not going to be in this solar system for a while...

"Oy, little guys, along with my other selves, I'm going to be conquering my neighbors...The other solar system will be ours..." I said to them through the wristwatch on my hand. A holographic screen of one of these race's member's cute small bodies could be seen as I gazed at him with my cold eyes that held traces of killing intent.

Even though it'll scare this little soul, I like it like that. Unlike my origin, I do not have an inner self... Similar to all other counterparts, I'm simply a remnant of what origin Saber is.

And I am the sadistic side of origin Saber that he continuously suppresses. With the assimilation with his inner self, he could easily suppress his sadistic side, along with mortal sins, but for me, well...

"B-But...Great Lord Emperor, if something's to happen to you. We haven't any clue what's in that Solar system... What if there are lifeforms stronger than even you..."

What he said makes sense, but, I would never get stronger if I am to stay with the weaklings of this solar system.

My goal is to become stronger than the original, if only temporary, so be it. As long as I can momentarily surpass him, my freedom is set.

And by facing stronger opponents, I would also become stronger.
