Is this really a Game?!

Reign's eyes widened as a figure appeared on the battlefield, his presence alone enough to halt the chaos. The air crackled with energy, a stark contrast to the dark corruption that had dominated moments before. Cyrus, a being of immense power, had arrived.

Cyrus was not just any powerful individual; he was the Will of the world itself. His eyes glowed with an ethereal light, and his form radiated a calming yet overwhelming power. He was tall, his features sharp and otherworldly, exuding an aura of pure, untainted energy.

The entity, momentarily taken aback, snarled. "Who are you to interfere in my plans?"

Cyrus looked at the entity with a mixture of pity and disdain. "You have overstepped your bounds, foreign entity, this world will not tolerate your presence any longer."

With a wave of his hand, Cyrus dispelled the corruption around Reign, freeing him from the entity's grasp. Reign collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath but quickly regaining his composure. He looked up at Cyrus, a mix of gratitude and awe in his eyes.

"Thank you," Reign managed to say, his voice hoarse.

Cyrus nodded, his gaze shifting back to the entity. "You have done well, Reign, your efforts have not been in vain, it allowed me to sniff out a rat that managed to sneak in."

The entity roared, its massive form shifting and twisting as it prepared to launch a renewed assault. But Cyrus raised his hand, and the very air around them shimmered with his power. The entity's movements slowed as if caught in an invisible grip.

"You think you can stop me?" the entity growled, struggling against Cyrus's hold.

Cyrus's eyes narrowed. "I do not think, I know." Discover exclusive content at m,v l'-NovelBin.net

He channeled his energy into a focused beam of light, piercing through the entity's core. The entity screamed, its form destabilizing as the pure energy began to unravel the corruption that made up its body. The ground beneath them shook, and the air was filled with the sound of cracking energy and the entity's cries of anguish.

Wolf, Shadow, and Greenie watched in awe as Cyrus systematically dismantled the entity. They had fought bravely, but this display of power was beyond anything they had ever witnessed. Shadow stepped forward, his voice barely above a whisper. "Who is he, Reign?"

Reign, still catching his breath, replied, "He's Cyrus, the Will of the World, he's here to eliminate the bastard."

The battle raged on, but with Cyrus at the forefront, the tide had turned. The entity, once so overwhelming, was now being torn apart piece by piece. Its monstrous minions, sensing their master's demise, began to falter and retreat.

Cyrus merely glanced at them before flicking his fingers, causing the two to suddenly freeze before disintegrating.

"You bastard, how dare you do this?!" The entity roared in anger as it tried to use its corruption and attack Cyrus again, only for the corruption to disintegrate when getting close to Cyrus.

"Who in the hell are you, how the hell can you be this strong?!" The entity roared in anger as Cyrus once again extended his hand and caused the body to be in the clutches of invisible power.

"My identity is of no concern to something like you."

"Tch, do you really think this will be it?"

"Do you think that by destroying this body of mine I will truly die?!"

"No, I shall not!"

"I will come here again, I will find this planet with my true self, and mark my words, I shall make you know what pain is."

"I will show this entire world what happens when one such as myself decides to act, and you shall see just what true despair is like."

Cyrus's expression remained calm. "This world has endured worse and will continue to do so."

"The words of a weakling such as yourself are nothing but empty threats, begone, and, for your own safety, never come back."

Cyrus clenched his open hand, turning it into a fist as the entity's body suddenly got squished.

Something came out of the body, however, something that was not physical and that only Reign, Aethion, Jared, and Cyrus were able to see.

"Will you not destroy it?" Reign asked Cyrus who shook his head.

"Destroying that piece of soul will do little for us, the system shall act on it, this will not be easily forgiven by it, there is no need for myself to utilize more world energy than needed in this moment."

"You're not worried about what it said?" Reign asked Cyrus once more as the latter scoffed.

"The true self of that entity is probably a strong Transcendent, it might even be a Saint, such a being will never be a real threat to the world, if he does come back here in order to have revenge, then he will very quickly find out how big of a mistake he has made," Cyrus said with a smirk on his face.

Threatening the world that you will destroy it or do something to it?

The entity had no idea just how dumb that was.

Earth was protected by the Alliance, so even if that entity wished to do something, it would have to try doing something underhanded and similar to what it tried to do now, but that was only possible in the near future.

After a person becomes Transcendent and the 'game' finally ends for Earth, then they would be able to do much more to protect their planet.

The protection would show itself immediately by a grand world array that Raziel himself had created in the past, and if one wished to break through, they would need to possess the power that was at least at the Supreme realm.

That would make Earth one of the safest places in the entire universe, and if one did try doing something to it before that time came, then Cyrus had no issue contacting Raziel and telling him about it.

He had already regained much of his power thanks to Raziel's previous appearance, and he could actually fight against Saints in this form of his, but it was not the safest or the best course of action.

Cyrus didn't want others to know about him, after all, for the Will of the World to actually not just have a consciousness but even form a body like he had was rare, very rare.

Such Wills were only found on some of the oldest and most powerful worlds, and Earth was not considered to be one, it was not considered to be even close to such a world, which would cause many people to hold many questions about it.

For now, Cyrus wished to hide his identity and not allow anyone or anything to threaten the world before everything was in place. Of course, with Raziel behind him, he didn't need to worry so much, but he didn't wish to burden others, no matter what the reason for it.

Reign and his team could only watch in awe as the last remnants of the entity were eradicated. The air felt lighter, as if the oppressive weight of the corruption had been lifted, and the landscape around them began to slowly return to its natural state.

The floor returned to being the rocky floor from before, the light inside the chamber which had dimmed thanks to the entity was back to normal, and everything seemed fine now.

"Thank you," Reign repeated, his voice steadying as he regained his strength. "We owe you our lives."

Cyrus turned to them, his expression softening. "You fought bravely and with great resolve, your actions today have saved us from quite the headache that could have been present in the future."

Wolf, Shadow, and Greenie approached their faces a mix of relief and gratitude. Shadow sheathed his daggers and nodded at Cyrus. "We couldn't have done it without you, that thing was beyond anything we've ever faced."

Greenie grinned, his usual exuberance returning. "Yeah, but you were even stronger than it, I find it difficult to believe how easily you just destroyed that thing."

"It was like an adult playing with a child."

"Hahahaha, well, I assure you that it is mostly because that entity was not present with its true body and full power, otherwise it would have not been this easy."

"Such beings enjoy traveling to other worlds and plundering resources, making the copies of their true selves grow stronger before returning to the main body to give it nourishment."

"It is a slow, but very safe method of becoming more powerful, and that entity uses just that method."

"It prefers not risking its life and sending out clones of itself to do so in its stead, slowly taking away what others should have and then going back to nourish the main body."

"Those kinds of bastards are usually tough to kill as they rarely show themselves, many demons are like that, as well as some creatures from the abyss."

"You are still in the beginning stages, so you need not worry about such opponents, however."
