What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?

Chapter 171 The Chosen One

"You all will never defeat me, never!" As the thunderous sound reverberated throughout the world, Arthur was consumed by an overwhelming sense of dread.

His body frozen up, as if plunged into the depths of an icy abyss, while the mana coursing through his veins surged uncontrollably.

"What in the world is that sound? Its sheer power is draining every ounce of my strength, and I'm overwhelmed by an indescribable terror," Arthur muttered, taking several steps backward.

His gaze fixated on the darkening sky, which grew increasingly dominant, causing the six dots attempting to neutralize him to tremble violently, as if on the verge of shattering.

As he stared at the six points scattered across the sky, Arthur experienced an inexplicable mix of emotions, as though he had witnessed this scene before.

Under the relentless pressure of the encroaching darkness in the sky, the six points of light were swiftly vanquished, scattering and separating from one another.

"What is happening exactly?" Arthur swallowed hard, his mind racing to process the overwhelming sensory input. Yet his thoughts felt mired, unable to grasp the full picture.

"Boom!"

A colossal explosion ripped across the sky, as though it were tearing the very fabric of existence.

Arthur's gaze remained locked on the heavens, where he witnessed something truly astonishing.

Another dot of light collided with a dark entity resembling a colossal hand, seemingly struggling to withstand the overwhelming force of the attack.

"Boom!"

This time, the dot of light managed to overpower the colossal black hand, rapidly dispersing light in every direction.

The surrounding space warped, as though enclosing a spatial prison within the darkened heavens.

"Whooosh!"

The spatial flow around the black dot swiftly coalesced into a net that distorted the very fabric of reality, descending upon the sky and causing time to grind to a slow, frozen crawl.

Arthur, whose eyes widened in disbelief, felt his core inside his chest twist and churn as if it had stumbled upon something it had long sought.

"The power of space! This is the power of space!" Arthur exclaimed in awe as an incredibly powerful wind swept through everything, threatening to carry him away.

With great effort, Arthur channeled his mana, fortifying his body to withstand the immense turbulence.

"What a horrifying effect, and what kind of power could yield such extraordinary consequences?" Maintaining a steadfast stance to keep from being swept off his feet, Arthur gazed upward at the sky and muttered.

Suddenly, the brilliant, radiant dot of light hung silently above, and from the four corners of the sky, all the previously oscillating points of light swiftly ascended, converging into a luminous focal point that banished the darkness from the heavens.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, the six luminous points circled around the light source that had vanquished the darkness, gradually brightening the once-inky sky, causing the surrounding obscurity to dissolve.

This sequence of events unfolded so swiftly that Arthur was left momentarily stunned, unsure of how to react.

Then, the seven points of light swiftly transformed, taking on the semblance of human forms—six women and one man at the center.

"Could I have been mistaken?" Arthur mumbled, his senses on high alert as he felt the collective gaze of the seven luminous figures, especially the luminous man, who regarded him with a look that was both familiar and peculiar.

"Whooosh!"

In an instant, the luminous man's figure appeared to teleport to Arthur, revealing the true form of the figure that had defeated the darkness in the sky.

"You are..." Arthur narrowed his eyes, ready to defend himself if the luminous man intended harm. To his relief, the man remained motionless, gazing at him with profound intensity.

"It seems you've grasped the clue..." The deep, authoritative voice of the luminous man exerted a certain pressure on Arthur, though he swiftly regained his composure.

"What precisely has occurred, and who are you?" Arthur inhaled deeply and inquired aloud.

In response to Arthur's query, the luminous man did not express anger or any harm towards Arthur; he merely regarded him with a meaningful gaze.

"This is not the moment for you to possess this knowledge. In time, all will be unveiled gradually," the man, bathed in radiant light, intoned in a deep, resonant voice.

However, Arthur, upon hearing this, found his curiosity heightened.

The luminous figure before him bore an uncanny resemblance to the woman with a luminous-covered face whom he had encountered previously.

His words also resonated as familiar.

"Are you suggesting that I am too feeble to comprehend everything?" Arthur clenched his teeth, trying to restrain the frustration brewing within him.

"Yes, it is not yet the time, but it appears that the threads of destiny are advancing more swiftly than I had anticipated, as you should not have witnessed this as of yet." The luminous man's gaze seemed to carry a hidden significance.

Without delay, the luminous man hastily adjusted his attire and continued.

"You must depart now, or there may be no chance of returning to your real world. Everything must adhere to the timeline. However, due to circumstances beyond my control, I must entrust you with what you must acquire and possess." The luminous man swiftly extended his index finger, and a blinding light radiated from it, illuminating Arthur's forehead.

Arthur's eyes widened in astonishment as he sensed a profoundly unfamiliar memory forcefully entering his mind.

This newfound recollection rapidly fused with his own.

Gradually, Arthur closed his eyes and meticulously endeavored to integrate the memories imparted by the luminous and enigmatic man.

"What an incredibly daunting talent! I have a strong sense that my future endeavors will meet with genuine success. I am elated." A smile graced his lips, and suddenly, Arthur's body began to emit a brilliant light, then vanished from the spot.

The radiant man gazed with gentle serenity in the direction where Arthur had disappeared, then turned around.

Unexpectedly, one of the luminous women approached him.

"Who is he? Why does he feel so familiar?" Her soft, mature voice reached the ears of the luminous man.

"Him?" The luminous man slowly cast a wistful glance back to the place where Arthur had stood before, and a sense of melancholy clouded his eyes.

"He is the chosen one who will confront the world's greatest enemy..."
