The Geared Immortal

…

Stoll saw the death of his creation and this made him truly mad. He gnashed his teeth and glared at the figure floating in the middle while looking at the dead creatures around him.

"That bastard!" he growled as his form suddenly changes.

His long limbs suddenly became longer and the tip of his fingers turned into bony claws. His aura slowly changes and his human face slowly morphed.

He wanted to fight… his instinct is telling him to kill the human.

But before he could make his move, a figure suddenly appears beside him and then held him back.

"Do not be impulsive… Lord Yol-gar has his plans…" a female voice interrupted his rage.

"I… I wanted to tear that human apart!" he growled in a low voice.

"Hehe… You will have your chance… But for now… Let\'s stop here." She said as she disappears.

He gave another glare at the figure of Xin Ja then turns around to leave.

By this time, Xin Ja shifted his gaze to the location where Stoll was standing a while ago.

With a slight smile on his face, he also turns around and left that place.

He planned to go back to the base.

…

On his way, he noticed a huge change in the environment. With his power reaching that of a Shen, he could extend his sense to a really wide range. However, he could sense that something seem to be still restraining his Spirit Sense when he tries using it.

He also tries activating his domain, but it can only reach about 100 meters.

The only sense he could use at full is his Absolute Sense which could reach really far.

From his location, he could now sense what is happening in Evalence City.

"War has finally come to us…" he muttered.

He was a soldier from the earth, he then became a scientist which discovered new energy for earth and was suddenly brought to another world.

His journey so far from that time forth is filled with danger. One adventure after another happened and he has grown from a mere weak human into a powerful being that can now hold a whole galaxy in his palm.

With the power he has now, though it is constrained on this planet, once he comes out of this world, then he would have the power to control the living.

Of course, with regards to the aspect of spirits that would be in the control of the divine world where the deities are residing.

Spirits are indestructible and everlasting. But their weakness is their lack of an incorporeal body. So either one can only absorb them and imprison them, or release them to the void or they would enter their phase of reincarnation in this vast universe.

But that is not his concern. He knew that if the divine realm really would open and intercede with this war, then there is a chance for him to see that divine world.

And that place is away from this vast universe that he is in right now.

From what he has learned of the divine world, it is called by many names, but the divine world has one purpose, and that is to control the deities that govern this universe.

As he clenches his fist and looks at the sky, Xin Ja could not help but heave a deep sigh.

"I can only do this for now…" he muttered as his mind suddenly recalled his father and his family in this world.

Though he has had many families on his journey, he values them all. And right now, his current family is his father, his friends, his masters, and those that are close to him.

Suddenly, four female faces came to his mind.

Shi Anne Li, his longtime girlfriend from earth whom he thought had betrayed him. She lost his memory and has lived her life after that. Qin Lou, the woman who waited for him and bore him a son. Susan Tang, the woman who left him and their daughter in seeking the real meaning of eternal life. And the last is Rou Chenchen, who now has found her own happiness as he decided to set her free.

Xin Ja knew that in this war, he is expected to save this world for a reason.

As he thinks deeply, he now could somewhat understand the reason for the administrator of this world.

If this world is truly destroyed and the imprisoned deities are freed, there is a chance that they could wreak havoc in the universe... and chaos would ensue.

As he gained the power of the Shen and sees the two spheres in his dantian, he could now deduce that the energy contained within him is far too vast that it can be compared to a galaxy.

If such a power ended up in the hands of a crazy deity then, the universe would surely be in trouble.

"It\'s since of swim now…" he once again muttered as his figure floated high up in the sky and flew in the direction of the Evalence.

Kwang!!!

When he was nearing the city, his figure was suddenly stopped by a powerful ray coming from the ground.

With a deep frown, Xin Ja looks in the direction where the ray came from.

Three figures suddenly appear atop the trees.

"Haha… I think we caught a big bird this time…" a burly giant said with a smirk while looking at Xin Ja\'s unmoving figure high up in the air.

"Hehe… With this guy on hand, no one can stop us now…" a 3 and 1/2 feet-tall guy added with a smirk.

"You two should now put your guard down…" the only female in the group said as she quickly surrounded her body with mist.

"Haha… With this ray, even if he is a Rank-A awakened he would not be able to free himself from us!" Arnas, the burly man, said with a smirk.

He then takes out a hand ax from his back and went into a fighting stance.

"Our instruction is to kill him, right?" Maridon, the short guy, said as he takes out a stone hammer twice his size.

"Enough talk!" Eva shouted as she suddenly charges at Xin Ja\'s unmoving figure.

Her speed is too fast to be seen by the naked eye. She then appears behind Xin Ja with a Ki-energy blade coming out of his hand.

However, her expression dropped as she suddenly became wary of her surroundings.

"Be careful! He has escaped!" she shouted.

Then the two looks around trying to feel their surroundings.

Suddenly, Arnas waves his hand and blocks an attack coming from his side.

Clang!

The loud sound reverberating in the air made everyone aware that the trapped target has actually escaped.

The figure of Xin Ja could be seen floating from the side while looking at the three in his perspective vision.

"Are you the general of that fellow… Yol-gar?" Xin Ja asked.

The three glared at Xin Ja in anger for insulting their lord.

"You treated him like he is everything to you… Well, let me tell you something else. When I was still weak in the immortal land, I encountered Yol-gar and another Shadow Being. At that time, I think Yol-gar is just a measly demon emperor." Xin Ja suddenly wanted to be chatty for a bit and said those words slowly and with force.

"If not for me… those two would have landed in this world…" he said with a smirk.

When the three heard this, their expression changed.

"So… it was you… You are the cause that the forces of the Shadow Beings and the demons are now being oppressed in the universe." Eva suddenly said with hatred in her eyes.

"Oppressed? Hahaha… I do not want to say anything, but the nature of every living creature in this universe is balanced. One is capable of doing great evil and at the same time greater good. It is the culture that one adapts that could turn one evil… or good."

Hearing his words, the three just glared at him.

Suddenly, Xin Ja extended his hand to the side, and then a few runes began floating in the air surrounding his body.

"Hehe… Thank you for listening to my words though it is only for me to buy time…" he suddenly chuckled.

His words are just distractions which would make the three think that he wanted to surrender because they are stronger than him.

But that is what he wanted them to think.

Seeing the runes floating on his back, the three suddenly look at each other and jumps into battle.

Their figures slowly change as they discarded their human forms.

Arnas turned into a giant with a huge mouth on his body. His muscular physique made him look imposing and powerful.

Eva turned into a ghost-like creature as she spreads her mist around.

Meanwhile, the small guy, Maridon, slowly grows as he turns into a stone golem.

Those three powerful creatures attacked Xin Ja simultaneously.

The figure of the female ghost suddenly appears before Xin Ja. When she did, he suddenly found his consciousness a bit blurry.

Then she opened her mouth which turned wider. Then a blast of waves appears which seems to have suddenly disoriented Xin Ja.

"Mental attack!" Xin Ja was surprised to find out about the woman\'s power.

Bam!!!

Suddenly a powerful force hit his back which sent him flying to the side.

Xin Ja spat a mouthful of blood because of that hit.

But before he could recover, a huge stone mace came into his vision.

Wham!!!
