Chapter 542: Heaven Sundering Fist

"Be safe for us all, honey." Darcy wished. She expected that today's reunion was going to be great. Sadly, Darcy hadn't foreseen the sudden arrival of the lone traveler.

"Are you here to issue a challenge?" Super Warrior asked after he witnessed a light beam from the skies carried his wife and children off from the scene.

Gone were his swimming trunks and he was now dressed with his superhero guise in red and blue.

A gale gently rose behind him that made his cape float to give a vivid effect of his readiness and masculinity.

"I come only to find my answer. What is this place? Why was I brought here?" the lone traveler queried.

But even as he uttered the words, divine radiance had sprung forth from his eyes to properly gauge the man of steel before him.

This was not the usual ants he was used to crushing beneath his feet in the bygone years of the past.

This man who took the alias of Super Warrior could even battle True Immortals like the Immortal Darkness and The Faceless Man, the last of his nemeses.

"Have you just ascended?" Super Warrior's guard visibly lowered the moment he heard the words spoken by the short boy.

His 6 foot 1 inches against the barely passable height of 5 feet of the lone traveler was a direct contrast to anyone who might have chanced to see them.

And that was not even detailing their distinct body frames at all.

"I was taken here without any will to resist by an existence that even I, could not dream to fathom. Who are they?" Lin Fan asked once more.

"Why don't you come with me, Lin Fan. I have all the answers you need." Super Warrior replied and had a mysterious smile on his face.

It would be a lie to say that he was not relieved.

Any ascended existence was not a trifling goon that would go away with but a single slap.

"WHOOSH!" the air whistled that cued the caped man's passage above and beyond anyone could see. Deep into the highest skies, outside the world, to be one with the void.

"Hmmm. Interesting." Lin Fan followed the flight of Super Warrior with easy strides and the thought of finally unveiling the secrets of his abduction had borne a familiar smile upon his face.

This was the smile of a butcher. A prelude to blessing these new earths with great rivers of blood.

The voyage of two immortal souls may have taken an eternity or it may have also been an insignificant drop in the ever flowing river of time,

but this was a question of perspective and so was better left off to more learned minds.

Upon the precipice of the void, one thin framed boy stood beside a tall hunk of a man.

"Tell me what you hear out there." the tall man asked the boy.

"TAP!"

"TAP!"

"TAP!"

"I hear the incessant droplets of rain." the boy answered.

"What's beyond the veil?" it was the boy's turn to ask his question.

"Nothing..." the tall man started.

"and perhaps everything." before he added after a short pause.

"You may not know this but those rapid sounds you hear as raindrops has a very distinct similarity to one item in my world."

The tall man continued when only silence reigned between them for more than ten breaths. The boy seemed to forget his presence as he scrutinized the inky empty space in their front.

"What item?" the boy muttered as if in afterthought while he was still intent on gauging the mystery before his eyes.

"It's a device called the keyboard."

"A keyboard? What's that?"

"It's a technology created by our people that enables authors to write books."

"A quill?"

"Exactly!"

"You're implying that whoever is out there can be referred to as our Maker?" the boy, Lin Fan concluded.

"Maybe, maybe not. At least only one person may have seen the truth so far." the tall man, Super Warrior shared his thoughts.

"Who was he?"

"He was a man known as Logan Wood."

"How did he get out?" Lin Fan asked but his eyes were still glued to the front.

"We have a ranking for all summoned beings in the world. Whoever topped that after one trillion years can finally see what's out there." Super Warrior waved a hand that indicated the nothingness in space.

"How much time is left for me?" Lin Fan said but his voice was barely a whisper.

His full faculties unleashed on determining the secrets beyond this partition of reality.

"The last and only existence to succeed has left this universe for almost five thousand years already." Super Warrior answered.

"Then I have ample time." Lin Fan smiled.

"What are you doing?!" Super Warrior was stunned at he what saw. The robed boy was releasing waves and waves of power and after just one breath, he became a gigantic figure of a lofty immortal.

Untouchable and divine. Separated from the mortals and ant crickets who laid ever sighing at the heights that they can never fathom to achieve.

"What do you think?" Lin Fan replied.

"Heaven Sundering Fist!"

"BANG!"

The void quaked as the deluge of a mighty fist rocked its foundations.

The shock waves brought out by this one offensive had reached the sole world at the center in this film of reality.

But before the scattered reflections of power could make its influenced known upon World Naught, a transparent barrier had already encased it within its unbreakable defense.

Only an attractive shower of hues and rainbows remained in place for all peoples of the lands to see.

On a little spot inside the vastness of the world, a man was happily smoking his pipe.

He looked into the horizon and peered at the root cause of this disturbance.

"Ho Ho Ho!" the moment he realized what happened, he coughed and laughed at the same time.

"So another one has come. And an impatient new addition it seems. Things will get fascinating once more." the old man muttered.
