Was it worth it?
To put his family's lives in danger by telling them the truth... was it really worth it?
Constantine thought about it for a moment before he came to a conclusion.
Whether it was worth it or not, was not up to Constantine to decide. No matter how things turned out, even if dangers really were going to come after them, then Constantine's family had the right to know exactly what they were likely to encounter.
Constantine didn't want to make decisions for other people based on what he felt was right for them. He didn't want to be the sort of self-righteous guy who thought they were keeping others' best interests at heart when they were actually just being selfish.
If there was a matter that involved another party, then Constantine preferred it if that party was actively involved in the said matter. He believed that a person was entitled to the right to make their own decisions in matters that affect them greatly no matter what the out
"As I said, the reason you can no longer increase your strength as fast as before is that you have reached the upper limit of your current strength. The best way to understand this is like this...""Take a bottle, for instance... imagine your body to be an empty bottle and your powers as the content that fills that bottle. The process of you growing stronger is actually you building a body that can perfectly contain the enormous amount of power that is contained inside you. Initially, your body is like an ordinary plastic bottle and your power is like acid or hot lave. Naturally, it is impossible for a plastic bottle to be able to contain acid or lava. That is why you need a stronger bottle, or in your case, you need to build a stronger body.""Are you following me?" Ruger paused his explanation and asked Constantine."Yeah, though my previous body being likened to a piece of plastic bottle is quite harsh but I am following nonetheless," Constantine replied.
Having learned what the true nature of constellation lightning from Ruger was, Constantine could definitely say for a fact that his body couldn't bear its full power at all. The only outcome of having so much stellar energy inside his body would be to have it crumble to ash.Finally, Constantine understood what Ruger was trying to tell him...When Ruger said that his power was enough for him to grow stronger, he literarily meant that the power contained in his body was only at the level of what he could currently endure without combusting into flames.With the constellation lightning power in him and having a body that had already adapted to it to the extent that it wouldn't be destroyed, all Constantine had to do was train his body to be able to grasp full control over his immense powers. This way, he would be able to reach the full potential of his current strength.This was in essence Constantine's limit to how much power his body could control. Once t
Far in the distance where Constantine was looking, he could see the signs of a sandstorm visible in the air. This was not a surprising sight to see in the desert. If there was any sight that was not missing in the desert, it was dunes and sandstorms.In any case, a sandstorm usually signaled that a herd of dooms is on the prowl. Normally Constantine would have gone ahead to investigate. But now that he had decided to rest, Constantine was not interested in going over at this time.Still, the thing that drew Constantine's attention to this particular sandstorm was its scale. The size of the sandstorm was unusually large... it was much larger than the few he had come across during his training.The Sandstorm was a few kilometers away from Constantine's location but as time looked; it was only a few meters away. This was just how large it was. Compared to the other sandstorms Constantine had come across, this was one of the largest. It was second only to the sandst
"It doesn't matter how they got here," Constantine said."Right now, they are clearly in trouble and are just barely holding on. We need to help them!"There was an urgent tone in Constantine's voice as he looked ahead at the sandstorm. From the distorted waves of energy fluctuations, Constantine could roughly guess the situation inside. Without a doubt, the humans were in a lot of trouble and they were just barely holding their own against the dooms as they ran for their lives.Their situation was kinda like how Constantine was when he had first appeared in this world and he was chased by a large herd of dooms as he was sent running for his life. Right now, Constantine could guess that the humans were in the same situation as he had been then.Currently, Constantine was not thinking very clearly... knowing that there was a group of humans in trouble. The first thought in his mind was to go over and help them, and he did not consider the exact circumstanc
"What has suddenly come over you? Answer me, brat... what the hell do you think you're doing?"Ruger screamed loudly at Constantine, who completely ignored him as he continued heading towards the sandstorm. By the time Ruger could say anything else, Constantine had already dived inside and was heading straight towards the center.At this moment, it was already too late to stop Constantine. In the end, Ruger no longer yelled at him. Instead, he was silent for a moment before he asked simply."Why?"It was a single word, but Constantine understood the intended meaning behind these words. Without stopping, Constantine answered Ruger."You said that I have to bear with it now because I am weak and that when I get stronger in the future, I can prevent something like this from happening again. But I don't think I can wait that long...""I know what it's like for you to be in a desperate situation where it seemed like there was no way out for you.
Inside the sandstorm, Constantine was surprised by the appearance of the team facing off against the dooms. It was beyond his expectations that they would actually be so well equipped with impressive tools and gadgets and be able to last very long against the waves of doom attacks.Constantine paused and didn't approach the team immediately as he watched them resist the dooms. Under his observation, Constantine discovered that the team was actually quite capable and experienced in their tactics, which were very mature when dealing with the dooms. This showed that they personally had some experience in fighting the dooms here in their world.It came as a surprise to Constantine that he wasn't the only one that was able to explore the doom world and that there were other humans with the ability to do so. But after thinking about it for a moment, Constantine discovered that it made a lot of sense.It had already been a year since the doom world started fusing with earth and spatial rifts
Constantine's charge quickly alerted the team that was in the midst of fighting against the dooms. Immediately, one of the team members, who was hoisting a shield up in the formation to withstand the attacks of the dooms, quickly reported to someone at the back."Commander, there is a large energy signature rapidly approaching from our four o'clock direction. It belongs to an unknown creature and the readings on the energy of this creature are off the charts!"There was a hint of surprise in the voice of the person reporting, and it carried on clearly into the ears of the other members. As soon as they heard this, everybody shot a look at the direction their team member had mentioned and that was when they saw the huge commotion caused by Constantine's charge.By the commotion, it meant that a lot of dooms were sent flying from the direction that the team member mentioned as whatever was behind it changed directly at them.Each of the team members wore a dark helmet on their heads wit
The unknown was cause for great fear and there was a saying that people feared what they could not understand. All of this was true, and it was clearly reflected in all the team members as they watched with bated breaths the unknown thing that was making its way towards them.The thing about soldiers is that they were trained to head-on into battle where the certainty of death was unknown. Having been trained to overcome their fear of the unknown, every soldier was able to face whatever danger posed a threat to their lives.It was the same now as, despite their fear of what was coming, these soldiers braved those fears and stayed in formation as they continued fighting without panic.The doom world was a place that was filled with countless unknown dangers. The things that could kill a human in a world that was completely hostile to mankind were so numerous that they couldn't be counted. This was a place where the cowardly and timid had no chance of survival. As trained and battle-har
