2024-10-29 19:42:56The figure inside the lightning calamity zone was naturally Constantine, whose body was currently under Ruger's control. Due to the fact that Constantine's body was not yet strong enough to control the power of constellation lightning that he had inherited from Ruger, his senses were constantly being wracked by extreme pain and he was continuously lingering at the border between consciousness and unconsciousness.
The one in control of Constantine's body was Ruger and under his control, he was able to make use of his original powers that now belonged to Constantine to fight against the dooms that wanted to devour him.
Those bolts of lightning that constantly flashed in the sky were a result of Ruger clashing with the dooms using Constantine's body.
With the power of constellation lightning lingering in his body, Constantine's body was going through an extreme process of tempering where it was constantly being destroyed and rebuilt under the protection of his powers. This is the reason why Constantine felt so much pain that he felt like dying.
The more Ruger used his Constantine's body to stimulate his original power, the more damaged the body became, and when it was rebuilt, the stronger it got and the more it was able to handle the power of the constellation lightning.
It was mentioned before that the power of constellation lightning was purely destructive in nature and carried no other auxiliary effects. But after inheriting this power from Ruger's soul, during the year he was in a coma, Constantine's body was gradually adapting to the power of constellation lightning and it developed the necessary affinities to be able to wield this power.
In order words, Constantine's body had already adapted to the most suitable form necessary to control the power of constellation lightning so it wouldn't be destroyed in the process. The problem was that one year was not nearly enough to complete this process and Constantine would have still needed a long time before his body would be ready to handle the power of constellation lightning. that is the reason why he couldn't awaken that power in the first place. It was because it would place too much burden on his body.
Right now, it could be seen that after Ruger forcefully awakened this power, Constantine's body was not strong enough to handle it and it was constantly being destroyed at a cellular level as a result of this.
But this was not completely bad because as a result of it, Constantine's body was also undergoing complete restructuring at a cellular level also and was quickly adapting to the power of constellation lightning. Given more time, Constantine's physique would eventually be reborn as a constellation lightning physique and he would be able to completely control his new powers without any side effects.
Ruger was clearly aware of the changes that were happening to Constantine's body at a cellular level and it had to be said that even he was surprised at the rapid changes that were currently happening.
Even Ruger himself had not expected this to happen. At most he thought that after awakening Constantine's power, his body would be on the verge of destruction and this would naturally weaken Constantine enough and put him on the verge of death. Then, using a portion of his remaining soul power, he would preserve Constantine's last breath, then take his time to wipe out Constantine's will and soul imprint. when all this was done, Ruger would completely inherit Constantine's body and soul. He would have only needed to take some more time to repair the damage done to Constantine's body before he would officially be reborn as a new person.
That was the plan Ruger had thought out. But seeing as Constantine's body was rapidly adapting to this power, Ruger feared that his consciousness would also recover in time and quickly fight him for control of his body.
"No! I can't let that happen..."
"I have to quickly deal with the issue with these creatures and find a safe place where I can attempt to wipe out the kid's will and soul imprint."
"I initially wanted to let you disappear from this world peacefully and without much pain, but since you want to oppose me at every single step, then forgive me for being ruthless, kid. I am determined to have this body for myself... who would have expected that of all the billions of ants I could have chosen to possess in this barren world, I would actually choose the one person that was the most suitable to inherit all of my powers perfectly!"
"It is truly a wonder the way the universe works in mysterious coincidences. But this is good for me too, because it means I won't have to take too long to recover to my peak power after starting all over again."
"Hehe kid, as I said before, you should be grateful to me for possessing you and giving you the opportunity to transcend from your mediocre and mundane life. As long as I have your body and use it to achieve greatness in the universe, it would be the same as you achieving greatness along with me. So rest assured and hand your body over to me... I will make sure that you enjoy more than you ever could in this life alone."
Ruger was thinking to himself as he said all this...
Faintly, he could also sense a kind of resistance from deep within Constantine's subconscious as he instinctively resisted the idea of his body and life being stolen by Ruger.
Sensing this sensation, Ruger smirked mentally as he said, "What, you don't agree... are you bent on fighting me still?"
"Well, unfortunately for you, in your current state, you do not have the strength to fight me at all! As long as I deal with this problem quickly, I can slowly grind away at your consciousness and will and make you disappear forever from this world. I will erase you from all of existence and everything that used to belong to you will belong to me."
"I won't give you the chance to recover and ruin my plans once more, you hear me?" Ruger shouted hysterically.
During the past year that he had been living in Constantine's body, it could be said to be the most embarrassing moment of his 3000 years of life.
This past year had been the lowest Ruger had ever been, and he felt a lot of resentment towards Constantine, the mortal that had stolen his freedom, powers, and everything else that he had. There was no way Ruger was going to allow himself to continue existing in this form that could not even be called living at all.
He would sooner die than allow himself to continue existing in such a pitiful and low manner. Ruger was hellbent on regaining his life back, even if it meant seizing the life of another. He could care less about anybody in the universe but himself, not to mention that it was an insignificant mortal whose life he was going to seize.
Finally, Ruger was about to deal with the current problem that was the dooms who were still attacking him.
As Ruger's eyes stared straight ahead, his gaze pierced through the distance and accurately locked on the figure of the hill-like creature that was far away.
Ruger's actions had already alerted this creature, and it had already made a move to suppress and destroy him. Faced with this creature, even Ruger felt some pressure, and he knew that he couldn't deal with it.
It couldn't be helped as Constantine was currently too weak and the level of power of the constellation lightning he could mobilize was too weak to deal with the creature.
Thinking of his current predicament, Ruger could not help but complain to himself, "This is really the lowest point of my entire life. Even a lower Lifeform like this thinks it can bully me."
"Humph! Vermin... you'd better wait for me. Once I am done taking over this body and regained my power, I will come back to annihilate your entire race and destroy this lowly world of yours."
"Just you wait!"
Ruger cursed and threatened the doom in the distance before he got ready to run away.
That's right, even the all mighty Ruger Whitebrook had to flee in the face of an unbeatable foe and this was the thing that shamed him the most. Thankfully, even if Ruger could not defeat the doom in the distance, he could still run away and there was nothing it could not stop him.
But just as Ruger was about to flee, Constantine's body actually stopped listening to him at that moment and Ruger could feel himself losing control over Constantine's body.
Ruger could feel that Constantine was gradually regaining consciousness and had started to fight with him for control over his body. He wanted to break free from Ruger's control and regain control over his own body once again.
Sensing this, Ruger panicked and hurriedly yelled at Constantine, who was gradually coming back to his senses from the pain.
He said, "Brat, what the hell are you doing now? This is not the time for this, as we are currently still in danger. Do you want to die?"
In response, the only thing Ruger heard was Constantine's loud voice roaring furiously at him.
"Give me back my body, old man!"
"Get the hell out!"

Constantine's body was shaking furiously, and a storm was going deep inside his body at the very depths of his soul.Inside his soul vessel, Constantine's will that had been suppressed by Ruger and the pain of his powers awakening was gradually coming to his senses and he was fighting to regain control of his body back from Ruger, who planned to possess him once again. Naturally, Ruger would not allow Constantine to revive his consciousness at this moment and with him, so he was desperately trying to keep Constantine at bay.The thing is that right now was the most terrible time for Ruger's attention to be split in dealing with Constantine's awakening consciousness.Currently, the terrifying doom in the distance had already launched an attack at Ruger.

Ruger cursed out loud in regret!He cursed Constantine...He cursed the day he decided to possess Constantine's body...Most especially, Ruger cursed his friend Vader for bringing him to this state! If it weren't for him who decided to rebel and fight him to the death, knowing fully well that neither of them would come out of that fight alive, none of this would have happened in the first place.If only Vader had just obediently continued living his life the way it had been designed for him, he, Ruger, would not have to be stuck inside another person's body, barely living an ignoble existence with a little bit his original powers left to him.Now look at the state he was currently in, after planning and scheming for almost a year to regain his powers, he was about to die... crushed to pieces by an inferior Lifeform that would not have entered his eyes when he was at his peak.As this thought passed quickly through Ruger's mind, he was sudden
BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM Truce
Constantine was indeed proposing a truce between himself and Ruger. After all, right now was not really the time to be fighting, and they really needed to resolve their current predicament if they didn't want to end up as a slab of meat on the pavement.Constantine had already taken a step back to offer this truce. Now it would depend on whether Ruger was going to agree or not to know if they had a shot at surviving this crisis.When Ruger heard Constantine's proposal for a truce, he snorted as he said to Constantine haughtily."Humph!""Don't think for a second that I am willing to come to a truce with an inferior being like you. You're not qualified at all!"Constantine frowned as it seemed to him like Ruger was rejecting the truce. He was just about to say something, but before he could be given the chance, Ruger continued speaking, as he was not done yet."I would even deign to reach a truce with you, but since you have finally come to u

"I swear that I will not attempt to possess your body if you hand it over to me and I will wholeheartedly try to save us from certain death, after which I will return control of your body back to you." Ruger swore solemnly."And?" Constantine urged... he didn't seem satisfied with the oath just yet.Ruger cursed in his mind in exasperation, but he continued speaking."If I break this oath, let the remaining portion of my soul perish and be erased from existence."Ruger said those last words extremely reluctantly, as if he was paying a heavy price just by saying it.In the end, Ruger asked impatiently, "There, are you satisfied?""Hmm, very satisfied," Constantine replied, his tone cheerful."In that case, quickly hand over your body," Ruger demanded.It looked like he was in a hurry, but in his mind, Ruger was sneering coldly at Constantine as he thought internally."Ha, stupid kid, you think you're so smart, but you don
BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM Changes In Constantine's Body After Awakening Powers
Hundreds of miles away from the previous location, a flash of lightning appeared, followed by the roar of thunder shortly after and the lightning bolt struck the sandy dunes of the desert forcefully, sending a cloud of dust and sand in the air. A large pit was formed in the sand, which was gradually being filled up as the rest of the sand flowed into the pit.After a short while, the cloud of dust and sand finally settled and the large bit was almost completely filled up. The surrounding area was about to go back to its peaceful state when suddenly, a long arm broke out from the depths of the sand to the surface of the desert.The arm struggled and flayed around for some time as it tried to find purchase on the sand. Finally, the palm of that arm rested on the sand and gradually, a body started to dig its way out of the dune until it finally escaped from the confines of the desert sand.The body that came out of the sand was completely naked and the white skin o

After Constantine was done observing the changes in his body, he came out of his introspective state and shook his head helplessly. This time, the changes were a bit overwhelming for Constantine to be able to accept it completely. But overall, they were good.From the situation of his body, it could be said that Constantine had completely shed his mortal coil and assumed a higher form of life. He was no longer a simple teenager, but an extraordinary human youth.Inside Constantine's body, there was an inexhaustible current of lightning coursing through every corner of his body, providing him with limitless energy. It was safe to say that from this moment on, Constantine's body was a perpetual engine that could provide constant energy.In the future, Constantine didn't have to worry about running out of energy and he would never feel tired in his life again.With the lightning in his body, apart from having endless energy, his body was in a constant state
BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM How Did We Get Here?
Constantine reveled in the discovery of his newfound powers for a little while more until, finally, he was able to calm down. The initial excitement passed quickly and Constantine was brought back to reality.Looking around him, Constantine remembered that he wasn't entirely safe yet in this strange land he found himself. Above everything else, he knew it was better to find a way to get out of here first. But then again, this begged a serious question that Constantine had yet to solve until now."Where the hell am I?"Till now, Constantine did don't know where on Earth he was? He had just suddenly appeared here after waking up in that place filled with gray fog. The only thing Constantine could remember was that he had been having trouble sleeping, then unknowingly he had appeared in that foggy place and was chasing a figure in the fog and when the figure suddenly vanished; he was already here in the desert.Constantine did not know how or why he had appe
BROTHERS TOGETHER: US AGAINST DOOM Unexplored Galaxy
How did Ruger and Constantine get to the land on the other side of the rift?This was the million-dollar question. Indeed, it was very puzzling... there was more than one spatial rift that opened up on earth and they were located all around the world. There was no known pattern for where the spatial rifts would appear and even now more spatial rifts continued opening up on earth like how a dog lays puppies.If there was one thing that was common between all these spatial rifts, it was that only dooms came out of the spatial rifts. That means that each rift is connected to a world inhabited by dooms. This is why the dooms are known as mankind's greatest threat. Compared to the other mutated organisms on earth, the dooms were highly developed already and did not need to go through a long process of growth before they could pose a substantial threat. Compared to the other threats mankind was facing, the dooms just needed to pass through a rift and appear on earth and they

With his forehead covered in a nervous sweat, the leader watched as the rift turned into a black dot in space before finally closing completely. As soon as the rift closed, the leader’s shoulders dropped heavily as he breathed a deep sigh of relief. He suddenly felt weak at this moment as the pressure he was feeling in his heart was liberated, making him feel like he would suddenly collapse on the floor. But his training prevented him from doing so. Without the heavy weight of the rift hanging over his head, the leader could finally relax and breathe easily. Taking a moment to regain his composure, the leader turned to captain Keith and reported. “Sir, the rift had finally been closed.”“Good,” captain Keith responded. He continued, “Station a few men to keep watch here and report anything that happens. We don’t want the rift being opened again from the other side. In a while, this place will be turned into a quarantined zone as we wait for the tech guys to arrive and give this p

Back To Earth
The leader hurried to close the rift, which consisted of detonating a set of small special grenades in the small room.On opposite sides of the rift, there were two tall pillar-like objects emitting pulsing light that shine on the dark rift. These two objects were spatial anchors... a kind of stabilizer that was used to maintain an open rift to prevent it from closed prematurely. Like I said before, natural rifts were more stable and could remain open for a very long time without closing. Instead of worrying about keeping a natural rift open, one would worry instead about getting it too close. On the other hand, an artificial rift was difficult to maintain, so stabilizers were needed to keep it open. Human research on space was very slow, and they hadn’t reached the point where they could open and close rifts in other worlds easily. The spatial anchors were a product of genius that had accidentally blossomed to fruition. It was with this anchor technology that the humans were confid

With one last look at Constantine, the leader finally stepped through the rift. In as much as he was reluctant to leave, the leader knew that staying would not help at all. Instead, it would bring more trouble to Constantine.Who told him to be weak and that he couldn’t lend his strength to Constantine?For that matter, whose fault was it that Earth was too weak to fight against the doom? There was nobody to blame, and they could only blame themselves. In any case, it wasn’t like the leader’s troubles were over. Waiting on the other side of the rift was a whole other set of problems that the leader would have to deal with...As soon as the leader came face to face with his superior. This was a man with the body of a giant. Standing at more than two meters tall, with large burly arms like the barrel of a tank, shoulders as broad as vinyl, and a hulking frame that towered over everybody else, dwarfing them in his shadow. This person was the superior officer in charge of the rescue miss

Wounded?
The leader’s face paled terribly when he saw the twenty-meter-tall doom still standing after taking that powerful lightning ball and coming out unfazed.He thought, ‘This is the end!’When the leader thought that he would be flattened, not meat paste in the next moment, his eyes opened wide in fear as he supported Constantine with his body.The leader's eyes were looking forward in a daze as he awaited his inevitable end. But after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened. Shocked, the leader looked at the twenty-meter-tall doom in the distance, only to see that it was standing still without moving at all. Puzzled, the leader paid attention to it. That was when he noticed something he hadn’t done before. As the twenty-meter-tall doom stood silently in place, its dune-like body seemed to be loosening as sand flowed down to the desert continuously. Seeing this state, a single thought entered the leader’s mind...“It’s injured!”Once this thought entered his mind, the leader was ecs

Unfazed
The twenty-meter-tall doom finally revealed itself from underneath the sand. This was the first time the leader was seeing it and it was as shocking as he expected it to be. Figure-wise, the twenty-meter-tall doom was no different from the rest of the dooms. It still had the same dull red skin color that was like rust or dried blood and it possessed the same bloated body. All of these were common features of the creatures known as dooms. Still, compared to the other dooms, there were a few differences between them, the most obvious of which was the twenty-meter height that this menace stood. Another different feature was that, unlike the other dooms that possessed a perfect physical structure, the twenty-meter-tall doom seemed more like a mass of sand packed together in a single cluster. Its body was made up entirely of grains of sand that flowed constantly. The twenty-meter-tall doom was like a giant walking dune, with no fixed physical form except for the overall structure that

First Look At The Face Of Terror
Bzzt! Bzzt!A powerful ball of lightning floated inches above Constantine’s head, giving off buzzing sounds of electricity as it hung suspended in the air. A layer of sweat covered Constantine’s face as exhaustion threatened to send him to his knees. Constantine’s arms were like lead, heavy, and it took all of his willpower to keep them upright to support the lightning ball. Hu!Resisting the urge to wipe the sweat from his eyes, Constantine stared dead ahead at the threat coming his way. The lightning ball above him had a diameter of five meters and it had taken almost all his power to condense it. Its power was naturally great, and it carried a shocking mite that was enough to scare a ten-meter-tall doom into retreating. But despite this, Constantine was clear that his lightning ball was not enough to stop the menace that was targeting him. A twenty-meter-tall doom!This should be the strongest doom that any human had ever encountered. Nothing was known about this doom. Probably

Run? The soldiers didn’t need Constantine to tell them before they did so. The sheer commotion from what was coming was greater than anything they had ever seen before. Rich experience from exploring the doom world for a year had thought these hardened soldiers that when faced with the unknown... the best decision was always to run. Just as Constantine’s voice fell, the leader ordered his men, “All soldiers fall back to the rift immediately. Abandon everything else and fall back!”Following the leader’s orders, the soldiers quickly turned their backs on the dooms they were confronting and ran back to the rift as fast as possible. Immediately, it was chaos all over the desert. Not only were the soldiers trying to escape, but the dooms were also in a mess as their formation completely collapsed and they ran all over the place in a panic. The soldiers were surprised to see that the dooms seemed to be more panicked than they were. Normally in situations where people abandoned all resis

After breaking through the blockade of the ten-meter-tall dooms, Constantine continued speeding his way towards the rift. Along the way, he also encountered more fierce resistance. But it wasn't anything he couldn't handle.Dooms below four meters in height could not stop Constantine at all and while it was tough to deal with four-meter and five-meter-tall dooms, it wasn't as hard as passing through a blockade of ten-meter-tall dooms so it was a piece of cake for Constantine.There were a few ten-meter-tall dooms that tried to stop him. But they did not form a blockade like the previous dooms. then the blockade was formed by not less than five ten-meter-tall dooms gathered together in a line. Due to their large size and the fact that Constantine didn't want to waste time by going around them, those dooms were able to block Constantine's way forward.Thankfully, apart from them, the other ten-meter tall dooms Constantine encountered was only in teams of two or three... nothing Constant

Ooouuu!Following a loud bellow, the ten-meter-tall dooms attacked. One of them shot its large hand forward like a boulder and slapped at Constantine, intending to crush him to bits.Bang!The blow came fast and suddenly and landed on the ground, causing a large explosion to erupt, blowing large clumps of sand everywhere like pellets of stray bullets.Although the dooms with their large and cumbersome bodies were not agile, they were able to instantaneously erupt with overwhelmingly crushing force in the blink of an eye. If one was not prepared, then they would be crushed to meat patty before they even knew it.Fortunately, Constantine was prepared. Before the doom could even land a hit on him, Constantine had already jumped out of harm's way, letting the doom's huge fist to land harmlessly on the ground.Constantine watched as the desert sand was split by the punch and a huge crater formed where he had previously been standing just a moment ago.Constantine's body chilled as he thoug
