Various worries troubled Constantine as he thought about his current situation. But there was nothing he could do about this since even Ruger couldn't think of any solution to the problem. He could only deal with it as time went on.
Since there was nothing to talk about anymore, Constantine was about to leave this space and get away from Ruger.
Ruger also noticed Constantine's intention, but he did not try to stop him. He probably had other things to consider himself and couldn't be bothered by him.
But just as Constantine was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something that Ruger had mentioned before. when Ruger had mentioned this, because Constantine had been worried about his future, he had not paid attention to it. But now, after calming down a little, Constantine finally recalled it.
After coming to a stop, Constantine turned around and looked at Ruger.
He asked, "Before you mentioned that, apart from your memories, I inherited other things. What other things did I inherit from you?"
This was what Constantine was now concerned with...
The answer to this question would determine if he would have more problems to worry about in the future or if there would be a flash of light ahead to illuminate the dark path in his future.
Constantine waited for Ruger to reply while having a faint hope in his heart. Naturally, Constantine had a guess in his mind about what else he had inherited from Ruger's soul, but he did not dare have too much hope for this. But the thought of his guess being accurate caused Constantine to be filled with anticipation and he became incredibly nervous.
Ruger's attention was also pulled away from what he was thinking of by Constantine's question.
When he finally answered, it was still with his signature condescending smirk that always seemed to be plastered on his face.
"Heh! You're really hopeless!"
"Do I have to tell you everything myself? You should have already sensed it by now... my power, that is?"
"Don't you feel it coursing through your veins like a living fire churning and burning with heat, snaking around your blood vessels and bringing life to your mundane existence?"
As Constantine listened to Ruger, although his words were as condescending as ever, Constantine could not help but feel his heartbeat frantic and jolt as if it wanted to jump out of his chest at once.
This feeling was strange since his form that appeared in this space was nothing more than a thought. But even still, Constantine's breath came out in short gasps and his anticipation continued to build up into a crescendo that threatened to send him into shock.
It was very difficult for Constantine to rein in his emotions because he was abnormally excited...
From Ruger's words, he knew that the chances of his guess being accurate were very high and when he thought of what this implied, every worry that had previously plagued him completely vanish like smoke on a rainy day!
Compared to what he was about to learn, Constantine's worries seemed to pale much more in comparison.
Ruger could sense Constantine's excitement, and his expression became even more smug than usual.
Looking at Constantine, Ruger said, "You already have an idea as to what I am referring to don't you?"
"That's right... I am talking about my power, the Heavenly Constellation Lightning Ability!"
"This ability is one of the top forms of lightning abilities and the one with the most destructive power. In the whole firmament and universe, few powers could compare to the Heavenly Constellation Lightning in power and destructive might and it was what I relied on to reign supreme in the firmament of my birth."
"You are a very lucky brat!"
"Compared to me who got nothing from having my soul fused to yours, you have fully inherited by powers as well as my experience in using this power. With my memories as a reference, there will be almost no bottlenecks in cultivating my powers to their current limits or even surpassing that limit."
"Humph! Of course, apart from my powers you have also inherited a lot of other things from me but none of those could ever come close to the Heavenly Constellation Lightning Ability."
"Congratulations, kid, you're blessed, but you're also cursed at the same time!"
Boom!
There was an explosion in Constantine's mind and his body shook as an earthquake had just erupted inside him.
What he had suspected eventually ended up becoming true...
Just as Constantine had guessed, he had indeed inherited Ruger's powerful ability, the Heavenly Constellation Lightning Ability...
Just as Ruger had said, this ability was one of the top abilities in the lightning branch of abilities and it was especially known for its destructive power and overbearing might. compared to any other form of lightning, the Heavenly Constellation Lightning only had one emphasis... that was overwhelming destruction and annihilation.
When it came to lightning-based abilities, some variants focused on different aspects like control, suppression, and even healing and augmentation. Most often, lightning abilities were made up of a few of these characteristics joined together.
But the Heavenly Constellation Lightning was not like that. The only characteristics it was was destruction and annihilation. Nothing else!
Anybody that possessed the power of the Heavenly Constellation Lightning was that commanded supreme destructive power. Nobody else could compare.
Of course, as a side effect of this, the Heavenly Constellation Lightning could also embody the characteristics of other firms of lightning, like augmentation on the user and control but these characteristics were only a side effect and not the main characteristics of this variant of lightning.
Ever since Constantine had awoken from his coma, he had always felt like his body was on fire and was overflowing with warmth and power. Even when standing in a cold room with the air conditioner blasting at full power making his room resemble a freezer, Constantine was not affected and he did not feel cold at all.
At first, Constantine had been confused why his body was like that. but now with Ruger's words, he could confirm that it was as a result of him inheriting the power of the Heavenly Constellation Lightning from Ruger's soul.
Learning that he had inherited the Heavenly Constellation Lightning from Ruger, Constantine was on cloud nine. But then his mood suddenly plummeted as he hurriedly tried to calm himself down.Constantine did not lose his mind to euphoria, and he was still conscious enough to hear the rest of Ruger's words."You're blessed, but you're cursed too!"That was what Ruger said to Constantine, and hearing it gave him ominous feelings that all was not well.Looking at Ruger apprehensively, Constantine asked, "What did you mean when you said I was cursed? Did I inherit something else from you, apart from your powers?"This day was really set up to be a bad day for Constantine. it was not enough that he found out his soul was fused with another person's soul. But now he might have also inherited an unknown curse because of this.The joy that Constantine felt previously from inheriting the Heavenly Constellation Lightning was quickly dampened because o
It was in the dead of night and the streets of Boston were completely silent, with not a soul to be found. Right now, the night was a dangerous place to be in, with countless nonhuman entities prowling the streets and alleys looking for prey to feed on.Occasionally, one could make out the distant sounds of sirens ringing out in the night sky. Usually, sirens were used as a warning signal by the military to warn residents in the area to stay in their rooms and not come out because of a Doom or some other malevolent creature was found in the area.Constantine lay awake in his bed right now and he listened to the distant sounds of fighting that came from a long-distance away.Pricking up his ear, the sounds that a normal person wouldn't be able to make out from his location entered his ears clearly, as if he was present on the scene. This just proved that Constantine was no longer an ordinary human.It had been some time since Constantine spoke to Ruger. Af
Constantine found himself on a boundless plain, with nothing in sight around him. There was a blanket of gray fog everywhere around him, covering everything in sight and stretching far into the distance.The fog was very heavy...It was so thick that Constantine could not even see three feet away from himself into the distance."Hello!" Constantine called out into the fog."Anybody there?""Can anybody hear me? If you can answer me!"Over and over Constantine called, but he received no response. Even when he tried to move forward in the fog, there was nothing that came to sight apart from endless soil, earth, and fog.With the heavy fog blocking his vision, Constantine did not know where to go. He could not make any direction as he walked around blindly, hoping to find something or someone that could help him understand where he was.Constantine was confused... he didn't know how he had ended up in this place. The last thing he
When Constantine woke up, he found himself in a strange place...Constantine felt a serious headache as soon as he opened his eyes and he squinted in pain as he tried to make out his surroundings groggily.Gradually Constantine's eyes cleared up and he could finally get a clear look at his surroundings. When Constantine got a look at his surroundings, he suddenly sprang to his feet in shock and surprise.Swoosh!A sharp wind blew against Constantine, hitting his face sharply, causing it to sting in pain. A storm of dust and sand was raised by the wind and it rushed at Constantine, burying him in red earth. In the next 2 seconds, everything vanished as if they had never appeared in the first place.Cough, cough!Constantine burst into a coughing fit, spitting out the sand that had gotten into his mouth that he had failed to close in time due to his surprise."Cough! Damn it, what the hell is this... I've got sand in my mouth, eyes, nos
Constantine stood fearfully in place, shivering in trepidation as he saw the approaching sandstorm that carried an unknown danger in it. A feeling of crisis overwhelmed Constantine's senses and he immediately went into a fight-or-flight mode.A lot of contradictory feelings went through Constantine as he considered whether to wait and see what was coming or abandon all other thoughts and flee, just as Ruger had advised.Constantine could agree that the main reason why he hadn't run away yet was that he didn't want to do as Ruger said after telling him he didn't need his help. If Constantine was to flee now, then what he had said to Ruger would have no meaning anymore, and it would be nothing more than a joke.This caused him to hesitate, and he couldn't make up his mind. It was at this point that Ruger's voice sounded once again in his head as he said to him."Humph, kids, always so stubborn and prideful for no reason. I wonder which is more important to
"Oi brat, are you having fun?" Ruger's voice came as he said sarcastically.Just as Constantine was at the end of his rope, Ruger's voice finally sounded in his head. Although Constantine usually found Ruger's voice to be very annoying, at this moment of his greatest despair, Ruger's voice could not be any sweeter in Constantine's ear.Completely ignoring Ruger's sarcastic words, Constantine frantically shouted at him."Old man, you're finally here. quick do something, I'm about to be run over!""You... who are you calling an old man? For your information, I am only 3000 years old. I am still in the prime of my youth." Ruger bragged.'3000 years was not old!!!' Constantine thought in his mind. He had an incredible urge to comment on that right now, but he quickly shook his head and removed that thought from his mind. Now was not the time to deal with that.In the end, Constantine responded, "Wow, you're so young. How powerful... you're simpl
As Constantine was hesitating whether or not to take the risk to let Ruger use the dormant powers in his body, he suddenly heard the rumbling behind him caused by the countless number of dooms charging towards him.At that moment, Constantine's expression changed and he no longer had the time to consider things anymore.For a moment, Constantine had forgotten where he was and that he was currently in danger... how could he have the luxury of time to start, considering if Ruger was scheming against him now?Even if it turns out that there was indeed a scheme afoot, Constantine had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Ruger up on his offer. That was the only way he could possibly escape here with his life intact.At this moment, Constantine forced out the strength to continue running while turning his head back to see how close the dooms were to him. The scene he greeted him when Constantine turned his head around almost caused his heart to stop.<
As soon as Constantine gave the go-ahead, Ruger acted quickly as he immediately exerted the remaining power of his soul that was had yet to completely fuse with Constantine, burrowed deep within Constantine's soul, and merged together.Ruger was very familiar with this process, as he had done it many times over the course of one year.While Constantine had been in a coma for the past year, Ruger had actually already woken up to learn of his failure in possessing the boy. At first, when he learned that he had failed, Ruger had not been too concerned about it. Knowing that a mortal's soul was ultimately weak, it wouldn't be able to bear the weight of his powerful soul. This was clear since Constantine had yet to wake up.It was because Ruger's soul was too powerful for Constantine to absorb everything at once that he had fallen asleep to slowly merge with Ruger's soul.Ruger felt that this was a chance for him to try to possess Constantine's soul again, so
