Constantine's father was hell-bent to go to any lengths just to find his son. He didn't care what the cost was or what sort of consequence he had to bear. To him, everything was worth it as long as he could get his son back.
Compared to losing Constantine and watching his lovely wife slowly waste away due to the loss of her child, the cost of finding Constantine seemed cheap to Kaiden.
To most parents, no cost was greater than the loss of a child.
With his mind made up, Kaiden got ready to settle this matter as soon as possible so they could rescue Constantine. He dismissed the bespectacled man, then sent Fan to live with Erza's family before taking a leave of absence from his work to deal with this matter properly.
Kaiden did not decide to go to his boss for help and wanted to do everything on his own, so he wouldn't implicate his boss' family. Although he knew that his boss, who was Baron's and Erza's father, would not hesitate to lend a helping hand in
There were many factors that contributed to Constantine's rapid increase in strength, apart from his diligent and shameless training. Some of these factors included the experience gotten from Ruger's memories, which Constantine was directly able to absorb into his own memories and fuse together to supplement Constantine's current training experience.This allowed Constantine to be able to directly summarize his own experiences and quickly learn how to use his power, thus increasing his strength. Without the help of Ruger's memories, even if Constantine trained hellishly like this, he may not be able to achieve the same results as now.Another reason was Constantine could grow so fast was natural because of the talent bestowed on him by the cancellation lightning ability.This talent was not only reflected in his powerful physique that made Constantine suitable to learn martial arts, but it was also reflected in his powerful calculative abilities, which also stre
Bam!Constantine had just sent a two-meter tall flying with a strike of his fist, causing it to fly back more than five meters before exploding into a cloud of dust and sand.Cough! Cough!After defeating the last of the dooms in the sandstorm, Constantine sat down weakly on the heavy sand, coughing. There was a thick layer of sand and dust all over Constantine's body, causing him to appear dirty. His hair was largely disheveled and his entire being looked wildly unkempt.Constantine looked all over himself as he tried to remove the sand and dust stuck on him his body. He felt very uncomfortable when he felt sand in his nether regions and in other places that were very difficult to clean up.Fortunately, Constantine was glad that he was not covered in sweat despite all the extreme movements he had just finished making. It was because all the sweat produced by his body was evaporated that it was like this. If not for the stand sticking all over his
"Dooms are elemental life-forms," Ruger said."Really?" Constantine asked in surprise."Is that true? You're not just messing with me, are you?" he said to Ruger suspiciously."And why would I want to do that?" Ruger asked in return, puzzled."It's not like it would change otherwise. These creatures of elemental life forms, no matter what I say.""But why are they different from the elemental life forms I have heard about? " Constantine was still confused. He didn't think Ruger would lie to him because, as he said, there was no need for him to do that.Constantine continued, "I remember that elemental life forms do not have physical bodies. Their bodies are usually made up of energy bodies fashioned after specific types of elements and they are generally immune to physical damage. Although when elemental life forms are killed, they also dissipate without leaving any corpses just like these dooms, they usually drop something like an elemental
The sound of wind blowing across the barren desert and fine sand moving along with its movement was the only sound that could be heard as Constantine sat down in silence while contemplating Ruger's words.Constantine had to agree that Ruger did make a lot of sense...Normally, there were not many people who were obstinate and foolhardy when it came to their own views. But every once in a while, you would actually meet some people that were just like that.These people felt their own views and perspectives were right and correct when they were actually just wrong, but they were just too stubborn to admit it.Just like the example Ruger gave, about how people said there were no red apples and only green ones just because red apples were a result of artificial cultivation so they couldn't be considered real apples...Would anybody actually believe that there was somebody who had this kind of belief and refused to be convinced otherwise?There w
"How?" Constantine did not know the answer, so he didn't waste brain cells coming up with one and asked Ruger directly. "Beats me if I know!" was Ruger's timely reply. "But I couldn't help noticing something interesting. I don't know if you would be curious to know what it was." Sigh! Constantine was exasperated. Ruger was clearly baiting him into asking questions, but he had no choice but to bite and ask. "Oh no, what could be so interesting? Please, don't hold back, do tell!" Constantine asked sarcastically. "Che! you're no fun at all," Ruger said, displeased. "Very, let me tell you..." "You've probably not noticed by now, but do you know what the sand you're sitting on is actually composed of?" As soon as Constantine heard this question, he knew something was wrong... Every time Ruger started a sentence with a word noticed in it, there was usually some kind of profound information coming out o
In Ruger's hypothetical scenario, there were four assumptions. Each pointing at different limitations in a hypothetical world. Constantine tried his best to answer Ruger's question based on the assumptions he had made. He first thought about what kind of limitations existed in each assumption before he even considered thinking of coming up with a solution. This way, by recognizing the problems, he could better come up with a solution.The first assumption was that the hypothetical world has a fixed total amount of energy meant to ensure the survival of itself and the creatures inhabiting the world. The entire assumption had already pointed out a serious problem which was having a fixed amount of resources with virtually limited ways of renewing said energy.This kind of scenario is called a dead-end scenario in most cases, where the outcome could already be determined from the beginning. If the world did not find ways to replenish its lost energy, then the only outcome
Why did Constantine come up with the idea of devouring other worlds?Well, the answer to that is simple... it is because in the memories he inherited from Ruger, while Constantine was trying to figure out a solution to the problem plaguing the hypothetical world, a memory suddenly sprang in his mind.In this memory, there were records of sentient worlds that had already developed a kind of will of their own and liked to invade other worlds in order to plunder the origin of other worlds and assimilate it into their own to make their own origins stronger.The origin of a world was a kind of base law that governed all the aspects of any world. It was what determined the kind of system of law, a world adopted in all facets of life and existence.Think of world origin as the source code of a world and by plundering the origin of another world you were actually stripping said a world of their sources code and using it to update and optimize your own source code
After Constantine cleared his thoughts, he quickly turned to Ruger and asked him."Is the doom world trying to devour earth and fuse with its origin?"Without hesitation, Ruger answered, "Yes, that is indeed the case. I guess you got that answer from my memories, didn't you?""So it's true," Constantine ignored Ruger's last question as he mused. But he did not dwell on this discovery for a long before he started asking that troubled him the most."How exactly does this work? In what way is the doom world attempting to fuse with earth and how does it have anything to do with the nature of these dooms as elemental creatures that we were previously discussing?"These three questions were what troubled Constantine the most. Although he understood from Ruger's memories the concept of origin devouring, Constantine didn't know the exact process of how it is carried out.Constantine felt that as long as he could understand the process of the doom wo
