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
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
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
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
Constantine was scared shitless when he saw how expensive it was to use the interdimensional courier service. He didn't dare to harbor the thought of it anymore and simply shut out that piece of memory in his brain like it was a plague. After that, Constantine frowned and spoke to Ruger again, "Alright I get it.... we can't use that method to get back home, so think of a way to do so already." "What about that thing you did when you let us escape from that doom that almost killed us?" "What thing?" Ruger asked nonchalantly. "You know, that thing... the thing with the lightning and the thunder that swallowed all the lights in the surroundings until it was a dark an abyss and you tore a hole through the very fabric of space. That thing. Can't you use it to get us home like I don't know? You could create another rift that leads to earth using that ability?" "I know you can do it. I've seen it thousands of times in your memories." Constantine said
"What are you talking about?" Constantine asked in confusion."What didn't I feel?"Constantine was puzzled by Ruger's words. It was confusing enough when Ruger mentioned that coming here was an opportunity and that he shouldn't be in a hurry to go back to earth. But now he was saying something about Constantine not feeling something. It all sounded so cryptic and Constantine did not like it when things are said in a cryptic manner... it pissed him off a lot.Besides that, going back to the first point, how was appearing on a foreign planet that was completely hostile to Constantine not a bad thing and it could even be described as an opportunity that couldn't be missed?The way Constantine saw it, there was no opportunity in this desert. Only the threat of death from the harsh environment and hostile creatures that were out to get him at the first sight. Constantine could not even picture any opportunities existing in the vast and seemingly endless deser
Hearing Constantine admit that he had never fought against a doom personally before, Ruger sneered and continued asking."In that case, since you've never fought with a doom before, what gave you the idea that you could defeat them just because your strength increased?"Boom!It was like an explosion went off inside Constantine's brain, waking him up at this moment.That's right... just because his strength increased and he awakened powers, what made him think that he would definitely be a match for the dooms and be able to kill them?Constantine asked himself this question. He admitted that he had indeed overlooked something.These dooms were not ordinary creatures... they were not the tigers and lions on earth that were stronger than humans. The dooms were creatures from another world and they were even stronger than tigers and lions on earth. Even the weakest one-meter tall doom could one-shot a tiger. This goes to show how much stronger
