Darkened Daylight

---step---step---step---step---step---

I continued to walk for a few minutes. There was no one near me. But, I was able to feel it. Cold eyes glaring at me from a distance. There weren't any crooks or asymmetrons. They were just dwellers of zooviya who came to the side planet to gain ascension.

[Presently, the people who dwell in this side planet are experts that want to receive a re-evaluated rank and be announced as demigods to the entire zooviya from the dark crevasses who are disguising themselves as deities. This side planet was once the castle ground of the late gods of this world. But now, it is just a training ground for mortal infinitos to receive a lifespan extension. I have to bring this world back to its former criterion... First, I have to deal with these bunch of fools.]

I turned towards my right and remained on the same spot. Still, there was no reaction from the other side. I had no choice but to make the first move.

[They refuse to fight me head-on and want to observe me from afar, huh? Fine, if you fools want to do it your way, then I will it in my own way.

Authority to 'understand'...]

---whooosh---

I started to feel the atmosphere around me and began to understand the flow of aroma. I was also able to feel the aura and magic of the people who were spying on me. They were lurking behind the woods. They were using magic and weird techniques to make themselves invisible. But, I can still feel their presence and body structures. I understood their power levels by the amount of power they were containing and the refined nature in it.

[There are a total of eight infinitos behind those woods. All of them are in the darkened yellow flames stage.

In the absolute abyss, the level of infinitos is at the darkened crimson and darkened orange flames stage in the lower sub-realms; darkened yellow and darkened green flames stage in the medium sub-realms; and darkened blue, darkened indigo and then darkened violet flames stage in the higher sub-realms. The colour of their eyes is what represents the their power level. If all these people had the black and yellow eyes, then this world must be in a medium sub-realm.

Right now, I am in the darkened crimson flames stage. I might not be a match for those fools if I was an ordinary infinito. But, power is not about the stage. Although my level is the lowest, it is the most refined. These darkened yellow flames stage experts do not have the dark energy as refined as mine. I can reign supreme over others with just a little amount of energy. I can also stand on equal footing to a mutant asymmetron with this level of mastery and refinery of power.]

"Stop the petty tricks, you fools. I know you all are lurking in these woods. It would be better if you show yourselves!", I said inorder to bait them to my provocation.

---flash---flick---flip---

Three experts took the initiative to attack me. The first one was a close combatant with two double sided blades in his hands. He had a ponytail and a verdi beard. His speed was visible to my eyes.

The second person was a female elf. She must have been an elf before her soul ended up in the absolute abyss. She charged with a spear. Her hair colour was silver and the right ear was missing half of the muscle. The speed was combined with swiftness such that on the outside, it seemed like she appeared out of nowhere.

The third infinito was a young boy with a double edged sword. He just jumped out of a portal in mid-air. They were wearing white robes and yellow pants with brown coloured knee boots.

I coursed my power throughout my veins and,

---dash---

I moved behind them at a high speed hence avoiding their attack.

"Huh? Where is he? He was here just a moment ago. How can an evil god who is at the darkened crimson flames stage avoid an attack from us experts who are two levels above him!", said the verdi bearded man.

"Darkened crimson flames stage? Doesn't that mean he is from a lower dimension? There is no way he was a demon god!", said the infinito female elf.

[These people refer sub-realms as dimensions, huh? And what's with the demon god.]

"Sweyley, behind you!", the man shouted towards the female elf.

---jump---

All three of them, jumped back from me and were in their battle stance. The 'understand' authority was still under usage. Soon, I saw something unexpected.

---beep(x3)---

Three beeps were heard from those infinitos. I saw translucent tabs opening in mid-air right on their faces.

[Wait, that's the system that was duplicated by the dark crevasses. It is meant to be only visible by one's own perspective. One can not see the system tab of the other. So, how am I able to see the system panels of these three?]

"!!!!"

The system panel of the verdi beardman displayed words and letter in reverse. That's when I understood everything. They were looking at their own system panels. It is just that, the 'understand' authority increased my insight on the atmosphere, which inturn made the people's system tabs visible to my eyes.

[I already comprehended the linguistic knowledge of this world. I can understand what they are saying. And 'understand' is making me gain insight on the ongoing crisis.]

The system panels of the three people soon became completely visible to my eyes. The top part of the system panel displayed the words 'status bar'. Their name, age and innate traits and also stats that are strength, speed, intelligence and confidence were displayed in it. I didn't care much about the stats. I only read their names, years and innate traits. Although the display was facing towards the host, I was able to read them even in reverse.
