THE JOURNEY (DESTINATION IN OBLIVION)

JOURNEY TEN

~HOL~

I brought out a paper and scribbled some stuff across the paper, it was the first skill of the first part of the deified Ultra Combat Arts. I skipped the preparatory parts that activates the deity's potion since it's going to be a waste of time. He hasn't taken the potion and I don't have any. Even if I do, I won't even waste it on a rascal like him. I wrote the precautions and sketched the standing training positions, it doesn't even look too complete but he wouldn't find out anyway. After picking the heads and the tails and joining them in an understandable way, I tossed them to him and told him to learn it as fast as possible then he whipped out the translated text and give it to me. A sinister smile etched across my face as he walked off, he translated the text too well and I can now learn the real second part without any setback. Also, I gave him a vague and pointless exercise to keep him off me for now, it seems to be a very good bargain after all.

"Deified Arms" I stared at the paper given to me by Hol and I couldn't even make a head or tail of the whole thing so I asked IP for help. He scanned the paper and started to repeat the same sentence "searching for similitude" after searching for a while, a load of information manifested itself like a large television in form of an hologram before me but after a while, some of them started to dissappear and then only one stream of text was left, suddenly IP started to say..

FILE TITLE: DEITY SUTRA

FILE SITUATION : 100 YEARS UNACCESSED ON BRAIN WEB

PROBING EFFECT: NONE

FILE ACCLAIMED TO :NONE

I stared at it for a while and found out that the inscription made by Hol is nothing but vagued jargon. The real thing was just discovered by IP anonymously, after it was shrouded on a private cloud by the writer. It's real name is even deity sutra. I didn't know IP was that powerful though, I thanked it with all my strength and it replied nicely. It still speaks with Trevor's personality which I am very much convenient with.

I started to practice the activation stage that Hol skipped completely. The sutra warned that the person that wishes to practice should have the deity's potion in it's blood/genes to attain perfection but I just skipped the part, learning without the deity's potion would make some changes anyway, I guessed. After practicing for about half an hour, I started to feel some changes in my body, I started to grasp the perception of time and moment. So I proceeded to the first skill.

"The sky, the earth, the arm, all together to harm". Those were the words that were at the beginning of Deified arms. After practicing for a while, my hands started to feel heavier and after half an hour, the hands were so heavy and painful, I had to endure it until it started to ease steadily. Then I started to feel a powerful surge of energy in my arms, so I practiced some positions and techniques in the sutra and surprisingly, I could execute them perfectly.

I didnt know that the deified Ultra Combat Arts is so powerful, I can now realize that it's been four days that I have practiced and it looks like my hands have a mind of their own and anytime I try to practice the fist techniques, and it's defence capabilities, my hands feel like they could sunder a mountain. Few days later, when I was brushing my teeth, I decided to use my new found abilities to brush faster, that was when I noticed that my eyes started to exude a faint blue color and my hands moved really fast injuring my mouth. I quickly removed the toothbrush and I noticed that my blood's color has started to change, I was spooked by the spectacle. These powers are not something I could control, I thought, as I decided to consult Hol to help me control the powers before I damaged myself, I quickly asked vMax to retrieve the chamber and brushing mirror as I headed to the entrance to get to the training ground because according to my perception, it should be training time.

After entering the training hall, I walked down to Hol's usual sitting spot and he was there studying the translated text I wrote for him. I quickly explained to him that I couldn't control the powers bestowed by "Deified arms" and I needed his help to control and surge it perfectly. What do you mean? He asked, peering into my eyes, his eyes is like an endless abyss. If I can't explain then I will show you then, I said as I threw my arms at him, his face went grim.

~Hol~

I was perusing the combat exercise I practiced yesterday when bug guy approached me again, I wonder what he wants this time, immediately he approached I noticed that his eyes has started to take on the Deified form. How is that possible, he hasnt even taken the potion and if he has somehow done that, I didnt even teach him how to activate the potions powers, even if he can do that, how will that be possible within a few days. It took me six good months to activate the potions powers and master Fang Called me a genius for that, activating it within a few days is nigh Impossible. "I need you to help me control the powers your" deified arms" you gave me, he said, breaking through my thoughts. What do you mean? I asked, utterly confused, maybe if I can't tell you I will show you, he blurted then flung his arm at me.
