Chapter 755: Serves You Right!
Chapter 755: Serves You Right!
Within the soothing confines of a hot spring, Feng Ye lay comfortably on the edge of the pool, his body submerged halfway, with his shoulders and upper body exposed. His arms were casually draped over the rim of the spring, his head resting on a protruding stone as he closed his eyes.
He was in the process of adjusting the power within him.
For beings beyond the black hole-level, strengthening entailed the relentless consumption of stellar energy and the continual creation of new power systems to enhance their control over their abilities.
Ordinarily, the path to becoming stronger involved creating a new energy system, gradually perfecting it, and then using the power of that system to devour several or more stars, pushing the system to its limits before forging ahead with new explorations.
This was the most prudent path to power.
It was also the reason why beings like Chaos would create a world—as the most orthodox approach to this process was world-building.
By creating a world, one could experiment with their power systems, gradually organizing and refining them, and then repeating the process by creating new worlds.
In contrast, directly consuming the power systems of others carried a certain degree of instability.
This was because when one created their own power system, it inherently aligned perfectly with their inherent capabilities from the outset.
To put it simply, Feng Ye, who possessed the power systems of the Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, and One-Punch Man worlds, would, if he were to create a new world and forge a new power system, undoubtedly build it upon the foundation of his existing strengths.
The power systems of the Naruto and Bleach worlds, among others, served as the building blocks of a pyramid, each layer requiring harmonious integration to form a stable power core.
However, directly consuming the power systems of others was akin to forcibly dismantling large chunks of layers and blocks from another pyramid, inevitably resulting in pieces that varied in size and shape, necessitating painstaking adjustments to attain a perfect fit.
And this was precisely what Feng Ye was engaged in.
In reality, consuming power and energy systems that far exceeded twice his own total strength, with a mere thirty stars worth of power, was a risky endeavor.
If Chaos were to do the same, even if he were given the power of a two-hundred-star being, he would still proceed with utmost caution, inching his way forward rather than devouring it all at once.
Feng Ye's boldness in consuming so much at once stemmed from his command over the power of the Illusory Clock, which granted him the ability to rewind time and retrace his steps should any problems arise.
Thus, he was unafraid of unforeseen circumstances.
"More complete and more robust than my own," Feng Ye murmured to himself as he adjusted these newfound powers.
While he had mastered the powers of each world exceptionally well and combined them flawlessly, he had not been cultivating for more than ten thousand years.
In comparison, Chaos had existed for hundreds of millions of years, and its power systems had naturally coalesced more tightly and robustly over such an extended duration.
Decoding an entity of this caliber held immense benefits for Feng Ye, such as understanding the proper direction for cultivating his power systems, a revelation he had gained only after analyzing Chaos' power systems.
Feng Ye proceeded methodically, unhurried. What he had devoured now belonged to him, and there was no need for haste.
Lisanna spotted Feng Ye lounging in the hot spring and, holding onto the edge of the wall, she turned to gesture for silence to the group below.
Juvia transformed into a stream of water and flowed up to the wall, soon followed by Mira, who gracefully leaped to Lisanna's side. On the other side, Lucy and Levy carefully helped each other climb up as well.
"Honestly..."
Erza remained uninvolved, sitting by the side of the hot spring, watching Lisanna and the others with a slight sigh of helplessness.
Wendy, her face reddened, stayed in the water, too shy to join the others. Although she had bathed with Feng Ye before, this felt different—like they were sneaking around. However, she knew Feng Ye wouldn't get angry about something like this.
Over there.
Although Feng Ye was adjusting his internal powers, he wasn't oblivious to the outside world and had naturally noticed Lisanna and the others' actions.
He opened his eyes and looked in their direction, a hint of amusement in his voice as he asked, "Are you all looking to be confined to your rooms?"
The reason he had specifically separated himself was to adjust his powers, and during this process, there might be fluctuations in the power within his body. While it wouldn't leak out, any internal turbulence would still affect the outside world, similar to what had happened before.
However, in the time that had passed, he had already made some adjustments, and such violent fluctuations wouldn't occur again. Only subtle ripples would be felt, not as intense as before.
Whoosh!
Feng Ye raised his hand and pointed at Lisanna and the others.
Suddenly, the solid wall they were perched upon turned illusory, and Lisanna and the rest cried out as they tumbled down, landing in a messy heap.
Juvia and Lucy were at the very bottom, and Juvia simply turned into a puddle of water, immune to such physical harm, and cushioning the fall for those above her. Lucy, however, didn't have that ability.
"Ouch, that hurt..."
But Lucy was a mage, and Feng Ye had softened the ground slightly, so she only received a light punishment in the form of a fall, without any actual injuries.
Mira, of course, was quick enough to react, but she chose not to. She, too, landed with a plop, but thanks to Juvia beneath her, she maintained her cheerful expression and said,
"Oh no! We've been caught. The peeping operation has failed."
"Brother Feng Ye..."
Lisanna, on the other hand, flipped in the air, landing gracefully on her feet. She smiled at Feng Ye and asked, "Do you need a back scrub?"
Feng Ye didn't say anything. With a wave of his hand, Lisanna was knocked down by an invisible force, along with the others, who were all restrained by his magic and pressed to the ground in a line, Juvia included, forced out of her water state.
Then.
Feng Ye raised his hand and waved it at Lisanna and the others in the air.
Smack!
A crisp sound rang out, and everyone felt a slap on their behind.
"Serves you right."
Over in the other hot spring, Erza watched this scene with a casual sip of fruit juice.
