God's Eyes

Chapter 683: Technology

It had been a long time since he’d used Degar, but holding the blazing red desert eagle in his hand, Jason couldn’t help but smile lightly.

Because cultivating allowed people to increase their lifespan, bend nature’s law, and survive something normal beings would never be able to, technology advanced mostly in one direction- comfort.

As such, it was a rare sight for the Aeus and Devirs to see the desert eagle Jason was holding.

There were societies or even entire planets that were fully focused on advancing their technology, but in most cases, World bridges or other means were much more convenient for such things.

Thus, Jason hadn’t even heard anything about spaceships so far.

He found this to be a little bit sad because on Argos everyone wanted to advance in technology, and had been trying to enter space, only to make no headway.

Meanwhile, the beings that were able to do so didn’t even care about it.

It was evident that most guns were of little use in the face of cultivators at a much higher stage, but that didn’t mean they were entirely useless.

At least, not if one had a weapon that was able to kill beings at the Prisma stage, as Jason had.

However, this was only possible with enough supply of mana, and a flame that was as strong as or even more powerful than Solaris.

To put it simply, it was difficult to find something like that for a being that was at a lower stage than the one he had reached.

There might be some exceptions to this case, but the chances were slim.

Due to this, Jason also believed that most guns were rather useless in the face of stronger beings.

He himself would rather use a bow, arrows, or his affinity to fight long-range than using the desert eagle.

It was also much more exciting to only fight using one’s own capabilities without making use of guns or other similar means to kill others.

In the end, there were only a few exceptions, in which Jason would use a gun.

One of them had been the Great Argos war, where he had been forced to resort to means that would kill a large number of opponents as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Solaris’ flame could burn through his opponent, turning even seemingly useless weapons into something extraordinary as long as it was used with Solaris.

Lifting the hand holding Degar, Jason saw a small flame ignite at the tip of the barrel after which he filled the blazing bullets that were loaded into Degar’s magazine.

Until then, the assassins didn’t expect the desert eagle to cause any real damage because the amount of mana that was inserted into the gun was not much.

Little did they know that it wasn’t the blazing bullets, but mostly Solaris’ flames that needed mana!

Compressing the flames within the bullet, they were becoming stronger by the second.

Unable to suppress his smile, Jason stared at the closest assassin, who stared back at him in confusion.

He was not sure why Jason had retracted his Celestia aura out of a sudden, while the black flame armor that was enveloping his body was slowly consumed as it entered the desert eagle through the gun’s grip.

Nevertheless, Jason’s combat prowess had decreased rapidly, and it was only his smile that would have caused the others to hesitate.

Sighing visibly, he held it before pulling the trigger. 

A moment later, a thunderous *bang* resounded through the entire room as a pitch-black bullet soared through it with a terrifying velocity that was much faster than any newly advanced Prismar stage being could reach.

Thus, a fraction of a second later, the bullet pierced into the assassin’s leather armor only to penetrate it without much resistance as it burned through the Devir’s skin and flesh.

Screaming in pain, the Devir was flung away due to the impact, only to start burning much faster than the speed in which other assassins were being deprived of their energy.

Minutes into the fight, more than 20 assassins were already burning and about to succumb to their injuries.

Having no means to extinguish the flames within them, they were unable to do anything due to the low cultivation base they had reached.

This was exactly the reason why Jason was not bothered by them.

Instead, he was more focused on the unscathed assassins whose entire combat prowess was relatively unused.

Nevertheless, the other assassins were also able to use the runes on their weapons in the absence of the rune disrupting device.

Unfortunately, this was something they noticed too late because Jason emptied his magazine within a single second.

During the Great Argos war this would have been unthinkable, however, now his physique was able to handle the Degar’s impact without much trouble.

It was still somewhat strong, but that was only obvious because the weapon had been constructed using the best materials one could find on Argos.

This meant that Degar was made of Prismar ranked materials, which might that it was not the best if he were to compare it with Manyrs’ resources.

As such, it was completely different in comparison to Argos, where Prismar stage beings had been the strongest, while Degar was strong enough to kill every being as long as one had enough mana.

Nevertheless, Degar was still more than enough to kill everyone at the Low Prisma stage.

That was, if he had enough time to refill the gun’s magazine with bullets, mana, and Solaris’ blazing hot fire.

With seven bullets hitting and severely injuring seven assassins, there were only a handful of the assassins left who had just entered the room, eying him with a glint of multiple mixed emotions in their eyes.

As such, Jason couldn’t help but smile as he flared up with his Celestia aura once again, before replacing Degar’s magazine with another one that was filled with armor-piercing bullets.

A moment later, he was exerting the Floating Sky movement technique, before appearing next to the closest opponent.

With Degar’s barrel pointed at the oblivious Aeus’ head, Jason didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.

The young Aeus’ head exploded and the insides of his brain scattered through the air, only for Jason to move ahead as if nothing had happened.

Right now he couldn’t show any mercy, or afford to slow down.

Jennifer was fighting with her life on the line to protect him, thus, wasting more time meant that he would endanger her.

This was something he wanted to prevent by all means.

With that in mind, he summoned Solaris into his hand, before telling it to accelerate the devouring process of its essence flames.

After giving the command, Jason saw that the already tormented assassins were screaming in pain once again.

Seeing this, Jason’s eyes remained cold as he finished off the last few opponents without further delay.

They were staring at him in fear and were paralysed with fear as Jason had already targeted them with his curses and the abyssal effect.

His mana was almost fully consumed because of this, but that didn’t matter anymore.

The armor-piercing bullets had been fully empowered and using the remaining six bullets, he put the last few opponents to death.

Though it appeared to be an easy victory for him, Jason’s mind felt as if it had been mashed, and thrown into a mixer afterward.

Multitasking had never been his forte and only after his brain had been refined multiple times owing to Solaris’ baptisms, the bloodline awakening, and the refinements his brain had to undergo when he split his mind to create the sub-areas that he had reached his current state.

Fortunately, he wouldn’t have too many problems when Spyro, the Spiral Spirit, would finally hatch, enhancing his mind and brain, instead of his physique or mana core.

Jason was already awaiting this day with high expectations, but for now, he could only turn around to see that Jennifer was finally able to focus on fighting against the last few assassins that were still standing.

‘How long will it take before I overwhelm her?’ He suddenly wondered, seeing how powerful she truly was, causing him to shake his head.

‘I am too greedy…forget it!’
