I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Chapter 496: Master Of Chaos



Revant tried to speak, but his mouth was visibly trembling; the words he wanted to utter were falling apart in shambles, and it seemed the situation had rendered him unable to piece them together accurately.

His mind was in a severe state of disarray; all he felt was the despair of nothingness.

And he was intelligible enough to know what he was feeling because he knew how sweet the taste of despair was.

However, being unable to feed on the feeling and being overwhelmed by it filled him with anguish.

He had underestimated this human and overestimated his own self. And right now, he didn't even know if he would be given a chance to redeem himself.

"While it looks like you are quite valuable, it looks to me that your liability outweighs your value. I don't think I want to be served by a liability."

Northern's tone and choice of words were carefully chosen. He was not oblivious of the fact that in terms of status alone, Revant was a soul far superior to him.

But what did it matter?

It was for that reason of superiority that he was intentionally establishing this tone, this choice of words.

If he didn't do it now and become intimidated because of Revant's innate status.

Then he wouldn't gain the respect and fear he needed for Revant to never question him and obey him.

Of course, Revant's insult didn't come as a shock. The moment he paused for a minute in the Limitless Void, he had seen a limited possibility in different timelines of what Revant would do.

Some, more cruel than this one, which was why he had chosen to send Revant out right now.

Allowed him to taste the feeling of others' despair and intentionally entered in time to make him taste his own despair.

Instilling fear and asserting the difference between the both of them, by his words and his actions.

Now that Revant had felt what despair meant through him, he could easily control.

For the time being, until Revant gained a significant amount of his power and became rebellious again.

Northern knew that Revant was not going to be an easy soul to tame.

He thought about it harder again after sending Revant out; perhaps it would be a better choice to forge his soul into a weapon.

But it wouldn't be enough. He didn't want to do that.

The enemies he was suspecting that he would be fighting, enemies such as fate? Kryos?

It only made sense that he had a Tyrant on his side too. So, he decided that he was going to go through the trouble of beating the Tyrant into a shape that he wanted.

'Until he sees me as his god.'

Even after Northern had spoken, Revant found it hard to respond under Northern's Void Aura.

Seeing that the Tyrant was struggling, "Speak," Northern ordered.

Immediately, he felt the ease of opening his mouth and arranging his words come back to

him.

He lowered his head; this time, his entire presence oozed palpable humility.

"If you decide to eliminate my soul, I will bear no regret. However, I beg that you give me a chance to redeem myself. I was mistaken."

Northern raised a brow.

'Oh? I wasn't expecting such a response.'

Even though he saw Revant utter those particular words with Chaos Eyes, he didn't see himself resorting to this means of correction.

In fact, Chaos Eyes showed him a very limited future and past, and even more limited when he tried to see other people's future and past.

It was as if Chaos Eyes only saw the part filled with chaos. The ability worked to feed Chaos to him in the end.

Northern had silently used the ability several times on random people while they were journeying to Fughal.

And this final act showed him that the future he could see was limited to Chaos not as a force but as a cause and effect.

This allowed Chaos Eyes to create optimal possibilities from other people's cause and effect of Chaos that would benefit him alone.

In other words, it fed Chaos to him.

Hence, it fed the Chaos of Revant's future which had just happened to be at the moment, to him; the part he had got to hear Revant's nasty statement about him was just a coincidence that happened, not an intentional thing.

In the future, Northern would have to prudently use this ability.

For now, he would just ride the wave of this ability until he got the hang of it. But at the very least, he was sure it wouldn't work against his favor.

What would, however, work against his own favor, were cause and effect that negated Chaos -which he can't see.

In other words, individual moments of harmony and order.

He couldn't think of ways that it would affect him right now, but he was sure that it would come to bite him in one hell of a devious manner.

Northern sighed and responded.

"I won't decide what to do with you for now; reflect on what you have done in solitary -confinement."

At his words, the Limitless Void usurped Revant from his feet, sucking him into the mold of darkness beneath.

Northern watched Revant sink into the Limitless Void, before entering his own shadows and appearing in the room, where he continued his sleep.

(In the Limitless Void)

Revant sat cross-legged within the cold and dark embrace of the tall walls, almost close to

each other.

His eyes were closed, and he was seriously reflecting on his action as Northern had instructed

him to.

At the same time, thinking and trying to make sense of what he had experienced a few

minutes ago.

'I didn't sense him arriving behind me... no, has he been watching me the entire time? That was the same movement I used to appear behind the last intruder. It seems he has been

watching me from the very beginning, and I had no idea...'

Revant tightened his shut eyes, his brows furrowing.

'How is he human? In my memory, I think humans are supposed to be weak and frail. How is it that he is so strong, even though he is clearly a human? What is it that I am not getting?'
