Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 460: Death flees

As Yunan carefully felt around his Karmic Luck ability, time flew around him without indication. Effort was focused on including the pure Karma into himself, while both Tasha and old man Death knew better than to wake Yunan up from his contemplations and musings, not that it ended in harm for them, it was just the nagging part they tried to avoid, and the accidental activation of the accursed Karmic luck trait.

Death had witnessed first hand the effects of Karmic luck when it retaliated, he was a god of Death, powerful enough to extinguish universes like they were candle flames blown out with a gust of wind, but he feared that ability. its retaliation hurt, and it was always on an entirely different order of magnitude compared to the trigger.

Deep in that state of open thought, Yunan finally understood how his little ability could do what it did for him, it was linked to every being touched by Karma and by Luck, everything touched by those laws, almost everything was part of the web this ability could target. Very few things in creation could escape the effects of this ability, even the great eye on top of creation was not an exception, as Yunan had been hidden from its sight and senses multiple times already.

What was more was that through the right type of manipulation, Yunan not only could find a person, he could also listen to them, read their memories, change their future, manipulate their luck and much, much more, he could even watch through their eyes and listen to their inner thoughts.

But this type of manipulation was beyond the current Yunan, him sensing the ability, and the extent to where it reached was all for now. He still could not manipulate the ability, however, directing its next activation was not an impossibility anymore, not that Yunan would even try to control something on this kind of scale.

The current "Karmic manipulation" Yunan was capable of was not enough to do much with the ability, worse, was that he did not know the consumption required to even start on the lowest levels of control, even with his new reserves, he did not think he had accumulated enough.

This session was not void of good news, he learned something very crucial to his advancement. Effort; his unique Divinity was a compatible fuel for the Karmic luck ability to activate, especially now that it has started digesting the pure Karma, it grew an affinity with Karma itself and by extension Karmic luck.

When Yunan opened his and returned to consciousness, he found that he could see thing differently now, the entire world was full of strings, attaching this to that, even dreams had Karmic ties among them, between them, Yunan, Dreamscape and even Cattolu had some strings. These strings went into all directions, he could instinctively identify those that touched his home universe, a smidgen of familiarity was what clued him.

Death and Tasha were close by, both had things to say, Yunan could see it in their strings, one of these strings was especially thrumming with activity. Yunan blinked his eyes and willed the strings to go away from his vision, he did not care about them for now, they would just complicate his already complicated thought process. Not to mention all the karma entailed in getting into contact with any of these strings.

"Let's hear it then" Yunan spoke gently, he could sense from Dreamscape they were getting close enough to the karmic universe, if neither Death nor Tasha spoke about what they had in mind, they would probably have to wait till after his conquest. He did not mind them keeping silent for now, he just did not want the two to be simmering in their indecisiveness.

"Revive her home universe, Null will keep some of the lesser primordials off of your back, three times is the promise, that is the limit before the end comes and the next null takes over." old man Death spoke, Tasha gaped and Yunan nearly jumped out of his skin.

The words brought with them an aura so empty and ancient that the surroundings started to turn into nothing, disintegrating by their own volition. Everything decayed as the words left old Deaths mouth, the words travelled not as sound but as will.

"Accepted" was all Yunan could say to the being behind those words, for all his growth and explosive reserves, he knew that if the words targeted him with any intent, he would have turned to ash. What else could he do when a primordial gave him an exchange so skewed in Yunan's favour.

Old man Death had a bitter expression, Tasha looked like she was about to storm out of the room and Yunan was still registering the fact that a primordial deigned to personally speak to him, he did not even dare to contemplate his mission. To revive a universe meant it was not completely dead, it meant that its core laws were still there to support it, albeit weak and weakening as time passes.

Only when the ancient and empty aura completely left the place did the tenseness among the three showed itself, and as they felt the stress from each other, they began to relax. At least the great existence was not planning to stay there anymore, or it did not care what the three planned to do and how they would accomplish the mission.

"Well, that was it, you heard the boss, now I leave you to it, have fun, don't call me in the next millennia or three okay? Bye-bye". The words followed a puff of necrotic energy that swallowed the old man Death and took him somewhere far away from here. He probably felt he was going to be pushed into the role of null if he stuck around. No, he was sure of it, Yunan and those around him always had things like this happen to them.

"He ran away" lamented Yunan, perhaps the old man had wizened up a little bit and no longer was as sure of his superiority. If he had stayed, Yunan was surely going to give him a big packet full of laws, the old coot always brought him trouble when he returned from being away
