DESTINY GAMES

Glory-2 had become stronger after the collision, but his shadow form was too fragile. It buckled under the weight of so much power. So it was his ability that killed him, not the collision with the mountain.

What happened got him thinking. He said to himself, "The ability itself should not have a limit to how much power it can carry. That’s what makes it an omega ability. Unfortunately, the foundation of the ability is weak."

If it were him, he is sure he could mitigate some of the stress of the ability thanks to his strong body and his ability to heal. But that will only increase the amount of power that his body can withstand. It can’t make him withstand limitless power.

He asked himself, "What ability should I use to solve this?"

There was one ability that came to mind. It was one that Wrath had hoped Zain wouldn’t have when Pauli had sent him after Kelvin.

Wrath had hoped that Zain didn’t have invincibility or invulnerability. Wrath had also hoped that Zain didn’t gain kinetic energy from light and sound.

While he has solved the source of kinetic energy through speed force and can continue to produce more kinetic energy as long as he is moving, he needs one of the other two abilities to solve the problem of his limit.

He said to himself, "Maybe I need both. Both will surely solve my problem."

Invincible is being impossible to defeat, destroy, or kill. One need doesn’t need to have all three qualities. Just one quality is enough.

The most common type of invincibility and probably the only type of invincibility he has seen is being impossible to defeat. The person that possesses it has endless stamina. They will always stand back up and continue to fight.

They can be killed by overwhelming power, but as long as they have a shred of life in them, they will recover and continue to struggle.

Such a person can survive even in space. They will be frozen, but they won’t die.

As for invulnerability, he has seen it in only one person. That person’s body can’t be harmed at all. They can be defeated, but not killed.

Or so everyone thought. Then the person disappeared later.

It was Wrath that told him that the person was the paragon that was thrown into the cold void of space. The cold didn’t harm him at all, but he suffocated until he died because of the lack of oxygen.

He believes that if he has these two abilities, he will be able to solve his problem. So he decided to look for them.

Of course, he didn’t go looking for them himself. Instead, he sent a shadow out to look for them.

He remained in the core of the world, where he could lament without a care in the world.

"If only I knew where the ring of the body is, it would surely solve my problem with Juggernaut’s Force."

He has an idea where to get invincibility from. It is from the black market where he used to get slaves for abilities.

There is a race of slaves called minotaurs. They have an ability called invincibility.

Unfortunately, their invincibility is only an alpha ability. That means it scales with his power rating and won’t grant him infinite invincibility. It just grants enhanced stamina and physical and mental durability.

This is better than nothing since there are currently no humans in Earth-11 with an omega-level invincibility.

The best that humans have is a guy that gets stronger the more damage he receives. It is not what he wants, but he believes he can get something good out of the two abilities if he fuses them.

As for invulnerability, there is only one super that he knows that has that. It is true invulnerability that makes the person invulnerable to physical damage.

Thanks to this ability, he won’t need to waste time and game points fusing abilities in order to acquire invulnerability. Unfortunately, no one knows the true identity of the person.

The person is a ghost on the internet. They can’t be found anywhere on the internet, so he doesn’t know where to even begin looking for them.

This made him lament again. He sighed and said, "If I had the ring of knowledge, I’d surely be able to find this person. I might even be able to find the bearer of the ring of the body and the ring of power with it."

It is unfortunate that the bearer of the ring of knowledge also hides themselves. If they didn’t, no matter how tough the security they have around them, he would still be able to find them. And thanks to his shadows, he will surely be able to attempt killing them.

Actually, he is willing to negotiate with the bearer of the ring of knowledge for information on the identities of the other ring bearers because of how much is at stake.

If he can get the ring of power, for instance, not only will his abilities automatically become Omega abilities, but he will also be immune to nullification and other abilities from the null division.

That way he will at least not be rendered powerless around the Patriarch. With some trickery using his shadows, he might be able to kill the Patriarch and get away with it. Then he will gain immortality.

It is not immortality that will protect him from true gods. It might not even save him from demigods. But it will still count as something.

With immortality on the table, he is willing to come to some sort of agreement with the bearer of the ring of knowledge. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know the identity of the person.

Not that it will work even if he knew the identity of the bearer of the ring of knowledge. He doesn’t think negotiations will work because if he were the bearer of the ring of knowledge, it is unlikely that he would admit his identity and help someone who will come after him in the future.

"I guess I’ll have to wait until I can sense the other rings. For now, I will have to rely on Solid Material Shifting ability to create something capable of withstanding the power of Juggernaut’s Force."

"If I can make something truly durable, I will be able to increase the upper limit of the force I can bear with Juggernaut’s Force."

While he was lazing around thinking of the solutions to his problems, Glory-4 found the graphene that he wanted.

The shadow got from a lab. He was fast and strong enough to directly attack the lab, overwhelm their defenses, and steal the graphene since he had Kelvin’s A-rank power, but he didn’t have to do that.

The lab belonged to a corporation. He could surely steal what he wanted, but he felt it wasn’t worth it to fight the corpos for it while Icon was lurking around.

So instead of fighting to steal the graphene, he simply offered the corpos money and bought it. Things went smoothly and, most importantly, quietly.

Now that the shadow clone had the graphene, Kelvin urged him to buy a large bomb.

He made his instructions very clear. "Buy the biggest bomb that you can find. No, scratch that. Buy the biggest bomb that they have. If they are not selling it, I am open to stealing it."

He wasn’t willing to steal graphene so as not to draw attention, but he is contemplating getting his shadows to steal a bomb.

It is because the power of the volcanic eruption that will trap is dependent on the bomb. So the bomb is very important.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to steal a bomb. He was able to buy a sufficiently powerful one from a powerful mafia gang.

This trade was done in another city, not New London. Now that he can go anywhere on earth, he isn’t restricted to New London anymore.

The shadow got the bomb and was even able to acquire transportation to move it close to an active volcano.

The bomb was the size of a train carriage. It was heavier than a titan carriage, though, since it wasn’t empty.

It was almost 10 tons in weight. Kelvin was very satisfied with it.

The shadow picked up this large thermobaric bomb and began climbing the mountain with it. It was so heavy that it caused the shadow to create loud footsteps.

His two feet stomped on the ground and created so much ruckus that birds and animals in the surrounding area ran away. It didn’t help that he was rushing up the mountain.

So he was practically stumping his way up the mountain. To say that his passage was noticeable would be an understatement.

But there was nothing the shadow could do about it. He didn’t have super speed, so he could only take his sweet time reaching the top of the volcano.

As for those who came up to stop him, he killed them with Life Siphon. His range with that ability is very wide thanks to his powerful mind.
