Mainland.
In a dark and secret place, the Goddess of Foresight was waiting patiently.
She was waiting for another foresight, to see how she is supposed to contact 'Mortal', without getting herself killed, and join his 'team'.
The last time she saw him, he was captured by the Guardian God.
But after her foresight, she didn't believe it at all!
Even if it was true, in the future, he wouldn't be in captivity.
She clearly saw what seemed to be a serious battle for her and the members of God's council, was like a live-action movie for him and those around him.
And finally, after nearly three days, she received a foresight.
But this time, it wasn't even a picture; instead, she heard two sentences!
...
Planet Lubo.
Silver platform in crystalline area.
In the morning,
Little Mortal was eating breakfast with Rose,
"That's so lame, Assistant Rose.
Why can't you go anywhere you want now that you are a level 6?
World Law is so biased."
Little Mortal shook his head at World Law in disappointment.
Rose smiled,
"I can go anywhere on Lubo planet, though.
And I'm sure in the near future, the other parts of the universe won't matter much anyway."
Little Mortal nodded,
"Exactly, we make our planet so big that it contains every other planet, and no one can even travel through all of it their whole life!
Let me tell you-"
He was going to continue boasting about the future, but the sky suddenly turned dark.
The voice of the World Law sounded,
[ Guardian of the Universe, Mortal,
You have been challenged by higher being, Tiresias.
Do you accept the challenge? ]
Little Mortal was confused at first,
Then his eyes widened in shock, and he shouted in panic,
"Oh no!
I was exposed?
By whom?
Who is this Tiresias ?"
The guardian token answered,
[ Goddess of Foresight.
The 'coward' in your revenge list. ]
Little Mortal gasped,
"See!
That's how ridiculous anything related to fate is!
What should I do now?
And why do I have a choice to accept the challenge or not accept it ?"
The guardian token answered again,
[ The challenger needs to at least have a universe to force you into a challenge.]
Little Mortal looked at the token while speechless,
"You are telling me that Coward doesn't have a universe?
Is she actually a former higher being from an incomplete universe? "
[ Affirmative, she is a Newborn .]
Little Mortal stood there in silence for a while, and then took out his notebook and erased her name from his 'Revenge List' before saying,
"I accept the challenge."
And his figure disappeared.
Rose sighed,
"Boss indeed has so much trust when it comes to higher beings from incomplete universes..."
The identity of the Goddess of Foresight indeed changed everything.
She was a Newborn, just one that was already grown up, and that was enough to erase her from any sinner's group.
That's why she was immediately removed from Little Mortal's revenge list.
...
Mainland.
Just a while ago,
Goddess of Foresight, in her hideout, finally gathered her courage and muttered the first sentence that she heard through her law of foresight.
"I, higher being Tiresias, am challenging Mortal, Guardian of the Universe. "
And then, nothing happened.
But she could feel it,
World Law actually received the message and even sent it to the other party.
It means 'Guardian of the Universe' was a real title, which 'Mortal' has, and the challenge itself was legit.
While waiting nervously, she suddenly felt her vision blur, and the next moment, she appeared in a deserted land.
This place seemed like a battlefield.
Then she heard the teasing voice of a little boy behind her who said,
"Well, well, well... If it isn't my sworn enemy, the 'always hiding in the shadows', coward!"
Goddess of Foresight gulped down and, while trying to hide her trembling hand, turned around.
A little boy, whose presence she couldn't feel, was standing behind her.
He was wearing a sleepwear with a bunch of small cats and rabbits, which were staring at her with their red, scary eyes.
The little boy had a fork in one hand and a knife in the other, which didn't seem to be a weapon.
She thought to herself,
'Did I ask for a challenge while he only woke up and was eating breakfast ?'
Seeing her quiet, Little Mortal sighed and said,
"It seems the showdown between two 'fate' experts is indeed inevitable..."
Goddess of Foresight, who came back to her senses,
didn't even hesitate and sent a secret message to World Law.
It was the second sentence that she received from her foresight, and she didn't know when she was supposed to use it, so she just said it before it was too late.
< I admit defeat. >
And at the same time, heard her opponent's excited voice sound again,
"Today, let us decide!
Which one is stronger?
My passive fat-"
But the World Law interrupted him,
[ Higher being Tiresias, admits defeat.
Mortal wins. ]
And the two were sent back to where they had been previously.
....
Planet Lubo.
Little Mortal appeared on the silver platform.
The moment he appeared, he shouted towards the sky,
"World Law!
How dare you interrupt my line?
I'm gonna spank you-"
Rumble
And another black lightning struck him!
But this time, he was quick and raised the guardian token above his head.
The token was hit first, followed by Little Mortal, and then Lubo and a random creature on the other side of the planet each received their share.
Little Mortal received backlash from three other sources this time.
Rose turned pale when she saw the lightning!
She wasn't 'awake' the last time, and wasn't a level 6 either, to really feel what kind of horrifying force this lightning contained.
But this time she saw it with her own eyes!
It was as if this lightning was custom-made for killing higher beings!
The Crystal hastily recorded the two elders inside the backpack, who were scared out of their wits for the second time.
Little Mortal, after coming out of the black smoke,
Snorted,
"So weak.
Anyway, I confirmed that the attack can hit another target before it hits me."
The guardian token, which was sacrificed for the sake of 'science',
[...]
The birth treasures who confirmed that the 'Frontline' effect is applied to them too,
< O_O >
Little Mortal then hurriedly jumped inside the backpack and changed into his martial arts clothes with sports shoes on,
and shouted while coming out,
"Little Crystal, make a copy of that battlefield and be ready to show it live!
Guardian token, find the coward for me with karma connection!
Space Mirror seals the battlefield and opens a passage to her!
Brush and Inkwell write a newborn contract for me!
Little Crystal, don't forget about special effects !"
Then he shouted toward the sky!
"If I want to have an epic battle, no one can stop me !"
And so, the planet turned dark again.
The living creatures on the planet, who saw a challenge, started, but it ended before Guardian Mortal could finish his line,
"-_-"
We just saw you won...
...
Mainland.
Goddess of Foresight's hideout.
She had just arrived not long ago, but before she could feel at ease, she suddenly felt a small hand grab her wrist and pull her back to the same battlefield ground as before.
She hastily looked down and saw that the same little boy from before was the one who had brought her back...
She was going to ask why he had done that.
She was already surrounded!
But to her horror, she found out that she can't control her body!
She couldn't even talk!
There was even a smug smile on her face under her hood, which was hiding her face all the time ...
The Goddess of Foresight didn't know when she surrendered; she became part of Guardian territory, and the Coach Assistant technique was naturally applied to her from that moment.
She could only control her eyes to look around.
She saw her opponent, Guardian Mortal, was doing some clumsy hand seals now, and when he was done, said,
"Divine technique, time reversal, to before World Law interrupted me."
And then he waited for a while and continued,
"Alright, start the music.
Add the aura.
Don't forget about the special effects of my attacks.
Take one, the clash of 'fate experts',
ACTION !"
The audience knew a certain little guardian wasn't satisfied with the simple challenge, so he was going to record his own epic version.
Fair enough...
And with the background music playing, Little Mortal delivered his line again, as he sighed,
"It seems the showdown between two 'fate' experts is indeed inevitable...
Today, let us decide which one is stronger?
My passive fate skill, or your foresight !"
And while a yellow aura appeared around him, he disappeared.
Goddess of Foresight shouted in her head,
'I already admit defeat, your passive skill is stronger!'
But outside, she chuckled and, while raising her hand to her right, said,
"Is there even a need to know? "
And the next moment, Little Mortal, with a face full of shock, appeared there to punch her.
But his punch was easily blocked.
The audience was stunned!
This was the first time someone blocked him, and even predicted where he was going to appear!
Little Mortal slapped the air on his left, and his body moved to the right and disappeared.
By now, everyone knew he couldn't fly, and his way to move mid-air was to slap it with his hands or his feet.
The battle of 'fate experts' continued.
The sound barrier broke here and there, and Little Mortal attacked from different directions.
However, the opponent predicted every strike and every direction before he even arrived.
Seeing that he can't continue like this, Little Mortal stopped.
Then he started doing some hand seals and clapped his hands together at the end while shouting,
"0.0000001 % power, unseal !"
When he unsealed 0.0000001% of his power, another aura added to him.
Now, the yellow and green aura was dancing around his body.
Again, he appeared beside the opponent and threw a punch.
Goddess of Foresight blocked the attack again,
But this time, she took one step back.
Little Mortal snorted,
"Still not enough !"
And after another round of random hand seals, shouted,
"0.0000002 % power, unseal !"
Red aura added to the two previous ones.
BAM
This time, the Goddess of Foresight was sent flying!
Even her hood, which was covering her face, was blown back.
When everyone saw her face, they were momentarily stunned.
Round face, big watery eyes that seem to be ready to cry at any moment, blushed cheeks, and a small mouth.
Seeing her could only make you think of one word,
[ Timid.]
But everyone wondered,
What was the deal with that arrogant smile on her timid face?
Little Mortal, who saw his attack worked, laughed arrogantly and was going to attack again,
But saw her opponent pointing at him with her index finger.
Little Mortal didn't care what she was doing, and his figure disappeared again.
The audience, though, saw the timid lady with an arrogant smile move her hand, pointing a finger in a seemingly random direction. To everyone's surprise, that random direction was where Little Mortal, while trying to kick her head with a flying kick, appeared.
However, the Goddess of Foresight didn't only predict where he was going to attack this time, but she even pushed his small feet to the side slightly without using much force with the same finger!
From the outside view, it was as if he attacked the wrong place from the start!
Little Mortal was stunned!
The audience was stunned!
Even the Goddess of Foresight herself, while crying inside, was stunned!
Such a precise, elegant, and beautifully executed way of defending oneself!
Such an expert!
The fight continued.
Little Mortal's attacks were again and again changed direction with a single finger, and his opponent didn't even move a step in any direction.
She was standing there, rotating effortlessly as she defended herself.
Under her feet, a Yin-Yang symbol had taken form at some point in time, and now it was glowing.
Little Mortal, who couldn't do anything to her, was forced to unleash more power!
"0.0000003 % power, unseal."
And the fourth color, orange, was added to the previous three.
Goddess of Foresight shook her head,
"Let's end this."
And then a 'goddess' made of gold light, which she herself was seeing for the first time, formed behind her.
The 'avatar' of this goddess was more than 10 meters tall.
For those who saw the 'guardian ceremony',
This goddess was extremely familiar.
A certain assistant would occasionally use it in her fights.
After the goddess was summoned on the battlefield,
Every time Little Mortal appeared in a random place to attack his opponent,
The 10-meter-tall 'light goddess' was the one to make a move and slap him away before he even got close to his opponent.
While 'dumbfounded', he attacked again and again.
But he was slapped away like a mosquito every time ...
Things weren't good, so,
"0.0000005 % power, unseal !"
The blue aura was next to join the group.
But before he could attack, the 10-meter-tall avatar suddenly covered itself in armor, and even a sword appeared in her hand while pointing at him!
Little Mortal didn't dare to 'risk it',
"0.0000009 %, power unseal !"
And the Indigo color was added to the previous five auras.
But before he could attack, the avatar of 'light goddess' started getting smaller and smaller, until it was the same height as the Goddess of Foresight, the one who 'summoned' it.
The audience was at a loss!
It seems every time Guardian Mortal unsealed his power, his opponent did the same!
But this time, the Goddess of Foresight didn't wait and teamed up with her new teammate, the 'light goddess', and attacked before he could unseal his power.
Little Mortal was caught off guard and forced to stop his random hand seals and defend himself.
But things were different now!
Every time he was going to block a hit, it would change direction, and he would receive the attack with his body.
The audience was shocked at how good this timid lady was at 'foresight' into the future.
She was not only good at predicting Guardian Mortal's attack, but she could even predict his defense!
They wondered what their guardians 'passive fate skill even was? Did he ever use it?
As the fight continued, blood began splattering everywhere.
Little Mortal was now covered in blood from head to toe in an exaggerated manner!
And finally, the Goddess of Foresight kicked him away, while he spat a mouthful of blood.
Then she smiled mockingly,
"Do you think anyone believes your nonsense?
What 0.0000009% power?
That's 100% of the power you have."
Little Mortal stood up with difficulty.
Blood was dripping all over his body, and a circle of blood was now formed around him.
He then sighed and said,
"You forced me to do this !"
And after another round of clumsy hand seals, which everyone watching wished to be the last one, he said,
"1 % power, unseal."
At this moment,
The last color, violet, was added to the previous auras.
His aura became like a rainbow.
And then,
All seven colors mixed.
The aura around him turned white.
The rocks around him started floating.
There was a cold light flickering in his eyes.
Goddess of Foresight, for the first time, furrowed her brow.
The cocky and arrogant smile wasn't there anymore.
Now she was looking at her opponent with a solemn look that didn't match the 'timid' face at all.
Little Mortal slowly walked towards her, step by step.
Goddess of Foresight didn't wait and ordered her avatar to attack first.
The moment her avatar's sword was going to slash at Little Mortal's head,
He raised his hand and stopped the blade with his index finger, while saying arrogantly,
"That's how you should use your index finger for defense!
Not the way you used it! "
Then he flicked his middle finger, and the sword flew away from the avatar's hand.
The next moment, his figure disappeared, and so did the avatar.
The audience, who wondered where they had gone, saw the Goddess of Foresight look up at the empty air above her head in shock.
And then raised both of her hands to defend herself!
The next moment, Little Mortal, while holding the avatar by the ankle, appeared above her head, swinging the avatar at her!
BAM
The Goddess of Foresight knelt on one knee under the impact of her own avatar.
Seeing that Little Mortal was about to hit her with the avatar again, she canceled the technique, and the avatar disappeared.
Little Mortal swung nothing at her, but he didn't care and jumped towards her while spinning.
Goddess of Foresight already knew that he was going to perform a spin kick, but it didn't change the outcome.
While defending her stomach with both hands,
She was sent flying.
The tide of battle shifted after the 1% power was unleashed.
The Goddess of Foresight kept getting hit and sent flying in random directions.
From the start, every time the two were about to clash, the scene would be played out for the audience in slow motion, allowing them to see what was happening.
But in one of the slow-motion scenes, when the scene turns to slow motion again,
Little Mortal, instead of attacking, took something out of his clothes and stuffed it into his opponent's mouth.
The Crystal, who just recognized it wasn't an attack, but something else, tried to turn the speed back to normal,
But it was already late... Everyone saw it...
The audience was speechless.
It was 'fake blood' that Guardian Mortal stuffed in.
They all thought to themselves,
'Let us guess, she is going to spit a mouthful of blood now, isn't she?'
And sure enough, the next hit made her spit out a mouthful of 'blood' ...
The audience,
"-_-"
The goddess of Foresight, who had just spat blood, was now really confused.
Not only because her body wasn't under her control,
But because each time she got punched or kicked by one of those small fists or feet, she could feel that she could die.
However, every time the force behind the punch or kick entered her body, before causing her any harm, it would disappear.
She even thought,
'Am I invincible?
Was I always this strong without knowing ?'
The one-sided battle continued.
Around 10 minutes later, she could no longer keep up and dropped to her knees.
At this moment, Little Mortal walked to the kneeling Goddess of Foresight and said,
"You can admit defeat now that the winner has been decided.
There is no point in killing a talented Fate expert like myself..."
And sighed like a lonely senior as he continued,
"In the end, there are not many of us left ...
We are like an endangered species."
The audience thought,
'We still didn't see any of your fate abilities, even though the fight itself was fun to watch.'
Goddess of Foresight felt her body was back under her control.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered the second sentence from her foresight and felt enlightened.
Indeed, the second sentence was true; she just didn't say it at the right time.
So she said it again, at the right time and right place,
"I admit defeat... "
The World Law's sound, the fake version produced by Crystal, echoed everywhere,
[ The battle of 'fate experts' ended.
Fate expert, Mortal, wins.]
The audience was still wondering,
Where and when did their guardian use any Fate skill?
In Forbidden Jungle, the new batch of newborns, unsure whether to sign their contract or not, signed it with trembling hands.
This guardian was obviously a newborn like them,
But how is he so strong?
At first, they thought he was using 100% of his power to fight, but the older batch, who had seen his fight with the God of Life and Death, told them to watch that fight if they wanted to catch a glimpse of his real power, rather than just watching this martial arts movie.
Little Mortal didn't know, but like his ceremony,
All the guardians 'challenges were saved, too.
Anyone who had connected to World Law could watch it in Guardian territory if they were a creature under his protection.
World Law had an archive of him and his activities.
At this moment, on the battlefield, the Goddess of Foresight received a contract too.
She thought when the challenge was done,
She would go back, but it seems that wasn't the case.
The battlefield was still around; the little guardian was here too, along with a contract for her to sign.
Reading the contract, she had no problem with it.
So she signed it.
She just needed to collaborate with him on any matters later, if there was no harm in it for her.
She didn't know,
But because she was a creature under guardian protection, she wouldn't get hurt that easily anymore, even if she wanted to.
Little Mortal nodded and said,
"You can go now."
And a passage opened behind her, that Little Mortal with a clap of his hands made a shock wave and pushed her to the other side.
...
Mainland.
Goddess of Foresight's hideout.
A passage opened, and she was pushed back to her place.
Her hands were shaking now.
Her timid face was pale.
At the end, before being pushed back to her hideout, through her momentary connection to World Law, she tried to verify if the contract she had signed truly had World Law as a witness, that it was indeed as she had thought.
But at the same time, she saw something else there.
There was a challenge record of Guardian Mortal that she could actually watch.
Not only one, but the records show that 13 people fought this little guardian, and she herself was one of them.
She could even watch the challenges and see how they went!
Before being pushed back, out of curiosity, she tried to watch the first challenge while looking at the names of those who were being challenged.
Surprisingly, everyone from the 'revenge list' was there, and even some other scary names were included.
And the one she had the time to watch was Guardian Mortal's challenge with the God of Contract, who had actually been killed mysteriously not long ago and was resurrected recently.
When she returned to the Mainland, even though she was disconnected from World Law through the 'Guardian Archive', she saw the first challenge from start to end as she 'fast-forwarded' it.
Her forehead was now covered in sweat, and her face was pale from fright because of what she saw.
"H-he actually turned him into his puppet..."
She couldn't believe it if World Law wasn't involved.
But that was the World Law record, and it couldn't be faked.
"What were those birth treasures with him in the fight?
And what happened to the rest of the names?
If he is still challenging others, and if others can challenge him, it means he has won all the fights until now...? "
And as if her assumption was correct, she suddenly triggered another foresight that would benefit her in the near future if she could figure out how to use it.
But the foresight was so meaningless that she couldn't understand it at all.
It was a 'picture' of a paper in her hand, with some information written on it.
In the image, she saw herself giving the paper to the Entertainment Goddess.
It seems she was going to ask her to make a story or script out of it for her.
The moment she thought of Entertainment Goddess, she remembered another fact.
"Mortal is on really good terms with her, and even has a 'deal' with her ..."
She felt that any foresight with him involved was always like an opportunity, rather than an inevitable future for her.
So she hastily took out a piece of paper and started writing down everything she saw from her foresight.
When she was done, she left immediately.
Her destination?
The castle of Entertainment Goddess.
...
Planet Lubo.
In the new location of the silver platform.
Little Mortal said,
"This foresight girl is pretty smart.
She admits defeat so that I won't harm her.
But I think she didn't know that I am a Frontline guardian, and after she admitted defeat, I can't do anything to her even if I want to ."
Rose nodded,
"I heard from Crystal that her foresight only gives her some signs, and that's all.
It can't be changed either, it's inevitable."
Little Mortal raised an eyebrow,
"I didn't know it works like that...
So it should be fine to leave her alone.
I'm sure her foresight already showed her an 'inevitable' future, and that's why she challenged me and admitted defeat."
Then he turned to his backpack,
"Alright, big guy, be ready to receive some castles.
Those whom I took care of the other day still have their castles left over in the Mainland. "
The Space Mirror, who knew what he was going to do, started flying around.
Little Mortal nodded,
"Alright, alright.
I won't touch Lady Astronaut's castle ..."
And left through a passage.
When he left, and the birth treasures were sure about it, they all started vibrating at Crystal.
The birth treasures turned to Rose and started vibrating!
Rose raised an eyebrow,
"You want me to permit the Crystal so we can watch the fight between Boss and the six who challenged him?
Oh, because he permitted me to use his birthday gifts, I can allow it... "
Then, after thinking for a brief moment, she nodded.
"Alright, please show us then. "
She was really curious too.
Her boss actually killed six of those so-called parasites altogether?
And he even used his lucky coin for it!
Before that, he even took away a bunch of newborns with him on a secret rescue mission.
It should be something interesting to watch for sure.
Rose, who was thinking to herself, looked around and became speechless.
In an instant, the silver platform was filled with managers.
She knew these people were always 'secretly' watching her boss, and now that he left, they all joined her to watch the fight ...
The Crystal vibrates.
Everyone nodded in agreement,
"Good call, Divine Crystal !"
And everyone understood the meaning.
This way, if the little demon wants to silence them for seeing what they shouldn't, he needs to silence the whole planet.
A moment later, the whole planet turned dark again, and the sky became the screen for everyone.
A scene appeared.
It was a big arena.
Maybe three kilometers wide.
Six people were on one side, facing a little boy who appeared far away from them.
Everyone recognized the six as the ones Guardian Mortal challenged 3 days ago.
And naturally, everyone recognized the little boy whose back view could be seen.
Different people knew the little boy by different names.
Little Mortal, sect master, Boss, Guardian, Count Dracula, Ancestor, Evil god...
The video starts playing.
The first thing they heard was,
[ Judgment by age.]
The moment the familiar voice said that, everyone watching felt cold.
And at the same time, in the arena, everything froze.
Then all kinds of scary flowers start coming out of the ground, covered by ice, and rushing towards the little boy.
A sphere of water surrounded the little boy the next moment, and closed all the escape routes.
The water sphere froze the next moment and transformed into an ice sphere.
In the sky, large burning asteroids appeared and began falling to the ground.
It was as if the Apocalypse had begun,
Just because the little boy said, 'judgment by age.'
Everyone thought,
'How a little boy can survive- huh?
'Where is the little boy? '
Now in Little Mortal's place, a man was standing.
If he didn't wear the same martial arts clothes as Guardian Mortal, only in adult sizes, they might think it was a completely different person.
The moment he appeared, the feeling of helplessness, powerlessness, and weakness was felt by everyone's mind and heart.
As if this man was the Weakest level 1 being you could find in the whole world.
Maybe if there was a level 0 creature out there somewhere, it was him.
Then there was a sigh.
As if the man knew he was too weak to change anything...
Followed by a single word,
[ Expand. ]
The moment he said the word, the video turned to slow motion, and with him at the center, everything around him started to separate.
First, the scary flowers turned into smaller pieces.
Then the ice, then the ground itself, then the burning asteroids falling, and then the ice sphere.
While the ice sphere separated into pieces, the closer pieces to the man began to separate into even smaller pieces.
And like a wave, the same effect was applied to the other pieces farther away, separating them even more.
When the ice sphere shattered into pieces, everyone could see the group of six people outside again.
But none of them was looking at their opponent; instead, they were all looking at a woman who was coming out of a passage above their heads in confusion.
The woman, who had just arrived, slowly turned towards the center of the arena, where the adult mortal was standing, and her eyes slowly widened in shock.
At this moment, everything around the man at the center was separated into even smaller pieces, more like dust.
The Crystal even zoomed in to show it properly.
The ice pieces separated into their molecular components, oxygen and hydrogen.
The scary flowers contain calcium, potassium, magnesium, and other essential nutrients.
The asteroid broke down into molecules of iron, aluminum, silicon, and other elements.
And before anyone could react, everything around the man, which now included the 6+1 people too, separated into the molecules that they were made of.
Even the arena wasn't spared!
Nobody knew that even those molecules started separating into even smaller pieces of atoms, and then even the atoms split into the smallest units of elements, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The man that only his back view was on the screen, sighed again in the now empty area, and as his voice turned from an adult to a child, his height became shorter and shorter,
He said,
"They say revenge is a dish best served cold ...
But why don't I feel any joy from it ...?
Is it because revenge can't bring them back ...?"
The onlookers couldn't hear anything but helplessness and depression in his weak voice...
As if he were taking a completely meaningless revenge now.
A passage opened beneath the little boy's feet, which were now falling because the arena had vanished, and he disappeared inside it.
The world, with only grassland as its ground,
and a dark sky with many bubbles on one side,
turned silent with his departure.
And then,
BooM!
The audience's hearts jumped to their throats!
Out of nowhere, a massive explosion took place somewhere in the background, forming a humongous mushroom cloud!
The end.
