我年轻漂亮的继坶4

The face of his friend was bloody and badly bruised, multiple injuries could be seen on his body, and his single eye had a large hole which was in place of where his Iris was supposed to be; there was a clear sign of torture on him, and an anguished expression froze on his face in his death.

The red-haired man shook his hand and tossed away the lifeless body, allowing it to float aimlessly in space as he turned his gaze to Ivan.

Ivan\'s body trembled, but he held himself back; he could feel his great anger boiling within him. He had to keep his rationality; it would be horrible if he got blinded by rage.

"You see, I came to get your daughter as promised, but I wasn\'t able to find her, neither was I able to find you. I decided to look for your family, but even your parents and sister didn\'t know. I thought they were lying, so…I held a special interrogation with them; they seemed to really not know because they didn\'t tell me anything useful until their death.

I went to look for your friends instead but only found this guy. He showed a reaction after I interviewed him, but he refused to say, such a stubborn guy," the red-haired man said with a helpless sigh as if he was reporting something casually.

Ivan\'s eyes widened when he heard the man\'s words; his body trembled violently when he was told that his mother and sister had been killed in search of his family.

Ivan suspected that the man might be lying but he wasn\'t able to hold himself back at the thought of his mother and sister suffering in the hands of the person.

BOOM!

His body exploded with Ki energy and his mecha roared to life, Ivan immediately shot toward the man like a comet. His speed was so fast that he caused a crack in space and made the universe shake.

The man\'s face formed a grin when he saw Ivan rushing toward him with a mad look in his eyes, red energy began to leak out from his body. This energy looked exactly like Ki but was far more vibrant than Ki energy.

Ivan reached him in less than 0.001 seconds as he seemed to have teleported through space.

But just before his hand could touch the man, the man vanished into thin air and what Ivan\'s hand reached was only an afterimage!

Ivan\'s eyes widened. No, the man didn\'t vanish, his speed was just so terrifying that Ivan wasn\'t even able to follow up.

Just how strong was he?!

Sadly, Ivan wasn\'t given the chance to think about this as a large palm appeared in the corner of his eyes and grabbed his face.

Ivan felt his vision blur and a strong wind pressure slamming into the other side of his face as he was moved at a very fast speed that he wasn\'t able to follow.

Like a shooting comet, the red-haired man grabbed Ivan\'s face, and the two of them shot through the empty universe and flew past planets, smashing through meteorites along the way and even empty planets.

Ivan felt pain as he was smashed through meteorites and planets at a terrifying speed.

"Hahaha! Do you feel it?! Do you feel it? This is true power, this is what a father of Ki is like. Do you know I no longer use Ki? This is Nexus, a power far stronger than Ki!"

The voice of the red-haired man echoed through the universe, spreading to millions of planets that were close by as they continued to shoot through the universe; Ivan was completely helpless and unable to resist.

….

In the blood labyrinth, the single eye of the priestess stared at Ivan\'s body with a horrified look as she screamed in despair.

"How is this possible? It can\'t be; I made sure to put him in a good dream; what\'s this reaction?!"

She stared at Ivan\'s body on the ground. His body had turned half-stone, and his body to his chest had lost all color; that part of his body looked just like the statue. More and more energy passed through the tattoos and runes.

As for the statue, it had almost reverted back to looking like a true living being. Only its head was still stone, every other part of its body was now very lifelike and refined.

The priestess was panicking. For some reason, Ivan\'s expression had suddenly turned into one of viciousness and the part of his body that had not turned into was trembling.

The energy that had been moving from his body into the statue had also stopped and was slowly flowing back instead, the sacrifice was reversing!

The priestess was getting anxious and wanted to do something but didn\'t dare to move because of the teenager who was still sitting on top of the blood wall and was looking at Ivan\'s body with expressionless eyes.

She was afraid that he would interfere if she tried to take action.

"Good, I would have been disappointed if he wasn\'t able to do this by himself" the voice of the teenager sounded through the entire labyrinth as he nodded.

The priestess bit her fingers when she heard this but still didn\'t do anything and could only pray to her master.

...

Meanwhile, standing on top of an enormous meteorite that was as huge as a planet was the red-haired man. His body was spotless and he didn\'t look like someone who had engaged in battle not too long ago.

But it wasn\'t the same for Ivan.

He was currently kneeling in front of the red-haired man and looked more like a kneeling corpse than a human.

He was bloodied, his white hair was drenched in blood that it had turned crimson. His mecha had been shattered and only had a few pieces of it left on Ivan\'s body, blood rushed down his body like a running stream and stained the place around him.

He looked horrible!

"Just tell me, Ivan. It\'s to use trying to hide them anymore since I\'ll find them sooner or later but I won\'t be able to guarantee their safety if I\'m in an angry state when I find them. You already know the power I possess, Ki is useless before it. Why not save yourself the suffering and end all of this?"Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

The red-haired man said with a smile on his face as if he hadn\'t just beaten Ivan to near death.

Ivan didn\'t respond for a while; his entire body was screaming in pain, and he felt like dying, but something strange was happening to him.

Memories, memories that he had forgotten after so many years were resurfacing in his mind.

He now remembered why Nexus sounded familiar to him, it was in that dream that he had years back when he was still just an ordinary person.

Nexus energy is a form of energy that is hundreds of times more powerful than Ki.

Along with the memories of Nexus, strange images that Ivan found difficult to believe also began to resurface.

At this moment, a click sound sounded within Ivan as he felt a strange heat suddenly rush through his body and make all the pain that he was feeling disappear. He still looked bloody on the outside but he felt so much strength within him, a level of strength that he didn\'t dare to imagine.

The red-haired man didn\'t notice this and continued to speak.

"The universe is in danger, without her eyes, I won\'t be able to save it. Come on, you\'re a hero of humanity. Would you rather let the world burn or let me get your daughter\'s eyes and let her live?" He asked.

Ivan finally reacted, and he slowly raised his head. His eyes now had hints of red in them, but because of his blood-drenched hair falling over his face, the man wasn\'t able to see this.

"Just…answer me this once. Years ago, my father\'s death," Ivan trailed off; he believed the man already knew what he wanted to ask.

The face of the man didn\'t change when he heard Ivan\'s words, the smile remained on his face as he answered.

"Ah, about your father. True, I planned the mission to kill him. He knew my real identity, I don\'t know who he found out but I previously let him be because he was useful. I killed him because I couldn\'t let anyone else know about your secret, not even your father"

" I…see" Ivan mumbled under his breath as if finally getting a heavy burden from his shoulders.

The man looked at him strangely before asking.

" I\'ve answered, so what\'s your reply?"

" I will.." Ivan muttered softly.

The eyes of the red-haired man lit up, and he bent his body to Ivan\'s level.

" I didn\'t catch that, you would what?"

He thought that Ivan was about to tell the location where he hid his daughter.

Ivan paused for a few seconds before muttering again.

" I will…let the world burn!"

BOOM!
