The First Store System

Geoffrey, without even a hint of fluctuation of emotions in his eyes, watched the scene of the store owner attempting to create a space for him in the barrier on the screen.

"Since the result would stay the same even if I attempt to do anything, you leave me no choice," Geoffrey mumbled, coldly staring at the screen.

He then tapped twice on the back of his right hand. The next moment, a burning pain attacked him as a burning three presented itself, engraved on his hands like a tattoo.

The tattoo was the rank of his organization in the top five. It was also the way for the 'Dimension Sovereigns' to connect with the Void beasts for their promise of single-time protection.

Geoffrey then took out a drop of his blood from his pocket space and smeared it on the burning pattern.

The next moment, the blood began evaporating due to the heat released by the burning three, while the pain felt by Geoffrey also grew severalfold. It was a psychological pain, so despite him being an Immortal with a pseudo divine physique, the pain still felt unbearable.

The vapor released by the burning blood didn't disappear, but it began accumulating into the air a few meters above the respective hand.

Soon, the entire drop of blood had evaporated. The burning pattern engraved on Geoffrey's hands began fading, and in no time, it entirely disappeared.

The vapor released by the drop of blood started gathering to form a giant circular loop.

The circular loop then began even more expanding. In a split second, its diameter had reached thousands of miles. If not for Geoffrey being in his garden, it would've destroyed his palace.

If Geoffrey were to see toward the darkness, he would find it missing. The moment he had activated the pattern to call the Void beast, the darkness engulfing more than half of his garden disappeared.

The circular loop finally stopped as the space inside it started fluctuating like an ocean wave.

Not long after, a finger several times bigger than Geoffrey in size began coming out of the circular loop that had now become a portal.

Soon, the entire finger stepped out, followed by hands, elbows, arms, and finally, the Void beast stepped out of the portal completely.

The Void beast had a humanoid structure and a humungous stature. It toweringly looked down on Geoffrey. Geoffrey had to crane his neck straight to look at the entirety of the beast.

It only had a humanoid structure, but it looked entirely different from a human.

The beast had white skin with black spots spread all over its body. It had a single cow-like horn sprouting from the place between the eyebrow. It had a pair of vertical eyes without an eyelid, and both the eyes were without any pupil and had different colors. One was black, while one was white.

It had human hands, but it only had three fingers in a hand, while they were of the same size. It had a cow-like hoof in place of feet.

<br/>Right after the Void beast appeared, its eyes fell on the spot where once darkness had taken the space. It couldn't help but frown, as it sensed something wrong from the place, but it couldn't put its hand on what it was.

Geoffrey also followed the Void beast's eyesight and noticed the disappearance of the darkness. His emotions had a sudden change, but he masked it before the Void beast could witness it.

After not being able to put its hand on what was the issue, the Void beast stopped looking at the spot. It returned its eyes and looked toward its summoner and then the screen, showing the scene of a blue-skinned man attempting to harm the barrier around the galaxy.

"What do you want from me?" The Void beast asked Geoffrey. "Remember, you can only ask once for my help," It added before Geoffrey could say anything.

Geoffrey nodded, hearing the Void beast. He was aware that the Void beast would only help the 'Dimension Sovereigns' once.

"I am aware," Geoffrey responded and then further added, "I want you to kill the intruder," Geoffrey told the Void beast while pointing at the running screen.

"Okay!" A voice echoed in the area in response as the Void beast had already disappeared.

***

After shooting ten of his arrows, Aakesh decided to shoot another one this time.

He stretched the bowstring, and soon an outline of the arrow started appearing.

First, a nock appeared, then black tail feathers, then a golden shaft with strange black patterns engraved on it, and finally an arrowhead similar to the last time appeared. It only had a difference of color. The fire was golden, while the tiny flame inside it was black.

The arrow was the updated version of the last arrow. Aakesh could only shoot three of these while a shot required a second.

Aakesh was going to release the bowstring when suddenly he felt an unprecedented danger to his life coming from his behind.

He disappeared from the spot with the arrow still nocked on his bow and appeared several miles away.

The next moment, the space around the spot where he was standing only a moment earlier got crushed like paper.

Aakesh felt the danger again, but this time instead of escaping, he aimed his bow toward the sky and released it.

"Boom!"

The next moment, an explosion with an unprecedented force took place, and it threw Aalesh thousands of miles backward.

Fortunately for him, Aakesh wasn't unprepared like the last time, so using his bow, he stopped himself from falling into a situation where he would again have severe injuries.

He then focused on the spot where the explosion had occurred, only to notice a towering figure standing in the midst of golden smoke and black flame.

The explosion did no damage to the towering figure, but the black fire was no ordinary flame. It was an undying flame that would never go away without burning its opponent.

It could only get doused in two ways. Either by completely overpowering it, or second, by getting burnt into ashed due to it.

The towering figure also felt threatened by the black flame, but it eventually succeeded in dousing it. But it wasn't without injuries. There were several burn marks spread across its body, including a few severe injuries.
