The First Store System

The injury created by the disk healed right away, but the shock it produced didn’t. If not for the system’s acting and making Oxen’s mind calm, the effect of this beatdown would’ve made Oxen stand shocked for a few seconds.

After cutting Oxen’s hands, the disk returned to the opponent.

This time, the mirror acted right away, giving no time to Oxen to think.

Suddenly, two new disks appeared, with the original disk rotating in the center.

The two new disks were each half the size of the center one.

The opponent then released the center one, and the disks on the left and right followed on their own and charged toward Oxen.

Oxen thought of dodging the disks, but when he attempted to do it, he found himself unable to budge as if something had tightly bound him to that place.

“Clang!”

The next moment, a sound of metallic clash rang in the area as Oxen’s fist clashed with the center disk.

Oxen’s hands had turned silver as the other hand reached toward the disk on the right and grabbed it, crushing it in no time.

The disk on the left clashed with Oxen just above his waist portion and got stuck there, as it couldn’t move forward.

“Thud!”

Suddenly a crashing sound rang in the area as the hand Oxen had used to clash with the center disk fell to the ground.

The disk then charged toward Oxen’s head. Before it could do that, Oxen’s other hand came in the way and clashed with the disk.

“Boom!”

Suddenly a loud sound like an explosion rang in the area as the opponent appeared right behind Oxen and punched, aiming at his head.

Oxen’s head was no less than watermelon in the presence of a hammer, so his head burst into pieces.

“THUD!!!”

The next moment, a crashing sound loud enough to shake planets rang in the area as the giant body of Oxen crashed on the ground without the head.

“Ugh!” Oxen groaned as he regained his consciousness after getting revived.

The first thing he did was check his head and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it was fine.

“I lost,” He then mumbled as it was the first time he had lost, and that too overwhelmingly. From the start of the battle spanning over a few seconds, he gained no advantage or even touched the opponent, while he got injuries, and in the end, died.

Soon the system present in the training area acted, and Oxen’s mind returned to calm, only thinking about the battle.

The next moment, the second battle between Oxen and his opponent began.

Time flew by.

“Hey, system, can the Void beasts get stronger any further?” Aakesh asked the system after Oxen left for the training area.

The Void beasts were at the absolute limit of the Primal dimension, so if they grew even further, wouldn’t that mean they would be able to breach the limit of the Primal dimension and would have to ascend to the higher dimension.

[Yes, Host! Due to originating from a drop of blood of Vritrasura, the Void beasts belonging to both the dimensions had a limitless physique.]

The system responded in its usual emotionless and mechanical voice.

The limitless physique was the strongest physique in the existence of the Multiverse after the Devas. As its name suggested, the owner of this physique could grow limitlessly, and at one point, they would even be able to surpass the Devas.

There has only been one recorded owner of the limitless physique in the three dimensions. He was none other than Vritrasura, the only being in existence other than Devas to fight against the Devas and survive for a whopping eleven seconds.

If not for the cruel and destructive tendency of the Vritrasura, he would’ve only grown stronger, and the newborn Deva at that time wouldn’t have to intervene.

“Limitless physique? Wouldn’t that result in the appearance of twenty-two Vritrasura like creatures?” Aakesh asked another question as it was the first time he heard about the physique of the Void beasts.

[No, Host! No matter how strong the Void beasts grow, they can’t ascend to the Sacred dimension or the third dimension.]

[If they want to ascend, the Void beasts have no choice but to grow out of the control of the Deva that created them.]

The system answered. Aakesh nodded after hearing the answer.

Growing out of control of a Deva was impossible for the Void beasts since they weren’t even the actual Vritrasura, but just a percent of a drop of his blood, depending on the dimension.

“Does that mean even if they breached the Level 250 mark in the Panagea, they still wouldn’t be able to ascend?” Aakesh asked.

[Yes, Host! There is no way for them to ascend even in the store.]

“So disappointing,” Aakesh responded, hearing the system’s answer.

“Here, I thought I was a Deva, and you’re my actual consciousness,” Aakesh jokingly commented.

[Host, you don’t have sufficient authority to know that answer.]

“Leave it,” Aakesh mumbled, feeling disappointed with himself for trying to joke with the system.

***

It has been seven hundred hours since Oxen had been training in the Gods u0026 Demons level training area.

In these past hours, he had stopped counting how many times he had died, but the Oxen from before entering the training area, when compared with the current one, was entirely different.

“Drip Drop!”

“Drip Drop!”

“Drip Drop!”

A sound of something dropping on the ground filled with ice rang in the area as the mirror Oxen stood there straight.

Even though the mirror oxen stood there straight, he had no life in his eyes and couldn’t be any more dead. Where the heart was supposed to be, there was instead a giant hole, and it was also the source of sound as the blood continuously fell.

“Finally!” Oxen commented with no emotions in his voice, seeing the dead opponent.

The actual Oxen had his only horn vertically cut in half, while half of his face was also gone, and it was healing at a visible rate.

The next moment, the dead opponent crashed to the ground, and its body scattered like sand in the field laden with ice. Soon a new piece of information appeared inside his head.

Unlike Trihan, who had gotten his skill upgraded after killing the Hygar, Oxen gained a new skill related to the disk.
