The Irregular In ATG

Tatsuya had done recreating his innate ability, Decomposition. In that category lies different abilities that could bring ultimate destruction, thus this ability was named Demon Right. Because of the power that rivals even that of a demon or devil.

Within that category, Mist Dispersion and Material Burst are hidden. These two abilities works through the underlying concept of Tatsuya's Decomposition which technically allows him decompose entities. Mist Dispersion decomposes entities into mists, while Material Burst decomposes an object into elementary particles or pure energy.

Just from the process that these abilities undergo, these abilities could be nicknamed as 'Harbinger of Destruction' because of its unreal capabilities and infinite potential to get near-infinitely stronger. However, despite of its destructive capability, it needs Tatsuya's Elemental Sight to work which makes it particularly troublesome to use against cultivator.

Once a cultivator break through into higher realm, their molecular structure is slightly altered to the point that Tatsuya must spend a few seconds to analyze such change. That few seconds is more than enough for someone to kill Tatsuya, and that's the reason why he can't use it on real combat, unless he has some graphical advantages that lets him waste a few seconds.

(Baryon Lance is an ability that I created based on the Brionac. A weapon that could produce photon beams with an astronomical level of heat.)

(In the past, Baryon Lance would gather the psions in the surroundings and will condense it into a primal form which contains millions of energy, and unreal amount of heat. However, this world obviously doesn't have any psions in which I will condense…)

Tatsuya knew that the recreation of his ability, Baryon Lance would be more difficult compared to the recreation of his innate ability, Decomposition.

(Unlike last time where I only needed to change the source of energy for my innate ability, Decomposition, it is different this time. I would need to change the overall concept of Baryon Lance and also change its energy source.)

Actually, he planned to recreate this ability for the last. However, seeing that he now have the capability to recreate it easily, he would quickly grab that chance to improve the likeliness of him not encountering any dangerous obstacles.

(I guess, I should start…)

Tatsuya inwardly thought to himself, as his body heat changed mysteriously. The heat that should be present vanished, and the cold that should be present disappeared. Tatsuya's current body doesn't possess the concept of heat or cold.

This is the state of equilibrium in which an entity attains the peak state of their body, allowing them to enter the state of enlightenment. This state is something that even godly beings have failed to easily achieve.

In that instant, Tatsuya felt a mysterious flow of energy enter his body and even his ethereal soul. He suddenly felt a huge increase on his creativity and other mental aspects, as the previously clouded ideas that he can't touch, are now something he can grasp easily.

If back then, he didn't have any confidence in recreating his innate ability, Baryon Lance. Now, he has more than 80% certainty that he would be able to recreate it without any hassle or troubles.

The profound veins that Tatsuya possessed endlessly throbbed, as it helped him stabilize the Yin and Yang energy within his body. State of enlightenment which was rarely encountered, Tatsuya now has full access into it.

The overlord of the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, the Scarlet Dragon, personally guarded the waterfall in attempt to gain an appropriate amount of Yin energy. It didn't know that Tatsuya could freely access the state of enlightenment. If it knew that Tatsuya could do so, surely it wouldn't just quietly wait…

…

While, Tatsuya is fully focusing on his task to recreate his innate ability, Baryon Lance. Chu Xin who was undergoing the inevitable process of metamorphosis, is currently enveloped by a translucent energy. Once an energy became translucent, it signifies that it has reached the purest and peak form of an energy.

The dormant Heavenly Yin Profound Veins on Chu Xin's body is endlessly throbbing, while changing slowly into a crystalline-colored profound veins. Endless pure Yin energy which contains; water, ice, and darkness are entering her body unceasingly.

Every part of her body is getting nourished by the extremely pure Yin energy. She could be said experiencing Nirvana itself. It is the process of undergoing rebirth, and becoming very pure and anew. Organs such as blood marrow, kidney, heart, and etcera are being nourished continuously, making it sturdier and more powerful.

Her body suddenly floated and hovered slightly on the air, as her cultivation strength continuously increased. From 0th stage of Elementary Profound Realm, it is now at 6th stage of Elementary Profound Realm, and it is still not showing any signs of stopping.

"Ahnn…"

A very weak and faint voice leaked out of her slightly opened lips, as she groaned in pain. A pentagon mark appeared on her forehead, as it vibrated slightly while glowing in golden color. The mark released a thread of golden energy, as it assimilated itself into her body.

Chu Xin's body suddenly turned into an ice sculpture, as her body emitted extreme cold. Fortunately, the energy was suspended only around her, and didn't spread outwards.

*Crack*

A cracking sound echoed throughout the cave. It was faint yet relevant, as it accompanied the sound of the burning torch.

Chu Xin's ice sculpture-like body cracked, as web-like crack gradually spread all over her petite body. The cracks were gradually becoming dense and innumerable. Suddenly, the cracking sound halted, as Chu Xin's body only hovered on the air peacefully.

*Bang!*

A loud sound appeared throughout the cave, as the ice-like shell that was covering Chu Xin's body had been blasted into smithereens. A mist was generated out of the shell that was broken, as it shrouded Chu Xin's current state.

Thankfully, the broken ice shell ultimately disappeared into mist, without harming Tatsuya who sat beside Chu Xin's hovering body.

The mist that was covering Chu Xin's petite body, gradually dispersed into thin air. It took quite some time, but the moment the mist disappeared, Chu Xin's body was fully revealed.

A big difference could be immediately spotted. If back then, she was already beautiful, now she's like a fairy that had descended from the heaven to please the mortals using her fairness. Her long eyelashes now had a tint of white, as her short black hair had some white stripes on it.

The pentagon mark that had appeared a while ago, still appeared visible on her forehead, as it continuously glowed in golden color. A faint aura was being emitted from that mark, as it contained dominance and ancientness.

"Mmhm"

A faint voice appeared on the cave, as Chu Xin's eyelashes trembled. Her hovering body slowly floated down to the cushion, as the pentagon mark on her forehead assimilated into her skin. The pentagon mark vanished, as it hid on Chu Xin's body.

"…"

Chu Xin slowly regained her consciousness, as she slowly opened her closed eyelids. Her previously pure-black eyes had changed into greyish color, as her noble aura intensified to the point of herself being completely engulfed with it.

(I didn't know that I possessed such secret…)

That was the thought that occurred within Chu Xin's mind, as the awakening of her Heavenly Yin Profound Veins gave her knowledge about herself and a hint about her origin.

The air around Chu Xin also changed, as her aura seemed to convey that she could see through anyone with a single gaze. Despite that, when she turned her gaze towards Tatsuya, all she got is nothing. She couldn't read Tatsuya at all.

(Big brother Tatsuya…)

She longingly stared at the sitting figure of Tatsuya, as she fell into a daze without realizing it. Now that she had gained some memories about her profound veins, she knew just how monstrous her talent can be.

She mistakenly thought that the Heavenly Yin Profound Veins gave her the knowledge that she now possesses, as she doesn't have a single hint about the pentagon mark that once appeared on her forehead.

(Should… I tell him about me? No- I think big brother Tatsuya already know it…)

She instinctively knew that Tatsuya already knew everything about her talent, and this hunch all originated from her womanly intuition. She just felt it, nothing more, but she's already pretty confident at this hunch. After all…

(Big brother Tatsuya… is more amazing than me!)

Upon being saved by Tatsuya, Chu Xin learned to idolize the young man before her. It's not a blinded idolization but an idolization being backed by facts. Although, she wasn't that much knowledgeable about godly powers that exist within the world, she knew that someone who could easily erase an entity is a strong individual.

"Hm. Hello, Chu Xin."

As she was thinking about Tatsuya himself, she suddenly heard his voice enter her own ears. She quickly woke up from her daze, as she saw Tatsuya looking at her with his usual indifferent gaze.

"Thank you very much, big brother Tatsuya…"

"For what..?"

"Everything that you have done for me, and I now promise to help you with the best I can offer."

Tatsuya stared quietly at Chu Xin's figure, as he quickly accepted the changes on her appearance. After all, everything is only information for Tatsuya, as a change on an entity's physical characteristics doesn't really matter to him.

"Likewise, I'll continue to protect you until we reach the New Moon City…"

Tatsuya replied, as he let out a thin smile on his face. A confident emotion flashed across his eyes, as he knew that right now, he had already recreated his innate skill, Baryon Lance. With this innate ability, that could condense the profound energy into a one-point matter which contains an astronomical amount of heat, he could already contend with the dragon who was standing guard outside.

"Then, shall we continue our travel?"

"Yes!"

"Mm. But before that, lemme deal with the dragon first…"

"D-dragon?"

Chu Xin felt confused, as she quietly stared at Tatsuya. Right now, her cultivation base had already reached 1st stage of Nascent Profound Realm, but that much isn't enough to fight against a dragon. Likewise, Tatsuya's 9th stage of Nascent Profound Realm couldn't contend against a dragon.

Chu Xin could somehow sense Tatsuya's cultivation realm, and as such, she felt quite confused when Tatsuya declared that he will deal with a dragon. After all, any profound beasts that have a 'dragon' name on it, usually posseses cultivation realm above the Earth Profound Realm.

"Don't let the cultivation base be your factor in deciding someone's prowess, Chu Xin. Don't worry and just like I said, trust me…"

(But, what dragon is big brother Tatsuya talking about?)

Chu Xin quietly stared at Tatsuya, as she inwardly thought to herself. She then saw Tatsuya somehow halting the water drops from falling beyond the height of the entrance's cave. She slowly turned her gaze outside the cave, as she got startled.

"There really is a dragon!"
